ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing A Movieclip Within An Attached Movieclip?
Nov 29, 2006
I am trying to reference a movieclip within a movieclip that I am loading using "attachmovie". In the first frame of the root, I am attaching the movie. Then, from the attached movie I am calling a function that is also in the first frame of the root. In the function I am tring to set the property of a clip within the attached movie to visible using the following code:
_root.logIn.loginMessage._visible = true;
I have also tried _root["logIn"].loginMessage._visible = true; with no luck.
(logIn is the name of the clip I am attaching using attachMovie and loginMessage is the clip I am trying to reference in the attached movie)
This is how I'm loading it and I know that part is working: _root.attachMovie("login_mc","logIn",getNextHighes tDepth());

The following is the chunk of my code that is attaching a movieclip (from timeline), tracing thisDot works so it is not the variable which is a problem but there is no rollover applied to the attached movieclip.
var dot_name:String = new String(Graphs[s]._name+"_dot"+i);
var dotObj:Object = new Object();
if (prevX != undefined) {
dotObj._x = newX;

I have short script (onClipEvent (enterFrame) {some code here}) that works well on movieClip that is on Stage. I've added the script to 'actions - movie clip' -window). But my problem is that movieclip should be attached dynamically usign actionscript, so I cannot add the script to the clip, as I used to.

I'm having issues trying to reference a movieClip after attaching it. What I have is:
Code:
btn_instructions.onRelease = function() {
instructions = true;
attachMovie("parchment", "mc_parchment", getNextHighestDepth(), { _x:280, _y:280 });
} mc_parchment.btn_close.onRelease = function() {
instructions = false;
trace("close");
removeMovieClip(mc_parchment);
}
The first is creating it on top of the other items that are created during the game. I can't have the instructions on the timeline and just change the visibility of it due to all the assets this game is making. The instructions variable is used in an if statement elsewhere in the game to lock the user controls so they can't create anything else in the game while your viewing the instructions. The second function is the one that should close it. The movie clip that's attached has a button in it, with the instance name btn_close. The trace doesn't even pop up so it's not targeting it correctly. Yet when I go to 'debug' and 'list objects' both mc_parchment and mc_parchment.btn_close are listed as being in the scene after clicking the instructions button.

var xBoard:Number = Math.floor(mouseX/cellSize);
var yBoard:Number = Math.floor(mouseY/cellSize);
if (board[(yBoard-1)][xBoard] == 0)
{
root.getChildByName("b"+(yBoard-1)+xBoard).alpha = .7;
}
I want to be able to call various movieclips I have arranged in a grid from these two variables (xBoard and yBoard). They get new values every time I click on my gameboard.
Basically I check if they space ahead of the unit is empty. If it is I want the alpha of that space to change designating you can move there. The movieclips are arranged in a grid and named b00 (top left) to b77(bottom right).
This is the error message:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildByName through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
If I take out the getChildByName... root.("b"+(yBoard-1)+xBoard).alpha = .7;
This is the error message:
TypeError: Error #1123: Filter operator not supported on type Game_fla.MainTimeline.

I was creating a drap and drop simple game, dragging and dropping an item from within a movie clip. All was working fine, but then I had to add more items so I created a ScrollPane and referenced the movie clip through that, now I need to rework how I pull reference that movieclip again. The movieclip is exported so the scrollpane can bring it in...

import flash.geom.Point;

public class shopping extends Sprite {
public function shopping() {
shoppinglist.Ketch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);

I'm trying to set something up that will print a bunch of boxes on a grid in a certain pattern, and set things up so that a path can be determined from the start to the end. Each grid square is a MovieClip with an instance name x0y0, x1y0, etc. for each coordinate of the grid. I want to set a variable in my grid square class to 1 or 0, depending on whether or not a box is in that square. So I have this code:
for(var j=0; j < row1.length; j++)
{
for(var i=0; i <= row1[j]; i++)

Suppose you have a movie clip called MC1 and it is on frame 20 of the stage in layer 3. How should I refer to this MC within actionscript? Can I only refer to this movie clip from frame 20?

Just learning as3. For testing purposes, I duplicated a movieclip 4 times on the stage and gave each mc a different instance name and put them in an array ("line1","line2","line3","line4"). Then I just want one movieclip to move 200 pixels based on the conditions of the array. Here is the code:
var stuff:Array = new Array("line1","line2","line3","line4");
for(var i:int=0;i<stuff.length;i++)
{
if ((stuff[i]) == "line4") {
trace(stuff[i]);
var duke = (stuff[i]);
[duke]y += 200;
}
}
It traces out the correct mc (line4) but ALL the movieclips move 200 pixels instead of the one (line4). Do you know why this is? I have a feeling that [duke]y is not the correct way to reference the movieclip.

I'm trying to make a loader class that will spit back MovieClip data from the Loader. If another class/function requests the same data (Rather, the same file), rather than making a new loader and re-loading it, I was hoping to just have it return the same MovieClip. This all works to some extent, but the problem I'm having is this - Because the new request is adding the MovieClip, it's taking it away from the old one.
I tried making a copy when the request is made, but the image is generally not loaded then, and because the copies aren't updated, most of the images are empty when everything requests it.So basically what I'm hoping you can guide me towards is a sort of... C++ pointer-esque thing, something that could point to the MovieClip data without actually taking it away from everything else. I've messed with AS3 for a while, but can't find anything like that. Or any other method that would let multiple MovieClips reference a single "original" movie clip, reference-style.

I posted this in Kirupa but unfortunately i did not receive any response from the community for 4 days now. I'm thinking perhaps somebody here can answer my long awaited explanation for this bug or phenomenon. I have a shape animation on the timeline from one keyframe to the next (3 keyframes). There is an orange movieclip under that mask with instance name "container". Now if i attempt to attach a movieclip to it at runtime, it will automatically get removed when it reaches the 2nd shape tween keyframe. All my code is in frame 1. Isn't that illogical? I know it works if i place it into a movieclip. I need an explanation to this (if its a bug) and a workaround other than repetitively attaching it from frame to frame.

I have a mc in the library, linkage is "del". Here is the code I use to attach to the movie
Code:
delbt.onPress = function () {
if (typeof(_root.del) == undefined) {
_root.attachMovie ("dele", "del", _root.getNextHighestDepth ());
_root['del']._x = 100;
_root['del']._y = 100;
[Code] .....
This works fine to a point. In the "del" mc I have a button to remove "del" mc if no longer required.
Code:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(_root.del)
}
I discovered that this only remove the content and not the mc that holds it "del". So I tried
Code:
on (release) {
_root.del.removeMovieClip ();
}
But this does nothing.

I'm working with a MovieClip ("mainMenuItem") that is linked to a Class ("GenericMenuItem.as") that uses attachMovie to add another movieclip ("Arrow") to mainMenuItem as follows:mcArrow = this.attachMovie(prefix+"Arrow", "_Arrow_symbol", this.getNextHighestDepth());I'm able to use on(release) within the Class definition to capture clicks on the mainMenuItem component, but haven't been able to find a way to detect a click on the "Arrow" library item that gets attached to that component.

how I would normally generate a dynamic text field,
Code:
this.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....
I would like to target the text field so it is generated inside a movieclip for example something like,
Code:
_root.Mymovieclip.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....

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]...
