In Adobe Flash, I have a movie clip that is added to the stage when the keyboard is pressed. I want it to travel across the screen and disappear once it reaches the edge of the stage. At the moment I use this but the image appears and then stops. Here is my code:
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,runtime);
var c = 0
function runtime(){
[code]....
I have several movie clips labeled thumb0, thumb1, thumb2, etc.
How do I refer to these instance names inside a for loop? I want to do something like:
//DISPLAY THE THUMBNAILSfor(var thumbCount:int = 0; thumbCount < loadedThumbs.length; thumbCount++) { ["thumb" + thumbCount].visible = true;
}
I need to populate the text field tField (defined on stage) that resides inside ParentClass (MovieClip with same class name). I want to be able to set tField.text to whatever I want from AnotherClass. How do I do it?
View 2 RepliesI just wonder that how can i write this code that means if the "specific" button is clicked(i mean if the homebutton is clicked=true) like this.. and how can i refer a button that in main stage while in an another clip's substage..

View 3 RepliesHow can I refer to an instance on the stage if:
- I added it to the stage using the GUI
- I wrote its implementation in an external AS file
I can't assign it a instance name otherwise I get this error: Code: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myInstance on MyClassName.
i am having problems referencing an mc's instance name via a string var. I think the solution would be simple, but i have been trying different things for a while
ActionScript Code:
var hitarea:Array = new Array;
function populatehitareas()

the second bit of code "mc_inst1.onRollOver..." works, but the first bit of code, which tries to loop through all movie clip instances, will not work.I think this is because myReference is a String. But can anyone suggest how else I should construct my reference to the instance name?
Code:
for (var a:Number = 1; a<myCount; a++) {
myReference="mc_inst"+a;
var myClip:MovieClip = myReference;

I placed a movie clip instance inside a button, and I want this movie clip to play when the button is released. I'm using this code on the frame containing the button:

Trying to set up a world of warcraft like hotkey setup for an RPG i'm making for a school project, where you drag spells from the spellbook onto the hotkeys. Understand all the concepts, however, instead of doing a ridiculous amount of if statements, I want to loop the functions. Unfortunately, I don't know how to refer to certain variable and instance names within loops. I shall show you what I have:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i; i<2; i++){
spellbook_inst["spell_"+i+"_inst"].onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
_root.hold_spell_position_inst._x = this._x;
_root.hold_spell_position_inst._y = this._y;
}}
The "spells" (i.e., icons you drag from the spellbook) are all named spell_(number)_inst, and are movieclips within the spellbook_inst movieclip. I want the drag function to be available for all spells. At the moment, I don't get any syntax errors, but nothing happens, so I presume I have referred to it incorrectly.
so i finally decided to jump to as3 from as2! (yes, it took me some time XD) I have a better understanding of as3 after reading tutorials, however i have a problem/doubt: I have 2 movieclips on my main timeline with the name of the instances: OBJ_1 and OBJ_2. both have animations. OBJ_1 has a stop on its 1st frame; OBJ_2 has an action in its last frame:

I spent my holyday in studing new Flash 9, very good, powerfull but I doesn't find anymore my root, in teory is transformed in stage.root but it doesn't work.I want to understand if I make a mistake in my code or in my approach.I make a simple example with a few object containers.In the firsts lines of the constructor of the mail class I create the style class named tf and then the interface class called interf.Here is my class
Code:
package test {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import test.tf;[code]....
how to get the tf1 Object that as to be in stage.root.mytf.tf1 as some documentation say? If you doesn't comment that line you have an error. Obviously you can carry with you the object because is a small object with a few nidification but It seems to me very very bad for performance and code.
I'm trying to make a menusystem that will jump to specific frames depending on what frame I'm currently on. I have made a switch/case to evaluate the current frame. I have managed to find this code to get the current frame but I need an instance of my entire flash movie it seems? I have tried this (psudo code sort of). var frame = myClip.currentFrame; I then proceed to test frame in the switch/case statement. (All this is an event for a mouse event listener BTW). Now how can I refer to myClip?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a mobile AIR app using Flash Builder 4.5. The initial view in my views package is TestHomeView.mxml. I want to refer to it in one of my .as classes elsewhere in the app, and I'm not sure how to do that.
Theoretically I should be able to add an "id" attribute to TestHomeView.mxml, but FB gives me an error: "id is not allowed on the root tag of a component". The root tag is s:view.
The reason I need to do this is that within another class I make various calculations and then need to pass an array of values to a component in my view class. So in SomeOtherActionScriptClass.as I first assemble the array, myArray, and then in that class I want to do this:
myViewComponent.viewArray = myArray;
If I'm going to do that, I also need to import the view class into the .as class, which strikes me as weird. So is there a simple way to do what I want, or do I have to dispatch a custom event which contains the array, and listen for it in the view class?
EDIT - Based on the below MVC suggestion I did the following in model:
[Bindable]
public class Model
{
private static var myModel:Model;//doesn't let me name it 'model' because
[code].....
But it is coming back null. It isn't null when I put a breakpoint in the Model class, but when I try to access it from the view class, it's null. The model itself isn't null, but that variable is.
I have a frame label on the main timeline called "History" I have a movieclip on the stage. Inside that movie clip I have a button.
I want to refer back to History from the button within the clip. Tried everything.
im new at the forums and still learning. My problem should be fairly easy to solve, anyhow:I have got a AS3 fla. file with a mc (main_mc) on stage, I am importing an SWF (a galery) into my fla. problem is that the import code i got tells flash that the loader (mcLoader) is placed right on stage and I want it to be placed inside my MC (main_mc). Hope you guys get my problem, here i the code:
so basicly all I need is how to refer to my MC (main_mc) inside of which i put my mcLoader (which the galery will load inside of)

