Multiple Instances Of Movieclips Working With AS3?
Jul 9, 2009
I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);

I have Multiple movieclips that when you hover over, a info box pops up and stays active until the mouse is moved away from the info box. Simple enough. I have multiple movieclips and i cannot get more than one to work. In order for the movieclip to work the instance name is 'mc' and this is the code i am using:

I am loading an swf created in flash professional cs5 via the loader class into a flex 4.1 application. The flash file contains multiple movieclips that are exported for actionscript and those movieclips exist in many instances throughout the movie.
Iterating through everything, comparing class types seems to be the most easy but also the most redundant way to solve this. Is there any way of using the class name as a kind of global selector to access the clips?
I could also make the sub-clips in the flash listen for an event on which they perform an action, but I am not really sure what might be best.

I have to make a photo album, so I'm creating a container mc for a single pic.Inside it I have an empty mc where i'll "loadMovie" the pic jpg, a simple animated gif serving as a preloader and a dynamic text to load the pic title from a XML file.Then I tween the container.pic and the container.preloader.The problem come when I have multiple instances of container, because my function only works for the last created instance.
ActionScript Code:
preloaderTween(container.preload, _alpha, 0, 100);
on finished {
[code]....
Is there a simple way to "separate" the instances of the same mc?I've also tried to put the instances on different layers, but it doesn't work.

I am working on a project which looks like a crossword puzzle. When you mouse over on the white boxes they will light up. When you mouse over the letters they will have 3d rotations and when you rollover only some specific letters, they will flip some specific boxes.
Right now what happens is, when you mouse over the boxes with letters on them, the letters will rotate but the box will not light up. This is because I have created the box movieclip, with the invisible button inside it, and then just duplicated it in my scene to create a tile. But the invisible button for the letters are on the scene,so it's kinda overriding it.when I tried having the buttons on the scene rather than inside the movie clip, what happened is when you roll over one of the boxes, all of them will animate.

I'm very new to Adobe Flash CS5.5. Can you create a common instance EG: "Enemy" and then control it like so:
Enemy.x += 1;
So that all instances of Enemy will move forward one pixel each frame? Instead of just one enemy? If this is not possible could I set up some sort of array of enemies like you can in C and try something like:
int EnemyNo = 1;
for(EnemyNo = 1; EnemyNo < 5; EnemyNo++) {
Enemy[EnemyNo].x += 1;
}
Does Flash even support "for" loops?

Ok so here is my XML slideshow Actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?

the user needs to select an answer from a dropdown list. I am then creating an array that will store the answer to each question when the user clicks the submit button. Each of the drop down menus is named sequentially. So what I am trying to do is write a while loop that will increment through and read each of the values into the array so I can process the responses later. The issue that I am having is writing the syntax to recognize the Instance name of the specific drop down I am trying to reference.
Here is the basic code I am using:
var Store:Array = new Array(2);
public var Increment:Number;
Increment = 1;
[code]....
So the DropDowns instance names are DropDown1, DropDown2 etc... It works fine if I manually enter in each instance name (but there are 43 total and I don't want to do each one individually).
I am assuming that I need to setup some sort of variable to temporarily add the increment number to the "DropDown" and then use that as the reference:
Increment = 1;
while (Increment <=2){
ItemNumber = "DropDown" + Increment;
Store[Increment] = MovieClip(Scroller2.Form_Scroller.content).ItemNumber.value;
trace(Store);
Increment++;
}
But when I do that, I get the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at combotest/submitted()
I assume this is because it is looking for an instance of ItemNumber instead of the instance of the value of ItemNumber.

Supose I have a MovieClip called Egg and I have a lot of Egg instances with unique names (required) or without names.What if I need to write a code who break all these eggs refering to the Main object in Library? Instead to add code for every egg with every name in the Stage.

I'm trying to add an instance of a MovieClip inside an array. Inside the House Class is a property called HouseObjects. Inside that array, I created a Comp and a Light class. MovieClips are dynamically placed on the stage, via linkage. The MovieClips also act as "toggle buttons." If the button state is ON, value is 1. If the button state if OFF, value is 0.
If the value is 1, I am trying to add MovieClip instance inside the onList Array. Inside that array will be all the instances that have a button state ON.
I created a property called objSelect.
var objSelect:Object;
That variable holds the currentTarget selected. I'm trying to pass it to function trackItems to either push/pop it in the onList array, based on the button status.
I receive an error for this line:
onList.pop(objSelect);
Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
public class House extends MovieClip
{

