With the code below I created some imgMcA and some imgMcB then I loaded images into imgMcA ones. ImgMcBs have no image at that moment. So if one of imgMcA is clicked the image should be transferred to one of the empty imgMcBs (may be randomly) and if imgmcB is clicked later the image should move back to its imgMcA back. I could not find out how I can accomplish this.
Thanks in advance
function imageList(mcname, img, index){
var imgMcA:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
imgMcA.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
imgMcA.graphics.drawRect(0,0,imgWidth,imgHeight);
imgMcA.graphics.endFill();
imgMcA.name=lemma;
imgMcA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveImage);
var imgMcB:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
imgMcB.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
imgMcB.graphics.drawRect(0,0,imgWidth,imgHeight);
imgMcB.graphics.endFill();
imgMcB.name=index;
addChild(imgMcB);
var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(img));
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, changeProperties);
imgLoader.mouseEnabled=false;
imgMcA.addChild(imgLoader);
}
function moveImage(evnt:MouseEvent){
}
You could linked mcA & mcB by adding them to the same parent.
function createBlock():void
{
var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
//add the loading code here...
var mcA:Sprite = new Sprite();
var mcB:Sprite = new Sprite();
// add Click event listeners for both Mcs here...
var parent:Sprite = new Sprite();
//add Children
parent.addChild(mcA);
parent.addChild(mcB);
addChild(parent);
}
function mouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent)
{
var dispatcher:Sprite = event.currentTarget as Sprite;
//if you added a Loader to it
if( dispatcher.numChildren > 0)
{
//retrieve the image
var img:Loader = dispatcher.getChildAt(0);
//identify the parent
var parent:Sprite = dispatcher.parent;
var index:int = parent.getChildIndex(dispatcher);
//identify the receiving MC
//of course this only works with two children!!!
if(index > 0)
var receiver:Sprite = parent.getChildAt(0) as Sprite;
else
receiver = parent.getChildAt(1) as Sprite;
//add the image to the other MC
receiver.addChild(img);
}
}
The rest is not too complicated to achieve. You will need to use a Boolean and add a TextField. If the TextField contains text, set the Boolean to true.
It may be worth looking at Classes or you could use an Object as a container for the MovieClips, the TextField and the Boolean, although a Class will give you more flexibility...
With a Class, you wouldn't have to iterate in order to find what does what. Your Click listener would look something like this:
private function mouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent)
{
receiver.addChild( image );
if( hasText)
imageReturn();
}

I am wondering if i have an Array that push content that is Bitmap, how do i get index of a specific image when clicked. I tried to use indexOf but no luck, my codes are below.
Thanks for your time!
Code:
//First Part is where i add the URLRequest and add the image into contentHolder then onto Stage
function loadImage():void {
for(var i:int = 5; i < somedata.length; i++){
if(somedata[i]){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.rentaid.info/rent/"+somedata[i]));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded);
}
}
}
function onImageLoaded(e:Event):void {
loadedArray.push(e.target.content as Bitmap);
for(var i:int = 0; i < loadedArray.length; i++){
var currentY1:int = 200;
e.currentTarget.loader.content.height =200;
e.currentTarget.loader.content.y += currentY1;
currentY1 += e.currentTarget.loader.content.height +300;
_contentHolder.mouseChildren = false; // ignore children mouseEvents
_contentHolder.mouseEnabled = true; // enable mouse on the object - normally set to true by default
_contentHolder.useHandCursor = true; // add hand cursor on mouse over
_contentHolder.buttonMode = true;
_contentHolder.addChild(loadedArray[i]);
addChild(_contentHolder);
_contentHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoscene);
}
}
// then the part where i try to get the index
function gotoscene(e:MouseEvent):void {
var index:Number;
index = loadedArray.indexOf(e.target);
trace(index);
}
Edit:
var viewport:Viewport = new Viewport();
viewport.y = 0;
viewport.addChild(_contentHolder);
Your first question has very simple answer:
var image:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
var images:Array = new Array(image);
for (var i:uint = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
// images[i].bitmapData is the original image in your array
// image.bitmapData is searched one
if (images[i].bitmapData == image.bitmapData) {
// found
}
}
But your problem is bigger than this. I see you keep wandering around..
You should add listener to each child, not the content holder as one. I usually don't use Loaders, but get their Bitmaps and wrap them in Sprites or something, that I add into the scene. You should store either this Sprite or your Loader into that array, not the Bitmap. Then add listener to each of them (Sprite or Loader, not Bitmap) and get the target. Depending on what you've stored in the array, you can easily get it as:
function gotoscene(e:MouseEvent):void {
var index:uint = loadedArray(indexOf(e.target));
}
But it's important to store one specific type that will actually be clickable. Don't think about the Bitmap - it's only a graphic representation, and doesn't do much in the code.
