ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting MovieClips As Vars From Main Frame?
Nov 4, 2011
I have the MovieClip named dessin, which loads another MovieClip named dessin (dessin.dessin). Now, there is a MovieClip named displayPlane, in the new MovieClip (dessin.dessin), in the MovieClip named displayPlane, there is a variable, which goes as follows:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc3 = displayPlane.attachMovie("displayNode", "displayNode_" + projectCount, projectCount);
inside that clip, there are multiple MovieClips in vars, I am trying to specifically target one var, the following:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc8 = this.attachMovie("closeBtn", "closeBtn", 5);
I have tried this code to target that specific MovieClip with no success.
Actionscript Code:
_root.dessin.dessin._loc3._loc8

I have this project that will basically work like a slideshow. I am trying to do things the right way and avoid scenes so I am building each slide as a separate mc and then placing them on the main timeline. What I'm trying to do is get the playback head to advance to the next frame on the main timeline once the mc reaches its last frame. I have found code that works but it seems pretty ghetto:
var _root:MovieClip = MovieClip(root)
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, text2);function text2 (myevent:Event):void { _root.gotoAndStop("slide2");}
I guess I have two basic questions:
1. What is the proper way to target a frame on the main timeline from within a mc in as3?

on MC2's timeline I want to target objects on the main stage. Not sure on how to write that without using root. I've been trying deviations of
MovieClip(parent).MovieClip(parent).mcName.

I'm working on this project, where i attach movies to an empty movieclip. In these attached movies, i have a button that needs to target a function on the main timeline. Example:
on the main timeline, i have an action that loads a bitmap onto the background: loadBitmapSmoothed("background.jpg",bg_con); On the main timeline, i also have a button with following action:
on(release){
this.mc_holder.attachMovie("MC_products",1);
}
Then, in the attached movieclip i have a button that needs to swap the image previously loaded into the 'bg_con'-movieclip, like thus:
on(release){
_root.loadBitmapSmoothed("product_1.jpg",bg_con);
}
For some reason, this doesn't work. I've also tried using _level0. but nothing happens.

I am still sorting out how things translate to AS3 so here it goes:
In the land of AS2:
Say you for looped 5 times and placed movieclips on the stage (attachMovieClip) each one having an mc inside called box_mc. You named them in the loop mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4, mc_5.Then later you wanted to rotate that box in them you could for loop again and target/rotate the box with a line like this:
this["mc_"+i].box_mc.rotation +=5;
Now in the land of AS3:I place 5 movieclips using addChild and the way I later target the box_mc inside them is to use two lines something like this:
[code]...
I know this method works, but is this the most efficient/correct way of doing this? I tried to get to the box_mc level when assigning the targetMc var, but never found a way that didn't error.Compounding question, how do you make an old line of AS2 work in the AS3 world like this:
this["mc_"+i]["child_mc_"+j].box_mc.rotation +=5;

On my stage, I have a bunch of movieclips with sequential instance names ("toggle1", "toggle2", etc.). I also have another bunch of movieclips, each with their own sequential instance name ("name1", "name2", etc.).How can I set it so that when I click on a "toggle" movieclip, a specified property changes on the "name" movieclip with the same number.Here's what I have so far.
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i <= 16; i++) {[code]....

Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I have a movieclip added to the stage through a function.
ActionScript Code:
function myFunctionOne():void{
var myClipA:clipA = new clipA();
myClipA.name = "myClipA";
addChild(myClipA);
}
To access this item on the stage I have to use:
ActionScript Code:
getChildByName("myClipA");
I have some other movieclips INSIDE this clip that have also been dynamically added. If I want to reference one of those clips I have to reference them by name using getChildByName.
[Code].....
But is there a better way to reference movieclips if they are created inside a function, or is there a way to create them so they are always globally accessible?

Im creating movieclips based on the items in an xml file. It pulls the data in ok, and loads in an image from the given description, and poisitions the clips ok.
Where i'm falling down its assigning button functions to these clips. I can not reference the clips indivually it always refers to the last clip created.

how, to apply a property of a var to multiple vars at once. I'm making a point-n-click game where i want to apply the buttonMode property to multiple variables (of MovieClips).
I don't know if this is even possible or how simple or advanced this is, but it would be damn handy.
I have searched on Google and this site for a possible answer, with different search terms/keywords, but can't find anything close. I also tried different things with an asterisk such as *.buttonMode = true and movieClip.*.buttonMode = true but no success.

