Sep 23, 2010I'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Access Main Timeline Variables?
Dec 30, 2009Is there a way to access variables on the main timeline in Flash other than MovieClip(root).myVar ? The problem I am having is that I have a movie clip that uses several main timeline variables, but when I instantiate it, it throws a 1009 type error (cannot access property of null object reference). My understanding of whats going on (and please correct me if I am wrong) is that when instantiated it runs the code on the first frame of the movieclip. However, it is not added to display list yet, so it does not have a root. Thus, all the MovieClip(root).myVar lines do not have a root to look at. Does anyone know of a way around this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button To Access MovieClip In Main Timeline?
Nov 2, 2009as always, this seemed simple in AS2, but i am stumped with this simple command in AS3.
i have a main timeline [one scene] that has multiple movies, one after each other, in different frames. i need the buttons that are placed in a layer below the movies to access various movies in the scene. was really simple in AS2.
it appears that i can get my button to go to the frame, but the movie contained in the frame will not load and or play. [i have 2 frames dedicated to each movie, the second frame, in the actions layer has a stop command]. the following is the actionscript and the errors i am getting.
AS3:
food_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playfood);
function playfood(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("food");
}

Feb 5, 2010I have a button inside a movieclip. When the button is clicked I want it to make a movieclip in the main timeline go to a specific frame. what's the code I need to use to define that movieclip located on the main timeline?

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?

Apr 13, 2007I have a movie clip I'm duplicating.
This movie clip is only one frame long and has a couple variables and functions in an actions layer on that first frame.
When I duplicate the movie clip I can't access either the variables on the timeline or the functions.
MovieClipA
var blee
var blah
var tempClip:MovieClip = MovieClipA.duplicateMovieClip('createdClip', 100);
trace(tempClip.blee) // This comes back undefined.
Is it not possible to retain the variables and functions inside a movie clip when it gets duplicated?
I know you can define the variables and functions after the duplication but I'd like to be able to have them almost like class attributes / methods for when a new clip is duplicated.
