Flash :: AS3 - Manually Created MovieClips And 'Convert Into Compiled Clip'

Aug 21, 2010

I want to use compiled clips to speed up compilation. But I've found following problem: I've got Foo class, which extends MovieClip and is set as 'Class' to one of library's symbol (this symbol is also called Foo). This symbol (Foo) has a MovieClip child, whose instance name is FOO_CHILD. I'm referencing this child inside Foo class constructor like this:

public function Foo(){
childReferennce = this.getChildByName("FOO_CHILD");
}

Now, when I use 'Convert into compiled clip' option on Foo library symbol it complies fine. But when I try to use it on stage, then I've got runtime error (ReferenceError: Error #1056 which says that it is not able to create "FOO_CHILD" property on my Foo class).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Convert To Compiled Clip Showing Old Errors

Oct 4, 2006

I'm having some trouble with my component. Every time I make a change to the code in the linked .as file I have to literally close down Flash and re-open the file before I convert to compiled clip and test it. If I don't do this Flash will display old errors from the previous compilation. I've tried everything I can think of, but for some reason Flash won't read in the most up-to-date version of the code when I save it, only at startup.

Actionscript 3 :: Operating On Objects Using Flash That Were Created Manually By A Designer In The Timeline

Jul 25, 2011

I was trying to build an application where a designer has created content on the timeline as a sequence of key frames. Each key frame is completely different. When the application is started I choose one of the frames, move the play head to that frame and stop (using gotoAndStop). Next, by referring to symbols in the key frame by name, I use AS3 to allow drag and drop, and I also do some programmatic movement.

The problem is that when I move to a different key frame on the timeline using gotoAndStop, the symbols that were touched by AS3 in the previous frame, even if they are not referenced by the designer's key frame, show up on the stage. It is as though any DisplayObject that I touch with AS3 becomes divorced from the timeline.

how to programatically work with timeline (MovieClip) content that was manually created by a designer. This just seems like it should be a really common use case. It seems that about the only thing I can do safely with the timeline is to move the play head and respond to events (if I don't change the state of DisplayObjects in the timeline). Also, is there any good documentation on how objects get allocated and destroyed when the timeline plays?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Unable To Manually Convert?

Feb 18, 2009

I just started working with flash CS3 and know the basics of actionscript (3.0).I learned a lot by reading most of "Foundation flash CS3 for designers"by Tom Green.I found the following tutorial to create a nice image gallery I want to use for my online portfolio :http:[url]....The problem is that I'm using as3.0 for my website in Flash.I can read the code and understand what it does,but I'm still not able to manually convert it to as3.0.I'm going to try coverting it myself. It will be a good lesson for me to get a better understanding of the scripting process. The only thing I'm afraid of is there will be really a lot of changes (I really don't know) I know already a few changes:

_root -> this
_x (and _y, _alpha etc.) -> remove underscores

Code: Select allthis.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
will become:[code].........

ActionScript 3.0 :: Anti-Aliasing Effect / Manually Created TextField

Aug 21, 2009

I've been trying to achieve the same anti-aliasing (for readability) effect with as3 as if the textField was created manually, but I just keep running into a problem. When I try to add AA(txtfield.sharpness and thickness) to text I can't get any result apart from the text appearing in the same old for animation formation. The funny thing is this only happens when the font size is lower than 20px. I've uploaded an example aswell as a source file (manually created textfield on the left, textfield created with as3 on the right): [URL]. Is this somekind of font issue with Helvetica Neue, weird flash issue or is it me?

Actionscript :: Load A SWF Compiled By Flex Into A SWF Compiled By Flash CS4

Apr 3, 2011

I compiled a simple AS3 project using Flex 3.5 (also tried Flex 4.1) to create a small swf which draws a simple red square on screen. Nothing too complex that requires special flashplayer support (see code below)

and tried to load it into a AS2 swf I have compiled using Flash CS4. But that just didn't work. I don't get any errors when loading and the AS2 swf can load any swf, either compiled in AS2 or AS3 by Flash.

Flash :: Convert Textfield Into Group Of MovieClips?

Nov 16, 2011

I have a dynamically created textfield, and I would like to convert this textfield into a movieclip containing a childmovieclip for each letter of the text, so that i can animate the letters individually (for example treat them as particles and make them explode). Of course the converted movieclip should still look the same way as the original textfield.

Convert Text Fields In Movieclips In Flash With Jsfl?

Feb 16, 2011

I need basically a way to convert a group of selected text in movieclips separately with Flash commands. For example, I know to select just text items in the stage is:

var theSelectionArray = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection;
for(var i = 0; i < theSelectionArray.length; i++){
if(theSelectionArray[i].elementType == "text"){
...
}
}

And I know to convert a selection in a movieclip is:

fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol("movie clip", theName, "top left");

So I need to know the way to loop over the stage and convert each text field in a movieclip.

