what to know how to move the x value of menuButton. The rest of the code is working fine
Code: Select all var currentX:Number = _level0["menuButton"+i]._x;
//next button try to move left (not working)
_level0.attachMovie("next", "nextButton"+i, _level0.getNextHighestDepth());
var btnxt = _level0["nextButton"+i];

I've got this space background image that you can move around with the arrow keys. What I'm trying to accomplish is kind of hard to explain so I'll just give an example...
First, look at the SWF and move the background in any direction. You'll notice that the actual image is pretty small, just barely bigger than the stage itself. I want to make a script that will create duplicates of this image and place those duplicates in the right place so that you will never see the empty white space.
Ok, so say you hold down the right arrow key.. and the image moves left. Once the right edge of the space graphic touches the right edge of the stage, i want a duplicate of the picture placed so that the left edge meets the right edge of the original graphic. Keep holding right, and eventually the original graphic will be pushed off the stage. I'd then like for that graphic to be removed, and for the whole process to repeat itself while moving the picture.
For some reason the x++ loop to move clip doesn't work. There must be an easy fault.
cX=iButton[i].x;
while (cX>iX) {
iButton[i].x=cX;
cX--
}
It should move a thing smoothly, as I understand it, but it doesn't. It completes the while and then shows the iButton at iX, completing the loop without showing a thing meanwhile. I even put a 1000-count for{} loop to slow it down, but it just delayed the final outcome. I also tried to move the moving to a separate function, and into a package. (It's these menus I want to slow down.)
I am trying to make a simulation of a blood moving in an artery and I want blood cells to continuously be moving across the stage ( so that there are no gaps in between one loop and the other) when i click the start button.I thought about doing a setinterval loop but it just overwrites the previous set of generated mcs? This is the code on my button
on (release) {
var years:Number = 80;

im currently making an "AS3 beat em up" ala streets of rage or double dragon.Currently i have my character moving and a few animations done and i am trying to figure out how to make attacks work.I have some "basic" animation for his attack, but im not sure how to get it to work correctley.What happens is, if you press control (the attack button) whilst the character is walking he just keeps moving and is stopped on the attack frame.I want the character to stop moving if the attack is pressed and once it is released start moving again.

what i have is a tween on a movie clip of a popcorn kernel on one layer and a tween on a button on another layer to follow the movie clip. i want to be able to roll over the kernel and make it "pop". i changed my over on the button to popped corn (this works) but i want it to stay popped for the rest of the tween.

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.

the loop starts at 0 and not 1 so the loop ends at 6 does any one know how to resolve this issue?? its so that what ever number dayVal is it will be rounded up to a number that is Divisble by 7 .
Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function. Currently, it's set up to increment blank_mc._y by whatever value is returned by [j]. But for some reason this doesn't work. I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.

wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a pause within a 'for loop' before it runs through the next loop? heres the script i've built up so far, i'm running off other variables and arrays to pull in the logos and the animating in is working fine except that they all run in at the same time, basically what i want is that they would run one after the other with a 5 second gap between them..[code]so i did that and put wait(delay); after the var boxcounter=2; in each of the If statements.. but no luck... can anyone shed any light? or suggest a way it get it to hold for a few seconds before running though the loop again? or am i going about this in completely the wrong way??!

i can fully see how things work up until i hit the FOR LOOP EVALUATION: child !=null at that point the loop is broken and the trace statements with xxxxx and yyyy come into play but why is there 4 lots of x and y traces? if the loop is broken and child = null which it does why does the statement carry on 4 more times - should it not just return? i understand that the update part of the for loop will execute only at the end of the loop but this still does not show why it should carry on like this?

I have a main MovieClip in which I have several frame labels, each will eventually have different MovieClips associated with them. First time through I want to play an "intro" MovieClip, which I have placed on the stage at the begining of the main timeline, then at the end of the "intro" Clip, go to the first frame label and play that MovieClip.
The way I was going about it was placing this code in the last frame of the "intro" MovieClip:
Code:
MovieClip(parent).screen_mc.gotoAndPlay("home");
'screen_mc' is the instance name of the Main MovieClip.
