Flash :: Randomly Loading Mc From Library, And Attaching Random Movie To It

Attaching Randomly Movie Clips From The Library And Controling Them By One Function
hi,

i have a very important project to do, and i'm so confused...

there are 2 main questions i can't deal with:

1. i want to add randomly movieclips from the library to my stage , but I didn't succeed (the FLA i made is attached-i really don't understand what i did wrong)

2. let's say i succeed to add the above mentioned movieclips.
how can i controll multiple movieclips by onley one function???
(especially if they were added to the stage by attachMovie method)

(what I want to do is to:
* make the movieclips move from the upperborder to the bottom, and to make them dissappear when they reach there (ofcourse this should occure till the game is over)
* change the movie clip color if it being touched by the hero of the game.

i know how to do it in generaly, but i am totaly clueless when i ned to do it for all the movieclips, especially if they are being attached to the stage onley by their linkage name.

i will be very very gratefull to any help in any kind (especially if you will direct me to tutorials in this subject or FLA files that may help).

thanks in advance.

Sound Only Attaching From Preloader Library Not Main Movie Library
Hi guys, i've got my main movie with sounds used in classes attached from the library via attachSound. works fine when run on its own, but when run through a seperate preloader swf it only works when the sound is in the preloaders library.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Randomly Attaching Movie Clips
Hi,

I want to randomly import movie clips from a 'library.swf';
(all the mc's within this .swf are linked to be exported as
"01", "02", etc.)

The code at the moment looks like this;

1st frame;
placeHolder.loadMovie("library.swf");

2nd frame;
stop ();
// mc 01
placeHolder.attachMovie("01", "my1", 2);
placeHolder.my1._x = 8;
placeHolder.my1._y = 18;
placeHolder.my1._xscale = 100;
placeHolder.my1._yscale = 100;

What I want to do is to, instead of using "01", "02", etc.
placeHolder.attachMovie("01", "my1", 2);
and use an action to randomly import movies from "01" to "50".

Any help or comments will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Lenny.

Loading External SWFs And Attaching Items From Their Library?
This was often difficult in earlier versions of Flash.. is it any easier now? How is this done?

I would like to have an empty FLA pointing to my main/document class, and have all assets load as linked library items from external SWFs. I would like to load all of the SWFs at runtime first, then once everything is loaded, have instant access to the various linked library symbols through code to place them on the stage when necessary. Is this possible, and how to structure this?

Thanks for any advice,

attachMovie(logo, logo1, 5)

What am i doing wrong?

Problem Attaching A Movie From Library
I modified the code for the hover captions that is on kirupa.com
The reason i had to try and modify it is because i am generating thumbnails from an xml document and when i want to use the hover caption it is creating the hover on the depth of -16745 or something and all of the thumbnails are on levels 1-10 or however many there are
I can't seem to figure out how to get the caption to be above the thumbnails.
here is the code i have so far, hope someone can help. but this code so far doesn't show the caption image that I have in my library
argh

Code:
captionFN = function (showCaption, captionText, bName) {
if (showCaption) {
//var caption:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("hoverCaption", getNextHighestDepth());
//trace(this.getDepth());
this.attachMovie("caption", "cap_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
//cap_mc.caption_txt.text = captionText;
if ((bName._width+bName._x+cap_mc._width)>Stage.width) {
xo = -2-cap._width;
yo = -17;
} else {
xo = 2;
yo = -17;
}
cap_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
cap_mc._x = _root._xmouse+xo;
cap_mc._y = _root._ymouse+yo;
cap_mc._visible = true;
};
} else {
delete hoverCaption.onEnterFrame;
cap_mc.removeMovieClip();
}
};

Attaching A Movie From Library After An Event?
Hi all,

my base class loads xml data and then creates the navigation etc in the handler method. In the handler tracing 'this' still returns the base class but can I cannot use this.addChild(something) to add a new MovieClip to the stage. but if I paste the same code in to the constructor or init methods then it works?? it also works if I use this.someMoveClip.addChild(something) just not directly on this? This is really confusing me, code below

Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

public class Application extends MovieClip
{
public var xmlData:XmlData;

private var _navigation:Navigation;
private var _home:HomePage;

public function Application()
{
trace('New Application');
init();
}

private function init()
{
// load the xml data
xmlData = new XmlData();
xmlData.addEventListener("onLoad", initPages);
xmlData.load('work.xml');
}

private function initPages(e:Event)
{
trace('handleXmlLoaded')

var s:Square = new Square();
s.x = 0;
s.y = 0;
this.addChild(s);

// build navigation
_navigation = new Navigation(this.navigation_mc);
}
}
}

Attaching Movie Clip From Library Problem
I am trying to attach a movie clip to my main movie using a clip from the library that is using "import for runtime sharing".

