Professional :: Container In A Scrollpane With Some Vertically Ordered Movieclips?
Nov 16, 2010
I've a container in a scrollpane with some vertically ordered movieclips in it (one on top of the other). I have another container of movieclips that I can drag into container 1. Once the new movieclip is dragged in, the other clips move to make space for it. Also, the clips in 1 can be dragged to a new position, and the other clips move up or down to accomodate the moved clip.
I did it using a lot of x and y positioning. It works, until I use the scroller. Then the positioning gets all screwy. My thinking now is to use arrays, but I'm wondeirng if it's possible when you're pushing an item into an array, to push it into a certain position in the array? So, push it into position 15 for example? How do you tell Flash to add an item to a certain array position?

I'm more of a Flex than Flash developer so I'm hopeful this is something easy. Short story, I have a scrollpane in a flash-created swf. In my pure AS3 project I dynamically create menuitems within a new movieclip.

Each duplicated clip is a different height to fit some xml text.
How do I vertically space out the duplicated movie clips so they don't overlap?
Code:
result_mc.duplicateMovieClip("mc" + i,i);
result_mc._visible = false;
//Y Placement

I'm new in AS3 and i'm having some problems. I'm trying to put thumbnails that are load by xml inside a ScrollPanel.
What happened is that the ScrollPanel didn't have a scrollBar and didnt scroll. I thought that if i put each thumbnail inside a MovieClip and set the height maybe would do the trick. But things got worse because i couldn't be able to put the thumb's inside de MC's. Just put them in front

I have a problem creating multiple movieclips inside a container mc. The one created later always overwrited the one created immediately before it and ended up with only the last one left in the container mc. Below is the code:

point in the right direction if there's been a post previously on this, I did a search but didn't find anything. So my problem is that I'm creating objects dynamically and adding them to a movieclip container. I.e. click button -> generate new instance of Item class -> container.addChild(item).
[Code].....
What on earth am I missing?! I've googled and found working examples of that, but it just does not do the trick for me. I'm compiling the project as an Adobe AIR file, but as far as I'm concerned, it should not intervene with the x and y values of the movie clips. I also tried getting the values by methods in the Item class, but with no luck.

How can I check how many movieClips exist in a container and how much space are they taken?
In other words, how can I make this calculation if I have a rectangular movieClip (containerMc) that is 5x1px and five square movieClips (sq1Mc,sq2Mc, sq3Mc, sq4Mc and sq5Mc) that are 1x1px and which can dynamically be placed inside containerMc and I want to know how many and which of these five movieClips already exist in containerMc so I can determine where the next square movieClip needs to be placed?
Can someone be so kind and show me how to do this or direct me where I can find the answer?

I've got a movie clip that consists of a few other movie clips. This is to maintain a certain degree of order in the chaos. I use action script to load the container mc on the stage. Now I want to change some properties of on of the contained mc's, but they seem to be unreachable. So I did a little testing and I found out that when you just place an instance on the stage, those contained MC's are accesable, you can see in the debugger that the container MC contains other stuff. But if the MC is loaded with attachMovie(), the debugger does not show that the container has other mc's within it, and therefor I cannot change the properties of those mc's.

I would like 2 objects that I can drag up and down indipendantly with the mouse (vertically only) between set limits. I would also like a line between the two objects that stretches like a piece of elastic.

The correct code to constrain movie clips to a container movie clip (or sprite or whatever) in the fashion I was looking for is this:
var picContainer:PicContainer = new PicContainer();
picContainer.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - picContainer.width / 2;
picContainer.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - picContainer.height / 2;
addChild(picContainer);
var totalPics:int = 17;
var pic:Pic = new Pic(); //make an instance just to get its width

I have here 2 options here of adding movieclips to a container, but I don't know which one is better. I want to know the pros and cons of each one. Also, What of the options is faster?. (i mean, which one uses less processor and memory resources?.
Option 1.
Code:
Select allvar container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(container);
for (var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var tank:Tank = new Tank(); //Tank is a movieclip in the library.
container.addChild(tank);
} MovieClip(container.getChildAt(2)).visible = false;
Option 2.
Code:
Select allvar container:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
container.push(new Tank()); //Tank is a movieclip in the library.
stage.addChild(container[i]);
} container[2].visible = false;

