how do you call an onClipEvent(enterframe) of a movieclip to happen when that movieclip is pressed?
[Code]...
when i type this in i get an error because on events cannot be nested within other on events. how can you get around this?
I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)
View 1 RepliesIn the following code I am trying to call the function pressMc when movieclip myMC_mc is pressed and the apply the drag action to it. However the drag action is being applied to the whole of level0 and therefore all of the moviclips.I am not sure why. Am using the this key word as I would expect this to be identified as myMC_mc when the myMC_mc.onPress is evoked.I want to write this as a function because I want to apply this drag action to lots of different movieclips
function pressMc (){
delete this.oldX;
delete this.oldY;[code]....
I have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.
View 7 RepliesI want to duplicate an MC every 5th second, so I came up with this code:
Code:
i = 100;
p = 0;
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
[Code].....
I know this doesn't work, because onClipEvent only works on buttons or MCs. So the question is: is there an onTimelineEvent or something that'd work on the timeline?
Why doesn't this code work?
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = this._x+20;
if (this._x>300) {

I registered because this forum kept on popping up when I asked google my actionscript questions.
I'll just come right out and admit it, I'm a noob. I am making a website with a bunch of buttons on a menu bar. When you mouse over a button, a submenu of other buttons pops out of it. I use this code.
[Code]...
The parent buttons are movie clips, and the sub-buttons are on later frames.My question is this: how can I delay it so that you have to hold the mouse over the button for a second before the button's playhead goes to its next frame?
Ideally, I'd like to have the playhead go to the second frame immediately, to change the color of the button on mouseover, and then have a delay before frame 3, when the sub-buttons start to appear.
Ok. I have two MCs. One a red ball, another a blue. On the red ball, (ball_mc) I have keyboard movement with the arrow keys. I also have the fallowing code on it:
if(this.hitTest(_root.ball2_mc)){
play();
if(ball_mc._currentframe == 6){

I wasn't sure how to name this thread to well. Here's my funk: I have made a photo slide show and all works well for browsing and viewing. Where I got stuck was when I tried to write code that would center images that were vertical. This is the entire code on the empty mc that has it preload, display then adjust the x of the image. Now, with this code if the image is vertical it flies off the right of the page. haha. sounds fun eh?

i had four "widgets" on the screen that i had following around another "master" movieclip but repelling from oneanother...initially i used this code in each clips timeline:onClipEvent (enterFrame) { and then set their new _x and _y depending ont he position of the master and other widgets.this worked fine... however i wanted to dynamically generate the widgets so i could have as many onscreen as were present in an array on my main timeline.i have been able to generate the clips fine, but i cannot use [onClipEvent (enterFrame) {] on them as they are in the main timeline! if i set up a "cheating loop" and run it through 200 times updating the widgets movement and they move to their correct position..
View 2 RepliesI have a whole bunch of onClipEvent(enterFrame){} events going on. Would taking all that code and putting it into just one mc's onClipEvent(enterFrame){} function lower cpu usage? What is a good way to have enterFrame functions die if not needed?
I have 5 nav buttons. The first two have sub sections. (1st one has 2 elements, 2nd one has 4 elements). The way I set it up, each of these buttons checks on the _y position of the button below it. I then use a move function with inertia to move the bottom button, and all buttons on top of move along with a springy feel. Also, when these move, I show the 2nd frame of each of the buttons in the corresponding section, for it shows the text of each button. This is the way I am doing it right now (By setting everything in one enter frame function it seems to run a lot smoother than when each element had its own enterframe function for just one line of code):
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_parent.link1_1._y = _parent.link1_2._y-20;[code]....
I am using the following code to load my flash file, contact a php script and decide what frame to play based on the results. THat is all working fine, the problem is that when the animation starts from Frame 2 - gotoAndPlay(2) - it seems to repeat a few frames over and over until the whole animation is complete.
I have done some reading up and the enterFrame is called many times so I can understand why the problem is there but I don't know how to resolve it. The interesting thing is, when I just use gotoAndPlay(2) in the if loaded section, it all works fine. It's only when it's in the onLoad for the loadVars that causes it to break. Using: Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0

