In to multiple movieclips

_root.page_mc1.lgpd_mc.loadMovie(a[6]);
How do I load the same image in to 6 movieclips?

this is what I've done so far. but it's only showing in lgpd_mc. the remaining MC instances are lgpd_1, lgpd_2...
      _root.page_mc1.lgpd_mc.loadMovie(a[6]);
   for (i=1;i<8;i++){
    duplicateMovieClip("_root.page_mc1.lgpd_mc", "_root.page_mc"+i, i+".lgpd_"+i, i);

Scroll Bar Controlling multiple movieclips?

Instead of a scroll bar just controlling one movieclip..How could we get it to control multiple movieclips?

Mask multiple movieclips from single mask

Hi,
h have big movieclip 450X350 and there are many small thumbnails i need to mask those from big movieclip, I need to animate those so that i can't put those in a single movieclip, Is it possible to mask multiple movieclips from single movieclip...?

If you want to mask them using Actionscript then you should be able to place them inside a movieclip/sprite as separate animations/movieclips and then assign the mask to the container.
You can mask multiple layers under one layer if you use the timeline

Multiple movieclips and mutiple event handling.

Hi All,
I have multiple movieclips(images sequence), which I want to add mouseevent (click and drag), keyboard event(left and right arrows) and zoom event(mouse wheel).
I have this function for only one mc(one image sequence).
Now if I use this function, I am having problem with calling the function from the same frame.
That is,
If click another mc from say frame 3, and click on another function, it should continue from frame 3 only, not start from first frame again.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that shows the part where you rotete the house view in a 360degree fashion?
if so, make a global var on your root timeline:
var rotationframe:int = 1; //in the beginning of the app all the dirffernt images are sitting on frame 1
you can access this var from anywehere inside any function of your app by calling:
root.rotationframe
now in the function that handles the rotation (lets say its your keyboard function) in the end (after you moved the playhead) you make sure to always set
root.rotationframe = garage.currentFrame;
and in the function that handles the switching between images you write sth. like
gotoAndStop(root.rotationframe);
Be aware, you can`t simply use that code without adapting it to your special needs.

Play multiple MovieClips videos in sequence

Hi,
I've multiple videos stored as MovieClip objects and would like to merge them into a single MovieClip video object in order to play all of them in sequence (so that a user thinks it's a single longer video). Is it possible?
Thanks a lot!

               yes very possible.
there are a few ways to do this, but this is the route i would go.
if you are good with OOP let me know and i will create the class's for you otherwise, also is there sound involved?
var index:int=0
var getTo:int=0
var currentClipInPlay:MovieClip
var clipsToPlay[LoaderA,LoaderB,LoaderC,LoaderD]   //assuming these are your loaders of the movieCLips
function beginPlaying(start:,finish:int){
     var startPlayingMovie:MovieClip=turnInToMc(start)
                        index=start
                         getTo=endValue
                        assumePlay( startPlayingMovie)
protected function assumePlay(starting:MovieClip){
          if(index<getTo){
               addChild(starting)
               resume()
          }else{
               pause()
function turnInToMc(index):MovieCLip{
Loader(clipsToPlay[index]).content as MovieClip
function pause(){
mc:MovieCLip= turnInToMc(index).stop()
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onFrame)
currentClipInPlay=null
function resume(){
currentClipInPlay=turnInToMc(index)
if(!hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME)){
     addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onFrame)
function onFrame(e:Event){
var tFrames=currentClipInPlay.totalFrames
      if((currentClipInPlay.currentFrames==tFrames){
               stopAndPlayNext(currentClipInPlay)
     }else{
          currentClipInPlay.nextFrame()
function stopAndPlayNext(mc:MovieClip){
pause()
index++
assumePlay(turnInToMc(index))
removeChild(mc)
mc.gotoAndStop(0)
I'll explain when i get to work what this is

Multiple MovieClips Loading SWF From Same Array (Posted Code)

Hey there,
I'm currently working on a project that has eight separate movieclips (for loading content) on separate layers. I have placed code in these mc's to randomly draw from the same array of 61 different swf's. Each mc randomizes the array just fine, but here's the problem. The code works great for one instance, but as soon as I add the code (including renaming) to the other mc's, the swf won't load/play. I am not getting an compiler errors, and am kinda stuck as to what the problem may be. Here's an example of the code I'm using. It is the same for each mc, except I'm renaming the variables as well as the instances for each mc. Thanks for any suggestions.