When I use the attachMovie function, the clip doesn't appear. It only appears if a drag the clip to an area off the stage.

Is there a way around this? Is it possible to replicate the process of draging in a movie in action script?

Thanks

[MX04] Attaching Movie Not In Symbol Library
I'm trying to attach a movie that I created as an emptyMovieClip to a new path (so it loads inside a masked movie clip). The code works fine when I use an object from the symbol library, but I can't get it to take a movie clip I create in the code. How could I do this? Or should I use something other than attachMovieClip?

myPhotoMC = _root["main_"+i]["fullPhotos_"+i]["photo_"+i+"_"+j];
moveClip = _root["main_"+i]["screen_"+i].area.attachMovie(myPhotoMC, "container", 3000);
}

Is there a way to just change the target path of a movie clip instead of going through all this?

Thanks!

Attaching Library Elements From Main Movie
Hi all,

I did a search on the site but all the example were other way around that I would like to implement, so will ask it straight away.

I have an external.swf movie that I am loading into the main.swf movie. I want to display a movieclip from the main.swf library in the external.swf. Any ideas how this could be achieved?

I have set the linkage Id for the movieclip in the main.swf but I am not able to load it. Obvisouly if I bring the clip into the external.swf it will load nicely. I am using the attachMovie() method.

Thanks

Attaching Movie Clips From Library With ActionScript
Hello,

I'm trying to target a button within a movie clip that is loaded using ActionScript and I'm having some trouble. Here is my issue: I have two movie clips which reside in the library of my main file called "screenOne_mc" and "screenTwo_mc". Both movie clips contain identical buttons with an instance name of "nextBtn." Both movie clips have linkage identifiers which exactly match their library names. On frame 1 of my main timeline I have the following script:

// attach clip
attachMovie("screenOne_mc", "s1", 0);
swapDepths(0);

// remove ScreenOne_mc and attach ScreenTwo_mc
s1.nextBtn.onRelease = function() {
removeMovieClip("s1");
attachMovie("screenTwo_mc", "S2", 1);
}

// Trace the s2 button clip
this.s2.nextBtn.onRelease = function() {
trace("s2 has been clicked");
}

Attaching screenOne_mc works as does attaching screenTwo_mc, the issue that I'm having that the click of s2.nextBtn doesn't work. I suspect that I'm just incorrectly targeting the the movie clip but I'm just not sure where it is?

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Attaching Random Clips To A Movie
Help needed! - I'm starting to learn Flash and actionscript and would apreciate any help. I need to build an animation with images that cross-fade randomly at the same time as text. There are 2 areas; the image area and the text area so there will always be both an image and text but displayed at random. I know how to set up the clips with animation tweens to fade them in and out, but am not sure how make them random or how best to attach them to the movie. Also is a preloader required for this kind of animation? What is the best way to go about this, I want to do it right from the start.

Thanks

Load Random Movie, Randomly Plays Next

Attaching Movie Clips To Random Locations?
Hi, when attaching a movie clip to the stage, how do I attach it to a random location? By default, all the attached movie clips are ending up at x=0, y=0....

Attaching Multiple Random Movie Clips
Why is the attachMovie overwriting previous carnations of my MovieClip. I thought that the "+ i" in "MC_Big" + i would solve that problem. Anyone have a suggestion?

var i = 1;

obj2 = new Object();
obj2.interval = function(s) {
attachMovie("MC_Big", "MC_Big" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:330, _y:220});
trace("AddMagic function added");
}
setInterval( obj2, "interval", 2000, "interval function called" );

Thanks!

Attaching Btns Randomly From An Array
I spent the past couple days learning this stuff so I know my a.s. might be a little jacked up. Anyways, I want to place 5 questions randomly from the library using linkage onto(or into) 5 empty mc's on my stage. I got the randomization of the instance names to work out and tried calling to them using "array name[array #]". Well you can see for yourself... what am I missing.