**EDIT:
Okay I'm adding the code you need but it's important to understand what you are doing and not just rely on someone else's answer :)
function onImageLoaded(e:Event):void {
var bitmap:Bitmap = e.target.content as Bitmap; // get the Bitmap
var image:Sprite = new Sprite();
image.addChild(bitmap); // wrap it inside new Sprite
// add listener to Sprite!
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoscene);
// gets url of current image (http://website.com/images/image1.jpg)
var url:String = e.target.loaderURL;
// get only the number from that url by replacing or by some other way
// this removes the first part and results in "1.jpg"
var name:String = url.replace("http://website.com/images/image", "");
// this removes the extension and results in number only - 1, 2, 3
// it's important to change this depending on your naming convention
name = name.replace(".jpg", "");
image.name = "button" + name; // results in "button1", "button2", "button3"
// store object, name, or whatever (not really needed in your case, but commonly used)
loadedArray.push(image.name);
image.x = counter * 100; // position so you can see them, at 100, 200, 300, etc.
_contentHolder.addChild(image); // add newly created Sprite to content
}
function gotoscene(e:MouseEvent):void {
var name:String = e.target.name;
// strips down "button" from "button1", and only the number remains,
// which is 1, 2, 3, etc. the number of the scene :)
var scene:uint = name.replace("button", "");
// you're the man now :)
}
I am successful in loading a single image and creating it using addChild(). Now I am trying to load multiple images into a sprite "Container" using a forEach loop increasing the X value for each image so they are displayed in a row. The imageloader is referenced to linkage within an XML document. If I testrun this code, this error pops up at the point when the image is loaded and I try to removeChild() the loadBar Animation.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Bless you for reading this all, I don't understand what is causing this error so comments are appreciated!
You need to have an array of animations for your loaders to hold with the loaders themselves, then when another ProgressEvent.PROGRESS event will arrive, query the array for event.target index, grab corresponding animation and adjust that, and stop relying on single-valued global vars once you put a single listener onto multiple different objects!
var animations:Vector.<AllLoader>;
var loaders:Vector.<LoaderInfo>;
private function loadBG():void {
var artGrab:int=0;
var artX:int=0;
animations=new Vector.<AllLoader>();
loaders=new Vector.<LoaderInfo>;
for each (var albumData:XML in mainXML.artist[artistID].album) {
imgURL = new URLRequest(mainXML.artist[artistID].album[artGrab].art);
imgLdr = new Loader();
//if you're loading a bigger image or need a preloader
imgLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onBGLoaded);
imgLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
//add loader animation "All Loader"
ldrAnim = new AllLoader();
albumContainer.addChild(ldrAnim);
anomations.push(ldrAnim)
loaders.push(imgLdr.contentLoaderInfo); // fill the arrays
ldrAnim.x = artX;
ldrAnim.y=200;
imgLdr.load(imgURL);
artGrab++;
artX+=481;
}
}
private function onLoading(evt:ProgressEvent):void{
var bytesToLoad:Number=evt.target.bytesTotal;
var numberLoaded:Number=evt.target.bytesLoaded; // note it now refers to target of event
var index:int=loaders.indexOf(evt.target); // should be valid
var ldrAnim:AllLoader=animations[index]; // grab corresponding animation
ldrAnim.progBar.scaleX = numberLoaded/bytesToLoad;
var loadedPercent=Math.round(numberLoaded/bytesToLoad*100);
ldrAnim.progPercent.text = loadedPercent +" %";
trace("Loading..."+loadedPercent +"%");
}
Do the same trick with your onBGLoaded function yourself, as a lesson. Note, you have to retrieve imgLdr value correctly from the event.
What's happening is that you have populated the variable ldrAnim multipe times, creating a new AllLoader each time. When you call removeChild(), this works fine the first time (sort of--it will remove the last one you created, whether it matches the image that loaded or not). When you call removeChild() again, you're calling it for the same one you just removed (which is no longer a child of the object you're calling it on).
One way to fix this is to use a Dictionary and associate each AllLoader with the Loader for that image. When the COMPLETE event fires, you can then look up the Alloader based on the event's properties and remove it.
Another solution is to write a Class that wraps an AllLoader and a Loader and then handles the transition between the two itself when the Loader has finished loading.
That might look something like this:
public class LoadSwitcher extends Sprite{
protected var loader:Loader;
protected var allLoader:AllLoader;
public function loadSwitcher(url) {
super();
loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, switchLoaders);
allLoader = new AllLoader(loader);//assume AllLoader now has logic to watch the loader for % complete
loader.load(request);
addChild(allLoader);
}
protected function switchLoaders(e:Event):void {
removeChild(allLoader);
addChild(loader);
}
}
Then just create and position one of these for each one of your albums.
I'm doing a button on AS3 made out of a sprite wich (just a simple square). When I add the event listener so that it acts as a button it works but depending on button.x, so when I put the button where I want the button stops working.

