I am trying to build a custom button component in flash 8... I am setting it up so you can change certain color values with the component inspector.I want to know how to change the tint of a movie clip inside the component...I searched all over the place, maybe I'm not looking right.I found out how to change the color in a text field but I am still stumped on how to change a movie clips tint.
View 3 Replieshow you can change the colour / tint of a movie clip via code, and essentially via a RGB value specified in an external xml file.
Here is the xml file I'm working with right now...
PHP Code:
<Countdown year="2009" month="2" day="14" bgdcolour="0xFFFFFF" lcdcolour="0xFFFFFF" labelscolour = "0x000000" textcolour = "0x000000">
</Countdown>
[Code].....
The bits highlighted in red bold above is the section where I've got stuck.. I have tried code: var bgdcolour:uint = Countdown.@bgdcolour; , but no luck and all I get is '16777215' in the output panel..
I'm using a function to make a movie clip with text inside of it act as a button:
Code:
poly.onPress = function() {
clearInterval(intervalID);
_parent.vocab.play();
};
is there a way to add a onRollOver: change tint of 'poly' to red (poly is a mc)??
Drag and drop game. I'd like the instance to tint red when rolled over after it's been successfully dropped. I'd also like to play a sound file when clicked after successful drop. Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener("dropped", dropper);
function dropper(e:Event):void {

Okay I have this problem and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Here is an outline of what is happening:1. I have a movie clip that contains two components, a combo box and a check box.2. The combo box has the instance name "comboBox", and the check box has the instance name "checkBox".3. The movie clip is exported for actionscript with the identifier "test".4. I run the following code:
[AS]
attached = _root.attachMovie("test","componentContainer", 1);
attached.comboBox.addItem("A", 1);[/AS]

I have square box with simple animation. Now I want to change color of my movie clip. Is this possible to change my movieClip's box ? My square box instance name is "blueBox". I mean i want to specify tint value
View 1 RepliesI have external swf imported and put it into movie clip like bellow,
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
Security.allowDomain("*");
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
[Code]....
But when I activate the last line in function(animMC.height = 200;) and publish, I don't see movie clip anymore. As a movie clip I thought I have full control as a movie clip should be, but is it still more limited control as swf or loader?
how do you change a variable that is written inside a movie clip by using actionscript code from a DIFFERENT movie clip?

View 17 RepliesI have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.

View 1 RepliesI have in my root:
1 Movie Clip instancied as a "cursor" 1 Movie Clip instancied as a "Mc_Obstacles" with others 5 Movie Clipsand the 5 Movie Clips inside the "Mc_Obstacles" are instancied as "Obstacle" , all with the same instance...I want this: when the mc "cursor" hit one of mcs "obstacles" gotoandstop to frame X then i did in frame with actions in another layer:
cursor.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this.x+10;
if(this.hitTest(Mc_Obstacles.Obstacle)){
gotoAndStop(4);
}
}
The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;
I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?

the slider mc works however i cant seem to get the 'web_MC' to respond..
I've created a custom component based on Image component. I want to teach it to respond to change of binded variable. E.g. if main class has a variable balance, I want the component to change image in case balance = 100 one image, in case balance = 50 to another.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip i want to change the color i am trying to do PHP Code:
onClipEvent(load){
_root.Mc._tint = 0xff0000
}
I need to know if it's possible, and if so, how, to change the tint of an object using actionscript. For instance, if one was to select a specific button, the actionscript in that button would tell the object, in this case the background, to change its tint.
View 2 RepliesThis tutorial was very good: [URL]. But is there a way to do this with tint and just as simply (3 little lines)? Because I just want to change the tint of the movieclip, not turn it into an opaque color.
View 1 RepliesI'm just trying to find the right action scrip for instance on my button to control the movie clip it is within.I have currently tried..

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.
View 6 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is set up a 4x5 grid of boxes. Inside each box is 1) an image 2) four arrow keys 3) a text field to enter the code corresponding to the image. The idea is that someone could enter product codes into each text field, and be able to save this information in an external xml file. If they wanted to change the order, but keep an image, they could just use the arrow keys to move the product around the grid.
Where I am running into problems is I can put the boxes up on the screen in a grid. I can give each box an instance name. But I haven't yet been able to discover a way to address a movie clip (say one of the arrow buttons) which is a child of the original movieclip place by my for loops. Ideally I am looking for a way find, target and change values:

View 6 RepliesCan you pause a movie clip, let's say movie clip A, from inside a seperate movie clip, let's say movie clip B. B is not a parent of A.
Essentially, I have a background slideshow running that I want to stop when a menu item is clicked, and an external swf file is loaded. I attached a jpg which diagrams how the movie clips are organized within each other and what I want to pause from within which movie clip:
If this is not feasible, I'd love if anyone could reccomend a better way to structure the movieclips.
I�d be grateful if anyone can answer what should be a simple problem. I�m building a Flash program that has many movie clips (like they all do). At one stage I need to duplicate a specific movie clip and make it appear in another movie clip.
PS: The movie clip needs to be added by actionscript as it is made on the fly in the program, hence it cant be in the original .fla file � if that makes sense.
I want to put a button on a movie clip that is inside a movie clip. The button needs to access a "label" on the parent movie clip.
