trace(RandomArray[0]);

trace(clip);

var c:MovieClip = MovieClip(RandomArray[0]);

addChild(clip); // it’s OK

addChild(c); // I get the error msg bellow:

Scene 1, Layer 'movies', Frame 1, Line 29              1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Could someone help me out?

I cannot add MovieClip on the stage from the array.

[kglad]

use:

addChild(DisplayObject(c));

[gardo]

I have tried these with no success

#1

var c:MovieClip = MovieClip(RandomArray[0]);

addChild(DisplayObject(c));

#2

addChild(DisplayObject(RandomArray[0]));

[kglad]

attach a screenshot of the error message, and your code so we can see the code line numbers, and the timeline so we can see that there is code in only 1 layer of frame 1.

here

I need some more technical help on something in AS. I would like different movie clips to be playing on the stage in a random order and repeat forever. I need to add to the code an EventListener which sees the movie clip end and starting to play the next movie clip. I already have used timer, but it’s not good, because I want to watch the whole movie clip so ignore the timer in the code. Could you show me a solution?

import flash.display.MovieClip;

var clip1:clip01 = new clip01  ;

var clip2:clip02 = new clip02  ;

var clip3:clip03 = new clip03  ;

var clip4:clip04 = new clip04  ;

var clip5:clip05 = new clip05  ;

var files:Array = new Array();

pushArray(clip1,clip2,clip3,clip4,clip5);

function pushArray(c1,c2,c3,c4,c5:MovieClip){

                files.push(c1);

                files.push(c2);

                files.push(c3);

                files.push(c4);

                files.push(c5);

                }

function randomizeArray(array:Array):Array

{

                var newArray:Array = new Array();

                while (array.length > 0)

                {

                                newArray.push(array.splice(Math.floor

                                (Math.random()*array.length), 1)[0]);

                }

                return newArray;

}

var RandomArray:Array = randomizeArray(files);

var testTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

1. testTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,updateFile);
2. testTimer.start();

function updateFile(event:TimerEvent):void

{

                if (RandomArray.length == 0)

                {

pushArray(clip1,clip2,clip3,clip4,clip5);

                                RandomArray = randomizeArray(files);

                }

                trace('play file',RandomArray[0]);

                RandomArray.shift();

}

//addChild(RandomArray[0]);

problem solved! thanks anyway

I have done till this the following code bellow. I’d like movie clip on the

stage to be playing one after another in a randomized order in a loop. I

used a timer, but this solution is not good, because the movies are not

playing till the end. I need an EventListener to listen the end of the clip.

How this code could be modified to work well, could you give me a solution

to this problem?

import flash.display.MovieClip;

var clip1:clip01 = new clip01 ;

var clip2:clip02 = new clip02 ;

var clip3:clip03 = new clip03 ;

var clip4:clip04 = new clip04 ;

var clip5:clip05 = new clip05 ;

var files:Array = new Array();

pushArray(clip1,clip2,clip3,clip4,clip5);

function pushArray(c1,c2,c3,c4,c5:MovieClip){

files.push(c1);

files.push(c2);

files.push(c3);

files.push(c4);

files.push(c5);

}

function randomizeArray(array:Array):Array

{

var newArray:Array = new Array();

while (array.length > 0)

{

newArray.push(array.splice(Math.floor

(Math.random()*array.length), 1)[0]);

}

return newArray;

}

var RandomArray:Array = randomizeArray(files);

var testTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

testTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,updateFile);

testTimer.start();

function updateFile(event:TimerEvent):void

{

if (RandomArray.length == 0)

{

pushArray(clip1,clip2,clip3,clip4,clip5);

RandomArray = randomizeArray(files);

}

trace('play file',RandomArray[0]);

RandomArray.shift();

}

//RandomArray[0].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, VideoFinished);

function VideoFinished(e:Event):void {

if (RandomArray[0].currentFrame==RandomArray[0].totalFrames) {

trace("finished");

}

}

//addChild(RandomArray[0]);

I solved the problem..
