ActionScript 2.0 :: OnPress On Movieclip Not Working?
Jan 23, 2011
I have created a simple grid on my canvas.First I defined an empty movieclip (wrapper) for my grid, then I draw lines onto it to make the grid.Now, I want to click on the grid and get the x/y of where I clicked so I can determine where in the grid i am. But my trace in the onPress event does not show.I'm under the impression that my mcGrid has a 0x0 width and height. When I trace the mcGrid._width in the bottom it outputs "0" so maybe that's why it is not working? Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mcGrid", 1);
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var clipName = "mcHorizontal_"+i;
[code]....

I`m working on a presentation template....I`m gettin along ok, with fullscreen, presentation mode etc. However, the classic click and goto next slide aint working so good. yet.I`ve been trying to set som sort of action: onPress.Nextframe but it is not working. Also, I`m trying to create the reverse fx, let`s say when I hold down shift (for example) and then click - the "presentation" should play backwards.

I'm trying to make an onPress function for a MC inside a MC and I have figured it will look something like this:
_root.mc1.mc2.onPress = function(){}
It won't work though. What to do? (Now I see, I have that mc2 on the 2nd frame inside mc1... if I put it also on the first frame it works fine, but I don't want it on the first frame).

I am trying to build a drop down menu using fuse kit. I somewhat understand the fuse kit, or the stuff I need to alpha, slide, tween and the whatnots. I have a menu button, (button_mc) press it once and the sub menu appears. Press it again and the sub menu disappears But how do I write the code. So It will work?
button_mc.onPress1 = function() {
Some code that make the menu appear
} button_mc.onPress2 = function() {
Some code that make the menu disappear

I have a scrollBar movieClip inside an interface that is not always responding to the onPress event. Sometimes, it works fine, and sometimes I have to roll off of the scrollBarMC for the cursor to change back to the finger and respond to the onPress event. Other times, it responds more than once to the event on just one click.
I realize that there could be other issues within my interface's code, however, when I trace my function calls they seems to not execute or execute more than once. Has anyone else ever run across such an issue with the movieClip.onPress event? Below is the code for the scrollBar mc. Anyone see something glaring?

So far I have created/hacked about some code for an infinite scrolling menu bar, and am trying to create the rollover and release actions for each menu title. After researching it seemed best that the buttons were made from movies clips as apposed to the 'button' type, but I am not sure if this is the case. The problem I am having is that I am unable to get the Contact movie clip to recognise the onPress or an onRollOver and I am not sure why. The .fla file is available here and this is the code I tried to get it to work.
Code:
_root.scrolling_mc._root.menu_mc._root.contact_mc.onPress = function () {
if(contact_mc.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true) ) {
trace("Does this button work?!");
}
I also tried:
Code:
_root.scrolling_mc._root.menu_mc._root.contact_mc.onRollOver = function () {
trace("Does this button work?!");
}
I understand I am probably on the wrong tracks with the use of _root. but I need to somehow trigger the nested movieclips.

In my FLA file (FLASH-8, AS-2)? in the library I have a movieclip named "mc" which is just one frame and in it specifies a property "price" like this: this.price="three";
In the main scene I have this code:
attachMovie("mc","t1",1)
t1.onPress=function(){trace(t1.price)}; //returns the correct value "three"
trace(t1.price); //returns "undefined"
Why the first trace(t1.price) returns the correct value and the second one returns "undefined"?And how do I make this property available without using onPress? The objective is to output the pictures of a set of movieclips and place the price of each picture under it using a dynamic textfield

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};
[Code]....
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.

I've created a movieclip of a trashcan, which falls over and 6 items fall out of it. I want each of these items to become a button, which will jump to a different point on the timeline.
The movieclip is all working fine, and the buttons appear to be fine. The problem is when I publish the flash, the movieclip resets each time I hover over one of the buttons, so i get an endless loop of this trashcan falling over and the items falling out.

I have a movieclip with onPress and I attach another movie to the first one. Unfortunately, the second movie inherits the onPress function from the first one. How can I remove the onPress function from the second movie? I tried to set it's onPress and onRelease to null and undefined but no success.

I've made 2 swf's. One is navigation with a movieclip named "connn" where another swf of content being loaded into it. The second swf is the content consists of a scrollable bar of thumbnails at the bottom, loading particular content on the stage. For the contents swf, I've this script on each of the thumbnail
PHP Code:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("framename");
}
which framename is marked on the top level of the flash, with a movie clip of a couple of images swaping. And this work perfectly. [URL]
PHP Code:
loadMovie("services_web.swf",this.connn);
which load the content into the movie clip named "connn". It got no problem loading the swf in but I discover that after it is loaded, the thumbnail script of the content failed to work. (please see: http://mr-otto.com/wd/services.html under WEB/INTERACTIVE > websites)
I guess that is the problem of the _root. thing and perhaps changing this I can have it work as perfect as it can be even being called in another swf.

I can place the following code on a movieclip:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
gravity = 0.2;
yspeed = 0;

And it'll work fine, however if I place it like this on a frame in the movieclip:
PHP Code:
this.onLoad = function() {
gravity = 0.2;
yspeed = 0;
[code]....
It doesn't work

I created a symbol (Movie Clip) for my library, and I can manipulate all of its properties except for one—alpha. Here is a sample of the code:
var range:Range = new Range(); // Range is the symbol in my library, and has been exported for ActionScript
range.alpha = .1; // Doesn't seem to work as the symbol is still at 100% opacity.
_buffer.draw(range, range.transform.matrix); // This is where I draw the symbol to the buffer
Everything draws fine, but it is as if the alpha property is not working.
P.S. - If anyone knows, should I use a Graphic for my symbol instead of a Movie Clip if I only have one frame?

I'd like to get more of the actionscript into class files and off the various time lines. The problem is I can't make it work. I have a class file called dezynworks.aegis.TextPanel Container.I have a MovieClip in my library called TextScrollWinow. Linkage for TextScroll Window: Identifier, TextScrollWindow; class: dezynworks.aegis.TextPanelContainer. Now I read on a web site that dragging the clip to the stage would retain the class association. That is news to me. I thought you had to use attach. Regardless, neither way seems to work.[code]The attach works. The clips appear on the stage, but the class is gone. dummy.init() (a method of the TextPanelContainer class) is never called and the instanceof statement returns false. There are no compiler errors. There are no runtime errors. I've set up test cases in a new Flash file and it all works like I expect.I've tried deliberately gumming up the class name and introducing syntax errors into the class file. It seems Flash is finding the file okay. Something must be failing silently, but I have no clue what and I'm out of ideas.

i'v created two buttons, Start and Stop, that I've have put into a movieclip. I've done so beacause I only want the user so see one button at a time. (I've managed to make it work with 2 buttons, but I'd like to know why it doesn't work with a movieclip and 2 buttons)
So when the user clicks the "Start" button the sound starts playing and the movieclip is set to frame 2 where the stop button is. So far so good, but when I'm trying to click the "Stop" button nothing happens. Here's the AS:
PHP Code:
stop();
current_mp3 = "audio.mp3";
function primeSound() {
mySound = new Sound();
