ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested Button Work If Placed On Frame 1
May 19, 2007
I have a MC on my stage that has 2 buttons nested inside. So, the problem is that I have a stop(); actions on the first frame ( first frame is blank ) and I only play the movie once someone rolled over another button outside this MC. Because I'm giving the instructions to my buttons from the timeline. I have all the code on a frame and am calling the buttons from there but it seems that the buttons won't work properly if they are not placed on the first frame.
Example:
_root.myMC.otherMC.myButton.onRelease = function(){
getURL("[URL]","_self");
}
That simple thing won't work if the button are placed the way they are now, it seems that flash can see the button only if they are at frame 1... and no, I don't want to put the code directly on the button, I want to make it work this way.

On the stage I have 3 objects on the stage which are on top of each other:
top: transparent button (which controls the mc underneath)
under this button: an image which is a mc
under this image: a graphic background with text that describes the image, and a new trans button which will send the users to a separate url.
Problem:The button to go to the url does not work.
To make things simply, I have the top button setting the alpha of the mc to 0% onRollover, in order to view the text. And reset it to 100% on RollOut.
how I can still get this effect with the rollovers, and get my url button to work too?

How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?
Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.
popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
[code]....
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).

I have a character, every body part is a movieclip. Now I wanted to put a movieclip for the eyes inside of the headmovieclip so that I can change them independently from the mouth. So in the eye-movieclip that is inside of the head-movieclip I put two keyframes, one for opened eyes and one for closed eyes. I put it to "Single frame" in properties. Now, whenever I make a pose and I change the frame number under properties so that it displays the closed eyes, it does that for the whole movie, not only on the frames that I changed it.
I wanted to use that to control things like eyes, ears and the mouth individually but like this it won't work, it changes it for the whole animation.

I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button. I added an event listener to the blog button by saying[code]...
i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.

I have an problem whereby I have created a Frame by Frame dancing human figure and now I want to move it across the screen as well as scale it using a Tween.
I have spent quite some time slightly adjusting the upper arms, forearms, hands, legs etc and creating a new keyframe for each movement. All the movements are all in one layer... ie the forearm doesn't have it's own layer etc. I am running the animation at 24fps so there is quite bit going on.
I now realise that I should have created a symbol/movie clip from the first image I created and then scaled and moved the image first before animating it's limbs but I only realized that after hours of work and I would hate to start all over again.
So basically what I have is a dancing human figure in the one spot moving it's arms and legs and I want it to move across the screen and become larger by scaling it using a Tween. I could of course re-edit each keyframe by slightly scaling and the slightly moving the figure but that will take quite some time to get right as there will be a fair bit of trial and error doing it that way.

I have the following problem: I have this multi-level array (nested array) which contains two rows of bitmapData. Row 1:360 rotated bitmapData objects; row 2: 360 rotated and colored bitmapData objects.
I try to access row 2 but that doesn't work. There are some mysterious error messages coming up ("TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@36d7e9e9 to flash.display.BitmapData. at BasicBlitArrayObject/updateFrame()").
this function rotates and colors bitmapData; the rotated bitmapData is thrown into an array and the colored bitmapData is thrown into another array; a third array is used as a level array for nesting the other two arrays inside of it
Code:

I am using loadVariables to send the form variables to a php file. I use the same method in a test environment but it is not nested like this is and it needs to be nested. It is 2 movieclips deep and it will just not work. Is there something funny with using loadVariables to php in nested movie clips? I have also tried this method with LoadVars and getting the same results.

I'm creating an interactive map in Flash. The stage size is 800 x 600. To this stage I am adding a large (zoomed-in) map in which I want to display many points. The large map is 4000 x 3000. This map is adding correctly but I experience trouble when I try to add the points to the map. I want to add these points directly onto this large map and I want them to move with it when it pans. Unfortunately, when I add the points their coordinates are read relative to the stage rather than relative to the large map MovieClip. The complication is that the large map is added to the stage at a different location dependent on where the smaller map is clicked by the user.The Question: How do I get flash to add these points relative to the large map's coordinate system rather than the stage's?
What I have tried: globalToLocal/ localToGlobal functions are fine for tracing but don't seem to give me a useable result Setting the coordinates of a Point to the result of this function to give the local origin obviously doesn't work.[code]

I have written a nested if statement that refuses to work properly. My fla file consists of the main timeline and a movieclip. The problem lies in the pwrbtn function. I need the pwrcomp Boolean to prevent the call to firstpage() from happening more than one time. However when I test it keeps cycling so my traces are frame2, true, frame2, true, so on and so forth. Have I just made some small mistake that Im not seeing?

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 always face this problem when coding with flash, and still not able to get a solution for this problem....
if the nested mc is in the 1st frame then I can use: Level1_mc.Level2_mc.Level23_mc.gotoAndStop("2");
If refering nested btn I will use: MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("2");
so my question is, how about refering an mc from main timeline into nested mc but different frame( frame 4,5 or 6....)?

