SWF::MovieClip - MovieClip Class
use SWF::MovieClip; my $movieclip = new SWF::MovieClip();
SWF::MovieClip allows you to add animated objects to your Flash movies.
Returns an SWF::MovieClip object.
add($swfobject)
When you add following types of objects to the $mc they will return a SWF::DisplayItem:
[ToDo: to be verified:
When you add a SWF::Sound the return value is a SWF::SoundInstance:
$si = $mc->add($sound)
; ]
startSound($sound)
Starts making noise and returns an object of SWF::SoundInstance class.
stopSound($sound)
Stops sound started by startSound()
method.
remove($di)
Removes SWF::DisplayItem $di from the display list.
nextFrame()
Move to the next frame in the timeline of SWF::MovieClip $mc
setNumberOfFrames($i)
setFrames($i)
Sets total number of $mc frames to $i
This is an optional autofiller, e.g. when you want to be sure that 2 different movieclips
have 100 frames when playing, but the number of nextFrame()
calls in these 2 movieclips is unknown or
dynamic (dependent on data from databases, whatever). By default a movieclip the number of frames
in the timeline is how often you called $mc->nextFrame for this clip.
labelFrame($name)
Sets frame name to $name. You are then able to access this frame by name in ActionScript, not just by frame number.
This function (available from SWF>=8) sets a 9 slice scaling grid: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 X, y, w and h define a rectangle, which is the dimension of the center slice (5). All other slices are determined out of the characters bounds and the defined rect. While slice 5 is scaled vertical and horizontal, slice 2 and 8 are only scaled horizontal. Slice 4 and 6 only vertical. The 4 corner slices are not scaled (1, 3, 7, 9). [ToDo: to be verified]
removeScalingGrid()
Removes scaling grid rectangles.
addInitAction($action)
Adds an initial ActionScript block to MovieClip $mc. These actions are executed before the MovieClip is available as a script object. [ToDo: to be verified]
Includes streaming sound to a movie. [ToDo: add more doc and a demo here.]
