People using the form mailer decide to load it externally and when they do they discover that the form won't go to the "thank you" frame. The onClipEvent (data) I assume fires but then you have [code]on the main timeline of the external swf and that didn't work. What is the secret to firing an onClipEvent inside an externally loaded swf?

I loaded this "slider" swf into a "sliderHolder" on my index swf file. inside that loaded swf there's a movice clip called icon_mc. I'm trying to target it and make it go to a specific y position within that loaded swf on a MouseEvent inside the index.swf. I can't seem to make it work.I triedI have traced sliderHolder and it says it's empty.I have traced sliderLoader and it gives a Loader.So how do I access the movieClip if I just have those two as references?Here's what I have and want to do in code:

View 6 RepliesI have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.
I am trying to change the images the following calls up. (Using CS4 and AS 2.0)
onClipEvent (load)
{
imageProperties = _root.getCurrentImageName(0);
loadMovie(_root.url + imageProperties.name, this.cont.pic);
[code]....
I get that I could find the image in the directory and just change it out with the same name/pixel size, but I'd also like to add more images to this particular project with the same conditions.
I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)

(Using CS4 and AS 2.0)[code]Where is the getCurrentImageName calling the image up from? or..Where is the imageProperties.link ToOpen pointing to?Honestly, I get that I could find the image in the directory and just change it out with the same name/pixel size, but I'd also like to add more images to this particular project with the same conditions.I'm probably one of those girls that knows enough to cause more damage than good, so at least point me in the right direction.

I have 10 MC that are generated inside of a for loop. Each MC got another MC inside of it that is already sitting on the stage and has it's own instance ame applied! After that I put them inside of a MC container, that I also add dinamicly through the addChild method! But I have one issue when I want to change the position of the child MC(one that is sitting on the stage), through targetting to it's instanceName! The code I use:
Code:
var box1_mc:Box1 = new Box1();
var ball1_mc:Ball1;
var balls:Array = new Array();

I have a movie clip called curtain_mc with this actionscript inside:

I would like to change the variable 'f' from true and false by clicking a button but the actionscript on my keyframe doesn't recognize the actionscript in my movieclip? I know its a targeting issue, but not sure how to alter it in order for the two to talk to each other??

View 15 RepliesI'm trying to detect the event.target of another function in the same calsses.
ActionScript Code:
public function menus():void {
menuArray[i].button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
} private function btnOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
bgGlow();
} private function bgGlow():void {
square.x=[B]event.target.parent.x[/B];

Here is a simplified of the coding that I'm trying to target.
I am trying to target items inside a movieClip container. The container is called holder.
Inside holder I have a bunch of items such as other movieClips and TextFields.
How do I target, for example the TextField inside the holder clip??
Fore Example, I tried this, but doest work...
holder.textField.x = 100;
I'm trying to target a movieclip inside another movie clip which I have dynamically generated the name.
ActionScript Code:
firstText = "text" + randomNum;
_root[firstText].gotoAndStop(9);
[Code]....
The first part works, I can "firstText" and I can make it go to frame 9 and stop but I can't manipulate the movie clip "title_txt" which is inside "firstText"
So from the headline u know that i want to do but i don't know how to do it!
ActionScript Code:
/// activate the mc with the button from the main Menu
mathSecondMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, otvoriVtoroMenu);
[Code]....
the problem is that i can get to the button from the first event, but i can make the Mc "proba" to go to "math_basic"!
I am working on my school website and I am working on the timeline of my school history, but I got stuck. This is what I wrote:
ActionScript:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;

} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

The problem is when I click the button again when it is scrolling, the order would mess up...
Here is the swf: [URL]
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 a main.swf which loads a sub.swf. Inside the sub.swf is a button instance (myBtn). How do I access myBtn from main.swf timeline?

I'm assuming it's something with the gotoAndPlay function... but I've tried numerous things with that and nothing is working.
The result I traced keep on coming back as the last in the list.It seems like the xmlList is not assign to different MC.

Okay I'm working on a pretty big project, and the last thing I need to do is get this content to display. Here's my lil problem. So I'm loading buildings, and when clicked on, I'm loading a movieclip from the library that has a slideshow movieclip on the first frame, however this slideshow is packaged externally. This slideshow has a "xmlPath" that is defaulted to a XML file. My question is... what kind of code can I use to control which xml is loaded when loading that packaged slideshow?

I have been searching for an answer to this and can't seem to find one for AS3:I have a scroll pane component that dynamically loads a movie clip from my library. This movie clip has buttons inside that I would like to access from my main timeline. I can't figure out what my target path should be (for AS3).In AS2 it appears that it would be something like this:scrollpaneName.spContentHolder.inside_btn...AS3 doesn't recognize spContentHolder though so it must be something different...
View 4 RepliesOk, i bought a scroller that works well scrolling content. With elasticity and stuff.
My problem is trying to access buttons inside the scroller.
I have an instance of the scroller component on stage and named it Scroller. I set the content in its component inspector. It loads a movieclip from the Library called Panel. Inside the Panel i have 2 buttons. button1 and button2. If i publish everything works fine.
Now i am not very good at AS3. How do i access the buttons. i've tried this among other bits and pieces i found on the web.
Scroller.Panel.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, somefunction);
Can't get it to work. I know the Panel movie out of the library that the Scroller component loads needs to be somehow listened for but i don't have a clue.
how to access the buttons without getting an error

I'm working on an interactive map of the united states in which each state is a button inside a movie clip. The states get larger and move up in depth when you go over them then shrink back down when you mouseout. All of this (finally) is working right.I wanted it to work so that when you clicked on a state it sent you to a seperate page for that specific state..[code] with a seperate link for each movie clip on the stage of course. Now, when I test this in Flash it opens up an explorer window for every single state when I click on one.When I put the swf on a website and use it, each state I click on links me to California for some reason.I'm sure it's just the syntax and then way I'm setting this up but I don't know of a better way to do it without having to redo tons of my actionscript for each state. If anyone knows a quick solution or a better approach I would appreciate it!
