Professional :: Flying Bird MovieClip - Creating Multiple Characters
Sep 1, 2010
I've created a flying bird movieclip. Now I just want to make a flock but I don't want to use action script. I can reuse the same movieclip but then they are all identical. They are all flapping their wings at the same time. Which isn't really realistic. And any changes I make to one of them, they all change. What I want to do is say, if I click and drag my bird animation into the stage three times I'll have three flying birds. But now I want to change them individually. For example, have each flapping their wings at different speeds etc. Is this possible?

I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.

I have a picture of an owl I did in Photoshop, I am new to flash but thought it would be easy to make the owl move it's wing up and down, like on a pivot. The body of the bird and each wing are on different layers as the wings partially overlap the body and I didn't want blank spaces on the body as the wings move.
I've tried the bone tool but aside from getting round the whole bitmap and break apart thing I can't seem to do it with that as it moves the whole image and splits it into 4 pieces [URL]..

I'm having trouble creating multiple instances of one movieclip. I've got an array set up that loads photos into flash and places them in a grid (sort of). I want those photos to have outlines around them. So, i created an outline. Now, when i try to place it on all of the photos, it will run through them and only apply itself to the latest photo (one instance overwrites the others). How do i make multiples of the outline?

I'm currently trying to program a flash game using actionscript 3.0 where users would step on insects. Basically, I added multiple instances of insects movieclip and remove them by using hitTest function. When the mouse_mc. hitTestObject(insect), there were times the insect was not removed.
Here are the errors I encountered:
Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/swapChildren()
at SteppingGame/hitTest()
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at insectmc/onEnterFrameEvent_SF()
Also, is there anyway I could simply my code like creating multiple arrays of movieclip insectmc?
Here's my as3 code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have a fla file that has a hardcoded variable which is used to validate that a user has permission to run the swf.The variable hold the number of days from the start of the year. If the current date is later - the swf will not play.I need to generate mutliple swfs each with a different day-code (possibly 100s). Apart from editing the .fla and publishing each time,is there any other method of doing this. For example, the code being read form a file and built into to the swf when publishing.

I try to create multiple text fields in a movieclip. However, the one created later always overwrite the one created immediately before it. Below is the code in the first and only frame in the application:
create2TextFields();
function create2TextFields()
{
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",this.getNextHighest Depth());
[Code]....
The code is writen in AS2 and Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and tested with Flash Player 10.
When I ran it in Flash Player 10, I only saw message2 displayed on the stage. When I stepped through the app in Adobe Flash Professional CS5, I found that as soon as message2 text field was created, message1 text field which was being displayed on the stage disppeared.

I have made a movieClip (mcMask) which I can use to mask another movieClip containing a bg image (mcImage). I have given the image movieClip an instance name(bg_mc) and I have given the mask movieClip a class of "Mask" in the "linkage" field. Now, I want to create multiple "Mask" movieClips using AS3 and use these to mask the image movieClip (bg_mc).The problem comes when I want to call the instance names of the "Mask" movieClips and set them to be the .mask value of the image movieClip.Because they are created from a class dynamically they don't have instance names. Is there a way to easily give them all instance names and then call them to use as masks? Or is there another way of calling them without assigning instance names?
Code:
//creates Var to create new "Mask" movieClips
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 999999);

I am working on project in flex 3, where user enters some text which is to be stored in a mysql database and shown later. I am using XML for data transfer from flex to php and vice-versa. SimpleXMLElement in php is being used to create the XML. The problem is the XML breaks on special characters.Here is sample code:
FLEX:
var someXML:XML = <root><data>somedata</data><data>...</data> ... </root>
var data:Object = {};
data.xmlData = someXML;
saveDataService.send(data);
Here somedata is the data entered by the user. In php, I extract the someXML using SimpleXMLElement and store it to mysql. There is no problem till here. Even if somedata has special characters its working fine and data is stored properly.Now, in the other case, getting data from database and showing in flex, the response from the php breaks with an error:
SimpleXMLElement::addChild() [simplexmlelement.addchild]:unterminated entity reference
I tried using urlencode in php, and decodeURI function in flex, but the decoded string is not the same, few special characters are still %xy after decoding.

For this project I'm working on currently I've had to create a Font Symbol and select 'Bold' in order for the 'Bolded Font' to display in my dynamic text box.I'm just wondering, is there a way to only select uppercase A - Z to be embeded with the Font Symbol, rather than the whole font?Note I had to create the font symbol as this is the only way to attach the 'bolded' version - Else I would be using the 'Embed Font' button and selecting which characters I wanted.

Is there a way, in ActionScript 2, to set multiple properties for an exising movieclip in one command?
For example, is there a way to write something like this more succinctly?:
myMovieClip._x = 10;
myMovieClip._y = 10;
myMovieClip._alpha = 100;

I was trying to make a shooter from a bird's view perspective...So far I've got my character which is a simple circle, and a rectangle protruding from him (the gun), and it rotates depending on where the mouse is located.I've also got a custom cursor set in, to add some kind of excitement...Here's the dumb question... How do I get it so that whenever I click (shoot) the cursor movieclip will play a certain frame inside of itself? I want it to do something like:
Code:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
It just says that I can't have mouse functions unless it's a button.I was thinking of just making a huge button that covers the whole stage, set the alpha to 0, and when that button is clicked, it will play what I want it to play.

I'm using Flash CS5. I have created an Input Text box, but for some reason, the only numerals that apear on the screen when typed are 0, 1, and 2. If one types 3, etc., they just don't appear.
Also, I have a dynamic text box for which when I do the following, it only shows "lease type a number from 1 to 12." with no "P".
txt_incorrect_number.text = "Please type a number from 1 to 12."

I added a contact form to a site, and the input fields aren't allowing numbers or certain letters. If I test the contact form swf by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I test it in the site, the problem occurs. I haven't got any other actionscript around the contact form, so am puzzled. The site is [URL] - the contact link is on the bottom left menu.