Array.prototype.randomize = function() {
var i = this.length;
if (i == 0) return;
while (--i) {
var j = Math.floor(Math.random()*(i+1));
var tmp1 = this[i];
var tmp2 = this[j];
this[i] = tmp2;
this[j] = tmp1;
}
return this;
}

var arr = new Array("q1_ans1","q1_ans_2", "q1ans_3", "q1ans_4", "q1ans_5");

/*trace(arr.randomize());
trace(arr[0]);
trace(arr[1]);
trace(arr[2]);
trace(arr[3]);
trace(arr[4]);
trace(arr.length);*/

this.empty1.attachMovie("arr[0]","arr[0]",1);
this.empty2.attachMovie("arr[1]","arr[1]",2);
this.empty3.attachMovie("arr[2]","arr[2]",3);
this.empty4.attachMovie("arr[3]","arr[3]",4);
this.empty5.attachMovie("arr[4]","arr[4]",5);

Loading / Attaching Movie
hi guys,

I am trying to load a movie at a particular level .. using the following script, but it is not working.

Code:
loadMovieNum("a.swf", 2);
I tried hard to make this code working but failed, then i though may be i should use "loadMovie" to load "a.swf" at the target DUMMY movie. for this i did this...

at the first frame of my movie i wrote

Code:
_root.attachMovie("bg", "bg", 2);
the code worked fine and the movieClip "bg" was loaded from library to the stage, but it was loaded at level0 ... instead of level2.

and then when i used loadMovie for this target movie ... it occupied the "root" which it should be.

can you people help me to load the movie at some other level ... i am sucked by AS-2 to load a movie.

Actionscript - Randomly Loading Movie Clips - PLEASE HELP
Hi,

I am trying to create a side banner Flash graphic on my website that randomly loads (one of 15 different) movie clips. Then, I need the clips to play back to back in random order - sort of like a non-interactive randomized image veiwer that plays while the end user veiws the webpage. Can anyone help me with the code? I am an actionscript novice, so I'm not sure how to approach this problem. Is it more efficient to load movie clips from the library, or an external folder?

Also, the clips are images that fade in and out (alpha) - one image per movie clip. How can I code these movie clips so that they fade in for 45 seconds, stay for 20 seconds, and fade out for 15 seconds?

I would appriciate any help...
Thanks,

MX 2004 - Randomly Loading Movie Clips (help Meh)
I need to make something that mimicks The Dancer over at http://www.globz.com

I've created all the movie clips
but I don't know where to start with the loading and unloading of the dancing bits

The buttons at the bottom scroll through movie clips with different movement. So the "arms" button would load arms01, then when it's clicked again, it would load arms02, clicked again it would load arms03, and then repeat when it reached the end

Can anyone help me with the actionscript that would reside on each button?

Randomly (externally) Loading Movie Clips
I have a section in my site that I want to be able to load random swf's from a folder on the server. So basiclly I will publish 5 or 6 diff movies that I would like the main movie (embeded in my main page) to grab one, play it then grab another or the same one again. Does anyone have the code to do this? It does not sound to tough to pull off. Of course I was thinking of maybe having preloaders in the begining of each swf, unless that is a bad idea. Thanks

Attaching Mc From Library In AS3
Hello:
I´m searching, not finding some help about attaching MCs from library to stage with AS3. I can´t understand what´s the problem. I´ve tried dozens of solutions but without success. Please anyone has an idea.
Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:
function boton(nombre_mc:String, other_mc:String){
this[nombre_mc].buttonMode = true;
var container_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(container_mc);
var theClassName:Class = getDefinitionByName(other_mc);
var theClass:MovieClip = new theClassName();
this[nombre_mc].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, efecto);
function efecto ($event:MouseEvent) {
$event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(2);
var caraBio:* = new tempClass();
container_mc.addChild(theClass);
}
}
boton("First_mc", "FirstAA_mc");
The First_mc and the FirstAA_mc are both linked with the same name to AS.
When I test the movie, it says:
error 1046
error 1118
error 1180
Anybody knows how to meka a function to attach a library MC.
Thanks.

Attaching Scrollbar From Library
Hi

I'm trying to use the Flash MX scrollbar in MX 2004 but I am having problems with it. If you are wondering why I don't use the MX 2004 textarea component, it is because it is pants and has more bugs than your average garden.

I'm creating my textfields using createTextField and then attaching the scrollbar from the library thus:

/////////////////
_root.question_mc.attachMovie("FScrollBarSymbol"," insScroll_mc",100);

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc.setScrollTarget("_r oot.question_mc.ins_txt");

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc.setScrollContent("_ root.question_mc.ins_txt");

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc._y = _root.question_mc.ins_txt._y;

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc._x = _root.question_mc.ins_txt._x + _root.question_mc.ins_txt._width + 25;

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc.setSize(_root.quest ion_mc.ins_txt._height + _global.textBoxSpacing);

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc.setSmallScroll(14);

_root.question_mc.insScroll_mc.setEnabled(true);
/////////////////////

I found TWO methods in the MX help for setting the target textfield for the component, yet neither seems to work. All the other changes I make to the scrollbar including setSmallScroll work, but not target.

