Flash - Add Dynamic Instances Of MovieClips To An Array

Aug 29, 2010

I'm trying to add an instance of a MovieClip inside an array. Inside the House Class is a property called HouseObjects. Inside that array, I created a Comp and a Light class. MovieClips are dynamically placed on the stage, via linkage. The MovieClips also act as "toggle buttons." If the button state is ON, value is 1. If the button state if OFF, value is 0.

If the value is 1, I am trying to add MovieClip instance inside the onList Array. Inside that array will be all the instances that have a button state ON.

I created a property called objSelect.

var objSelect:Object;

That variable holds the currentTarget selected. I'm trying to pass it to function trackItems to either push/pop it in the onList array, based on the button status.

I receive an error for this line:
onList.pop(objSelect);
Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
public class House extends MovieClip
{

ActionScript 3.0 :: Incrementing Through Instances Of Movieclips To Get Them Into An Array?

Jun 2, 2009

the user needs to select an answer from a dropdown list.  I am then creating  an array that will store the answer to each question when the user clicks the submit button.  Each of the drop down menus is named sequentially.  So what I am trying to do is write  a while loop that will increment through and read each of the values into the array so I can process the responses later.  The issue that I am having is writing the syntax to recognize the Instance name of the specific drop down I am trying to reference.
 
Here is the basic code I am using:
 
var Store:Array = new Array(2);
public var Increment:Number;
Increment = 1;

[code]....

So the DropDowns instance names are DropDown1, DropDown2 etc...  It works fine if I manually enter in each instance name (but there are 43 total and I don't want to do each one individually).  
 
I am assuming that I need to setup some sort of variable to temporarily add the increment number to the "DropDown" and then use that as the reference:
 
Increment = 1;
while (Increment <=2){
ItemNumber = "DropDown" + Increment;
Store[Increment] = MovieClip(Scroller2.Form_Scroller.content).ItemNumber.value;
trace(Store);
Increment++;
}
 
But when I do that, I get the following error message:
 
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at combotest/submitted()
 
I assume this is because it is looking for an instance of ItemNumber instead of the instance of the value of ItemNumber.

ActionScript 1/2 :: OnEnterFrame In A Dynamic Movieclips Array

Nov 6, 2009

What I'm trying to do is, generating some movieclips in a loop and putting them into an array and then enumerating the array and set an endpoint for each instance of that movieclip:

mc[i].onEnterFrame=function(){
this._y -=8/N;
if((getTimer()-lastT) > myLevel){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){}
}
}

lastT is the time where the scene was run for the first time. So i'm comparing the time for each instance to that "initial time" and check if its larger than myLevel which varies for each of the instances. So this code first runs for all the instances, each having a different "myLevel", then I expect to see they moved differently. But the result I currently get is all of the instances move to the lowest "myLevel" value and then stop.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Multiple Instances Of Same Object Via Array?

I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Series Of Movieclips With These Instances In Each Other Mc Being The Top Most Movieclip?

Mar 23, 2011

I was wondering, sometimes i get confused from which point in a movieclip to indentify another movie clip. I was wondering if this would work lets say i have a series of movieclips with these instances in each other
mc being the top most movieclip

mc>mc1>mc2>mc3>mc4 now lets say my code is in mc4 and i want to indentify mc1. Could i do this?

Code:_root.mc.mc1 I have no idea how to use the "parent" reference tag from that deep within a movie clip. Is "_root" a good method to use? Will it work? even though its being stated from with that movieclip?

Flex :: Control Multiple Instances Of Movieclips In A Loaded Swf At Once?

Mar 2, 2011

I am loading an swf created in flash professional cs5 via the loader class into a flex 4.1 application. The flash file contains multiple movieclips that are exported for actionscript and those movieclips exist in many instances throughout the movie.

Iterating through everything, comparing class types seems to be the most easy but also the most redundant way to solve this. Is there any way of using the class name as a kind of global selector to access the clips?

I could also make the sub-clips in the flash listen for an event on which they perform an action, but I am not really sure what might be best.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing Classes / MovieClips - Spawning Instances Of A Symbol

Jul 6, 2009

i'm creating an application using AS3.0 and class files. in this application i have a MovieClip in the library i'm using that contains several symbols and configurable textfields and have already defined the functionality for these symbols. my question is, if i'm creating an application and through actionscript and i'm spawning instances of a symbol, do i have to define the functionality and initialize this symbol in the main application class?

specifics: i'm creating a panorama app with markers that are papervision3d planes. they use a movieClip texture that i've created and i want to configure textfields and display pictures that describe the info in the marker. i created a panoApp.as class file that configures the panorama. but i also have a marker.as class that defines the symbol's behavior. this movieclip has symbols in it it's stage that i've defined (ie: name_textfield, description_textfield, etc..) when i compile the project, the compiler errors saying that the variables/identified internal symbols are missing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Relative Variables Of Movieclip Instances From Root Or Other Movieclips

Feb 1, 2010

In AS3, how can you access a relative variable within a specific movieclip on the stage?I have a test file that changes the variable "myVar" in one of the displayobject movieclips drawn on the stage. I want to simply trace the current value of this displayobject's myVar for additional purposes.In AS2, you would achieve this by calling the instance name and then the variable contained within.Assuming 3 movieclips existed on the stage named Container1¯, Container2¯ and Cotainer3¯trace(_root.myContainer2.myVar);// returns Hello which is value of variable "myVar" within the movieclip instance named "Container2".How would you do this in AS3?[code]
