how I can make a certain code that works on the time line, work when placed inside of a MC? I know my question is too vague but my code is huge and if I post it it's going to be more difficult than if I can just get the logic and change the code my self.
View 12 RepliesHow do I make the actions contained in a movieclip work on the main timeline? For example. In the movieclip, I have some buttons and I have an "Actions" layer there which contains all the functions of the buttons, listeners and such.
I placed this movieclip on Frame 1 of the main timeline.
When I run the program, I'm able to hover my mouse over the buttons and it changes to a "finger" cursor as if they can be clicked on, however, when I click the buttons, nothing happens. It's as if it's not recognizing the Mouse Click event listeners I put on the buttons in the "Actions" layer of the movieclip.
Im using the following script in the main timeline frame and I've got many buttons inside the buttons_mc.How do I change this script to make a button which is inside the buttons_mc work with a scrollpane.

I'm pretty much a beginner at creating websites in flash. I've used flash to animate before but that's not really worling in this case. Basically, I'm just trying to make a button that's inside a movieclip go to a specific frame within the movieclip it's in. This is the error message I keep getting:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to Flash and I am wanting to create a virtual tour through a house. I DON'T want the panoramic views; I want to be able to have the buttons walk the user forward through the house and look side to side. I have successfully made the left, right, and forward buttons look side to side and move forward for one sequence, but once I add multiple "If" scripts for the forward button it messes everything up. Furthermore, when I want the forward button to go back to its screen when on the left screen it doesn't want to seem to work.
All this is to say how do I get a button to do different "if" functions from frame to frame.
The code I currently have looks like this:
stop();
up_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (_root._currentframe == 4) {
[code]....
it seems to mess up the entire button. It will only do the first command in the structure. All of it has been VERY frustrating and I don't know how to structure it so that it will go to the desired frame but also go back to the frame I want when looking left or right.
I`m tying to get this script to work across all frames... but it doesn`t so I copied it to the first few - then it works.

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that has a few layers and a button on one of the layers. on the button I have this code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on(rollOut){
gotoAndPlay("out");
}
Now, this mc is on the Main timeline and has an istance name "home_btn". I have a sliding menu type navagation going on and have some code for the "home_btn" on the main timeline:
home_btn.onRelease = function(){
menuSlide(contentHold.content1);
}
WHen I try to use the code on the maintime line and the code on the button inside the mc--it ofcourse doesn't work. How can I reference the rollover/out actions on the inside of the mc from the main timeline?
i had placed buttons on and the Actionscript 2.0 Play,Pause, Ffwd etc and when i test the video the buttons do not function.
View 3 RepliesThis is what I have...I Have 2 buttons in MC named mcMovieTrans the AS for these buttons are in the MC's timeline, the code is:
stop();
function playLifeboy(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(3);[code].....
This is where the problem occurs because when this action takes place and it returns to the parent MC (mcMovieTrans) The buttons actions dont work anymore.And I get this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I got a set of buttons and a text field where they load the content.I'm trying to not make one zillion functions and keep the code neat so i guessed i would try set the buttons' actions within the loop too. I firstly had some problems getting the i counter inside the onRelease function (actually I don't think i ever got how to do it). But I tried this and worked:
stop();var comprarXML = new XML();comprarXML.ignoreWhite = true;comprarXML.load('flash/comprar.xml');comprarXML.onLoad = checkLoading; function checkLoading(success) { rootNode = comprarXML.firstChild; ButtonReleaseAndContent ();} function ButtonReleaseAndContent (){ for (i=0;i<12;i++){ // my buttons are not generated dynamicly, that why the count. btTemp =
[code]....
At the line where I set the text, I had a though " I may have to refer from within the button mc, since the generated code goes inside it!". So i tried the this.temp , guessing that this would be equal to the button level. A few seconds later i noticed my referencing for the text field wasn't coming from within the button, but from the root.
I've ran into a very nasty little problem that has been buggin me for few days.
Basically I have a main (parent) swf which loads the content of the sub pages into a MovieClip called mc_container.
Inside every child SWF I have a code to repostion and resize its contents as I need with stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, relocateandresize);
But the problem is, once this SWF is embedded into the main (parent) swf, this code stops working.
I am making an interactive map of the US.When you hover over a state it zooms in and cities pop up.When you click the city it should a page, for now just google.I have the basics for the first state, California.The zoom works and the cities pop_up.However, when you click the city the link doesn't work. The cities are instances of a movie clip, city.I placed them inside the CA movie clip in their approx locations and named them SF_mc, LA_mc, SD_mc respectively.Here is the code.i added some comments.the FLA is attached in zip as well.It is CS5 file but I'm more familar with AS2 so yea.This is the first frame of the CA movie clip, actions layer
Code:
stop();
/this is all zoom stuff
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code].......
In the first frame the cities are not on the stage yet. They are add later when the state is zoomed. SO i thought maybe that is why it not working so i tried duplicating the code on the frame after the zoom where i add the cities and it is still not working...
I've done a website with different pages using the Loader component. On one page I have a movieclip that has different images (like a slideshow) that fade between each other. I'm trying to add an action to make the movieclip pause for a few seconds between each fade. So I've added this action between each fade (in a layer, above the graphics layers, that only holds actionscript):
Code:
stop();
function restart(){

