Iv'e got a problem, when creating a movieclip inside a movieclip. I create 5 movieclips dynamically... I want a clickable tag/box on each of these moviclips...

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){

I've been using this site for a while as I'm taking flash lessons in my college and right now I am building a portfolio website and am in need of help, so I've decided to come to you for some light. My problem is in the portfolio I'm creating in AS2 I have the photo and video galleries in form of a click'n'drag movie clip that slides sideways. So far, so good. However, when I add buttons to my mc (and that includes the ones in all my video players as well), they don't work at all. I think it has something to do with the function I'm using. Is there any solution for allowing buttons to be clickable? This is the code I'm using directly in the mc:

I need to create a variable inside a MoveClip. The easiest way to do this is to click on a movieclip in the editor and just enter the actionscript on a frame, but because i'm doing this with dynamically created movieclips i need to do it with actionscript.
PS: I'm doing it for sorting purposes in a slideshow.
I am currently creating animated buttons that have a movie clip inside them (including tweens). I created a button and copied this six times. I would like to change the colour of each individual button, but when I do this it changes the colours of all the buttons. How can I do this so it changes the individual the colour of a single button.

View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip which works as a button. But I also have a movieclip which doesn't preform anything when you click it. The button-movieclip is behind the other movieclip. I want to be able to click the button even if I click the movieclip. But since the movieclip is in front of my button, I can't.
View 3 RepliesA can't seem to get this creating movieclip thing, or attach movieclip. What I want is when a certain button is pressed, a MC in the library is created on the work area, at the mouse location and will continue to follow the mouse untill it is clicked. Once clicked, it stops dragging, but if clicked again, another MC on the screen will gotoAndStop(2); and so on. I have most of the script idea down. But I can't seem to get the create new MC to work.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts
View 8 RepliesI have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;

I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?
I have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.
View 2 RepliesHow can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?
I have a movie clip, circle_mc, and in it is embed another movie clip, point_mc. I made the circle draggable with this:
Code:
circle_mc.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this);
[code]....
On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
I am loading movieclips on top of one another, and that part is working just fine. Each movieclip loads another *.swf file that fills the entire stage.
However, the buttons for the previous or "parent" movieclip are still clickable through the "child" movieclip. I still get the hand cursor and complete functionality for buttons that arent visible in the current movieclip...but actually reside on the parent. It is causing me a great deal of problem with event handling as some buttons are directly on top of the buttons for the parent and it's triggering unintended events because I can click "through" the currently visible clip.
I have tried button.enabled = false; but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Is there something I'm missing in the way I'm loading the movieclips? [code]...
Is there any ways to set a movie clip(item2) invisible but set another movie clip which located inside item2 visible?

View 0 RepliesI need it to have a rollover in the initial state (which works fine) and then, in another state (represented by the onOff variable & mc),I need it to have a rollover that has a different size than the actual area being displayed (so that it will do the rollOut when the user leaves the area around the first line of text).I thought I had it figured out by putting a hitSpot movieClip inside the box movieClip, but the box rollover function doesn't let the hitArea rollover function through...Here's the code, and the fla is attached with some samples of what I'm trying to do.

I know I could proboly acheive this with a math equation but is there a function that can get the exact global position of "myShape"? So that I can position another movieclip or sprite around that movieclip?
