AS3 :: Control One Movieclip From Within Another?
Jun 21, 2009
I have 2 movieclips on the main timeline of my movie; One (mc) contains an animation, the other (bt2) contains a button (bt) with code. I want it so when the button (bt) is clicked, it causes the animation (mc) on the main timeline to play.
The button's code is contained inside bt2.
So far I've tried the following things...
Code:
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{bt2(root).mc.play();}
[Code].....
... along with several other things. Nothing is working at all, and I spent all last night looking for a solution with none in sight.

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I've a basic portfolio page with 5 links. The idea being that 4 stay small and the active page is a larger font. When one link is clicked, itself and whatever font is currently large both swoop down and then the large text is replaced by whatever section the user chose.
I haven't keyframed anything, it's all done with actionscript and here it is. I made one of the links show what the var is currently set to in a dynamic text box. That all seems right. But whenever the 'currentchoice' mc is asked the swoop down, it just disappears rather than animates out. Here's the actionscript.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var currentchoice:Object = new Object();
currentchoice.selection = large_anne;

I have a nested movieclip that I need to control.I have searched the net and to this point I have been able to make it gotoAndStop at frame 1 and play().I can't make it stop.I understand that actionscript can be attached to the movieclip instance or placed on the root timeline.what I would like is direction to websites and or tutorials that might teach me how to control a nested movieclip.

I've created some animated buttons (using movieclips of keyframe animation) and when the mouse goes over the button it starts a new animation sequence.now I would like to add some text when the mouse goes over the button but I tried adding the text I want to a new layer of the animation but obviously this just plays for the duration of the animation sequence or if I add another keyframe so it only shows for a short time then it will flash up each time the sequence loops around (I don't want the overstate sequence just to play once - I want it to keep going while the mouse is over the button)

I was wondering if there is a way to control the volume of a movieclip directly without using the sound class?
Or is there a way to control the volume of the entire swf?

In Flash/ActionScript2, is it possible to capture the mousemove, buttonup and down event but only within one MovieClip? At present, i can capture mousemove etc. via a listener, but only for the entire stage..I need to draw a rectangle for selecten, and then press a save button. The problem is i save the coordinates on mousedown and up, but when I press on the save button, it saves the coordinates of when you pressed on the save button...I've tried mc.onXY, but that either listened not at all or to the entire stage...
Edit: Code as requested
mc.onMouseDown
should be
mcImageToCrop.onMouseDown
I did change it back to mc when mcImageToCrop didn't work...
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

I'm trying to control the information that will be shown in the textBox that is located in one of the frames of the movieClip but it seems that in actionScript 3.0 the code has changed. does anyone know what is the new code for doing it? My aim is that if I define a "var" on the stage and get a certain letter in that var then that letter will be shown in the movieClip in the key Frame that the textbox was set

I am trying to control a MovieClip around a scene. I know I can do this using the well known:
Code:
function onEnterFrame()
{
if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
[Code]....
It appears that the function downListener is unable to see the class scoped variable xvel though I do not iunderstand why.

I'm doing a simple game. When two objects collide, a function is activated with a movie clip of an animated explosion. I wonder how to do to control this animation so it's played two times? Just a simple for loop?Then another thing, how to create a short delay so that the code don't jump away direct without showing the explosion when there is code like gotoAndStop in the end of the function? Perhaps I also whant a tweeing rotation of the explosion movie clip before leaving the function? In some way it seem like it would be necessary with some delay?

I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger.
I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip.

here is the AS i am having trouble with
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.this.nextFrame();
[code]....
I want to make it so when i roll over my movie clip (that i attach this AS to), a different movieclip is controlled. This AS
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
[code]....
Works great, when using 'this' for the prev and next frame control but i cant figuire out how to control a different movieclip on root.

I can't find a way to control object overlaping. In example: Object1 colided with Object2 -> If Objext1y > Object2y then Object2 should go to back, I mean Object1 has to overlap it. Is there a special action for control of object to be showed in front of other object?

I'm pretty sure this is doable, but I'm not entirely sure how to set it up. Basically, I would like a specific movieclip to play when I am online and another to play when I am offline (kind of like a "hello, I'm viewing this site and am online" type thing, so others know I am at my computer).
