I'm trying to do a cleaning of some classes that is added into a MovieClip, but I can't seems to set the MovieClip(Class) to null. What is the proper way to do it?
private var mcHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip()[code].................
I have the class avanzada.as:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]........
I have this class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.filters.BitmapFilter;
[Code]....
Appears this error message:
"1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0."
I try with:
new MovieClip(this.root).cambiaBlur(gift);
but also fails.
I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well: There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++) {
txt="blue"+i;
mc_scroll.attachMovie("blueMovie", txt, mc_scroll.getNextHighestDepth(), {_y:50*i+5, _x:5});
mc_scroll.txt.blueButton.btn_text.text = txt;
[Code] .....
How to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC! I've attached the FLA also.
I have a MovieClip, that I'm going to add to the display list with my document class at runtime beacuase there will be many instances of it. The MoviClip "box" has 3 more MovieClip instances inside it,and each of those three have two more.It looks like this:
box
circle 0
oval0
oval1
[code]....
why wont this work?
some_mc["nested_mc_name"].onPress = function():Void {
trace ("test")
};
I'm trying to make a dynamic function so I can pass a string var for the name of any nested movieClip I want on the fly.
if you have object inside of object inside of object ... etcwhen you want to completely remove it is it enough to just say:removeChild(topObject);or you need to go inside and start cleaning from there?
View 3 Repliesi am using a movieclip who has two nested movieclips, the problem i am dealing is that when i try to get the width or height of the parent movieclip it always showing the values of the small nested movieclip, when i draw the movieclip it draw perfect but when i read this values shows that error, what can i do?

I have a character animation which i control from within a class "character"this class references a movieclip with e.g. 3 frames: "idle", "walk_right", "walk_left".these frames contain the animation movieclips.
so when the character moves left i use "gotoAndStop("walk_left")
so far so good, but:the character has some parts which need to be colorized according to the dynamic classes value "color".
I need to make an item draggable (dragable?) Sorry if my terminology is not right!I have a class where I will store variable and do calculations:

I have a package (XMLThumbLoader) that loads thumbnails and is supposed to import a scroller class(DSIScroller). The thumbloader works fine, but when I try to scroll the thumbsContainer movie clip, I get "Error #1009 Cannot acces a property or method of a null object reference". Notice that I instantiated the DSIScroller class near the end of the main package instead of underneath the import DSIScroller command. By doing this, my thumbnails show up. If I place the instantiation right under the import command, no thumbs show. I believe the issue is with the dynamically created movie clip: thumbsContainer.
Here is the main package (XMLThumbLoader)
Code:
package {
import flash.xml.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.events.Event;

Is there another way to work with movieclip classes than attaching them from the library?For instance say that I have a textbox class that extends the movieclip class. Puts it on the scene and then I'm free to work with it from the class as I want.But inside this class I check if I need a scrollbar. If I do, then start a "sub-class" and create a scrollbar. I can have a movieclip in the library and attach it and have a new class on it. But what I want to do is write something like this
var clipScroll = createEmptyMovieClip("scrollBar", 3)
clipScroll = new com.texts.text_items.ScrollBar
the problem is if I do like this the class that I start is just an object. I can't trace where it is, I cant create a movieclip inside it and trace where that is.
I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".
View 6 RepliesFor 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'm trying to cast a MovieClip to a custom Class that extends MovieClip called MovieClipExt
ActionScript Code:

...but sadly returns null instead of a MovieClip converted to MovieClipExt
what should i change to make this work?
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?

I have built a movieclip (parentMC) that houses two movieclips within it (mcA, mcB).
in mcA, i'm dynamically attaching movieclips from the library through a loop.
in mcB i'm trying to reference a particular movieclip from mcA via "_parent.mcA". Doesn't seem to be working. However, when i reference said movieclips from the loop within mcA - or even parentMC, it works fine.
i have created a movieclip (parentMC) that houses two movieclips within it (childA and childB)
in childA, i am dynamically creating movieclips via a loop:
Code:
var newX = 0;
var pagTotal = 8;
for(i=1; i<pagTotal+1; i++){
[Code].....
...and in childB i'm trying to reference one of these created movieclips via "_parent.childA.pagClip01" so on and so forth.
but they dont seem to be working. when i trace the dynamic clip from within childB i keep getting "undefined" in the output. however, I can reference the movieclip from within childA, and even from parentMC no problem.
i've used _root and _level0 absolute paths and still the same failed result.
I was just wondering if there is any easy way to extend the MovieClip class itself, without making a new class? I'd like it to be equivalent to using MovieClip.prototype ... or should I just use prototype?
View 5 RepliesI would like to be able to load in my mcs with class objects attached inside a different movieclip on the stage called game
currently i spawn my mc like this - vertex = new Ball(); -and it loads them to the stage, how can i load them into the game mc
I want to do this because i use a giant mc with my game inside to scale and move around to simulate zooming and panning of a camera
I have a nested movieclip that I need to control.I have searched the net and to this point I have been able to make it gotoAndStop at frame 1 and play().I can't make it stop.I understand that actionscript can be attached to the movieclip instance or placed on the root timeline.what I would like is direction to websites and or tutorials that might teach me how to control a nested movieclip.

I'm trying to build a styled, rounded button movieclip that I can reuse/resize. So inside a movieclip, I have two layers:
Layer 1: A border, which is a shape - a rounded rectangle (or actually the stroke of a rounded-rect).
Layer 2: A nested movieclip which contains a shape for the face of the button. I have added filters to this nested movieclip to give it a beveled-type look - typical rounded button stuff.
So, I've tried applying scale-9 to the parent movieclip: in this case the border scales fine, but the face (with the filters) does not. So, then I tried applying scale-9 to both the parent and the nested face movieclip,I want to be able have the button self contained as a clip which I can pull from the library, drop on the stage, and scale without distortion - and so far, as mentioned,I can't figure out how the get the nested face, the one with the filters applied, to scale appropriately.
I have a bit of code that calls a custom class that I made in flash. Basically when you roll over this logo I have a function that makes a new instance of a custom class and calls it to the stage like a little pop-up text when you roll over something. Then when you roll off of it I remove it from the stage. The following code is for the first pop-up text.

I'm having a problem trying to get some nested movie clips to play. I have three movie clips on three different layers all on frame one of the parent layer. each layer has a labIe (well just call it "layer1", "layer2. "layer3") I have a stop command on the parent level (on its own layer). each of the three movie clips has its own animation (the nested animation). The lower two have a stop command in their first frame(nested) so they wont play. Only the top movieclip would play on run. I want to place a gotoandplay command in the nested timeline of the above movie, that will start to play the next lower movie clip nested timeline, as the above one is ending, and repeat this process to cylce back around to the top movieclip. The overall goal is to have one animation move into the other using nested timeline smoothly.
View 1 RepliesI created a stage size 960 by 640, than i create a movieclip exactly the same size as the stage, but when i double click to get into the movieclip everything get smaller an object with 960 by 640 has reduce to 184by 140??? How do I get it back to the original size?
