I have a mc (instance name "button_mc" on main timeline which has other mc buttons on the 10th frame of its ("button_mc") timeline.All my actions are on the top layer of the maintimeline
button_mc.onRollOver = function() {
gotoAndStop(10);
}

I`m experiencing problems with an XML menu. It works fine, but when I try to insert it into a mc other than the main timeline it stops working. I believe that I have trouble with the names of the mc (or instance name). could the "menu" in this string be a signifier for an instance (mc) ??

How would I reference a button instance on the main timeline in the actionscript within a movie clip symbol?For example: btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, main1Over);where btn1 is an instance of a button on the main timeline but is not found within the symbol itself.I will then be dragging that movie clip onto the main timeline when it's finished.
View 3 RepliesI have 3 functions in my main document class that I want to execute when the main timeline reaches a particular frame number. how do I do that?

why the timeline inside these movie clips and the timeline on the main scene have to correspond to work. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI cannot seem to find anything of what I need from google.(Well, I can find the reverse method to what i need ) Basically I wish to access a variable declared in the Root Timeline from my Movie clips timeline.

I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.
View 4 RepliesI am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.

I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.
The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).
How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.
so here's the function on main stage:

and here's the code that wants to call this function in a another movie clip. I've attached this clip dynamicaly to the main stage as well.

How can i acess slideImage function on the main stage. in AS2 _root.slideImage(btnNumber); would work. How Would I do this in AS3?
I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.
View 5 RepliesI have a magic cloud effect. On frame 30 of the nested effect I would like an mc on the main timeline to become visible.Not too sure how to code with frame numbers,a) Do I put AS on the timeline of the nested clip ORb) Write code on the main timeline to listen for when the nested mc gets to frame 30

Say I have a variable that contains an instance of a class. Is there any way to return a "Class" object based on what type that variable is? I wish there was something like this:
[Code]...
I am able to extract the class name in text format, and even all items that it extends and interfaces, yet I cannot find any way to create a class based on I did find the function "getDefinitionByName()" and "getClassByAlias()", but if I understand correctly, you have to first register those definitions. Also, is it possible to extract usable Classes (not just display objects) out of externally loaded SWFs?
I have a main swf that loads different swfs files, one of this swf files is the homepage with navigation items, how can I pass a reference to the loaded home.swf of the main.swf which contains the load methods?
I try creating a var in the home.swf class with the main.swf class type, but the home.swf give me errors that cant find other objects contains in the main.swf
I am using onLoad and onEnterFrame events to dynamically align my_mc. The problem I face is the following:When I put my code in the mc instance it works beautifully but when I put it in the timeline it does not work.[code]I assume it is something tiny, perhaps it is an issue with the correct paths of x and y. I tried in many ways changing paths to this._x and my_mc._x but unsuccessfully.
View 1 Replies have a MovieClip that's called 'enemy1'. It is using a class called 'Enemy'. Is it possible to control my enemy1 MovieClip's timeline from the Enemy class?
For example I want to run an if check and see if current frame inside my MovieClip is currently 15. (I have animation inside my MovieClips)
When I do something like this inside Enemy.as:
Code:
if(this.currentFrame == 15)
{
this.stop();
}
I get error messages like: Line 271119: Access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Enemy. Line 291061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a reference with static type Enemy.

I spent my holyday in studing new Flash 9, very good, powerfull but I doesn't find anymore my root, in teory is transformed in stage.root but it doesn't work.I want to understand if I make a mistake in my code or in my approach.I make a simple example with a few object containers.In the firsts lines of the constructor of the mail class I create the style class named tf and then the interface class called interf.Here is my class
Code:
package test {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import test.tf;[code]....
how to get the tf1 Object that as to be in stage.root.mytf.tf1 as some documentation say? If you doesn't comment that line you have an error. Obviously you can carry with you the object because is a small object with a few nidification but It seems to me very very bad for performance and code.
I have searched the archives here, but cant get a clean answer on this.I am loading an external SWF sucessfully, but I need to manipulate a MovieClip instance within that external SWF from the main file.
Code:
// SLIDE 1 IMAGE LOADING
var slide1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var image1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("slides/1.swf");
slide1Loader.load(image1);
slide1.slideImage.addChild(slide1Loader);
That is the successful code to bring it in - but now I need to be able to use a movieclip within it called COPYMC
[URL]about 30 seconds into this flash, there is an FLV of a computer screen. The problem is, when I pause the swf, the flv keeps going. How do I get around this?1. Is it possible to convert the flv to swf?OR2. Is it possible to control the flv from the main timeline?
