ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Changed Text Value From Frame 1 Assigned To Frame 2
Jun 9, 2009a_modified_dog suggested, and was kind enough to provide working code in the thread, Assign text to dynamic text fields on different frames, using the "onChanged" event placing code in the main time line of both frames 1 and 2 of a Flash Actionscript 2 movie. The "onChanged" event has been designed apparently for input style text fields only - requiring the user to input text. The code example provided works well for that sequence. But my intended sequence of user events does not permit the user to input a text value. The "onChanged" event does not work with the following intended sequence of user actions:
(1) the user makes a selection from a scrolling list of items that appear within a movie clip (MC1) on frame 1. The list is comprised of a number of selectable buttons.
(2) When the user clicks a button (BTN1) contained in MC1, the onRelease event assigns a string value to a text box (TXT1) within a separate movie clip (MC2) on frame 1. (this is working well)
(3) the user then clicks a stand alone button (separateBtn) on frame 1 that invokes a "gotoAndStop" at frame 2. (no problem)
(4) The text (TXT1) from within the movie clip (MC2) on frame 1 needs to be assigned to a text box (TXT2) on the stage of frame 2. (BIG PROBLEM)
I've played with both dynamic text fields and input text fields. Using the "onChanged" event works well with input text fields IF the user actually enters text into the input text box. Using the intended sequence, a text value is being assigned to TXT1 in MC2 by a button "onRelease" event from within MC1. This same text value (TXT1) should also appear in the text box TXT2 on frame 2. I've tried both input and dynamic style text boxes for TXT1. Both work well for showing the assigned text string on frame 1. Both styles also, when advancing to frame 2, show "undefined" in the corresponding text box (TXT2) on frame 2. Neither input or dynamic style of text box seem to recognize the "onChange" event - from having no text when starting up to having text within TXT1 dynamically appear after the user makes their selection from the button (BTN1)event (onRelease) in MC1.I tried assigning the text in TXT1 on frame 1 to a variable (var_txt1) - in the main time line - and having TXT2 on frame 2 read and assign the variable to TXT2 (TXT2.text = var_txt1), scripting also on the main timeline of frame 2.. Again, all attempts result in "undefined" appearing in TXT2 instead of the variable value (var_txt1). Using 'trace" on frame 1 shows the correct value for the variable (var_txt1). When advancing to frame 2, "trace" shows "undefined".

View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flag Assigned To One MC
Aug 1, 2010I have an array packed with 100 movieclips. Say, I randomly move each array element across the stage. Now I decide to stop a specific mc. What I would normally do is remove it from the array it currently is at, so the for loop cannot "see" it. When I work with only one mc, I simply set a boolean flag, e.g. ActionScript Code: var isMoving:Boolean = false;, and make it possible to move only when the flag is true. However, it fails to work right when there's more objects on the stage, because once I set the flag to false, all mc's freeze, not the one that actually was meant to. Finally, here comes my question: is it feasible to assign a flag to a specific element of an array? Each element to have its own flag?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Reference A MovieClip By The Variables Assigned To It?
Feb 2, 2010I've had this problem with Flash for awhile now and I've always been able to find a way to work around it, but this time, I think I'm just going to have to figure out a way to do it. Say I have a bunch of movieClips on the stage that have text fields in them that have data dynamically assigned to them from an SQL database. Once I've assigned data to these fields, can I reference a certain movieClip that contains a predefined value within its text field?
So, if I had three movieClips on the stage, with textfields in them that have the values "500" "600" and "700" is it possible to just reference the movieClip whose textfield currently says "700"? It doesn't have to be a just a textfield, either. If I could reference them by variables assigned to them. Like, it I assigned them a variable called "id" and the values were "500" "600" and "700" would it be possible to just reference the movieClip whose "id" is "700"?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Reference - Action Not Assigned

IDE :: Flash CS3 - Incorrect Font Assigned To TextField
Mar 9, 2009We are having some issues with phantom TextFields in our projects and about 5% of the files I encounter have a TextField with an incorrect font (which is how I know they exist). However, these TextFields don't show up in the "Movie Explorer", nor "Find and Replace", nor can an JSFL scripts find them. So the only way to hunt them down it to delete the elements in the Library until the Font in question no longer shows up in the Missing Font Warning on startup. I revert the file in SVN and dive into the components and then select the Textfields and without question there is a Textfield that had the incorrect font assigned to it.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Depths Particular To Movieclips?
Feb 3, 2005Are depths particular to the timeline of the movieclip you refer to it? In other words, let's say you have actionscript to duplicate a movieclip 100 times, each time putting the new one on the next depth. But the code and the movieclip to be duplicated are themselves inside a movie clip. Are those depths inside that movieclip?
So for instance, let's say the parent movieclip lies on the maintime. And on a layer above that is a button. Are those duplicated movieclips going to be visibly above or below the button? A tangible example: I would like to have a smoke/steam effect that uses duplicateMC and depths. But I need the effect to be underneath other movieclips at certain times. Can I just contain the effect inside a movieclip that sits on a layer below other movieclips on the maintimeline? Or do I need to stop the effect and do a swapdepth with whatever the last depth was?

View 4 RepliesSwap Depths: Not Working With Animation
Jul 31, 2009*I can't post the file due to the company policy, so I'll do my best to explain. 3 movie clips: slide 1, 2, and 3. Each loads an external image.
Layers (how I have them set up):
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
The slides have a 3d feel, as if they are in the distance. When the user clicks one, the slide(mc) motion-tweens towards the screen, while the other 2 stay back. Obviously, if slide 2 comes towards the screen then slide 1 will be over top of it DUE TO layer structure (above). And of course, 1 & 2 will be over slide 3. To get around this I made a "current" layer over top of all the slide layers. So if I click on slide 2/3 then the tween is up on the "current" layer instead of the "slide 2/3" layer so that it's the highest.
