Importing Movieclips to stage from library

Hi, im trying to import a movie clip from the library to the stage and give it an instance name but im not really sure how to do it.
I exported the movie clip to actionscript and gave it a unique class name, but how can i add it to the stage and give it a unique instance name?
Thanks

Hey! How about:
for(var i:uint; i<10;i++){
var instance:Myclass = new Myclass;
instance.name = "instance" + i
That way it'll create as many of them was you want (10 in this case) and name them instance0,instance1,instance2, etc
alternatively you could do this:
var instances:Array = new Array;
for(var i:uint; i<10;i++){
var instance:Myclass = new Myclass;
instances.push(instance);
then later on you could refer back to them as instances[0], instances[1],etc.
It all depends on what you need to do.
Hope that helps!

  • Access movieclip on stage from class?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to access a movieclip which has been dragged onto the main stage in my FLA from an external class that i've written? Can i create a variable that refers to the object on the stage? Or does it have to be added dynamically to be accessible?
    Many Thanks

    Hi Ned, i'm not instantiating it as such i'm just using it to store quite a large method which is being called from the document class.
    I'm trying to break all my code down into chuncks stored in .as files so that i dont have 2,000 lines of code all in frame one of the main timeline : S
    So this is my document class:
    package  {
              import flash.display.MovieClip;
              import loadXML;
              public class mainClass extends MovieClip {
                        public function mainClass () {
                              loadXML.importXML();
    then this is the class being called from the mainClass:
    package  {
              import flash.display.Stage;
              import flash.net.*;
              import flash.events.ProgressEvent
              import flash.events.Event;
              import flash.text.*;
              public class loadXML {
                        private static var myXML:XML;
                        private static var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
                        public function loadXML() {
                        public static function importXML():void{
                                       myLoader.load(new URLRequest("pipeLineData.xml"));
                                       myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
                        private static function processXML(e:Event):void {
                                       myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
                                       objectOnStage.text = myXML.TEXT[0];
                                       //etc...
                                       //etc...

  • Imported Music is missing from library

    I've recently started having problems seeing imported music in my iTunes library.
    I put a CD into my computer, and the CD is visible within iTunes in the devices Tab, as normal. I import the CD, and can watch the tracks as they are added to my computer (in the devices tab). However, after the import is completed, the tracks are not visible in the Library:Music window. The files are there on my hard drive (I can see the .m4a files in Music-->iTunes-->iTunes Music), and the folders are appropriately named by artist, but after I eject the CD I can't find them within iTunes. All of my old music is there, just not the new stuff.
    I've tried moving the file of the music from the iTunes folder onto my desktop, and then adding it back into iTunes. I get the window saying the files are being copied into my iTunes library, and they go back into the iTunes folder, but I still can't see them from within iTunes. I can even drag and drop the files onto my iPod within the Devices tab within iTunes, and add the music to my iPod that way, but I don't know why I can't see the tracks in my Library:Music.
    This has only become a problem within the last week, but I don't think I've changed any preferences that would cause this problem.
    Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem, it started like 2 days ago! Songs that I imported from burned CD's a few years ago are suddenly not available on iTunes because iTunes can't find them. And I can't remember their file paths either, so that's a bit of an issue...
    A few songs that I downloaded from random sites are also missing...is this a temporary iTunes bug?

  • Find where an item is used on stage from library?

    You can select Unused items to see all the items not used. Is there a way find where on the stage an item in the library is used?

  • Images imported from library are empty

    Sorry, I did post this query a few days ago, and I did get a
    response but unfortunately it did not help.
    When I import my images to the library, I can see them fine
    in the viewer window. However, when I drag the images to the stage
    I get just an empty frame. I do not know what the problem is. I
    have tried importing the same images into a stage on an older
    version of Flash and there is no problem. I see the images fine.
    So, what can be the problem with Flash CS3.
    I was advised by this forum to check to make sure the
    "outlines" option was turned off on that layer. I tried this, but I
    had no luck. Interestingly though if I work in Flash 8 on the same
    computer and then import the Flash 8 files to CS3 I can then see
    images I import from the library, even after I have converted the
    Flash 8 files to CS3 format. At the moment it is the only way I can
    work with CS3. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
    Thanking you all,
    Mary

    Hi
    There are several layers to this.
    a. There are no HD-DVD - DVD is as standard only Standard Definition as on old CRT-TVs and can never be anything btter as iPhoto showes on Your Mac screen (5 to 10 times higher resolution)
    b. One can get a result less than iDVD SD quality and down to really bad by
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in the picture = 50% loss
    • Using iMovie HD6 and NO Ken Burns effect AND "Share to iDVD" as this also results in disaster (heavely pixelated Bad bad pictures) - (as iMovie will render badly)
    c. I build my SlideShow in
    • iMovie HD6 - and no Ken Burns effect - BUT I close iMovie and import iMovie movie project (SlideShow) from within iDVD and now iDVD will render and so much better.
    • FinalCut also delivers maximal quality over to iDVD
    (from FCE/P - Export out as QuickTime .mov - NO QuickTime conversion (Important))
    • iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other)
    iMovie HD6/FinalCut + iDVD will give as high quality possibly to the resulting DVD.
    I use
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • set down burn speed to x4 (Plays better on many DVD-Players)
    • Pro Quality encoding - I got the time and like the result

