ActionScript 2.0 :: Any Way To Target MovieClip Other Than Using Multiple Parents?
Apr 25, 2004
I have several buttons on an externally loaded swf that work fine but I'd like to clean up the code if possible. Is there an better way to target the mc other than using multiple _parents?
Code:
on (rollOver) {
_parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent.expression.gotoAndStop (2);
} on (rollOut) {
_parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent.expression.gotoAndStop (1);
}
The thing is I am not exactly sure if this mc is going to remain an external swf or if it will eventually stand alone, which is why I haven't targeted the root at its level. I'd like it to work either way if possible.

we have java and flex projects at work. We currently have 1 base pom that contains the configurations we want to use for both projects. Problem with this is: flex projects inherit configuration for javadoc and pmd for example, which they do not want.
I want to do this a bit more clean and have a real base-pom and then a java-base-pom and a flex-base-pom. But how does this work in a multimodule that has both a flex part and a java part?
We have plugins to our own application where we use the following structure:
my-plugin
my-plugin-client (flex)
my-plugin-server (java)
The my-plugin just contains a pom.xml with section. I would use the my-plugin pom.xml as a parent to both, but then I cannot also use the java base-pom or the flex base-pom also as parent.

Is there any way for movieClips to share the same class definition?When you have alot of objects to keep track of it becomes a pain to have to write separate actionscript files to do the same thing.For example if I:Create an actionScript file which extends movieClip with the name ClassX.as with all the nescessary code incased in package{}I try properties>export for actionscript>ClassX.as for two movie clips (each with different graphics).An error occurs on the 2nd movieClip complaining that the class I used was not unique. y other question is how do I make an actionscript file file that both extends a movieClip and another class.For example:In a game there is a movieClip for an enemyShip1 with its own class definition contained in an actionscript file (defining its behavior)There are 2 child objects enemyShip2A and enemyShip2B each of which have there own images,class definition but which inherit all the functions from the enemyShip1Class.It would seem that the logical thing to do would be:
package
{
//import extentions.*

in my last flash website i built, i created a gallery, my way of creating pages in flash are to have a movieclip as a page, so to make it easier to switch between the paged (page switching functionality is purely done in AS3). the gallery was a problem however, i needed the pictures to appear as popups, however to add the child from inside the movieclip, any masks i use would prevent the popup from leaving the immediate area of the page. so to get around this problem i basically used: MovieClip(root).addChild()
in my opinion this was a mistake, because it created other problems. the problem was that the popups are still connected to the page, even though they are outside of it, which meant that using removeChild() to switch from the gallery, meant that any popup that were still active, 'DIDNT' dissapear, and worse than that, because the page was removed, the popups lost any AS connected to them, which meant the couldnt be removed at all.

im creating a small drag and drop game in AS3-
I have 4 objects and 4 targets,
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.

qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

b1OrigX = btn1._x;b1OrigY = btn1._y;

how to target multiple movie clips at once so that if my tank bumps into a specific set of movie clips, it will change my move var to false without having to put a hittest on each individual movie clip and without having to list out all their names? I don't want to list fifty different instance names for all the hittests.

1. I created the dropzone script, in which has to be dynamic in size so that people can the tiles to design their floor board. Problem is, if the dropzones are too close to each other, the app has problems deciding where to drop the tile. (the tile floor is diagonal, imagine a diamond looking tile) I dont know what to do in order to securely place tiles where it shuld be... the dropzones are too close to each other..!the tile can either be full tile, 1/2 and 1/4 tile. How do I do this? I managed to get the drag n drop for full tile to work, but I dont know how can I do it with 1/2 or 1/4 tile. Should I split the dropzones into 4 sections? If I did, then I'll have a problem with full tile? For dropping let say, a pyramid-shaped tile onto a Full Tile would be very2 confusing

I'm trying to create an interactive game where multiple movieclips can be dragged onto a single target. I understand that the target and the movie clip have to have the same name, like "book_mc" has to have a target of "targetbook_mc", but is there another way to do this so that "book_mc" and "pencil_mc" can both have the same target?

I am porting an existing project from Flash Pro to Flash Builder.The code is almost completely portable between Web/Android/Projector/AIR, and I simply change a few constants for each target device before hitting publish...However- in Flash Builder, it asks me when creating a project whether it will be mobile or web.What's the best-practices way to target multiple devices from a single project in Flash Builder?OR, in Flash Builder, must they each be their own project? If they must each be their own project- is there a multi-project organization method which works well, keeping in mind that in this context each project is really just a different build of the almost-identical codebase (On one foot- I thought of having a "common" project

I have been trying forever to figure out how to add multiple mc's (images) with different instance names to 1 target only (another image). All of the mc's and the target are placed on the same layer. All I want it to do is snap different images to the same target. I have tried placing the target on a seperate layer but it does not work either.
Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
cat_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
cat_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

With some excellent help from ilike2 I was able to import random objects from a library that can then be dragged to their respective targets (on repeat). However, I forgot to mention that I need to drag more than one of these objects onto the same target and I don't know how to change the actionscript to accommodate this. Would anyone be able to help me with this? In the example below I would also like Blue2 to target targetBlue_mc Here is the code:

I am trying to make a quiz on metals. I have several elements which i want to fall into multiple target areas (e.g. the target areas are shaded grey in the following swf; metal_mc, nonmetal_mc, metalloid_mc). I can make individuals match to target areas (as there are tutorials for that) but i want each one to be able to slide in to any target area (and someday i want to create a solve button which will then place each element in the correct place). have started all over and have designated only chlorine to move (for the moment) but how do i code it to allow it to fall into any of the grey areas?

I want to create an interactive learning module that would use a simple drag and drop test. I've already browsed the net for guides and it led me to monkeyflash.com that gave me a very helpful guide. On the guide, there can only be one object be dragged to a target. But then, I wanted my test to have multiple objects (movie clips) be dropped on a single target (also a movie clip) only and stick to it. I'm thinking that I could place my draggable objects on an array, but I really had difficulty on executing this.
On the code below, a drag object can only be placed on one target only (i.e dragIn1 can only be dropped on targetdragIn1 but not on targetdragIn2). Yet, I want all dragAt objects be dragged on all targetAt, dragIn with targetIn, and dragOn with targetOn.

Its day 3 of learning AS3 for me. I cant seem to target a movieclip within a movieclip. I code with all my actions on the first frame of the root timeline and would like to continue this practice. But when I target the clip from the root my function wont run.
Here is my example:
Code:
wheel_mc.spinBackward_mc.buttonMode = true;
wheel_mc.spinForward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spinForward);
function spinForward(event:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
Basically it wont gotoAndPlay("fadeIn") and I'm not sure why. So my question so I can move on in my AS3 learning is how to I target a movieclip with another movieclip, or is there another more proper way to do what I'm trying to achieve.

I have some buttons working great on my main timeline using this code on the actual timeline[code]...
So I know I need to make Revlon_mc into another movieclip (so I can do the actual animation inside this movie clip and move it easily around the main timeline) but I'm not what the code would be (something to do with parent perhaps??) and would I still keep the code on the main timeline or would it sit within the new moviclip just created?
