Actionscript 3 :: Apply A Function To Each Movie Clip In An Array?
Jan 3, 2012
I've an empty array and some global variables, and I have two movie clips in my library: one is a trigger, second is the movie clip that is placed on the stage when the trigger is activated (a testdummy, if you want).
var dummies:Array = [];
var i:int = 300;
var j:int = 500;
var k:int = 0;
[Code].....
...I get an obvious error : Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 66 1120: Access of undefined property dummy. Because dummies are created within a function. I don't have any trouble addressing items in the 'dummies' array though.
Though dummies are crated by the same pattern, data stored in them is the whole point of creating the application.
how can I apply a function to each of those dummies, which is executed on click and affects only one dummy?

The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

I am trying to draw circles dynamically with actionscript, duplicate/create multiples, have them move randomly around the stage independently of each other, and have them bounce off each other if they come in contact. The hit test for the latter has not been written yet. I can't get the circles to move independently of each other. My code is below.
** CHANGE STAGE COLOR TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHITE
Here I try to make 9 movie clips, draw circles inside of them, and apply the moveRandom function to one movie clip.

No idea why this really basic feature isn't working for me right now...
Why can I not apply a filter to a movie clip, only a button?? I'm in CS4, publish settings are set to Flash 8....

I'm trying to use actionscript to apply a gradient to a movie clip. I've tried looking up examples but they all seem hideously complicated, with tons of colors and weird angles. Or they inlove using the Draw API to draw a rectangle and then apply it! All I need to do is apply a linear gradient with three colors to a movie clip that's already on the stage? Does anyone know how I would go about this or a tutorial where I could find it? It seems so simple in theory! I've tried using bevel and glow filters but they're not really what I'm looking for.

apply actions to an attached/created movie clip at runtime? I.E. You use attachMovieClip to attach a clip, and then you add a startDrag/stopDrag system to it dynamically.

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;

I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.

i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection
the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects

I am writing an interactive 'bingo' game which creates a bingo card with 20 boxes. In AS2 I used duplicateMovieClip and 'push'ed the duplicate into an array. I could them access each movie clip when clicked (to turn a cross on or off on the movie clip). My original movie clip is called symbol_box_mc and the array I want to push it into is called symbol_box I've a load of other queries about this project but one step at a time! I've defined the array earlier with... var symbol_box:Array = new Array();

I am fairly new to actionscript infact I've only had flash for a few days, so still learning, but what I'vedecided to do are just small little projects to try and improve my skills and knowledge of Actionscriptas I am enjoying programming8-)I would like to be able to display a random movieclip from my library which I created earlier and convertedthem to a symbol of a movieclip and then linked them with names piece1, piece2, piece 3 and piece 4.What I would like to be able to do is display these movie clips randonly on the stage, I've use an array withjust 1 object inside it but not with 4.
var randompiece:int=Math.random()*3;var mazearray:Array=["piece1","piece2","piece3","piece4"];
I'm not sure where to go from here

I have made an array that creates a menu within a sidebar (this is embeded in a MovieClip, so that it can be tweened in and out dynamically). When you click a menu item created by the array, it loads a swf and plays it. This all works fine. My problem is this: I would like to use that same array to have a "fast forward" and "rewind" feature that plays the next or previous .swf in the array. The other kink is that the swfs need to "autoplay", as in, when one swf is done, the next in the array should start. I am stumped on how to do the fast forward, rewind, and autoplay stuff using the array...
Code:
var menu_itemArray:Array = [
{itemName:"When is it used?",itemType:1,itemSwf:"01whenused.swf"},
{itemName:"Why is it used?",itemType:1,itemSwf:"02whyused.swf"},

I want to assign a specific frame from a movie clip to a specific item in an array. I have a movie clip with 52 frames and each one has a different image of a playing card. I also have an array in a separate as file that has 52 items. If say I want to assign frame 1 of the movie clip to array[0] what exactly must be done? If I click on a button and a two of spades is drawn, how do I make sure the two of spades frame in the movie clip is chosen?

I know this should be easy, but I can't seem to make it work. All I want is for the variable currentPage to select randomly from an array so that every time the page loads, it displays a different currentPage. This is what I have so far:
var myImages:Array = new Array("outsource_mc","solutions_mc","staff_mc");
var randomImages:Array = [];
var randomCount:Number = 1;
var r:Number;
for (var i = 0; i<randomCount; i++) {

I want to have an array that loops my movie clips.However, there also needs to be the ability for the loop to stop and play a specific movie clip when a specific thumbnail that corresponds to that clip is clicked on.Then, when that movie is done playing, the array is accessed again and the array continues once again, also looping.I don't even know if this is possible.I set up something that worked in Flash Catalyst, but the only problem is that FC doesn't have the ability to have a fullscreen button in it for the document.I need to be able to have the entire document go fullscreen when a button is pressed.I do not have Flash Builder.[code]

I have movie clip in an array (newStep) that is being added to the stage dynamically. It's randomly choosing a frame to go to every time an instance is added. There is a nested movie clip (stepLine) that i need to change the alpha of. This code actually works for adding a string to to the dynamic text box (pointsDText) but when i try to access the nested movie clip (stepLine) it gives me 1009 null object reference error. The funny thing is the code actually works and does change the alpha of the movie clip but i still get that error, and i think it's making my game more glitchy. I've tried using if(contains(steps[r].stepLine)) too but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to access this movie clip without getting the error?
if(newStep != null){
for(var r:int = 0; r<steps.length;r++){
if(steps[r].currentLabel == "points"){

I want to store their locations as a variable, then just call that variable in a Tween. I read somewhere that it has to be an Array. However, I don't know how to call it without getting commas in between instead of dots.
ActionScript Code:
var boxContents:Array;
boxContents = new Array("content_mc","home_mc","homebox_mc","homeText_mc");
removeContent = new Tween(boxContents,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,1,0,1,true);
