AttachMovie + OnRelease
Here my code ... when trace the imagem Array into for work fine.. but when put it into onRelease not work..

ActionScript Code:
var plevel:Number = 1000;var xdata:XML = new XML();xdata.ignoreWhite = true;xdata.load("dados.xml");xdata.onLoad = function() { var pqt:Number = xdata.childNodes[0].childNodes.length; var imagem:Array = []; for ( pqn=0; pqn<pqt; pqn++ ) { var peca:MovieClip = attachMovie("c_clip","clip"+pqn,plevel++); var pnom:String = xdata.childNodes[0].childNodes[pqn].childNodes[0].firstChild; imagem[pqn] = xdata.childNodes[0].childNodes[pqn].childNodes[1].firstChild; peca.nome.autoSize = "center"; peca.nome.text = pnom; peca._x = (110*pqn)+10; peca._y = 10; trace(imagem[pqn]); peca.onRelease = function() { trace(imagem[pqn]); } }}

Rename the 'dados.xml.txt' for dados.xml

Onrelease/attachmovie Problem
attaching and clicking on the movie clips in the following code works. However. the trace in the onRelease function only shows me what is in the last array record in this case "the third string" no matter which movie I click .

Can anyone show me the correct way?

ActionScript Code:
*******************moving_var = 0;text_placement = 1;my_array = array();my_array[0] = "the first string";my_array[1] = "the second string";my_array[2] = "the third string";while (moving_var < 5) { _root.attachMovie("state_text_mv", "state_list" + [moving_var], moving_var); _root["state_list" + [moving_var]].state_text.text = my_array[moving_var]; _root["state_list" + [moving_var]].onRelease = function() { trace(my_array[moving_var]); }; moving_var++;}

*******************

thanks

Can't Get 'mc.onRelease' To Work
Hi

I want to be able to do something when I click my large image (which is placed inside the mc image). The thumb.onRelease works, and when I click on it, a large image appears. But I want to be able to click on that image too! How can I do that? Here's my code:

ActionScript Code:
function loadThumb() { for (i=0; i<size; i++) { var thumb = this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i); thumb.holder = thumb.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1); thumb._x = i*50; thumb.pic = imgFolder+imgArray[i]; makeThumb(thumb.holder, thumb.pic, i); thumb.onRelease = function() { var image = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("image", 1500+i); image.holder = image.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1); image._x = image._y = 50; image.holder = image.loadMovie(this.pic); image.onRelease = function(){ trace("Pressed large image"); }; }; }}function makeThumb(th, pic, depth) { th.loadMovie(pic); var temp = this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 999+depth); temp.onEnterFrame = function() { if (th._width>0 && th._height>0 && th.getBytesLoaded()==th.getBytesTotal()) { //layer 'preloader' imgLoaded("add"); th._width = 50; th._height = 50; delete this.onEnterFrame; } };}

OnRelease Doesn't Work
Hello,

a week ago, I posted a problem that I had with the onRelease-event.

Because I'm still having the same problem I started to delete all items from my movie to find out what problem I'm dealing with.

Now I have a blank stage, 1 mc, and 4 lines of code, and it still doesn't work.
When I start a new project, and use the same lines of code, the mc-button works perfect, but in the current project it doesn't.

Does anyone know what I do need to change at my project to make those line of code work?

Multiple Functions Will Not Work Onrelease
Hello! I'm trying to put a portfolio together. I've got all the links working except I thought it would be a good idea to use the component loader to show the pictures. When I click on the button "biaalfa", i set a frame action to go to frame 41 or frame "iaalfa". Flash does this fine, but the pic "Aa1.jpg" that my loader is supposed to load, does not until I click on the button a second time. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

this.biaalfa.onRelease = function() {
myLoader.contentPath = "Aa1.jpg";
gotoAndStop("iaalfa");
}

(easy Solve?) Can't Get OnRelease To Work
OK last one I promise.

Basically the colored type in the code below is wrong, and I don't know how to fix it. I KNOW the red doesn't work, but since I've never gotten far enough for the blue part to execute, I can only ASSUME it's wrong because nothing has worked for me yet.

So here's the deal. I need to red part to point to one of the 1-5 "title" variables similar to this code (which works):

this["aud"+i]["aud"+i+"List"].text = this["aud"+i+"ListName"];

using "this" doesn't seem to work inside of a function.

