IDE :: Accessing Timeline From Within Class?
Oct 23, 2009I'm trying to write a class that somehow emulates the old AS2 gotoAndPlay(); function, but i'm failing to find a way to reference the timeline that is calling the Class Constructor.

I Know senocular adressed the timeline issues in one of this forum's post, but i can't figure out what to do in order to register this class in the specific timeline in order to control it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline From An External .swf
Apr 29, 2010I'm definitely more designer than flash developer (as most of you might know. At least those that hang in the lounge or Arena). I need to know how to allow a loaded .swf file to control the main timeline in AS3.
I have a container .swf that includes global controls (jump menu/volume control) and branding. Loading a swf for the dialogue boxes (timeline animated ... although I realize there may be better ways to handle it). Another swf for a simcity-ish illustration that has animated elements with various states. I need all to be able to communicate with each other. I was able to load the movies no problem. Even communicate with the loaded ones from the main timeline. Just need to be able to go the other way.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline From Loaded SWF
Mar 11, 2009I have a question about accessing functions or variables on the main timeline from a loaded swf. I know that there are a few ways to do this
1. Casting the timeline as a movie clip
Loader SWF Script
var testText:String = "Test";
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
loadData("loaded.swf");
function LoadData(aURL){
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(aURL));
addChild(myLoader);
}
2. Cast the timeline as a generic object
var parentObj:Object = this.parent as Object;
parentObj.unloadSWF("loaded.swf")
Why can you not just reference the main timeline of the container swf directly.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Button Timeline From A Movieclip
Aug 18, 2009We want to change the functionality of an asset. The original has a complex diagram where each part is a button. On rolling over the parts, the part is highlighted and some text appears.
We need to change it so that there will be a list of moviclips with the names of the components inside and when the user rolls over the movieclip, the corresponding part does its thing, that is, gets highlighted etc.
One solution is to change all those buttons to movieclips so that we can use a regular gotoAndStop() etc but it would save a lot of work if we can use a movieclip onRollOver to go to the over state of the button. Is that possible?
In checking the properties of the button class, I see there are no frame properties, so some workaround will likely be needed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Accessing Variables On The Timeline?
Sep 21, 2011Okay so there are four variables on my timeline, two of which are arrays:

var greenNum:int = 1;
var pinkNum:int = 1;
whenever I refer to them from a class file by just the variable names I get a 1120 undefined variable error. But if I call for example stage.pinkNum I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property stage.pinkNum through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline Variables From Within A MovieClip
Jun 13, 2009Let us say we have a movieclip "mc1" on the stage. We also have another movieclip "mc2" inside mc1. We have declared a variable, say, var number1:Number=5 on the first frame of the main timeline. Now we go inside mc1 and then inside mc2 and write some code on its first frame. Is there any way to use the variable number1 over here? Can properties of mc1 be altered using the code written here? In AS2, it could be done using the "_parent" command, but it doesn't seem to work in AS3. (when we use parent and try accessing a property, it says that it is possibly undefined)

Oct 10, 2010have a very simple question, (Bear with me I'm still quite new to as3 and some of my terminology may not be solid) I want to access a function that is within my document class when a movie clip on the timeline has played to a specific point (being the end). I have already been able to call another function from the document class at the top/root level (it is called to initialize all clips and buttons when you click on the "enter" button on the splash screen. Problem is that I cannot call another function (in the document class) from a movie clip within a movie clip on the timeline. Is there an easy way to do this? I have considered writing a separate class for the movie clip and then adding it onto the movie clip (using the property panel). I don't really want to do it this way because I am already using a base class on that movie clip and 3 others that use a set of generic functions.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline Variable From Within A Class?
Dec 20, 2010I have a class, the relevant parts of which are defined as follows:
class myClass extends MovieClip {
public function myfunc() {
trace( "mainVar: " + _root.mainVar );
}
}
As you can see, I want to access the variable "mainVar", which exists in the main movie, from within the class. This works fine, if I have only one instance of the class. But, if I have more than one instance, within separate movie clips, the value of mainVar is always taken from the first instance. How do I refer to the actual instance from within the class?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Class Variable In The Main Timeline?
Jun 2, 2011Here's my main class:

Basically the class waits for the callback variable (my_msg). The problem is: I need to set the dynamic textbox text to my_msg variable.
How can I access it? I know I can access a public var in the timeline with functioname.variable but I can't define a public var inside a function, right?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Nested MovieClips From The Main Timeline
Jun 3, 2009I was trying to access some nested movieClips from the main time line but it was giving an error. What I have is a movieClip on the stage called "dog" and inside this movieClip I have two nested movieClips called "dogLH" and "dogRH". The movieClip "dog" was brought to the stage using actionscript 3.0 and when I tried to move the moveClips inside "dog" it gave me an error.
This is the code I have:
var dogog = new Dog();
dog.x =200;
dog.y =150;
[Code]....
What is strange is that if I add the movieClip "dog" to the stage manually and try the same thing it works. Any idea why it doesn't work when it is brought to stage with actionscript, but it works if I bring this manually?