i am new to flash AS,i have 4 movieclips, those have the 4 option of a question, when i select the answer,if it correct means my score will increase otherwise it will show alert,for that first i have to press the any one movieclip out of 4 options, in AS3.0 addEventHandler will work for AS2.0 what will i use to achive this

in this answer1, answer2,answer3,answer4 are the movieclip for 4 options
I have this code on my MC. I just want to know if what i'm getting is correct. I have this to get the date, day, month, year...you know the drill, but i can only get the complete date to display if I use onClipEvent(load). (enterFrame) won't work, and i just wanted to make sure there was a reason behind it. Is it because I'm using arrays? check out the code. I do not want to majorly change the code if it can be avoided...

I am trying to make a movie clip fade in after several movie clips are pressed. It does not matter what order they are clicked in-Just as all of them are pressed. Does anyone know what this is called so i can find a solution?
View 3 Repliesin actionscript, Is there a way i can make a coddition happen if 2 keys at once are pressed?
example:
if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) && (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && _currentframe == 1)) {
gotoAndPlay("running_left");
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && _currentframe == 1)) {
gotoAndPlay("running_right");
}
or can't i do shift and left/right?
I have short script (onClipEvent (enterFrame) {some code here}) that works well on movieClip that is on Stage. I've added the script to 'actions - movie clip' -window). But my problem is that movieclip should be attached dynamically usign actionscript, so I cannot add the script to the clip, as I used to.

how to cal movieclip from stage to the movielcip which present in another movieclip
View 4 RepliesI want to run a function when a certain movieclip enter a specific frame. The problem is it run the function repeatedly. I only want it to run once each time the movieclip change from one frame to another is there an event Listener that does it ? (can't put the code on each frame of the movieclip to sloppy and long)
View 0 RepliesI'm working on a project in Flash with AS 3.I'm making a application that contents a few pages.At first I have two labels: Home and Pages.Home contents 4 moviebuttons that I want to navigate to the different pages.The problem is in pages is one movieclip that contents 4 other movieclips.The reason of that is that 'pages' is a sort of slideshow that slides through the pages.So for example: when I click on the second moviebutton ! want to go to the second slide.How do I navigate to these movieclips.
View 4 RepliesI've got an problem with reading out an array, the array is filled with movieclips with each an different picture in it (php variable -an url). Basically what i want to do is get the pressed movieclip and use another method to change the _xscale and _yscale properties of the pressed movieclip (an picture) and then pass it back to the function brillenArray.onEnterFrame to change the values of that movieclip!
Only thing what i now get is that either all of the pictures move or none...
[AS]
brillenArray = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i<5; i++) {
if (this['plaatje'+i] != undefined) {
[Code].....
If i press one of the four pictures it does what i want to: THAT picture scales to 70. But how can i call this movieclip (the pressed one) from another method without using specified place in the array (like brillenArray[1])?

this is the code i am using, i get what flash is doing, after i release the key it starts to play the "walking" frames- only i include the gotoAndStop("idle") so it doesn't get to play "walking".but what i am looking for it to do is play the walking only when the key is pressed and stop when released.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))//68
{
this._x += moveSpeed;
this.legs.gotoAndPlay("walking");

I had an odd occurance where a listener was firing when I pressed on another movieclip. Both functions executed, which obviously caused some trouble. I fixed the misfiring listener by creating a new child (panel) and then adding the listener's movieclip to panel.

Above is my code which I am using to try and fade out a MC when a button is pressed. The button (and the picture it shows when pressed) are within the same MC. I have placed this MC on the root timeline and given the MC I want to fade out the instance name drew // but still not having any luck making invisible.
