Xml :: Dynamic Sprites/Movie Clips?
Feb 8, 2010
Im having a hard time putting in my head on how would i go at making flash read a xml file (this part I have it going smooth) and then fromt hat elements put on the stage a sprite or a movieclip that is interactive.
To make it clear I want to load and display an image that when you press it it just creates another square beneath it with some text. I believe I have to interate the xml and then use each of the elements with a class and gettin that object onto the stage.
Im using flash builder and as3 and im looking just for pointing in the rigth direction,

I know that you can do for example onClipEvent(enterFrame) as an action for an exisiting movie clip.How do i dynamically do thisI load the movie:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip", 101);
myMovieClip._x=50;
myMovieClip._y=50;

I'm working on a project that involves making a globe in flash which will have many particular points (all the worlds major cities by using their longitudes and latitudes). It's all 2D made to look 3D.To make the "Sphere," I put together some code that stacks a bunch of ovals that creates the illusion of space, ala the code below...
//AS3
function magicTrigFunctionX (pointRatio){
return Math.cos(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
}
[code]....
Now, my problem is that in order to assign the longitude and latitude information I need to be able to address each oval individually (not only which one, but also eventually the angle/radians of each oval for the latitude) and I've run into a snag...I don't know how or perhaps exactly what to do, because I know how to make it a symbol and class if the object was already made visually using the oval tool in the tool bar, but I can't figure out (after taking a bit of time looking up on how to use arrays and classes) how to do it in the AS3 code where I actually made the "sphere."

I have loaded a swf using AS3, using the
Code:
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import fl.controls.Label;
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
so MC is called myUILoader, I want to navigate to another section of the FLA and I put an if statement on the function for the button:
Code:
function mMenuNav1(event:MouseEvent):void {
var nav:String = "home";
mmBtnsOn();
[Code].....
Why the sound doesnt stop after the child has been removed and why I can't stop the MC????

I'm using this code to create a row of movies:
Code:
var xPos:Number = 0;
for (y=0; y<5; y++) {
var emptycontainer:MovieClip = _root.holder.createEmptyMovieClip("empcontainer"+y,
[Code].....
Is there a way I can easily create an identical row of moviclips with button functionality easily (i.e holder2)? I have a feeling duplicateMovieClip doesn't support dynamically loaded content. I intend to switch the attachMovie command with a loadMovie to load Jpegs instead of movieclips.

I'm currently working on the gift cards section of a flash website for Discovery Clothing based out of Illinois. So far I have had success with every function but getting the "Add Another card" feature to work. What I would like to accomplish is displaying the input data from the Flash UI elements in a new Movie Clip to the left and then have them repeat the process to add another card. After which they would hit the 'purchase' button and see two separate items on their PayPal checkout. I was wondering if anyone might know how to do this. You can look at the Gift Cards section for yourself by visiting: [URL] then click on the "Give a Gift" wallet in the center.

Hello all. I've been writing AS1 and 2 for a loooong time but I'm just starting to get into AS3 and it's... challenging. Making my brain think differently when Flash is still Flash is tricky but I'm coming along. This is my first piece of AS3 that I'm putting together and it loads an image, creates a movie clip for it to live in and then repeats the process 9 more times. The dynamically created clips are supposed to be staggered from the bottom left to the top right. However, when I run the code it only shows the final iteration in the top right.

...and his code is almost exactly the same except for the image load. I left the image loading code out of this post since it works perfectly. There's a listener in the image load that triggers when completed and fires the function below:
Code:
var cardNum:int = 1;
function imageLoaded(event:Event):void {
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I've found some code on the net that creates a dynamic pie chart using xml.It works fine, but what I want is for it to make each slice a movie clip so that I can target the slice to show a the percentage on mouse over.At the moment all the slices is in one mc called piechart.
Code below
ActionScript Code:
var titles:Array = new Array();
var values:Array = new Array();var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I want to dynamically attach movie to the stage. This is fine. I'm able to do it. but i want to check if the dynamic movie clipe has executed all its frames (reached last frame). as soon as this happens i want to attach a diff movie clip. Is this possible? if i use the _currentframe property, it gives always 1 as the frame. it doesnt get to last frame of the dynamic movie clip.