Can any bright sparks out there shed some light on this little puzzler?

Attaching A MC From A Library And Setting Its X And Y
Hi all!
I have a movie in the library which I want to attach to the stage by code. Here's the code I've been using:

Code:
count = 0;
_quality="High";
onEnterframe = function () {
attachMovie("main", "circle"+count, count++);
};
This code works, but it puts the attached MC (circle) in the middle of the stage. How can I set its X and Y coordinates to place it exectly where I need it? I tried a few things, but the code I tried shifted the entire stage instead of that MC alone... So how can I do it?

Thanks in advance!

Attaching Several Movieclips From Library?
Hey

I have a for-loop where I want to attach several movieclips from library. I have tried:

Code:
var movie:MovieClip;

for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
movie = attachMovie("MCname", "MCname"+i, getNextHighestDepth);
movie._y = 31+31*i;
}
When I test the movie only the last clip shows. Is this because it only works for 1 clip. I've tried some other things like duplicateMovieClip and so on, but can't get it to work..

Attaching MC From Library By Function In AS3
Hi everyone:
I´m trying to create a mc (that works as a button). I´d like when the cursos goes over it, the mc run to frame 2 (this is obteined thanks to xxneon in other thread) and also that it put a mc that exist in the library.
If the mc is with the "export for as" checked, and the name is MC_mc, why this doesn´t work:

ActionScript Code:
function boton(nombre_mc:String, cara_bio:String){
this[nombre_mc].buttonMode = true;
this[nombre_mc].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, efecto);
this[nombre_mc].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, inicio);

var caraBio:cara_bio = new [cara_bio]();
addChild(DisplayObject(caraBio));
}
function inicio ($evente:MouseEvent) {
$evente.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
boton("other_mc", "MC_mc");
(other_mc is in the stage yet)

Attaching Objects From Another Library
I have the following scenario: I have a main.swf, and it loads a lib.swf, in which library are some movie clips that I want to attach in main.swf. Is it possible? (PS: I do not want to attach the symbols inside the loaded lib.swf. What I want is to use lib.swf's library in main.swf).
Thank you.

Attaching MovieClips Not In The Library
I'm just coming back to Flash after not using it for a few years, and I'm struggling with a particular aspect of ActionScript 2 (I'm still using Flash 8). I am creating something along the lines of an image grid or "video wall" of still images. The image grid will randomly show different images, and I want any cell in the grid to have access to the full array of images to choose from.

I want to dynamically load in the individual PNG bitmap files from the server to facilitate swapping them out, rather than baking them into a SWF. At the root level, I've managed to use MovieClipLoader to load my PNG files into a dynamically generated array of MovieClips. My image grid is a bunch of instances of of a MovieClip which contains a mask, decorations, and a placeholder MovieClip for the images.

What I can't figure out how to do is attach the PNGs to the placeholder clips. It seems like my two options are attachMovie and attachBitmap. However, both of them require you to specify a linkage ID to a library asset, which I do not have- I have an array of MovieClips not contained in the library!

I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Attaching A Clickable MC From The Library
Hi there,

When I click my 'hit_mc', 'hitarea_mc' gets placed on the stage from the library. When I click 'hitarea_mc', I want it to disappear.

So Ive done the following, but the newly attached hitarea_mc refuses to be clickable. How would I tell AS to make it thus ....
Thanks..

Code:
var a:Number = Stage.width/2;
var b:Number = Stage.height/2;

function attach (){
_root.attachMovie("hitarea","hitarea_mc",10,{_x:a,_y:b});

}

hit_mc.onRelease = function(){
attach();
}
hitarea_mc.onRelease = function(){
this._alpha = 0;

Attaching Sound From Library Using Variables
I´ve been having a huge problem with flash lately. I´m setting up a site using a whole lot of levels. And on one level I'm using a soundpanel to control the background music on the site. I wanted to give the user the opertunity to choose between three different types of background music. But that requires a great deal of bandwidht for the user. So I thought I´d load each song in on a different level with a preloader.

I started by setting a variable for the swf file being loaded as the sound file and another variable for the linkage identifier being used to attach the soundobject directly through the library. I then use this variable to load the sound into a soundcontainer on the soundpanel level. My problem is that the sound doesn´t even play or anything. Has anyone tried this before... or have any experience using variable with the sound object. I´ve been staring at this same problem now for days and it´s driving me insane. I´ve tried at least 7 different appraches changing the way I use the variables but nothing works.