If I have a movieclip on the main timeline, and a button in that movie clip. How would I go about getting it to advance the main timeline to its next frame? I understand that in AS3 movie clips are not connected to the timeline in the same way as they are in AS2 but I dont understand why the following works, or if there is a better way?
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent) {
MovieClip(this.root).nextFrame();
}

I received an AS file from an outside source and I want to understand the what MovieClip(root) is doing? I know there is a movieClip on the stage called "field" and with in it a dynamic text field called "txt" and that this text field is being tied into a css class. But I don't quite get the MovieClip(root) part.Is this just a way of saying that the text field you are targeting is on the main time line? [code]

I made a site, but the menu isn't loading properly. If you reload the page the menu loads, but not sure why not loading every time.
Right now menu and site sections in main SWF file. Maybe I put the menu into a separate SWF file it would load properly?
If the site sections are in the main SWF timeline, then how do I do the actionscript for the menu buttons?
Ie)
menu in level7
main site in level0
site sections are "product section", "about us section", "glossary section" on main timeline
So I'm not loading any SWFs, just moving between sections on main timeline.

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.
Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.
The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();
holder.name = "testname";
this.addChild(holder);

i have a loader.swf contains important functions and variables that loads 10 external swf-s (site compontents) in a container MC, those external swf-s also have some important functions and variables.my problem is that i don't know how to access the variables and functions declared in the main swf ( loader.swf ) from the loaded swf-s.so the hierarchy looks like:
Code: Select all
main swf ( loader.swf )
childAt(0) ( container MC )[code].........
1. ( for example ) : how can I access/refer the functions and variables declared in the "main swf" ( loader.swf ) from the "2. loaded swf" ?
2. how can i access/refer the functions and variables declared in the "2. loaded swf" from the "1. loaded swf" ?

I am curious if it is possible without using some other kind of language to target a movie that is located in the same html file, but in a different frame?
Basically lets say my one swf files is a navigation bar. I then have other frames in the html file and when i click a button i want it to goto a frame in a different swf file which is in a different frame. Do i have to do a getUrl call? or is it different because is it an swf file?

I have 2 swfs. One called "loves.swf" that contains 4 buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, it opens up an with an external swf, called "about_loves.swf". I would like to make each button go to a different frame labeled in my external swf. Currently, when you click on any button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4), they just play frame 1 from the external swf, "about_loves.swf".I would like btn2 to play frame 2 of "about_loves.swf", btn3 to play frame 3 of "about_loves.swf" and btn4 to play frame 4 of "about_loves.swf".here is my code so far:
// these two lines are needed only once, so here they are:
import local.display.ShadowBox;
ShadowBox.initialize(stage);

I always face this problem when coding with flash, and still not able to get a solution for this problem....
if the nested mc is in the 1st frame then I can use: Level1_mc.Level2_mc.Level23_mc.gotoAndStop("2");
If refering nested btn I will use: MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("2");
so my question is, how about refering an mc from main timeline into nested mc but different frame( frame 4,5 or 6....)?

On my main timeline, I have a movieclip called "mainpage". Within "mainpage", I have a button that when clicked upon, needs to go back to the main timeline, into another movieclip, and to a specific frame in that movieclip. The code I've been using for all my other buttons is this:
Code: Select allfunction goAdler (e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndStop("adler");
}
adler_proj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goAdler);
In that particular case, the button is going up to the parent movieclip of it's parent to a specific frame label.The problem I'm having is that I need for this button within "mainpage", rapp_proj_btn, to go to the main timeline, go into a movieclip a few frames down called "portfolio_content" (on a frame labelled "Portfolio"), and to a frame labelled "rapp". No matter what I've tried, I can't seem to target the "portfolio_content" movieclip, even though I've put the instance name on it and everything. I can, using the code below, get the rapp_proj_btn to go to "Portfolio", but I can't get inside that "portfolio_content" movieclip that sits on that frame.
This is the code I use to get to the proper frame:
Code: Select allfunction goRapp (e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("Portfolio");
}
rapp_proj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRapp);
I tend to get an error describing not being able to get to an undefined property called "portfolio_content", and to be honest, in AS3, I'm not exactly sure how to go about fixing that error. I've tried calling the "portfolio_content" instance name in the code (right before gotoAndStop), but it doesn't recognize the movieclip.

I have a two frame page - the left frame is a custom flash Tree object that parses a number of IMS-compliant manifests (basically an XML tree menu structure) and the right frame displays the href of the tree object that is clicked. If i run this from a server, it works fine and displays all links in the right frame. But if I run it from a local or network drive it opens all links in _blank.
Adobe have a technote on the new allowScriptAccess and getURL in FP9 [URL] but dont mention anything about this issue (that i can locate). I also cannot see how opening all pages in _blank can fix any "security" issues. Can anyone confirm that targeting html frames locally via getURL under FP9 is now not possible or has been changed? or is this a bug (sorry - undocumented feature)?
