I don't understand following code,because I only define _position and don't define position variable,why I can use position.x? x = position.x; y = position.y;

in jist.have a MC that is a nav bar. It houses buttons. The buttons inside the MC do not respond to code ony the _root timeline or code defined specifically to them. What I am trying to achieve is the nested buttons calling on my dynamic text field and loading outside .txt files.I manipulate the buttons on the main timeline and get the effects i'm looking for but not inside of the MC.
In the code below i want to change the _root.broj and _root.logo variables inside the function which returns values from .php file. Inside the function everything works fine and all values are correct but when i trace var broj outside the function it's still 0.

var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var broj:Number=0;

View 16 RepliesI just recently began migrating from AS2 to AS3, and I have of course realized that I can no longer move the "_root" by changing the _x and _y positions of the _root (which no longer exists in AS3). How can I do this in AS3 (specifying _x, _y, _z possibly of the "_root")?

View 4 RepliesI an trying to get the _root node of an FLA via JSFL. A co-worker wrote a script that uses _root via actionscript. I was trying to wrap that code into a panel. I have all the trace functionality running and everything running accept I can't seem to access the "_root". I have tried _level0, and almost everything I can think of... I am looking to have JSFL return the _root object from the current file the same way can can hand "_root" to a function. (IE: myfunction( _root ); ) here is my current attempt:
Code:
var doc = MMExecute( "fl.getDocumentDOM()._root;" );
I have an external swf, that is a photo gallery, loading into my main swf. When the external swf loads, everything works fine except when you click on a thumbnail in the external swf, the jpg doesn't load. I have it set up that an empty movie clip is created first, then the jpg is loaded into that. I have a feeling it is something with the fact that I am using _root, but I don't have any guesses whats causing the issue and how to fix it.
Code:
News.onRelease = function(){
if( !this.up ){

View 5 RepliesI want to be able to get my var from my XML file. But when I add another node in my XML file, let's say its called <picNum>3</picNum> I can't seem to get it into my flash file? I only want one number under each <subnumber> node if thats possible?
I have this var in my .fla.

I've got a swf loader that loads a swf obviously but in the swf that's being loaded I have a button inside of a movie clip which I use...
Code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("page1");
}
When viewing the swf file on its own this works perfectly, however when it gets loaded into the first file it no longer works because the root has now changed to that first file.
Why isn't this working?I've tried everything.Here's a resume on what's the part with errors:
Code:
var Bl:Object = {x:-18, y:174};
_parent.mwall.globalToLocal(Bl);

I was jsut wondering if it is possible to have the _root fade out, when e.g. loading a something into level1 and then have _root fade back in when unloding level1?

View 4 RepliesI used the tutorial on Kirupa on loading external swf's. Before writing here I tried to find an answer in the forums, but no luck so here I go.[URL]..If you look at my files: Open portfolio.swf and hit one of the first two images (that initially flies in). here you will see that if you hit the second one, the rpesent one displayed makes an outro and the second one makes an intro, PERFECT!
Now, if you open default.swf (that has portfolio.swf loaded into a movie clip as you can see by looking at the source) and if you hit the second image, the first one makes the outro, and then makes an intro. So the shift to the second one is not happenening. Please, can someone help me to make this happen?
difference between _root and _global when dealing with variables or point me in the direction of a good explaniation on the web? I feel like there is something basic I am missing. For example the other day I was working on making some scenarios. In a nut shell I was setting up dynamic text boxes where the text would changed based on what the student selected (via buttons).
When the varible was changed (by clicking the button) the text wouldn't refresh when it was a _global, but would refresh when it was _root. Everything is working fine but I've been trying to understand the "why" it works this way.
I have this code. It works fine when i press a button.
if (_root.mc._alpha == 100) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 50;[code]....
I need to know how can I trace the _alpha value of the mc and when the value is 0 a movie clip is loading in the same mc.

View 1 RepliesI'm wanting to use an XML file to define swfaddress deeplinking buttons so that "next" and "previous" buttons can be easily changed out by the client without having to edit the .FLA file.
In other words the .FLA file will have a series of labeled keyframes "frame_01," "frame_02," and so on the "next" button will have code in it that parses an xml file and inserts the correct frame for the deeplinking.
Code:
// LOAD XML
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I know it's possible (and the answer must be under my nose) but I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this:I have 5 movie clips on the stage, and their instance names are in one array. I then have an array with hexidecimals that I want to assign the colors to the movie clip. So, in essence clipArray[0] would obtain hueArray[0] and so on and so forth. Here is the small code snippet I am working with.
stop();
var clipArray:Array = [one_mc, two_mc, three_mc, four_mc, five_mc];
var hueArray:Array = ["0xd50000","0xff9000","0xfcff00","0x00c91c","0x005 0d5"];

defined using a specific syntax. Instead, you define events in your class by using the functionality of the EventDispatcher class to keep track of event listeners and notify them of events."But in some Adobe's sample files, events are defined as class properties or local variables in class methods. while we call the dispatchevent() method only one time for each event (By the way is it possible to dispatch a single event more than one time?) and do not use the event object elsewhere in the class, what is the advantage of assigning the event to a variable? specially to a class property, specially to a public class property, while we can define and dispatch the event in a single statement like this:this .dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE,true)) ?2. The AS3 Language Reference says :"You do not normally call clone(); the EventDispatcher class calls it automatically when you redispatch an eventthat is, when you call dispatchEvent(event) from a handler that is handling event
