ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie With Buttons Undefined
Sep 24, 2010
All the actionscript is taking place outside of the timeline and in its own AS file.InProgress is a movieClip that contains nothing at start. Once loaded it contains a list of movieClips, each which contain buttons. I need to change the label on those nested buttons. The buttons are actually components, where the label is named label and its variable is labelID.[code]Now if I create just a button on the stage myself, the .label command works perfectly. However, it does not work at all with nesting... I just want to change the label of the nested resumeButton...

I encountered a strange thing when experimenting with attachMovie. So, here's the deal: 2 button, 1 mc_colder. Each button onPress loads a different MC into the holder ( mc1 and mc2 ). Beside those 2 buttons that load the 2 MCs i have 2 more buttons that should remove the loaded MC. Nothing bad until now, loading, removing works fine, but a problem occurs if I click one of the 2 loading buttons twice.. Example: I pess the first buttons once, and loads mc1, i press button 2, loads mc2, i remove both mcs, now, i press button 1 again, loads mc1, i press buton 1 again ( and it should load the mc again or do nothing ? ) but when i want to remove this MC it won't. How can I fix this? Or how can I tell flash not to attach the MC again, once it has already been loaded? I tried a few tricks but nothing yet. I'll keep experimenting with it.

I'm building an image gallery in Flash, and I've struck a problem.Here's what I have so far: A series of movie clip buttons which animate quite nicely.I want to make it so that when you click on one of the buttons, a series of thumbnails appears (I would put them all in a movieclip). Here's my code for one of the buttons:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}[code]....
When I click on that button, the thumbnails appear, but they are inside the button mc. I want to either make the "india_thumbs" mc appear in a blank mc, or make it appear in its own layer.

I have created an interactive atlas. I am using my favorite map zooming and panning tools supplied by Senocular which can be found here: [URL] For the panning/zooming/drawBox tool to work the map features must be buried deep within several movieclips. There is one level at which you can put buttons that aren't effected by the code for the panning/zooming etc. Buttons have to go on this level or higher if you want them to work.
The way my atlas is set up - there is a main interface that has these tools plus the menu system. The menu (xml; created by Lost and Sen - brilliant) loads in two external swfs - one is the map itself and the other is a set of "controls" for that particular map (radio buttons, check boxes, text links, etc.).
Okay so here is my problem. I have a couple of external swfs that have buttons on them that do things when you roll over and off them. If I have these buttons sitting on the map then when it gets loaded into the main interface they no longer work. So I am trying to use attachMovie to attach them to an MC within the zooming tools in the main interface at a level they can be active (oh god I hope that makes sense). But it's not working.
I am guessing it's because the code to attach them is being fired before the external can be loaded into the interface. So I'm not really sure where to fire the attachMovie code. Does it go with the external? Does it go with the controls for the external?

I'm building a play/pause button for my movie, and here's how I have it setup: The main button object is playPause_btnThe first layer of the button has a movie clip with the pause graphic, named pause_mcThe second layer of the button has a movie clip with the play graphic, called play_mcOn the button's click event, I want to set one of the graphics to 0 alpha and the other to 100 depending on the state, so only one graphic will show through The problem is, for some reason ActionScript returns UNDEFINED when I try to reference playPause_btn.play_mc -- and when I do a dump of the movie's objects, I see entries for _level0.playPause_btn.instance12 and _level0.playPause_btn.instance13 instead of the play_mc and pause_mc objects. Why aren't the objects' instance names accessible??

I'm attaching as many instances of a MC as my xml child nodes length.So basically never know how many of them would be on the stage.Each MC receive actions to perform, nothing fancy and it basically works.But what I want to do is to know when the user has clicked once on any mc so this latter gets 'not enabled' until another MC instance gets clicked. (so my previous MC instance gets enabled, it acts like radio buttons )The point is I know how to do it when the total of instances is defined.I also know the basics of a loop , but I cannot figure how to set up a "toggle" to gets this 'radio button group behaviour

In my main timeline, I have an image fade in and stop on frame 61. On Frame 61, the code below executes;
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>
<place name= "Bengkulu">
<frame>63</frame>
[Code] ....
There are no output errors, or compiler errors, yet when I click on one of the buttons, the movie does nothing - it certainly does not gotoAndStop on frame 62, 63, or 64 as I am asking it too. Before this code, there are no other actions at all in the movie - just a simple fade in image.. I have now tried tracing (the objects below), within the click handler curly braces (showData);
'xmlData' produces nothing in the Output
'xmlFrame' produces '0' on each click in the Output window.
Tracing both the above outside of the showData function curly braces produces;
1120: Access of undefined property of xmlFrame, or xmlData.
Tracing the nameBtn[i] produces '[object SimpleButton]' in the Output Window.

