Actionscript 3.0 :: Referencing MC From Nested Button

Dec 4, 2009

I am working on a tool for use in our office which creates XML. At this point I am working on getting an error message to appear when the user enters incorrect data in one of the textfields. I have a MC which contains my error message as well as a button. The button will move the MC back off of the stage. Everything works up to the point where I click the nested button. I suspect there is a problem in referencing the parent MC from the button. Here is the code for the entire project. I am sure there are more than a few errors since I am relatively new to AS.

Flex :: Referencing Component IDs Within Modules, Nested Viewstacks?

Dec 23, 2010

The IDs for all tags in an MXML component, no matter how deeply nested they are, generate public variables of the component being defined. As a result, all id properties must be unique within a document. This also means that if you specified an ID for a component instance, you can access that component from anywhere in the application: from functions, external class files, imported ActionScript files, or inline scripts.

Which is fine if your application is all contained within one MXML, but I'm having trouble referencing IDs of components within Modules, and then inside ViewStacks/Navigation Containers within a given Module.

If I can reference a module with FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.myModule, shouldn't I be able to reference a Panel called myModulePanel with the following?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Instances From Movie Clips If The Movie Clip Referencing From Is Nested?

Mar 23, 2010

It'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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing A Movieclip Within An Attached Movieclip?

Nov 29, 2006

I am trying to reference a movieclip within a movieclip that I am loading using "attachmovie". In the first frame of the root, I am attaching the movie. Then, from the attached movie I am calling a function that is also in the first frame of the root. In the function I am tring to set the property of a clip within the attached movie to visible using the following code:

_root.logIn.loginMessage._visible = true;

I have also tried _root["logIn"].loginMessage._visible = true; with no luck.

(logIn is the name of the clip I am attaching using attachMovie and loginMessage is the clip I am trying to reference in the attached movie)

This is how I'm loading it and I know that part is working: _root.attachMovie("login_mc","logIn",getNextHighes tDepth());

ActionScript 2.0 :: F8 - Referencing MovieClip After Attaching It

Feb 17, 2009

I'm having issues trying to reference a movieClip after attaching it. What I have is:
Code:
btn_instructions.onRelease = function() {
instructions = true;
attachMovie("parchment", "mc_parchment", getNextHighestDepth(), { _x:280, _y:280 });
} mc_parchment.btn_close.onRelease = function() {
instructions = false;
trace("close");
removeMovieClip(mc_parchment);
}

The first is creating it on top of the other items that are created during the game. I can't have the instructions on the timeline and just change the visibility of it due to all the assets this game is making. The instructions variable is used in an if statement elsewhere in the game to lock the user controls so they can't create anything else in the game while your viewing the instructions. The second function is the one that should close it. The movie clip that's attached has a button in it, with the instance name btn_close. The trace doesn't even pop up so it's not targeting it correctly. Yet when I go to 'debug' and 'list objects' both mc_parchment and mc_parchment.btn_close are listed as being in the scene after clicking the instructions button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Movieclip In Game

Sep 20, 2009

var xBoard:Number = Math.floor(mouseX/cellSize);
var yBoard:Number = Math.floor(mouseY/cellSize);
if (board[(yBoard-1)][xBoard] == 0)
{
root.getChildByName("b"+(yBoard-1)+xBoard).alpha = .7;
}

I want to be able to call various movieclips I have arranged in a grid from these two variables (xBoard and yBoard). They get new values every time I click on my gameboard.

Basically I check if they space ahead of the unit is empty. If it is I want the alpha of that space to change designating you can move there. The movieclips are arranged in a grid and named b00 (top left) to b77(bottom right).

This is the error message:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildByName through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.

If I take out the getChildByName... root.("b"+(yBoard-1)+xBoard).alpha = .7;
This is the error message:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing A MovieClip With A Variable?

