ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested MC's And Assigning Functions?
Aug 16, 2005
I have a few rows of movie clips making a menu. Because I will be adding to the number of MC's I use a variable called "menuitems" and run a FOR loops to assign all of these MC's onrollOver, onrollOut and onRelease functions. I'm doing this to save having to assign these functions to them individualy (as they are the same functions). Its works fine, but when the MC is released it is told to jump to frame 2, where there will be nested mc's that need to be able to clicked and rolled over. Because the parent movie has event functions assigned to it they seem to overide them. Is there a way around this? I tried placing a transparent MC on the 1st frame of the movie and trying to assign the onRelease function to the "hotspot" but it doesnt work. Here is my code:
Code:
function buildthumbs () {
for (i=1; i<= menuitems; i++) {[code]...........

I'm trying to get the arrow keys on the keyboard to control timeline navigation. The AS3 code i'm using works the first time, but then goes a bit crazy and stops working for some reason. Please see my attached fla. In the example you're supposed to be able to navigate along the timeline using the arrow keys (going back and forth) I'm sure there's a really easy solution to this problem but I'm new to AS3 and can't figure it out.

I am working on a page where three differnt buttons effect one movie clips properties, the one movie clip will go to its rollover state when any of the buttons are on rollover, hmm, that sounds about right] i have assigned functions within a loop and the rollovers, rollouts and instance in the loop have been defined for all but the movieClips dont go to the right place. the code i have used is this....

all the traces show up correct but not the gotoAndStop on the movieClip (inter+i+_mc_)'s.

I have been trying to figure out this by myself for a while and needless to say, I have been completely unsuccessful. I have various a loop that creates multiple movie clips called: movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4... (you get the idea...) i want to assign roll over,roll out, press functions to all of theme.g. when you press on one movie, it highlights it.but I am trying to find a summarized way over writing each one out:
movie1.onRollOver=function(){
something happens
}
someonne once told me to use chartAt to do this, to reference different mcs, but I cant figure out how to do it.

is that possible? i'm a complete beginner when it comes to flash and actionscript... so if it sounds like i dont know what i'm talking about... it's because i don't!let me describe my situation...I have about 20 boxes... and on each box i want to assign the onPress to trace the value corresponding to an Array at element "i" in the console...instead of doing:
Code:
box1.onPress = function() {
trace("the value is: "+hypotheticalArray[1]);

For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;
[Code].....
I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.

I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];
[code]....
from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.

I initially posted this in the AS3 NEWBY forum but I think it probably belongs here. On stage I have 5 boxes, the letter A and two buttons labelled button1 and button2. The letter A is also defined as a button labelled AA_btn. When I click on button1 I want a condition to be set so that if the letter A is clicked, boxes 2 and 4 will disappear. Conversly if I click on button2 I want boxes 1, 3 and 5 to disappear. To do this I have nested the letter A and B functions under the button1 and button2 functions.
I also have a reset button which resets the display of all five boxes back to their original display.Everything works fine when I press Button1 to set the first scenario. When I then click on the letter A boxes 2 and 4 disappear. (perfect). Everything also seems to work when I press the reset button, ie: all five boxes reappear.

I've got a few MouseEvent listeners outside of a function that contains nested functions that need to use the functions attached to the listeners.
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
function navigation (): void {
if statements;
[code]....
I keep getting an "1120:Access of undefined property buttonOver" error. I know it's because the EventListener is outside of the function "navigation" but I need it to be accessed by other functions later.

I have this menu_mc appearing on stage on RollOver.Inside this menu_mc are 5 other mcs that are also supposed to react on rollOver.But : the rollOver works only on the menu_mc, the rollOver on the nested mcs no. I put all the script on the main stage, accessing my nested mcs with the "insert target path".I tried also to put the script of the nested mcs inside the menu_mc movie clip, but it does not respond.What do I do wrong ?

I'm starting to get a handle on some AS3 basics in terms of building nested classes or packages or whatever the proper syntax terminology is.
Now I have two instance functions:
1 - parseXML
2 - loadImage
I have these 2 functions working together using an eventHandler. Once the XML is parsed the aim is to load an image. Sounds pretty common right?
When the image loading commands are in the parseXML function they work fine. But then when I put the image loading commands in separate function titled loadImage and trigger it using an eventHandler onComplete, it loses my variable and instance definitions.

I have run into this problem twice now, for two different reasons. Technically the more recent time it isn't a roadblock, but rather I just want to avoid memory waste by not using nested functions for my event handlers.[URL]
The reason I've come to this forum is that I always went on my merry way, defining event handler functions on movieclips within functions, until today, I read "I really didn't like the idea of defining an event handling function within a method of a class. I don't think nested functions are a really good practice." in the archives of the BIT-101 blog. So I decided to try to extract these and assign only a reference to each movieclip that needs the function. The problem is, it's in a class - and I need access to the properties of the movieclip from within the function. I figured I might be able to extend MovieClip, but I don't want anything in the library, so I run into the problem of how I would use my new movieclip-extending class - I read something about using the Linkage name of "__Packages."+[classname] - is that really proper? Either way, my final question is - if it's not good practice to use nested functions within the class, where do I create my event handler functions?

For some reason I can't get this nested set of functions to work, it executes the first tween and the tween invoked after motion of the first is finished but it doesn't ever get to the third!
ActionScript Code:
var t1:Tween=new Tween(p1,"rotationY",Strong.easeOut,90,0,50,false);
var t1x:Tween=new Tween(p1,"x",Strong.easeOut,-900,0,50,false);
t1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,onMotionFinished);

I have my function on frame 1
Code:
function backhome(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.gotoAndPlay("mapbegin");
}
At frame 10, I have a movie clip that animates and stops. Inside of that movie clip is a button that I want to go back to frame 2 when someone clicks on it. I want to be able to click on that button and call the function above.
panamacitybeach.returntomap1.addEventListener(Mous eEvent.CLICK, backhome);
When I put that code on the movie clip keyframe on the root timeline, I get this error.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at intmap_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
The addEventListener is laying on the keyframe in which the movie clip is. Why can't I call that function later on where the movie clip shows up?

I'm having problems with the scope of nested functions. I have a movie clip: "MC_clip" inside that movie clip there is a button: "inside_button". when users press "inside_button", I want the movie will jump to play frame 5 (main time line). how do i refer the stage from inside a movie clip?? another question is about the other way: how can I call to a function that is declared inside a movie clip?? is that movie clip have to be an instance on the stage??

How would you go about accessing a function or variable from a parent clip if the clip accessing has been loaded using the Loader() constructor in AS3?

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?
