ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Movieclips Bumping Into Each Other?
Dec 10, 2009
I'm working with Actionscript2.0 in Adobe Flash CS3.The thing is i have 4 movieclips in the same location, theres a program shifting each movieclip so that only one of those get to be in frame 2. Frame Two holds each movieclip inner buttons. only one movieclip gets to be in frame 2 at the same time according with the program. but when with a command button i order one movieclip to show frame 2 ( with the buttons inside ) and i try to click one of this buttons, the inner buttons of other movieclips (which are in fact in frame1!!!with no buttons) get in the way, and though they are not visible, they are there and working. So, when i try to click a visible button, sometimes some inner button of another movieclip gets activated and take me to the wrong frame.Is there a way to deactivate the other movieclips besides hiding them ? if you need the file, i guess i could send it, just let me know.

I have been scouring the internet for the past week and still have not found a solution to my problem... I created a birdcage and want it to swing when the mouse bumps it - and I want it to swing in a direction that is dependent upon the direction that the "bump" is coming from. If the mouse bumps it from the right, I want the cage to swing to the left and vice versa. This link shows what I want to happen, but I don't want the user to control the friction, etc. [URL]..
Ideally, I want it to move depending on the force (speed?) of the mouse hit, if that is even possible... I am just starting scripting and can do basic things, like create websites with buttons and animations,

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

I have two SWF-Movies. One is exported into eht other as Child.Can I instance the Objects of the two libraries in all places, where ActionScript is possible? (In Keyframes of the MovieClips and in external class definitions.)

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

Printing an MC is easy enough. But I am having trouble printing an MC which has multiple MCs inside of it. They just don't get printed.
I am trying to avoid printAsBitmap.

I want to test mc animations without having to hit F12 to see if they work correctly. For instance, if I have an animation movieclip and then I make another movieclip and drop that aforementioned movieclip within, and animate [via the timeline or library preview] I'm unable to see on-the-fly what my animation looks like... it only shows the top most nest, unless I F12 it.
So if I have a character blinking eyes (one movieclip) and then I create another movie clip of the face, and put that aforementioned movieclip within, the preview animation within the library does not show how it'll be viewed when F12'n it.,,,, it'd be great to see your animations on the fly.

why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)

I have a movieclip called mapWindow, inside mapWindow are dynamically created movieclips of various sizes. The movieclips inside the mapWindow don't take up the entire space of the mapWindow and thus I use a startDrag on the mapWindow upon detection of a mouse press. The problem is, I don't want the start drag to start if the mouse is detected over any of the child movieclips inside mapWindow.
I have a few ideas of how to proceed, but I'm not sure how to reference all child movieclips of a particular movieclip - or something along those lines.
It would be easy to use the hittest function if I knew how to reference all the movieclips I need to, but alas...

I'm using flash MX 2004 Professional. What im trying to is the following: I have 9 movie clips, each has a "closed" and "open" state. Basically, when I click no.1 I want it to animate open, and then, when I click no.2, it must first check if any of the other clips are in their "open" state and if so, close them. I've worked with the following, but it doesnt seem to be working:

I am starting with AS3 programming icm with Flash Builder 4.I have created a "Main" class which is the initial stage.On this stage there is a movieclip called mcMain.In this mcMain is 4 other movieclips: mcStats1 mcStats2 mcStats3 mcStats4 .How can I access these mcStats1-4 from the code to make them go to another frame?I tried:
var t:MovieClip = MovieClip(getChildByName("mcMain"));
t.getChildByName("mcStats1").gotoAndPlay(3);
But that just keeps giving me null reference errors:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I used to work in AS2 and something like this worked:
mc1.mc2.onRelease = function () {
mc3.gotoAndStop(2);
}
But converting it to AS3, it doesn't work anymore.
function goMC (e:MouseEvent):void {
mc3.gotoAndStop(2);
}
mc1.mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMC);
What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to control movieclips within movieclips.

Basically what I'm trying to do is build an interface out of a fan of cards. I've got the the whole fan as a movieclip and then individual movieclips of the cards inside that have rollover animations.My issue is the rollover works on the cards arranged behind the cards that have the cursor over, which I don't want to happen.e.g see attachment.here's the rollover actionscript i've got on each card:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();

on my main timeline there is a movieclip ("sampleMc") which contains a number of labeled frames containing movieclips of gallery images (for example "dyerBikiniMc"). in turn, each of THESE movieclips contain a number of frames of detail shots of the main image (for example "dyerBikini00Mc, dyerBikini01Mc, dyerBikini02Mc, etc.").on the main timeline i have a gallery navigation bar with thumbnail buttons determining which image will be displayed. there's also a right arrow shaped button "detailsBtn" that i'd like to allow the user to click frame-by-frame through the detail shots of the image. i also have a before/after toggle button on the main timeline that needs to control the movieclip one level below that, where the before/after images of that particular detail shot are stored!

I am building a map which has different layers on it, all on top of one another, all 700x700px and all movieclips. I have a print button (PrintUp) which sends the movieclips to be printed, however when I print, they don't sit on top of one another, they come out separately. How can I get them to print on top of each other like they are in the swf?
The two movieclips are "Background" and "Grass"
Both 700x700 and exactly the same X&Y.
Here is the code below:
PrintUp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Print);
function Print(e:MouseEvent):void{
var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (printJob.start()) {
if (Background.width>printJob.pageWidth) {

What I'm trying to do is have two separate movieclips that react differently, but with only one actionscript file controlling them. I can get this to work perfectly by putting the name of the AS file as the document class, but I can't get it to work by using the timeline.The AS file for the document class looks like this;[code]The problem with the second method is that I can only get it to treat both movieclips in the same way, while the first method can treat them differently.Is there anyway to get the second method to act like the first?

I've got two SWF files where one control what happens in the other using LocalConnect and would like to use opacity changes to make a nice transition between two movieclips in the receiving file. I want the two movieclips to fade nicely so I can't animate it because that would make a brake just as i hit the button.
This is the code in the SWF that sends the information.
Code:
btn01.onRelease = function() {
var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sending_lc.send("lc_name", "methodToExecute", {targetName:"mc01", action:"play01"});
};

I have looked around for this but haven't found any that seemed close to what I am planning on doing. My question is: Is it possible to have movieclips move from one swf to another?
My problem: I have two swf's next to each other that are in an html page that simulate the look of one swf. I need to animate text here and it won't be user generated. I have looked at the local connection on Adobe but it seems as though it's user initiated. i would like to animate using tweener.

Can I make MouseOver ignore movie clips that obstruct it from view somehow? found mouseEnabled = false, but it somehow doesn't work for children of a movie clip, like:
mc1.mc2.mouseEnabled = false;
That still acts as a barrier, while my intention is to make some children be clickable while others just be invisible to the mouse to allow things behind to be clicked.

I'm trying to create an application that has three movieclips that when rolled over show a movie clip over everything that the user reads then they drag one of three pictures over to the corresponding movieclip. I have the Movieclip alpha down until roll over but i had issues with layer order. If its on top i cant access the drag items beneath it and if its below i cant see it.I tried using swapChild but then it makes it crazy. The DragItem "sticks". It shows up on pages it shouldn't (i have it on one frame but it sticks to everything and i cant get rid of it). It works when im on the current frame so i must be close?
here is what my code is currently:
//This is the graphic that i want them to hover over to call the movie clip to show
msdsHover_mc.buttonMode=true;
msdsHover_mc.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
