Should I only use ActionScript with movie clip symbols

• Noob on chain and Movie Clip symbols question

  So, I have a table containing the names of occurrence of some movie clip symbols... I want to catch a random and perform operations above.
  
  So, I put a table with string names and grab one at random.
  
  var log_array:Array = ["truckStop_mc", "blackJack_mc"];
  Index number: var = Math.round (Math.random () * log_array.length);
  
  I then used track to make sure that I'm grabbing the name correctly... it is for me the names...
  
  trace (log_array [index]);
  
  I then try set the x and y property
  
  log_array [index] .x = 399,4;
  log_array [index] = - 3 there.
  
  I get this error when running:
  Cannot create the x on string property
  
  I tried to store only the clips themselves as objects but it wrong as well.
  
  var log_array:Array = [truckStop_mc, blackJack_mc];
  
  Is there a way to store the objects themselves in the table, or is it possible to convert this string to the object.
  
  Something like
  var obj:Object = getObject (log_array [index]);
  obj.x =...
  
  any help would be great... I was blocked a bit now.
  
  Thank you

  you need to store the instance name of the MC as you have in the second version here, as in:

  var log_array:Array = [truckStop_mc, blackJack_mc];

  ... However the RND formula should be adjusted to:

  Index number: var = Math.round (Math.random () * (log_array.length-1));

  ... And when you set properties on an MC XY, you need a stroke of underscores, differeing from the XY of an object property, as in:

  log_array [index] ._x = 399,4;
  log_array [index] ._y = - 3;

• play movie clip symbol at the end of the animation, but does not appear in the timeline

  Work in Adobe Flash CS5

  When I play my movie in the Flash file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any film format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used in the animation. There is no extra frame in the timeline panel beyond which must be considered to be the last image. Y at - it a setting or something I forgot that could cause this instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without air in the main timeline? This can be corrected?

  your movieclip (or a parent) who plays on the main timeline or is loaded by your swf.  If you load this movieclip (published as a swf file), you can be sure that your movieclip (or a parent) is the culprit.

  Use the movie Explorer to find all instances of your movieclip using the library for this movieclip name.  If that does not reveal the culprit, you have either made a mistake in your search or if you have a movieclip in doubles.

• Clickable button inside the movie clip symbol?

  I would like to know how I can have clickable buttons inside a movie clip symbol.
  
  
  Thank you.

  Your problem is mainly code compared to the location of objects location. When you start the file, the keys 1 to 8 are classified under code because they are visible, while the 9-11 thru buttons are not because they live in a non-current setting of the miniature timeline. When you switch to the side MORE things, these buttons is not any code assigned to them, and when you come back, the same is true for the first eight buttons because they were out of the picture and lost their connection to any code (the previous assignments have been already spent to frame 1 of the main timeline).

  What you should probably do is locate your button code for frames where the buttons in the thumbnail movieclip. In this way, their code is always where they are. The code of the keys 1 to 8 will be in frame 1 of the miniature clip and the code for 9 to 11 will be in frame 2. You need to change the code for the form:

  thumb1.onRelease = function() {}
  _parent.gotoAndPlay("1");
  };

  And you're going to do you a favor if you do not use the numbers of the labels.

• How to change the alignment of the existing "Movie Clip" symbol Point?

  Hi all

  by:  Adobe Flash Professional CS6

  My Flash program contains a 'Symbol' MovieClip and then to the breast of this "Movie Clip" there are 3 layers, which are about 6-7 long chassis.

  Right now is size of video Clip "1680 x 1050" and it is centered on the stage. But the registration point is in a strange situation. It seems

  as it is biased a bit and to the right.

  I was wondering if there was a way to change the point of alignment in the same way as when you create the symbol (* that is when it shows you the )

  points of type "grid" which you click on one of them and it becomes its registration point)? I read about how you can change the registration Point of

  by clicking on the Clip and then clicking on Edit > Edit Selected/symbol/In_Place. But when I try that it's really hard to get where I want it to be...

  What I want is the upper-left corner of the symbol for the registration Point, which is the top-left corner is "0,0"

  Anyway I can do without having to "Hands-free" move image to the Point of alignment... ?

  Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

  You can always create another movieclip that you (select the mc and choose create MovieClip) and when you specify the upper left corner to be the alignment point.

• Flash beginner needs help with Movie Clips/Action script

  HI -.
  
  I'm having a problem with my video clips playing simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, know what I did wrong. I'm new to flash so I can I have created something wrong but this is what I have so far:
  
  11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 buttons, each button with the following actionscript code:
  
  
  on (release) {}
  gotoAndPlay (85);
  }
  
  
  When the number changes with regard to keyframes, the next film is about.
  
