I have a two-frame movie clip, each frame has a stop() action.This movie clip, instanced "btn", is inside another which has one frame, also with a stop action. This second movie clip is instanced "ctrl".The file is called mcCtrl.flaFrom another file, which I consider my main movie, I am using the following to load mcCtrl.swf.[code]Everything works fine except that the "btn" movie clip keeps looping.

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

it isn't such a big problem bur for a beginner like me it is.I have a movie clip called "Lion_beginning_mc", inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.For example:Key Frame number 01 - DogKey Frame number 02 - CatKey Frame number 03 - MouseI want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.

View 0 RepliesIt's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip (that includes a preloader and video elerments) that I created and made a .swf file from which I then imported in my main movie. I then place this .swf file (which is listed as a movie clip symbol in the library) onto the main timeline. I put an action to stop the main timeline at the frame where the nested movie is placed and expected to start. When previewing the movie, the nested movie doesn't play. I see the preloader (in scene 1 of the nested movie) appears for a second but the movie doesn't play.
Any specific action command needs to be define to make the nested movie play?
i am new to flash, i have cs4.i created a 3 second flash animation of a logo.i would like to export that into other flash projects, so that those projects will play the logo first.so what is the best and most efficient way to do that?i have tried to export the logo.fla file as a movie clip or swf file but importing it into a new flash project is a bit weird, like it doesn't come in as a single symbol, but as all of the components that make up the original animation.i have watched many tutorials on nested timelines, but i can not find one on creating a mulitlayered movie clip in a separate fla file and then importing that as a single symbol into a new project fla.

I have some movie clips nested and at some point one on the left side should call one on the right side and it's not working and I'm pulling my hair, and I'm opening this thread for therapeutic purposes, I'm so angry I can't see straight
one frame in the left MC calls this
_root.pages_mc.cpr_mc.charr_mc.right_mc.gotoAndPlay("Sidney");
and it doesn't work and I don't know why, as I have a root who has a frame with a pages_mc that has a frame with cpr_mc that has a frame with charr_mc that has a frame with right_mc and there is a label 'Sidney'well, that's all. I don't even know flash very well, but looks to me that logically I'm doing it right, but flashly I'm doing it wrong...
I'm using a simple pre-loader which loads a nested MovieClip. Now I'm trying to use it on another project were the nested is a simple photo gallery were users can click on prev or next slides this works fine until adding the pre-loader if I just use a nest MovieClip with no user control it works as soon as I add a button to frame 2 it throws this error:

Quite simply, I'm trying to loop a movieclip for 15 seconds then stop without having to keep re-animating the movieclip's content. I have a stop action on the main stage, but it only targets animation happening on the stage, and not the movie clip in question. The movie clip is on its own layer on the main stage and I have extended its duration to 360 frames (15 seconds at 24fps), knowing full well that a movieclip will loop indefinitely unless otherwise commanded. It will stop if I put a stop action on a layer inside the movieclip's timeline, but the animation itself is only 1 second, so extending the timeline and redoing the animation for 15 seconds would defeat the time saving point of having a looping movieclip on the stage in the first place.
This is Flash 101, and I thought I knew how to do this properly, but I was proven wrong again and again this past weekend.
I have a movie clip (scrollBar) in my site that contains a line of other movie clips moving across the stage (scrollContent1-4). Only two of these are visible at a time, so I have lined them all up, repeated the first two at the end, and have the animation looping.
I want each of the scrollContent1-4 clips to be clickable. It's all fine on the first loop, but once the clip reaches the end and returns to frame 1 the clips are no longer clickable.
I have a movie clip, which is loading a portfolio. A movieclip holding the images drops down into the screen and then when the user clicks the return button within this movie clip, it dispatches an "end" event. In the main timeline, I have put in a gotoAndPlay(frameno); in response to the "end" event.
From this "frameno" the movie plays on and is supposed to come to a stop at the end of the timeline. The problem is that it is ignoring the last stop and jumping back to the first frame of the movie. Also, the stop I placed to let the user browse the images, and listen for the end event, is being ignored and the timeline is proceeding as normal and looping continously.[code]...

View 12 RepliesI have a movie clip 'sliderMc' which contains two other clips 'slider' and 'groove'. I've used actionscript to make the 'slider' clip move along the 'groove' and display the value of the at each point in a text field. The idea is to have a slider object that i can use multiple times. I want a situation whereby I can create instances of 'sliderMc' so that I'll be able to move the slider on the individual clips and have each slider update different variables which would then be sent to an XML file or php. Im able tp talk back and forth between php and xml with no problem; The issue I'm facing is that after creating multiple instances of 'sliderMc', I'm not able to give the 'slider' and 'groove' movie clips different instance names without changing the instance names of all other 'slider' and 'groove' instances of 'sliderMc'. Which in turn makes it difficult to distinguish between the different sliders in actionscript.

How can i call a nested movie clip from inside a movie clip I now i am not able to explain u but if anybody can take a look at file[code]...
i created a functionality for minimizing and maximizing it (on the stage only)by keeping the whole application in a movie clipand then animating that movie clip on press of a buttonnow the issue is thatwhen i reverse the playback of timeline(to expand the application)it expands in its initial statebut i want it to remember the last state of my nested movie clip(10 lvls of nestin ) and expand in in that state.
View 4 RepliesI am making an interactive map of the US.When you hover over a state it zooms in and cities pop up.When you click the city it should a page, for now just google.I have the basics for the first state, California.The zoom works and the cities pop_up.However, when you click the city the link doesn't work. The cities are instances of a movie clip, city.I placed them inside the CA movie clip in their approx locations and named them SF_mc, LA_mc, SD_mc respectively.Here is the code.i added some comments.the FLA is attached in zip as well.It is CS5 file but I'm more familar with AS2 so yea.This is the first frame of the CA movie clip, actions layer
Code:
stop();
/this is all zoom stuff
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code].......
In the first frame the cities are not on the stage yet. They are add later when the state is zoomed. SO i thought maybe that is why it not working so i tried duplicating the code on the frame after the zoom where i add the cities and it is still not working...
I've been trying to remove a movieclip which is nested within another movie clip.
removeMovieClip(_root.barobjects.smallblue);
(oh, I tryed **_root.barobjects.smallblue.removeMovieClip();** also)
is there any reason why this shouldn't work?
After figuring out that removeMovieClip won't work on objects with negative depth numbers, I've run into another stumbling block in some menu generation code I'm working on.For the most part, my menu code is complete, and functional. However I've been trying to clean up some of the display methods to make it a nicer and smoother interface.
When you rollover a menu item, a submenu appears. This submenu consists of a number of items. Let's pretend we have this MAIN MENU > SUBMENU > ITEM 1, ITEM2, ITEM 3.ITEM 1, ITEM2, and ITEM 3 are nested in SUBMENU. For example, the full path for ITEM 1 is _level0.mainmenu.submenu.item1.
SUBMENU itself consists of a background object and the item objects. The items all have event handlers assigned to them. onRollOver highlights a selection, onRollOut unhighlights the selection, onRelease jumps to the appropriate Movie Clip.
What I would like to do is assign an onRollOut event to SUBMENU that collapses the menu on a mouse roll out event. It works, however, when I do this, the event handlers of the nested ITEMs become nonfunctional. Is it not possible for parent and child movie clips to both have onRollOut events assigned to them? Or is there something else I'm missing?
