i got this scramble text effect at this siteand when u rollover the text it does the scramble text effect i wanted to know if u can also put a on release function and have it load an swf into and empty movie clip
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
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'm doing a little project where I have a movie clip with 2 frames, the second frame has a video in it that's a movie clip, I have a on(release) on the movie clip, but it's not doing anything when I click is the outer movie clip stealing clicks from the one inside or something? oh, also the outer movie clip is being used as a button as well because it zooms in or out when you click it, so that might be another problem

View 3 RepliesI have a Movie Clip which has a button and animated image on 2 layers, there is also some action scipt to control how the layers work.The Movie clip sits in my main windows and what I need to do is make the movie clip action open a swf external file in the movie clip holder I have made, I have acomplished the orignal external file to load, but now need to add diffrent files to the Movie Clip buttons.here is the base code for loading the original external file\ Code \loadMovie("news.swf","movieholder");
View 4 RepliesI'm making a site in Flash MX, and I have dynamic text boxes so that the data can be easily changed. For navigation I'm using rollover buttons.
My rollover buttons are actually movie clips. I don't like to use buttons for rollover animations because when you roll off of them, they jump back to their normal state without a smooth transition. This doesn't look too good.
When a user navigates the site and clicks, I want the rollover buttons to load up dynamic text in 2 different boxes (header and content) from a .txt file on the server.
I did this successfully with regular buttons, but for some reason, the exact same actionscript doesn't work with the movieclips. How come? I did this from a tutorial on this site. Heres my code for the movie clips:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("roll_on");
}

Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:
[Code]....
But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
I am trying to find a way to make a movie clip resize larger on mouse release, then resize back to the original size on a second mouse release. I have tried many ways to do this but seem to be unable to come up with a solution. I have been using mc Tween.

I 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:
[Code]...
The 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'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

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 have a movice clip of a container "traveling" down a conveyor belt. I duplicate this movie 30 times (to simulate 30 items moving down the line). The code I'm trying is below.My problem. When the 2 duplicate clip item is created - I want to pause the duplication, (stopping items on the conveyor belt) play a movie clip (next to second item to explain what has happened), then continue duplication, stop duplication again at eighth item, (do similar to #2) play another movie clip - then continue all duplication until I hit 30. At which point they all start falling off the conveyor belt.
// NOTE, this is a movie clip, not on the main timeline...so all control needs to happen in this movie clip's timeline
delay = 1
count = 0
i = 0

This is a "is it possible question". I have a series of buttons that navigate within this flash file. Although the entire project has a screen movie clip on a seperate layer over top of everything. This screen contains rollover event listeners that change depending on where you move the mouse. Is it possible to have the mouse pass through the first movie clip and control the button underneath as well as the rollover event listener on top?
View 1 RepliesI have the following functions that fade a movie clip in and out
Code:
fadeAmount = 1;
function fadeIn() {
this._alpha += fadeAmount;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
[Code] .....
And then I call the movie clip to start fading in and appear on stage
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 0;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
What I need is some way to tell the movie "after you reach alpha 100, stay there for x seconds and then fade out" and execute this code:
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 100;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;Aafter it reaches alpha = 0 it should stop and stay there without looping back and starting to fade in again.
I'm trying to use a movie clip's function from a fellow movie clip 2 children up and I can't find the right code. I've used:
MovieClip(datalist.getChildByName("content")).onpauseButton();
MovieClip(datalist.root.root.root).onpauseButton();
MovieClip(datalist.scrollb.content).onpauseButton();
MovieClip.(datalist.onpauseButton);
and none of them work. The function is "onpauseButton" and it is inside of "content" which is inside of "scrollb" which is inside of "datalist." I'm trying to call it from datalist's neighboring movie clip so that it activates along with another function:
manualButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadFile_1);
function fl_ClickToLoadFile_1(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest("M-23 6263.pdf"), "_blank");// want to add the onpauseButton code here
}
I recall that there is a way to do it, I just can't find the right sequence. Everything online is about how to call up to a function outside of the movie clip and not down to a function inside of one.
i have about 40 buttons in one movie clip called showmcall i have a massive movie clip that covers all of the movie clips , i've tried disabling the buttons by disabling the movie clip :
ActionScript Code:
showmcall.enabled = false ;
but that didnt disable the buttons.
Does anyone one know if it is possible to call a function from a different movie clip than the one it is in. For example, a function named loadData() which is on the first frame of a movie clip instance named thumbNail which is on level 0 on the stage i was thinking that it should work to call the function from frame one on the stage with..
View 5 RepliesSo I want to make some movie clips function as buttons to load some external swfs. I have this action script on the mc's:
on (release)
{
loadMovie("Chuck.swf", "motionmc");
}
It was working when it was a button, but now nothing happens?
Sorry to have to post a secondary thread...but i've had responses to the previous one and now a new problem exists. Why am I having to multiple click my button to make this function work? On each release of the button 'SUB' moves that little bit more but I need the function to work in one go after just one click!! Something is obviously working for it to move at all, I just dont understand why it's moving in stages!!

