ActionScript 2.0 :: Movies - Accessing A Button After Have Attached It To The Stage From The Library
Jun 1, 2007
I am having problems accessing a button after I have attached it to the stage from the library... My code is as such:
[Code]...
On the rollover - the movie recognises nothing as executable. OK >> Yes - I have linked in the properties, an identifier for AS Export .. for the original map_functions, inside it is an MC called close_mc - This MC is linked for AS Export as close_mc Why is this not working? PS. the function calls are from Lacos Tween engine.

When I dynamically / randomly attach movies to the stage I dont want my movies to overlap eachother... How to do this? I tried using hitTest but that didnt work for me, so I wrote some kind of hittest function myself... but that doesn't work right either.

I'm looking into using Flex as a level editor for a flash game project I'm doing for my degree.
However I would like to load the actual game.swf (where all the artwork is done) into the Flex editor, populating a tree/list with all the symbols in the library so they can be visibly referenced in the engine while you are building up your maps and levels.
Is this even possible? I've been doing some research for the past few days and I've found bits. Like this:
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(url);
loader.addEventListener(Event.INIT, callbackFunction);
[Code]....
This works if you know the instance names of each symbol in the library, is there a way of getting a list of them all so I can loop through something like the code above or simple getting an array of all the symbols?

I have a movie called "my.fla" in which I attach some MC's.I also have buttons that load swf's in a "container".But when I test the buttons,the attached MC's in "my.fla" keep appearing before the swf loads.I tried EVERYTHING with removeMovieClip,but I can't get it to work(The swf's I load also have attachMovie in them)
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.attach = function(base) {
base["content"+nr].attachMovie("shirt_"+nr, "clip"+nr, nr);
if (nr == tot) {[code]....

I am attaching a bunch of instances of a movieClip to my stage and I want to call a function in this movie clip that I'm attaching however I don't seem to be able to access the movieClips functions. Is there any known reason why this may be happening, something I don't know about attached clips? I'm doing something similar to whats below
Code: myPointer = attachMovie("libraryName","myNewName",newLvl); myPointer.doMyFunc(); I know the clip is attaching correctly because I can see it, but I can't seem to access any functions within the attached clip. I also know that "myPointer" is correctly addressing the attached clip because I can change the clips properties such as width and height.

I have a website, when you click a menu item it fades the current page out, and the selected one in. No problems with that, it all works well.
The only problem is, within those attached movies, all the actionscript doesnt work. I have, for example, a research page, which have 4 buttons, each of which attach a movieclip to and empty movieclip... Just a simple attachMovie function, but it doesnt work. If copy the research movieclip into a seperate flash file, everything works and the movies are attached fine, but in the website .fla, after the research page is loaded itself, none of the movies attach properly.
Are there any known issues with attaching movies within an attached movie?

i am loading some thumbnails from an xml file into a movieclip using attachMovie() - each thumbnail loaded is in it's own MC inside the 'container' MC. everything works great but i need to be able to scroll the thumbnails b/c the number of thumbnails can change but the space they have to fit into cannot. make sense? if attach them to a scrollpane or a textarea instead of a MC it only shows the last thumnail loaded or iterated in the for loop.
Code:
articleNos = seasArts.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length;
var item_spacing = 55;
var item_count = 0;

I used the tutorial posted at http:[url]... Now I have a button on my stage that attaches a movie from the library.
on (release) { this.holder.attachMovie(contents�,�contentslinks� ,1); }
It works fine but I also have buttons inside the attached movie clip that need to control a movie that is already on the stage.
contentslinks.contents_link_1.onRelease = function() { content_mc._visible = false; book_mc.directGotoPage(4);
If I just place the attached movie on the stage the buttons work but I when I proceed to use attachMovie, they do not work. How do I get the buttons in the attached movie to address the movie that is already on the stage?

I've created a movieclip in my library which has, among other things, a dynamic text field. This text field has an instance name of "txt".
I then attach this movieclip and want to set the txt instance, but I get an error:

I've created a simple class that defines a scrollbar to scroll content. I've applied this class (ScrollBox.as) to a movieclip in the library as the Base Class.
Now, I'd like to add this movieclip to the stage with AS3. So for the Linkage, I've given the movieclip a class name of 'AboutBox'. This is the code I've written to add it to the display list[code]...

Can any answer the following questions and maybe point me to a "for dummies" tutorial on 'Classes'. I have the books but they have seemed to disappoint me. Unfortunately I can never ask "why" when reading a book.
1) Does a Class file need to be attached to a library symbol?
2) How do you know what to import?I know this sounds funny but should you always import flash.display.MovieClip? I just want to create a line using a class to begin with and call it from a flash swf with two parameters (start and end).Wouldn't it only need to be a import flash.display.Graphics
3) What is "Base class is final."? Anybody had this error before?[code]

How do I make a preloader if I have only attached movieclips from the library, I know how to make a preloader but not for attached movieclips. The movieclips are attached from level 0 to 12, and I want one preloader to preload all levels at once, how do I do that? Tried with a for loop to loop through all levels but it didn't work.

I have the following as code in a separate file placed in the root folder of the swf file. The as file is the class for a MovieClip in the library.When i manually place the library symbol on the stage, the MC works fine and draws the square with the nodes. However, when I try to create a copy using ' new sqMC();' code, I get an error.
Code:
package {
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.Point;

I have a website setup in IIS 7.5 with a virtual directory pointing to a local folder outside of the www root of my website e.g:
the website is c:website
the virtual directory is in c:images
I use flowplayer to play my movies, when I put the movie path in my website root directory structure, say c:websitemoviesa.flv it works fine in the player, but if I put them inside the virtual directory and point the player to play it from there using a relative URL, it doesn't work
I suspect that this has to do with either permissions or flash configurations to allow it to access directories outside of the scope of the website, but I have no idea where to edit such settings

I have a series of movies in my library (called page1, page2, page3... page87) and I'm looking to load the first one into a blank movie (called pageHolder).Using 'next' and 'previous' buttons, I then want to unload and load the next in the series of 'pages'. I'm trying to work out the best way to do this using addChild and removeChild, but not having much luck. I've read that the best way to do this entire sequence is to set up an array, but I have no previous experience with arrays.

I wasn't sure if I were to put this in the Actionscript forum or in here, so I put it in here. I'm making a small test for a game so I made two attached movieclips to the stage. I got them to move at each other, but when they hit, it doesn't detect it. Is there anyway i can make them hit eachother? Heres the code

- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.