  • Dynamic movieclip creation from library

    Version: Flash CS3, AS3
    To add a new movieclip to the stage from the library you can
    do something like this:
    var newMC:libraryMC = new libraryMC();
    this.addChild(newMC);
    To do this, however, I need to know the name of the library
    movieclip beforehand (in this case, libraryMC). What do I do when I
    only receive the name at runtime?
    ie:
    randomMC = "libraryMC";
    In AS2, you could use this.attachMovie(randomMC,"newMC",x),
    but that is no longer supported in AS3.
    So how is this situation handled now?
    Thanks
    Rick

    Thanks kglad - that's what I wanted.

  • Adding Movieclips from Library

    Hi, I want to add 20 Moviclips at a time by Loop, from
    Library. so can any body tell me how could it possible.
    I can add one MovieClip just by as:
    var mc:Movieclip = new MovieName();
    But i need some string type method which can add multiple
    MovieClips from Library at a time.
    in AS2 there was a method for attchMovie, in which we can add
    Linkage name with Name0, Name1, Name2 as 'Name'+i.....
    So is it also possible in AS3 or not?

    Hi NedWebs,
    Atleast now i found the solution of adding multiple diffrent
    MovieClips from Library by AS3 code:
    Code is like this
    package com{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.utils.*;
    public class Main extends MovieClip {
    public function Main() {
    for (var i=0;i<3;i++) {
    addMovieFromLibrary('Sample'+i);
    function addMovieFromLibrary(mcIName:String) {
    var tMC:Class = getDefinitionByName(mcIName) as Class;
    var newMc:MovieClip = new tMC() as MovieClip;
    newMc.x = 1+Math.random()*170;
    addChild(newMc);
    For above code you just need to place Smaple0, Sample1,
    Sample2 in library.
    Nothing is impossible :)

  • How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

    How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?  I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

    When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
    One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container.  You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
    Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

  • Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

    Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
    Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
    Thanks in advance

  • HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

    I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

    How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.  I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one.  They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device."  I hadn't touched the camera.  The message came by itself.  I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit.  Opening it back up, the pictures were gone.  Can somebody help me? 

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

    When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

    If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow.  However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000  photos in my iPhoto Library. Can I import only certain events from iPhoto into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library?

    I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
    And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
    Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.

    Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
    Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
    iPhoto version is 9.5.1
    Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
    I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
    It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
    What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
    iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem.  Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
    The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
    Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
    Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video,  that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed.  You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
    Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11

  • Referring to functions on the stage from a movieclip.

    First of all, I'd like to thank you to anyone who takes their time to read this. I registered to this forum for the sole purpose of getting help to this one issue of mine, as I found most issues were solved in here. By reading my problem (and hopefully responding) you're doing me a huge favour. Thanks in advance.
    I just started "coding" in AS3. By "coding", I actually mean trying around with features and generally trying to grasp the vast amount stuff you can do with this software of. I have some coding experience, however the way   Flash likes to hide code snippets all over my project does tend to confuse me. Not knowing where I tried putting the code and/or rewrote some other stuff keeps me sorta busy.
    I'd also like to apologize for the title, if it in any way confuses you. Shortening down my problem to a single sentence was hard, please keep that in mind.
    Anyway, my issue is this:
    Messing around with movieclips inside movieclips, I've keep encountering the error "1120: Access of undefined property onTimerComplete." I do realize that this error generally is caused by not having defined an instance correctly or not having it defined at all - an error beginners tend to make.
    Nonetheless, I'm not trying to refer to an instance/symbol, I am trying to call a function defined on the stage from within a movieclip that also is placed on the stage.
    I've been reading huge amounts of text/articles and how-to 's, but they all seem to only touch the subject lightly or simply going in head-first - becoming far too complicated for me (a beginner) to grasp.
    So, trying to sum my questions up into something that looks like a tl;dr:
    - What's up with levels, "_root" and referring to functions like in the older versions of flash?
    Flash tells me to use some display-package instead of _root, when I use that... (I do realize the article is from Flash 5.0)
    - How do you refer to a function defined on the stage, from inside a movieclip? (The function is a timer, that is supposed to make the mother-movieclip continue to the next child-movieclip.)
    Please, I really don't know how to define my problem any further than this. Ask as many questions as you would like, I really appreciate any help I can get.
    - Mattimussi

    click file/publish settings/flash and tick "permit debugging".  highlight the line number referenced in the error message.  (and, use:
    Calling:
    stop();
    MovieClip(root).startTimer();
    Defining:
    var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,onTimerComplete);
    myTimer.start();
    function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void{
    play();
    //myTimer.stop();
    function startTimer():void{
    trace("startTimer function was executed");
    myTimer.start();
