IDE :: Create A New Movieclip Instance Of Letter1 Onto The Stage?
Mar 4, 2009
i am trying to create a new movieclip instance of Letter1 onto the stage,at the moment if i put
Code:
mc = new Letter1();
it does this, but i want to increase the number so i created a number var called letterDrop, as you can see below i tried to create a new mc using this but it doesnt seem to work, when i trace it i get Letter1 but when i try create it i get the error Letter1
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at flashgame_fla::MainTimeline/gameEngine()
I want to be able to create a movie clip on the fly, inside another movie clip, not duplicate, but create an instance of a clip that only exists in the library. The movie clip that the new clip must be created in is going to have a loadMovie already applied to it, so anything existing in it will be removed. I need a way to insert a clip from the library into this parent mc. I tried attachMovie() but its not seeming to work.
1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
if (myPlatform.hitTestPoint(x,y,true)) { // if a platform is hit trace("hitME"); y--; tGravity = 0; // reset break; }
Here's the error that I get:
1120: Access of undefined property myPlatform
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1.I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable?
I'm trying to write code that will dynamically add a falling leaf to a tree sprite every so-odd frames. But try as I might, I can't get the little retard to appear.[code]...
I have created a movie clip on the stage and in symbol properties I have checked "Export for ActionScrip" the MC name is "slide" and the class is "slide" base class is flash.display.MovieClip.
When I test the movie I get this error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Here is my code: PHP Code: var slide = getChildByName("slide"); //add instance from library? function slideRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void { // trace("OK"); } slide.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, slideRollOver);
I am trying to learn ActionScript 3. I have a MovieClip called Ship in the library and have made class of it called ship. The Ship movieClip glows from Frame 6 to indicate when it crashes into an asteroid.The myShipMovieClip child is controlled by arrow keys and asteroid approaches. The hitTest works but I cant get the ship to glow i.e. from the timeline go to the Ship MovieCli in the library and go to frame 6 to start it to glow. I have managed to do this in ActionScript 2 but have tried for the last few days to try and do it in AS3here is my code :
I have a structure of movieclips, which is something like:
Top Level: My character's collision movieclip, stickman_root
Second Level: On each frame of the top level, the visual part of the character, in a different pose. stickman_stand, stickman_walk, etc
Third level: in each of the poses in the second level, the character itself is built of several smaller movieclips. stickman_head, stickman_torso, stickman_upperarm_l, etc...
So having created this structure, I'd like to be able to use it as a template. I'd like to turn an instance of the toplevel into a new, unique library symbol, and similarly everything under it should also get a new unique symbol, so I can modify those as needed without messing with my template. So that I can take this stickman template, and change the graphics to create someone less stick-ish, while still retaining the skeleton and animations I made. Create unique movieclip tree from an instance?
me only still learning as3, i've checked google there and back, but somehow i can't find the answer for this: how to target a movieclip instance which is already on the stage from within a class file? i mean, targeting it from the document class file is easy, but what is i want to target it from another class file?
i made a custom class where i would like to create x instances of a movieclip. But the following doesn't work:
[Code]...
I keep getting the error: Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 5 1119: Access of possibly undefined property Collector through a reference with static type CustomClass.
I create a new MovieClip, call it Somehow, and link it to the name "MyClip", for example.[code]...
They must be MovieClips, because the functions not only response with hello, like in the example.
So I want to create the Clip copies and call the functions in one step. This example is also not working when i put it inside of a onLoad, or onEnterFrame and so on.
I am using ScrollPane component of as2.0, but I want to move the scrollPane left an right by clicking external button does it possible? this button can work like the functionality of LeftArrow anf RightArrow in scroll pane.
I've been searching around all afternoon, and am pulling my hair out. 1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)
Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :

This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1. I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable? Is there a really easy way to do this with some syntax/command that I have not learned yet?
I have a movieclip instance named 'placeholder' on the canvas, and I want to change the alpha of the named movieclip from it's class without effecting the alpha of all the movieclips of the same type. How would I specifically target the named movieclip instance that is on the canvas?
For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:
I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.
I am trying to make a reference to a movieclip instance that is in another movieclip.
Here's the deal: I have a main timeline for different pages of a website...then within that I make all of the art on each page into a movieclip so I can do animations every time that main timeline frame is called to, yet still keep my main timeline clean.
Within one page's movieclip I have a few buttons that I want to use to go to other pages by referencing them on the main timeline.I have been using this: (home_about is the about us button on my home page, and frame 31 is on the main timeline).
home_about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6); function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6(event:MouseEvent) :void {[code].............
Since this home_about is within another movieclip,I get the access of undefined property error. Do I need to change the code I've pasted above or add in variable definitions to fix this?
I am trying to create an interactive graphic. Basically, it's three squares layered on top of each other, with a large square in back, a medium square centered in the middle of the large square, and a small square in front centered in the middle of the medium square.
When you roll over the medium square, say, it expands to almost the size of the large square and some text fades in, and the small square on top of it fades away. When you roll off of the medium square, it goes back to it's smaller size, and the small square fades back in.
Currently, I have the actionscript in the movieclip to make the medium square get larger and smaller (and the text fade in), but I need to somehow reference the instance of the small square movieclip to hide it when I roll over the medium movieclip.
My actionscript for the medium square activity, currently:
I am getting a stack overflow error when attempting what I believe is a very simple task. I have a class that extends MovieClip and I attempt to add an instance to the stage. WorkSamples is the main class in my fla.
[Code]...
The Sample object does get added to the stage, although it doesn't honor the x & y position I specify. I'm sure I'm failing to comprehend something simple,
What's the best method to put 100 (or 25 or any large number) of movieclip instance on stage & give them all the exact same onRollOver event/function ? Ofcourse with the fewest possible lines of code.
var richiesta:URLRequest = new URLRequest("img/foto1.jpg"); var immagine:Loader = new Loader(); immagine.load(richiesta); addChild(immagine);
Now all works fine but I don't know how to use this image. If I want for exemple change the alpha of this loaded image how to do this? Do i have to make a new instance of it?
I have a movieclip called bg_mc. I don't want bg_mc to show up until I click the btn. When I click the btn it will perform a wipe.Currently I have bg_mc on stage because I need to access its instance name. I can't remember how to create an instance name in AS3.[code]
