Actionscript 3.0 :: Programmatically Assign A Loader + URL Request To Each Of The Created Movie Clip Buttons
Jan 20, 2009
I know this should be do-able, but i am stumped... I created a row of movie clip buttons + eventListeners (CLICK) with a for-loop. i now want to take an array that consists of a list of swfs (i.e., var myArray:Array=new Array(); myArray=["thing.swf","dog.swf",more.swf",etc}--and programmatically assign a loader + URL request to each of the created movie clip buttons that will load the swfs on the button click.
I am trying to add action script 2.0 to a slider that i created using http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm that slides a movie clip that is a timeline from left to right. In the timeline are (i)More... buttons that will reveal more information. I just need to know how to integrate the timeline into the code using as2 to make it slide when the slider is dragged..
This is the action script that I have on the slider movie clip as stated in the above tutorial. But this is ALL the action script I have on EVERYTHING..... I know I need more to make it pan the timeline but I dont know how to do it.
[Code]...
I really could just use a good tutorial that shows me how to link the image that im sliding to the slider bar. When the slider is moved to the right... the image flows left.... toward the end of the timeline. When the slider is all the way right. The end of the timeline is shown. The timeline is bigger than the stage so the slider is on a line with years on it.
I am trying to use the duplicateMovieClip event to create a row of custom movie clips dynamically and I would like to be able to set the _alpha properties on each object depending on an event i am firing in a different movie.[code]...
I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.
Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
Is there a way to set the registration point of a movie clip programmatically in actionscript? I want to be able to use createEmptyMovieClip(...) and then set the registration point to the center of the clip in order to do a symmetrical rotation.
with the gallery still present i want a movie clip to appear ON TOP of this.
How is this done? i understand i need to set the z level but cannot find a simple explanation of how to do it. I do not want the image to be transparent (i've found lots of explanation on how to do this!)
I've got 5 movie clip buttons.� When a user rolls over a button, I want one movie clip to play. When a user clicks on that button, an alternate movie clip plays. I'm trying to use an array to assign certain movie clips to certain buttons and actions, but I'm not doing something quite right. I can get one button to work correctly, but then am having issues getting the other buttons to work. � Here is the code I have: � var currentPage:MovieClip; var currentScreen:MovieClip; var prevPage:MovieClip;
If you have a movie clip and assign to it via the onClipEvent (Load) OR simply the movieclip.onLoad a whole bunch of data (properties of that movieclip):
When you duplicate that movieclip, does it duplicate all the actionscript contained within? I'm thinking it does, but I am wondering if someone can confirm... and explain.
here is my issue, so i have a main page with a slideOut movieclip which basically is a movie clip button and the "over" state sends a tray out of the movie clip with info and anothe rmovie clip button. i cant seem to get that movie clip button to root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel");i have the actionscript on the same frame as the movie clip i need to act as a button. but it just doesnt seem to react to it.i have tried going to the main timeline and doing
Is it possible to add a child state to a movie clip that is already placed on stage,i need to do this so i can move the movieclip to the top of the display list.
Below code is used to read a file in the disk and upload as 1MB chunks to a php server via adobe AIR application.It iterates the do/while loop till the end of the file and uploading part is handled by function getConnection. The servers returns an XML as the response.With the eventListnters currently it goes to fuction onRequestComplete when it recieves the response. Because of that issue current code exits the loop when it receives the response from the server.Is there any way that I can get the responce of the request send by the function getConnection when it calling inside function startUpload ? also hw can I define the request timeout for this single requests?
private function startUpload():void { var localFilePath:String =localFilesToUpload[currentUploadedVideoIndex].file.nativePath; var filePathArray = localFilePath.split("/");[code]......
I'm trying to create a combobox inside a package and add it to the stage later on. However, I'm getting the following error when I try to click on the combobox: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. Here is the package for the combobox:
I'm having some issues getting a button to work from ctionScript.I created a movie clip and export it.� Added it to stage and that displayed fine.� I then added some text on the movie clip, converted it to a button and exported it... but then hit a wall.� The button is in the library, but it doesn't like the ' import fl.controls.Button;' � Here's the code: package{� import flash.display.*;� import flash.events.*; import fl.controls.Button;� public class coffeeAS extends
I have an XML file that I am pulling thumbnails from. I would like these thumbnails to be links, but for some reason onRelease does not work on my movie clip created with createEmptyMovieClip.
I have this theory that my onRelease function is being called before my thumbnail image is fully loaded, but I may be completely wrong. Here is some example code of what I am trying to do.
here what i wanted to say i have created sq_thumb movie clip. then i linkage sq_thumb with class name "thumb". then i double click sq_thumb in the library to go to inside sq_thumb timeline. then i write following code
I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.
So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.
Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.
I am having trouble targeting a movie clip that was dynamically generated from information in an XML document. Basically, what I want to do is be able to manipulate the movie clip after it was generated by the initial function. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to properly target the clip even though I am pretty sure I have the proper title and location (tried both _root. and _level0.).[URL]the string at the bottom - "_level0.mc_image2" - is the name of the last movie clip (with an image inside) to the right.
I have got a movie clip that is dynamically created with actionscript I then load an external swf into that movieclip. My problem is having it centered when I view it in my browser..How do place I center that dynamic created movie clip? I was trying this but it's not seeming to work.
Code:
var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", 0); container._x =Stage.width/2; container._y =Stage.height/2;

I've put the files I am working with online for reference:[URL]
If you load the swf [URL] ) the string at the bottom - "_level0.mc_image2" - is the name of the last movie clip (with an image inside) to the right.
Also, if you look at the code, you'll see this is a modification of the portfolio from: [URL]
I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
What is different betwen URLLoader and URLRequest? and what are their function? i have read language reference for actionscript3 from [URL] but it makes me confusing.