I've got a play and stop buttons on the stage which are controlling some 3 nested MovieClips, It controlls Well the MovieClip which is located on the first frame, but when I want to stop/play the other two MC's (frames 2 & 3) I get the following error -
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at jukebox_fla::MainTimeline/playMP3()
I know the problem is that I just can't control any other Nested Instances of a MovieClip Unless it is located on it's First frame. How can I stop/play the other 2 MC's (Frames 2 & 3) by coding from the main stage?

On my main timeline, I have a movieclip called "mainpage". Within "mainpage", I have a button that when clicked upon, needs to go back to the main timeline, into another movieclip, and to a specific frame in that movieclip. The code I've been using for all my other buttons is this:
Code: Select allfunction goAdler (e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndStop("adler");
}
adler_proj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goAdler);
In that particular case, the button is going up to the parent movieclip of it's parent to a specific frame label.The problem I'm having is that I need for this button within "mainpage", rapp_proj_btn, to go to the main timeline, go into a movieclip a few frames down called "portfolio_content" (on a frame labelled "Portfolio"), and to a frame labelled "rapp". No matter what I've tried, I can't seem to target the "portfolio_content" movieclip, even though I've put the instance name on it and everything. I can, using the code below, get the rapp_proj_btn to go to "Portfolio", but I can't get inside that "portfolio_content" movieclip that sits on that frame.
This is the code I use to get to the proper frame:
Code: Select allfunction goRapp (e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("Portfolio");
}
rapp_proj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRapp);
I tend to get an error describing not being able to get to an undefined property called "portfolio_content", and to be honest, in AS3, I'm not exactly sure how to go about fixing that error. I've tried calling the "portfolio_content" instance name in the code (right before gotoAndStop), but it doesn't recognize the movieclip.

I've got different skins on my flash site. the site becomes skinned when a user clicks a skin button and the related MC's in my movie go to the appropriate labelled frames with the .png graphics for that skin.
I pretty much just use go to and stop for that and it works great on static (non-animated MC's). I've got one situation though where my MC is animated (it slides up and out of the way to reveal content underneath).I need to be able to tell that MC to go to and stop on the correct frame and then STAY THERE! I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it stay there. At present it defaults back to its first frame whenever it is tweened (animated).

Trying to create a link from an html page to the contact section of a flash website. I understand how to link to a specific frame by creating an anchor over the target frame, but it only works if its in a single movie. The problem is that the section I want to target is on a deeply nested movie which the main movie loads such as
Code:
loadMovieNum("images/topback.swf", 8);
Instead of the html code looking like this "index.html#contact" for a single movie what would a nested link code look like?

I am using flash cs3 and I have a series of quotes that fade in and out. I have a movie clip that does the fading in and out and then nested in there I have the quotes.
fadeInOut1_mc (is the instance of the fading in and out)
quotes1_mc (is the instance of the timeline of quotes nested in the above movie clip)
When the quotes end I would like the main timeline in Scene 1 to move to the next frame and play.
fadeInOut1_mc is in the timeline of Scene 1
If I could do that I think I'd be off to the races, but I'm stuck on it.

The below function does not work probably due to the path being typed incorrectly. How can i fix it?
ActionScript Code:
function ChangeTheme(Thistheme)
{
for (i = 1; i <= 218; i++)
{
with (this["sector" + i])
[Code]...
Also worth mentioning: On each of those frames, i have defined a local variable to label the sector. the label's name will be the same as the movie clip that is visible on that frame, as described below:
Actions for Frame1 of WallNorth: fLabel = CementRoad_mc
actions for frame2 of WallNorth: fLabel = DirtRoad_mc
P.S. "Thistheme" is just a way of advancing the frame of "Cementroad" (to display the cement road as wet or dry or muddy or w/e)

I have an instance of a movie clip that runs and after it runs I want it to call a frame to gotoAndStop back on the main timeline (stage). What is the code for that? When the animation ends, I am simply giving it a stop(); and then I want it to go to the next frame on the main timeline. I think this used to be _root in AS2.

I have a large flash app (> 100k) w/ its own looping preloader animation in the first frame. This preloader should happily spin while the app loads. (For various important reasons, I can't use a separate SWF to load the app.)Bug:When I export the classes in a later frame, all of the preloader animation's simple timeline commands (stop, gotoAndPlay) stop working.Test:I can reproduce this in a very simple test:The red ball should stop (as seen in example 1) and doesn't (example 2).Question:Do any of you know how to get around this? I've been trying everything I can think of and haven't found a solution. If this is unbeatable, it seems the only real timeline preloader you can do is a code-drawn progress bar

I have been searching for a resolution to this for weeks but to no avail. I have made a game already where I had a character names mainChar placed on the screen using the Flash IDE. With this method, i was able to access it's various nested movieclips such as mainChar.walk and mainChar.jump. The problem is that I am making a new game where the main character is loaded via external code using hero:mainChar = new mainChar(); in the external file. after this, i would like to check what the current frame of a nested movieclip is. for example, hero.walk.currentFrame. however, by initializing it using the external code, as opposed to my previous method of placing it right on the stage, the compiler is not picking up of hero.walk.currentFrame stating that "a term is undefined and has no properties (error type 1010)". Is there any way for me to let the compiler know that the nested movieclip is there. It's odd because i can state hero.gotoAndStop("walk"), but when i say hero.walk it gives an error, so i know it isnt spelling.