Currently i am experiencing a problem with pulling Movie Clips from a Library and Tweening it (adding) it to the stage at runtime and then quickly removing it (addChild()) and removeChild(); I have 6 Library items, which i am interested in using.
car_mc1
car_mc2
car_mc3[code].....
My Question:
1) The name is not genereted through the addChild metho, is there an temp Add solution or something that would add on the Fly?
2)The object when working as a single object, gets Tweened out to -200, i just want it to Tween out and get Removed form the stage?
3) The Movie Clip remains on the screen while another instance is brought on when using static naming convetion (this is just to say that i have tested it),I only want the object to be available for the Tween, nothing else

I have a difficult question to explain. I have a class file that loads an external XML file, parses the main nodes into an array, then creates a movie clip instance for each of the main nodes and creates text fields inside of the movie clip instance based on the child nodes in the XML.
Each movie clip instance that is added dynamically has a movie clip embedded in it that acts as a tab. I update the dynamic text of this embedded movie clip based on the name of each main XML node.
Now where I am getting stuck is that I have attached an event listener to each tab movie clip that is inside of each dynamically created movie clip. What I want to do is when the user clicks this tab have that movie clip move to the top of the display list on top of all the other dynamically created movie clips. My problem is that I don't know how to get the references correct.
When I create the movie clips dynamically I store the objects in an array. The problem appears to be that the event is fired for a movie clip inside of the dynamic movie clip so I don't know how to reference the parent movie clip. Maybe it is something else but I don't know how to make reference to the main movie clips that I want to swap.
I hope that makes sense. My main question is how do I use the swapChildren or setChild functions when the movie clip clicked is located within the movie clip I want to change in the display list as well as the fact that this movie clip was created dynamically.

Is it possible to create a completely dynamic menu by creating empty movie clips and loading external images into them? I'm experimenting with this, but it seems there is no way to create rollover/release functions for these dynamically created MC's.

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

I have a Flash site I am developing that feeds in XML into various arrays and populates dynamic movie clips and text fields. I am having trouble making a for loop that works with my movieclips and text fields. I am probably only missing one step and if I can figure it out I will cut my lines of code about 10X. I have attached the fla and image files in a zip file.

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

I have made a for loop that makes lots of squares by making a fresh graphics object for each square:[code]Is there a better way to do it as this seems to cause massive slowdown as the game gets larger.Like if I use something from the library, I can just reuse it without making it every time (like = new telephone() ).Its like it reuses the image in each instance of the object.But is it possible to reuse in this way with shapes?

How would one go about masking movie clips that are nested within other movie clips?
I have a photo gallery slider type of thingy that loads jpegs with loadMovie into containers. I can mask the entire movie clip but as for the containers,...well I just dont know whats going on here.

After the dublication of an movie clip,
1. I would like to be able to delete one by one the new movie clips
2. I would like to move them all together.... First you press the word green and then click in the blue area.... A green cyrcle will appear.. Click the word green again and then in the blue square and a new green cyrcle will appear. I would like to move the cyrcles with the buttons arrownd the blue square... And when I press delete I would like to delete any cycle I choose... The flash is too large to attach it to the forum, if anyone is interested I can send it by mail.

I really don't need happening after spending a week figuring out why some code didn't work, only to rewrite it and have it suddenly start working. I guess it's the classic case of running into more, more serious problems right after making an extremely good breakthrough!.Anyways, my problem is that my dynamically drawn sprites with the PerspectiveProjection property set on each, all of which are contained in a movieclip (which is at stage-level), no longer have MouseEvent functionality - at this point, I think anything past regular Events no longer work, but my stack of important issues eats up all time I have to test.
Before I started having issues, I was using just a scale effect to simulate the 3D-ness of the movie. After figuring out why past attempts at using Z axis on these sprites failed, I decided to add the perspective part to the transforming of each of these sprites. Ever since then, Mouse functionality just simply does not work. No errors are thrown, no runtime errors are displayed, yet the trace function does NOT work within the functions (meaning it isn't the content of the function not working) - simply does not want to do anything!Other animations and such work perfectly fine - i.e. tweening the X, and Y values, etc

I'm using the Senocular Transform Tool to allow the user to scale an image that is loaded in. The demos work fine with sprites that are already on the stage.My setup is PureMVC and the images are loaded in, then I turn the loader content into a Bitmap and put that into a Sprite.I mimmicked the source files and added the TransformTool onto the stage level then I make the target the Sprite with the image inside.This all works and when I click on the image the TransformTool pops up and is the right size and shape. Unfortunately as soon as I try to scale or move it using the tool the image skews and scale in huge increments and goes off into the wrong directions.
I tried adding the Bitmap to the Sprite with the registration in the middle. I tried using a transform matrix to move the registration point to the center.

I have been making a memory game, where words are shown to the user. Once they have memorised the words they go to the next screen where the words that they have memorised are shown. They then have to drag each word into a "correct" place and a "wrong" place. I now want to edit it so that I can use two arrays one for correct words and one for wrong words. I want to generate random words from each of these arrays. I have sort of worked out how this is possible to do but using dynamic text, but am I correct in thinking that the whole dragging the words thing is not possible with dynamic text. (I may be wrong though, I am quite new to flash).
