ActionScript 3.0 :: Placing Array Elements Or Multiple Objects To The Stage?

Oct 28, 2009

Does one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?

For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:

myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;

What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.

Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A Jpg And Placing It On The Stage Twice

Jan 27, 2009

I am trying to import an image and then place the image in two spots on the stage. This is the code I'm using:[code]My problem is rather than placing two instances of the image on the stage, the code above places one image with an x coordinate of 300 and a y coordinate of 0.I thought the code above would place two images. One at point (0,0) and the other at point (300,0).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Detect Multiple Overlapping MovieClips?

Jul 5, 2010

Is it possible to detect multiple overlapping movie clips and subsequently telling the user which clips s/he has moused over? Basically, I'd like to have a set of movie clips that are in different shapes overlapping each other (ie, a set of letters...A, B, C), and when the user mouses over a certain area, only A & C would be revealed (if they are being moused-over) but not B. Basic Listener/MouseOver tests seem to only show the top most clip, rather than others below it.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Placing An Array Of Objects Onto Stage?

May 30, 2010

I am trying to place an array of objects onto a stage where they drop vertically. I have been able to do it by placing the array objects into an object called "bag" but have found that the bag object only contains the last array object id so I can not apply actions to various array objects. Also my objects do not loop and only appear once.
 
Below is the code so far.
 
var tempArray:Array = new Array(); // Stores randomised values
var bagArray:Array = new Array("gslow_id","gshigh_id","glow_id","ghigh_id","gdiv_id",

ActionScript 3.0 :: Placing Movie Clips On The Stage?

Feb 14, 2010

I'm using AS3 to place movieclips onto Flash's stage...

The code I have looks something like this:

Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

[Code].....

Currently when the player moves their cursor over the movie clips that AS3 is placing on the stage, they disappear. However the movie clip is not actually removed from the stage, it simply plays to a blank frame in its timeline to give this illusion. How do I tell Flash to remove the movie clip from the stage rather than just give the illusion that it is gone?

When the player moves their cursor over the movie clips that AS3 is placing, I want the movie clip that is attached to the cursor to gotoAndPlay certain frames of its timeline.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Generating Multiple Circles - Overlapping Transparency?

Jan 17, 2010

I have a program that generates multiple circles that need to be semi-transparent (50% alpha). The circles will overlap in places, and I need those overlapping areas to continue to be 50% transparent. Obviously the default behavior is for the overlapped areas to become nore than 50%. I have tried putting these circles in a container together and setting that containers alpha to 50%, but the default behavior still exists.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Placing MovieClip On Stage Like List Of Buttons

Oct 15, 2004

I used attachMovie to load a movieclip from the library into the stage. And in the movieclip, it has another movieclip named "imageHolder". As I wanted the movieclip to be placed on the stage like a list of buttons. The code goes as follows:

for(var i=0; i < 5; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("menuBtn", "menuItem" + i, 0);
_root["menuItem" + i]._x = 150;
_root["menuItem" + i]._y = 150 + setHeight * _root["menuBtn" + i]._height;
_root["menuItem" + i].imageHolder = loadMovie("something.jpg" , "imageHolder");
}

But the something.jpg doesn't appeared when I test the movie. And something.jpg is in the same directory as the .fla file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Position MovieClips On Stage Without Overlapping?

Nov 15, 2010

I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?

Actionscript 3 :: Streaming Audio In Flash Is Playing Multiple Times, Overlapping?

Sep 13, 2011

The following AS3 code is sometimes causing the audio to play multiple times, almost simultaneously like a crazy echo. It usually works ok with that URL but when I use a [URL]... it always freaks out. On rare occasions I think the issue has happened with local files even. I copied this code from somewhere else so I don't entirely understand it. Do you see a problem with this implementation or is Flash just crazy?

Flash :: Using An External Class With Multiple Frames On The Timeline And Multiple Stage Placed Buttons

Sep 21, 2010

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.

Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

Flash :: Using Stage.numChildren And Other Stage Methods When Using Multiple Components

Oct 18, 2011

I created a custom textfield component that I need multiples of in a single swf. I also created a non-visual wrapper component to manage them. I am sending info from the textfields to wrapper. I was planning on using the child index to associate the info with the right component. The problem occurs when I have two instances of the textfield component and one of the wrapper on stage and I use stage.numChildren and it returns 1.

Moving Multiple Layers To Top Of The Stage?

Aug 13, 2009

I purchased a flash home page template that had menu buttons at the top that I decided not to use. I removed the buttons, but now there is a 125 pixel blank horixontal space at the top of the stage. I tried resizing the horizontal size of the stage hoping the artwork would move up and eliminate the blank area, but the stage sizes from the bottom up. The layers get cutoff at the bottom and the blank space is still at the top.

The movie is quite complex with many layers and 450+ frames. Have attached the swf file to illustrate how the top of the stage is empty after I removed the menu buttons. Is there any way to get all of the layers to move up by 125 pixels so that they fill in the blank space without having to do each layer one at a time?

AS3 :: Flash - Add Multiple Buttons To Stage With Eventlistener?

Feb 3, 2010

I've got as far as adding multiple buttons to the stage with AS3 and giving them unique instance names, but now I have a problem. There is no limit on the amount of buttons that could be present, there could be one or one hundred so I can't hard code.

How would I go about creating event listeners for each button? I tried pushing each instance name into an array then looping through but that gave me an error about how the buttons didn't exist, so it can't listen.
