I have a movie clip that I would like to slide to the right or left depending on which button the user clicks. When I test the movie and click on the buttons, the target movie clip only moves one pixel. I want it to slide into place. What am I doing wrong?

I have a movieclip that moves on the X axis. Thing is, I need to make certain areas of it clickable... I have already tried a couple of things but didn't succeed.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a flash game for a website. In the game, there is a large interactive map which I created. The map is supposed to scroll just by moving the mouse.
As a placeholder for the map, an ex-coworker created a gradient background, which moves along with the mouse. Here is the AS.
// Width and height of image
var w = Stage.width * 2;
var h = Stage.height * 2;
// Mock up graphic that will be the image

how to make the MC move and pan along with the mouse? Even if it is a completely different code?
My issue is this: When I call MC1.addChild(MC2), it moves MC2 a few pixels from the location it was originally. I don't want it to move MC2,

And i whant to add more instances from that movie clip
I tried:
Code:
addChild(cloud);
stage.addchild(cloud);
check this page: [URL] For whatever reason, the flash slideshow moves over 1 pixel when opened in Firefox on my Mac. All other browsers render it fine, but only on Firefox it leaves a 1 pixel white gap on the left!
I am using the most recent version of SWFObject. This unfortunately is a garbage Weebly site and I cannot use jQuery in the system so I can't do a real gallery... so let's save the whole "don't use Flash for that" pep talk. It's a favour for a friend and I am already aware of better ways to do it. :)
I've finished a site that has a listener with no scaling. Basically its the typical /2 deal to keep the movie clip centered. On a few images I have a 1 pixel black frame so the images need to remain on whole pixel locations to remain crisp. Generally everything works well but sometimes when you resize the browser just right it somehow puts them in between pixels.

View 1 RepliesI have two movie clips on my main time line. There is a button in movie clip 1 that I want to target to movie clip 2... and it's not working for me. I'm assuming that when I'm in movie clip 1, I need to tell it to go back up to the main time line, and into the movie clip 2.The site that does the same exact thing I'm trying to do is this tutorial:The buttons and the page area are two seperate movie clips, but the buttons in the button movie clip target to the page area movie clip.This is the code that I'm thinking I'm getting an error with:Code:MovieClip(root).eyecarePage.gotoAndPlay(10);- where eyecarePage is the Instance Name of the movie clip where I want the button to target to, and once it's in that movie clip, I want it to go and play frame 10 and on... but instead I get a #1009 error.

So the display list seems to indicate that I have 6 movie clips on the stage. PROBLEM: When I try to target the movie clips by name in adding the following code for example: image2.apha = 0; I get an error: 1120: Access of undefined property image2. What I don't get is: image2 is a movieclip and a movieclip has a property of alpha?

View 1 RepliesI have a swf which contains a main menu bar along the top which has been added dynamically at run time.

There is a button within this second swf that I want to use to control the main menu bar in the top layer (I want to make it invisible for a time, or get its layer and then ensure that its not too high etc etc)However, I just can't work out how to target this btnHold from within the newly loaded swf.

How do i target a frame in a movie Clip. I'm using the loadmovie command and want an alternative pathway through the site. That is, when user cliks button they go to frame 15 instead of frame 1.
View 2 RepliesIt's about targeting movie clips... In AS2, you just target a movie clip like so :trace (FirstMc.ChildMc1.ChildMc2.ChildMc3._x) // Will send out the x position of ChildMc3 But is AS3, i see that there's a function called getChildByName('put child name here'). But what if it's such a long way to go to that child??? Does it have to be:
FirstMc.getChildByName("ChildMc1"). getChildByName("ChildMc2"). getChildByName("ChildMc3").x
That just seems to tedious and I'm sure Adobe thought of a clean way of targetting??

View 2 RepliesI have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.
If I use an empty movie clip to load a series of images into,how do I get them to load in the center?The images are all different sizes.I think this is fine, if they loaded with the center of both the target clip and the image aligning.Upper left registration point for the target is not good.

View 1 RepliesI have 7 buttons on the main stage that go to different parts of the main timeline, all of which have the same movie clip with 7 different frames. Right now it always goes to the first frame of the movie clip, but I need the second button to go to the second frame, and so on. I was originally trying to have the button itself find a frame label inside the movie clip, but now I realize I probably need to attach something to the key frames of the main timeline that tells it to go to a specific part of the movie clip. The problem is I can't figure out how to address the movie clip from the main timeline. The book I started learning from had a short section on declaring movie clips, and I cobbled together this bit of code and put in on a key frame in the main timeline.
Code: Select allvar viewwork:MovieClip = root.viewwork
viewwork.gotoAndStop(2);
I'm pretty sure that's completely wrong, as it gives me the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property viewwork through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
So how do I properly reference a movie clip from the main timeline? Also, I'm using an external .as file for most of my actions, but I'm sticking this directly on the frame because I haven't even thought about trying to figure out how to target a specific frame from an external file. Is that going to cause problems?
I have a draggable movie clip that contains a button inside to hold my code. The target area is in the root and is a movie clip. I need to be able to drag and drop on the target. When it does drop on the target it needs to play a different keyframe from the root which holds a movie clip. Below is the code I have in my button within the draggable movie:

it starts dragging, but for some reason the drop target isn't working or the stopDrag, because it won't stop dragging.

I'm trying to do exactly what he describes--I have several squares on a grid that are numbered, eg. grid_0101, grid_0102, grid_0103, and so on, for about 100 squares altogether, and I want to be able to target a given square dynamically.
This is the basis of the code I started with:
Code:
var digsquare_x:String = "01";
var digsquare_y:String = "03";
var digthis:String = "grid_" + digsquare_x + digsquare_y;
this[digthis]._alpha = 50;
I don't need to change the alpha specifically, I was just trying to see if I could get it to affect a given square in any way, and apparently the answer is no. I know that the value of "digthis" is accurate, but even blatantly telling it to refer to _level10[digthis] still gives me no results. Neither does _root.level10[digthis] which I tried just to see if it would work.