And I need the blue part to point to one of the 1-5 "file" variables.

Code:
var aud1Title = "title1";
var aud2Title = "title2";
var aud3Title = "title3";
var aud4Title = "title4";
var aud5Title = "title5";
//
var aud1File = "file1.flv";
var aud2File = "file2.flv";
var aud3File = "file3.flv";
var aud4File = "file4.flv";
var aud5File = "file5.flv";
//
var aud1ListName = "hammer1";
var aud2ListName = "hammer2";
var aud3ListName = "hammer3";
var aud4ListName = "hammer4";
var aud5ListName = "hammer5";
//
//----THE FOLLOWING CODE WORKS, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT-------

for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
this["aud"+i]["aud"+i+"List"].text = this["aud"+i+"ListName"];
//
this["aud"+i].onRollOver = function() {
var color = new Color(this);
color.setRGB(0xFF0000);
};
this["aud"+i].onRollOut = function() {
var color = new Color(this);
color.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);
};
//----BELOW IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS-------------------------

this["aud"+i].onRelease = function() {
nowplaying.text = this["aud"+i+"Title"];
_root.vidPlayer.setMedia("aud"+i+"File", "FLV");
};
}
stop();
Thanks for the help

Beginner OnRelease Button Doesn't Work
please download my .fla file at (where you can also learn from (design and structure))
http://www.fzvastgoed.nl/pcxpert/michaellobry.zip

1 open frame_buttons.fla
2 go to Action panel of: frame 1 Main Timeline, layer: a.
3 this code:

PHP Code:

_root.onMouseDown, _root.onDragOut, _root.onMouseUp, _root.onPress, _root.onRelease, _root.onReleaseOutside=function () {
    trace("pleaseclickhere");
    this.pleaseClickHere_mc.removeMovieClip();
};

doesn't work, why? What it must do is: when onPress, onRelease en onReleaseOutside, then pleaseClickHere_mc movieclip must never be played again and never be seen again.

i tried every path like:
global.onPress and super.onPress
in vain

question 2:
All buttons in the movieClips:
settings_mc, searchBar_mc and homepage_mc (then go to the last frame within that MC where the buttons are), don't work. How come?, since the given path is correct, eg:

PHP Code:

this.close_btn.onPress = function() {
    this.gotoAndStop(1);
};

OnRelease Does Not Work When Loading External JPEG?
I want to display several thumbnails, each loaded as an external jpeg. When clicked, I want the thumbnail to launch into a video.

I am running into a problem after loading the thumbnail images. The onRelease method no longer works. However, if I leave out the loadMovie line, the onRelease method does work for the image holders.

Code:
// creates the empty movie clip to hold the thumbnails
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbs", 200);

for(i=0; i<videoData.length; i++)
{
// attaches a movie instance for the image holder
var curThumb = thumbs.attachMovie("thumbnailHolder", "thumbnail_"+i, 300-i);
curThumb._x = 90*i;
curThumb.id = i;
curThumb.loadMovie(videoData[i].thumbnail);

// this does not work if the loadMovie method is used
curThumb.onRelease = function()
{
launchThumb(this);
}
}
Can anyone help me understand why this is happening? Thanks!

Why Doesn't This Script Work With OnRollover When It Works With OnRelease?
I need a rollover function and so I changed onRelease to onRollover but the rollover effect then doesn't work. Can't fugure out why. Please help.

- Script is on seperate layer (on root)

- hit_mc is the movie clip on which the rollover should work

- mask_mc is the one that should tween when mouse goes over hit_mc

hit_mc.onRollover = function() {
tweenBall(mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut);
};

function tweenBall(easeType) {
var begin = 17;
var end = 200;
var time = 15;
var mc = mask_mc;
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_y", easeType, begin, end, time);
}

How Does Attachmovie Work?
this is what I understand...

MovieClip.(idName,NewName,depth)
for example:
(object the Library movie clip is being loaded to).(idName,NewName,depth)

I do not know what the rest of it really means, like the difference between idName and NewName, or where to enter some of these values, other than "linkage properties". Help?

AttachMovie From Loaded .swf Does Not Work
According to one tutorial I made a movie which load pictures as a separate clips from another movie library.swf. The script si simple:

placeHolder.loadMovie("library.swf");
if (Number(_framesloaded)>=Number(_totalframes)) {
gotoAndPlay (3);
}

loads the library movie and waits until its loaded.
Then there si something like this:

placeHolder.attachMovie("obr1", "myobr1", 1);
placeHolder.myobr1._x = -121;
placeHolder.myobr1._y = -70;

To attach clips to specific position.