I just need to call a variable or function from a movie clip to main timeline. In AS2 I would use something like:
_root.myvar = "Hola";
or
_parent.myfunc(4,2);
But this doesn't works on AC3. I tried to remove the "_" but its the same.
I have 3 different functions for my preloader. I have an Event.OPEN, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, and an Event.COMPLETE. In the event.OPEN function, I create a new variable that is data typed to the class name of my preloader that I set in it's property dialogue box. This is just a simple circle animation.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI've an empty array and some global variables, and I have two movie clips in my library: one is a trigger, second is the movie clip that is placed on the stage when the trigger is activated (a testdummy, if you want).
var dummies:Array = [];
var i:int = 300;
var j:int = 500;
var k:int = 0;
[Code].....
...I get an obvious error : Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 66 1120: Access of undefined property dummy. Because dummies are created within a function. I don't have any trouble addressing items in the 'dummies' array though.
Though dummies are crated by the same pattern, data stored in them is the whole point of creating the application.
how can I apply a function to each of those dummies, which is executed on click and affects only one dummy?
I 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);
}
Suppose I have three different movie clips. mc_A, mc_B, mc_C I want to have a rollover call a function that changes each movie clip. But I don't want to type it out like this:
Code:
mc_A.onRollOver = function() {
Explode.newExplosion(mc_A);
};
mc_B.onRollOver = function() {
[Code]...
Above you will see that I used this, it made sense to me, but this always refers to the main timeline (root in my case). So how do I pass the name of hte clip I am rolling over to a function?
I'm having an issue with a simple movieclip onRollOver event. Here's my code:
Code:
_root.mc_shutternav.mc_nav_8.onRollOver = over;
_root.mc_shutternav.mc_nav_8.onRollOut = out;
_root.mc_shutternav.mc_nav_8.onRelease = hit;
[code]....
However, with this setup the function hit() is called automatically every time I publish the movie. What's wrong with this? What's the difference between mc.onRelease = function; and mc.onRelease = function()?
Ok I have created a function that tweens a box on to the stage and this function is attached to every btn on stage. What i can figure out is how to create a function to get it to go to a frame the movie clip that comes in. I have attached the fla and when you go to the main stage you will see a blk box off stage in that box in where i want when someone clicks the button it goes to a specific frame label.

Hmm, I replicated this situation in a blank movie and it works as it should.
i'm trying to remove a function from a movieclip, is there a way of doing this, so I keep the movieclip on stage but removes the onPress etc? I'd also want to be able to reapply that function the movieclip later.
View 2 RepliesI have a child movie clip attached to the parent via the flash interface. The child is running a timer via code on its (the child's) timeline. When the timer finishes it needs to trigger a function on the parent's timeline. All the examples show how to trigger a function on the child - that is easy and I have got that working.