I have a flash code where i am loading an AS 2 SWF inside AS 3. The thing is if i put the AS 2 SWF on same domain its working fine but if i put AS 2 SWF on different domain it loads the SWF properly but the "stop()" written inside the AS 2 frame doesnt work... and it keeps on playing all the frames continuously...
Here is the loading code..
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
if(Security.sandboxType == Security.REMOTE){ context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain };
var objLoader:Loader = new Loader();var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SomeURL.swf");objLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event .COMPLETE, onSWFLoadComplete);objLoader.load(mRequest, context);

In Actionscript 3.0 I want to make two timeline animation happen at the same time. I can't seem to get it to work.
Do I need another eventlisetner and function to perform this extra animation or can i nest it in the function that is already there?

I have a mc that is duplicated. the duplicates have stuff in them. One of these things is another mc. I want that mc to trigger the onRollOver and onRollOut functions for the shell mc (the one that houses the mc that has the rollover/out actions), and I want it to have a hit area of only that inner mc, not the whole shell mc. How can I achieve this?here's my code:
Code:
for (var i = 0; i<rows; i++) {
var thematrix = smile.duplicateMovieClip("smile"+i, i);
[code].....
The Function is:
Code: Select allfunction Click_Die () {
this.gotoAndStop(die111+die11+die113);

I have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.
So, this is my thought-process:
First, I make an Array to hold all my Buttons. Then I make a loop and throw all the instances of the Buttons inside.
ActionScript Code:
var TextButtons: Array = new Array(); //my container for the buttons
for (var j:Number=0; j<6; j++){
var mb: menuButton = new menuButton(); //button created
[Code]....
Every works up to here and looks pretty sweet. Then things get tricky. I would like to be able to create Text, specifically tlf, as part of the instances of the Buttons, so that when I mouseOver the text is grows and shrinks proportionally with the Button. I'm stumped, and exhausted my knowledge of AS3. I tried to make a separate array with TLFTextFields, and things just got funky. I am using TLFTextField, because there is an option to make them read-only. Somehow I need to make them inside the Buttons.
How can I make a single wav file out of two .wav inside a swf?

I heard that the .roots don't work anymore on AS3.

In my current project I need to create a bitmap from the last frame of a video. For this I use:
Code:
var _vidBitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width, video.height, false, 0x0000ff);
_vidBitmapData.draw(video);
var bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(_vidBitmapData)
This works like a fairy in wonderland if I create the video with dimensions matching the stream:
Like
Code:
video =new Video(1280,800)
However, when I change the Video's size on receiving the onMetaData Event according to the actual streams width and height properties, the capture i get from _vidBitmapData.draw is still in the dimensions of how I created the Video. So if I do
Code:
video =new Video(10,10)
and then
private function onMetaData(metadata:Object):void {
video.width=metadata.width;
video.height=metadata.height;
}
I get a nice display of the video.
However when doing the
Code:
var _vidBitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width, video.height, false, 0x0000ff);
_vidBitmapData.draw(video);
var bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(_vidBitmapData)
I get a 10 x10 px image....
Flash CS5 on Windows 7 I have a problem with a project I am creating. I have created 3 buttons which when clicked open other movieclips for each button. On each of the movieclips that the buttons send them to, all have a back button to return them back to the original view.
This back button works fine apart from once they are back at the original view, the 3 buttons stop working.
I'd really like to use this package in Flash as3:[URL]... I've copied the source and saved it as a file called MP3Loop.as. In the same folder I have a .fla with some code in it like this:
var looper:MP3Loop = new MP3Loop(); So far as I can see this should be all I need to have a play with the package, but it doesn't seem to work. Instead I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MP3Loop/initUI() at MP3Loop() at loop_test_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

There are enough examples on the internet to learn how to make your own Class, here's an example of what I did, it is saved as a seperate *.as-File:[code]The Idea is that I can add a bunch of descriptions (for multiple persons) to an holder array, which allows me to do more with them.Actionscript has no idea what this "Character" is. Instead I'm getting the Errorcodes
-1046 (Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Character)
-1180 (Call to a possibly undefined method Character)
