ActionScript 2.0 :: Fmx - Targeting A Movie In A Different Frame?
Jun 4, 2003
I am curious if it is possible without using some other kind of language to target a movie that is located in the same html file, but in a different frame?
Basically lets say my one swf files is a navigation bar. I then have other frames in the html file and when i click a button i want it to goto a frame in a different swf file which is in a different frame. Do i have to do a getUrl call? or is it different because is it an swf file?

I have 2 swfs. One called "loves.swf" that contains 4 buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, it opens up an with an external swf, called "about_loves.swf". I would like to make each button go to a different frame labeled in my external swf. Currently, when you click on any button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4), they just play frame 1 from the external swf, "about_loves.swf".I would like btn2 to play frame 2 of "about_loves.swf", btn3 to play frame 3 of "about_loves.swf" and btn4 to play frame 4 of "about_loves.swf".here is my code so far:
// these two lines are needed only once, so here they are:
import local.display.ShadowBox;
ShadowBox.initialize(stage);

I always face this problem when coding with flash, and still not able to get a solution for this problem....
if the nested mc is in the 1st frame then I can use: Level1_mc.Level2_mc.Level23_mc.gotoAndStop("2");
If refering nested btn I will use: MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("2");
so my question is, how about refering an mc from main timeline into nested mc but different frame( frame 4,5 or 6....)?

On my main timeline, I have a movieclip called "mainpage". Within "mainpage", I have a button that when clicked upon, needs to go back to the main timeline, into another movieclip, and to a specific frame in that movieclip. The code I've been using for all my other buttons is this:
Code: Select allfunction goAdler (e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndStop("adler");
}
adler_proj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goAdler);
In that particular case, the button is going up to the parent movieclip of it's parent to a specific frame label.The problem I'm having is that I need for this button within "mainpage", rapp_proj_btn, to go to the main timeline, go into a movieclip a few frames down called "portfolio_content" (on a frame labelled "Portfolio"), and to a frame labelled "rapp". No matter what I've tried, I can't seem to target the "portfolio_content" movieclip, even though I've put the instance name on it and everything. I can, using the code below, get the rapp_proj_btn to go to "Portfolio", but I can't get inside that "portfolio_content" movieclip that sits on that frame.
This is the code I use to get to the proper frame:
Code: Select allfunction goRapp (e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("Portfolio");
}
rapp_proj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRapp);
I tend to get an error describing not being able to get to an undefined property called "portfolio_content", and to be honest, in AS3, I'm not exactly sure how to go about fixing that error. I've tried calling the "portfolio_content" instance name in the code (right before gotoAndStop), but it doesn't recognize the movieclip.

Targeting nonnative frame labels?

I have a two frame page - the left frame is a custom flash Tree object that parses a number of IMS-compliant manifests (basically an XML tree menu structure) and the right frame displays the href of the tree object that is clicked. If i run this from a server, it works fine and displays all links in the right frame. But if I run it from a local or network drive it opens all links in _blank.
Adobe have a technote on the new allowScriptAccess and getURL in FP9 [URL] but dont mention anything about this issue (that i can locate). I also cannot see how opening all pages in _blank can fix any "security" issues. Can anyone confirm that targeting html frames locally via getURL under FP9 is now not possible or has been changed? or is this a bug (sorry - undocumented feature)?

I have the MovieClip named dessin, which loads another MovieClip named dessin (dessin.dessin). Now, there is a MovieClip named displayPlane, in the new MovieClip (dessin.dessin), in the MovieClip named displayPlane, there is a variable, which goes as follows:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc3 = displayPlane.attachMovie("displayNode", "displayNode_" + projectCount, projectCount);
inside that clip, there are multiple MovieClips in vars, I am trying to specifically target one var, the following:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc8 = this.attachMovie("closeBtn", "closeBtn", 5);
I have tried this code to target that specific MovieClip with no success.
Actionscript Code:
_root.dessin.dessin._loc3._loc8

How do you target a certain frame number/name from outside of that specific movieclip?
Code:
whoweare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, whoweareClick);
function whoweareClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("whoweare");
}
I'm assuming it's something with the gotoAndPlay function... but I've tried numerous things with that and nothing is working.

I have a movie clip in my main movie. The movie clip has buttons on it that tell where the play head should go in the main movie. I'm using this script;
[AS]
_parent.gotoandStop(28);
[/AS]
The play head goes to the right frame but it keeps playing even though I've specified it to "gotoAndStop" at frame 28. I've tried using labels and addressing it that way but same thing happens.

I've just finished the navigation buttons in my flash movie which take the viewer to the different sections of the site by directing the playhead to the right frame label. I've used the following code to do this:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndStop("info");
}
I have a problem though: I've also created a movie clip animation where two rectangular shapes move in simultaneously from the left and right sides of the stage creating a sliding door effect. When the viewer is in a particular section (frame) and they use one of the nav buttons to go to another section, I'd like for this animation to play (giving the effect of sort of closing a particular section) and then having another movie clip where the sliding doors open up in the incoming section to reveal that section. My problem is that I don't know what actionscript I'd use to achieve this. What code would I use on the nav button to make the first sliding door movie clip play, then have it move to the second sliding door movie clip and then finally go to the section labelled on the nav button.