The problem is, that it works perfectly on my local machine (and it does not matter, whether I acces the movie directly or via internet server), but when I place it to remote web server, to external clips simply do not appear.
Does anybody have an idea, where the problem might be?
Thanks for any help!

Why Attachmovie Won't Work With Root MC
Ok, it's like this - I was working a case on downtown lower east uptown northwest by the shoreline at the docks upstate, when in walks this dame; well, I say dame but I don't just mean any dame etc. etc.

What I mean is: how can I use attachmovie so that it's recognised by my preloader logic?
I've set the linkage so MC in library doesn't Export On First Frame so that preloader should preload.
I've also created an MC on the root with the attachmovie AS.

Does this work?
No - it does not.
It simply will not attach my library MC to the onstage MC.
Doh.

Can anybody advise me please as I would love to crack this.

Yan

Buttons Won't Work When Using AttachMovie
I'm adding a bunch of buttons to a movie using attachMovie, but they won't work no matter what.

Here's the code:

Code:
_root.gallery_mc.q.attachMovie("hit", "thumbButton" + i, _root.gallery_mc.q.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.gallery_mc.q["thumbButton" + i].onRelease = function() {
trace("It works.");
}
Note: The variable, "i", is defined. It is in a for loop which I have not included in my code.

I can see the buttons on stage, but nothing happens when I click them.

Any ideas on why nothing happens when I click the buttons?

Thanks,
Brendan Benson

Why Doesn't AttachMovie Work?
ok here is my code:

ActionScript Code:
var holder:MovieClip = mc_room.foreground_mc;
holder.attachMovie("testclip", "avatar_" + smartfox.myUserId,
holder.getNextHighestDepth());
trace (holder) //outputs: _level0.mc_room.foreground_mc
trace ("avatar_" + smartfox.myUserId); //outputs: avatar_14
myAvatar = holder["avatar_" + smartfox.myUserId];
trace (holder._x + ", " + holder._y); //outputs: 381.5, 347.5
trace (myAvatar); //outputs: undefined

There is a clip called test clip in the library and if I attach it to the stage, it works. Why doesn't it attach to the holder clip?

mc_room loads an external swf file using a movieclip loader, and when it's completed, this function is called. That shouldn't matter, should it? I'm sure the movieclip is present and I can modify it. It just doesn't let me attach the movie!
I'm really mad at this stupid thing.

Attachmovie Does Not Work On Any Other Level Than It's Own?
Hi

I have a multi-layered movie. I am loading a movieclip into one layer - it contains a variety of items in it's library all linked up and ready to be used via attachMovie command.

I can make the items appear in the movie by using attachMovie on the layer the movieclip has been loaded into. I understand I can't expect to use attachMovie to make the items appear on any other level as this just won't work.

But, is it possible to use attachMovie to make the items appear within a nested layer on the layer it has been loaded onto? Like within a movieclip within the layer it has been loaded to?

I have tried this and it hasn't worked, but maybe someone can help point out something extra i need to do.

Thanks for your help.

LoadClip And AttachMovie Don't Work Together?
Hi,

I have an empty movie clip on stage ("mc1") that I use loadClip to get a PNG in there.
Then I'd like to attach another MC to that same mc1 ("txt1").

But it won't work.
Everything else works, and I can attach the txt1 clip to other MCs on the stage, but not mc1.

var curClip = mc1.attachMovie("txt1", "tempName", mc1.getNextHighestDepth());
A trace of curClip yields "undefined" as does trace(typeof(curClip));

Am I trying to break some laws of Flash Physics here?

(Note: trace(mc1.getNextHighestDepth()); yields 0... why's that?)

Thanks!

Why Does AttachMovie Not Work After A LoadClip?
Hi, i am trying to attach a movieclip from my library to the movieclip that is loaded.
It does not seem to work. I only can attach it to the _root!

In this example i have an movieclip with an idintifier link of 'round'.

As you can see i can approach the loaded movieclip, because i resized it. I can change it rotation, alpha etc.
But i can't attach a movieclip to it? It does not make any sense.. Is there a fix for it?

