ActionScript 2.0 :: Target MovieClip Inside External SWF

Mar 29, 2011

I've a main movie with a container movieclip to load an external swf file. That's working fine but I want to control the movieclips of externally loaded movie. I tried the below method but not work out.
Script on the main movie
_root.holder.loadMovie ("1.swf", mytarget); // This is working fine
_root.holder.mytarget.<movieclipname of the externally loaded movie>.onRelease= function (){
// Do something.
}
But the above script not worked out.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Path Or Target Frame Inside Of MovieClip?

Mar 8, 2009

I'm trying to reference a specific frame inside a MC in my .swf file from an .as file. What I want is to capture the current frame of the movie clip for the .as file. It's for the purpose of points when you shoot each plane. It's an easy trick of frame 1's plane would be worth 100 points, frame 2's plane 200 points, etc. I thought I'd write a line like this in my collision detection section of my .as file.

Code:
planePoints = currentFrame * 100;

The only problem is, of course, it grabs the current frame of the main .swf timeline that my flash file uses, and not the movieclip that's being called to produce the planes. So I thought I'd be able to specify a path to the movie clip (in this case it's called Airplane in the MC's linkage properties).

Code:
planePoints = Airplane.currentFrame * 100;
Then, of course, it freaks out and says that 'access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.'

I still get confused with AS3 and the way items are handled vs AS2. I've lost track of how many times I type _root. Am I getting something basic mucked up here or should I be importing something in the package to get it to recognize the class?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External SWF Inside Of MovieClip

Feb 22, 2012

I'm trying to load an external swf inside of my movie clip.
meter.loadMovie("external.swf");
I managed to get the above to work but as soon as I press a button in the external movie it reacts with my main movie! So a button in the external movie that makes the timeline go to frame 2 makes the main flash file to goto frame 2. Also, can you load external swf files that use external folders for content? Basically I have an interactive diabetes meter and it's all controlled via scripting ( I didn't create it ) but it has the main swf file which you load. However it references other folders and scripting files.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Library Assets Of An External Swf Inside A Movieclip?

Dec 13, 2010

I have a swf called "myfile.swf" with a mp3 set to export for actionscript, and the Class has been called "soundName"With the following code, the sound plays great...

Actionscript Code:
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myfile.swf");var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);swfLoader.load(bgURL);function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void {  var tmpSound:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("soundName") as Class;  var snd:Sound  = new tmpSound() as Sound;  snd.play();}

This lets the sound play great. But, because of what I'm trying to do, i would like it better to put the swf into a movieclip, then play the sound from there.

But i cannot seem to get it to work. The following code adds the movieclip to the stage fine, but then i have no way of accessing the library assets (i.e the "soundName" mp3) from the swf inside of the movieclip.

Actionscript Code:
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myfile.swf");var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);swfLoader.load(bgURL);function

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swf Files With Buttons From Inside A Movieclip?

Mar 3, 2010

In my main .swf I have labels on the timeline, navs for those btns are on the first frame of the AS layer and each button sends the playhead to a different frame. On one frame called fr1 there is an mc called mc_1 that appears on stage when the playhead stops there. Inside mc_1 are a set of navigation buttons that need to call external .swfs.
 
Do I add event listeners on the last frame of mc_1 for each button? how do I call the loaders for the swfs on the buttons since the swfs will load on the main timeline NOT the mc_1 timeline?
 
So label on main timeline called fr1 will load external1 swf , on fr10 external 2.swf will load and so on.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Target A MC Inside AddChild()

Feb 11, 2011

I haven't found my answer with a search of the forum, sorry if this is a redundant question. I am having problems with targeting a MovieClip that is inside another Movie Clip that is placed on stage from the Library using the addChild(); method. This is my code for creating the MC instance on stage:

var pMenuSlide:plusMenuSlide = new plusMenuSlide();

Now, inside of pMenuSlide there is a MC called cloze, how do I target this MC? This does not work: var pMenuCloze:MovieClip = Object(root).pMenuSlide.cloze

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag And Drop Everything Inside The Target?

I'm migrating from as2 to as3 and have a problem. I have a movieclip called papel_ilus which has loaded images inside with text and stuff.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Tell Target For External Swf?

Sep 25, 2004

Ok. I have a main flash movie (to be the base site actually) that loads 4 preliminary swf's.One of them is the top nav bar. Basically there are small squares on the main flash movie where the movies should load. They replace the squares and load perfectly. What i want to do though is when i press a button in a movie in one square, on release, it tells another square on the main flash to load it's movie.P.S. I did not attach the actual flash files becuase, for one they are too big, also there are way too many layers and stuff for anyone to be able to back track through my sloppy work. I did however attach the swf's and a jpeg outline of the square loaders im talking about

ActionScript 3.0 :: Target A Movieclip Within A Movieclip?

Jul 30, 2010

Its day 3 of learning AS3 for me. I cant seem to target a movieclip within a movieclip. I code with all my actions on the first frame of the root timeline and would like to continue this practice. But when I target the clip from the root my function wont run.

Here is my example:

Code:
wheel_mc.spinBackward_mc.buttonMode = true;
wheel_mc.spinForward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spinForward);
function spinForward(event:MouseEvent):void {

[code]....

Basically it wont gotoAndPlay("fadeIn") and I'm not sure why. So my question so I can move on in my AS3 learning is how to I target a movieclip with another movieclip, or is there another more proper way to do what I'm trying to achieve.
