Actionscript 3.0 :: Moving A Movieclip As Text Is Typed?
Mar 17, 2010
I need to advance a movie clip onto the stage (that will look like a strip of paper) as the user types in a message from my text input window.Right now I am using this code to display the typed text on the paper, but I need it to look like a printer is pushing it out as the user types in the message and limit it to 50 characters.
import flash.events.*
input1_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, textInput);
function textInput(e:Event) {

I am trying to add text to a moving movie clip. So what I have done is double clicked on the movie clip to go into it. I then added an actions layer and added this code.
var tf1:TextField;
function fontLoaded1(e:Event) {
tf1 = new TextField();
tf1.width=100;
tf1.height=60;
tf1.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
[Code] .....
As of yet, nothing is displaying on the movieclip. I don't get any errors. I have used the this keyword aswell, but still nothing.

I am using bulkLoader to load dozens of SWFs into my Flex app, and all of SWFs are static (1 frame only). 'Everything' works fine, however, I'm not sure how to handle data from bulkLoader... I am getting MovieClip types for all of my SWFs, and I am not sure how to tell to Image or SWFLoader classes to use some of those MovieClips as source.

I'm using AS 2.0 and experimenting. I've got one main movie, with buttons at the top, each button loading a movie into a common movie clip...there are nine buttons/movies in all.Here's my problem. The nine movies have some common elements which seem perfect to put in a shared library. The sharing works, but when I plug the shared elements (either backgrounds or buttons) into the movies:1. Any text typed in Flash disappears (the text is Classic and Static), and;2. The buttons lose their "button" properties. Hyperlinks/AS coding will not work on them. I've made sure the buttons have an instance name. I even tried creating invisible buttons on a layer above the library-linked buttons (having the latter just for show), but strangely, the invisible button, when placed directly above the library-linked button, doesn't work either.

I want to change the code a little bit by creating an Input Text. A random number will be typed in that text instead of having a fixed, pre-set number.

I have a movieclip (named "checklist")with a great number of input text boxes in it. This clip is used early in the my movie (frame 1) and again at frames 20 and 30. The problem is that in the later frames the information the user typed in the first frame is no longer there. Now I could use the var parameter and set it to _root for all of the boxes, but I've been told that the var parameter is a bad way to go. Rather, I should use the name option instead, i.e. "myText_txt". I tried experimenting with objects, but I am not a programmer and so I am probably doing this wrong.
[Code]....
So, I am looking for a best practice. Should I just use the var parameter? That way all of the text fields update when the movie hits frames 20 and 30.

I am trying to make a feed backbox for visitors on my website. I have made the editable text field and scroll bar and set all of my preferences, but when the typing reaches the border on the right of the text field it just continues to type further horizontaly. I can start a new line by pressing enter but I would like it to start a new line on its own when it reaches the boundary.

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.

Im currently making a game that has one of those old-skool Fallout maps (a world map where you click somewhere and the "you" marker moves there) that im trying to replicate.I already have the scripts ready for map interaction (using onhit here). But i was wondering if someone could help me with a script that works this way:
1. I have a movieclip (the character)
2. When i click somewhere on the map i want this movieclip to move there. Not instantly but moving over the screen to that point where you clicked.
3. I also want there to be passages that when the movieclip hit that movieclip (named hit for example) it stops dead and doesn't move (will be used on the map for mountains and such) and the player has to click somewhere else to move it that path (im assuming this will be something like onhit: hit - speed=0 something but im not a good scripter and it would had to be worked into the script.
4. ok this one is kinda optional but would be great! If it's possible to have it worked in the script that when the clip doesn't move (and is stationary on the map) the movieclip stays on frame 1 but when the movieclip is in motion (and moving across the screen) the movieclip is on frame 2 (and reverts to frame 1 when it's not moving anymore and so no)

I have a movieclip that I want to move down and up.I use a new tween using the Elastic. easeOut property to move the movieclip down over a duration of 2 seconds.But right after it moves down I need to move it right back up so it looks like a uniform animation.I used setInterval(reverse,2000) and reverse contains yoyo();This almost works.Since Elastic slows down the movement of the movieclip at the very end, there seems to be a pause between the movieclip moving down and the movieclip moving up.It does not give the impression that it is 1 tween, which is what I was going for.I tried to set the duration to less than 2 seconds, but then Elastic property is not 'stretchy'.It is too fast and comes to a halt, not elastic, and then the reverse (when the movieclip goes back up) is much faster than when the movieclip goes down.Is it possible to move the movieclip down AND up by using just 1 "new tween" function?

