I need some help in Flash As2. I have an animated movie clip that has a button inside it. The idea is to be able to click on the movie clip and get it to run the animation (with on(release){ gotoandplay(2);} as its code) and then stop on frame 10. So far that is working fine as it should.
Where im falling down is that on Frame 10 there is a new symbol (Attractions_button (This has an instance name)) that I want to be able to click and take me to a frame on the main time-line.
With some research into this I cannot find a solution. So far I have labeled the frame i wish to link to on the main time-line as NRM and have tried the following code on the button symbol itself:
I'd like to be able to instance an MC that is within another MC to the stage. I understand how to duplicate things in the same path and how to attach from the library. However, for the unique situation that I have in my project I'd like to instance from inside a MC to the root.Pseudo example:contatiner1 and projectile1 are MCscontainer1 parent is the rootprojectile1 is inside container1Create an instance on the root of projectile1
I´m starting to learn flash cs5 a couple hours ago. Currently i´m learning how to use layers. Imagine that I put a rectangle and an elipse inside layer 1. Then I create a new layer with a photo. How can I see the list (root) of objects that are inside each layer? I know that I can use the outline color to visually identify them but is it possible to see the objects as a root?
Is it possible to pull the currentFrame of the root timeline from inside an object class? Normally a currentFrame call only checks the frame of the movieclip it's attached to within an object class, so how would you go about checking the frame of the entire project from within the object class file?
edit: Nevermind, I found what I was looking for. All you have to do is use MovieClip(root).currentFrame and it works just fine. Consider the question answered.
I have a Nav Bar on my _root timeline. Inside of which I have buttons and MC's. I want to have all the code for my buttons on the _root timeline. So, I can adjust from there.
Below is an example of what I'm trying to do from the _root timeline Actions Layer:
Code: // ------ NAV BAR ON MAIN STAGE ----------------------------------- // ------ Instance Name = NavBar ------------------------------------ // ------ Button inside of "NavBar" = MyButton ----------------------
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:
here is the fla file - [URL] I have an attached movie on root level that movie has a button inside it and I want to tell that button to do some function. simple----BUT I want to put the action on the first frame on the root and not inside th MC. here is the code Iam working on and the same is in the fla file in the above link.
[Code]...
explanation of the above code-- but1 is the button on root that tells clip1 to attach on blank MC(thats also on root) clip1 has the button inside it call but2 and tried to tell that bloody but2 to open that the URL link but its not doing so NOTE - I want to put all the action on the action on the first frame and not inside th MC.
I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code: var iXML:XML = new XML(); iXML.ignoreWhite = true;
I am trying to create a gallery where each thumb is housed inside of it's own movie clip that will have more data, but it keeps failing because it won't let me refer to the newly created instance of the movie clip. Below is what I am trying to do.
var xml:XML; var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.
I have a flash code where i am loading an AS 2 SWF inside AS 3. The thing is if i put the AS 2 SWF on same domain its working fine but if i put AS 2 SWF on different domain it loads the SWF properly but the "stop()" written inside the AS 2 frame doesnt work... and it keeps on playing all the frames continuously...
I have a button in my main file (Interiors-02.swf) in Scene 1. When I click it it loads an outside swf (buttons.swf) into a blank movie. This movie has 10 buttons. What I want is for when I click one of those buttons to go to Scene 2 or 3 in the main file (Interiors-02.swf) Can I do this and what would the code be for the button?
I have my main fla and then I have a actionscript named bullet.as in the bullet.as I create a bullet using "this" throughout the script now how would I call the bullet on my main timeline?
i have uploaded a simple 1 page website with the flash video sitting outside of the root folder of the site itself. i have pointed the flv playback components to the video and published it and uploaded it but the video does not appear on the pages.
I have a variable on the root timeline that I would like to check for in a class of one of my movieclips. The movieclip get added to the display list via addChild. If I check for the var, I get this error message:1120: Access of undefined property myVar How can I be able to see that var?
I have a movie mc that contains buttons called menuMovie.I also have another movie clip called "myMovie". There is an instance of menuMovie on the main timeline in keyframe1 called "_menuMovie_mc".There is also an instance of myMovie on keyframe1 called "_myMovie_mc" .I want to have one of the buttons in menuMovie play myMovie.mc which has a label called _here". My understanding is:
Okay, I did a search on stage and got a lot of forum threads going in different directions about static and global variables. _root to my understanding no longer means the main timeline, it's the root of...what? and how does this relate to the stage? Is the stage there or does that need and addChild() as well? Like, overall I guess my main question is, "What is the proper way of incorporating stage and root in document class structure?" I built my entire site using the structure, but I learned halfway through that I had to use addChild() to make it a display object. I'm trying to get this down so next time I get it right.
I have a .fla file that has VerticalMenu.as as the documentclass. In that class, it calls another class called MenuItem.as.Within MenuItem.as, I want to be able to add buttons to the themain timeline (the root), but when I do addChild, it'll just add itto the menuItem object. How do I reference the root fromMenuItem.as to add the child there
I cant believe how the simpliest things are more complex to do in AS3.I tried to target a movieclip from inside another movieclip called bat_mc and these dont work!root.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);orlevel0.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
