ActionScript 2.0 :: _parent, _root Or Something Else?
Jun 14, 2007
I used the tutorial on Kirupa on loading external swf's. Before writing here I tried to find an answer in the forums, but no luck so here I go.[URL]..If you look at my files: Open portfolio.swf and hit one of the first two images (that initially flies in). here you will see that if you hit the second one, the rpesent one displayed makes an outro and the second one makes an intro, PERFECT!
Now, if you open default.swf (that has portfolio.swf loaded into a movie clip as you can see by looking at the source) and if you hit the second image, the first one makes the outro, and then makes an intro. So the shift to the second one is not happenening. Please, can someone help me to make this happen?

I have several SWFs that I need to work when loaded into another container SWF file as well as work when they are stand-alone SWF files. Because of this, in circumstances where a movieClip is being talked to from another MovieClip I am using _parent as opposed to _root. It has been working fine until now. I have one circumstance that only works with _root and will not work with _parent. _root.content_mc.anim_mc.screenShots_mc.gotoAndSto p(2); Obvously this works fine as a stand alone but not of course once loaded into the container movie.

I just recently began migrating from AS2 to AS3, and I have of course realized that I can no longer move the "_root" by changing the _x and _y positions of the _root (which no longer exists in AS3). How can I do this in AS3 (specifying _x, _y, _z possibly of the "_root")?

I would like to make a game for christmas. How can i use _parent 2 times? i mean, i have a kinda complicated MovieClip, it's movieclip in movieclip, i think 4, and i want to a script do nextframe to the second parent folder.
Code:
ROOT->Movieclip->2nd Movieclip->3rd Movieclip->4th movieclip.
The 4th movieclip when gets to a keyframe, it activates a script, to do nextFrame() in 2nd movieclip. I tried _parent._parent.nextFrame() and also _parent(2).nextFrame() but they didnt work.
I wanna know how can i jump up 2?

I have a movie clip that has the following code:
on (release) {
_root.rightMenu_mc.gotoAndStop("Animation");
}
It works fine the way it is but I read that it is better to use relatives paths rather than _root all the time but when I change it to _parent.rightMenu_mc.gotoAndStop("Animation"); it doesn't work anymore.

I am trying to something like the following:
createEmptyMovieClip("iconLoad"+ i, .i+100);
["iconLoad" + i].iconName = IconArray[i];
loadMovie("pIcon.swf",["iconLoad" + i]);
In the movie pIcon.swf there is a local variable iconName. I am trying to set this variable from the above code (2nd line).

I have a _parent movieclip that receives mouse events and I want the clips inside the _parent clip (child clips) to receive mouse events also, but because of the _parent's mouse event handlers, the child clips are "interfered" with, or not received....how do I make it so both the _parent and the child clips can receive mouse events?

I an trying to get the _root node of an FLA via JSFL. A co-worker wrote a script that uses _root via actionscript. I was trying to wrap that code into a panel. I have all the trace functionality running and everything running accept I can't seem to access the "_root". I have tried _level0, and almost everything I can think of... I am looking to have JSFL return the _root object from the current file the same way can can hand "_root" to a function. (IE: myfunction( _root ); ) here is my current attempt:
Code:
var doc = MMExecute( "fl.getDocumentDOM()._root;" );

I have an external swf, that is a photo gallery, loading into my main swf. When the external swf loads, everything works fine except when you click on a thumbnail in the external swf, the jpg doesn't load. I have it set up that an empty movie clip is created first, then the jpg is loaded into that. I have a feeling it is something with the fact that I am using _root, but I don't have any guesses whats causing the issue and how to fix it.
Code:
News.onRelease = function(){
if( !this.up ){

Edit - managed to find an answer to this by using _parent instead of _root
I've got a swf loader that loads a swf obviously but in the swf that's being loaded I have a button inside of a movie clip which I use...
Code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("page1");
}
When viewing the swf file on its own this works perfectly, however when it gets loaded into the first file it no longer works because the root has now changed to that first file.

difference between _root and _global when dealing with variables or point me in the direction of a good explaniation on the web? I feel like there is something basic I am missing. For example the other day I was working on making some scenarios. In a nut shell I was setting up dynamic text boxes where the text would changed based on what the student selected (via buttons).
When the varible was changed (by clicking the button) the text wouldn't refresh when it was a _global, but would refresh when it was _root. Everything is working fine but I've been trying to understand the "why" it works this way.

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 50;[code]....
I need to know how can I trace the _alpha value of the mc and when the value is 0 a movie clip is loading in the same mc.