I have a movieclip that I am moving behind a mask to achieve a panning effect. I am able to move my movie clip onRollOver and stop onRollOut. So far so good, except that I have no boundaries or margins on my movie clip so when I keep my mouse on my button, my movieclip continues to move indefinitely forever. Can someone please tell me how to set boundaries on the left and right or how to limit the scrolling to an X -1000 and X +1000?

Basically I need to have a cartoon character walking to the right hand side of the screen and then turning around and moving back to the left hand side and so on.
I have some code done but it could be all wrong as I am not the best coder at all, just starting out.
Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import classes.RollableChar;
public class MainApp2 extends MovieClip{
//public var theCharacter:MovieClip;

I'm exploring menu's in flash and I'm currently trying to put together a thumbnail menu where thumbnails are contained in a Parent MovieClip.I want to then be able to move that movieclip along the stage (to the left or right, depending on the keyboard key pressed)..I know I can do this using this code, when the Parent MovieClip
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, myKeyDown);function myKeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT){my_mc.x -=125; }

In my attempt to create a simple Pong-like game, I've encountered a very strange and at times severe visual bug.When I set the ball (A Flash CS 5.5 library MovieClip) in motion moving around the screen at a rather fast speed, I've noticed that sometimes the edges of the ball would be cut-off for a short moment in the direction it is moving.
When it happens, it almost seems like the position of the ball MovieClip is slightly ahead of its own border and thus the part that is outside the border fails to get drawn.
Here's a picture that illustrates how this looks - at least for me:
You can also view the .swf file online here: [URL]
Some technical data:
I've been unsuccessful in capturing the with a screenshot no matter how much I tried. Sometimes I would open the .swf and the bug would be almost non-existent while at other times it was very blatant. I'm using an EnterFrame event function to increment / decrement the x and y position of the MovieClip. I have never encountered any such problem in any Flash app, in this machine or others. Truncating / rounding the x and y values of the MovieClip didn't help. Neither did setting cacheAsBitmap to true.

On the main timeline I've got solar_mc also On the main timeline I've got planet_mc and inside planet_mc I've got pluto_mc.. In pluto_mc. the actionscripts are writen to display text info, change colors, mouseovers, etc... My problem is the actionscript written in pluto_mc makes moon_mc, crib_mc and hale_mc on the main timeline function (changing it's colours, information, etc...). But I need to move moon_mc, crib_mc and hale_mc to solar_mc. When I do so the pluto_mc action script does not work! How can I put moon_mc, crib_mc and hale_mc in to one mc (solar_mc) and still make the actionscript in pluto_mc work? I've used the _root. command in the script pluto_mc..

I've boiled this down as simple as I can make it. When I click on the down movie clip (which is inside the MC movieclip) it does indeed move the MC movieclip down 20. However, I need it to also move the "enemy" movieclip down. When I try running this I don't get any compile errors but when I click on the "down" and the MC moves down I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm currently working on a GUI design and for the options, instead of a slider I want a movie clip that fills 5 boxes or empties the boxes when i hit the plus or minus buttons I've made. I created a movie clip called bars which has 6 frames. Then I made an addbar button and a subbar button. I then created a movieclip with all three items inside of it called gauge. I set the actionscript to the gauge movie clip. This is what code I have in currently. When I play the swf the boxes remains empty and will not move through the movie clip of bars like I want.

I have function for moving the movieclip but I would like to add boundary for it. And another thing is that the movieclip contains a textfield for receiving the text input from the user so I have the autoSize=true for the textfield. Then I wonder how to modify the code so that when the movieclip exist the boundary, it couldn't move any more?

I use the following function to move a mc to a certain y position. When that y position is reached the mc goes back to it's original position:
Code:
function moveInOut (clip, yPos, speed){
var yStart = clip._y ;
var yTarget = yPos;
clip.onEnterFrame = function (){
var dY= yTarget - this._y;
[Code] .....
But I don't want the mc going back to it's original position but to a completely different y position to create kind of a bounce effectHow to accomplish that?

I have a game where the FPS are calculated on an On Enter Frame event...
and I have another event that listens for key presses (other for mouse events... but all are disabled...)
And I have game tiles loaded onto a movieclip in the following order.[code]...
I tried cacheAsBitmap... and nothing... I would post the code, but with all the stuff inbetween it... it's like 700 lines long.... i'm giving a general over view... Is the problem based on the fact that I'm using the flex canvas to work off of?? Is there any way I can do my own 'canvas' like mc... that falls under the canvas, and before all the GUI? I tried adding children to the canvas and it didn't work.
