ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Movie Clip Buttons Replay Over Local Connection
Feb 5, 2009
I seem to have a problem with re-playing my movie clip buttons for a second time.
it is a little bit more complicated than that as it is over two SWFs (I have attached both flash files).
The idea is that when on the 'home' page movie clip buttons can be used when both SWFs are running. This works from the original loading, but once navigated to another page/section and then returning to 'home', the buttons on the menu1 file stop reacting.
very frustrating as i know it is probably some very simple thing that will fix it, like a _root or a this. or a play rather than stop somewhere, but I've tried for 2 days and I still can't seem to figure it out.
Also, if anyone knows how i can reduce the amount of repeated actionscript I would be eternally gratefull.

I am really getting stuck with the 'Local Connection' action script vibe. All the tutorials show adding text from one swf and it appearing in another, but to this day i still cannot find a way of rolling over a button and it triggering the rollover on a button in anther swf.
My theory is that if it is possible to add text to another swf...surely connecting buttons is possible..

here is my issue, so i have a main page with a slideOut movieclip which basically is a movie clip button and the "over" state sends a tray out of the movie clip with info and anothe rmovie clip button. i cant seem to get that movie clip button to root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel");i have the actionscript on the same frame as the movie clip i need to act as a button. but it just doesnt seem to react to it.i have tried going to the main timeline and doing
blank_mc.blank2_mc.onRelease = function();
{
_root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel");

on my portfolio website, [URL] my Ghost is moving every 1-5 seconds(timelimit is random) with this...
[Code]....
As you can see, the x, and y in that tween are moving him on the stage. How can I specify him to move around in the movie clip. Not on the stage? The reason I am asking this is because soon I will replace my ghost with random falling leaves for giving, and I need the leaves to fall according to their x,y in their movie clips.... NOT the x,y of the stage.

I'm working on a particle system, where each single particle is represented by a movie clip and has it's own behaviors, defined in the movie clip's code in a separate layer from the image. The particle creates local variables, such as it's gravity and color, in the first frame and then uses them to guide it's actions throughout it's lifetime (it fizzles out and dies, eventually).Frame 1 of particle_mc:
Code:
var gravity:Number = 0;
var color:Number = 2;

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.

I want to create the following: Suppose I have 2 swfs open in an HTML doc. The first sfw has 3 buttons: red, green, blue. When I hover over these buttons, I want the words "red", "green", "blue" to appear respectively in the second swf.
I found out that I can use "local connection" to to this, but it's too advanced for me.

Basically, I need some help from mac users. I've made a portfolio site at: URL... and I'm using the 'Local Connection' function for communication between the thumbnail menus and the displayed images.However, I discovered that this wasn't working on macs... and after some digging, I found out that I should add the statement:[code]So, I added this, but I have no way to test whether it's now working or not as I don't have access to a mac. Is it right?

i have a very complex object, i wanted to pass on the object from AS2 to AS3 through Local connection. Looks like it doesnt accept more than 40k. Right now i am splitting the object and merging from AS3. i knew this is not so efficient enough. Is there any way i can share the object without splitting or any efficient way to achieve this.

Is it possible to connect to the same Local Connection more than once?
What if I have a Flash signature with same flash movie on the page 3 times and I click on the button on the first movie. Can the other 2 movies do the same action the first movie is doing?
I thought thats what LocalConnection was for but when the second movie tries to LocalConnection.connect it says the connection is already connected.

I'm new to actionscript 3 but I do have a little actionscript 2, but, what I want to do is change the colour of a movie clip or the stage using local time. From what I could gather you can't change the stage colour but you can change the colour of a movie clip.[code]...

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0

I am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

I have 3 Flash banners on 1 page that run through a synched animation together. At the end of the animation, there is a replay button in each of the 3 banners. I want the replay button when clicked in any of the banners to call a replay function in all 3 banners. Is there any easy way to do this? Using localconnection?
The banners are already using a local connection for the syching of the animation, if that helps.

I have three swf's using local connection to communicate. Basically a top and bottom navigation communicating with a main module. All this works fine and looks a little like this:
Top_Nav:
[AS]
Actions.LINKFunction = function(){
outgoing_lc = new LocalConnection();
[code]....
As I mentioned this all works fine. Where I am having trouble is that there is one link that takes the user to an eCommerce area of the site that lacks the main module. It only has the top and bottom navigation. So the navigation is basically broken once the user heads to this area. By putting a getURL into the top nav function I can easily get back to index.html, but I can't figure out how to send the functions once the page has loaded. Basically looking for a way for the functions to execute after the new html page has loaded. So the user hit's the LINK button, the page index.html is loaded along with the three swf's and instead on the default movie's loading in the main-module, the functions in the main module corresponding to LINK are run.

Ive used local connection before, it always comes up as a bit fishy, but the best reulst i got was following the emaple in the help file, but it only works when the files are online, and i need the receiving/listening SWF to be online..and the sending should be able to work both from localhost and a domain,
[Code]...
The following example sends a string to the previous SWF file and displays a status message about whether the local connection was able to connect to the file. A TextInput component called name_ti, a TextArea instance called status_ta and a Button instance called send_button are used to display content
[Code]...
LocalConnection objects can communicate only among SWF files that are running on the same client computer, but they can be running in different applications--for example, a SWF file running in a browser and a SWF file running in a projector.

I have an mp3 player(AS3) loads in external mp3. I am trying to attach the flash local connection script to the mp3 script so that I can have the mp3 pop up in a smaller browser and it be controlled by the main homepage.
here is an example, [URL] select track 4, you will see it starts playing but also another small window pops up but its behind the main browser. this is then controlled with a 'Stop' and 'Play' function on the main home page.
thats what I am trying to create:
ok;
I have an example working for the flash local connection where you can drag a ball and it also moves in the smaller pop up window, see here: [URL]
So I have that working and I have the mp3 working, but I need to put both togther and cross over the flash local connection script and incorporate into the mp3 script.
What is the best way for me to send script information, I don't want to flood the thread with AS. You can download the flash lconnection files and the mp3 player from here!

I am creating a local app that is going to be a swf file. Is there anyway to check if the user has internet while they are using my app. I tried this, it works great if testing the movie from flash, however, It does not work when running the swf file independently. I'm guessing this is because it is strictly intended for air app.[code]...