I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward. Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie. For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.
These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works. I believe it's because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the '_root' in the child movie is no longer the actual root?
I have tried both methods in the child movie:
//method without using 'with'
_root.ContentWindow.play();
And using the 'with action like so:
//method using 'with
with (_root.ContentWindow) {
play();
}
It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it - cuz now the MC 'ContentWindow' is no longer one level down from the '_root' but two levels?
For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()

I have a class with several methods I must run in an specific order. So, I created a kind of chain where each one calls the next in its last sentence (sometimes with calls, sometimes dispatching events):
internal function a(evt:SwapEvent):void { //started from custom event
...
b();
}
[Code]....
But, as far as I know, Flash Player doesn't make a synchronous execution. i.e., it doesn't wait until method a() completes to execute b()
clean and bullet-proof implementation? This application will run in an endless loop 24x7

I found an interesting questions regarding the events in action script: is the event buffered and ordered?
Ie) In a swfloader example, I setup a timer(1 sec) to run a function, in the function I setup a listener to event INIT of the loaded swf. It depends on the network condition that whether the timer handler or the INIT event will be first executed. Imagine a case that the INIT event fired first but the handler to handle the INIT event be setup later, will the handler be invoked?
Another question, if the loaded swf fired several events very fast, will the events be kept ordered as the fire sequence?

randomly start an ordered list of SWF's.I have my main SWF calling up external SWF's. I have 2 groups of external SWF's From my main SWF Actionscript, I want to randomly play one SWF in Group A and continue cycling through Group A (in order) until it is finished.Then I want to randomly play one SWF from Group B and continue cycling through that list (in order) until the list is cycled through. Then repeat group A (random start, but staying in order), etc.
My current ActionScript works for Group A to randomly select and play in order, I need it to stop after it gets to the random starting point (so it doesn't repeat) and start up Group B (which isn't in there yet)
ActionScript Code:
var logos:Array = new Array();
logos[0] = "logo1.swf";
[code]...
I need it to completely play through the Group A list before it goes onto Group B

I've got some moveieClips in container in a scrollpane component.The movieClips are draggable.I'd like to add extra functionality where if an item is dragged and touches the bottom of the scrollpane, it automatically scrolls up, and the reverse if you touch the top with a dragged object.I tried the scrollDrag, but I only want it to scroll once the dragged item touches the bottom or top.So I wrote this and put it in the drag function:[code]....
It needs a bit of work, and I think I can get it working, but the one thing I'm stumped on is how to make the scrollbar move too.Is there a way to communicate with the component using code (I created this component from the component inspector)?

I'm trying to use a scrollbar in flash cs5. The problem is that I tried the ScrollPane, but I want to be able to contact the content in it. The way I have learned, ScrollPane just links to a moveclip in your library, and the content itself is never actually placed on the stage. So, how can I call up the content in my ScrollPane? I tried to give the ScrollPane the instance name "scroll" and refer to the content in it, like this:
scroll.content1.content
But since the content never is placed on stage I can't contact it.

I'm having trouble calling up the content in my scrollpane in a simple quiz application. I'm a graphic designer so I'm not real proficient with AS3 yet. I created a scrollpane object called Scroller1 and I'm trying to scroll a movie object called Movie1 inside the scrollpane. The code I used from the Adobe site calls up an external file, but I want to call up an internal movie so I changed the Scroller1.source = to the movie name, but it doesn't work.
[Code]...
Is there some other way I need to call this up? The movie is a contents list that has buttons to take you to various frames in the application and it's too long for one page.

I'm using a scrollpane and when you release the mouse outside the flash area when scrolling it doesn't register the MOUSE_UP and gets stuck in its scrolling state. You then have to click inside the scrollpane to disable the scrolling. I'd like to use a MOUSE_LEAVE event to remove the focus from the scrollbar so this doesn't happen. What is the best way to disable the scrollbar when the user is outside the flash window?

...only if its a top tier movie clip. If the movie clip is embedded in a slide show, it doesn't work properly. It works only when I turn the scrollwheel and move the mouse in the same direction at the same time. Kinda strange, isn't it? Is there a fix?

I'm importing two swfs - one goes into a scrollpane called menuPagePane, the other just where it is.I get a "cannot access the property or method of a null oblject reference" - menuPagePane.addChild(loader); error.
If I only try to import one of either swfs, they work fine. If I take off the menuPagePane reference (so as to import it directly to the stage, not the scrollpane), the swfs load, but I get a second instance of the first one loading on top of the second one.