I have a bunch of movie clips on a layer named s1, s2, s3, .. s16.
I need to add them to an array so that I can select a random number to play.
Something like:
var sparkle:Array = new Array();
var i:int = new int;
for(i=0;i=16;i++)
{
sparkle[i] = 's'+i;

I was wondering, sometimes i get confused from which point in a movieclip to indentify another movie clip. I was wondering if this would work lets say i have a series of movieclips with these instances in each other
mc being the top most movieclip
mc>mc1>mc2>mc3>mc4 now lets say my code is in mc4 and i want to indentify mc1. Could i do this?
Code:_root.mc.mc1 I have no idea how to use the "parent" reference tag from that deep within a movie clip. Is "_root" a good method to use? Will it work? even though its being stated from with that movieclip?

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

i'm creating an application using AS3.0 and class files. in this application i have a MovieClip in the library i'm using that contains several symbols and configurable textfields and have already defined the functionality for these symbols. my question is, if i'm creating an application and through actionscript and i'm spawning instances of a symbol, do i have to define the functionality and initialize this symbol in the main application class?
specifics: i'm creating a panorama app with markers that are papervision3d planes. they use a movieClip texture that i've created and i want to configure textfields and display pictures that describe the info in the marker. i created a panoApp.as class file that configures the panorama. but i also have a marker.as class that defines the symbol's behavior. this movieclip has symbols in it it's stage that i've defined (ie: name_textfield, description_textfield, etc..) when i compile the project, the compiler errors saying that the variables/identified internal symbols are missing.

I have a row of buttons within a container, all with instance names. When one of the buttons is clicked and using a switch statement, I want to navigate to a timeline frame and stop to display the desired page. Could someone provide an example of AS code?
The ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components reference is great but there still is a lot missing in the process of coding in AS.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

In AS3, how can you access a relative variable within a specific movieclip on the stage?I have a test file that changes the variable "myVar" in one of the displayobject movieclips drawn on the stage. I want to simply trace the current value of this displayobject's myVar for additional purposes.In AS2, you would achieve this by calling the instance name and then the variable contained within.Assuming 3 movieclips existed on the stage named Container1¯, Container2¯ and Cotainer3¯trace(_root.myContainer2.myVar);// returns Hello which is value of variable "myVar" within the movieclip instance named "Container2".How would you do this in AS3?[code]

As you can see, after all the items in the Carousel have loaded, a function called fadeItemIn() is called which displays each of them one by one. I am looking to call a small "swoosh" particle effect flv I made in AfterEffects so that as each item tweens in, it instead looks like it is sparkling in from the left.
The problem I have is that using the code below, the swoosh.flv file tends to freeze before it finishes. In this case the swooshIn() function is called three times because there are three items being loaded into the Carousel.
I am wondering why the FLV freezes when multiple instances of it are loaded through AS3 using NetStream.
Code:
private function fadeItemIn(item:CarouselItem):void {
trace("fadeItemIn");
this.tweens.push(new Tween(item, "altitude", Regular.easeOut, item.altitude, 2.5, 0.50, true));

I have a Hero that can shoot bullets. I can get him to shoot multiple bullets, all with equal velocity. The bullets are supposed to be peas from a pea shooter, so I want to apply friction and gravity to them so they slow down and fall. I'd also like them to bounce of objects too.At the moment I'm just applying friction, so the peas should be shot forward, and then gradually come to a halt in the air. The problem I'm having is that if I apply friction to one pea, it generates the next one at the velocity that the 1st one is currently at - that is, the second pea starts out slow, and stops very quickly. The 3rd one is generated not moving.
How can I set the velocity to reset for each pea, so they all start out equal? They all move with the same properties, so I want to deal with them all in one arrray/loop. Is this possible?I have posted the basic structure without any velocity or anything specified because I'm not sure where everything should go. If I specify a starting velocity in the document class and then use the for loop to apply friction, it changes the velocity of every pea. The Pea class just contains functions to draw the pea.
Code:
public function bullets(event:Event):void {
if (s==20 && PandaHero.currentFrame==13) {

I am trying to create several texts with animation on mouseover (basically animated menu).
Steps followed: created text, converted to movie clip (m_text), put a stop() in first frame added animation movie clip in second frame, which is played on mouseover (added onrollover function AS2.0)
It works fine. Now I tried to create multiple instances of this m_text, tried to change the text. But it changes in all instances.
If I try to create multiple instances of text only, then I will have to repeat the procedure of adding frames, adding animation clip, add AS for mouseover etc for each of them.
All I am trying to do is create one text with animation on mouseover, copy paste it several times and change only the text for each of them.
