Remove dynamically created video clips?

Similar Questions

• Problem with accessing dynamically created video clips, returns null.

  I hope that it's a dumb question with an easy answer, if my code is pretty simple.

  I use this code snippet to create menu items, then use the variable jCount below to give the clips a like number, index in so much of (which seems to work very well):

  for(var j:Number=0;j<xmlSubMenuLength;j++){  
      var mcSubMenuItem:mcSubMenu=new mcSubMenu();    
      addChild(mcSubMenuItem);     
      jCount++;    
      mcSubMenuItem.name = "mcSubMenuItem" + jCount; 
      //traces out names correctly
      trace ("---------------------------------jCount NAME = "+ mcSubMenuItem.name); 
      mcSubMenuItem.x=mcMenuHolder.x+20;
      mcSubMenuItem.y =mcMenuHolder.y;
      mcSubMenuItem.y+= nextBtnY;
      nextBtnY+=subtopicSpace;
      global_subi.text = String(jCount); //i see the proper count of 10 in the text field
     }
     
     
  

  However, when I try to access the clips using this snippet:

    
   for(var j:Number=0;j<Number(global_subi.text);j++)//
      {   
    trace("GLOBAL SUBI = "+ String(global_subi.text));  //traces out 10, which it should
    var scSubMenuItem:String = "mcSubMenuItem" + j;   
    var scSubContent:Object = this.getChildByName(scSubMenuItem); 
    trace(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>scSubContent:Object = "+ scSubContent); //returns null!
    
   }   

  My last trace statement returns null. Anyone can see my mistake, or explain why I can't access my videos after they have been created?

  Thanks muchly,.

• Removal of the video clips in arrays

  Hello

  I have this code in my Flash file:

  for(bubble in bubbleArray){
       bubbleArray[bubble]._y -= 3;
       if(bubbleArray[bubble]._y < 370){
            bubbleArray[bubble].removeMovieClip();
       }
  }

  I wonder, when I remove the film clips should I also be burst their table?

  I have an onEnterFrame function that attaches the video clips and the drives in the array, so I'm afraid that if I don't pop the table will continue to increase in size and slow down the film. This is the case, or will they be automatically removed from the table by the above removeMovieClip() method?

  They will not be removed from the table, but the table can now point to an undefined object.  So if the intention is not to try to deal with in this code, then you must delete them from the table.

• Dynamically place video clip on the corner and the overall position with a mouse click (button) that is always running.

  Anyone know the code to find the global positioning of the coordinates X and Y of a click of a button which turns constantly,
  then the code when you click the button, it displays a clip on the top-(position de x et y lorsque vous cliquez dessus) to the angle that you clicked (so the buttons are always rotating so others can click on them where they are)

  to explain the context, I am designing a model to the top of an interactive round table
  When someone approaches her and click on one of the buttons that move, it reads where the person has clicked on it and open a new box (video clip) where they have clicked on it (on the corner) so is not backwards if you're upstairs.

  I have included my .fla file that shows the four navigation buttons and a small diagram
  explain what I'm trying to do.

• problems creating video clips

  Here is my code:
  
  for (var i: Number = 1; i < = nTotalPaintings; i ++) {}
  mcPaintings.createEmptyMovieClip ("mcPainting" + i, mcPainting.getNextHighestDepth ());
  trace ("for loop #" + i);
  mcPaintings.attachMovie ("idLoader", "mcLoader" + i, mcPainting.getNextHighestDepth ());
  mcPaintings ["mcPainting" + i] ._y = 0;
  mcPaintings ["mcPainting" + i] ._x = (i - 1) * 700;
  mcPaintings ["mcLoader" + i] ._y = 0;
  mcPaintings ["mcLoader" + i] ._x = (i - 1) * 700;
  trace ("mcLoader" + i + "has a _x to" + mcPaintings ["mcLoader" + i] ._x);
  }
  
  Going through line by line in debug mode, the createEmptyMovieClip() and attachMovie() methods do their job... but as each movie clip is replaced by the following. In the end, instead of having the 26 footage, I only have 1. I replaced one video clip with another 25 times!
  
  what I am doing wrong?
  
  Thank you!

  is mcPainting (without a final're) typo in mcPainting.getNextHighestDepth ()? What should we not mcPaintings.getNextHighestDepth ()? and it's better have a wide enough scene and very little nTotalPaintings, or you won't see much of the movieclips on stage.

