I loaded this "slider" swf into a "sliderHolder" on my index swf file. inside that loaded swf there's a movice clip called icon_mc. I'm trying to target it and make it go to a specific y position within that loaded swf on a MouseEvent inside the index.swf. I can't seem to make it work.I triedI have traced sliderHolder and it says it's empty.I have traced sliderLoader and it gives a Loader.So how do I access the movieClip if I just have those two as references?Here's what I have and want to do in code:
Code: Select all
var sliderLoader:Loader = new Loader();
sliderLoader.load( new URLRequest("sliding/ImageBar.swf"));

I am trying to target a movie clip within a movie clip.
I have a movie clip on the main stage with an instance name of a
I have the following action script on it
on (release) {_root.a.gotoAndStop(2);
}
So on frame 2 of a I have a button (instance name b) which also has two frames and a stop action on frame 1. All I want to do is click on the button and make it go to frame 2. It should work but it isn't Here is the actionscript on the button (b) on (press) {_root.a.b.gotoAndPlay(2); }
I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.

1 Movie Clip instancied as a "cursor" 1 Movie Clip instancied as a "Mc_Obstacles" with others 5 Movie Clipsand the 5 Movie Clips inside the "Mc_Obstacles" are instancied as "Obstacle" , all with the same instance...I want this: when the mc "cursor" hit one of mcs "obstacles" gotoandstop to frame X then i did in frame with actions in another layer:
cursor.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this.x+10;
if(this.hitTest(Mc_Obstacles.Obstacle)){
gotoAndStop(4);
}

The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;
I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.
View 6 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is set up a 4x5 grid of boxes. Inside each box is 1) an image 2) four arrow keys 3) a text field to enter the code corresponding to the image. The idea is that someone could enter product codes into each text field, and be able to save this information in an external xml file. If they wanted to change the order, but keep an image, they could just use the arrow keys to move the product around the grid.
Where I am running into problems is I can put the boxes up on the screen in a grid. I can give each box an instance name. But I haven't yet been able to discover a way to address a movie clip (say one of the arrow buttons) which is a child of the original movieclip place by my for loops. Ideally I am looking for a way find, target and change values:

Can you pause a movie clip, let's say movie clip A, from inside a seperate movie clip, let's say movie clip B. B is not a parent of A.
Essentially, I have a background slideshow running that I want to stop when a menu item is clicked, and an external swf file is loaded. I attached a jpg which diagrams how the movie clips are organized within each other and what I want to pause from within which movie clip:
If this is not feasible, I'd love if anyone could reccomend a better way to structure the movieclips.
I�d be grateful if anyone can answer what should be a simple problem. I�m building a Flash program that has many movie clips (like they all do). At one stage I need to duplicate a specific movie clip and make it appear in another movie clip.
PS: The movie clip needs to be added by actionscript as it is made on the fly in the program, hence it cant be in the original .fla file � if that makes sense.
I want to put a button on a movie clip that is inside a movie clip. The button needs to access a "label" on the parent movie clip.

I have a movieclip with an instance name of "clip1" with another movie clip with an instance name of "clip2_sub" which is inside of "clip1".all I am trying to do is stop and start the "clip2_sub" movie clip from the main timeline.I know in AS2 you just would do something like clip1.clip2_sub.stop(); I am trying to figure out why this doesnt work in AS3.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make an escape the room game.I have the main scene and in that have two movie clips: 'room_mc' and 'inventory_mc'. I have a 'scissors1_mc' in room_mc and 'scissors2_mc' in inventory_mc.I need it so that when the player clicks on the scissors1_mc, they become invisible in room_mc and visible in the inventory_mc. I've tried the following, and it only works if I put it inside room_mc and take out the reference to scissors2_mc.
scissors1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scissorsFound);
function scissorsFound(event:MouseEvent):void {
scissors1_mc.visible = false;
scissors2_mc.visible = true;
}
I think it just doesn't know where to look for scissors2_mc and so I think I need to give it a path but I don't know how to put it in.
I'm creating a slideshow with Flash, like the ones done with Powerpoint. I would like to create a movie clip inside another movie clip, that is, say I have a clip called button1, and when I click it, frame number 2 in this clip is displayed, and then more information appears. Inside this frame 2, there are other clips, for example an X button to close and return to frame number 1 in the clip button1, as the image shows:
What I have done is convert the button1 text into a movie clip, and assign an action to it:
on (press){ gotoAndStop(2);}
When frame 2 is displayed, I would like to click to the X-button to get back to frame number1, so what I've done is, again, convert it into a movie clip and assign the following action:
on (press){ _root.gotoAndStop(1);}
But this doesn't work. I've been trying as well changing other things, but no way... At first I thought it had something to do with the _root or _parent, but now it looks as when using gotoAndStop in the "parent" button (button1), no actions work for the "child" buttons.
I have a movie clip in my main movie. The movie clip has buttons on it that tell where the play head should go in the main movie. I'm using this script;
[AS]
_parent.gotoandStop(28);
[/AS]
The play head goes to the right frame but it keeps playing even though I've specified it to "gotoAndStop" at frame 28. I've tried using labels and addressing it that way but same thing happens.

how to target to the another movie clip to animate?I was using code as below but the output is not really correct.It seemed something is duplicating (I just suppected)
PHP Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var mc_Ripple:MovieClip = new Ripple_Text() ;
[code].....
this 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)
