Let's suppose we have this tiny piece of code:
Code:
var parentObj = new Object();
parentObj.childObj = new Object();
How do i reference the parentObj from within the childObj? Writing
Code:
parentObj.childObj._parent
doesn't work.

I'm trying to access a particular movie clip that's buried about 4 layers deep inside other movie clips. I have a an on release event handler attached to it but it doesn't respond. I double-checked my syntax and there are no errors. Is there a nesting limit when it comes to mc addressing?
View 7 RepliesI currently have a .swf file that is nested into another .swf file. In the parent SWF file I use a UILoader to load the other .swf file. uiLoader.source = "data/child.swf";- In the child SWF file I have stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPressedDown); and when I run it on it's own, it works perfectly; but when I run child.swf through parent.swf stage.addEvent... give me a null reference exception. Is the stage part of what is causing the issue?, and if so, is there a way to fix this?

I am trying to create some flash banner (looping animation). I have 1 stage timeline (100 frames) and several movieclips. I need to play 1 movieclip from frame 1 to frame 50. How can I do this?
It plays again and again. If I add AS stop(); in the frame 50 of this mc (inside mc timeline), then this mc plays just once. When all movie is looping from the frame 1, this mc does not play.
I seem to be having trouble when I am nesting 3 arrays,
var A_one:Array= [];
var A_two:Array= [];
var A_three:Array= [];
I then create a number of points and put them into array three, I do that with different groups of those groups of point and load a bunch of array threes into array twos and then I have 5 array twos and put them into array one, when I try to load a specific array three I create a variable array and do as such:
current_A_three=A_one[2[tracker.trackNum]];
tracker.tracknum is a number based on which btn I am pressing
But when I trace the value of the current_A_three array I get the error
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 1 not found on Number and there is no default value.
at Function/<anonymous>()
That is when I click btn one, if I clicked btn two I would get property 2, I tried playing aroudn with it, I did trace A_one[2] and did get the proper multiple arrays, but I need a spesific one.
Just created a preloader using one of the tuts here. Worked great in my main timeline however, upon nesting it in a movie clip... it seems to be broken. I put the same preloader in the 1st 2 frames of my movie clip which is located in the first frame of my main timeline.
Here's the code I'm using:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
Why wont it work nested in a MC??
is there a cleaner way to attach movie clips than this type of syntax?
_root.attachMovie ("Frame", "frame", 60);
frame._x = 375;
frame._y = 375;

I need to get a pointer to a piece of XML. I can get a pointer to the parent node and everything works but trying to get a pointer to a node that has no children just returns the value of that node.[code]...
Tracing subNode would be just the value and there is no pointer to the original xml object, so editing the subNode var would only change its value, not the one in the original XML object.
How do I get a pointer to the subNode so it can be edited to change the original xml object?
I have a slideshow (graphicsshow_mc) within a navigation menu (graphicsmenu_mc) - a movieclip nested in a movieclip. There are previous / next buttons inside the slideshow that work correctly.
Example: prev_btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navBack02);function navBack02(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("deinonychus")}
The navigation menu acts like chapters for a DVD, and I want one button to always go to the beginning. I copied the other code, but need it modified to reflect that it appears in the parent.

First off I am creating an online gallery. It is made up from several thumbnail images of the art pieces which, when clicked, show the image in a larger format. I achieved this by duplicating the frame 12 times (how many images there are on the page) and linking each thumbnail to its corresponding image which runs through the frames 1-12.I had this working perfectly, except for my thumbnail mouseover animation which animated fine when the mouse was in the hit area, but once outside the animation just snapped back. This was done by simply nesting a movie clip symbol into the Over state of the button (which didnt require any code).
However, once I searched the internet for ways to allow the animation to go back to its non-active state with a rewind animation once the mouse is off the hit area, I hit a new problem entirely. Of course, this effect required some basic coding, and wasn't relying on the button's Over state to activate the animation. This meant that when I tried to nest the new animation into the button the hit area of the animation was over the hit area of the button, disabling its linking capability. I've tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get the animation to be triggered when the user hovers over the button as well as the button being able to link to its frame.
I having trouble nesting classes then calling them on the main stage.I have one AS file that contains all the functionality to create a simple button with a text field that can be customized from the FLA file. I want to use this AS file to create another AS file for a form.I have called the simple button from the AS file into my other AS using import RoundRectButton.
View 2 RepliesThe swfs I want to load are picflash1,2,3... etc .swf in a folder "movies". I am not using an absolute path as I am just testing things out, before they go up.I have followed the 'Infinite Menu' tutorial by Pom and have no problem with the code for the movement of the menu as a mc. BUT I cannot get the buttons to work. The only script I can use to get a button to load a mc at all is:
on (release) {
_root.loadMovie("movies/picflash1.swf");
}
This doesn't of course load the mc into a new level in the same mc or at _x, 150 and _y, 150. Which is what I want! So I am using this:
on (release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("area",1);
loadMovie("movies/Picflash1.swf", "area");
setProperty("area", _x, 150);
[code]....
...and now it doesn't work! The button does work if it is not nested in the mc I need for the script to be used for the infinite menu.
I have multiple movie clips nesting inside each other as I need them to perform different functions. On my main timeline I have a mc called "menu_mc", inside of that I have "menubg_mc" and inside of that I have "drop_mc". I have some code on the "menu_mc" timeline, a tween class to make the menu slide out from the left of the stage. Inside the "drop_mc" timeline I have some tween class code which reveals the drop down menu. Now the slide out menu works fine but because the "drop_mc" is 2 levels deep, it won't play the drop down tween. I know that I need to target this movie clip but my question to you is.. Where do I place the code for "drop_mc" (tween) as obviously it doesn't work being nestled 2 levels deep. I have the following code in the main timeline

View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash but have used Illustrator and InDesign for years. How to set the reference object by which all other objects are aligned; e.g. Illustrator ->select all objects then a second click on the reference object and all other objects take their cue. InDesign you lock the reference object and that determines the rest. In Flash it seems that either both objects move or the one that I wish to remain in position jumps rather than the other way around.

I am modifying some Flex code written by someone else. There is an mx:text control that I want to change the 'text' property of.