  I have 10 films, total, but they are only video clips, mainly photo slideshow with audio, does everything in the library.
  
  The problem occurs when I click on the second or third button. Not only the movie I selected starts to play, but all previous clips are as well, he has completely blurred all the sounds. I don't know what Miss me in action script, as my Action layer has a stop command to this topic at each keyframe where there is a new clip to play.
  
  I tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid that does nothing because it is not an "audio file" in itself playing in the timeline panel.
  
  I'm at the end of my rope and really need help to understand this one. My project is hanging in the balance on this point, I wrote everything correctly and it works beautifully.
  
  Help, please!
  
  Thank you
  Caroline

  Start your sounds in frame 2 and place stopAllSounds() on each keyframe where begins a movieclip.

• Need help with movie clip display and timer

  I worked on a game in flash for the last couple days and this is my first major game so there was a lot of problems.  For those who have helped so far thanks so much!

  I think that I finally got it with a few exceptions, they are.

  1. the clip that serves as my pop-up window is popping up behind all my mobile icons.  I need over them of course.

  2. I need to find a simple way to stop time while the pop up is in place and to make up the time when she disappears.

  OR

  3. I need to add 5 seconds to the game clock when the user draws a question mark to make it appear as if the clock stopped.

  If someone has an incentive it would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

  This is my code of timer clock to date!

  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
  If (_root.time == 30) {}
  _root. TECH = 9;
  _root.intervaln = 30;
  }
  If (_root.time == 10) {}
  _root.intervalz = 10;
  }
  If (_root.time == 0) {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (3);
  }
  }

  Kapelski

  1. you should not set any code for an object.  all your code must be attached to frames or in classes.

  2. use swapDepths() to change the depth of a movieclip

  3. There is nothing in your code on a timer.

• Animation inside the movie clip symbols in the part "header" of the web site

  Question: should I do a header animation of the website. seconds, it happens and is stopped with action script command stop(); but I need an elenment inside the flash header continue to animate like here: http://ves-lab.ru/ a scalable logo in the upper left corner of the header. If somewhere the answer has already been written - someone write a link to this source. Thank you.

  Make this entity that continues to animate a separate with its own animation movieClip.

• Movie Clip (with script) of nesting in button

  I'm pretty new to Flash, I have the basics but struggle when it comes to tasks more complex requiring a code etc. My problem seems simple in theory but in practice it's a different story; for me anyway.

  First stop, I create an online gallery. It is made against several thumbnail images of the art of the pieces which, when clicked, show the image in a larger format. I reached this goal in duplicating the chassis 12 times (how many images it is on the page) and linking each miniature to its corresponding image that runs through frames 1-12.

  I had this working perfectly, except for my animation of miniature mouseover who did very well when the mouse is in the affected area, but once outside the animation just broken back. This was done simply by nesting a movie clip symbol in the State over the button (that does not need any code).

  However, once I searched the internet for ways allow the animation to return to his State not active with an animation of back once the mouse is over the affected area, I hit a new problem entirely. Of course, this effect required some basic coding and was not pressing the button a on the State to activate the animation. This means that when I tried to embed the new animation in the zone reached the animation button was on the button, its ability to disable link area.

  I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get the animation that will be triggered when the user hovers over the button and allow the button to link to its framework.

  I know this is a long post and thank you for reading. If you don't know what anyone that I said, please ask. I'll also give you a link to the tutorial I used as a base for my animation to be nested within the button. (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm)

  Thanks again.

  If 'frame2' is your label and not "frame2_Page 1", you must use:

  Stop();

  this.onEnterFrame = function() {}

  if(Rewind == true) {}

  prevFrame();

  }

  }

  this.onRollOver = function() {}

  return = false;

  Play();

  }

  this.onRollOut = function() {}

  Rewind = true;

  }

  blakeheaps.onRelease = function() {}

  _root.gotoAndPlay ("frame2");

  }

• Video (.) Export AVI), symbols of 'Movie clip' does not animate

  In a Flash project, I have a "clip" - symbol of the type which is an insect moth, animated while flapping his wings. On the main stage, this Butterfly clip is animated to move along a path.
  
  It animates correctly in SWF, but when exporting to video (.) Video clips (AVI), only display the first image. For example, the butterfly moves along the way on the stage, but its wings do not beat.