Through attachMovie I have loaded an mc from the library onto the stage into "holder_mc".
myButton.onRelease = function () {
if (currentWork != "holder_mc.myWork1_mc") {
holder_mc.attachMovie("myWork_mc","myWork1_mc", getNextHighestDepth());
currentWork = "holder_mc.myWork1_mc";
}
}
This works.
However, there are a couple of buttons (mc) inside "myWork1_mc" which skips through a few slides in the myWork1_mc clip that I cannot target. I thought using:
holder_mc.myWork1_mc.buttonName_mc.onRelease = function () {
trace("MC_pressed");
}
... would work. My curser doesn't even change to the hand symbol. How do I target an dymanically loaded MC from the library which is inside an empty holder MC on the stage via attachMovie? What am i missing? Believe me, I have spent hours trying to google it.
Note: at this stage there is no other script on "holder_mc", but there will be at a later date, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Also, the buttons work when I place the MC onto the stage and not use attachMovie.

i was wondering if it is possible to use attachMovie with variables using flashvars from html. im kind of new to AS and would like to know if anyone could help me out here
i need to make a single SWF in wich some movieclips can be replaced by others through the html code without editing the swf file.
i already know how to enter the variables on the html, but i dont know how to apply this to attachmovie command in the flash file.

for (i=0; i<policy.length; i++) {
newOpt = Stocklist_MC.attachMovie('Option', 'Option'+i, i);
I've got a ScrollPane on the root stage. This loads a MC called 'Stocklist_MC' (this also has a linkage/export name of 'Stocklist_MC'). When I try to use '.attachMovie' to the movieclip (Stocklist_MC) inside the ScrollPane nothing appears. All the AS is on frame 1 of root. Everything works when I use '.attachMovie' with _root. for (i=0; i<policy.length; i++) { newOpt = _root.attachMovie('Option', 'Option'+i, i); Also, if I drag Stocklist_MC to the stage I get everything working but list gets cut off at bottom, which is the reason why I need it in a scrollPane.

I've been battling this project, and finally got it all wrapped up and working, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore.Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which are placed into the FloorMC which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.[URL](I'd love to attach the swf and fla to this message, so you could take a look at those, but apparently that would be crazy.) thought perhaps it had to do with me using _root, but I went through and changed them all out to _globals and _parents and it still no likey. Furthermore the Comment Box in the bottom left gets triggered by _root commands form all sorts of different levels, and it seems to work fine, both on the web and off.

What I'm trying to do is simply this:
<variable> = mvcShip
var ship1 = _root.attachMovie( <variable>, shipName + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth() );
What i am trying to attempt here is to make the variable equal to the name of an item in my library. (Im using this to use different ships in an old arcade-style vertical shooter). This is meant to make a ship appear on stage.
When <variable> is replaced with a library item (eg. mvcShip), it works fine, but if the variable is in place, i get a trace value of ship1 as "undefined", and the ship doesnt show up on the stage.

I am trying to create a pair of custom drop down menus (one for states, and then one for each states counties). I have an XML doc that contains all this info, which I am parsing out into an array(sc). What I would like to happen is when the user rolls over the states drop down arrow(stDropArrow_mc) that I run a for loop which attaches some movie clips to a states movie clip already on stage(states_mc), fills in the state name in a display text field(display_txt) within the attached movie, within the "states_mc" on stage(root timeline). so essentially(states_mc."NEW ATTACHED MOVIE CLIP NAME".display_txt.text) Here is a code sample that I am using...

When you attach a movieclip taken from the symbol library to the Stage, by using the attachMovie function and its Linkage name, do you have to - previously - place a dummy instance of the mc anywhere on that Stage to get it works ?

I have a loop and in it i am attaching a movie clip (basiccly its just a row with data). The movieclip has a alpha fade in it. Now I want to delay each attachmovie function so that the movies are attached one by one rather then trow them all on the screen at once. (plus it looks better with the alpha fade).
I tried the setInterval but it wont work (ex.:Interval is 1 sec, and if im going to attach 6 MC, flash wait 6 * 1 sec, then show them all)
And is it possible to attach a movieclip inside a othermovieclip thats not on the same frame (the other MC is on frame 10)?

I want to attach a preloader to the main stage of my site to load in external JPEGS and SWF's and to do this I need to pass certain parameters to my preloader, such as the preloaders width and height. How do I make use of the initObject parameter for attachMovie()? I know I need to either define a constructor or somehow access the current movieClip's constructor, but I have no want to create a custom class for my preloader movieclip, I just want to be able to get certain information when I attach the preloader. Do I really need to create a custom class that inherits from movieClip?
