so, i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this:
Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0"
i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
i don't know why this isn't working.i got a button. and when it's pressed, i need it to go and play a frame in a movie clip. i'll test it and then when i click on it, i get this:
Target not found: Target="whoweare" Base="_level0.instance20.instance48.instance49"
this is the code that i am using:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("whoweare") {
gotoAndPlay (51);
}
}
I did the following tutorial [URL]Which is exactly what I want to do for my web site and I'm getting the following error Target not found: Target="_root.reverse" Base="_level0.Menu1.instance7"The menu drops but won't reverse
View 1 Repliesive loaded a movie into another and postitioned it..
_root.abc._x="400";
_root.abc._y="200";
_root.abc.loadMovie("trig_sub.swf");
but once it is loaded where ever i have used _root in the loaded movie (trig_sub.swf) it nolonger works eg..
on a button i have
on(rollOver){
_root.menu.stop();
}[/AS]
bnut this dosent work when it has been loaded into instance "abc" in the main movie...wat do i have to use instead of root to point at an instance?
I want to loadMovie in the target _root.as. And the url is dynamic: _root.as.loadMovie(_root.link) Unfortunately the movie isn't loaded I tried to convert _root.link to string but nothing
View 13 RepliesJust wondering how this is done within an "if then" statement. I need a code like
if (_root.frame = "home") then {
this.quickHome.onPress = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("homeToContact");
}
}
I know the first line isn't going to work, but just wondering if someone knew of a code that would?
I'm using this complex rollover button on my site i found here --> [URL] What i'm looking to do is have this effect trigered when a second button is rolled over as well. Is there a way to target this movie clip effect from the _root timeline? I was able to achieve this halfway by using labels but I am not able to reverse the animation on roll out with this method.
View 2 RepliesI must say that learning by "trial and error" gives one an opportunity to see quite a lot of inventive error messages Here's my latest nut - needing a crack:In my animation I have a button utilizing the tellTarget command to activate another movieclip (which contains an effect for the button).The button and the "effect movieclip" (each on their own layer) are inside a movieclip called MC_mm_buttons which again is inside the main .swfWhen I test my .swf the output window gives me this error message:Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"Trying to solve this problem, I isolated the button and its effect movieclip simply by making them again, from scratch, in a new document.. everything works fine, so I've got the tellTarget command and the interaction between the button and its movieclip nailed down.
Now, I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with me needing to specify that the effect movieclip (in my real .swf) is inside another movie clip and on a different layer.. still, I don't have a clue how I'm supposed to tell flash that in my script...So, to sum it all up:My button and movieclip are in the same movieclip but each on a layer of their own, the movieclip has an instance name of "test" and the button has a script like this:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("in")
[code].....
On the attached exercise, is it possible to stop further items being dragged onto a target when the target box is full?
View 1 RepliesIn my animation I have a button utilizing the tellTarget command to activate another movieclip (which contains an effect for the button). The button and the "effect movieclip" (each on their own layer) are inside a movieclip called MC_mm_buttons which again is inside the main .swf

I have a MC with sounds that works ok alone but when i load it from another MC, the sounds dont work anymore..I create the sounds this way:
someSound = new Sound();
someSound.attachSound("mysound");
and start the sound that way: someSound.start(0,1); i've tried to define the sounds on _root and _level0 but still no go...
What is the difference between target and currenttarget in flex?What is the difference between Target and Current Target in Flex especially in mouse events.
View 2 Repliesqi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I've got a button in a movieclip that, when pressed, I want to control the timeline of another movieclip (instance name: video).
I enter the following code on the button and it does nothing:
on(release) {
video.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Now I suppose the path is wrong but, when I click on the "Insert Target Path" icon in the actions panel, the only thing that shows up in the window is "_root". It doesn't matter which movie clip I am in, when I click the "Insert Target Path" icon, all that shows up is "_root".
There is a heck of alot more to my movie than that, where are all the movieclips? The "video" instance is nested 3 movieclips deep. I've tried entering the path manually too, but it don't work.
So I'm trying to get cute again by building stacks of buttons dynamically, then labeling them from an external text file. The code I have so far is as follows:
[Code]...
But I keep getting the error message: Target not found: Target="undefined" Base="_level0" I'm not sure what this means.
have a hard time seeing why the code isn't quite working:on frame 4 I have:
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var image:MovieClip = mc.createEmptyMovieClip("image", mc.getNextHighestDepth());
image.loadMovie("gallery1.swf");
[code].....
i have a movie clip with functions which relate to instances of buttons eg.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.home.onRelease = function() {
endX = 0;
endY = 0;
};
}
where home equals the home button and so on for the links buttons and contact button etc.
the problem is the buttons are not found at the _root. they are in a movie clip with an instance name 'menu'. i have tried using this in the onClipEvent function:
_global.menu=this;
_global.menu.home.onRelease = function() {
endX = 0;
endY = 0;
};