Might you be able to lead me down a better path? I'm currently unable to get this to function for multiple symbols. The previous is the code that I've placed on the first keyframe of a movieclip with an instance name of movieTarget. Works swimmingly for one, but once the code is placed on the other symbols on different layers, it seems to only work on the lowest layer in the project.

Apply bounce to multiple movieclips

Hello there,
I'm having a bit of a problem with a basic game I'm making where I want to have a number of animals which bounce around the stage.. I can't seem to get the code to apply to more than one of my movieclips using a loop.. if I try to apply vx and vy to the individual movieclips then nothing happens.. for now I have the ten movieclips on the stage but only one whichbounces around.. I have managed to get all of them to move but they each stay in their own area of the stage, but I'd like each to bounce around the stage and not interfere which the others movement..
Thanks in advance
        public function Bounce()
            crosshairs = new Target();
            addChild(crosshairs);
            init();
        private function init():void
            stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
            stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
            for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                horse = new Horse();
                horse.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
                horse.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;
                addChild(horse);
                animals.push(horse);
                horse.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHorseClick);
            vx = Math.random() * 40 - 20;
            vy = 10;
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
        private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
                crosshairs.x = stage.mouseX;
                crosshairs.y = stage.mouseY;
                vy += gravity;
                horse.x += vx;
                horse.y += vy;
                var left:Number = 0;
                var right:Number = stage.stageWidth;
                var top:Number = 0;
                var bottom:Number = stage.stageHeight;
                if(horse.x + horse.width > right)
                    horse.x = right - horse.width;
                    vx *= bounce;
                else if(horse.x - horse.width < left)
                    horse.x = left + horse.width;
                    vx *= bounce;
                if(horse.y + horse.height > bottom)
                    horse.y = bottom - horse.height;
                    vy *= bounce;
                else if(horse.y - horse.height < top)
                    horse.y = top + horse.height;
                    vy *= bounce;
        private function onHorseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
            var animal = event.currentTarget;
            removeChild(animal);

I've slightly changed the code and I think I can see a little better now what is happening with multiple item..
I created a function which I call onEnterFrame, which loops through an array of movieclips and adds the bounce..
The problem is that when ANY of the movieclips hit ANY of the boundaries, ALL of the movieclips react accordingly instead of just the movieclip which has collided with the side of the stage.
Here is my updated code, can anyone see an answer to this ?
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
     startBounce();
private function startBounce():void {
     for(var i:uint = 0; i < animals.length; i ++) {
          var animal = animals[i];
          animal.vy += gravity;
          animal.x += vx;
          animal.y += vy;
          if(animal.x + animal.width > right) {
               animal.x = right - animal.width;
               vx *= bounce;
          else if(animal.x - animal.width < left) {
               animal.x = left + animal.width;
               vx *= bounce;
          if(animal.y + animal.height > bottom) {
               animal.y = bottom - animal.height;
               vy *= bounce;
          else if(animal.y - animal.height < top) {
               animal.y = top + animal.height;
               vy *= bounce;

Multiple movieclips with same export for AS names? Possible?

Ls,
Im working on an app for mobile devices.
Since the demensions of some of them, i.e. phones as opposed to tablets, have a much smaller screen, wanted to use different sets of mc's depending on screen size (device dimension wise, not resolution).
So a smaller device would use the mc's with larger gfx so they would still be decipherable and the larger devices could use smaller gfx so to be abale to get a larger part on the screen at the same time
- I could just scale the entire screen clip all the time, but this will slow it down too much i think
- I could create multiple instances and use different names and then sort them out run time in AS, but this would also steal processor time. Im not really for that.
- I could publish multiple versions, depending on device its for. But this would require me to maintain multiple sources on upgrades. I can feel the hurt already.
I was hoping it is possible somehow to export the movieclips as .swf's or something and then sorting out run time wich one to import/use/load.
Then, hopefully i can refer to them in my code with the same name's but they will be different sizes depending on wich i had chosen to include/load.
Makes any sense?
Any info on what's the best way to proceed is highly appreaciated.
Regards,
Mac

