change AS1 to AS2

[pizza0502]

timerID = setInterval(functionName, 1000);

function functionName()
{
    i = i + 1;
    duplicateMovieClip(_root.circle, "circle" + i, i);
}

can anyone help me change this to AS2?

I guess Im not sure what you mean? are you sure want AS2? not AS3?

AS2 is very similar.. I think gave us a few more functions/classes..etc..

but more so just datatyping..

example:

var timeDelay:Number = 1000;
var timerID = setInterval(functionName, timeDelay);

function functionName() {
var i:Number = i + 1;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.circle, "circle" + i, i);
}

Hi,

yah, i want to change it to AS2.

the script you give me is work, but can it be duplicate the circle to 10 circle?

and how can i interact with those duplicated circle? is it like:
circle1.onRelease function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(2)
}

here is the working file i attached.

I only have CS3

so I couldnt open your file..

but you want to do something like this? (every couple seconds add a new circle to the stage.. but stop after 10 circles are added to the stage?

these circle all need to be interactive as well? click on them they need to do something?


try this:

make a movieClip...in your LIBRARY.. needs to have the LINKAGE NAME OF circle_mc


then just use this code:

var totalCircles:Number = 10;
var circleCounter:Number = 0;
var timeDelay:Number = 100;

var timerID = setInterval(createCircles, timeDelay);

function createCircles() {
    trace("fired");
    var newCircle = _root.attachMovie("circle_mc", "circle_"+circleCounter, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
    trace("NEW: "+newCircle);   
    //place randomly on stage
    newCircle._x = random(Stage.width);
    newCircle._y = random(Stage.height);    
    //add interactive code
    newCircle.onPress = function(){
        this.startDrag();
        trace("Name: "+this);
    }
    newCircle.onRelease = function(){
        stopDrag();
    }
    //update counter var
    circleCounter++;
    trace("Counter: "+circleCounter);
    //check to see if last circle added
    if(circleCounter == totalCircles){
        clearInterval(timerID);
    }
}

Thanks Whispers!
This work for me.
sorry for the flash version because my office is using CS5.

I think i still have something to ask but i will figure it out myself 1st.

Thanks again!

if you wanted to change each circle clip to its own internal frame #2 when clicked/pressed.

you would just add this:

newCircle.onPress = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