• Using the ActionScript 2.0 Movie Clip Variable Array

  I just want to use several movie clip attached as table, btw, it's the simple code:

  if(_Global.pLevel == 0)

  {

  var box1:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie ("flip_box_lg", "fb1", this.getDepth () + 5, {_x:100,_y:100});})

  Box1._width = 100;

  Box1._height = 40;

  Box1._x = 60;

  Box1._y = 80;

  var box2:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie ("flip_box_lg", "fb2", this.getDepth () + 6, {_x:100,_y:100});} ")

  Box2._width = 100;

  Box2._height = 40;

  Box2._x = 170;

  Box2._y = 80;

  this.onEnterFrame = assignF;

  }

  Can I just making it like that?

  for (var i = 0; i < 6; i ++)

  {

  [i] var box: MovieClip = _root.attachMovie ("flip_box_lg", "fb" +(i+1), this.getDepth () + 5, {_x:60+(i*110),_y:80});})

  }

  Thank you before

  use:

  var box: Array = [];

  for (var i = 0; i)<>

  {

  Box.push (_root.attachMovie ("flip_box_lg", "fb" +(i+1), _root.getNextHighestDepth (), {_x:60+(i*110),_y:80}));}))

• Do away with button movie clip

  Hi all

  Thank you very much for watching my post and I hope you can answer my question

  Basically, I have a 3D interactive project only when the viewer clicks on the window and drag either right or left, then it pops up as they spin a 3D model, I have given out in Maya. What they do moves the mouse over the x axis that causes the clip to play backward or forward.

  The code I got from this site works like a dream! I even made sure that as they click a button depending on whether he goes to the other almost identical movie clip and he will leave the same frame as the previous video clip let go. I'm rather proud of myself for the moment

  However - on the second clip almost identical (mc_2), it has some tags on the images. And what I really want to do is, press the mouse for labels to disappear and when the viewer has finished breakfast through the time line with the mouse move and break the mouse, who reappear labels!

  Looks a lot like now here: http://BMC.Erin.utoronto.ca/~Enid/interactivethyroidectomy/

  So, I worked on this code which works perfectly in a small test project I've done. I put this on a button called my_btn and then made a label and this changed to a clip called my_mc and it all worked perfect

  on {(press)

  _root.my_mc._visible = false;

  }

  on (release) {}

  _root.my_mc._visible = true;

  }

  But what I really need to do is for my previous movieclip, mc_2, use the code above. However, if I add anywhere amoungst my actionscript previous coding in the mc_2 layer, then the viewer can no longer scrub through the timeline more. Clearly this code above is affected my previous code. which is:

  Stop();

  mc_2.stop ();

  var startX:Number;

  var startFrame:Number;

  var changeDistance:Number;

  var travelDistance:Number;

  mc_2.onPress = pressHandler;

  mc_2.onRelease = releaseHandler;

  mc_2.onreleaseoutside = releaseHandler;

  function pressHandler (): Void {}

  startX = mc_2._xmouse;

  startFrame = mc_2._currentframe;

  this.onMouseMove = moveHandler;

  }

  function releaseHandler (): Void {}

  this.onMouseMove = null;

  }

  function moveHandler (): Void {}

  changeDistance = mc_2._xmouse - startX;

  travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;

  If (travelDistance > mc_2._totalframes) {}

  mc_2.gotoAndStop (travelDistance % mc_2._totalframes);

  } ElseIf (travelDistance < 0) {}

  mc_2.gotoAndStop (mc_2._totalframes + (travelDistance % mc_2._totalframes));

  } else {}

  mc_2.gotoAndStop (travelDistance);

  }

  }

  Just so I'm ultra clear for the various layers etc.

  On stage 1, I have four layers

  Actions, buttons, clips, video and background

  In two, it has the above actionscript and then mc_2

  Inside of the mc_2 are 100 images from a view of 360-degree images of a shoulder of Maya

  in the top layer of the images, I have labels - one of which ive converted a clip called my_mc to this post.

  So what I have to do is add somewhere in the ActionScript for the mc_2 who, with all the mouse, presses and releases for him also make a specific mc (my_mc) invisible when the mouse is pressed and re appear when the mouse is released.

  I hope that makes sense.

  I thank very you much for your help in advance.

  CAT

  If you want to target something inside the mc_2, then just target mc_2 in the path...

  mc_2.my_mc._visible = false;

• Movie Maker: the difficulty to save the storyboard with WMV clips table to a movie file (stops at about 72 %...)

  Greetings - I'm working on a movie maker project. I downloaded various video clips tube in u (in FLV format), converted to use U-Tube downloader WMV format and placed on my table of Storyboard. He looks good and the sound and image (on the small screen) are OK. However, when I finished my project and proceed to save any thing like a movie I'm umable to do. The file is about 13 minutes long, so it's a big file. The dialog box indicates (summary in my own words) '... ". Please check the location of the files and if there is enough memory, etc. "In any case, about 72 percent of the way, he stops to record and so I am unable to finish my project. Thanks a lot for the answers. Best regards.

  Sometimes it helps if you open Movie Maker and go to...

  The error you mention generally indicates incompatible source
