I am trying to send a value from one of my xml nodes (<marker>) by declaring it in a function 'showData' as a variable 'XMLMarker'. If I trace this value (XMLmarker) it returns the right data found in the node <marker> (which is 'myMarker_mc'). However, I need to tell the stage that myMarker_mc is a MovieClip...please see the 'PROBLEM' stated in the code below.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>
<place name= "Yogyakarta">
[code]....
why do you want a variable to hold the value in the node <marker>, when that value is identical for each node, ie. it is always 'myMarker_mc', so why not just directly declare the variable 'xmlMark' as myMarker_mc. The reason is; the value in some of the <marker> nodes will soon be changing to 'myMarker_mc2' - a slightly different movieClip which I may need to call depending upon which place @name is chosen.This is the new output thrown up by the variable XMLmarkers
Code:
<marker>
myMarker_mc
<myText>

I'm relatively new to Flash and ActionScript and have a problem with the following code I'm putting together:
Code:
// creating a new testmclip object
var testmclip = new testmclip(); // creating a new testmclip object
/* create a new pop up menu
- sending the testmclip as var and "test" as label */
popupmenu = new Menu ([path: testmclip, label: "test"]);
I'm trying to send a movieclip object created in one class, to a different class - for the latter class to add as it's child. The code was originally Kevin Hoyts Android Component for Menu and MenuItem [URL] ... but in that the path for the menuitem was a path which loaded from url or relative path --> this I can't do with flash...I think.

I am brand new to AS3 and just about muddled through with AS2. I have a problem which should have a simple solution but everything I try gives errors.I had a load of buttons on the main timline which worked fine. I have moved a load of them into another movieclip called flyoutMenu. Now none work and I get the error:Error #1065: Variable about is not defined.This is the code stripped down to one button:[code]

I have a client who wants to add something to a flash presentation that is almost done. There is a root swf that is pulling in a nav screen swf, which in turn is pulling in the text screen swf of that corresponding nav swf. So at the start, the root swf automatically loads nav1.swf, and nav1.swf automatically loads text1.swf. Once that plays, the next button loads nav2.swf into the root swf, and in turn, nav2.swf automatically loads text2.swf onto it. I hope that makes sense. So all the text is going to be on the screen with pix, etc, and we are going to have a VO speak the text. The VO will be on the text swf files since there is fading of pix, text, etc and we need it to match. With it almost done, the client wants a mute button added to the thing.
The question is, if the mute button is on every text swf file, is there some variable that I can pass that would keep the next text swf file from playing it's VO? The client doesn't want people to have to keep clicking the mute button with every page. I know, I know, if I knew they wanted a mute button, I never would have built it this way. It's going on the web, and I figured for loading purposes, this was the best way. Now I think Im screwed... Or rather, they are. They approved this. But can it be done? Can I pass a variable from either the root swf or the navs swf files that tells the incoming text swf files to stay muted?

I have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up. I have two buttons on the dialog box, but for some reason you can't click on them and when you do, the dialog box just disappears. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, so how do i get the "YES/NO" buttons to work? Oh, the buttons are not included in that Graphic

I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).
ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) {
var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",

I am creating a quiz and I set one quiz block with questions into a movieclip. When the person answers the correct answer I want it to add to a counter and pass that value onto the next movieclip. So movieclip one is added to the stage it does something then adds a counter. Then moves to the next frame and movieclip2 is added to the stage. It does something and add to the same counter variable from movieclip1. And so on and so on until no more movieclips.

I need to create a variable inside a MoveClip. The easiest way to do this is to click on a movieclip in the editor and just enter the actionscript on a frame, but because i'm doing this with dynamically created movieclips i need to do it with actionscript.
PS: I'm doing it for sorting purposes in a slideshow.

I have a movie clip that needs to load an outside Variable and I know how to do it if the Variable is in the main time line.
Main TimeLine:
timedelay = 5;
MovieClip
timedelay = _root.timedelay
What I can not figure out is how to load a variable in a movie clip that is on the Instance of itself (not in the movie clip).
I am fine if I only use one instance of the movie clip at a time on the stage since I can set the Variable on the Main TimeLine into the movieclip (using .root), but this would not work correctly if I want two instances of a movieclip with differenct variables.
Right now I am having to make duplicate copies of a movie clip with different Variable names. I was hoping there would be some way where I could only use one movie clip and give it different variables.

In as2 it was possible to access variables created on the _root level from inside a movieclip. Like: _root.myVar =newVar.
How do I accomplish the same in as3.

I have a simple question about Variables in AS2, i have a feeling the solution is pretty simple. What i exactly need is a variable that has a movieclip's name stored inside it. I created a variable called cardType and stored the moviecip's name inside it. Now when i declare the Tween you see below and assign it to the variable cardType (which should be replaced with the movieclip's name), it does not work.
PHP Code:
var CardType;
CardType = LondonQuestions_mc.redCard_mc;
new Tween(cardType, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 2.5, true);

I have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.

How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

i'm referencing variable names and object names dynamically such as:[code]i have 5 balls (insert joke here) which get all the same functions etc so i wanted a way to avoid making 5x functions to handle each one of the balls. Now one function can handle all 5, etc.what i can't figure out is how to use this same set up to reference a variable or object name inside another movieclip. if i have another movieclip named "myParent" for example, i thought i could refer to it with:[code]but this doesn't work.

I'm trying to reference a movieclip that's been passed through the class primary function (constructor/instance, tried both) but can't get a button event instance to recognize it. Since the button's based around an event, I'm not sure how to pass the reference. I stripped a lot of the code, but left the function sctructure as the button events are tied into a dynamic loop structure, a main reason why I can't move the buttons to a different class.
The example looks something like this:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code] .....
I'm trying to figure out how to get the site_mc reference to the button event so it can trigger other nested movieclips inside it (gallery_mc, etc). If this were AS2 it'd be a piece of cake but now I have all these invisible walls for variable passing.

I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...

I've got a movieClip with some Actionscript applied to it (to make it rotate, stop onMouseOver, and continue onMouseOut).Now, I basically want a button inside that movie clip - applied to the object that's spinning.Whenever I put the button inside the movieClip, Flash doesn't recognise it. According to the SWF, the button doesn't exist.So, how do I get a button in a movieClip that has Actionscript applied to it?Or, am I going about this the wrong way and there's an obvious answer that I'm missing?(My idea is, for those who watch Stargate, to have the inner chevron ring spin, for it to stop spinning onMouseOver and then have the user click a chevron
