I have a movie clip on the stage which contains 4 frames and i wanna call a function from for example frame number 4... Obviously i wanna call this function from the main timeline containing all the MC. How can i do that, i have been looking around but cannot find much...
View 3 Repliesis there any way I can link a button inside a MC on frame1 to a frame inside another MC that is located on another frame.Ive got 2 frames in total. On the first frame Ive got an Mc and inside this one Ive got a button that needs to be linked to frame number 50 which is inside a MC located on frame number 2.
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure that I'm on the right track here. I've got what is essentially a 'gateway' movieclip and depending on the CLICK a corresponding movieclip (form) is loaded -- these all being in their own AS file. There are multiple corresponding pages that will all load/close in their own fashion but the 'gateway' will reload in it's own function-- consequently, I have this function on the main_AS. Can I trigger this function from the sub class or do I need to move the 'reload' function to a 'reload' class.
View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 function that loads and audio file and then plays it. I have the pre-loader for the first audio file working - now I need to run the pre-load function before the 2nd audio file starts.
myMusic.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress2, false,0, true);
myMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playMusicNow, false, 0,true);
myMusic.load(soundFile, myContext); //This code works

I am using tweenlite throughout my file. I am importing it on the root timeline and would like use it inside a movie clip without having to reimport it. How do I reference it from inside the movie clip? I thought I could do something like this, but it does not seem to work: parent.TweenLite.to(leaf1, 1, {alpha:0, delay:1});
View 15 Repliestheres a function on the main timeline, I want to call it from inside of a movieclip.the first error was that it couldn't find the function and then I found a post where a guy said I should try something like MovieClip(root).fn() which made sense but then I got the "cannot convert stage to movieclip" error.
View 1 RepliesI have the following two classes and can't seem to figure to figure out how to call a function in the top one from the bottom one. The top one get instantiated on the root timeline. The bottom one gets instantiated from the top one. How do I call functions between the classes. Also, what if I had another call instantiated in top one and wanted to call a function in the bottom class from the second class?

I'm using loadMovie to load in an external SWF file. I'm looking to call a function called setText() inside of this swf. I can get to the function by doing this:
ActionScript Code:
toolTip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("toolTip", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
toolTip.loadMovie("ToolTip.swf");
[code]....
but it's not working like this:
ActionScript Code:
toolTip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("toolTip", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
toolTip.loadMovie("ToolTip.swf");
toolTip.setText(aTxt);
how I can do this without an enterframe?
I have a SWF that is used to load other swf to it.
each of the loaded swf files has its own button events that try to access javascript functions. The problem is that they can't access the javascript. It never gets to call the functions.
If i run those swf on their own then it works..
what should i do do have embedded swfs to call javascript methods ?

I have written a Flex Library project - a .swc file - which is supposed to read default configuration from a XML file inside .swc. This .swc file would be used by other modules to perform some operation. I am unable to make the URLLoader to load the XML inside the .swc file.When i run this as a normal Flex project, things work fine without any issue. With swc, it looks bin-debug folder for the XML and not inside .swc. I want the URLLoader to look inside .swc for the config file. How do i achieve this?
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("config.xml"));

View 1 RepliesI decided to rearange my flash site and now things don't work.I used to have an image collage where all the images were buttons and each image was located on the stage ( which made a stage with 10+ loose images)I made each image a button.

package{
public class Character{
protected var _hp:uint = 50; //Character Health Points
protected var _power:uint = 5; //Damage dealt
[Code].....
I`m instancing a Character and a Player in the Main Timeline, all in frame 1.
When I use: ""player.attack(character)"" it works fine by itself.
So I added the if (defender._hp <= 0) this.win() which gives me the following error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method win through a reference with static type Character.
"defender" is a Character instance, "this" is a Player instance and "win()" is a Player method. I try to call the Player method inside a Character method using the Player instance adding the "." and his method name
Do I really need to define the win() function in the Character class? Is there a bypass to use a subclass method in a parent class method if it`s called from an instance of the subclass?
I'm using the preloader like the one rhamej posted here:[URL]The part of the code I need help with is as follows:
[AS]
//fire the MovieClipLoader and attach the listener to it
var container1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container1.addListener(mclListener);
[code]....
I realize the code is wrong. I wondered if it was possible after loading an external .swf ("1_movie.swf") within the container, if you could then press a button (enter_button) located within the external .swf ("1_movie.swf") , and use the preloader code to load another external .swf on release ("tree20.swf"). I'm having trouble because the preloader code is in the main timeline of my main flash file ("index.fla"), and I don't know how to make the preloader code recognize the button located within the external .swf, and use it to load another external .swf within the same movie clip.

This is my code in Flash/AS3, in a frame's action:
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{

This is because I believe it is referring the splashTimer1 function by "this".
How can I refer to parent frame there, so that I can remove its event listener.
I have a function to resize my stage which is located in the main movie. There is another movie which is loaded into the main movie and I want the loading movie to call the resize function which is located into the main movie. In short how can I access functions which are located on the main loading movie.
I have treid _level0.resize(); // Doesn't work
_level.parent.resize(); // Doesn't work
But at the same time there is a text field which I can easily update throught the loaded movie by
_level.my_text.text = "Anything"; // Does work
I'm an AS3 noob who is trying trying to get more comfortable with passing arguments into functions.why when the following code is all in one AS3 file as seen below it works and draws the purple square...

I have two movieclips on the same frame but on different layers located within the movieclip. The first movieclip plays just fine. However, the second one isn't going ahead even a single frame. The code that I have mentioned below is located withing the second movieclip containing background image. And I think this code is causing the issue because when I remove this it plays perfectly fine. The function of this code is to automatically re-size background image with the browser dimensions. The whole code just worked fine on the main timeline.However, when I shifted it inside a movieclip its causing an issue.
//set stage for FBF
stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
