Re: [Flashcoders] Need help dynamically adding a layer to a MC.
Andrei,
themask is in there according to debug lists but I can't see it in the
.swf...
What/where is Frame 0 ?
Seems to be instanciated but not loaded. Can't find a command to explicitly
load it.
Also interesting that I can't seem to force the level on any of the movie
clips.
Thanks,
Teresa
Level #0: Frame=1
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.img_mc0"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=0 Target="_level0.img_mc0.themask"
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.img_mc1"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=0 Target="_level0.img_mc1.themask"
.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help dynamically adding a layer to a MC.
i guess you need to change:
mcTemp.duplicateMovieClip("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
to:
mcTemp.duplicateMovieClip("themask", "idono"+k, mcTemp.getNextHighestDepth

you need the next depth inside the empty movieclip. And you also need a
reference to the empty movieclip:
//target_mc.addMask = function() {
temp = "wrapper" + k;
mcTemp = target_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(temp,

mcTemp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth());

in your code, temp is a string, not a movieclip. This may be the problem.

change
temp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth());
for
temp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, temp.getNextHighestDepth());
you need the next depth inside the empty movieclip. And you also need a
reference to the empty movieclip:
//target_mc.addMask = function() {
temp = "wrapper" + k;
mcTemp = target_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(temp,

mcTemp.blendMode = "layer";
trace(k);
//};

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help dynamically adding a layer to a MC.
I ditched the function() since it wasn't executing and tried your
suggestion. The debugger now shows the "wrapper"..s getting added to the
movieclips. Hmm...progress. But the temp.attachMovie is not executing on any
layer anywhere. I just don't see why.
Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help dynamically adding a layer to a MC.
I guess you have to create an empty movie clip inside target_mc, and attach
the mask to it.

the code I learned that it creates all the movie clips first and then goes

I
tested this line separately in a different file. It sort of works although
I
couldn't tell if it was loading the mask into the movie clip or the main

Flash 8 Essentials book based on the posts I read today. Any suggestions
greatly appreciated!!!
