Am I trying to have a movieclip not visible by default, and then visible after the load function is complete, but am having trouble getting it to work. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, it seems like it should be a simple enough task. Here is my code;

View 1 RepliesI created a dragable Textbox by attaching a Textbox to a MovieClip. The intention is to be able to modify the text dynamically as a MovieClip. It worked great, at least for some time. But now I experience the following problem: Windows Vista Browsers (IE, Firefox) with Flash 10 are not showing anything or only the MovieClip but no TextBox! Maybe a Flash version issue? Another thing I found might be the reason: "DepthManager classes in version 2"???
Here is the code:

My Flash file contains a movie-clip(Box1) that is exported for Action-script but it is not exported to Frame 1 in Linkage Dialog Box. Box1 has been put on frame-40 and the object is accessible in document Class but is not added to stage. However when it reaches to Frame 40, the object at Frame 40 get visible. My question is where is boxObj??
[Code]...
public function mc1():Void {
for (i=0; i<9; i++) {
c = c+30;
//here my_clip is a refrence to stage
var mc_new = my_clip.attachMovie("mc_bread", "bread_"+i, my_clip.getNextHighestDepth()+1, {_x:80, _y:385-c});
mc_new._visible = false;

See the function visibility I am trying to set visible a movieclip on a click of a button. this code gives no error but still movie clip is not visible.
I am trying to set up a code that will make a MovieClip visible = false when you press the spacebar then reapear when you hit the spacebar again. I had it working once but I lost the code somehow ... think I deleted the wrong file. the one time I got it to work I used a keylistener and stuck the code in the action panel on the timeline at frame 1.
I thought maybe there is a way to do the same thing but instead of the frame 1 action panel thing. I thought you might be able to set it up in a movieclip class action script file. I did these tutorials on the kongregate site ... shootorials and they teach you how to make a MC move with the arrow keys which was easy ... they had you make a ship into a movie clip then you created a new AS class file for the ship movie clip. Then they placed the code under the function onEnterFrame() in the ship class AS file which works well when you want to move something ... because it checks every frame.
I can set up what I want in that area just fine ... problem is it fires off every frame .. so my movie clip blinks on and off several times everytime I hit the spacebar. I just want it to disapear when you hit the spacebar then become visible again when you hit the spacebar again.
Seems like this should be a very easy thing to do but I spent all day reading through tutorials and searching google everything I tried all I did was run into one error or another when I tried to compile for a test.
I am very new to all this so the other thing that confuses me is the fact that you can put code in so many different places and depending on where it goes the same thing might be written a different way depending on where you write it.
I have a movieclip, an image at the same size as the movieclip (it's like the backgroundImage of the mc) and a textfield. I have first created a movieclip object 'my_mc' then I loaded an external image 'ld_image' I created also a TextField object 'txtField' with backgroundColor red
then I did:
Code:
my_mc.addChild(ld_image);
//my_mc size = ld_image size
After that I did:
Code:
my_mc.addChild(txtField);
addChild(my_mc);
but now the txtField isn't visible but my cursor changes if I go over it with my mouse.

I have a movieclip with the instance name of "container_mc" that I am loading a external swf file into.When I trace(container_mc._width) after the preload it returns 0.Is there any way to tell the movieclip to stay at a width of 760px and a height of 460px regardless of the content that is loaded?Reason being, I then have a function that positions the container_mc movieclip in the center of the stage based on the Stage.width/height..The only way I have been able to get this to work thus far is to have a 760px by 460px square shape, position the movieclip.. then load the content to replace the square shape however I'd rather be able to default everything without having to do that.
View 3 RepliesI'm completely new to AS3. Being completely new to actionscripting I found a tutorial on how to create a typewriter effect, which I have successfully made into a movie clip. My problem is that I want to stop the movie for the typewritten text to appear and make the movie pause for a pre-defined number of seconds and hereafter continue to the next scene or frame or whatever is the most easy.

View 1 RepliesWithin my code, I have a series of movie clips that are dynamic text fields created with the createTextField call. The text field is dragged and dropped onto a box. At that point I want to create a duplicate of that text field and to then position it on top of the box. The code appears to be creating a duplicate of the original clip and the traces are all successful, however, the actual movie clip is not displayed anywhere on screen. I feel that it has something to do with the depth. Originally, I was passing this.getNewHighestDepth to duplicateMovieClip but that seemed to result in my existing text fields disappearing instead!
Code:
function fnTagOnRelease(){
this.stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
if (eval(this._droptarget) != mc_DropBox){
//spring back to original position

This time I'm experimenting with visibility. All the tutorials online vary a lot. I'm trying to find something noob proof. I have actionscript 2 and 3. I'm not sure which one to use..I'm just trying to learn how to make a frame become visible and Play when I click on a movieclip.
View 5 RepliesI have an swf that plays a video (toobplayer component) and has two dynamic txt fields. The video and both txt fields are "fed" from an xml file. I also have a movie clip that loads an image on another layer and is set to an alpha of 0. Is there a way to use a conditional statement to check the video variable and if one is not present to change the image loading movieclip to an alpha of 100. here is what I am working with.[code]...

myMC.x = 50;
myMC.y = 50;
myMC.name = "hunterToken";
tCursos.addChild(myMC);
And it is created, so far everything's good
Later I try to access the visible property, and I get an error
Code:
tCursos.hunterToken.visible=false;
And I get this error:

I have some movieClips on stage which are draggable and I don't want them to be draggable outside of a visible stage area. Problem is these movieClips are inside a sprite which is panable and then for whatever reason this bounds doesn't work anymore as I intend it to. How do I fix this bounds?

var arr:Array = [m1,m2,m3,m4,m5,m6,m7,m8,m9,m10];

View 1 Replieson frame 1 I've got 10 movieclips and each movieclip has a toggle button to make it visible true and false.
How do write the script to do the following on frame 10?
if only 1 movieclip is visible make one_mc visible true
if only 2 movieclips are visible make two_mc visible true
if only 3 movieclips are visible make three_mc visible true
... so on for all 10 hope this make sense.
I have an array of movie clip instance names:
[Code]...
What I want to know is how I would go about making them all their default colors when you hit a movieClip instance that acts as a reset button. I can't seem to get it.
I have some AS that creates a movie clip and later tries to make it go away. However, _visible isn't working as I would think. Here's a sample: I create the triangle:
[Code]...
It doesn't work, however. So, I tried trace(triangle30._visible) both before and after the second chunk of code, and it does indeed change from true to false. However, the movie clip is still visible on the screen.
My question is: Set parentSprite.visible = false will make all children in parentSprite all invisible, right? And is there any way to just make parentSprite itself invisible without effecting it's children?
View 2 RepliesI want to click on an object and make it appear and disappear. As the object is rectangular, I figured putting a white button the same size on a white background on a layer underneath the object would do this, but I can't seem to make it happen.I'm a complete novice, frustrated as I've been trying to achieve this all day and I'm sure it should be pretty simple, but could you give me the idiots guide. I know how to name an instance, make an object, script in actions on a separate layer. I would like to draw the button myself and give it an instance rather than drag it off the button component (as I can't work out how to make the component button white, change its size etc.!)
