Actionscript 3.0 :: Tracking A Movieclip's X Coordinate?
May 11, 2010
I am currently in the process of creating a scroller that would take in movieclips comprised of images and video. It will continually scroll to the left, and the animations and video will play at a certain point on the stage.
The problem I am encountering right now is how to place the movieclips on the scroller. my first thought was place them in the actual movieclip, but then you can't access them on stage.
My second thought was to assign their x coordinate to a certain part of the scroller and just increment the x coordinate with the same system to make it look like it was attached. The only problem with that is I would need to track the scroller's x coordinate so I would know when it gets to the middle of the stage (so I could play the video inside of the smaller movieclip at that location.)
track a movieclip's x coordinate like that? could I run through it and trace, and then act on that trace? I'm so confused.
Will my first attempt at this work? Is it somehow possible to access movieclips within a bigger movieclip and treat them as if they were on stage?

but i cant be doing this for all 12 movieclips so have source for help and did this:
var bowlList:Array = [ball1,ball2,ball3,ball4,ball5,ball6,ball7, ball8,ball9,ball10,ball11,ball12];function movestones(bowlIndex) { var numStones = bowlList[bowlIndex]._currentframe-1; for (;numStones>0;numStones--) { //place stone }}s_1.onPress = function(){ movestones(0); }

How to track the no. of balls inside my movieclip (ball7)? And put as dynamic text (winner_txt)?
Inside my movieclip has no layer, ball layer.
No layer: each individual one frame is labelled "0b", "1b" and continues..
Ball layer: first frame empty, 2nd frame 1 ball, 3rd frame 2 ball.. and continues..
Tried using:
var no = _root.ball7_mc._currentframe
_root.winner_txt = Number(no);

I've set up an associative array and then loop through each object in the array to animate it.Later on, however,I have a function that will manipulate these objects.How do I set up a command in the loop that will track the location of each object for later use in the next function, as each of the objects will continue to move around the stage until user presses key to send them to another location? (the final location for the tween is known, but not it's original location as it's free to move around until the tween function is activate).I'm looking into getChildIndex, but can't find enough info to understand how this works and whether it's what I need.

I have a series of dots on a world map that depending on certain criteria move from one country to another. At the moment they move to a random point around the country's (mc) centre, as calculated by addind half the width to the x or y coordinate etc. This pressents certain problems such as the centre of the US is actually outside the boundries of the countries borders because of Alaska. Other countries such as the UK have dots floating just off the coast. The dots also cluster coveringing each other up.
Is it posible to generate a random x and y coordinate that is inside the boundries of an irregular shaped mc such as a country. I know that Flash must have these values because of colision detection and mouse overs. I just don't know how you go about accessing them.

Is there a code that will flip a MovieClip horizontally (e.g mirror image) when the mouse moves over a certain x-coordinate.For example, we'll say the movieclip is called "man" .When the mouse is on the left side of the man, the man faces right. However when the mouse is on the right side of the man, he now faces left. Of more simply, he 'flips over' when the mouse changes sides.Is there an actionscript code to tell the movieclip to do this or do i have to manyally free transform the movieclip?

there will be a simple solution to my problem. I have an onEnterFrame event that happens when I am dragging a wheel. At a certain point during dragging, a boolean statement is set to true, and a mc with 120 (120*3=360) frames is targeted, so that when the user drags a wheel, if rotation is incremented +/-3, the mc._currentframe is +/- one frame.
the mc is 120 slices serving as a mask of a circular bar, which is hidden or exposed depending on the rotation of the wheel by the user. The problem I have is tracking when the rotation has incremented by +/- 3, since Im using onEnterFrame I cant find out how to store the rotation variable somewhere when it hits the +/-3 mark, and then continuly check for the next increment. Here is the code :

I was wondering if there is a way in CS4, some option that you could turn on that when your program runs it'd walk you line by line through every code before it's executed and only execute it when you pressed a key such as Enter. There's gotta be a way to debug rather than constantly using the trace() command.

I've integrated Google Analytics with Flash before using the previous tracker:
Code:
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">[code]...........
PS - Google Analytics is installed properly, as it is registering the index page.
PPS - THis was set up over a week ago, so should be good to go.

I'm making a Flash piece consisting of a few different pages and clicks to take you to different chapters. The company I'm making it for have sent me URL's of pages that will track the person on it - what page they're on, what chapters they view etc.
So, where do I put these url's?If I put them in a getURL won't that just redirect the person away from the page with the SWF in it?

I have this flash application that opens a socket connection with a server. What I need to do is to read packets sent and received byt he application to write a sort of "history" ( in WIndows). Now, questions are: How is the simplest way to do it? Application hooking? Load the flash application in my application and take control over it? No packet sniffing allowed. Is it possible to do it in C++, or you think it's better to use another programming language? My first choice was java, but it seems that do it is troublesome...

There are cases where shipping javascript code with your flash video is not an option. One of these cases is when you've bought space on a website to place your ad banner. In those cases I want to use the 1x1 pixel image tracking method on Google Analytics or Yahoo Web Analytics to track the amount of views on my banner.I have heard that flash blocks any attempt to load data from a third party host (frankly I don't see why they would do that) which presents a problem. I would love a solution.I can picture several methods and their downsides.I could host the banner on my own server, counting the downloads. Unfortunately this would prove to be a tremendous load on my server when possibly millions of downloads would happen per day.
I could write a PHP script, hosting it on my own server, that when requested tracks a page view in GA or YWA. I could place a crossdomain.xml file on my server allowing the flash banner to request my script using a Loader. Unfortunately, the problem of server load still exists as my private server probably can't handle millions of requests per day.Possible solutions are other tracking hosts that allow for flash cross domain file requests, or perhaps a method I haven't thought of.The challenge here is to be able to track the number of views on a flash video without using any javascript. The problem is the sheer amount of load this would put on my own servers if I were to track using my server as a proxy. The best solution would be a tracking service using crossdomain.xml

I am constructing a navigation that uses mouse-tracking. I'd like for the object (the gray rectangle) to disappear when the mouse moves off of it.
I have the following actionscript on the movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.xChange = Math.round(_root._xmouse-this._x);
_root.xMove = Math.round(_root.xChange/5);
this._x += _root.xMove;
}
If you look at my reference, I'd like the gray arrowed-rectangle to only appear when the mouse is inside the lighter gray rectangle (the navigation bar). When a user mouses outside of that area, the gray arrowed-rectangle will disappear.Perhaps we have to set an area where the mouse will load the movie clip and an area that will unload the movie clip?

My problem is that the currentFrame given always happens to be the first frame of the flash, because I have the code starting on the first frame, even though the code is throughout the flash.
How can I modify this code so that on click, it actually gets the currentFrame rather than the first?

I want to record to a XML document everytime a user loads a .swf. Simply just increase the number in the XML document by 1. The issue tho is i'm limited to the server side scripting thats available. No asp, no php, only JSP. Client side scripting(javascript,etc) would be perfectly acceptable as well.Is actionscript capable of writing to a xml file and producing the results i'm aiming for?
