i've got a movie where i'm attaching a MC and trying to get a variable from the main movie--i can't seem to pick up a variable from the main movie using 'myVar=_root.myVar' or 'myVar=_level0.myVar' inside the MC--any ideas on what i'm missing here?

How can I, in Flash, get the levels of volume (peak levels) of multiple sound frequencys from an audio file, so that flash would recognize them?
What is the maximum number of levels for a flash 8 movie?
View 1 RepliesI want to control elements and movie clips from deep within an another movie clip
for example I have a button inside of a movie clip � So
_root > Symbol 1 > Symbol 2 ( Symbol 2 is the button )
Now I have another MC on the main stage that has an animated MC in it.
So
_root > Symbol 3 > Symbol 4 ( Symbol 4 is the animated item )
So now lets say I want to be able to click ( or rollover ) on the button ( Symbol 2 ) for the animation to go to a specific frame and play
I have this all the time where I am struggling to control stuff deep within from other stuff deep within an MC.
I have a movie clip that allows the user to select certain colors for certain sections of a boat so that they can design their own boat. When the user selects whatever color they want for whatever part of the boats what's happening is they are just loading different movie clips that live on levels 1-6. I can print each level on separate sheets of paper but what I'd like to do is print all of the levels on one sheet of paper.
I was thinking that I could achieve this by duplicating everything I want to print into a MovieClip that lives off the stage and print that but I don't know how I would do this.
I have 5 photos which are separate movies that enlarge and then decrease. I have them arranged in a line, slighty overlapping with movies 1 and 5 underneath then 2 and 4 then 3 on the top level. I would like it so that when you roll over each movie it comes to the top level then when you rollout it goes back to it's original position. I can't seem to get the code right however and they keep going back in the wrong position. Here is the code that I have placed on each invisible button over each movie:
on (rollOver){
laugh.swapDepths(1);
laugh.gotoAndPlay(2);
}on (rollOut){
laugh.swapDepths(0);
laugh.gotoAndPlay(8);
}
.I've downloaded a template, which I'm modifying to get working the way I want. You can see how far I've got by going to URL... My question is regarding the 'About' page, where on the right hand side you'll see a pull down menu, with two images on it. The first (says Myrtletown Films) loads and links correctly - The second doesn't link correctly.I'm almost certain its a coding linking issue - As if I were to load the same movieclip as the first one (only telling it to load image2, it loads fine - but then wont link to a separate location).Ok, its starting to get confusing; so here's the FLA. When you open the FLA don't go looking around for bits and pieces. Everything you need will be in the 'action_ content' movie clip. You will find both instances of the images (which are labelled 'Previous_Work_Item_1a' etc)[code]The first image is linked to page '6', the second image (which is failing to load) is linked to page '7'. What's confusing is that Previous_Work_Item2a/b/c are just duplicates of Previous_Work_Item_1a/b/c

I'm trying to access a variable from my main movie in a loaded movie. I can't get it to work however. The movie loads into the main movie but I can't access anything from that main movie. I see that there a few write ups out there about this, but I just can't get it. I attached a zip as well as the source below.
here is the main movie script

View 2 Repliesi have three mc's that look like cd's Three instances of the same movie clip. they go into a player onRelease. do any of you know how to do this... if i click on a cd it looks if any other cd's are clicked. if anyof them are clicked then it tells them to gotoAndPlay (thisKeyFrame) in that cd movie clip(which would be a simple tween and will look like the cd comes back out).
i tried setting variables in the cdMovie clip like on the first frame onValue="no" but once it goes in and stops the onValue="yes". and then i had AS on each cd looking if the onValue variable is yes or no in each one of them. but for some reason it can't read it? Do you know what i should do? maybe create an object or something for each button?
My FM is embedded in the HTML-file startmovie.html?var1=bla&var2=nr .
How can I load these two variables var1 and var2 into variables in my Flash Movie?
I know how to send and load vars from PHP-scripts but the Movie is allready running at that time. Now I want to start the movie (through the HTML-page) and get the arguments from the URL that contains the FM.
I have this code in a movie, the movie loads fine on it's own but when i load it into another movie it does not work. I think this is to do with global vars, but im not sure. look at the code to see if it is the case. how and where i would change the vars so they are global vars.

[Code]...
i 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.

I followed the tutorial about multi-dimensional arrays and attachmovie. I would like to create a similar one but I want to add setInterval so that the attached movies appear in an order with some time delay. Instead of the loop used in the tutorial I used setInterval and clearinterval. However, all the attached movie clips' _x and_y positions are the same and I can't send the information in the array to the attached movie clips. When I trace() the text boxes it returns undefined.