I have made a dropdown menu on the main timeline as a symbol. I need to create listeners to the buttons on the dropdown menu to make the main timeline go to a specific frame.
View 6 RepliesIf one uses [Embed] to refer to external graphic assets its easy to instantiate and use them.However, I've got a png in an Fla, with the Class identifier set to "Symbols", Base class is BitmapData.I need to instantiate it like this:
var symbols:BitmapData = new Symbols(1, 1);
addChild(new Bitmap(symbols));
Of course the compiler complains about a call to a possibly undefined method Symbols.For a temporary fix I guess i'll put the graphic external to the swf, but for this project it needs to be in the library along with everything else.
What I want is: when the "hero" touches an enemy, all enemies should be removed. The problem is that when the hero touches an enemy it only removes that enemy. This only happens when its inside of an "if" condition. I made another example using buttons and worked perfect. let me show you the examples: in this case I made a button to create some movie clips inside an array:
ActionScript Code:
i = 0
myArray = []
boton1_btn.onPress = function(){
[Code]....
in the dieEnemies() function it only remove the one enemy the hero is hitting. What should I do to make all enemies being removed?
I had a movieclip which contained a button in it exported as "mc". Then I attach this movie clip onto the stage using: _root.attachMovie("mc", "link1", 1); But i couldn't find it with AS. I mean, how can i refer to the button inside the movieclip after I attach it onto the stage using attachMovie?
View 2 Replieshow to refer the main time line or stage from inside the class.
class sample{
function sample(){

in actionscript 2 we use _root for this... in actionscript3 if we use root...why its not working inside the class....?
The only options in my AWS Mananagement Council are to reboot and termiante. If I understand this correctly, if I terminate, I lose all my setup instructions and would have to pay the $5 one-time fee once I restart. Is this correct?How can I setup my instance so I can stop it? I've looked at the support page and it says that I need to have my instance backed up with EBS rather than S3. These instructions are not too clear, because I thought a 8gb EBS is included when you initialize FMS. Here is the support page:[URL]..

Note the red code, I need to repeat this an unknown amount yet multiple times but with the number on the end of enemy incremented by 1 each time. It starts with 0 as you can see the code just above the red. I heard about for loops using 'i' but im unsure about how to use it.
edit: ah, this forum isnt letting me highlight red. Everything in this editor is also failing. well, when I say code in red i mean this code:
if (enemy1.hitTest(this)) {
enemy1.speed = 0;
} else {
enemy1.speed = 1;

difference between key code and character code. For example, the number 1 (one) and the character ! (bang) both have the same key code but different character codes. Likewise, the number 7 from the row of numbers and the number 7 from the numpad have different key codes but the same character codes.
I'm programming a music rhythm game in Adobe Flex and would like to bind keyboard keys. This isn't a problem, but I certainly would have a problem, say, setting the default keys to A, S, D, and F and telling the user that this is the case.If you take a look at the documentation for flash.ui.Keyboard, you'll see that there are constants for keyboard keys to key codes. However, these are only available in Adobe AIR and not the browser. This makes sense since not all operating systems and keyboards are alike (or present!), so key codes can vary.
So, how can I assign default keys that have meaning instead of picking key codes and praying?My only sane thought is to store the character codes for the key bindings and then provide an character code to String mapping so I can tell the user what to press. However, my gut tells me that this will break in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. Like CAPSLOCK.
I've put together this interactive swf file which contains this code
var myMic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();

however, the Adobe Flash Player Settings box keeps appearing when I export the file to view the movie. When you try closing it however the movie doesn't react to sound. I've tried taking out pieces of code to see which is calling the box up but it wither stays up or the movie doesn't function properly.

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.
