My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

If I have 2 movieclips, how can I know through actionscript which one is at a higher level?

is it possible to change the target level of a MovieClip? So I have two instances of the same MovieClip, both on level0.[code]Basically, now btn2 will disappear, and btn1 will remain visible.
View 1 RepliesMy problem is on my stage i have a loader_mc invisible movieclip that i want to load .swfs into using addchild
Problem is, everytime i click on a button that addchild the .swf keeps adding ontop like layers, therefore in my function button i tried to removechild before addchild but i will keep getting error #1009
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I was wondering if anyone can teach me any other better ways how to load movies like in as2, on the same level when the button is clicked, the previous .swf is kicked aside and the new one will load.
I am trying to access the variable myParentVariable within the function myParentFunction() from the MovieClip's myMovieClip_mc function myMovieClipFunction().
I know that It works if I declare the variable myParentVariable outside of the myParentFunction() but I don't really want to do that

I'm trying to access a parent movieClip from the child movieClip
Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.
im trying to create a level select screen so the buttons unlock as you complete a level, so far i have this on each button:
on(release){
if(this.number <= currentItem){
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

When creating some extended MovieClip to the stage using AS on Actions of some frame, on which layer this MovieClip is created? On layer where Actions were? If I wanna move it down, for example, can I simply move the Actions layer? And by the way, one more question, what if I would not create Actions layer and write all the code on some used one?
View 2 RepliesWhen I mouse over a movieclip, I want its alpha level to change. Here's what I have:
ActionScript Code:
object.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverObject);
object.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutObject);
function mouseOverObject(e:MouseEvent){
if(!inventoryOpen){ e.currentTarget.alpha = 100; }
} function mouseOutObject(e:MouseEvent){
if(!inventoryOpen){ e.currentTarget.alpha = 50; }
}
It does work, but the mouseover only registers when the cursor is over certain areas of the movieclip.
on my journey in creating a tile based grid. i came across on the second line and the 3rd argument. ( the depth leve of the movieclip.
++ d now i didnt think this was possible. I would like to know what the d stands for as does not appear in blue. so does not appear to be a inbuilt command. I mean i normally use this.getNexthighest depth.

I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
I have created a new instance of a movieclip and named it in as3.
I want to put this in another movieclip. How does this effect the reference because everything seems fine while the dynamic movieclip is just dealing with the stage. As soon as I put it in a movieclip, I get:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com::Gallery/instancesOut()
Heres part of my code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++){ var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition();
addChild(transition); transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; transition.x = i * 100;
I can reference using the string name but if I put the addchild in a movieclip it errors
Transition_mc.addChild(varTransition);
I am trying to get to a
movieclip nested inside a movieclip in As2:
MovieClip1.movieClip2.movieClip3.gotoAndStop(2)
MovieClip1, MovieClip2, MovieClip3 is instances Names.
I made a script that creates a MovieClip (two stationary Ovals, side by side) from the library and transports them from the left side of the stage to the right.The idea would be to make the RIGHT Oval decrease in size as the MovieClip is traveling while keeping the LEFT Oval the same size. (All of them being part of an Array)I thought to convert the right Oval to a MovieClip within the parent MovieClip, but I have not been able to access the ".width" and ".height" of the nested MovieClip.Not sure whether I'm on the right track or not.
View 5 RepliesI have a game with multiple levels, which is working as I want it to. I would like to add just one extra bit of functionality. As each level starts, I would like a movieclip to play and then disappear after a second or so. The movieclip will just say "level 1", "level 2" etc, without any interaction. Ideally it will appear as the level loads, and then fade out to disappear.
View 2 RepliesI'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.
View 7 Repliesi have game im doing, and i want it to jump to level 2 upon completing the first level, but the problem is, the level 2 is a seperate swf, i've tried to use
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("level2.swf",2)
}
I have called main.swf into a container in index.swf.
myMCL.loadClip("main.swf","container"); is an action on my Index.fla timeline.
I have my navigation on index. (i wanted it to go on main, but the nature of the animation meant it had to go on index)
I need to call "home.swf" into "main.swf" from the navigation button in Index.swf.
When I had the navigation on "main.swf" this was my code to call "home.swf" into the page.
on (release) {
Preloader_mc.gotoAndStop("home");
}
("home") is the label name where the preloader is for home.swf
how to call the preloader for home into main.swf from "INDEX.SWF INSTEAD OF MAIN.SWF"
I have a file1.swf which loads file2.swf into it. Within file2.swf i have a button that when clicked needs to remove file2.swf and load file3.swf into its place.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to build a website but i'm experiencing some troublesI now have 1 movieclip "menu" on my stage wich contains my navigation bar (home, contact, gallery,...) and on the same stage i have a movieclip "middle" wich contains 3 frames 1 for home, contact etc... What i wan't to do now is write my code in the "menu" movieclip and access the 3 frames in my "middle" movieclip, so what i wrote in "menu" was this:
home_mc.buttonMode = true;contact_mc.buttonMode = true;gallery_mc.buttonMode = true;menu_mc.buttonMode = true;

I have a helicopter that i have drawn in the flash ide as a movieclip inside my library and a turret as a seperate movieclip that has been dragged from the library onto my helicopter movieclip.Is there anyway to programattically access that turret movieclip for a seperate instance of the helicopter?

DocumentClass is a class that is also my document class for my fla (hence the name) and I have a movieclip on the stage with the instance name "player" which means that the player "belongs" to DocumentClass.
Without extending DocumentClass to CollisonDetection, how would I be able to access player from the CollisonDeteciton class?
The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;

trying to export a very large image from flash for days now and my latest approach has lead me to AS3. (I usually use AS2). AS2 was causing endless problems with the PHP server timing out (the raw pixel data was over 8MB) but I have the save function working thanks to this great class. The problem is, this function only works on local movieclips.
I have imported my whole AS2 project swf into an AS3 swf at runtime and now I need to find a way to send one of the AS2 movie clips as a parameter to Mark Knol's "save to jpeg" function from the class above. I've tried gSkinner's SWFbridge class but the flash LocalConnection method only seems to allow calls to a remote function, rather than call a local function on a remote movieclip.
I have a button, inside an mc1 which when clicked it plays
[TweenLite.to(mc2, 2, {frame:1});]
inside mc2 -which located back on the stage.
Currently I get the error of "access of undefined property)".
