I have short script (onClipEvent (enterFrame) {some code here}) that works well on movieClip that is on Stage. I've added the script to 'actions - movie clip' -window). But my problem is that movieclip should be attached dynamically usign actionscript, so I cannot add the script to the clip, as I used to.
View 1 Replieshow do you call an onClipEvent(enterframe) of a movieclip to happen when that movieclip is pressed?
[Code]...
when i type this in i get an error because on events cannot be nested within other on events. how can you get around this?
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.)

I am trying to reference a movieclip within a movieclip that I am loading using "attachmovie". In the first frame of the root, I am attaching the movie. Then, from the attached movie I am calling a function that is also in the first frame of the root. In the function I am tring to set the property of a clip within the attached movie to visible using the following code:
_root.logIn.loginMessage._visible = true;
I have also tried _root["logIn"].loginMessage._visible = true; with no luck.
(logIn is the name of the clip I am attaching using attachMovie and loginMessage is the clip I am trying to reference in the attached movie)
This is how I'm loading it and I know that part is working: _root.attachMovie("login_mc","logIn",getNextHighes tDepth());

The following is the chunk of my code that is attaching a movieclip (from timeline), tracing thisDot works so it is not the variable which is a problem but there is no rollover applied to the attached movieclip.

var dotObj:Object = new Object();
if (prevX != undefined) {
dotObj._x = newX;

I was wondering if there was any way to put code on an attached movieclip?

I posted this in Kirupa but unfortunately i did not receive any response from the community for 4 days now. I'm thinking perhaps somebody here can answer my long awaited explanation for this bug or phenomenon. I have a shape animation on the timeline from one keyframe to the next (3 keyframes). There is an orange movieclip under that mask with instance name "container". Now if i attempt to attach a movieclip to it at runtime, it will automatically get removed when it reaches the 2nd shape tween keyframe. All my code is in frame 1. Isn't that illogical? I know it works if i place it into a movieclip. I need an explanation to this (if its a bug) and a workaround other than repetitively attaching it from frame to frame.

View 1 RepliesI have a mc in the library, linkage is "del". Here is the code I use to attach to the movie
Code:
delbt.onPress = function () {
if (typeof(_root.del) == undefined) {
_root.attachMovie ("dele", "del", _root.getNextHighestDepth ());
_root['del']._x = 100;
_root['del']._y = 100;

This works fine to a point. In the "del" mc I have a button to remove "del" mc if no longer required.
Code:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(_root.del)
}
I discovered that this only remove the content and not the mc that holds it "del". So I tried
Code:
on (release) {
_root.del.removeMovieClip ();
}
But this does nothing.

I'm working with a MovieClip ("mainMenuItem") that is linked to a Class ("GenericMenuItem.as") that uses attachMovie to add another movieclip ("Arrow") to mainMenuItem as follows:mcArrow = this.attachMovie(prefix+"Arrow", "_Arrow_symbol", this.getNextHighestDepth());I'm able to use on(release) within the Class definition to capture clicks on the mainMenuItem component, but haven't been able to find a way to detect a click on the "Arrow" library item that gets attached to that component.

I have an AS3 project (publishing to FP10) where I load a custom made window from the main movie. The custom made window is saved in the Library and has a close button (called exitinteraction_btn).
I manage to load the window from the main movie with the following:
var WinA = new windowa(); addChild(WinA); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "x", Elastic.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "y", Strong.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true);
This is the code in my custom window (which I cannot manage to close and have it remove itself from the main movie when clicked):
exitinteraction_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeI);
function closeI(e:Event):void{ this.unloadAndStop();
}
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: unloadAndStop is not a function. at windowa/heyb()
I have a Flash Professionl AS3 project I am working on.
I have this in a main movie:
but1b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fbut1b, false, 0, true);
function fbut1b(e:MouseEvent):void{
var mc:documentwindow_mc=new documentwindow_mc();
mc.x=450;

The issue I have is I need to do this 40 times.
Is there a way for me to use the same documentwindow_mc movie clip and pass a variable to change the "documents/print2flashdocument1a.swf", part?
How could I do this from the fbut1b function?
The proposed task has to do with the creation of an application in which the user will be able to insert, drag&drop and remove rectangles. The properties of each rectangle (name,x,y) should be saved in an xml instance.
1.Create a vertical toolbar with the above buttons:
a.new rectangle
b.move
c.delete
2.Create a movieclip that will be your workspace on the right of your toolbar named stage.
3.Create a function that will be triggered by the new rectangle button and will attach to the stage rectangles as movieclips named rectangle(i) (rectangle1, rectangle2,...).
4.Create a function that will be triggered by the move button and will drag and drop a selected rectangle.
5.Create a function that will be triggered by the delete button and will remove a selected rectangle.
And what I have done so far is:
i = 1;
newrectangleButton.onRelease = function() {
stageMC.attachMovie("rectangleID", "rectangle"+i, i);
stageMC["rectangle"+i]._x = Math.random()*stageMC._x;

I have a layer called SCRIPT and on the first frame i put an actionscript that attach a movieclip (attachMovie). After i attach that movie clip i set the _x and _y coordinates to a specific place. This movie clip has a combo box inside.On another layer i have a button, when you click on this button i attach a movie clip (attatchMovie), this is the same movieclip i attached before on the first frame of SCRIPT layer.Here is the problem, when you click on the button for second time the movieclip attached go to coordinates 0,0.but, if a open the movieclip and delete the combobox everything works fine.Im including a very simple fla file to illstrate the problem, feel free to download it to see what im talking about.

I'm trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?
