Keyboard Nav Through Multiple Movieclips?
Aug 17, 2011
add some functionality to the presentation template. Currently you can only move from one page to the next. So if I want an animation on a page, no problem I'll just add a stop script at the end. No big deal. But if I want Multiple animations (just trying to replace powerpoint here) then I get into trouble.
Each page is one frame on the main timeline. Hitting left/right goes to the next frame, unless the movieclip on that frame also has additional frames. Then it should move to the next frame within that, etc.
I can't figure out that if statement though. I had another bit of script going on my first go, but ran into some issues so thought it best to create all of the scripting on the main timeline. Initially I created a boolean variable, then ran an if statement. Inside of a movieclip I switched the boolean and used the same keyboard interaction to walk through it. On the last frame of that movieclip, I switched the boolean back so the main timeline interaction kicked in again. The problem is, that's a Lot of copying and pasting of that code, and I can't figure out how to go through more than one parent. I just couldn't get it to work.
Should I just be building this thing in a Completely different way? I need to make something, so for now I'm splitting up each frame that I need different animations on and creating a different movieclip for each section. Ideally that would be contained in one movieclip's timeline. Currently one each animation's interaction will be on a timeline. So I have to duplicate the slide to add an animation. So if I have a title come in, then a pie chart, then an image, then another piece of text, I'll be stuck with 4 separate movie clips.
I want something like:if current movie clip current frame is == total frames, clicking right goes to next frame, else go to next frame of it's parent's timeline.I say the parent and not stage because the way you have to set up transitions only works within a movieclip. So you have to set up the entire slideshow within a movieclip if you want transitions between each slide. Right?
I don't care about transitions for now, but will want control of those eventually.

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

I have 24 movie clips on the stage: my_menu.image_holder_mc1 thru my_menu.image_holder_mc24. I want to load an image in each one. How do I identify the holder which to add a child.
The Code I have so far is....
Code:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=24;i++){
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.name = "image_"+i;

Most flash games and interactive animations that use keyboard events are made to respond in different ways to different keys.I am working on games for toddlers, who basically just bang on the keyboard indiscriminately. The trouble I'm having is setting up keyboard eventlisteners (key_up) that each perform different function.We're talking games like: when key pressed, ducky dances; when key pressed, doggy dances; when key is pressed, ducky and doggy go to sleep. I've attempted removing the listener before adding the next one:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, doSomething);
function doSomething(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
{make it do something;

Im having a problem getting responsive keyboard movement. I have a key_up listener which fails to trigger when 3 keys are down. E.g. Imagine up and right keys are being pressed to move up + right. The user wants to change to moving up + left. The user presses the left key before lifting thg right key. I have a key_up listener to detect when a key is no longer being pressed. However in this scenario it fails to trigger when 3 keys are pressed. Even in this online example, there is the same problem, look how unresponsive it is when chaging from up right to up left really quickly. [URL]

CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worrySimilarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.

I'm working on an application and I am building a "Keyboard" component for it. There are 30 keys on the keyboard and it doesnt seem to make practical sense to create an event handler for each button. When the button is clicked, its label should be sent out to a function which adds it to a textinput field. Should I just create a "click=SomeFunction(Button.label)" for each button or is there a better/faster/less processor intensive way to do it?

click once on the screen with your mouse and then you can control the man with arrow keys on your keyboard.i can't figure out why the man turns back to the right if he is facing left if you press the up or down arrow. this is one of my first scripts,it's not set up right here is the code:
Code:
function rightKey(yourEvent:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

I have a few movieClips and I would like them to play one after the other. [At end of MovieClip play next movieClip]. Using AS3 to Tween, this is my first Clip props.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(FloatRight_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, 22.00, 495.95, 3, true);
var myTweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween(FloatRight_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 1, 0, 3, true);
How do I get the next movieClip to start playing before its completion, and so on?

I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I am making a website with complete external xml data holding text and urls to images. I have several categories. One of the category has three sub categories as menu. When I click btn1 it gets the xml and start making text field, rectangles, lines and picture frame for thumbnails. Before that I use a single movieClip container to hold all that stuff and then point it to mask and scroller too.That is working fine. Now the problem is that when I click on btn2 I want to remove previous container and make a new one.
Now what happening is that it is creating one more container of different xml and putting over the previous one. I have used removeChild command and it is still not working. It only works if I use it alone and do not create a new container. All this process is done on a movieClip. That movieClip holds container, mask and scroller. The only thing that is made dynamically is the container. Rest of the items are on the timeline of the movieClip. I need to remove container inside of the movieClip and make a new container inside the movieClip.

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);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);

I have tried this code: (Barney and mulvarp is two moles. .flytt(); is the command that gives the mole a new place to be.

I'm following a tower defence tutorial and part of the code is set up so I can build towers on the "grass" movie clip. I wanted to add more patches of "grass" and gave them all the same instance name so I can be able to place towers on them, but I have the problem that I can only place towers on the first item I placed and has the instance name of "grass". I can't seem to place towers on the other patches of grass.I removed the instance name of the first patch of grass and it let me build towers on the second patch, but the second patch only.

I have 3 movie clips in my scene and they all function properly individually.Problem: only the first movieclip will work in my test of the full scene.If I move a movieclip from the bottom to the first position in my scene, then it will run while the others are stopped I can't figure out how to tell the program to activate all 3 simultaneously - so each button (linked to one scene in the movie clip) will be available to click.The code from each movie clip essentially looks like this
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
BtnKonzertDesk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseDownHandler1);

So I'm trying to shoot multiple bullets out of my body and it all works except I have an odd problem of just one bullet showing up and updating to set position for the new ones.
I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.
The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting. Here's My Code (The Bullet it self is a class)

multiple classes and then register each movieclip from the library to a different class? It isnt working for me. I created two different classes and created two entire different movieClips and registered each movie clips to a different class. However, I can only use on movieClip at a time, when I use the duplicateMovieClip. command to create copies of the movieclip, i find that only those movieclips, whose class i declared first, appear on stage
