ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable To Root To Play After Embedded Movie
Jan 5, 2012
I have a movie embedded and I am passing a variable to the root movie for it to play when the embedded movie is complete. I know the variable is getting passed because I am displaying the value in as dynamic text but the parent movie will not play. This is what I have:
stop();
row = 0;
if (row == 1) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Row is being passed from the embedded movie as
_root.row = 1;
I know there is a way to tell the parent movie to play from the embedded movie by using TellTarget but I would like to find out why this doesn't work.

I'm guessing this is pretty simple, I just can't find the solution through my google searches.
Bascially I created a variable and gave it a value in the first frame of my main timeline.
Now I just want to pass that variable into a MovieClip. When I trace the value of the variable within the movieClip I get undefined.
Is there something else I have to do to make it recognize the root timeline's variable?

Just need to figure out how to pass root level variable to a movie clip which contains a dynamic text box to display the passed variable. How is this possible? I usually use global variables when i was coding in AS2...but it appears this feature is dropped in AS3.

I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......

I have a movie clip on my main timeline that I want to send to a certain frame based on a variable that can be set from a nested movie clip, and also set from an external swf that will be loaded into the main timeline.So how would I set that variable? In AS2, I would just go _parent._parent...as many levels up as I needed to, but the AS3 equivalent only seems to work one level up.

Im using loadMovie in a parent movie to load my content movies. I need the content movies to be able to access a variable set in the content movie. I've tried using global variables and can't seem to get anything going.
I've got two layers. The top layer has the header and footer graphic alongs with the scripting for the menu. The bottom layer is where the content movie is loaded into.I'm declaring the _global variable in the top layer, outside of any functions, and trying to access it from the loaded swf in the content (bottom) layer.

I have a big bit of action script that I want to reuse on various frames. Rather than write it out on each frame I want to embed the script within a movie clip and embed that movie clip on each frame that it is required to be used on.
In order to do that I need to pass a different value into the movie clip.
Basically the script creates 20 pages on one frame, 40 pages on another frame and 60 on the last page.
This is the bit of code that needs to have the number fed to it:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = newArray(20);
The number 20 is currently set manually. I ideally want to write this within the movie clip:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = newArray(frameVal);
and on the stage I want to set the variable like this:
Frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 20;
Frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 40;
Frame 3:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 60;
The movie clip that contains my code has an instance name of "testStart"
how do I get it to pass the frameVal into the movie clip?

Movie 3_mc is inside the timeline of 2_mc which is inside the timeline of 1_mc.1_mc has an integer variable called var1.I need to change the value of var1 by a mouse event for which the listener is on the timeline of 3_mc.I know that I can change the value of a variable of the parent movieclip (in this case 2_mc) from an event in 3_mc by using;
ActionScript Code:
MovieClip(parent).var++;

dynamically loaded swf files that employ .root syntax. I'm loading in several older swf files into a master swf. The master has a previewer that lets the user preview the library of swf files. Some of these older swf files have buttons in them that use .root, and I don't want the .root to effect the master swf, but the loaded one.

I can't believe how impossible it has been to find info about this. I'm sort of a beginner with actionscript, but this shouldn't be as hard as I'm finding it to be.
I'm using AS2. I have an ordinary FLV video playing with one of the skins that comes with the Flash software (CS3). That all works perfectly fine. What I need to do, however, is add a large "PLAY" button over top of the movie. I have made that work also. But, I need the button to disappear when the movie starts playing, because it is obviously in the way and making it hard to view the video.
Some forums suggested making that button disappear when it is clicked. That would be fine, except that the video player skin also has a play button, and if someone clicks that button instead of my new large button, I still need the large button to disappear.
So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is something like: if the FLV is playing, make this object (the button) disappear or become invisible. This can't be that difficult!

I have an if like this:
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (_root.go_blue._droptarget == "/g_target")[code]...
This works. I need to add "if (test = "one")", another drop sets this variable and the drop above should test for it. But I can't get the basics right! I'm a programmer who is new to Actionscript. What I want is:
"If the variable is correct AND if it is dropped on the target (g_target) THEN play the movie, ELSE go back to _x=130, _y=300."
The variable is being assigned correctly, I tested it with a Dynamic text box. The movie isn't running with my code!

I am making a website and there is an empty SWF that is the base for my site. It loads up an external page called the Home page, in that home page are movie clips that are told to .play() with a _root command. What i wanted to know, was how do i get those buttons to play those movie clips inside of itself.
MAIN EMPTY SWF __

HOME PAGE SWF (which is loaded into an empty movie clip in MAIN)
|
|__ Fading movie clip (which is inside of HOME PAGE, given a _root.fadewhite.play() by a button inside of HOME PAGE SWF
In short, how do i refer to the movie clip to play that is inside of HOME PAGE SWF which was loaded into an empty movie clip inside of MAIN EMPTY SWF?

Basically, I'm trialling a javascript button that, when clicked, will produce a popup window with the flash player embedded in it. I've had some progress but am having problems passing the url I want...
My javascript reads:
function doublePopup(){
var player = document.FLVClipEditor;
if (player) {
var url = "[URL]";
player.doublePopup(url);
}}
[Code] .....
But when I try to pass a URL through, nothing happens. However, if I put the url in directly (as below), bingo! The pop appears!

I brought a pre-built shopping cart and I'm trying to put some buttons in another MC but when I click them the cart don't update.
The original setup of the cart was:
The 'Add to cart' buttons are on the root and the cart was inside an MC also on the root.
Now I understand that it's not not working due to me moving the buttons into a MC.[code]...