Attach Code

var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

var listener:Object = new Object();

loader.addListener(listener);

listener.onLoadInit = function() {
loadinme_mc._width = 200;
loadinme_mc._height =200;
//loadinme_mc.attachMovie("round", "round_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth()); //does not work
//_root.loadinme_mc.attachMovie("round", "round_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth()); //does not work
// this.loadinme_mc.attachMovie("round", "round_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth()); // does not work
_root.attachMovie("round", "round_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth()); // only to the root??
}

loader.loadClip("pic1.jpg", loadinme_mc);

Attachmovie, Why Wont It Work?
I am getting very frusterated with attachMovie()
i have the following code on the main timeline:

Code:
this.attachMovie('pic_box', 'pic_box', 0, {_x:10, _y:10})
this.pic_box.attachMovie('load_bar', 'load_bar', 1, {_x:100, _y:100})
everything is in the library correctly.
now the 'pic_box' gets attached but the other one doesn't. if i do this:
_root.attachMovie('load_bar', 'load_bar', 1, {_x:100, _y:100})
it attaches fine.
I have a class attached to the pic_box, and if i remove the class ID in the linkage panel, it attaches the load bar. It has nothing to do with what is contained in the class because if i comment out all the code but the:
class name {}
it still doesn't work.
I am REALLY stumped...

Cannot Make AttachMovie Work
Hello Flash experts!
Can anyone help me with attachMovie?
(I'm using FlashMX)
I'm probably just being thick but I can't find an explanation of how to use this actionscript.
I have a movie clip in my library called "stage1"
I have a movie clip on the stage called"Intro"
I also have an empty movie clip on the stage called "holder"
When "Intro" stops playing I want "stage1" to be automatically loaded onto the stage.
I have tried putting this script in the last frame of "Intro"

_root.holder.attachMovie("stage1","movie1", 100);

But it does not work.
Should I have some sot of event trigger around this script e.g.
on (enterframe) {
_root.holder.attachMovie("stage1","movie1", 100);
}

Please help if you can, this is driving me mad!
Many thanks

How Does AttachMovie() Work On Low Bandwidth?
I'm creating a slide show that a low-income user base will be viewing. So, I'm assuming they are mostly on dial-up connections. To streamline the production, I want to use the attachMovie() function and pull the images straight from the library (so I don't have to build out every photo and tween).

What I'm wondering is this: how will this run on a dialup connection? Since the photos aren't actually placed on the timeline and are pulled only when called, how can you do a preload or proper loading bar?

Is it possible to simple dump all the photos off stage on frame one -- will that work as a preloader, or will each still load individually when called with attachMovie?

Any advice or best practice info will be very helpful.

Thanks.

Attachmovie In A Loop ... Doesn't Work
Hi everyone ,

i'm working on a memory game (matching pairs) . Item's masks (12) will be put on the stage with a attachMovie() inside a loop . Then every mask will be move to specific location (items positions). All the positions (x & y) are in arrays (chartX, chartY). When i execute this code only the 12th item is placed on the stage. Looks strange to me. Can anyone help me please, please ...

for (i=1; i<=12; i++)
{
indexArray = i-1;
_root.attachMovie("myMask" , "mask"+i, 1);
maskName = "_root.mask"+i;
eval(maskName)._x = chartX[indexArray];
eval(maskName)._y = chartY[indexArray];
}

TIA

[F8] Attachmovie Doesn't Work With Hittest?
I have a moving movie clip in my game, and due to some problem caused by an actionscript class I'm using, I can't use hittest on the movie clip itself. So, I tried to attach another movieclip to my original using attachmovie. When I try to hittest the attached clip, it doesn't work either.

I tried it with a rectangle movie clip just to make sure I was doing it right. I discovered that if I attach a rectangle to my original rectangle, hittest doesn't work on the attached clip. However, if I hittest the original clip, the attached clip is used as part of the original clip.

So, is there any way to fix this? All I want is something to move with my movie clip that I can use hittest on.

Hey so I've just got some class called foo and foo has a method called bar. Bar wants to use attachMovie and call an ID from the library like so:

ActionScript Code:
class foo {
var myMC:MovieClip;
function foo() { /* ... constructor ... */ }
function bar() {
/* myMC is defined and on stage */
myMC.attachMovie("candy","candy_spawn",myMC.getNextHighestDepth());
}
}

But this, alas does not work.

My FLA uses import foo; and it seems that the class foo cannot access the FLA's library. Yes I have it checked to export for actionscript and export to first frame with identifier "candy"...

