Flash :: Which Place Is Used A Movieclip
Aug 11, 2011I have a huge library in Flash CS5. Sometimes, I need to know in which place is used a movieclip (scene, inside another movieclip..).
Has Flash any options to know that?

how can we place hundreds of instances of one movieclip on different place?
for exemple, pacman:
how should i code the placement of all the money?
i would go:
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
but that's not the good solution is it?
there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.
I'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?
View 1 Repliesim trying to place a loader content (an swf which is an instance of the class "Nav") into a movieclip (so i can easily refer to its variables, for example, width) but when i trace the movieclip it throws null. why ?
Code:
private function doneNav(e:Event):void
{
trace (navLoader.content);// [Object Nav]. fine!
nav = navLoader.content as MovieClip;// null. why??

I want to write AS2 code to place "thumb1" inside "container" at x = -163 and y = -65 relative to the orgin of container.
Then after placing the button, the actionscript should also hook up a on-release event to do .[code]...
How do I move a movieclip that is in a place of x and y screen by dragging the mouse? Did not want to use the startDrag because he actually drag the movieclip to the pointer.And it finishes removing the movie clip to the place it should be.
View 0 Repliesif i make say a button in my timeline, convert it to a button. and then remove it from the stage (it is still in the library) in my exeternal .as file how can i then place that movieclip on the stage? i know how to do this within the timeline, but not when it is an external .as file.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to place a movieClip on a grid. What I have is a rectangular movieClip called recMc and I would like to create columns and rows based on two numbers that are dynamically generated, for instance if those numbers are 5 and 6, (5 rows and 6 columns) I will end up with 30 movieClips on the stage forming a rectangular shape. Oh, I would like to have some space in between each movieClip.
I think I saw something like this posted on [URL] when I bought the book, but since this site is down most of the time I cannot view it.
Code:
var rows:Number = dynamicNum1;
var cols:Number = dynamicNum2;
for(var i=0; i<rows; i++){
}
what I have are pieces of a truck and the user needs to be able to drag and drop the pieces to the correct locations. I can get the pieces to drag, but I need help locking them into place once they get within a certain area. So for example if they drag and drop the wheels of the truck towards the back, but not in the exact location, then the movieclip will move and lock into place and then the movieclip becomes disabled.
var dragMC = finalMC.graphicMC;

onMouseMove = function () {

I am currently working on a platformer, and I have a bunch of different tiles I use to form my maps with. These tiles are very different in the looks, and placed besides eachother, they give a very sharp change, which is not very visually appealing. I've been trying to fix this in the following way:
I have four layers, two for each block I'm fading. The first layer is where the actual tile, the graphic, is located. The second layer is the mask. In the mask layer, I have a gradient, which is the exact opposite of the other tiles mask layer (Mask layer 1 goes down, mask layer 2 goes up). However, I need to be able to alter those dynamically, place new gradients in the appropriate mask layer, and new tiles in the appropriate graphics layer.
I've been googling around for the last hour or so, attempting to find a way to define which layer a new MovieClip is placed on, but all I've found is setChildIndex, which, since one layer acts as a mask, I can't use. Is there any such function in Actionscript, or am I to make all combinations of tiles by hand?
I've placed this code on the root time line and it works great, however i need to print multiple MovieClips and I can't do that unless I place all the MovieClips into one MovieClip and that's were this code stops working.
This code keeps two seperate MovieClips physically connected while dragging both while on different layers. [code]...
Can place a border around an empty movie clip:
mc.createEmptyMovieClip("newName".getNextHighestDe pth());
I wish make a zoom with tweenlite library on a movieclip. But I wish zoom on a focus where the user click.

View 2 RepliesI have around 20 buttons that together make a map of USA. I am using AS3 tool tip, which display name of region on mouse-over. I want to create a movieclip which will house all these 20 buttons and their actions(basically put everything under one movieclip).
But when I do that everything works fine but the tool tip gets dispalced.
It appears almost at the edge of the stageAny way to make it appear near the mouse cursor?
Code I am using for tool tip is:
Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler1);
function mouseOverHandler1(e:MouseEvent):void
{

how can i duplicate a movie clip and then place it on a certain place on the stage
View 5 Replies1: When I get back to my main game screen, how do I keep my MovieClip in the same place it was before.
2: When I run this code:
Code:
if(numberOfGras**** == 1){
mcGrass1.visible = false;
mcMonster.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, TouchingGrass1);
}
It makes mcGrass1 disappear, but not the event listener. When I touch the area where it was, it still goes to the screen "math". [URL] That is the location of my .fla

Is there anyway to randomly place a MovieClip/Sprite on an irregularly shaped object?For a rectangle, it seems pretty straightforward (i.e. use Math.random with the range being the coordinates of an object)...but what if say, you would like to avoid placing objects in the center?
View 2 RepliesI have a 100 x 60 rectangle movieclip and I want to duplicate it n times (n is an arbitrary value taken from XML) and place the newly created movieclips in a grid.
The grid will have an arbitrary number of cols / rows, as these values are taken from XML too.
I'm using a for loop to place the movieclips horizontally, but I have no clue how to create a new row once the desired amount of movieclips have been placed horizontally, and so forth until the maximum (n) number of movieclips have been placed on the stage.
Here's my script so far:
ActionScript Code:
var n:Number = 28;//Maximum number of movieclips - this value is actually taken from XML

I have a site with a simple SWF that shows a series of frames for a cartoon each time the 'next' button is clicked. At the last frame I want to place a space for an ad such as Google Adsense. Is there a way to insert the Adsense code inside the Flash SWF so that it only displays on a particular frame?
