Chcking on the existence of a clip by its instance name

Hey, I'm working on a few things as2 and in one function, I used

_root.attachMovie ("box_mc", "box", + boxCount, _root.getNextHighestDepth ());

To fix a few boxes on the stage (expected 100 +)...

what I want to do is now (since a different function) checks if a box is in the string of the name of the instance, for example ifMovieClipExists("box3");

is there a function that will do it?

See you soon,.
Jamey

movieclipexists = _root.box3 <> undefined;

will be true if the item exists and false if not

  • How to get the instance name of the Clip?

    Hello!

    Is there a way to get the name of the instance of an element of travel when he's on the stage?  In my dress up game, I need to know which elements are on the doll to keep them visible.  My drag and drop feature uses a table and currentTarget:

    var dragArray:Array = [Doll.Drawers.Dress1, Doll.Drawers.Dress2, Doll.Drawers.Dress3, Doll.Drawers.Dress4];
              
              for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) 
                {
                        dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
                        dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
                        dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item_onMouseUp);
                }
    
    
    function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void 
              {
                   var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                   clip.startDrag();
              }
      
    function item_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void 
              {
                   var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                   clip.stopDrag();
                   if(clip.hitTestObject(Doll.Skins))
                        {
                                 //Here's where the problem starts!   ----------------------------------------------  //
                                  trace("It's on the doll!");
                        }
              }
    
    

    It can run this code.  However, instead of plotting "It's on the doll!", I would like to transform the currentTarget in its instance name, which should be "Doll.Drawers.Dress1" etc. and to register this name in a table.

    How can I do this?

    I looked into e.target.name, but I keep getting errors...

    Use the name property of the item (if it is the movieclip that you want the name):

    var dragArray:Array = [Doll.Drawers.Dress1, Doll.Drawers.Dress2, Doll.Drawers.Dress3, Doll.Drawers.Dress4];
    
              for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++)
                {
                        dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
                        dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
                        dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item_onMouseUp);
                }
    
    function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
              {
                   var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                   clip.startDrag();
              }
    
    function item_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
              {
                   var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                   clip.stopDrag();
                   if(clip.hitTestObject(Doll.Skins))
                        {
                                 //Here's where the problem starts!   ----------------------------------------------  //

  • MC placed several times and given the same instance name?

    Hi all, I'm pretty new to the code in flash.

    I especially used to use object oriented programming, but in flash, I do everything in an image.

    I'm a car game. A little style GTA, but very simple. You are a police car and chasing you a thief through a city.

    The thief uses ground nodes to know where it can lead, and where he can turn.

    Basically, here's the scene. I placed these objects directly on the stage and given some of them instance names. :

    _________________________________

    |      O

    |  I have o

    |            _______________________

    |            |

    |            |

    |            |

    |            |

    |      ^     |

    |      |     |

    |     X     |

    The is a MC named node_switch.

    The O is the two objects of the same MC, who both are named node_stop

    The X is the thief (mc), and it's driving up along the road.

    When the thief strikes node_switch, it will look up, down, left and right if any node_stop is placed.

    This is done with hitTestObject. the thief 'beams' invisible in 4 directions, inside it's MC.

    The problem is as follows:

    When several nodes are placed on the stage, the thief faces only one of them.

    As I said, they have the same instance name.

    Is there a way to be able to place them directly on the stage, give them all the same instance name and make a loop where it goes through each of them and check the collision?

    Edit:

    Or maybe it is possible to place them directly on the stage, give them the name of bodies such as 'node_switch01', 'node_switch02' and then check for them all at the same time in a loop for or in some other way? There will be a lot of knots, then...

    If you name them all differently, you will have an easier time of it.  Loop through them with the naming convention, you suggested that you can use the notation of support, but it would be easier to get rid of zeros...

    for (var i: uint = 1; i<=numNodes;>

    {if (Thief.hitTestObject (this ["node_switch" + String (i)])}

    don't go that way

    }

    }

    I used to be able to do this, very easy, but when I opened my iMovie last night I wasn't able to select parts.  Now, it seems to select the clip and I don't want to do that.

    Is there something I need to change in my preferences - or changed iMovie and select only the parts of a clip is no longer an option?