Is this just illegal?

AttachMovie Doesn't Work Inside For Loop
I have an xml file with 26 elements representing the alphabet so i can make a glossary (glossary.xml)

I am trying to attach a MC (pointer) for each letter/element in the xml file and add in the appropriate letter to a textbox (alpha_id) inside the MC.

However for some reason attachMovie won't work inside my for loop. Can anyone help me out here?

here's my code:

Code:
//load xml file
var external_xml:XML = new XML();
//ignore all extraneous whitespace
external_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
external_xml.load("xml/glossary.xml");
external_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
temp_xml = this.firstChild;
lgh = temp_xml.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<lgh; i++) {
var alpha = temp_xml.childNodes[i].attributes.id;
//have also tried 'this._parent' as an experiment - no luck
this.attachMovie("pointer", "pointer"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());

this["pointer"+i]._x = 40;
this["pointer"+i]._y = 40+(i*(this["pointer"+i]._height+10));
//there is a textbox instance named alpha_id in the mc pointer to accomodate each letter of the alphabet
this["pointer"+i].alpha_id.text = alpha;
}
}else {
trace ("Error");
}
};

AttachMovie() Doesn't Work Properly When Swf Is Loaded Externally
I'm using Actionscript 2 in CS3.

My problem is a little bit hard to explain, so I just try to make it as clear as possible . . .

I have a main swf, which loads another swf using loadMovie, like so:

PHP Code:

loadMovie ("photogallery.swf", _root.empty_mc);

This swf (photogallery.swf) then loads other external movies depending on which button is clicked, in the same way:

PHP Code:

loadMovie ("ranges/obsession.swf", _root.empty_mc);

The other external swfs (such as "obsession.swf" in the example above) are slideshow galleries which load clips from the library using attachMovie(), show them for an amount of time specified by an interval, then attach the next movie over the top.

The code for these is a bit long winded, but looks like this:

PHP Code:

stop();

delay = 9000;
total = 7;
p = 0;
currThumb = "";
prevThumb = "";
names = new Array ("one_mc", "two_mc", "three_mc", "four_mc", "five_mc", "six_mc", "seven_mc");
xPosition = new Array (130, 97, 165, 128, 73, 131, 101);
yPosition = new Array (25, 104, 52, 52, 52, 22, 47);
th_names = new Array (th_one_mc, th_two_mc, th_three_mc, th_four_mc, th_five_mc, th_six_mc, th_seven_mc);

firstImage();

function displayPictures (pic, xPos, yPos)
{
    tran_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
    empty_mc.attachMovie(pic, "pic_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});
};

function nextImage()
{
    if (p < (total-1)) {
    p++;
    displayPictures(names[p], xPosition[p], yPosition[p]);
    currThumb = th_names[p];
    currThumb.gotoAndPlay("over");
    prevThumb = th_names[(p-1)];
    prevThumb.gotoAndStop("up");
    picture_num();
    slideshow();
    }
};

function firstImage()
{
    displayPictures(names[p], xPosition[p], yPosition[p]);
    currThumb = th_names[p];
    currThumb.gotoAndPlay("over");
    prevThumb = th_names[(total-1)];
    prevThumb.gotoAndStop("up");
    picture_num();
    slideshow();
};

function slideshow()
{
    myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);

    function pause_slideshow()
    {
        clearInterval(myInterval);
        if (p == (total-1))
        {
            p = 0;
            firstImage();
        } else {
            nextImage();
        }
    }
} ;

So far, so good - the swfs all load OK and the galleries work how they should . . . the first time around. But if you click a button in the main swf that takes you a different part of the timeline, then return to where you were (i.e. loading both lots of external swfs again), the galleries go a bit haywire - the first interval gets very short, much less than the 9000 milliseconds it's supposed to be, and some of the clips in the library don't load.

I put in a series of diagnostic trace statements, and as far a I can tell from that, the code still runs through (i.e. it's not skipping anything), but for some reason it doesn't execute properly - instead of showing the first picture followed by the second, it shows the first, third, fifth; then if you click away and then back again it shows the first, fourth, seventh and so on.

I can't figure this out, because as far as I can tell, the external swfs should just be doing their own thing every time you click on them. There are no functions in the main movie that affect them or anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions or explanations? I would welcome any help that anyone could give. Sorry the post is such an epic . . .