I can target a movie from another movie just fine, but for some reason when I try to target a specific frame within a movie, from another movie that I'm already in, it will not work. All it does is replay the movie that I'm in. I've tried a million different combinations of code, searched the internet repeatedly, but found nothing that has worked; and I'm about to throw my computer out the window! I know this should be ridiculously simple but... I can't get it!
I'll try and explain what I'm trying to do in a simpler way: I have my Root > One >> Onetwo, Onethree. Onetwo and Onethree are in the movie One, and One is on the main level/root. I want a specific frame in Onethree to gotoAndStop on a frame in Onetwo. I know it sounds confusing but it's a terribly simple thing -- my code's just not working. I would copy and paste what I'm doing but I've done every single combination imaginable to me so I'd rather just have someone here tell me how they would accomplish this.

I'll try and make this as clear as i can, so as not to waste your time. I think it's something really simple i'm just missing...On the main timeline, i've got a movie clip ("mc_A") that contains two other movie clips ("mc_1" and "mc_2").at the end of it's timeline, I put a button in "mc_1" to play "mc_2". I'm using
on (release) {
telltarget ("_root.mc2") {
play () ;

this is weird, ive tried all my resources and cant come up with the solution.
heres the heirarchy
Main Stage
sampleStage_mc (this contains all my samples)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (this is the movieclip that houses my buttons)
............................................
what i want to happen is when you click on one of the button_mc, i want it to target a frame label on the "sampeStage_mc" timeline.
heres my code:
Actionscript Code:
toshibaBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toshibaSample);function toshibaSample(evtObj:MouseEvent) { parent.gotoAndPlay("toshiba");}
theres four timelines, here is the outline
button_mc (i click this and it runs the code in sampleStageNavigation timeline)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (timeline that holds the ActionScript and the button_mc)
sampleStage_mc (timeline - this is the one I need to access)
main stage (timeline)

Here's my example, on frame 1 is an mc I created named holder. Inside there's an mc named box. Inside box are four mcs, circles1-4, inside the circles I have four skulls. If I want to affect only the skulls, what is the proper way to go about it?For instance, whats the proper way to write a trace statement?or , if I wanted the skulls to fade individually on mouse over, how would you properly go about writing this function?
function over(evt:MouseEvent):void{

I have main MC when press it opens up and then has buttons in that MC.if main_MC is open then press it again will close it. Problem is I need to target the buttons inside main_MC but I can't cause it targets main_MC and thus closes the MCI tried doing main_MC.sub_MC.onPress = function ...... but it still targets the main_MC.

I have three small images on the stage in frame 1. I also have an invisible button symbol over one of the images and have given this button an instance name. On frame 2 there are the same three images but with a lower opacity level and also on this frame 2 is a movie clip instance containing an animation. I need an onRollover event connected to the button on frame 1 so that when the user rolls over it, the playhead jumps to frame two and shows the images and also plays the animation in the movie clip.
I've applied the following code to the button symbol on frame 1:
stop();
specialised_btn.onRollOver = function() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
and I've also put a stop action on the last frame of the animation within the movie clip in frame 1 so that it won't loop.
The problem is that when I test the movie, when you roll over the image on frame 1 it just continually loops between frames 1 and 2 - it doesn't play the animation on frame 2 as I thought it would.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to target a series of movie clips i'm attaching to my movie.I'm loading some xml for a slideshow and i'm generating a series of dots at the bottom of the screen to indicate how many steps are in the slideshow and the circle is meant to highlight your current position as you step through the presentation.the MC for the dots is two keyframes with a different color and a stop action on each frame.
Here's the rundown of the code:
1. There's nothing weird here, i'm just bringing the xml in [code]
2. Here is the loadXML function i reference in the xml.Data.onLoad above:[code]Okay so now i have some dots with the instance names, step0, step1 etc. right? And at the end of my loadXML function you see the firstImage(); function. This is where my problem is, how do i target the first (step0) instance? I have no problem when I write "step0.gotoAndStop(2);" but I need to figure out how to use a variable to keep moving it along when i make my next and last functions for the slideshow.
3. Here is the firstImage function:[code]how do i target the step the same way i target the image? do i have to go back and do something in the loadXML for loop?[code]

I'm creating a site with buttons (movie buttons) targeting a container clip on the root which targets transitions in external swfs. I'm having trouble with my code in targeting the container.
I know how to do It with a normal button but not with a button inside of a movie clip...
I can use movie buttons for this because they just look better.

I am having trouble targeting a movie clip that was dynamically generated from information in an XML document. Basically, what I want to do is be able to manipulate the movie clip after it was generated by the initial function. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to properly target the clip even though I am pretty sure I have the proper title and location (tried both _root. and _level0.).[URL]the string at the bottom - "_level0.mc_image2" - is the name of the last movie clip (with an image inside) to the right.

People using the form mailer decide to load it externally and when they do they discover that the form won't go to the "thank you" frame. The onClipEvent (data) I assume fires but then you have [code]on the main timeline of the external swf and that didn't work. What is the secret to firing an onClipEvent inside an externally loaded swf?

I am trying to target multiple tweens, trying to turn their visibility false/true. I have named each tween in the tween properties box, and I have targeted them like this: plane.plane2.tween1._visible=false (and so on), but no go! Only the first of the seven is actually affected--the others are not.
