ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Contact MovieClip To Recognize OnPress / OnRollOver?
Jan 21, 2010
So far I have created/hacked about some code for an infinite scrolling menu bar, and am trying to create the rollover and release actions for each menu title. After researching it seemed best that the buttons were made from movies clips as apposed to the 'button' type, but I am not sure if this is the case. The problem I am having is that I am unable to get the Contact movie clip to recognise the onPress or an onRollOver and I am not sure why. The .fla file is available here and this is the code I tried to get it to work.
Code:
_root.scrolling_mc._root.menu_mc._root.contact_mc.onPress = function () {
if(contact_mc.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true) ) {
trace("Does this button work?!");
}
I also tried:
Code:
_root.scrolling_mc._root.menu_mc._root.contact_mc.onRollOver = function () {
trace("Does this button work?!");
}
I understand I am probably on the wrong tracks with the use of _root. but I need to somehow trigger the nested movieclips.

I've created three movieclips to select the next level, and these work fine the first time my game runs, but when I come back to them, after the first game is over and we're restarting, the movieclips appear, but the onRollOver,onRollOut and onPress do not work...

I have created a simple grid on my canvas.First I defined an empty movieclip (wrapper) for my grid, then I draw lines onto it to make the grid.Now, I want to click on the grid and get the x/y of where I clicked so I can determine where in the grid i am. But my trace in the onPress event does not show.I'm under the impression that my mcGrid has a 0x0 width and height. When I trace the mcGrid._width in the bottom it outputs "0" so maybe that's why it is not working? Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mcGrid", 1);
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var clipName = "mcHorizontal_"+i;

I have a movieclip and i put an onRollOver call on it. The problem is the onrollover fires only once when the ouse is on top of the movieclip. In flash, how can i do something equivalent to the onmousemove in javascript?

I'm trying to make an onPress function for a MC inside a MC and I have figured it will look something like this:
_root.mc1.mc2.onPress = function(){}
It won't work though. What to do? (Now I see, I have that mc2 on the 2nd frame inside mc1... if I put it also on the first frame it works fine, but I don't want it on the first frame).

button_mc.onPress1 = function() {
Some code that make the menu appear
} button_mc.onPress2 = function() {
Some code that make the menu disappear

I want a transparent movie clip that displays a tool tip when you roll over it. Beneath that movie clip I have other movie clips that I want to be clickable. Unfortunately having the "onRollOver" event on the top layer movie clip blocks the "onRelease" events of the lower movie clips. If I move the smaller movie clips on top it will work but I have to setup a tool tip for each of them (and it disappears and reappears when I move from one MC to another). I also thought about using the "onMouseMove" event and doing a hit test, but that seems less efficient.

why this will not allow button to be seen, on MouseOver it simply ignores the Actionscript.
Code:
loadThumbnails = function() {
/* Select project nodes from each section in main [i] loop */
//trace("------------------");
allProjectData = myXML.childNodes[i].childNodes;

I have a movieclip that has selectable text / scroll bar / other buttons etc - What I would like is to have an onRollOver / RollOut event to call a function on the entire movieclip, however when I do this - The entire movieclip is treated as a button and I cannot select the text nor click the scroll bar / other movieclip buttons within this movieclip. Is there a way to set the onrollover / rollout to execute a function without having the movieclip itself turn into a button / stop functioning?

I have a scrollBar movieClip inside an interface that is not always responding to the onPress event. Sometimes, it works fine, and sometimes I have to roll off of the scrollBarMC for the cursor to change back to the finger and respond to the onPress event. Other times, it responds more than once to the event on just one click.
I realize that there could be other issues within my interface's code, however, when I trace my function calls they seems to not execute or execute more than once. Has anyone else ever run across such an issue with the movieClip.onPress event? Below is the code for the scrollBar mc. Anyone see something glaring?

In my FLA file (FLASH-8, AS-2)? in the library I have a movieclip named "mc" which is just one frame and in it specifies a property "price" like this: this.price="three";
In the main scene I have this code:
attachMovie("mc","t1",1)
t1.onPress=function(){trace(t1.price)}; //returns the correct value "three"
trace(t1.price); //returns "undefined"
Why the first trace(t1.price) returns the correct value and the second one returns "undefined"?And how do I make this property available without using onPress? The objective is to output the pictures of a set of movieclips and place the price of each picture under it using a dynamic textfield