Kglad,
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
I meant: if I use as object creation with as like
mc:movieclip = new someclip();
It had the dimensions it has in the library.
If I then do a
mc.scaleX = mc.scaleY = .75;
It wil change size yes.
But wont this require flash to internally resize it each time it has to paste it onto the screen/ into the canvasbitmap?
Or does it take a snapshot from the Library and use that until te next scale operation?
The reason i ask is because a: i dont know ****, b: if i resize it really small, then resize it large, it seems unaffected by the first resize to small.
So i''m thinking it still uses the same mc source, and rescales it from that all the time.
Wich would afcourse affect performance.
Highest regards,
Mac

Mask multiple movieclips by single movieclip

Hi, I have make many thumbnails(t1,t2,t3....) on homepage of my website now i req. to mask all thmbnails by one movieclip(mskMC).
Thanks for your support.

I cn't do that because my app structure will be change and many functionalites will be affect from it

Mask multiple movieclips from single movieclip

Hi i am trying to mask 3 thumbnails from 1 movieclips
mc.samsungchamp.mask=mc.msk
mc.samsungduos.mask=mc.msk
mc.samsungace.mask=mc.msk
but these thumbs are is not showing masked.

Is this not possible to mask all movieclips through one movieclip, without putting movieclips into single movieclip.??

Mask multiple MovieClip

Hi !
Is it possible to mask more than one movieclip in action
script.
I see that's possible in the gaphical author environment.
_root.attachMovie("mask_mc","mask_mc",10);
_root.attachMovie("a_mc","a_mc",0);
_root.attachMovie("another_mc","another_mc",1);
_root.a_mc.setMask(_root.mask_mc);
_root.another_mc.setMask(_root.mask_mc);
This simple code don't work...
Thanks a lot.
Tivins.

Tivins,

Yes. Make sure to include all the movie clips you want to
mask inside
of a single movie clip, then mask that "container" movie
clip.

Export problems multiple movieclips to image sequence

For our customer we made several flash animations. My output has to be image sequences for Cinemascope format. The export function in Flash for image sequences does not work! All my images are the same frame. This is frame 0 on the timeline. So the embedded movieclips wont playback.
When exporting a Quicktime movie, some frames are skipped and missing in the output! So the export options in Flash are totally not working for my situation. We bought an application SWF to image but also here are some frames missing in the export. I can not relay on Flash and this application.
The project is built like this: we made several movieclips and scaled them and put them in position. Then we made one new movieclip with all the earlier made movieclips inside. Then scaled the entire movieclip to the Cinemascope stage size.
Are we using Flash in a wrong way here?
Why does the exports functions don't work on my project? (built in movieclips won't play, quicktime mov skips images)
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Greetings Henk

Ok this is workaround but should in principle do what you want:
//create an instance of library object
var mylibrary = fl.getDocumentDOM().library;
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
//get items in library in an Array
itemArray = mylibrary.items;
totalCount = itemArray.length;
for(var i=0;i<totalCount;i++){
    myItem = itemArray[i];
    myItemType = myItem.itemType;
    myItemName = myItem.name;
    mylibrary.editItem(myItemName);
    fcNum = tl.layers[0].frameCount;
    for (f=0; f<fcNum;f++){
            tl.setSelectedFrames(f, f)
            framenum = f + 1;
            //select your destination, on MAC use something like file:///Macintosh HD/Users/username/Desktop/
            doc.exportPNG("file:///C|/test/"+myItemName+ "_" + framenum +".png", true, true);
1: open the fla file you want to convert to a movie and create a backup
2: Create a new Flash Javascript file and insert the code above, Make sure you have enough hard disk space in your destination folder
3: Press the play button and Flash will automatically parse through all items frame by frame in your library and save the images as png
4: Take a break as it might take a long time

Instantiation can be multiple movieclips with a loop?

