Used A "for Loop" To Create A Number Of Sprites?
Jan 31, 2010
I have used a "for loop" to create a number of Sprites.This same loop names the Sprites and places them in an array. That array is used to add and locate the Sprites on the stage. The problem I am having is when I attempt to use the Array index in a "hitTestObject" statement ie; [URL]...with the accompanying code being trace("hit"). I get "hit" displayed on the output panel,whenever "myObject" collides with any Sprite from that array. How can I make these hits spicific to the particular object from the array.

How can I add sprites in a for loop?
Example:
var my_shape:Sprite = new Sprite();
for (var i:Number =0; i<total;i++){
addchild(this["my_shape"]+i);
}
So after that I can access that shape like:
my_shape2.visible = false;

The counter displays sprites in place of number values. More experienced programmers have given me a clue. Why am I getting error # 1010. Secondly, what am I not seeing that's so obvious? I wish I went in to this with a better foundation in actionscript 3, but I'm reading and doing my best. WHAT I SEE
-dollar sign indicates a variable or array "$numbers"
-import flash.utils.Dictionary; "indicates an associative string"
-Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties
-is the associative string is fooling me? "maybe I set no values, duh"
-are the property of my symbols are set wrong?

I'm attempting to create a new MovieClip and add sprites in using actionscript, the issue is i want them to form an animation and so would have to add the sprites on different frames.
The code I have I thought would work but then I realised you cant gotoAndStop further than the last frame that currently exists within a MovieClip - so all my objects are on the frist frame of the MovieClip. Meaning that I'd have to create frames when creating the new MovieClip.
ActionScript Code:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
for (var i:int = 0; i < tilesForClip.length; i++) {
mc.gotoAndStop((delay * i) + 1);
var tile:Bitmap = drawTile(tilesForClip[i]);

I'm developing flash applications in actionscript with a simple text editor rather than the gui flash fx mx whatever-they're-called and it's working out quite well. But there is one particular feature that I don't know about how to use without such a flash-creating-application.
Is it possible to maintain some kind of a library of movieclips? (drawn with the graphics class) In such a way that you can create an instance of it without having to draw it all over again, just copy it?
right now I'm using something like this:
PHP Code:
function drawACar():MovieClip { var car:MovieClip; /* draw it */ return car;}var shortCar:MovieClip = drawACar();var longCar:MovieClip = drawACar();longCar.width *= 2;
how i could create hundreds of such cars without having to draw them hundreds of times? I thought about copying them but that doesn't seem to be possible.

I don't know if the title is misleading as the image I'm loading is actually a sprite image consisting of a multi-state button. I want to load this image and split it into several display objects (sprites?) in AS3, to create a SimpleButton with an over and down state.
Right now I'm just loading the image with Loader and URLRequest, and then creating a sprite from the loaded content. Is this possible or is there any other way of doing this, without having to load two separate images?

I use the Flash IDE to create Sprites and MCs really quickly, but is it better to create assets at run time using the graphics funcitons or to just instantiate things from the library?

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

Learning Action script and programming so I apologize that the solution is simple, I just don't know what it is. What I want to happen is to pass objects through that I want to fall down the screen. I pass the object in through e:Event (which comes from an event listener on the stage) and speed which gets a random number between a high and low value.When I run it, it of course gets a new random number every frame. (because its called by an Event.ENTER_FRAMEHow do I go about this to accomplish my goal?Here is my code:
private function moveIt(e:Event, speed):void
{
if ( e.currentTarget.y <= 400 )

I am creating a flash animation using flashEFF animation components. The animation isn't looping like it's supposed to be at the end of the animation, so I would like to hard-code a replay after 20 seconds. How would I use AS3 to loop reset to the beginning after 30 seconds?

I have thumbnails(jpg) which are stored into an array after beign extracted thru xml.All the button are name as their are attached to the stage via a foor loop inside an empty movieclip. The for loop used to attached the thumbs is also used to name...for eg: thumb+(i+1) etc... I then use another for loop inside a function to apply the onRelease state on them as i dont wanna write each state of each button 200 times or more.It works fine but i need to get the number of each thumb to populate different variables which are gonna be later used.

I want to use a loop to generate a number of boxes.The following code is the test loop code - set to loop just once at this stage.The problem is that it doesn't seem to like my [i] substitutions in the 'clickBox_inst[i]'.If I replace '[i]' with 1 it works.I've looked at lots of example code and can't see the syntax error I must be making (it's the first look I've tried to write).
for (var i = 1; i < 2; i++) {
clickBox_inst.duplicateMovieClip(["clickBox_inst"+i], 1);
clickBox_inst[i]._x = topLeft_x + outLineWidth;[code]....

I'm loading a variable from a .txt file into flash (per client request).The variable is as follows &ClientNumberOf=4 so the variable = 4, this works on trace, happy, joy When I try and add the variable to my for loop..[code]I've tried a slew of different options...(for example)var newVariable: Number = ClientNumberOf; Nothing works, again, trace works, but script fails to work when I try and dynamically set the loop?!

Here is the snippet of my code which is causing this error:[code]Description: Type mismatch in assignment statement: found Number where String is required.Source: for (a=0; a<cabinets[index].length; a++)Which is peculiar because when I alter it to: for (a="0"; a<cabinets[index].length; a++) { it throws no errors anymore however this is now incorrect because a is now a string.

I have a long list of images in the library linked as image1, image2, image3 etc. how do i set up a for loop that will display these images in one go (one on top of the other), i thought this would be trivial but everything ive tried doesnt work, i think i may be confusing run time with compile time with my attempts, when i set up a for loop with the iterator replacing the number (in the image name) i just get errors. Sure i could hard code every one but i find that dissatisfying.

Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.
