I'm trying to attach a movie clip to the main stage using:
[AS]
this.attachMovie("movieObj", mc1, 1);
[/AS]
However, it ain't showing up. Trace said the movieclip of that name is undefined, despite having the correct linkage and instance name. Anyone know why a movieclip might be MIA?
how to attach a movie clip to the stage or root. I have created a movie clip called movClip and have checked export for actionscript and have chosen "movClip" as its class.I have used this script:
ActionScript Code:
function button1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var mc1:movClip=new movClip();
mc1.x=0;
[code]....
This attaches the movie clip. Great! Problem is it doesn't attach the movie to the root or stage, but rather as a child of this function?? weird! so when I want to use removeChild(mc1) from a different function from a different button or even from an action set on a different timeline it can't target mc1?So how do I make this work. Basically I want one function from button 1 to attach the movie clip and I want a second function from a second button to remove the movie clip.
ok so heres the problem: i have some buttons that are suppose to attach a movie clip on stage after you press it. This works perfectly, but after i mask it, the masking box blocks it so i can't click on anything.
i hope you understood what i'm saying, and i've tried using the 'setmask' code, but that doesn't work either.
I am trying to attach a movie clip at a specific location on the stage using the following code:attachMovie("plane_mc", "mc", 1, {x:50} );The statement above does attach my MC called plane_mc onto the stage but it won't attach it at the location where I want it to. The x parameter doesn't seem to have any effect whatsovever on the stage location.

I'm using Flash 8 and I'm having an issue getting back to the main stage once a movie clip has played. I have my file set up with three movie clips on the main stage.

When you rollover to view panel1 it plays fine, but inside I have another button to take you to panel 2. That wont work...this is what I have for code for the button inside the clip:

I have a movie clip that is a navigation window and I am trying to have some tooltip hover over the buttons inside the navigation window.
If I create a button on the main stage it hovers and works fine but if I create the same clip inside the embedded navigation window the tooltip does not show up. I do not have any error messages but it is not there that I can see.
I'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :
Code: Select alltrace(MovieClip(root)[screenMode]);
But this doesn't work too.
Is there any way to check the currentframe or totalframes of a movie loaded into a 'holder clip' on the main stage? Everything i try just comes back with 1 frame despite there being more than that?

View 2 RepliesI have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.

I want to load an external swf and dynamically attach the mc's in the loaded swf to the main movie. Is it possible to reference the linkage properties of the externally loaded swf in this way?
View 1 RepliesI've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

View 1 Repliesi am trying to create a basic game and am having a problem. I'm using swfmill and mtasc (but I doubt that has much impact) and am using ActionScript 2. At the moment I am attempting to add a load of tiles to a set and then move that set of tiles about the screen in one go. The problem I am having is that I can not figure out the best way of linking the set (which is created on the fly) to the _root movie and so it doesn't draw.
I could potentially be doing everything wrong as I have only just started to learn how to use this language. This is basically what I do:
I create a 'Main' class that extends MovieClip and add a new clip of this class to the library.
I also create a 'TileSet' class that also extends MovieClip. This class calls attachMovie (on 'this') to add a number of tile MovieClips from the library to this TileSet.
I create a 'TileSet' within 'Main' (like var myTileSet:TileSet=new TileSet();), so that the Main class can play with the tileset.
When running I see nothing. As I said befor I believe this is due to TileSet not being attached to Main or _root. As a test I changed the TileSet's attachMovie (that attaches the tiles) to be called on '_root' rather than 'this'. This change makes the tiles show when run, but means that I can not move all the tiles by simply moving the TileSet.
I think I could probably add the TileSet into the library and 'place' it (swfmill method to put the clip into the stage), but I would prefer to do it on the fly in pure ActionScript as I think this will be useful later on too.
