if i have a movie clip with the instance mov1 and a button on a different layer called button1.. how can i make mov1 blur using action script?
View 5 RepliesI have a movie clip named button1 and in this movie clip there is a dynamic text named txt
public function mouse_down(event:MouseEvent)
{
if(event.target==button1)
{
...//this only recognizes when i click the button without intersecting the dynamic text area
}
if(event.target==button1||event.target==button1.txt)
i would like to know why it dosen't recognize clicks made in the area that contains the dynamic click if i don't specify it, because txt is part of button1, so normally i would only need to check if the target is button1 but it dosen't work:i also have to check if the target is button1.
I placed a movie clip instance inside a button, and I want this movie clip to play when the button is released. I'm using this code on the frame containing the button:

I have created a movie clip button but am stuck with the actionscript. I have created the rollover and rollout for this movie clip button but i want it to do 2 things after this i want it to go and stop on the first frame of a movieclip which has my content on it called portfoliogallery_mc (which is also the same instance name for it) when you then click the button i want it to go and play frame 11 of that movie clip portfolio gallery_mc. Here is my current actionscript i HAVE Flash 8 on my comp that i am currently using. Please note my actions are on a layer called actions and not on the movieclip button itself. nxtimagetwo_mc (is the movie clip button/instance of mc)

I need to know how to make a button called Textchange that detects if the movie clip Meditext is playing, and if it is then largetext will start playing and Meditext will stop. But if it isn't playing, then nothing happens.
View 2 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
I want to do something like gotoAndPlay(frame label) for a movie clip with the instance name content. I am using an array for my buttons placing multiple instances of the button mc on the stage. When I add content.gotoAndPlay I get an access of undefined property error. If I add it inside the parenthesis I get an expecting identifier before my frame label name error.

I've created an button object in flash. The button contains 2 layers. One is the background image and on top of it is a textField. The textfield is dynamic. I use the button inside a movieclip and I export it in a SWC. The I'm trying to use it in flex.
I'm trying to do this:
var myComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
myComponent.button01.theTextField.text = "Caption";
I get and instance of the button(myComponent.button01 is not null in Flex debugger), but the instance of the textField(myComponent.button01.theTextField) is null and I'm not able to change the text(but the default text appears onscreen). The code is compiled correctly in flex.
I exported the in swc the button control as well. So the button is not the default SimpleButton from Flash, but an derived class generated by flash(with the same name as the symbol defined in flash). It contains theTextField memeber, which is null.
Here is the button timeline(Layer 2 contains the textfield, and the textfield instance is named theTextField):
How can i remove a movie clip after 10 seconds when it was called
View 1 RepliesI need to create new object, but in a layer that is below the tope one. So far I tried some commands:
PHP Code:
_root.attachMovie(...);
- this one creates object above all other. Changing depth doesn't change anything when it's about objects I put manually in editor.
PHP Code:
_root.layername.attachMovie(...);
- this one doesn't work at all.

View 6 RepliesI have a text box movie clip called Text_mc. The Text_mc contains the number "1".I need this number to be updated daily at 12:00am by adding "1" to the existing number.

I want to generate a maximum of 5 childs in a clip called 'placeholder' using a button (placeCloud_1). the childs will 'float' to the top of the stage. when the y=0 the child must be removed (using the function checkPos() ) so i can add another child without exceding the number of 5 childs.
Everything works, except for the removeChild! i've tried removeChild(this) , this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(mc), placeholder.removeChild(this) etc... and nothing works. When using (this) it throws TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@2f6710d1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

when using (mc) it throws
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

im adding some button movieclips to a swf and for some reason its programmed to always have the dynamic hovers on top, i need to add a few static buttons on top of the dynamic hovers. here is what i tried but it still isnt working
Code:
this.attachMovie("placeholder_mc", "placeholder_mc2", 1000, {_x:150, _y:200});
is there a way to attach the placeholder_mc at the absolute top layer even over the hovers?
I made a movie on the main timeline that involves a couple armature layers. Now I want to put the whole thing into a single movie clip. Flash won't let me, because apparently I can't use the Cut Frames command when armatures are involved.
View 2 RepliesThe code below adds all the childrens of specific movie clip to the array called arrayBox. The next loop SHOULD loop through all the items inside arrayBox and check if any of those items (those items are all movie clips) is colliding with movie clip which isn't in array called avatar. If so, it should pop up the output and change some variable, but the point is that something with second loop is wrong...

each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following

I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
