Correct answer FlashAmit

It works now. I am thru with this components. Now I have to integrate this and make a new component. Will get back to you soon...if face any issues related to the integration...

Thanks Again.

I am back with some more questions...

- How should I write following line if I want to call the function with a parameter
btn.onRollOver = myFunction(param);

- In my class Building when I call function popDownBuilding() and popUpBuilding() internally (Line 59,60) it does not work. In fact it does not have the value of 'floors' inside the function.
After putting a instance on the Stage say instance name "a" and calling the above two functions as
a.popDownBuilding();
a.popUpBuilding();
Works well. What shud I modify to work correctly both way.

Upload the latest code with the text field. Saves me some time.

I was trying this in aseparate file.

It works all fine. Now I want a text banner along the 30degree line of floors movieclip. I added atext field in the movie clip. But as I skew its text disappear. If I trace the text it is there.
I think it has to be done using the Bitmap class and Matrix class. First converting the text to bitmap text and then applying the tranformations.
But I am not getting a way to do this....

The function animates but does not hides the movie clips.
Please help to find the errors...
//fName array stores references to the building floor movie clips
public function popDownBuilding() {
for (var i = 0; i<=floors; i++) {
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(fName , "_y", Elastic.easeOut, fName._y, 0, 20, false);
}
myTween.onMotionStopped= function() {
fName ._visible = false;
};
}

Remember to attach the code. Now I don't see the array index parameter and instead the code shows up partly italic. Try the attached code. Will probably fail (only one mc set to invisible) so you probably need to setup a seperate function to hide the mc's.

I am doing the same way but it appears the myTween.onMotionStopped is not executing

See in Flash 8 Help> MovieClip Twening Prototypes> Intructions> Additional Notes.
But there is a confusion that is for Flash MX 2004.

Couldn't find that topic. Well, the syntax for a tween using the Tween Class would be:

var myTween:Object=new Tween(bBase, "_y", Elastic.easeOut,bBase.targety,[new value],3,true);
or:
var myTween:Tween=new Tween(bBase, "_y", Elastic.easeOut,bBase.targety,[new value],3,true);
if you are targeting > Flash Player 8 (difference in datatype Object/Tween)

where [new value] should be replaced...

Thank you very much. So far i have been finding every thing going on the track.

Now I am using Tween Class.

I included

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

Replaced the MovieClip.as as described in the help.
then added

for (var i = 1; i<=floors; i++) {
//code...
bBase.targety = gFloor._y-gFloorHeight-((i-2)*floorHeight);
bBase.tween("_y", bBase.targety, 3, "easeOutElastic");

The targety value is coming out as expected.
but its not tweening.....

Now how should I refer to 'fName'

class Building extends MovieClip {
[Inspectable]
private var floors:Number;
private var fName:Array;

//code.............
public function createBuilding():Void {
var thisObj:Building=this;
//code
//in the bBase.onRollOver
trace("in>"+thisObj.fName.length);

P

Peter Lorent

Inspiring

You didn't initialize the array.
Either in init or in createBuilding:
fName=new Array();
then your code:
trace("in>"+thisObj.fName.length)
is correct.

F

FlashAmitAuthor

Inspiring

Please see for loop has access to 'floors' but not available in the 'trace'

public function createBuilding():Void {
// code.....
for (var i = 1; i<=floors; i++) {
bBase = attachMovie("bFloor", "bB"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
// code.....
bBase.onLoad = function() {
trace(floors);
}
}

P

Peter Lorent

Because the trace is in the onRollOver floors is out of scope. Try the local reference.

P

Peter Lorent

Inspiring

public function createBuilding():Void {
var thisObj:Building=this;
//code
//in the bBase.onRollOver
trace(this._name+">"+(int(this._name.charAt(this._name.length-1))+1)+">"+thisObj.floors);

F

on Rollover to the 'bFloor' MCs
trace(this._name+">"+(int(this._name.charAt(this._name.length-1))+1)+">"+floors);
returns

bB1>2>undefined
I have tried this.floors. Even then result is same

P

Peter Lorent

floors is out of scope there. Use a local reference to the class in createBuilding() to access floors.

Thanks for your help. This is solved by replacing with 'attachMovie'.

Now need to make a loop and attach a number of Movie Clips. The number of instances will be passed as argument to the class. I am not getting how to start. Where and how to declare instances.
i thought of
for (var i = 1; i<10; i++) {
this["floor"+i] = attachMovie("bFloor", "floor"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
this["floor"+i]._x = xCor;
this["floor"+i]._y = yCor-bB._height-gFloor._height-((i-1)*floorHeight);
}

but Nothing was declared earlier.
Please suggest....

>>The number of instances will be passed as argument to the class
Then you should start with declaring an inspectable:
[Inspectable] private var floors:Number;
so the number of floors will appear in the component definition dialog box as a component parameter.
Then you can use the number in the loop (just as an example)
public function createBuilding():Void {
for(var i=0;i<floors;i++){
bBase = attachMovie("bBase", "bB"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
bBase._x = xCor;
bBase._y = yCor-bB._height-gFloor._height-((i-1)*floorHeight);
size();
}
}

This works perfectly.

Now i have made the floor as animated. So as it plays to increse its height.
i want as its height increses the floors above it shift simultaneously.

I tried this

bBase.onRollOver = function() {
trace(this);
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
for (var j = int(this._name.charAt(this._name.length)); j<floors; j++) {
this["bB"+j]._y -= 12;
}
};
};

Please help. Latest Files are here.
