ALl the controls for this bar live inside btnHold One of these buttons loads in a new swf. 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.

Mar 15, 2011I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

Nov 18, 2009I am writing code in a MovieClip and want to refer to another MovieClip that shares the same parent.it'll be MovieClip(parent).theOtherMovieClip.But I want to refer to the MovieClip using the current MovieClip's instance name + "txt." This was my guess at the code, but it doesn't work.
MovieClip(parent).MovieClip(this.target.name+"txt" )
This didn't work either

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Event Listener On Parent For Event.target = Child?
Jul 30, 2009I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);

It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC
Feb 5, 2010[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Target A Movieclip Within A Movieclip?
Jul 30, 2010Its day 3 of learning AS3 for me. I cant seem to target a movieclip within a movieclip. I code with all my actions on the first frame of the root timeline and would like to continue this practice. But when I target the clip from the root my function wont run.
Here is my example:
Code:
wheel_mc.spinBackward_mc.buttonMode = true;
wheel_mc.spinForward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spinForward);
function spinForward(event:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
Basically it wont gotoAndPlay("fadeIn") and I'm not sure why. So my question so I can move on in my AS3 learning is how to I target a movieclip with another movieclip, or is there another more proper way to do what I'm trying to achieve.

So I know I need to make Revlon_mc into another movieclip (so I can do the actual animation inside this movie clip and move it easily around the main timeline) but I'm not what the code would be (something to do with parent perhaps??) and would I still keep the code on the main timeline or would it sit within the new moviclip just created?
