I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.
View 6 RepliesI really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

Is it possible to add a child state to a movie clip that is already placed on stage,i need to do this so i can move the movieclip to the top of the display list.
View 8 RepliesThe problem is, i need to detect the quantity of movieclips that a child movie clip is over A movie clip is over several boxes and that boxes are MC, in the image for example when i drag the child MC, this is over some movie clips but i cant detect which movieclips are.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to remove a child movie clip in a function, the movieclip was added in another function The code is below,
function navigate(evt:MouseEvent):void {
clip_holder.removeChild(mc_holder);
var mc_holder:MovieClip = new section2();
clip_holder.addChild(mc_holder);
}
I have added a listener function for mouse event
bar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,mouse_over_bar);
And defined the function
public function mouse_over_bar(ev:MouseEvent):void{
var hover:MovieClip=new Hvr();
var tween:Tween;

How i remove this child movieclip hover? I would like to remove the chil when i am roll out from the bar.
i am trying to use the Tween class to change the size of movie clip to certain height.the code works for me but when resizing the parent, it effects the child.i tried the height and scaleY property for the thum, but does not work.

I am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

I would like play head of a movie clip to return to a certain frame of that clip so a MC inside it would loop. I now have: stop(); as the action.
View 2 RepliesThe question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.

for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){

I have a gallery which is created from the following scipt:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("images",100);
this.attachMovie("mask","mask",101);
etc....,
with the gallery still present i want a movie clip to appear ON TOP of this.
How is this done? i understand i need to set the z level but cannot find a simple explanation of how to do it. I do not want the image to be transparent (i've found lots of explanation on how to do this!)

If you have a movie clip and assign to it via the onClipEvent (Load) OR simply the movieclip.onLoad a whole bunch of data (properties of that movieclip):
When you duplicate that movieclip, does it duplicate all the actionscript contained within? I'm thinking it does, but I am wondering if someone can confirm... and explain.
I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?
Is there a way to assign a label to frame of a movie clip with AS?
View 2 RepliesI know this should be do-able, but i am stumped... I created a row of movie clip buttons + eventListeners (CLICK) with a for-loop. i now want to take an array that consists of a list of swfs (i.e., var myArray:Array=new Array(); myArray=["thing.swf","dog.swf",more.swf",etc}--and programmatically assign a loader + URL request to each of the created movie clip buttons that will load the swfs on the button click.

View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip on stage with several other movie clips inside of it. How do I refer to each child so I might do stuff to it? I have done it once before by name, but I'd rather not rely on names:
private function setUpHotSpots():void {
// loop through all the hot spots, hide them, and assign event handlers
var i:int;
var numberOfHotSpots:int = hotSpots_mc.numChildren;

I have 2 movie clips, let's call them mcParent and mcChild. mcParent is a movie clip on the stage, and mcChild is a movie clip inside mcParent.I want to listen and execute a function (which is defined on the first frame of the stage), when mcChild is clicked. So I add the following script on the 1st frame of the main clip (stage):
Code:
mcParent.mcChild.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickChild);
function clickChild(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("click");
}
The clickChild function, however, is never called. So for whatever reason I am not receiving the event.
PS: I cannot add the event to mcChild. I know, that would be easy, but I need to have it this way, because when mcChild is clicked, I want to fade out mcParent (the clip that is on the stage).
I am designing a site which has a movieclip, say parent_mc, and inside that movieclip there is a movieclip child_mc which has a 10sec animation. In the document class I have created an instance of parent_mc and added it to the display list [code]...
Now this adds makes the child movie clip play over and over so I want to stop it right at the beginning, and add eventlisteners to play it. But how can I stop it in the beginning?
I have a portfolio page with several trailer thumbnails (a portfolio list). If you click on each, the page changes and you see the trailer in a video player, plus more info about the film. I used two frames in the timeline: the first frame has the clip with the thumbnails (port_list). The second frame has a movie clip container and the video player. The idea is that pressing the respective button from port_list will load the details of that movie and the movie into the video player. I am using this script:
ZSQ_but.onRelease = function (){
_parent.gotoAndStop("por_details");
myplayer.contentPath = "videos/ZSQ.flv";
por_details_cont.attachMovie("ZSQ_details","ZSQ_de tails",0);
}
Even though the script looks alright (and works alright if at the root level), it will not work from the child clip. What am I doing wrong??
I have a movie clip on the main timeline calledbg_graphics, I want to target a movie clip within that movieclip called bg1_mc. to gotoAndPlay frame 2.The bg_graphics clip goes to a random frame within that movieclip, there are 3 frames. 1st has bg1_mc, 2nd has bg2_mc, and 3rd has bg3_mc. How could i determine which file to gotoAndPlay frame 2 in bg_graphics when i don't know exactly which frame its going to be on, let alone target a movie clip within a movie clip.I used this code to generate the random frame
function randomBg() {
//generate random BG based on random frames within the MC
randFrame = random(3)+1;[code].....
I have two main clips with clickable clicks within each. I am using swapDepths on the two main clips in a tab navagation fashion. The problem is that if I click on the space between the nested clips in the top clip it actually is hitting the buttons(movieclips) on the other clip under it. Any suggestions?
