ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Locate MoveClip?
Jul 28, 2006
I have loaded an external .swf file on to the stage with multiple movieClips in it. From the main timline of which I load this external .swf file, I am moving the movieclip(s) around the stage (with the commands of the arrow key). On the main timeline I have this:
function this_function() {
trace(mc_holder.village._x);
}[code]....
When I trace the village on the onEnterFrame function, I am successful in viewing the value/position of the village in the in the external .swf file. However, if 'this_occurs' and I tell it to use the function 'this_function', where I tell it to trace the village again, it doesn't recongize the movieClip, or village. Instead of giving me a value, it just gives me 'undefined'. So why is it that the 'this_function' can't locate the external .swf file village?

I recently started to use flex and I'm having trouble with the debugger. Every time I try to run it in flash player, it says it can't locate my debugger. But I downloaded the flash player debugger from the Adobe website and put it in the library > internet plugins folder. I'm using flash player 9 on flex 3.

On my website I go to "movie explorer" and go through all the ActionScript and on the bar tab it does open upa moving vertical options (it shows up when I have it in swf or preview it) but while I am in Flash CS4 I can't find it....there are extra componentsin separate files inside the folders (mx) and (tm). It is not live on my site yet but what I am trying to do is have certain tabs go directly to a different webpage (not all of them to the flash tabs as specified) as you will see by visiting my site: [URL]

I have a Flash project created in an earlier version that I'm opening in CS3. I'm trying to change one link, but it appears to be buried in code and I can't locate it and I need to change the link to an outside page.

I have a menu screen that for various reasons consists of a number of buttons as separate flash movies. When a button inside these movies is clicked, it is supposed to call a javascript function to move to the appropriate page. It works fine in firefox, but is currently failing in IE7. I don't have an IE6 handy to test on.This is the error I get in IE:[code]I can't locate what char 25 of line 1 might actually mean. I only get the error when I click on the button, and after installing Visual Web Developer to try and get some actual debugging, it doesn't seem to be actually firing the function that is called, so it seems like the error is happening in whatever mechanism actually makes ExternalInterface.call work?[code]
But as i said it doesn't even show up if I put a breakpoint here and debug it. If I put a javascript:gohere('id') link in the html screen and click that it works fine.I have ExternalInterface.call working in other parts of the same project, and can't for the life of me see any differences in the way it has been implemented.

I'm trying to load an as3 swf in another as3 swf,but it says it can't find a class that's being used in the swf that I'm trying to load.I want to know if I can specify the path of the class that's being used so that the swf can locate it when loaded to the main swf.Here's the error I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at ro.fwd.template::Main()
I tried scpecifying the path in the publish settings, but had no luck.

I'm in the process of migrating my 1st flash game from my PC to a web site. I have a preloader that will load a couple of .swf files to start but it stops when requesting the 1st URL.
Here is my code:
var l1:Loader = new Loader();
var l2:Loader = new Loader();
var completeTimer:Timer;
[code]...
This is not the entire preloader file, just the part until it halts.
Is it possible that I need to publish with specific settings? After all, everything was working fine until it was copied on the server.

I know I should read the manual to deal with the debugger.I'm not there yet. <g>.Anyhow, here's what the debugger is rendering:
at Website_fla::MainTimeline()[Website_fla.MainTimeline::MainTimeline:2]Cannot display source code at this location. What does the 2 signify?How can I locate the line of AS3 code that triggers this error?if it is too complicated to explain Ill wait until I'm into the debugging chapter of the manual.

I want users to be able to locate objects ,say rectangles, freely on the screen. Each Rectangle will have width, height, x, y.
I want that when users resize browser window, the rectangles change location and size relative to the window while maintaining proportion.
I noticed I could do something width="20%" height="20%" and then object will resize but if the aspect ration is diffenent the rectangles will look distorted. Also I wasn't sure what's the best way to locate object relatively as I noticed I couldn't bind Flexglobals.toplevelapplication.width/Flexglobals.toplevelapplication.height to x/y.

I've started getting the following when I try to run FB4 projects:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
I've installed the debugger version of the Flash Player. Didn't work. I've reinstalled Flash Builder. Didn't work. I tried using Safari instead of Firefox. Didn't work.
When I go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ in the finder, I can see Flash Player.plugin right there. But when I go to Username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins the entire folder is blank. So I tried copying Flash Player.plugin to the latter folder. Didn't work.
Mac questions (I'm new to mac): Which of these is really the root? Is it normal that there should be duplicate directories like this, with non-duplicate contents??
In FB I opened Windows --> preferences --> Flash Builder --> Profiler --> Player/Browser and browsed to /Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Players/Debug/Flash Player Debugger.app
What does Flash Player Debugger.app have to do with Flash Player.plugin?

I have a movieclip - instance name "popup clock" . The frame on which it is on has the following code:
Code:
popupclock._visible = false;
The movieclip starts off invisible like it should. I also have a button which has the following code:
Code:
on (release) {
if (popupclock._visible=true) {[code]..
The code should allow the button to make the moveclip appear and disappear but it doesn't work?

I've tried doing a loop but it gives me an error telling me that the script has run for too long.

I'm wanting to make a movie clip a link, the movie clip loads an image from a php file.
Heres the actionscript that loads the image, if it helps. Also, how do a load text into a dynamic text box with this script. The text I want to put into it is loaded from the php file.
[Code]....
Also is there any way to resize the photo in the actionscript. I want the photo to fit in a movieclip 190x120.

I'm trying to create a movieclip that on mouseDown will decrease the volume by one as long as it is pressed.
I currently have a global variable called volPercent set to 100 initially and I have two buttons with the following code.
volumeup_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (volPercent != 100) {
volPercent += 1;
[Code].....
It works great but I need it to repeat the volume increase or decrease as long as it is pressed.

How would I go about making a search function that can locate an array of buttons?
The buttons direct to movieclips. The purpose is to have a search field in the flash project to help find specific movieclips (the buttons that direct to them, anyway) based on criteria using arrays. I am using Flash8, but have access to CS4 if necessary.

I'm building a game that will be using a bitmap to render the environmental scene. the bitmap is a black image with little green squares to indicate x,y place holders for tree locations as i render the scene. i was thinking of looping thru each pixel to find green pixels but this proves to be a performance hit when the image is 2500x2500. then i found what i thought was a handy little method called BitmapData.getColorBoundsRect() that will locate the position of the green box. It does this but it returns me 1 rectangle of all the green boxes inside.

I have a sell function for my towers that when you select them and click the "Sell button" it removes the turret from the screen and stops it from firing. This all works fine.
But my problem comes when i have placed two of the same tower types on the screen at once. What happens is that it deletes everything and not just one tower like i want.
Ive thought about how i could do this and so far i have been unsuccessful in doing this.
deal with deleting a specific movie clip from the stage.
The code in question with dealing with making the Turrets is Below.
function makeTurret(xValue:int,yValue:int):void{
var turret:Turret = new Turret();
turret.x = xValue+12.5;
