I have a movie clip called curtain_mc with this actionscript inside:
[Code]...
I would like to change the variable 'f' from true and false by clicking a button but the actionscript on my keyframe doesn't recognize the actionscript in my movieclip? I know its a targeting issue, but not sure how to alter it in order for the two to talk to each other??
I have 10 MC that are generated inside of a for loop. Each MC got another MC inside of it that is already sitting on the stage and has it's own instance ame applied! After that I put them inside of a MC container, that I also add dinamicly through the addChild method! But I have one issue when I want to change the position of the child MC(one that is sitting on the stage), through targetting to it's instanceName! The code I use:
Code:
var box1_mc:Box1 = new Box1();
var ball1_mc:Ball1;
var balls:Array = new Array();

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to detect the event.target of another function in the same calsses.
ActionScript Code:
public function menus():void {
menuArray[i].button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
} private function btnOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
bgGlow();
} private function bgGlow():void {
square.x=[B]event.target.parent.x[/B];
}
Here is a simplified of the coding that I'm trying to target.
I am trying to target items inside a movieClip container. The container is called holder.
Inside holder I have a bunch of items such as other movieClips and TextFields.
How do I target, for example the TextField inside the holder clip??
Fore Example, I tried this, but doest work...
holder.textField.x = 100;
I'm trying to target a movieclip inside another movie clip which I have dynamically generated the name.
ActionScript Code:
firstText = "text" + randomNum;
_root[firstText].gotoAndStop(9);
[Code]....
The first part works, I can "firstText" and I can make it go to frame 9 and stop but I can't manipulate the movie clip "title_txt" which is inside "firstText"
So from the headline u know that i want to do but i don't know how to do it!
ActionScript Code:
/// activate the mc with the button from the main Menu
mathSecondMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, otvoriVtoroMenu);
[Code]....
the problem is that i can get to the button from the first event, but i can make the Mc "proba" to go to "math_basic"!
I have a main.swf which loads a sub.swf. Inside the sub.swf is a button instance (myBtn). How do I access myBtn from main.swf timeline?
View 7 RepliesHow do you target a certain frame number/name from outside of that specific movieclip?
Code:
whoweare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, whoweareClick);
function whoweareClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("whoweare");
}
I'm assuming it's something with the gotoAndPlay function... but I've tried numerous things with that and nothing is working.
The result I traced keep on coming back as the last in the list.It seems like the xmlList is not assign to different MC.

private function levelsBG():void {
for (var i:Number=0; i<myXML.children().length(); i++) {

Okay I'm working on a pretty big project, and the last thing I need to do is get this content to display. Here's my lil problem. So I'm loading buildings, and when clicked on, I'm loading a movieclip from the library that has a slideshow movieclip on the first frame, however this slideshow is packaged externally. This slideshow has a "xmlPath" that is defaulted to a XML file. My question is... what kind of code can I use to control which xml is loaded when loading that packaged slideshow?

I loaded this "slider" swf into a "sliderHolder" on my index swf file. inside that loaded swf there's a movice clip called icon_mc. I'm trying to target it and make it go to a specific y position within that loaded swf on a MouseEvent inside the index.swf. I can't seem to make it work.I triedI have traced sliderHolder and it says it's empty.I have traced sliderLoader and it gives a Loader.So how do I access the movieClip if I just have those two as references?Here's what I have and want to do in code:
Code: Select all
var sliderLoader:Loader = new Loader();
sliderLoader.load( new URLRequest("sliding/ImageBar.swf"));

People using the form mailer decide to load it externally and when they do they discover that the form won't go to the "thank you" frame. The onClipEvent (data) I assume fires but then you have [code]on the main timeline of the external swf and that didn't work. What is the secret to firing an onClipEvent inside an externally loaded swf?
View 7 RepliesI have been searching for an answer to this and can't seem to find one for AS3:I have a scroll pane component that dynamically loads a movie clip from my library. This movie clip has buttons inside that I would like to access from my main timeline. I can't figure out what my target path should be (for AS3).In AS2 it appears that it would be something like this:scrollpaneName.spContentHolder.inside_btn...AS3 doesn't recognize spContentHolder though so it must be something different...
View 4 RepliesOk, i bought a scroller that works well scrolling content. With elasticity and stuff.
My problem is trying to access buttons inside the scroller.
I have an instance of the scroller component on stage and named it Scroller. I set the content in its component inspector. It loads a movieclip from the Library called Panel. Inside the Panel i have 2 buttons. button1 and button2. If i publish everything works fine.
Now i am not very good at AS3. How do i access the buttons. i've tried this among other bits and pieces i found on the web.
Scroller.Panel.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, somefunction);
Can't get it to work. I know the Panel movie out of the library that the Scroller component loads needs to be somehow listened for but i don't have a clue.
how to access the buttons without getting an error
1119: Access of possibly undefined property button1 through a reference with static type Class.
I am trying to set up a global variable. On the root of my timeline, I have this;
_global.floorVar = "0";
trace(floorVar);
which seems to trace fine to say 0.
Then, inside of a movie clip on the main timeline, I have a button function:
floor1.onRelease = function() { _global.floorVar = "1"; trace(_global.floorVar) _root.gotoAndStop(2);};
if (_global.floorVar == 1) { trace("it works");
}
It traces as 1 once I press the button, but the if statement doesn't trace "it works" is my global variable set up wrong?
On my stage, I have a bunch of movieclips with sequential instance names ("toggle1", "toggle2", etc.). I also have another bunch of movieclips, each with their own sequential instance name ("name1", "name2", etc.).How can I set it so that when I click on a "toggle" movieclip, a specified property changes on the "name" movieclip with the same number.Here's what I have so far.

On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
I have a mock up fla file showing what i am trying to attempt. I have a button nested in a movie clip on the second frame on main timeline called PageBackBtn. I am trying to get this button to target a label within a movieclip on the first frame of the main timeline. The label also is called PageBackBtn within the movieclip on frame one.

View 6 RepliesI'm working on a simple catching game where you have monsters coming out from the corner of the screen and you need to get them with the mouse.What I want to do is change the rate at which the monsters come out depending on the score. The higher the score, the more monsters should come out.The code for creating new monsters is a simple timer event:[code]it works when I declare the variable locally within the function. But then I can't access it outside of it, so it's no good!

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.