    Apple "final cut pro 7", high res Pro 422lt 1920 x 1080 (odd) clips, is this gradual?, no sequence definition 1080 progressive

    How can I make sure that I have the best setting of the timeline for my clips. I did all the settings of Mount clips but there is no progressive setting for 1080 p. Images originally dslr Nikon that I used mpeg streamclip to convert to prores. Thanks for your help!

    The frame for you size source of material is HDTV 1080i (16:9). That only sets the size of the image, not the domination of the field, it's what makes progressive or interlaced. The reason it's labels with the 'i' is that when FCP7 was abandoned by Apple, they have never updated the software in order to take account of 1080 p contents.

    To make your progressive sequence, set the dominant field to None.

    In your screenshot of the properties of the element for your clip to the source, the material is interlaced. At the original camera file interlaced or progressive?

    Also, the fps footage was actually 30 original and 29.97 not standard?  30 images/s is very limited its use.

  • How to lock the start of a clip to a specific bar

    I'm working on a soundtrack to a movie, and like most people do this kind of work, I need to work with different tempos. I started with the clip, I placed so that the visual cue would correspond to 5 1 1 1 bar in my project of logic. Is where the music starts.

    Now, I'm experimenting different tempos. Problem is: whenever I have change the tempo of the project, the film desynchronises, which is, I have to manually position the region video on the song from the movie so that my reference corresponds to 5 1 1 1 bar again. It becomes a nightmare since I created different alternatives, each with a different tempo.

    I tried to create film markers or markers smpte-locked, and they work very well, because they stick to the time code, not on the bars, so whenever I change the tempo they keep in sync with the film. Remains the major problem remains: the beginning of the clip changes its position, so I have to manually synchronize in the top bar of my song (5 1 1 1).

    What I would do is, lock the clip to a specific bar (in my case, 5, 1, 1, 1) so that whenever I change the tempo of the project my visual cue is in harmony with my first bar. Is this possible?

    I looked around many forums and found many similar questions, all dating from 8 or 10 years, so it seems that it is something that has been around for some time and did not have a proper fix. Any help is appreciated!

    FOUND A SOLUTION!

    After digging a bit in the logic of the user manual, I found a solution. I'm posting it so that everyone who has had the same problem can find the answer here!

    Under "Project settings", there is a tab called synchronization. There will find you:

    Position bar: (1 1 1 1) plays to the SMPTE (00:00:00:00.00)

    This is the default, and he said logical that the first bar must synchronize with the first frame of the SMPTE. So I changed it to the following:

    Position bar: (5 1 1 1) plays to the SMPTE (01:00:15:11.49).

    This is.

  • Microsoft Movie Maker - cannot change the length of each clip.

    Cannot change the length of each clip on Microsoft Movie Maker.

    I clicked on 'tools', then 'options' in Microsoft Movie Maker after importing my media and organize my clips as the way I would like it. When I then click on the "Advanced" tab, image duration shows only 5 seconds with the transition period only 1.25 seconds, which is the default setting and that is also what I want. However, when I play my project in Movie Maker, it accelerates through each clip. I also noticed that when I press the title of 'Clip' in my headings at the top left and then click on 'Properties', the duration of each clip shows that only 00:02 seconds. Which is why my speed clips too quickly.

    I would have thought that setting my time of duration in the Tools section would then set in the Clips section, but this is obniously does not. I don't understand why everyone would show differently and wonder if you can help me to slow down the speed that my movie is playing.

    Thank you

    ================================
    The change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    If you switch to view "Storyboard" and select
    all of the clips as a batch (select one and the type...
    CTRL + A)... you can add the 'Speed Up, Double.
    or "Slow down, half" effect of changing the
    duration. Simply select all clips / right click
    the effect on the menu... Choose...
    Add to storyboard table.

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    If you need finer adjustment...
    the info may be useful:

    You can change the duration for each clip
    manually. Move your pointer autour the
    edge of an element until you see a double red
    arrow. Now, drag the double red arrow...
    you will see if show a ToolTip displays the duration
    train to change.

    Or... just to redo the project after changing
    the long-term: Tools / Options / Advanced
    tab.
