ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling Movie Clip Speed From Root?
Mar 2, 2010
In my document I have my actionscript on Layer 1. In this I duplicate an enemy movie clip.The controls for moving the enemy are inside the enemy movie clip, so setting speed, where to start from etc.On the Layer 1, I also run a script which acts as a timer, and when it reaches set values (eg. 10 seconds) it "levels up" (basically just changes background colour). I wand this to increase the speed of the enemy movie clips so that they get faster. I have this code:
Actionscript Code:
for(i=1;i<=enemies;i++){ _root["enemyRight"].duplicateMovieClip("enemyRight"+i,i+1000,enemyRight);
[code].....

I'm trying to control the exponential speed of the attached movie clip with AS but don't know where to start.I want the words to scroll through slowly at first and over 4 seconds the speed increases until they are all a blur.

I'm trying to control the root timeline from a movie clip. On the last frame of the movie clip, I have:
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay (10);
which successfully brings me back to frame 10 on the main timeline. However, from here, none of the ActionScript that is on Frame 1 seems to work... the rollovers aren't working, except on those embedded in a separate movie clip.

I have on my main timeline a movie clip (emptyMC) that I am loading my external SWFs into and I need to be able to access this loader movie clip from my menu, which is it's own movie clip. As it stands, when I have my buttons on the main timeline I have no issue. But once I put these same buttons into the menu MC I am lost as to how to "get back" to the loader on the main timeline to load and unload the external SWFs.Here is my current code that allows for me to load and unload with buttons on the main timeline. Is there away to modify this same code for my purposes?[code]

I press a button and have an object (a movie clip) move onto the stage - that works ok.When that movie clip gets to a certain spot, I want it to stop - that works ok.I want to be able to press the button again and have it leave the stage - that works ok.Then if I press the button again, it will come back on the stage again - that works ok.when it stops on the stage, I want a part of it to animate just once. I've been trying to do this by putting a second movie clip inside of the first, but it won't work.

Is there a way I can speed up one particular movie clip in my project? I've tried changing the frame rate, but obviously this changes the frame rate for the whole project which isn't what I want.The current project frame rate is 20fps, and I need this one movie clip to be running faster at say 30fps.Is there a way I can perhaps achieve this using Actionscript 2.0?

I have a looping movie clip and want it to speed up when the mouse rolls over one of the ends. Is there and action script that will do this? Or a different way to get it done? I faked it by making two movies with different number of frames but when you load that movie it starts over and it looks stupid. I have the scrolling animation on the site but want to put that effect on it. Click the first box after the intro to see the animation at the bottom(line of trucks) http:[url].....

I am trying to increase the speed of a movie clip by using a slider. Can someone point me to some information on how to do this? I found this but am not sure my version is picking up the change in frame rate accurately

I have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){

I have created fade in and fadeout as movieclips. Is there any script that I can use in my fadein movie clip that tell the root frame to jump to another frame?

I've got a list of links nested in a movie clip named "link_list_mc", and I've got a movie clip that simulates a radio equilizer nested in another movie clip namedcentral_control_mc".Both mcs are directly on the stage. As you can see I can reproduce the music of my links but I cannot put to play the movie equilizer. My question is, how could I send an order (like in this case: stop() or play()) to a movie clip from another movie clip?.Ive beensing:root.central_control_mc.equilizer.stop()parent.central_control_mc.equilizer.stop().t neither of them seem to work.This is the code in the first frame of my nested movie clip "list_links_mc".
Code:
var mySecondChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
//click_cl01_al01.addEvent..."click."..click_cl01_al01

When a movie clip is clicked on, another movie clip will fade out.The problem is that the clip that needs to fade out just disapears in a second, is there a way to controll the speed.I read a lot of info about this for complicated setups, is there a simple fix for this.I was hoping I could just do this designR_mc._alpha = 0/4;But that does not work.HERE IS THE CODE
design_mc.onRelease = function()
{ designR_mc._alpha =0;
}

In Flash CS3 using Action Script 3, how can I tell the main timeline to gotoAndStop(); a certain frame from within a movie clip.
I have a menu (which is a movie clip) with various buttons. Each button corresponds to a certain frame in the main movie. So if a user click on Button1, it should gotoAndStop(1); and Button2 should gotoAndStop(2); and so on.
In Action Script 2, I could use _root.gotoAndPlay(2); from what I understand, but that does not work in Action Script 3.

how to attach a movie clip to the stage or root. I have created a movie clip called movClip and have checked export for actionscript and have chosen "movClip" as its class.I have used this script:
ActionScript Code:
function button1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var mc1:movClip=new movClip();
mc1.x=0;
[code]....
This attaches the movie clip. Great! Problem is it doesn't attach the movie to the root or stage, but rather as a child of this function?? weird! so when I want to use removeChild(mc1) from a different function from a different button or even from an action set on a different timeline it can't target mc1?So how do I make this work. Basically I want one function from button 1 to attach the movie clip and I want a second function from a second button to remove the movie clip.

I've created a main page with my main links on top, and a container as my body.I load my pages with this action to the container.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "production";
container.loadMovie("production.swf");
[code]....
Inside the production.swf files I've created a gallery with a MovieClip that loads from my library to a container1 inside the production.swf. In the galleryMC(from library), Ive created a close button to unload it from the container1. It works fine from my production.swf file, but when it loads to the main page it doesn't unload. This is the ActionScript that I have to unload the Movie Clip.
on (release) {
this._root.container1.unloadMovie();
}

Just need to figure out how to pass root level variable to a movie clip which contains a dynamic text box to display the passed variable. How is this possible? I usually use global variables when i was coding in AS2...but it appears this feature is dropped in AS3.

I'm trying to add an element to the scene on the root level, and when it is dropped within a specific movie clip area, it takes that element and puts it in the movie clip, thus allowing me to mask out the area.
Everything works fine when I add can.addChild(myBox); directly, but the element is not viewable on the root scene, since the movie clip is masked. Right now with the code below, the result is gives me is not good. It creates the element on the root level, but doesn't allow me to put it in the movie clip.