• Disable or remove the button / video clip

  Hi - I hope that this is possible - I have a gallery of actionscript controlled miniatures that scrolls horizontally so far to reveal a group of six inches... way easier to explain is just to show you...
  
  http://www.weensyweb.com/WOMAD/GalleryMay07/
  
  what I have to do is to disable the arrows 'before' or 'back' as soon as they are useless... It's buttons in the MCs, which executes a mc containing thumbs, using the following script:
  
  on {(press)
  If (this._parent.main.targetx < = 200) {}
  This._parent.main.targetX += 495;
  This._parent.main.targetY = 410.4;
  } else {}
  (this._parent.main.targetx - 0);
  }
  }
  
  At the very beginning of the film, you can see that the 'back' arrow is always selectable and clickable, even if there is nowhere for the MC scrolling to go. In the end of the Gallery, the "forward" arrow becomes obsolete, although that still keeps its stat and multi-format reversal.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Check out my funky front and back buttons too :)

  Thank you!!!

  on the go MC himself, I put this:

  onClipEvent (load) {}
  targetX = 3.5;
  targetY = 410.4;
  setProperty (this._parent.backClip, _alpha, "30");
  This._parent.backClip.backBUT.enabled = false;
  }
  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
  Xdiv = ((targetx-this._x)/5);
  This ._x = (this ._x + xdiv);
  ydiv = ((targety-this._y)/5);
  This ._y = (this ._y + ydiv);
  }

  then the buttons I put this:

  on (release) {}
  If (this._parent.main.targetx<=-200)>
  This._parent.main.targetX += 495;
  This._parent.main.targetY = 410.4;
  This._parent.forwardClip.forwardBUT.enabled = true;
  setProperty (this, _alpha, "100");
  setProperty (this._parent.forwardClip, _alpha, "100");
  } else {}
  (this._parent.main.targetx == 0);
  this.backBUT.enabled = false;
  setProperty (this, _alpha, "30");
  }
  }

• Permutation of position of list view for dynamic video clips

  Hi all

  I have a question that is difficult to explain. I have a class file that loads an external XML file, analyzes the main nodes in an array, and then creates a movie clip instance for each of the nodes, the text inside the movie clip based instance fields on the child nodes in the XML file.

  Each added movie clip instance dynamically has a built in clip that acts as a tab. I have update the dynamic text of this integrated clip, based on the name of each main XML node.

  Now, where I'm stuck, it's that I have attached an event listener to each clip tab which is created dynamically within the video clip. I want to do is when the user clicks on this tab have this movie clip will move to the top of the list of display on all other dynamically created movie clips. My problem is that I don't know how to get correct references.

  When I create movie clips dynamically I store objects in a table. The problem seems to be that the event is triggered for a clip inside the dynamic clip so I don't know how to reference the clip parent. Maybe it's something else, but I don't know how to refer to the main movie clips that I want to switch.

  I hope that makes sense. My main question is how can I use the swapChildren or setChild functions when you click the clip is in the clip I want to change in the display list as well as the fact that this clip is created dynamically.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated!

  allEstimateSheetsMC [sheet] .addChild (textField);
  
  textFields.push (textField);

  }

  }
  
  public void tabClick(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  This function to share footage, essentially taking the selected_tab and exchange it with the one that was clicked
  trace ("what is it?" + this.parent.name);
  
  container.swapChildren (allEstimateSheetsMC [selected_tab], this.parent);

  
  }
  
  }
  
  }

  "this" trace and see what it gives you...

  The "event.currentTarget" will identify the object with the event listener are entrusted to him.

  Try tracing...

  trace (this, event.currentTarget);

  and see if they look like the same object.

• Help! Remove video Clips

  OK... This is my problem... I'm doing a portfolio site and I my thumb nails are created dynamically through XML... very similar to the example of galleries in the sample and the tutorials. Only problem is that I have several keyframes with different vignettes that must be copied to a different XML file. I managed to do work, but the first image thumbnails are still playing on the second image... How can I remove the dynamically created movie clips?

