ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Child Text Field Through Parent Movie Clip's Class?
May 16, 2010I have one movieclip object with a custom class.
That class has a loop that creates / instantiates a number of copies of another movieclip from the library. This second movieclip has a textfield child in it. When I convert this textfield to a movieclip I can access the properties of it fine, but just as a dynamic textbox I can't access it.
This is the custom class of the second movieclip that gets instatiated a few times by the first custom class...
This custom class relates to a movieclip that has a child MC called recent_text (which I can access ok) and in that child is another child (a dynamic text field called "aDynamicTextBox", which I can't access)[code]...
ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Access Variable Within Child Movie Clip
Sep 9, 2009I have a flash file which uses php to manipulate a database and returns a variable (data_xml) of xml formated data from the database. This happens, along with other things, within the parent. Now I have a child movieclip that displays the parsed data but I am having trouble accessing the variable from within the child movieclip. The code related to this is:
var myXML:XML = new XML();var myXML = XML(event.currentTarget.root.data_xml);
and I get the following two errors which point to the second line as the problem:
1151: A conflict exists with definition myXML in namespace internal.
Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.
I have unchecked "Automatically declare stage instances" because I've seen that suggested for the 1151: error, but I still get the same two errors.

Flash :: Access A Variable In A Child File Through A Parent Flash File Using Javascript?
Feb 22, 2010I have the need to change a variable in a child Flash file.
The setup is a parent Flash file, that has called a child Flash, and placed it in a movieClip.
I can send a variable using Javascript to the parent Flash file, but not directly to the child Flash file. Is there a way that I can access the child Flash file directly with Javascript?
Or do I need to send the variable to the parent Flash file, and then have the parent send the variable to the child Flash file? Is there a sort of dot notation that I can use with Javascript to get to the child Flash file without first accessing the parent, when the child is added to the parent using the loadClip function in flash?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 - Using A Variable To Target A Movie Clip
Apr 15, 2012It doesn't really seem to say anywhere which version of Actionscript he uses, but at least it seems to show that what I'm trying to do is possible for someone, which is a start.
I'm trying to do exactly what he describes--I have several squares on a grid that are numbered, eg. grid_0101, grid_0102, grid_0103, and so on, for about 100 squares altogether, and I want to be able to target a given square dynamically.
This is the basis of the code I started with:
Code:
var digsquare_x:String = "01";
var digsquare_y:String = "03";
var digthis:String = "grid_" + digsquare_x + digsquare_y;
this[digthis]._alpha = 50;
I don't need to change the alpha specifically, I was just trying to see if I could get it to affect a given square in any way, and apparently the answer is no. I know that the value of "digthis" is accurate, but even blatantly telling it to refer to _level10[digthis] still gives me no results. Neither does _root.level10[digthis] which I tried just to see if it would work.

Feb 17, 2010I have a swf which contains a main menu bar along the top which has been added dynamically at run time. ALl the controls for this bar live inside btnHold One of these buttons loads in a new swf. There is a button within this second swf that I want to use to control the main menu bar in the top layer (I want to make it invisible for a time, or get its layer and then ensure that its not too high etc etc)However, I just can't work out how to target this btnHold from within the newly loaded swf.

Mar 18, 2010this is weird, ive tried all my resources and cant come up with the solution.
heres the heirarchy
Main Stage
sampleStage_mc (this contains all my samples)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (this is the movieclip that houses my buttons)
............................................
what i want to happen is when you click on one of the button_mc, i want it to target a frame label on the "sampeStage_mc" timeline.
heres my code:
Actionscript Code:
toshibaBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toshibaSample);function toshibaSample(evtObj:MouseEvent) { parent.gotoAndPlay("toshiba");}
theres four timelines, here is the outline
button_mc (i click this and it runs the code in sampleStageNavigation timeline)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (timeline that holds the ActionScript and the button_mc)
sampleStage_mc (timeline - this is the one I need to access)
main stage (timeline)
