This is the code i have:
[AS]
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
setInterval(_root["box"+i], bouncer(), 1000);
};
[/AS]
And i'm trying to target "box"+i to play the function bouncer every second. But instead of just targeting what i want, it targets everything on stage, so everything on stage has the function bouncer called :-
How should i change it so it only targets what i want?
I need to play forwards/backwards to target frame(or second) on my videoPlayer when I push a button. How would I do this?
Not sure how to tween the seek() property. I have TweenLite, which normally works great! But just not sure how to do it here..
When trying to target a MC from within a function in CS3, I often run into problems though I still can't put my finger on it. When targeting the movie clip outside of a function (in this case I'm populating some dynamic text fields) everything is fine. In those cases, I use "this." in front of the MC name. I've tried that syntax and the the MC instance name without "this." within the function and nothing. So I seem to be missing something fundamental about AS3.
View 10 RepliesI have a movieclip playing and when I click a certain button I want the movieclip to first play an "outro" animation (which is also inside the movieclip) then go to the real target of the button. For example, I am at the Homepage of my website then I click on the Contact button. The homepage will first go to Homepage's outro animation then go to the Contact page. I need the button to recognize the page/clip being played and the page it will go to.
View 6 RepliesI've got tree movieclips called: greenpip(this is the dragable object, which is visable), greenpip_target(which is invisible, but becames visible when greenpip hits it, and grrenpip is becaming invisible) and then the third one: greenpip_flask (which is the animation I want to play when the greenpip hits the greenpip_target).
Everything works but I don't know how to make the greenpip_flask play, when grrenpip hits the greenpip_target. This scenario takes place three times with three sets of objects
i'm trying to target a function in one class from another. i'm able to call the function using(public static function imagecount()) but i can't a variable out side of that function. when i do i get this error:
1120: Access of undefined property _imagecount.
so below from call 'person' i want to call fucntion 'imagecount' in class 'model'. the call works but when i try and define a variable in class 'model' that is incremented in the 'imagecount' function i get the above error. it seem that my function has to be of type public static to be accessed from the other class.
///////////////// model class
package com.model

I have an if like this:
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (_root.go_blue._droptarget == "/g_target")[code]...
This works. I need to add "if (test = "one")", another drop sets this variable and the drop above should test for it. But I can't get the basics right! I'm a programmer who is new to Actionscript. What I want is:
"If the variable is correct AND if it is dropped on the target (g_target) THEN play the movie, ELSE go back to _x=130, _y=300."
The variable is being assigned correctly, I tested it with a Dynamic text box. The movie isn't running with my code!
ActionScript Code:
import gs.TweenMax;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
var where:String
buttongroup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonOver);
buttongroup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonOut);

'm trying to break out stuff that happens on a mouse click into a function so that function can be called at another time. here's what i'm trying to do:
function itemClicked(e:Event):void {
passoff(e.target);
trace(e.target.name); //menuItem1
[Code]....
the above is obviously not working but i'm wondering how this should be done.
What I'm trying to do is have a website where there are menu buttons on the sides and when you Mouse Over any of the buttons, the picture in the middle changes. Ideally I'd like to set it up so that the image in the center stays until the next button is touched and then it is removed and replaced with another button. Now I could manage this inside the timeline, but it would take a very long time so I'm trying to figure out how to do this with AS3.This first bit of code I used was as follows:
Code:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,HomeShow);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,HomeHide);

View 3 RepliesHow can I combine the following functions and still pass a different string to the buildUI(); function?
I have two functions that do the same thing only at the end they both call a function and pass a String value to the function. This string value is the only thing different.
Below is are my eventlisteners and functions as they are now:
female_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startFemale);
male_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMale);
//FUNCTIONS THAT DO THE SAME THING AND BOTH CALL buildUI BUT PASS A DIFFERENT STRING.

I made a flash site and one of the pages has drag and drop functions with drop target actions, so that text appears once dropped onto a target.It works fine but when I have it loaded inside an external editor, the drop and drag still works but the drop target function stops working.
View 0 RepliesI've created an empty movie clip on the stage called 'photographs', to which I've attached a movie which I've given the instance name 'p1_mc'. This movieclip contains another with an instance name of 'p1_mc_base', which in turn contains a third with an instance name of 'close_btn'.
I need to target 'close_btn' to call an onRelease function. I'm thinking the path would be:
_root.photographs.p1_mc.p1_mc_base.close_btn
which is borne out when I list the objects in the movie, but I can't get it to work. I've used getNextHighestDepth() with the createEmptyMovieClip and attachMovie functions.
I created an array with movie clips now how can i target one movie clip with event handler function . so that when i clicked on one movie clip a message should be displayed
View 4 Repliesdoes anyone know if it's possible to target values stored in an array in a function from anywhere in a movie? e.g var Pressed:Array = item trace(Pressed)
if i trace the Array name within the function it spits out values, but when i try and access the Array from outside of the function it doesn't work.
I need to feed the path of a target to a function and it needs to rewrite to set a value to it. example below
[Code].....
Basically it works if it's only one target name with no previous/subsequent targets like path1 works but not path1.box is there any way to fix this?
Im wondering if the LoadVars.SendAndLoad()-function can target a particular frame in a webpage as can the LoadVars.send()-function?
View 2 RepliesThis animation is for a kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the wrong area. Everything works, except I can't make the bears stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for all 6 bears.
On the attached exercise, is it possible to stop further items being dragged onto a target when the target box is full?

qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a button that is titled temper_mc that I want to play. I want to use a function to play the movie clip. My temper_mc button is on frame 1 but its not being activated when I click on the temperTantrum button. I also have an instance name of temperTantrum for a movie clip. Does the function name temperTantrum suppose to be a movie clip or is it just a name that I use to reference?
I am using a stop(); gotoAndPlay with setInterval on a series of swf files that are loaded into a container movie. There is a bug in doing this, in which when one of the swfs is loaded into the container and you click on a link to load a different swf before the current swf has gotten to the frame in which you reach this function, its stops the function and nothing pauses/plays anymore.

View 3 RepliesI have a main movie called "all" inside that I have to external swf's loaded.
1 called "content"
2 called "scrolledContent"
I am trying to communicate between "content" and "scrolledContent". The problem is that when I publish "scrolledContent" it gives me an error.
1120: Access of undefined property animation. animation.play();
This is happening because the mc called animation is in the swf called "content", so it is not there until its loaded into my main stage with "content".