I would like to know how I can instantiate multiple objects with a for
for example my code I created six squares of different colors and have instantiated with the name "cubeA, B, C, D, E, F"
apart in their xy position attribute I have given a value to each aparesca to me on the stage but in those cordenadas And always add +25 to make aparescan top of each other but can see each one.
Code 1:
var Cube1:CubeA = new CubeA();
Cube1.x = 40
Cube1.y = 140
addChild(Cube1)
var Cube2:CubeB = new CubeB();
Cube2.x = 65
Cube2.y = 140
addChild(Cube2)
var Cube3:CubeC = new CubeC();
Cube3.x = 90
Cube3.y = 140
addChild(Cube3)
var Cube4:CubeD = new CubeD();
Cube4.x = 115
Cube4.y = 140
addChild(Cube4)
var Cube5:CubeE = new CubeE();
Cube5.x = 140
Cube5.y = 140
addChild(Cube5)
var Cube6:CubeF = new CubeF();
Cube6.x = 165
Cube6.y = 140
addChild(Cube6)
I want to achieve is to instantiate all objects with a name but for each class must be contained in an array
something like this:
var McCubeClassName:Array;
McCubeClassName = [CubeA,CubeB,CubeC,CubeD,CubeE,CubeF]; // Mcs of Cube
for (var i = 0; i<=McCubeClassName.length; i++)
cube[i].x = 40
cube[i].y = (i * 16) + 10;
addChild(Cube[i])
what I want is to do the quotas instantiated one by one but this time using a for to make it faster and write fewer lines of code, because I have to do something simimar for a card game but not 54 letters are 100, they know that it is 100 times declare code 1, I'm going crazy!

I don't see why you need to start out with the Class names as strings. I use code very similar to Jennifer's regularly.
Jennifer, have you tried your code? If so, where is it failing?
Note that if you're going to use getDefinitionbyName(), you need something like this:
try {
     var cube:BaseCube = new c() as BaseCube;//note that the only thing that should begin with caps are Class names and constants
} catch (e:Error) {
     trace('The library did not contain a definition for ' + yourClassNameString);
Otherwise when you get errors it will prevent your swf from running.
Oh, I see why your iriginal code didn't work now. You need to change
for (var i = 0; i<=McCubeClassName.length; i++)
cube[i].x = 40
cube[i].y = (i * 16) + 10;
addChild(Cube[i])
to
//Note I also changed the name of your mcCubeClass variable to reflect best practice and what it does.
var cube:Array = [];//not sure if this is what you want, but this is how you are using it
for (var i = 0; i<mcCubeClass.length; i++)
     var newCube:BaseCube = new mcCubeClass();
     cube.push(newCube);
cube[i].x = 40
cube[i].y = (i * 16) + 10;
addChild(cube[i])

Multiple movieclips, 3 functions with unique targets

(cs3,as2)
I was wondering if there's an easier way of getting these
functions to work for about 150 different buttons? I just put three
of the blocks of code in here to show you what it looks like across
more than one. On the gotoAndStop actions, the name is a frame
label on a seperate swf file. the name used everywhere else is an
instance name on a dynamic textbox located inside a movieclip. All
this script is located in an external .as file. Thanks so much for
reading.

the code looks... well... ok - but the line:
myMc.fade.person.text = "Alicia rose";
is the problem. this is assigning the same text to all
instances, you can change this by adding a new propertiy to each
Object within the Array, something like - mcText:"Alicia Rose",
(differnet for each object of course) and then use that prop to
assign the field, similar to the other methods used in there - eg.
myMc.fade.person.text = this[myArray_array
.mcText];

Remove stage listener for multiple movieclips

I would like to completely remove personalized stage listeners, for each movieclip as soon as they are placed where they need to be, but the listeners remain every single time a new clip is dragged.
Thank you for any help!

i will try to show you a way that might help you to understand how the event-model in as3 is meant to work.
look at this code:
//with a MovieClip "DragClip" in the Library exoported for ActionScript
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
for (var i:int = 0; i<10;i++){
    var mc:DragClip = new DragClip();
    addChild(mc);
    mc.mouseChildren = false;
    mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragStart);
    mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStop);
    addChild(mc);
function dragStart(e:MouseEvent):void {
    e.currentTarget.startDrag();
    trace("dragging started");
function dragStop(e:MouseEvent):void {
    e.currentTarget.stopDrag();
    trace("dragging stopped");
    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragStart);
    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStop);
//it places hundred Movieclips on the stage
//makes them draggable
//but after they are dragged once
//they stay in place

In to multiple movieclips
