Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / July 2008Duplicating Movie Clips
Sorry if this is a basic question but if I have 25 bitmaps or bitmaps converted to movie clips., can I automatically duplicate multiple instances of an existing movie clip but replace the bitmaps in each one ?....does that make sense ?? I'll try again ! iFor example I have a small clip using bitmap 1 involving, say, a simple tween...is there a quick way to duplicate that clip for every bitmap in the library without doing it manually.... Not really. You could try using JSFL to automate it. It sounds complex, but once you learn how to use it, it's quite simple. Similar to photoshop actions, you record the process of duplicating the MovieClip and replacing the Bitmap, then edit the JSFL code to apply the 'action' to all the bitmaps in your library. Hope that helps I had my first dabbling with JSFL the other day.....I think I need to go away and do some reading !! Thanks for the advice.... course, another solution here would be to use a 'single' mc - and at runtime load the Bitmap into a BitmapData object and attach it to the mc dynamically, then use the Tween class to tween the mc. constructed within a method - you could call the method and pass the bitmap to load - this would eliminate having to 'make' all of the mc instances, and also greatly reduce the file size. additionally - one could house the bitmaps externally and use the MovieClipLoader class to bring them to the stage only when needed, which would drastically reduce the file size and load time. That sounds good, of course it may as well be in Sanskrit for my level of Flash expertise....I will add all these 'classes' (whatsoever they may be) to my lengthening reading list. |
