ActionScript 2.0 :: Activate Function From Different Timeline?
Aug 23, 2009
I've put a zipped file on my site, its about 0.5 mb and flash CS4 format.
I've got two problems;
1. How to stop the function from starting as soon as the file is loaded
2. How to call the function properly
Within the first frame of my flash movie I've got two layer, one with a movieclip called moon and another for actionscript which contains:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
_global.hidden = function(){
[Code].....
But nothing happens when I click on the button.

I am trying to make this game but I cant get any further because of the following: (copy pasted the necessary parts, not sure if this is all you need though...
Selected[unitcounter].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveselecter);
function moveselecter(evt:MouseEvent):void{
var Unitcounted:Object = evt.currentTarget
evt.target.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, moveTo);
trace("hello")
} function moveTo(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("hello2")
}
It does give hello but not hello2 so the event should do its work if u ask me...

i want to setup this interface so that when you click on this movie clipsomething happens. but whenever i try to click on the movie clip i get nadathis is the location of my movieclip:_root.mc_gallery_content.mc_empty_1the AS that i want to use to be activated by "mc_empty_1" is inside "mc_gallery_content"
thought i could use this code to get "mc_empty_1" to initiallize a function:
_root.mc_gallery_content.mc_empty_1.onRelease = function() {
//preform function xyz

Im trying to make a image gallery, that then the i get to the left side of the movieclip is moves to the left and when im in the right it does that way
I already made this using tweens... But i want that while im over the left side of the movieclip it keeps doing tweens to the left... same for the otherside ofc
Im not finding a way to keep it always doing the tweens... i have to move mouse so it animates.
i got something like this:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//1.

I'm loading an MC and then attempting to activate a function onLoadComplete in order to hide the MC. The function is actually reused several times through out the "app" I'm building. I know the onLoadComplete works because I tested it, but the function isn't being activated
Code:
var msgMC:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var msgMCL:Object = new Object();
msgMC.loadClip("message.swf"+"?uniqueID="+getTimer(), msg);
msgMC.addListener(msgMCL);

I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts

im attempting to keep it as portable as possible so its easier to edit later, and i dont have to go around copying/pasting too much code. - i'll cut to the chase..
On my main timeline, i load all the image-file names, as variables.. using loadvars into thumbnails, which ive given instancenames Loader_1 to Loader_20, inside these thumbnails is the Loader component Thumb_1. Here is the code on the main timeline, to load these variables.
Code:
BigLoader._visible = false;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// load variable function
[Code]....
how i could make this more portable without -completely- changing the format its in [so i can still understand it]

What I want to do is take the basic functionality of this tutorial (card flipping) and trigger that action on the timeline to create an animated movie rather than something that a user with a mouse interacts with.flashandmath {dot} com/flashcs4/flip/index.html(the forum won't let me directly reference the tutorial I'm working with because i'm a new member)The tutorial uses a custom class, I'm guessing that i need to remove the eventListeners for the mouse events and call one of the functions on the timeline specific to the variables on the scene, like "card1.initApp();" ?

I decided to rewrite my question from an earlier post...I'm using the TextMetric class: URL...The code below currently resides on the attachedMC timeline, and is written twice with different variables for each time called for each dynamicText.[code]What i am trying to do (emphasis on trying) is write the code on the main timeline, so that it can be called from any attached MC, a sort of global function if you will. Another thing to note is that there are multiple dynamic Texts using the function at the same time.[code]

I have a function within another function. Is it possible to call the function inside the function from the main timeline. See example code. I want to call the function called sub from outside off the function called main.
Code:
function main():void{

function sub():void{
//do something
}}
