ActionScript 2.0 :: Refer To The Button Inside The Movieclip After Attach It Onto The Stage Using AttachMovie?

Nov 17, 2003

I had a movieclip which contained a button in it exported as "mc". Then I attach this movie clip onto the stage using: _root.attachMovie("mc", "link1", 1); But i couldn't find it with AS. I mean, how can i refer to the button inside the movieclip after I attach it onto the stage using attachMovie?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Use AttachMovie To Attach A Movieclip To Another Movieclip?

Oct 28, 2009

I'm trying to use attachMovie to attach a movieclip to another movieclip. Both the movieclips are set up as buttons (ie. they have _up, _over, _down, _hit states). The problem is if I define event handlers for both mcs, only the event handler on the parent clip works.
 
myBtn is already on the stage:
 
myBtn.onRollOver = function():Void  {    this.attachMovie("pageButton","chldBtn",1);        this.onPress = function():Void  {        trace("parent"); //works    };        this.chldBtn.onRelease = function():Void  {        trace("attached Movie"); // doesn't work    };};
 
I've tried 'delete this.onPress' for the parent mc but this makes no difference.
 
How can I get the attached mc event handler to work?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Variable Value To Refer To A Movieclip On Stage

Aug 8, 2006

asically I have a variable in which I store various numbers depending on other aspects of the flash movie and I have a bunch of movieclips that are on the stage all named by number. I want to use the variable value to access and run methods etc of these movieclips.

e.g.
var myVar = "10";
myVar.myFunction();

where the item on stage called '10' will react. I realise this is a confusion between a string and an object/movieclip reference but i'm almost certain ive done this before and ive got a feeling it had something to do with [] brackets on the end of something...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing A Button On Main Stage From Inside A Movieclip?

Nov 22, 2009

On the main stage I have a button that I have made invisible once the file is loaded.  Inside a movieclip I have on frame 15 the following actionscript 3 code
 
button_mc.visible = true;
 
I want the button to become visible at the end of this movieclip.  I am not using an external as3 file, I am putting the as3 code in its own layer on the first frame.
 
I know it has something to do with the path to the button, but I cannot figure it out.  If there is anyone who can point me in the right direction for referencing instances by instance name that reside on the main satge from inside a movieclip

ActionScript 2.0 :: Use AttachMovie Inside A Movieclip Used LoadMovie On?

Jun 7, 2005

This is driving me nuts... is it impossible to use attachMovie inside a movieclip you used loadMovie on? For example, I have this but it doesn't work out:

Code:
imageHolder_mc.loadMovie("firstImage.jpg");
imageHolder_mc.attachMovie("secondImage_mc","attachedImage_mc",1);

Why doesn't this just load the firstImage.jpg through the loadMovie method and then create an attachedImage_mc on the imageHolder_mc (with the secondImage_mc)? All its doing as of now is loading the first image... then if I comment the loadMovie part, it attaches the second image.

EDIT: Just a little more info. Basically I have a movieclip called imageHolder_mc that I created manually on stage. This movieclip calls LoadMovie to load in a JPG, but later on I need too replace the entire content of it with a movieclip from the library (still keeping the imageHolder_mc instance name).

I've used MovieClipLoader to load a movieclip into my holder. Everything works out fine, the mc loads and it's all good. But then, inside the loaded mc I use attachMovie to attach a movieclip from the library of the holder. It won't attach, but it will attach if I re-create the specific mc in the loaded mc's library. Does anyone know how to get around this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Set IdName To Attach In AttachMovie To Value Of A Variable?

Jul 24, 2009

All I need to know is how to set the idName to attach in attachMovie to the value of a variable?The linkages are fine, the problem is just being able to specify a different clip to load depending on what a certain variable is set to.I don't have the FLA with me right now..OK, say I have a variable with the string, '00'. When this code runs, I want it to load the clip with the linkage, '00'. Say the variable's string changes to '-10'. Then when the code runs, it should load the clip with the linkage '-10'.If this isn't possible, or there is a better way...I'm working on a game. I want it to attach a different level to the stage depending on what value a 2 variables are, but I keep getting Type Mismatch, or it doesn't work.[code]The current linkages are 00 (0x, 0y), and -10 (-1x, 0y). They are comprised of 2 variables, the first one is xmap, and the second is ymap. I want to be able to combine the 2 variables and then attach the clip with that linkage to the stage..

ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie - Loading MovieClip When Button Pressed

Apr 11, 2008

Adobe Flash CS3
publishing as Flash 8, AS 2.0
I have a movieclip named menu (instance name = mainmenu). Inside of that there is a button named btn_about (instance name = about). On the main stage there is an empty movieclip named empty_mc (instance name = mcholder, linkage id = empty). I want a user to press the button which causes a movieclip in the library named tesst (Linkage name = testid) to load into the empty movieclip (mc_holder).

Here is the code on the button:
on (release) {
this._parent.mcholder.attachMovie("testid", "tesst1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
It does not work.
