Please, please help!!
I’m trying to duplicate a movie clip that has several child clips, after I’ve rotated the child clips. My code:
ctrX = Stage.width/2;
ctrY = Stage.height/2;
button.onRelease = function() {
box.s1._rotation -= 45;
box.s2._rotation -= 45;
box.s3._rotation -= 45;
for (var i=1; i< 9; i++) {
var depth = (i-1)*4;
var rot = (i-1) * 45;
var dbox:MovieClip = box.duplicateMovieClip(“box”+i,depth+1,{_x:ctrX, _y:ctrY, _rotation:rot});
var dmask:MovieClip = mask.duplicateMovieClip(“mask”+i,depth+2,{_x:ctrX, _y:ctrY, _rotation:rot});
dbox.setMask(dmask);
}
}
The clips “box” and “mask” are in a single frame on the stage, as is button, and the clips s1,s2 and s3 are in a single frame in “box.” There’s no other code anywhere.
What I want to do is duplicate “box” after mainpulating its child clips. What I get is a duplicate of the original “box” each time I press the button. Can someone help?
BTW, the above stuff is a prototype, strictly to try to figure what in the hay is going on. My goal, eventually, is to populate the “box” with dynamic content, then duplicate it multple times.
Thanks,
