I have an xml document that I would like to use to show MovieClips in my .fla: <linkedMovieClip>TestClip</linkedMovieClip> In my .fla, I created a symbol called TestClip and select Linkage > Export for Actionscript and named it TestClip. My code in my Document class traces the xml: var t:*= getDefinitionByName(String(slideItem.linke...
I'm having an issue with Movieclips inside my Swf resizing to the wrong dimensions. I'm currently tracing the width of the offending clip every half second, and I can see the value change to an incorrect size at some interval in the logged output. I really want to see what code is changing the width. My plan was to extend Movieclip, over...
Hi there, I'm trying to make a movieclip scale proportionally only if the item is being resize smaller than the current. Obviously I can use the ScaleX/Y values like so: if (cont.scaleX < cont.scaleY ) { cont.scaleY = cont.scaleX; } else { cont.scaleX = cont.scaleY; } I need to restrict/reset the scale proportions only in special cas...
Hello all, Thanks very much for your time! Here is my question,... public function addNewMc():void{ var newMC:MovieClip= new MovieClip(); this.addChild(newMC); } public function removeOldMc(newMC):void{ this.removeChild(newMC); } How can I create a new MovieClip within a method, which can be used throughout the class, with...
I created an AS3 preloader, and placed the code for that on frame one. I then made a symbol, and placed it in the library. It was set to NOT export on frame 1, and the fla's settings had all classes exported on frame two. There were no references to the object until frame two. Then, flash crashed whenever I compiled without the "Expor...
Hi I used some code that I found, I think even from you guys the scale an external swf being loaded onto a background movie clip. Works great with the exception that it clips some text and creates some funny diagonal lines and some poor picture quality. I have a feeling that this is down to a slight difference in sizing some where along...
Ok this has been driving me nuts for the past couple of hours and i know there is an easy answer. I have a scrollPane which has a movie clip called right_container_mc as it's source. Inside this right_container_mc I have other other movie clips called execiseBox that get added (in the correct positions on the stage) from an array with a...
Hi there, Im new here and I got a question, I need to use a movieclip on a mesh, I mean, make that the shape of my movieclip fits in a mesh, my movieclip now have a rectangular form, and I want it to adopt a cylindrical one. Obviously, I want that my moviecliip keep all its funcionality, buttons, animations, etc. Thx in advance. Cyas....
I've coded a little game, but now I realized that I should include all the actions to frame on layer called "actions". This far I've written my code to movieclip. Any help on transforming this to frame? onClipEvent (load) { yspeed = 0; lastx = 0; gravity = 0.2; speed = 5; } onClipEvent (enterFrame) { yspeed += gravi...
Hi, Im trying to build a script that attaches and positions an instance of a movieclip for each node of an xml sheet. However, I can't seem to get it to loop properly. The script is simply attaching and positioning a single movieclip according to the last node in the xml file. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?!! Here is my scrip...
I am working on a Flash AS2 script that adds an instance of a movieclip for each node in an XML file. I have also included titles for each node in the XML file and I would like to display these when a user clicks on one of the individual movieclips. I have played around with clipevents and attachMovie but for the life of me I can't figur...
I'm writing a card game in AS3. The artist I'm working with has produced (in Flash CS4) a single swf-file containing all the card graphics and animations. The structure of the fla working file looks something like this: - Scene - CardGraphics (Movie Clip) - CardFront - CardBack - CardValueImage (Movie Clip) ... In th...
Hi, folks! Easy question, that I can't quickly find an answer to online - it seems this would be in tutorials everywhere - and probably is... I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does ...
I am trying to load a swf(as3) into another As3 Swf with the Movieclip loader. After loading however Loader.width/loader.content.width returns an exaggerated value than the actual width of the swf being loaded. Any pointers on where to begin looking for the discrepancy? Thanks in advance. More Details (if it helps) The swf being loaded...
I have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then trie...
I need to move a sprite only vertically on mouse move. How do I implement it with as3? Thanks ...
I have a MovieClip object, which is exported for actionscript (AS3) in an .swc file. When I place an instance of the clip on the stage without any modifications, it appears in the upper left corner, about half off stage (i.e. only the lower right quadrant of the object is visible). I understand that this is because the clip has a regist...
Hey all. I'm working on an application that was originally intended for HTML, but I've recently concluded that the best thing to do for my purposes is to do it in Flash instead. One of the big things I need is to be able to bring in movieclips from external files and add them to my main movie at runtime (dynamic number of elements, skin...
I'm writing a card game in ActionScript 3. Each card is represented by an instance of a class extending movieclip exported from Flash CS4 that contains the card graphics and a flip animation. When I want to flip a card I call gotoAndPlay on this movieclip. When the frame rate slows down all animations take longer to finish. It seems Fla...
