IDE :: Copying Complex Buttons, Then Modifying Them Individually?
Feb 4, 2009I've made a pretty complex button thats actually a drop down menu. So when you mouse over the button, it opens the drop down menu, but the actual button is also clickable. The problem comes in when I copy the button like 4 times. I can make the main button go to different links, but everything inside the button,i.e. the drop down links, changes across all copies whenever I modify one. How do I go about making each button a different separate button so that I can modify each one individually?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call Movieclip From Dynamic Instance?
Sep 16, 2009How would you add a listener to an object inside of a movieclip that is in the library and as not been placed on the stage yet? Or, could you tell it to listen for when it does go on stage if it does come on the stage and when it comes on the stage to add an eventlistener to a movieclip inside of that?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : Dynamic Instance Naming Of MC's?
Jun 5, 2009I have 4 Mc's on the stage, and they have instance names 'mc1' - 'mc2' etc.The MC's have links in them (they are kind'a navigation items) and i need to change the functions of the 'rollOver, and mouseDown events', but keep the MC's the same.The MC's are referenced by instance name and given functions in the first few frames of he movie. for example
---------------
mc_1_0.onRollOver = function() {
if (_root.mc_1_0._currentFrame == 1) {
[code]...
Now, what i want achieve is to change the instance names of the MC's (mc_1_0 for example) so that when the user interacts with this MC on the stage, they are taken to locations of my choice (and the actions of another MC), by switching the instance names. IE, i want to change the instance name of 'mc_1_0' to 'mc_2_0' at runtime, BUT i want to do it with a variable from a .txt file.i would need to start with a script that looks for the MC with a certain instance name
-- look for instance mc_1_0, and then change the instance name to 'mc_2_0'
The effect would be that the user would instigate the same actions, regardless of which of the two MC's they rolled over.Maybe i could call the instances initially 'MC_1_Temp' and 'MC_2_Temp' etc: and then i would need a script to change them to 'mc_1_0' and 'mc_2_0' at runtime.SO in the text file i would need something like this
--------------------------
&MC_1_Temp_name=mc_1_0&
--------------------------
this way the behaviour of the MC on the stage wil take on the functions of another MC.should i be looking at something like this placed on the MC.....
onClipEvent(load){
//make this instance called - var = MC_1_Temp_name
}
ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Parts Of Xml To Call?
Apr 9, 2008i created a flash menu that calls its items from an xml document. the menu items are images that scroll within the menu movie clip depending on mouse position. my problem is that, when clicked, each of these menu items needs to call a pretty complex function.
so this seems like a really basic question, but, is there a tag or something i can use in the xml file to like, name each of the items so that i can write functions with them individually with my actionscript in flash?

Mar 12, 2011I have a problem with a button.It has 4 keyframe and a text field with the same instance name "myText".I use this button in a MC, and its instance name is "myBtn".I'm trying to change myText with actionscript in the MC without any results.Debugging it I find a text field insiede this button named "instance6", so i think there is some problem with instance name.
I trying with:

How can i correctly give instance name to this text field?Is there any way to find out the name of the instance of an object (the text field) knowing the instance name of its parent (the button)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic MovieClip Naming?
Dec 22, 2008I am just getting started with AS3 and have run into a problem. I had a way of attaching movieClips from the library to the stage in AS2 that used the old attachMovie() function where I would run a for loop and it would duplicate the moviclip to the stage and dynamically create new names for the new instances.I now am using this:

Data Integration :: Naming A MovieClip From FlashVars?
Oct 17, 2006I have a Flash file containing a floor plan over my office. I want visitors to be able to locate the room for a specific person by clicking on the room nr.In my HTML-code I give the FlashVars a value equal to the chosen person's room number like this:
<param name="FlashVars" value="roomNr=G207" />
Then I have the script in my Flash file where I first declare a variable fetching the value from my FlashVars:
myRoom = roomNr;
After that I have the code to produce a different color to a movieclip, thus indicating which room it is:
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var myCT:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
myCT.rgb = 0x009900;
I have made a movieclip for each room and named their instances like the values that will be passed when selecting a room.For instance: G207, F106E, U123 and so on. let the instance name of a movieclip be the value from my FlashVars which I declared earlier. I wrote the next line:
myRoom.transform.colorTransform = myCT;
BUT... this will not work. I have tried two things to understand the problem:
1. I put a dynamic text field on stage, naming it and assigning its text to be the value from FlashVars:
testTextField.text = roomNr;
And it works perfect. It gets the correct value and writes it out on stage.
2. I tried to hard code the myRoom variable to be equal to G207 (myRoom = G207; ), and that works fine as well.WHY won't it recognise my FlashVars value as an instance name of a movieClip?

I thought this would be simple, but it hasn't been.

I want them to become visible when I call this function.

But it is not working.
I thought maybe it was like converting variable info to a number format, but using a text scenario instead.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Call Instance Name And Play Frame
Feb 8, 2009configuring this instance movie to play when i click a button, here is my movie structure:
- root movie - container and some external .swf movie
The process is there will be button load at the end of root movie, and calling some external swf movie with number. all the swf will play in a container each swf movie(about 5 animation)
At the end of root movie there is also some loop animation that play at the end of root movie, while we can click the button also.
What i want to do is how can i play the loop movie, start from the middle when i click one of the button.
So what happen will be: - click button = external movie load and the instance name play from frame 100 and loop again.
