[Flashcoders] DuplicateMovieClip - type mismatch error
Hi all, I'm trying to duplicate a clip and I'm getting a type mismatch error. Undoubtedly it's something silly but I'm not getting anywhere fast. I have a flash movie with a .as file attached. In the .as file, I want to copy a movie clip. Inside the _customerArt array are two MovieClips This is the code here: *_currentCustomer = _customerArt[customerType]; createEmptyMovieClip(_newCustomer, getNextHighestDepth()); //duplicateMovieClip(_currentCustomer, _newCustomer, this.getNextHighestDepth()); trace(_currentCustomer = [+_currentCustomer+] and _newCustomer = [+_newCustomer+]); * two things, the duplicate line is only commented out to allow the trace to work (the mismatch stops execution) the trace outputs the following: * _currentCustomer = [_level0.mcDavid] and _newCustomer = [_level0.mcSalesScreen._newCustomer]* I have tried creating the empty clip and not creating it - no difference. Both _currentCustomer and _newCustomer are vars declared at the top of the class. Any idea why I'm getting a type mismatch? Docs say: *duplicateMo**vieClip(target:String, newname:String, depth:Number) : Void * looks to me like I'm using two strings and a number. i have tried this definition: *duplicateMovieClip(target:MovieClip, newname:String, depth:Number) : Void* and I have also tried *_newCustomer = this.duplicateMovieClip(_currentCustomer, this.getNextHighestDepth());* But that's not working either. Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] DuplicateMovieClip - type mismatch error
Hi all, I'm looking into this further and although I don't have a solution - I have a bit more info. The following code creates a duplicate of my movie clip: *var testClip:MovieClip; var david:MovieClip = _customerArt[0]; testClip = david.duplicateMovieClip(testClip, getNextHighestDepth());* when I put it on frame 0 of my movie But when I move it to an actionscript file it stops working. now, I know my _customerArt[0] movie clip IS being loaded into 'var david' because when I move it's _x around, it behaves accordingly. So, why is it that the movie clip doesn't create a duplicate when inside a function in an actionscript file?

Re: [Flashcoders] DuplicateMovieClip - type mismatch error
Try doing this .. var testClip:MovieClip; var david:MovieClip = _customerArt[0]; testClip = david.duplicateMovieClip(testClip, this.getNextHighestDepth()); On 4/18/06, David Farrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm looking into this further and although I don't have a solution - I have a bit more info.

Re: [Flashcoders] DuplicateMovieClip - type mismatch error
It does nothing. I don't see what you suggested differently to what I was already doing? The asterix in my code was my email client's way of demonstrating bold. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] duplicateMovieClip() ?
I can invoke this function in my Scene.
function alot(max) {
var basename:String = circle_mc;
for (var i = 0; imax; i++) {
_root.it_mc.duplicateMovieClip(basename+i, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
_root[basename+i]._x = 100+i*5;
_root[basename+i]._y = 100+i*5;
}
}
alot(5);
it_mc is a MovieClip on the Scene.
2006/3/13, Edward Hotchkiss [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
hmm ...
// begin code
function alot(max) {
var basename:String = circle_mc;
for(var i = 0; i max; i++) {
_root.it_mc.duplicateMovieClip(basename+i, this.getNextHighestDepth() );
_root[basename+i]._x = 100 + i*5;
_root[basename+i]._y = 100 + i*5;
}
}
the trace returns 0. why are my dynamically duplicated movieclips not
showing up on the stage???

[Flashcoders] duplicateMovieClip question
The snippet below takes one clip and duplicate it in rows and columns
- simple stuff.
_root.attachMovie(seat,seat_mc,_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:-1000,_y:0});
function createSeats (xSpacing:Number,ySpacing:Number,rows:Number,cols:Number) {
var xSpacing:Number = xSpacing;
var ySpacing:Number = ySpacing;
var xStart:Number = 10;
var yStart:Number = 30;
var v:Number = 0;
var i:Number = -1;
// specified by the user
var rows:Number = rows;
var cols:Number = cols;
while (++i cols) {
var j:Number = -1;
while (++j rows) {
++v;
var name:String = seat + v;
_root[seats].duplicateMovieClip (name, v);
_root[name]._x = xStart + i * xSpacing;
_root[name]._y = yStart + j * ySpacing;
}
}
}
createSeats(10,10,7,20);
Now rather than the final result being duplicated in rows and cols
like a square or a box, I'd like to let the user decide the amount of
angle to the left or right , so as to give it a perspective or
skewed look - if that makes any sense.
Please see the attached gifs for a better explanation.
Any help appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] duplicateMovieClip question
Johan,
The list does not accept attachments, so your gifs didn't come
through. It isn't clear to me what kind of rotation you're looking
for -- the same applied to every clip, or something else. Please post
the gifs to a URL, or send a more thorough description of what you
need to happen.
