I wasn't sure if I were to put this in the Actionscript forum or in here, so I put it in here. I'm making a small test for a game so I made two attached movieclips to the stage. I got them to move at each other, but when they hit, it doesn't detect it. Is there anyway i can make them hit eachother? Heres the code

I have 23 movieclips on Stage. Each one is a class of 'point', and has been given an instance name of p1, p2, p3, p4 etc.I want to reference them in code, and then get their x and y co-ords eventually.How do I make them accessible variables in AS3? in AS2 I would have put them into a for loop, and said
Code:
for(i=0,i<23;i++)
{
[code].....
I have this current simple setup:
- MOVIECLIP1, with more than 30 run-time drawing shapes that modify on enterframe.
- and MOVIECLIP2, wich should contain an exact copy of MOVIECLIP1 drawed data.
The point is that MOVIECLIP2 will be as a "reflection" or "shadow" of movieclip1. I won't need to do any interaction with it, only apply filters. Is there anyway that this can be possible - rather than having to draw the same shapes twice on both movieclips?
I'm creating a highscore list like this:
code: function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
var scoreXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
var playerResult:MovieClip;
[code]....
I have a MovieClip with the linkage name of "playerResult" in the library. For every loop it takes the scores+names from the xml and displays them by creating a new instance of "playerResult" and attaches them one by one under each other.I need to be able to remove this highscore when it's not longer needed, thus (the most important part) freeing up memory. So I can then use the same code to show the scores again without doubling the memory it uses every time.
code: function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
var scoreXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
var playerResult:MovieClip;
[code]....
... so I now have a name for each instance (playerResult0, playerResult1...) but still can't come up with a way to remove them.
The scores are displayed like this:
1 name score
2 name score
etc...

[AS]function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
var scoreXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);

I am using the following script in a MC to produce an empty movieclip and fill it with evenly spaced movieclips on demand.[code]The last piece of code repeated below should remove one of the attached movieclips when it is created then remove its iteration from the array and loop through all movieclips after it in the array and minus 30 from their y coordinate:[code]When I trace Wine[mc] it produces a list of names of movieclips after it in the array as it should, and the movieclip is removed as it should but the coordinates of the other movieclips remain unchanged.
View 1 RepliesI want to add a "progress meter" whenever the user goes to the next question (whether the question was answered correctly or not). I want to attach movieclips along the bottom line, and I want the user to be able to specify some color and shape preferences for these "progress meter" elements. I'm bilingual, so I included my original, french comments (pour tous ceux qui sont francophones).
English:
Code:
function ajouterBalle(couleur, etat) {
var posX = (quelleQuestion*(640/ballesTotales))-(640/(ballesTotales*2));
this.attachMovie("mc_balle", "balle"+quelleQuestion, quelleQuestion);
this["balle"+quelleQuestion]._x = posX;
[code]....
mc_balle is actually just a movie clip with 3 keyframes, with shapes made of a fill (and no border).
I call upon the ajouterBalle function this way, which is supposed to create a "balle" or "progress meter node" using the right shape and color:
Code:
ajouterBalle(0xFF0000, 2);
The balls position themselves in the exactly right fashion and shape...but the color doesn't apply! So I'm wondering where is the problem. Perhaps with the dynamically created color contructors? Or the line just after, when I set the color?I am able to change the color of a background movieclip (read: non-attached) with no problem, but the dynamically created ones don't work...
I am thying to create a movieClip class that has a button attached at the right corner, and then load multiple instances at the stage. My problem is, that although one MovieClip is loaded correctly, all the rest have no button attached! How is that possible? what am i doing wrong???Also i would like to note, that besides the button i am attaching one more movieclip with and image (from a loader)Let me show you what I mean:
package multi{
public class Multi extends MovieClip{
var rightButton:SimpleButton=new SimpleButton();
[code]....
How would I go about writing a function that looks at an mc (empty mc) and deletes any attached movie clips (if there are any).

View 3 RepliesI have dynamically attached a number of movieclips inside a another movieclip on the stage, and now I want them to act as buttons, but I can't work out how. They are named as they are created, so I know I can target them, but as to how to assign an onRelease functions to them I have no idea.I don't want to hard code a load of onReleases, as the number of movieclips will change depending on outside data, how I could do this with a loop or something, given that I have an array of their names?

