I found this code in an AS2 .fla and would like to use it in AS3. (The idea is to throw a random number of copies of the movieclip "star_mc" on the stage via AS).
for (var i =0;i<50;i++) {
star_mc.duplicateMovieClip("star"+i,i,{_x:Math.random()*350,_y:Math.ra ndom()*150});
this["star"+i].gotoAndPlay(Math.random());
}
I get this error message: TypeError: Error #1006: duplicateMovieClip is not a function.
at many_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I'm trying to figure out the AS3 equivalent of this AS2 code. In this example there would be 10 movie clips on the stage with instances of "mp0", "mp1" etc... The actual project has hundreds of movie clips.
PHP Code:
for (i=0;i<10;i++){
var sectorColor:Color = new Color(_root["mp"+i]);

I'm creating a simple navigation from an MC (navBtn) in the library.The MC's are added using a loop with the text on the MC's coming from an array,(in the actual code it's from XML).When the loop has finished I wanted to create a final contact button using the same
MC in the library.I'm using an if statement to determine the end of the loop
Code:
if (i>=nameArr.length) {
navCon = new Btn();

I looking at a alternative coding which use two for loop, my code is require to overwrite the value in array b into a if b has a larger value than a, after break and loop a will continue point to the next index until it has the next 'mm' value while the loop b will resume from where it was "break"

I played around with the new tween tool in CS4, and it seems that the difference is I dont see the tween arrow anymore in the timeline; and there is an easing in the property that has been added. How this has changed from the old concept finally? I see this just like putting some icing on the cake, and nothing would wow me to use this tool.

I have some AS2 code that has a lot of duplication to control various buttons and MovieClips and was wondering if it's possible to streamline this code using a 'for' loop, like I would when attaching MovieClips dynamically.Here's the code as it's currently written:

var color01:String = "0xE24C9B";

I'm creating a simple banner for my site. I found some cool landing confetti code but it seems like after it hits the keyframe with the confetti actionscript it stops and the rest of my simple timeline animations don't play. I just wanted to have a few type animations and a logo fade in and out while the confetti is falling. I removed the stop on the confetti frame and after I do that the animations play but the confetti doesn't work. This code is on the main timeline that causes it to stop
Code:
// pause after how many seconds
vSeconds = 11;
vFPS = 20;

I have a problem to use each code in for loop. I create 2 Circles in my stage with addChild code. And I gave them function ( mc.x += 2; ) and the time they get to the end of stage I gave the function ( mc.x -= 2; ) but my problem is when one of the circles get to end and wants to move to the right the other circle move with him to the right. and I think the each code in for loop helps me. but I don't Know how to use it in my actions.
my code is:
ActionScript Code:
var mc1:Circle = new Circle();
var mc2:Circle = new Circle();
[code]....
What should I change in this code to use each for loop..?
I finally completed a flash 8(AS 2.0) that uses the netdrims component/Netdrims php file, toload one mySQL database, use it, and then save new to 4different tables in that database.3. This was proven to work on my local, offline PC usingmySQL 5.x, Apache, php 5.x, and myPHPAdmin.4. As this is my first time, I want to upload the mySQLdatabase, html, and swf files to my server.(i.e. migration of completed flash,php,SQL project fromlocalhost to server)5.The host of my Linux server runs appropriate versions ofApache, mySQL, php.6. What considerations are important?Do I need to change the component path from localhost tosomething else? How do I set up the root password to the mySQL database onhe server, etc.

I start flash as3 project on Flash CS3, about one year ago. After compile it on CS4, I get this error (on Russian):
[Code]...
But I get this error only in browser (FlashPlayer10), if I run inside Flash CS4 - all works fine. And I get this error then the MovieClip with TextArea added on stage.
I have an Actionscript project that was building using Flash cs3. Project have TextFields (Text engine: classic text, Text type: dynamic text). Since I upgraded to CS5 and published, I find out that my text not rendered. I use Font family Tahoma. And I just set Font family to Tahoma again and published. After that manipulations my text start render. But when somebody else try to open my project using same Flash CS5 IDE and just published that project again without any modification - none of my text is rendered again. And that going round in circles.
View 2 RepliesI was converting an FLA to ActionScript 3 when I encountered a problem with gotoAndPlay not finding certain frame labels that were clearly there. I set up a loop to trace all frame label names and the scenes they were found in, and discovered that while the labels were all present, they were in different scenes than before. Some groups of labels that had been together in a scene were even split up across multiple scenes.
Is this a common glitch? I tried deleting one label and putting it in again, and it was still in the wrong place.
[Edit]: I added the frame numbers to my trace test and two of the labels share the same frame, and several have ridiculously high frame numbers.
how do I get this code to repeat itself continually, because it just executes once. Im not that good with listeners, i know functions and variable etc though im not that bad.
Code:
if (health<=0) { gotoAndStop("mainDead");}
Its on a frame, not a MC.

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]
View 3 RepliesIm making a transition from Java to Flash/Actionscript and Im having sort of a hard time figuring out where to write my code for my flash game loop(or engine) due to flash having "frames" unlike Java.Am I able to put the loop inside the Document class even having like game menus in the game? I havent found a way to put it in there without it always running when the flash application begins.Or should I just have the game loop called every frame? For instance, frame 4 will be level 1 and so the engine will be called out there. And frame 5 will be level 2 and ill call a different instance of the game engine there.Im just having a difficult time due to the "frames". So where would be the best place to put the game loop?
