Multiple Movie Clips On Stage - Buttons Not Working In Movie Clips?

Jul 15, 2009

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

IDE :: Make Some Buttons That Play Different Parts Of Multiple Movie Clips?

Mar 10, 2010

I am trying to make some buttons that play different parts of multiple movie clips- and also link to a url. I also want to be able to click on a movie clip and make it play starting from a certain point (this is what I have been working on) I have this code

stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
froggy.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);
}

it is on an actions layer of my main timline- I am not sure if I put it in the wrong place or what- but it doesn't do ANYTHING when I click on it when testing the movie. I gave the frogdance movie clip the instance name 'froggy' in the properties panel. The rest of what I am working with will be buttons that do things- but I also want this movie clip thing to work...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function For _root - Control A Movie Clips Current Frame By Another Movie Clips?

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}

but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:

on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Attaching Movie Clips To Already Attached Movie Clips?

Jun 5, 2011

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.

Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.

Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?

Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details

code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating 'reflection' Of A Movie Clip By Dragging Multiple Movie Clips

Apr 5, 2011

how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!

ActionScript 1/2 :: Loading Multiple Movie Clips Inside Another Movie Clip?

Mar 11, 2010

I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
 
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
 
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating / Using Movie Clips Outside Of Movie Clips

Aug 18, 2005

Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.

What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

ActionScript 3.0 :: 50 Different Buttons With 50 Different Movie Clips?

Mar 5, 2009

I'm creating a timeline of events with about 50 different points to click on. When each event is clicked on, a movie clip needs to appear (or tween onto) the screen. Then, when another event is clicked on, the previous content needs to go away so that the new content can appear.

A prefect example of what I'm talking about can be seen here:

[URL]

I've created a custom class of "TimePoint" that has a public property of date, so that I can assign a date to each individual instance of my TimePoint class.

In my fla, he timeline itself is a movie clip that needs to scroll back and forth as the mouse is moved. It contains the nested instances of my TimePoint class. I already have the scrolling movement taken care of, and I also have a tooltip date appearing over each point in time. Now I just need to figure out how to manage 50 different movie clips, each with and without graphics, bitmaps, etc.

I'm just wondering if there is any way to do this without having to create 50 different event listeners and 50 different classes just so that I can add/remove children. I'm thinking I need to use an array, but I don't know how I would implement it. I'm also not very familiar with XML.

My progress so far can bee seen here:

Using Movie Clips As Buttons To Navigate?

For my online gallery, I'm using movie clips as buttons to navigate. I was having the movie clip play when you scrolled over it and off of it. Now i have it so when you click on it, it stops at the mid-way point. What on is to get it to go back to its original state when I click on something else. So basically I'm looking for a way to go back to frame 1 when a different movie clip/button is clicked on. I want it to revert back to what it was in an inactive state when I click on a different part, but I don't know how to do that

Professional :: Buttons And Movie Clips (on And Off)

Jul 15, 2011

I'm working on my own personal website for my graphic design work and I'm using flash for the intro movie, which you can either skip or after an elapsed time, sends you directly to the home page. On that intro movie (which ill call animatedface_mc) i've put two other movie clips with the eyes blinking (left and right). The eyes would be constantly blinking, as this page is open. That one is working. Off to the side are buttons of names of famous celebrities and once clicked it adds movie clips to the main animatedface_mc. For example if i clicked on the monroe_mc, it adds that famous Marilyn Monroe mole (using either mask or opacity, depending on the facial feature) on the animatedface_mc. If I clicked on tyson_mc, it adds his face tattoo. I've used the following code for this:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Concerning Buttons Within Movie Clips?

Jan 14, 2004

Being rather "green" with actionscripting, I am having difficulties using a sliding menu (very similar to the "infinite menu" tutorial here on kirupa) in conjuction with some actionscripting to interact with some external movies outside the main movie I am working with. What I want to do is to use each button within the menu to reference a flash movie outside the menu bar (which is a movie clip). Before I sound even more vague let me show you the code first....

aboards.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("aboard.swf", "target");
};

So here I have a button instance (aboards) of one of the 10 buttons in the menu. I want to then reference a movie clip called "target" in the main scene of my movie to then load and display the movie aboard.swf at this reference point.

This code works well with static buttons on the main scene, but here each of the 10 buttons are located within the movie clip that makes the sliding menu work. The instance "aboards" of course works if I assign the instance to the movie clip, but then that of course means that ALL 10 buttons then will be assigned "aboards". What code change can I make to fix this issue so that each of the 10 buttons (within the movie clip) carry their own instance that can be referenced from the main scene?