View 1 RepliesI need to remove some movieclips that are attached dynamically so they do not show up underneath the new movieclips that will be attached when a user clicks the next button. I've tried removeMovieClip with little success. I am able to remove one or two of them, but not all. I need all of the previously attached movies gone.
Here is the as2 for it.

On my stage I have 2 empty MC holders, each of them in a seperate layer. In the bottom mc holder called 'map' a map image is loaded from my XML file using MovieClipLoader. This works fine.
What I want to achieve is that on top of the map, 24 PNG images with Alpha channels are loaded into seperate MovieClips attached in MC holder 'projects'. For every PNG image a MovieClip from my library is attached in order to determine the hit shape of the PNG image. This works fine too!
However all of sudden my first 2 MovieClips with the PNG images in it dissapear as soon as all of the images are loaded. But when I roll over on of the other MovieClips they suddenly show up again and when rolling out they dissapear again!
It has nothing to do with my XML file nor my PNG images, because when I move my first 2 XML nodes (the ones that are dissapearing) to the end, 2 different MovieClips dissapear! It worked absolutely fine before but since I added 2 more MovieClips the problems started. It almost looks like I can't load more then 22 PNG images, but that would be extremely weird.
I tried creating the first half of the MovieClips in one MovieClip and the second half in a different MovieClip, but that doesn't change anything. But when I create the first half of the MovieClips in the _root and the second half in a MovieClip, only 1 MovieClip dissapears instead of 2!
I really don't get it. I'm totally confused and lost since I don't know what else I could try.
Here's my AS2 code:

The proposed task has to do with the creation of an application in which the user will be able to insert, drag&drop and remove rectangles. The properties of each rectangle (name,x,y) should be saved in an xml instance.
1.Create a vertical toolbar with the above buttons:
a.new rectangle
b.move
c.delete
2.Create a movieclip that will be your workspace on the right of your toolbar named stage.
3.Create a function that will be triggered by the new rectangle button and will attach to the stage rectangles as movieclips named rectangle(i) (rectangle1, rectangle2,...).
4.Create a function that will be triggered by the move button and will drag and drop a selected rectangle.
5.Create a function that will be triggered by the delete button and will remove a selected rectangle.
And what I have done so far is:
i = 1;
newrectangleButton.onRelease = function() {
stageMC.attachMovie("rectangleID", "rectangle"+i, i);
stageMC["rectangle"+i]._x = Math.random()*stageMC._x;

is it possible with AS3 to see the list of the movieclips that are on stage?
View 13 RepliesI need to add 5 cubes made from container movie clips to the stage. So far I have added the container movie clips to the stage, given them instance names and then referenced them in code from there. e.g.
ActionScript Code:
cubes.cubef(cube0);
cubes.cubef(cube1);
[code]....
(cubes.cubef is the function for creating the cube from the container movie clip)So I was wandering if I could dynamically and add the clips to the stage from the library by just using code. I have tried this so far:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
var cub:MovieClip = new cube_mc;
[code]....
From that code, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at cubes$/traverseParents()
at cubes$/cubef()
at rota_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
EDIT: I have solved this. I used an array for storing the instances then refer to it.

var cubeArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}
I'm having a hard time trying to accomplish this. I want to have several different movieclips on the stage, either added there when making the fla or dinamically created through AS3 and I want them to be controlled by a certain function. I read the blue circle tutorials on this site but I'm not sure I got it right I have done something similar to this (not posting the real thing because it's not in English and too long):
public class blabla
private var variable1
private var variable2
[Code].....
I'm not sure what to do to have the function work with different movieclips using different arguments. I could change this for an instance name, for example, but then I would have to do a function for each mc and that wouldn't make any sense. It would be cool if I could give the instance name as an argument but I don't think that's possible.
I have one MC on stage with instance name "box". That MC duplicates by using this script:
Code:
duplicateMovieClip (box, newname="box2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
box2._x = xPoz;
box2._y = yPoz;
So the new MC is now called "box2".
Inside original MC "box", I have one button. After click on that button, I need to know on which MC I clicked. box, or box2. I tried to use:
Code:
trace (this._name);
But, that get me only instance name of the button.
i made this code that duplicates a movie clip randomly in the stage but i want it to be duplicated out of the stage.