If I put the squares on x=0 they do what they're suposed to do...
seems like the button you're talking about is trad. You're addChilding it quite early in your code, which means that antoher displayobject could get above it at the same position. When you click at that position, the click event will only get send to the top most element, so try adding the elements you want people to interact with as the last (buttons, text field inputs, etc.)
Your problem is in the fact that you are adding the text over the button and the text is being clicked, not the button.
Add the text to the button itself and your click event will work.
Also verify that no other component is covering the button. Even if transparent, like a textbox.
I'm trying to make something like bookmarks, I have 1 note on the stage and when the user clicks it, it starts to drag and the users drops it where they want. the problem is I want these notes to be dragged multiple times.. here is my code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//notess is the instance name of the movie clip on the stage
notess.inputText.visible = false;
//delet is a delete button inside the movie clip,
notess.delet.visible = false;
//the class of the object i want to drag
var note:notes = new notes ;
notess.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , newNote);
function newNote(e:MouseEvent):void
{
for (var i:Number = 1; i<10; i++)
{
addChild(note);
//inpuText is a text field in notess movie clip
note.inputText.visible = false;
note.x = mouseX;
note.y = mouseY;
note.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , drag);
note.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , drop);
note.delet.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK , delet);
}
}
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
note.startDrag();
}
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void
{
e.currentTarget.stopDrag();
note.inputText.visible = true;
note.delet.visible = true;
}
function delet(e:MouseEvent):void
{
removeChild(note);
}
any help will be appreciated.
You need to create a new instance of your note class when you drop, copy the location and other variables from the note you were dragging, add your new note to the stage, and return the dragging note to its original position.
Something like:
function drop($e:MouseEvent):void
{
$e.currentTarget.stopDrag();
dropNote($e.currentTarget as Note);
}
var newNote:Note;
function dropNote($note:Note):void
{
newNote = new Note();
// Copy vars:
newNote.x = $note.x;
newNote.y = $note.y;
// etc.
// restore original note.
// You will need to store its original position before you begin dragging:
$note.x = $note.originalX;
$note.y = $note.orgiinalY;
// etc.
// Finally, add your new note to the stage:
addChild(newNote);
}
... this is pseudo-code really, since I don't know if you need to add the new note to a list, or link it to its original note. If you Google ActionScript Drag Drop Duplicate, you will find quite a few more examples.
I think you are not target the drag object in drag function and problem in object instantiation
for (var i:Number = 1; i<numberOfNodes; i++) {
note = new note();
addChild(note);
...
....
}
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void{
(e.target).startDrag();
}
If you are dragging around multiple types of objects (eg. Notes and Images), you could do something like this, rather than hard coding the type of object to be instantiated.
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void{
// Get a reference to the class of the dragged object
var className:String = flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName(e.currentTarget);
var TheClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName(className) as Class;
var scope:DisplayObjectContainer = this; // The Drop Target
// Convert the position of the dragged clip to local coordinates
var position:Point = scope.globalToLocal( DisplayObject(e.currentTarget).localToGlobal() );
// Create a new instance of the dragged object
var instance:DisplayObject = new TheClass();
instance.x = position.x;
instance.y = position.y;
scope.addChild(instance);
}
The below is my code for trying to clone the MovieClip and it doesn't work.
We should see two cirles if the codes is working correctly.
/*The original MovieClip*/
var circle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
circle.graphics.beginFill(0xAA0022);
circle.graphics.drawCircle(40, 40, 40);
circle.x=10
addChild(circle);
/*CLONE the MovieClip - IT DOES'T WORK FROM HERE DOWN*/
var cloneCirle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
cloneCirle=circle
cloneCirle.x=60
addChild(cloneCirle);
When you do cloneCircle=circle, it's not copying or cloning anything. It's just saying that the variable cloneCircle is another name for your original circle MovieClip. What you need to do is use the Graphics.copyFrom() method.
Try it:
var cloneCircle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
cloneCircle.graphics.copyFrom(circle.graphics);
cloneCircle.x = 60;
addChild(cloneCircle);
This is for creating a duplicate of a stage object that exists in the FLA library at compile time
The object must have a 'Export for Actionscript ticked in it's properties panel and a valid class name in the 'Class' box
If the symbol only has a single frame just add another so it registers as MovieClip() rather than Sprite()
private function cloneObject(source:DisplayObject):void
{
var objectClass:Class = Object(source).constructor;
var instance:MovieClip = new objectClass() as MovieClip;
instance.transform = source.transform;
instance.filters = source.filters;
instance.cacheAsBitmap = source.cacheAsBitmap;
instance.opaqueBackground = source.opaqueBackground;
source.parent.addChild(instance);
instance.x += 20; // just to show the duplicate exists!