  You must record the number of elements so that you can use in the next button. Add a var to the timeline, or maybe another world:

  _Global.mccount = 0;

  In createGallery(), set the number of thumbnails to this:

  _Global.mccount = gallery_array.length;

  Then you can use this number in the next button:

  next_btn.onRelease = function() {}
  for (var i = 0; i)<_global.mccount;>
  _root ["image" + i + "_mc"] .removeMovieClip ();
  }
  gotoAndStop (2);
  }

• video clips by selecting the current target

  Hello
  
  I am currently stuckon which, in my view, should be a simple problem :) the jist of it is as follows.
  
  I have a clip on the scene that is clickable.
  Once I clicked new creata video clip and attach a clip to the library.
  At this point, I also create a text field and add it as a child for new film clip.
  
  now my problem is I want the clip to be clickable so that a user can maniuplate it. However if the click click on the text field, I get an error saying: it cannot be converted into a clip. Yes I cast the object selected as a clip :) I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of apporaching, like its drivign me crazy slow.

• deletion of &amp; quot; dynamically created &amp; quot; video clips

  Hey all,.
  Sorry for all the questions, but I still have another. How do you get rid of video clips on the stage with attachMovie. I tried removeMovieClip and clear, but they remain on the scene. I remember this last year in a class, but I lost files for this project, and can't remember how to do it. Is there a refresh of the screen or something I'm missing? Thank you.

  How about if you use the global method:

  removeMovieClip (_root.gui.notes [n]);

  Everything seems good. Are you mix Timeline stuff in there?

  I guess the question of the text field is because the fonts are not included.

• A project that I created is no longer works.  All video clips .mpg who ask to be reimported, and when I try to import from its original folder, all the files are slim.

  I currently have iMovie 10.1.2 and OS 10.11.6.  All except a video clip in a compilation of long hours are black with an exclamation mark.  They have the error statement, that the file is missing, re-import the original source media.  The clips are all .mpg and had imported fine when I created the film project of the month of May.  When I try to use the function "Import Media" drop, and I go in the folder on the desktop files located in, all the original .mpg files are low.  The two pictures that were in the project appear on the lower part.  Oh, and I did all that stored on the cloud.  I also wanted to start a new project, part II, but all the source files show a similar dim for all .mpg files.  Apple decided not to allow the .mpg files in iMovie?  If so, what is my next step?

  iMovie accepts more mpg files. The easiest way to work with them is in the finder do a right-click on the mpg file and select "encode the selected video files. In the dialog box that appears, choose the desired conversion. The converted file appears in the import iMovie window, and you can import it.

• My saved Windows Movie Maker Project open with video clips in the Audio editing panel and vice versa (NOT as it was created). Can I move them back where they belong?

  After days of the creation of a filmmaker 'project' I 'saved project' one last time, then reopen and publish a movie.  All my video Clips (phtotos) now appear in the Audio editing / music along the bottom with only a video clip standing in line of the video of this 'slide show' of 90 minutes.  Is it possible to move these clips to which they belong without having to recreate the whole project?

  What happens if you try to read the project in Movie Maker?

  Looks like your project .mswmm file is corrupt (starting
  Perhaps more than the best approach). The project can be as far
  too big and too complex to publish (save) with success as a
  video file.

  I suggest that you create several small projects
  and publish (save), each of them in the. WMV video format
  and then re-import the collection. To combine WMV files
  in a single movie.

  You can also import collection. Clips WMV to DVD
  Manufacturer and each clip, would have become a scene (chapter)
  on the DVD.

• Mobile Lightroom create a video clip

  All,

  I have a collection in Lightroom that I cut using the option of choice for mobile. After setting the right collection show the images picked, I selected create a video clip in the drop down menu, expecting first Clip to use only selected images only to find that he used the entire collection.

  Did I miss something or do I have to add each image individually?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Maybe it should work as you say, simply sending the items filtered, but I don't think it's too hard to get around him.

  In Lightroom Mobile, filter by indicator. Tap the share icon, then select copy. Then drag through the elements to select, type it > and send to a new collection. You can then send this clip.

• Can I create an AE / first library with frequently used video clips?

  I created before libraries in Illustrator and it worked fine, but currently I am trying to create a new library in AE or Premiere, and all my buttons "add to library" are grayed out. "Add graphics" etc. do not exist, and I can't drag and drop files on my Panel of the library. No idea what I'm doing wrong, but why this new library, I created allow me to add ALL the files? Specifically, if I am interested in adding video clips.

  You can't yet add to After Effects libraries.
