Re: [Flashcoders] Copy and paste a movieClip?
Yes in AS3 you can move DisplayObjects to other parents without problems. One thing to note is that you need to remove it from the current display list before you add it to the other. Something like this: parent1.removeChild(theClip); parent2.addChild(theClip); Greetz Erik On 9/6/07, T.

[Flashcoders] Copy and paste a movieClip?
Hi list... [AS2] I'm trying to figure out how to copy a movieClip from inside a scroll pane component and paste that copy on the _root. The movieclip version of duplicateMovieClip doesn't seem to work because I can't target the clip inside the scroll pane. The global version of duplicateMovieClip doesn't seem to work because I can't say _root.duplicateMovieClip(target). Am I missing something? - Michael M. ___ 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] Copy and paste a movieClip?
Yes. As far as I know you can't duplicate movieclips into a container other than the original one. You could try attachMovie if you need to use the same movieclip symbol in different places. In any case, when you duplicate a movieclip, you don't get a clone of the current state of the object. You get a new instance of the same symbol. This means (for instance) that it doesn't matter if your movieclip-to-be-cloned was playing around frame #30, your duplicated MC will always start from frame 1. And if you had set any variables on the first MC, the duplicated won't keep those values either. I hope this helps, JulianG Mendelsohn, Michael wrote: Hi list...

As I recall, duplication in AS2 wasn't really duplication--just
instantiation of the same symbol and its associated class. In AS3 you
can do the same thing a bit differently:
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
function duplicateDisplayObject(original:DisplayObject,
parent:DisplayObjectContainer, name:String):DisplayObject {
var originalClass:Class =
getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(original));
var duplicate:DisplayObject = new originalClass() as DisplayObject;
duplicate.name = name;
parent.addChild(duplicate);
return duplicate;
}
NOTE: I haven't tested this.