Flex3 :: Loading Modules Compiled With Flex 4 SDK Into An Application Compiled With Flex 3.5

I am working on a feature for an application that requires Flex 4 functionality. Due to some migration issues of the application from Flex 3.5 to 4.0, I have decided to implement this feature as a module that is compiled with Flex 4.0. The theory is that the application would remain compiled in Flex 3.5 and load the module when it needs it.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To RemoveChild Created MovieClips

Oct 10, 2011

Here is my code in creating the clips: box_type1 is a library movieclip. I already imported it to my document class. That is working.

ActionScript Code:
for(var i:uint=0; i<3; i++) {
var Boxes:MovieClip=new box_type1();
Boxes.x=i * 80;
Boxes.y=i * 50;
Boxes.width=27;
Boxes.height=27;
Boxes.name="Boxes"+i;
addChild(Boxes);
}

Now how could I removeChild a specific Boxes? Like the Boxes with a name of Boxes0? Or my creation of multiple moviclips is wrong? BTW That works. It creates 3movieclips.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Removing The Created Movieclips?

Jul 8, 2009

[URL]I've managed to get it all working though am having trouble extending it more. Basically I've got it set up so that when the used click on another button it loads another xml, basically going to another gallery.It works fine apart from the fact that when i change the gallery, if the previous one has more photos then they are left over in the thumbnails of the new one. So basically what i need to do is remove the created movie clips, when i click on a button then load the new xml file. I can get them using the following code, added onto the end of the tutorial:

Code:
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k],"thumbnail_mc.t"+k);

[code]....

Obviously this isn't what I want as it removes them just after they are created, i was just trying to figure out how to remove them! I've made this function global etc and had buttons use the function but it still wont remove them!The Full path to the created clips is contentHold.content2.gallery.thumbnail_mc.t[i], where i is the numer of photos in the gallery.I created another movie clip within the thumbnail_mc clip and could manipulte that so i'm guessing it has something to do with them being created dynamically?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Created Vs Static Movieclips?

Feb 4, 2009

Movieclips created on the stage and instanced behave differently from dynamic movieclips in that they are destroyed when you go to the next frame (I have a stop on every frame). If I create that same movieclip dynamically then it will stay on the stage forever regardless if I go to the next frame or not. I understand that it needs to be removed from the display list but I can't find any event that is fired on a next frame basis. I could use onEnterFrame but at 30 fps, that's alot of overhead. The idea is to have all the code contained in my .as file.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Removing Movieclips Created At Runtime?

Mar 9, 2009

I'm trying to remove movieclips created at run time using "createEmptyMovieClip" but I'm having a problem calling the "removeMovieClip" function. The difficulty seems to be that the string that I assign as the instance name of the new movie clip doesn't actually refer to the created clip when I try to call"removeMovieClip".

So the "removeMovieClip" function doesn't work if the target name is pulled from the array. My guess is that this has something to do with the values of the array being strings...and it does when I manually type Apple.removeMovieClip(); in because Apple is the movieclip object name. How do call the "removeMovieClip"function using a var as the target?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Movieclips

Nov 21, 2008

I have an application that I am adding movieclips to a container movieclip through a for loop and repeatedly calling myClip.addChild(theNewClip). Now I have a dozen clips in my container and it seems like the only way to access the clip is to use the getChildByName() method and cast it into a temporary clip so I can get at the its properties.

Is this the best and/or only way to do this? Does the old AS2 myContainer["theName"].property not work with dynamically created movieclips? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing MovieClips That Have Been Created In A Different Class?

I am able to dynamically create an object on the stage with a function, but I am at a loss for how to access and manipulate the properties of that object from my Main Class.

in my Main Class I have:

ActionScript Code:
NLP_addChild.addObject(stage)
// NLP_addChild is the other class  addObject() is the function

in NLP_addChild Class appears the following:

ActionScript Code:
public static function addObject(stage:Stage)

myCircle displays correctly on the stage, myCircle is correctly assigned an x of 300. But myCircle x property cannot be assigned from my main class.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Attaching To Movieclips Created Using DuplicateMovieClip

Jul 31, 2006

I'm trying to create a photogallery. I read both of the tutorials on the site, but couldn't find the answer to my problem. First, I will outline my methodology.

There is a directory called images, and therein are stored (surprise surprise) the images for the gallery. There is also a textfile that contains the number of images in the gallery.

Flash runs a loop that uses duplicateMovieClip to create instances of each image and set them up into rows and columns.

That's as far as I've gotten.

I want to be able to click these new movie clips, and have the image that was clicked appear in full size at the top of the screen. Basically, I just need to know how to assign actions to these newly created clips. Is it possible to do this when they are being created? Here's my code, thus far. I was trying to work from scratch, and my knowledge of actionscript is limited.

Code:
var beam:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
beam.load("/images/imagecount.txt");
row = 1;
