I am trying to write an IF Else statement that will check to see if a movieclip on the stage has an external SWF loaded in it that was loaded using the loadMovie command. Does the loadMovie command or the internal movieclip object have any kind of a built in function that will return a value if it has an external SWF loaded in it?

i am trying to check if the movieclip has left the stage. by using the Stage.width. When the movieclip leves the stage no it not recognised. As the trace function does not appear.

I don't work with the Flash IDE very much, and I'm running into a problem with the unreliable creation order of components instantiated by the Flash IDE "magic".
Basically, I have to call a function on a loaded module. This function should only be called after all the module's children have been added to the stage.[code]...
I have a movieclip AAA(W:550xH:1200) placed on the stage (W:550xH:400). Inside of the movieclip, there are many other moveclips. I like to implement this result: When I scroll(Y-axis) the movieclip AAA to a position, the moveclips inside of AAA will fade in, and the other movieclips out side of the stage will fade out.
View 4 RepliesIs there any way to check if any other movieclip is hitting one specific movieclip (not two specific movieclips) something like --> if(movieClip1.hitTestObject(movieClipX)){
with movieClipX being any movieclip
I have 8 movieclip on stage, 4 of them being the contents, and the other 4 being the target. I have to drag all of the 4 contents, into the target. apparently, i am able to do that, but the problem i'm facing right now, is the button that is on stage, is suppose to check if the movieclip are in the right place, which i set them.
Here are the codes:

I'm trying to create a slideshow, using Flash CS3 and AS3. I have 6 thumbnails with buttons attached to them, and then 6 movieclip images placed on the stage manually, each on a different layer. Inside of each image MC (i.e. image01_mc is the instance name of the first image), the image is animated to enlarge outwards from the thumbnail to make a larger version of the image. Standard operating procedures, and all that. So far, the buttons successfully call upon the frame label inside the imageClips to enlarge.
The next part of the problem is that when clicking the next thumbnailButton, I want the currently enlarged image to diminish in size back to its thumbnail, so that the next image can take its place. I have a frame label inside those imageClips to make that animation.
I think, with my rudimentary understanding of AS3, that I need to find out which movie clip instance is on the stage, using If statements, with some code to gotoAndPlay the frame inside the imageClips that shrinks the image.
I've tried various combinations of If, Else if, getChildByName, etc, that I've found in numerous posts, but nothing seems to work.
I want to check if the stage is loaded with stuff. If it is, remove it and load my new stuff. If it isn't load my stuff.
View 1 RepliesNot sure the best way to do this. I have a class we will call DropActivity, here is the code
[Code]...
when the stopDraggingMe() method is called from another object (code shown below) I need to see all the objects on the stage to see what objects on the stage my currently selected movie clip is over and assign it to the dropCheck.checkAgainst method (that will be checked against an array to see if it can in fact be dropped, if so set the canBeDropped value to true and therefor run the .stopDrag() ). I have read using root is not a good coding practice in AS 3.
[Code]...
for AS3.people thi is how you rock:
ActionScript Code:
if (neslide.map) {
//var maptween:Map = new Map(this,origwidth,origheight);

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

I have a lot of different movieclips on the main stage, with a majority of them being mcHotspot movieclips. These mcHotspots are simply yellow boxes which display a 40% alpha so users can see where they can click on the stage. When you click one of these hotspots, a menu is displayed which contains more mcHotspot movieclips embedded within it.
I'd like to have a single button that will loop through all the items on the stage and display anything that is of type "mcHotspot". Is this possible, and is there a way I can dig down into any items of type movieclip that are NOT mcHotspots to see if they have mcHotspots themselves? I'm basically looking to use a recursive loop that will go to the lowest level. I know there is a typeof function that returns either Number, String, movieclip, etc. but is it possible to know what type of movieclip it is?

Is there a way to check an objects x,y coordinates based on where it is on the stage, vs. where it is in the movie clip that is on the stage?
need this to compare with the mouse for instance.
I would like to know how to perform a check on the direction of the movement of the mouse on stage like let us say considering the stage.height/2 as the center if the mouse moves up it should trace up and down if it moves down... I did it by storing all the _ymouse coordinates in temp array and chking if temp[i]>temp[i-1] but it doesn't work satisfactorily. i am posting the script i made...i do admit i am very bad in calculations so correct me if i went wrong somewhere

I have a bunch of movieclips linked with bones, with the last bone named chainEnd, and the following code on the stage.
import fl.ik.*;
var tree:IKArmature=IKManager.getArmatureByName("chain Link");
var bone:IKBone = tree.getBoneByName("chainEnd");
var tailJnt:IKJoint = bone.tailJoint;
var chainPos:Point=tailJnt.position;
var chainMover:IKMover=new IKMover(tailJnt,chainPos);
If I set an enter frame event to change the chainPos and then use chainMover.moveTo(chainPos) the chain will wiggle about and generally act like a proper chain. (I use this so that if the cursor touches the chain it will react to it) It works perfectly. So I saved it, exported it and then used a loader to get it into a different file that I'm working with. I figured I could load it in as a movieclip titled "chain" and access the variables through chain.chainPos etc.
This works if I want to for instance trace(chain.chainPos), but if I want to do what was previously possible (react to the mouse) it just won't work. I can check for a hitTestObject for anything on the stage, and I can check for a hitTestPoint against the mouse coordinates, they trace fine, but when I want to actually have the chain move the chainPos and chainMover.moveTo don't seem to do anything. (Interestingly enough chainPos still updates it's coordinates, so if I do chain.chainPos.x += (put number here) and trace that, it will actually change) Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew why this wasn't working, or could help me get this functional. It's a massive pain to have the bones/movieclips on the stage rather than loaded in as a movieclip, so if possible I'd like to avoid that.
I'm using flash 5 to develop a dynamic banner. It loads a txt file in an single line text field that moves from right to left, similar an electronic bank display. What I need is to check when the last character of the text loaded gets out of the stage (-x), so I can send the text field to its original position simulating a continuous loop animation. (I could do this using flashMX cause the text field scales according to the text size but I have to use flash5 ).

1. click on a thumbnail and an image loads from the library
2. click on a different number and another image loads from the gallery
I don't know how to remove the first image that is loaded.
