Set several mcs at currentLabel

[Temp06]

Hi there!


Lets' say you've got 5 buttons, each triggering his own mc
button1 makes mc1 visible
button2 makes mc2 visible

What I'm trying to achieve is : if user clicks on button n°4 > set mcs 1,2,3,5 at the same currentLabel, knowing that each mc contains 30 labels, which frame label is set through other buttons.
I'm working on a dressup game. > First the user chooses a position for the doll (5 positions available), then she chooses a dress (mc containing 30 dresses = 30 labels).
But if user selects another position, I need to remove the current dress, and apply the dress that fits the new position...

I've been searching the web & trying for over 10 hours, without success,
so many thanks for your kind help.

var myPositions = [position1_default, position2_default, position3_default, position4_default, position5_default];

for each ( var pose in myPositions)
{
	pose.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPositionClick);
	pose.buttonMode=true;
}

function onPositionClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{ 
   MovieClip(parent).positions_mc.gotoAndStop(e.target.name); // sets the doll's position

  if ( e.target == myPositions[i]  )  
    { 
     // what I'm trying to achieve : 
        if (  MovieClip(parent).myDresses_PreviousPosition.currentLabel=="currentDressLabel")
	   {  MovieClip(parent).myDresses_PreviousPosition.gotoAndStop(1);	// empty frame to remove the dress that fits the last doll's position	     
	      MovieClip(parent).myDresses_NewPosition.gotoAndStop("currentDressLabel");    
	   }
   } 
}

I've been testing many functions in vain...
Thanks for your help !!!

Hi,

I would need to see your file as I'm not sure what you are really asking for.

Thanks for your interest :
I'm gonna try to make it easy to understand, & to do so, below you'll find my code modified to make it easier to read.

lets say
* animals_mc contains a bear, a rabbit, and a giraffe.

* dresses_mc contains:
on frame 1: empty frame,
on frame 2: 1 pink dress shaped for the giraffe, // label : pink_dress_giraffe
on frame 3: 1 pink dress designed for the rabbit, // label : pink_dress_rabbit
on frame 4 : 1 pink dress tailored for the bear, // label : pink_dress_bear
on frame 5 : 1 green dress for the giraffe, // label : green_dress_giraffe
on frame 6: 1 green dress for the rabbit, // label : green_dress_giraffe
on frame 7 : 1 green dress for the bear, // label : green_dress_giraffe
and more dresses for each animal.

All of my animals start naked.
I choose the giraffe & apply it a pink dress.
If i click on the green dress, as the animal is set to giraffe, it the giraffe-shaped dress will come up.
I can apply any other dress color, by clicking on my dresses_btns, as the target animal is set. // so far so good!

But now if i click on rabbit, the giraffe-shaped dress won't disappear, as by clicking on animal, it only switches between animals, but doesn't apply the correct dress, until i call dresses_mc & choose a new dress, as a new animal had been set when I clicked on rabbit,

So what i'm lookig for is :
I choose the giraffe & apply it a pink dress. // ok, done
Then, by clicking on rabbit > I want to remove the giraffe pink dress (mc_dresses currentLabel), & replace it by rabbit pink dress .

---

As I have many dresses, many animals, many hair styles, & clothes, & accessories, I need an easy way to manage all of my items, according to the last clicked animal. Looking for the correct loop
----


NEW CODE easy to understand ( I guess & wish so)

// here we are in myAnimals buttons Display.

var myAnimals = [rabbit, bear, giraffe, crocodile];

for each ( var pet in myAnimals)
{
	pet.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAnimalClick);
	pet.buttonMode=true;
}

function onAnimalClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{ 
   MovieClip(parent).animals_mc.gotoAndStop(e.target.name); // places the chosen animal on stage

  if ( e.target == myAnimals[3]  )  /// lets say I've clicked on crocodile
    { 
         // what I'm trying to achieve : 
        if (  MovieClip(parent).dresses_mc.currentLabel=="pink_dress_giraffe")
	  {  MovieClip(parent).dresses_mc.gotoAndStop("pink_dress_crocodile");    // place the crocodile_pink_dress when crocodile is clicked, 
 // I'm looking to use dresses_mc.currentLabel instead of naming each label one by one
	   }
   } 
}

Thanks !!!

Hi,

You can edit a post within 15 minutes of posting it, after that you can not edit the post (I think it hasn't changed).

Your extra posts are just making things even more complicated for me (maybe others too), you need to attach your *.fla or make it downloadable.

There is too much going on to try and emulate your file.
