I have 2 textfields, one dynamic and one input. Both of em have the same variable name since the dynamic textfield should have the same value as the other.It works perfectly if both of em are on the same frame outside of a movieclip.Is it possible to do this while one is on the root frame and one is in a movieclip on the rootframe?

Works great, when using 'this' for the prev and next frame control but i cant figuire out how to control a different movieclip on root.
I've been working on a new issue while giving a break on cracking the other one.I have a movie clip acting as a button with rollover/rollout animation- we'll call it menu_mc for simple reference.I'm basically creating a rollover submenu. I've set it up a few different ways but the most user friendly has been hiding the submenu_mc (which has 4 linked buttons to root frame inside) by doing:_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;then inside the menu_mc with the rollover I have the submenu trigger set to show: _root.sub5_mc._visible = true;The links are working fine but the problem I am running into, is that the rollover state, once over the submenu_mc, does the rollout function and leaves the submenu_mc hanging there by itself- still functioning perfectly.You can go back over the menu_mc and it will play out the rollover again.On the other simple animated buttons (which do not have submenus) I have coded:
on(rollOver) {
_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;
}

I'm building a calculator in AS 3.0. On frame 1, the user inputs data into the input text boxes and hit's the "calculate" button (also located on page 1).The calculations are displayed in the dynamic text fields on frame 1but aren't appearing on frames 2 and 3. Anyone know how to get the calcs to show up on frames other than where the calculation button is located?

View 6 RepliesI've very new to using Flash with AC3. I've got a small project that reads infomation in from XML files and creates a very two simple menus. The first being the years 2009,2008,2007 etc. (yearMenu_mc). When I click one of these it reads another xml file and builds another menu below (subMenu_mc). This is all working. What I cannot get to work is when I click another year I need it to clear the previous menus text, it just seems to keep over writing and I end up with text that I cannot read anymore. The code I've posted and tried works in one respect it does in fact reset subMenu_mc and I get clear text, but it seems to get rid of the background colour I had set for subMenu_mc.
Code:
import scripts.*;
Variables
var myFont=new fontArial();
var margin:int=2;
var link:String;
var cWhite=0xFFFFFF;
var menuTop:int=-8; /* menu top margin */
var tb:TextField;

The code is writen in AS2 and Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and tested with Flash Player 10.
When I ran it in Flash Player 10, I only saw message2 displayed on the stage. When I stepped through the app in Adobe Flash Professional CS5, I found that as soon as message2 text field was created, message1 text field which was being displayed on the stage disppeared.
I have got a dynamic text field that has had number placed into it by a using voting. What I'm trying to do is get actionscript to check the number (which I have assigned a variable to) and then based on if its less then 2, equal to 2 or more than 2 to get it to load a frame of another movieclip at a certain frame. Sorry not explaining it very well but heres the code:

votesForBatman is the variable I assigned to the final number in the Dynamic text field, with finalvoteresults being the movieclip that I want to load based on the votesForBatman dynamic text field variable. All are in the same movieclip so should not be an issue with_root or anything like that... Is it even possible to get a variable to load a movieclip?
I am designing a roulette wheel type game. I am using a variable, "_global.myMoney = 0; " to keep track of the total money the player has. When I built the prototype, I used a dynamic text field on the stage with an instance name of "myMoney_text" and a variable of "_root.myMoney"
Now, I need to move this text box into a movie clip with an instance name of "winnings_mc"
When I test the movie, it looks like it showing the style sheet (font size, font, etc...) inside the dynamic text box. If I change the variable of the box to "_root.winnings_mc.myMoney" it seems to track initially, but now my updateMoney function in my main script does not work.
The function is called like this:
trace("updated money equals " + updateMoney(myMoney));
This always traces zero now, the initial value.
Can we able to create multiple text fields using actionscript 2, without creating any movieclip on the stage.

I have a series of MCs in my root timeline. On each frame in the root, I am simply running 'stop();' to allow the MC within the frame to play through all the way. Once the timeline within the MC reaches the last frame, I have the following AS to go back to the root and play the next frame (each frame is labelled):

How do you tell the root timeline to root.gotoAndStop(2); from the timeline of a movieClip added using addChild?In the maintime line I have
addChild(fade_eng);
and in fade_eng I have the following on frame 20
root.gotoAndStop(2);
this.gotoAndStop(1);
But I am getting 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.
For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:

Im loading an external SWF in to the main SWF at frame 1.
When that animation is done I want it to go to the next frame of the root SWF .
In AS2 this might be done like this:
_parent.nextFrame();
or
_root.nextFrame();
or
_level0.nextFrame();
How would I do the same in AS3 ?
How do you align a dynamic movie clip position with another movie clip which is in the root stage? I tried to get the mc in root x,y position, but the starting point of the class that loads the dynamic MC does not seems to be accurate. (Meaning at the root stage, the x,y is 0,0 but at the dynamic class, its somewhere like 100,20 for the browser area (and it actually vary base on the browser size))
**the other classes I used to run the custom classes below, I have it added this MC to stage
var blocker:stageBlocker=new stageBlocker();
this.stage.addChild(blocker);
Below is the dynamic MC. Should I not add it to its own "stage"?
public class stageBlocker extends MovieClip {
private var blocker:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
public function stageBlocker():void {

I am using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 2.0, and I want to be able to run a certain command for a time I am making only on certain frames...
[Code]...
This doesn't work. The reason I am trying to do this, is because every time I complete a level the timer is still going at the 'congratulations screen' and then when I go to level 2 the timer would start up again, and the seconds would go twice as fast.
I have main flash file called index.swf and in that I'm loading an external movie called help.swf using the below code: loadMovie("help.swf",1);
On help.swf I have a button which brings me back to the main file i.e. index.swf using the below code. _root.loadMovie("index.swf");
When index.swf is loaded I want it to go to a particular frame. I tried using levels but then my print function doesn't work properly.
I am trying to do up the framework for a flash project which has a transistion fadein and fadeout whenever it loads a new content but faces no result. How is this done?

I'm trying to pass text from an input text in frame 1 to a dynamic text field in frame 10. Thus when the user enters text and clicks the submit button it takes them to frame 10 and shows them what they typed. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors. Here's the link:

Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.
