does anyone know if it's possible to use variables to call objects from your library onto stage like this:I have an object in my library called Level01 as is it's linkage
Actionscript Code:
var MyMap:String = "Level01";addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,LoadMap);function LoadMap(event:Event) { var myLVL:MovieClip = new MyMap();// how do you use the variable
[code].....
onEnterFrame = function(){
_root.attachMovie(leaf,_root.getNextHighestDepth() );
}
I am using CS3. And this is all about understanding Identifier and Class from the symbol property under Linkage.
I read some articles where all are using class instead of attachMovie() method on TimeLine.
Its confusing to me and couldn't able to make it work.
The article I read says that attachMovie() method will be in class file.
I am a flash developer and I've got some experience in games and applications, but there is a problem that always comes back and that I solve in sometimes discussing manners, but I've decided to find the "good way" of doing it.Ok, here's my problem :I have a game where I set the publish setting to export in Frame 10. Most of the graphic content is already on the stage on the frame 10, but there are a few MovieClips that I add and remove using AS from the stage (a "How To Play" movieclip, for example).All the movieclips I want to use with AS are set to export in Frame 10 and are used in different custom classes.Everything works just fine if I set everything to export on Frame 1 and all my graphics are on frame 10, but not if I export in any other frame than 1.The workaround I've found is to create an instance of the objects I want to load outside of the stage, but I hate that way of doing things :I get no error if I create an instance of my movieclips through AS, but they won't show up when added to the display list (yes, I know how to use addChild )
View 5 RepliesI need to create an object in code which can then be imported to the stage. Specifically it's a circle with an ellipse cut out of it. The size and position of the ellipse masked out need to be parameterized by sliders, and the size of the circle as a whole is also a parameter which might be dragged out on the stage.
Does anyone have an example of how to programatically create an object in action script which can be imported to the library which can take parameters (or rather expose some methods) which can be wired to other things in the project like a knob or slider?
I'm trying to manipulate (in this particular case add eventListeners) objects (in this case some MovieClips) on the stage from a class that isn't the document class.
1120: Access of undefined property trans.
Now I know that it's probably a scope thing and I probably can't access stage objects directly from a non document class (as I'm doing in the code below) but I can't figure out how to access them properly.
Anyway, here's the deal:
I've got 3 dynamic text fields (called "NL", "FR" and "EN") on my stage in a movieclip called "trans". I'm trying to add eventlisteners in a second class to make them do something when clicked on.
Here's my document class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
// Import custom classes.
[Code].....
How to call stage variables inside movieClips
View 1 RepliesI may just be forgetting something really simple here but I'm stumped.I have 2 guys on the stage.I want one guy to do a certain amount of damage and the other to have a certain amount of health. The problem comes from having hundreds of guys coming and going and they all need to have stats attributed to them.I don't know where I could store those variables so they can be referred back to in the code. The guys on stage are all named guy1, guy2, etc. and it would be nice if there was a way to just say guy1.health and guy2.damage and store the variables in the objects themselves somehow.
Also, I already tried putting "var health = 10" in the actual objects in the library but for some reason it takes 2 or 3 frames in game for the code to call those variables from inside the object and it causes a lot of problems. Am I missing some much easier way to do this?
I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.
I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.

View 5 RepliesI was trying to set up library movieclips to extend an abstract class so they could share common methods, but can't, as all library movieclip objects have to extend MovieClip.My second thought was then to at least insure that all of these objects - which each need their own class now -- implement the same functions -- so I have the following
Code:
public class MyClass extends MovieClip implements MyInterface and then in MyClass I have a function that implements someFunction in MyInterface.I keep getting error 1044: Interface method someFunction in namespace MyInterface not implemented by class MyClass.

View 3 RepliesI have a question about a library one would create inside a Flash document. I have a bunch of pieces of graphics objects inside a library for a FLA file. I then drag these pieces onto stage to build a more complex object. I then select all those pieces and group them and convert this new object into a movie clip. From there I move it into the library for that FLA file. I notice there is both a graphic for this object plus the movie clip for that object. To me these are 2 separate objects. So when I delete the graphic of the object, it also deletes the movie clip I created of the object.
View 5 RepliesI want to have a canvas with some "floating" property. Basically when I add child to it, the child should float at the top. When I add the second child, it should float above the previous one. For example the canvas width is 100, and I have two VideoDisplay with width 100 and height 75.
canvas.addChild(video0);
// Or canvas.addChildAt(video0, 0);
// video0 should be at x=0 and y=0
canvas.addChild(video1);
// Or canvas.addChildAt(video1, 1);
// video1 should be at x=0 and y=0, while video0 x=0 and y=75
Does anyone knows a good library that makes objects detection in AS3?
Im looking for something similar to detect an hand, like kinectic.
I've been heavily mired in 3D recently, and decided to pay a visit back to good ole Flash.
My problem is this. I'm extending the MovieClipLoader class to create a Preloader Class (yes I'm sure it's been done fifty billion times but). I'm trying to refer to a symbol in a common library, the preloader symbol itself.
Inside my class I have this
Code:
function onLoadStart(target){
baseClip.attachMovie("preloaderTemplate_mc", "preloader_mc", 500, {_x:0, _y:20, _xscale:75, _yscale:75});
baseClip.preloader_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
baseClip is a MovieClip object which takes a MovieClip passed to the constructor of the class in the FLA. (say a container movieclip which has a target clip preloaded into it) The class does load the target clip into the baseClip, but doesn't show the preloader, which makes me think I'm not referring to it properly.
I have a fairly complex symbol with a few moving parts, and I want to be able to access a label on the symbol to add text. When i just load the clip
PHP Code:
var x = new fm_Input(); // instanc in libraryaddChild(x);
it shows the default text.

I'm working with a UILoader, and I will have it display images; but the images have to be in the library to cut down on overall content size. So I have to somehow refer to images in the library by code. How can I do that? Would the following code work?

or
var photo1:Photo1InLibrary = new Photo1InLibrary();loader_mc.load(photo1);
I'll make a gallery of 122 images but I don't want to place each of them on the timeline
or I can't call them, they should be included in the exported .swf or .exe file I guess what I need is something like an actionscript that would call the images imported to the library is that possible or is there a gallery like that?

I'm currently working on a game. I'm breaking down each piece of the game into individual classes and movieclips. The intro begins by going to the main menu which is a MC in my fla library. This is called through the document class. then all actions the main menu MC performs are commanded through the MainMenu class. When starting the actual game, MainMenu calls a function from the document class, after it is removed from the stage, that puts an empty movieclip called Level on the stage.