I'm trying to set something up that will print a bunch of boxes on a grid in a certain pattern, and set things up so that a path can be determined from the start to the end. Each grid square is a MovieClip with an instance name x0y0, x1y0, etc. for each coordinate of the grid. I want to set a variable in my grid square class to 1 or 0, depending on whether or not a box is in that square. So I have this code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Movieclip In Array

Jun 13, 2011

Just learning as3. For testing purposes, I duplicated a movieclip 4 times on the stage and gave each mc a different instance name and put them in an array ("line1","line2","line3","line4"). Then I just want one movieclip to move 200 pixels based on the conditions of the array. Here is the code:

var stuff:Array = new Array("line1","line2","line3","line4");
for(var i:int=0;i<stuff.length;i++)
{
if ((stuff[i]) == "line4") {
trace(stuff[i]);
var duke = (stuff[i]);
[duke]y += 200;
}
}

It traces out the correct mc (line4) but ALL the movieclips move 200 pixels instead of the one (line4). Do you know why this is? I have a feeling that [duke]y is not the correct way to reference the movieclip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing The Same MovieClip Repeatedly?

May 31, 2010

I'm trying to make a loader class that will spit back MovieClip data from the Loader. If another class/function requests the same data (Rather, the same file), rather than making a new loader and re-loading it, I was hoping to just have it return the same MovieClip. This all works to some extent, but the problem I'm having is this - Because the new request is adding the MovieClip, it's taking it away from the old one.

I tried making a copy when the request is made, but the image is generally not loaded then, and because the copies aren't updated, most of the images are empty when everything requests it.So basically what I'm hoping you can guide me towards is a sort of... C++ pointer-esque thing, something that could point to the MovieClip data without actually taking it away from everything else. I've messed with AS3 for a while, but can't find anything like that. Or any other method that would let multiple MovieClips reference a single "original" movie clip, reference-style.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Revisiting: Referencing A MovieClip Using A Variable?

Jun 15, 2009

This is a problem I thought I understood and was addressed in a previous thread [URL] but I have a new situation where the old solution isn't working.I have 3 instances on a "nested" movie clip. Their instance names are: b1, b2, and b3. When I trace these movieclips from the main timeline, I get:
 
trace(b1); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b1
trace(b2); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b2
trace(b2); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b3
 
From the main timeline, I want to fade up these movieclips using tween, but I need to do this by building the instance name in a variable:

var myInstance:String = "slide_mc.newMC.b"+ instanceNumber //(instanceNumber is equal to 1, 2, or 3)
 
Now, I thought using the variable in this manner would work:

new Tween (this[myInstance], "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);

...but it doesn't.
 
I've checked trying to use the actual movie clip instance:

new Tween (this.slide_mc.newMC.b1, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
 
...and it works fine.

Inside the Main movie clip I have this (entire code):

ActionScript 2.0 :: Tweening With Dynamic Movieclip Referencing?

Oct 22, 2009

First of all: this is my first post at actionscript.org *happysound*. I'm working on this flash gallery since a couple of days and something is drinving me crazy in actionscript.

The concept: in this part of the flashfile i'm loading thumbnails in dynamicly created movieclips on stage (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg). Everything is working fine, but now I wanted to add some fancy fading when the loading of a single thumb completes. For some reason I can not get the tweening class working and I'm sure it's a problem with the referencing to the clip. I know this cause when I change "thumb"+i to thumb1 it is working. Googled for hours without result..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Stage From Within MovieClip Or Class

Dec 9, 2009

I'd like to know how I can reference root stage values from within a movieclip, or even worse, from a class. For example, I have a class called Bground.as. It does stuff, according to current stage size - so if someone were to resize the window/browser, Background updates in real time and does something fancy while it's at it. To do this "fancyness", I need stageheight and stagewidth. However, simply pointing to them does not work.

Here's the simplified ActionScript Code:
package klaseFP{
// imports
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;
public class Bground extends MovieClip{
[Code] .....

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at klaseFP::Bground()
at FullScreen_03_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Background works as a document class, works perfectly in fact. However, if I use it as the class of a library object, error 1009 shows up. Same thing happens if I simply put the code into the timeline of the library object - stage referencing simply causes it to break. So, how do I dynamically change the values of variables in Background, according to values in the main movie/app?