View 3 RepliesI am a complete nuff nuff when it comes to AS3 so bare with me. I had a website skeleton made by a scripter. He made lots of AS files that call to each other with a few movie clips that are populated via the As files. This worked fine for me, I could update the text and image files no dramas and did so and got the website up and running.
A couple of weeks later had to update the files to add a new section adn text and images. Again all went swimmingly. Fast forward to today. Went to update the files and added a new section as per all the other ones. Everything marries up in relation to naming conventions, placement of files within folders et c but suddenly now I'm getting all these errors. 1017: The definition of base class TextItemTemplate was not found.
already searched for this kind of thread here but didn't get any answer that suited me.
It comes like this, I made this class (LoadWebPage)to basically remove the old Swf and load a new one. I've associated this class to my menu Btn's.

And I'm getting that 1203 error saying that my class doesn't have a default constructor.
I've been trying to edit my sister's Flash website, which was developed by someone else, but I'm a newbie with ActionScript so am having a few difficulties. Every time I try to publish a file, I get this error:

I found documentation online for a similar error - regarding UIComponent - so I tried creating a new source path under ActionScript 3.0 as suggested but no luck. I'm having difficulty finding documentation online specifically for UIForm.I tried searching for the location of UIForm under program files but couldn't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm on CS4.

Through attachMovie I have loaded an mc from the library onto the stage into "holder_mc".
myButton.onRelease = function () {
if (currentWork != "holder_mc.myWork1_mc") {
holder_mc.attachMovie("myWork_mc","myWork1_mc", getNextHighestDepth());
currentWork = "holder_mc.myWork1_mc";
}
}
This works.
However, there are a couple of buttons (mc) inside "myWork1_mc" which skips through a few slides in the myWork1_mc clip that I cannot target. I thought using:
holder_mc.myWork1_mc.buttonName_mc.onRelease = function () {
trace("MC_pressed");
}
... would work. My curser doesn't even change to the hand symbol. How do I target an dymanically loaded MC from the library which is inside an empty holder MC on the stage via attachMovie? What am i missing? Believe me, I have spent hours trying to google it.
Note: at this stage there is no other script on "holder_mc", but there will be at a later date, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Also, the buttons work when I place the MC onto the stage and not use attachMovie.
I have a simple button that goes to a URL when clicked, but it's opening a new window. I want it to target "_self"-- but I'm getting errors. How do I properly target the same window?
[Code]..
Seems like AS3 is more about writing code than AS2.I would normally write the code on the button:
Code:
on(release){
getURL("http://sample.com". "_blank");
}
Instead in AS3 I have to do this for a button action:
Code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.sample.com");
navigateToURL(request);
}
How do I add the _blank target function to this AS3 code. I am still trying to get use to this AS3 concept.
I used to use an old school method in AS2 to talk to a movieclip to go to different states like on rollover but how do I do this in AS3 now?
Code:
on (rollOver) {
with (myclip) {
gotoAndStop("on");
}
}
I know that with went out a long time ago but it worked!I know in AS3 to handle a click you have to do this:
Code:
mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
what I want to do with targeting a rollover with a button.
