ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Main Timeline From AttachMovie?
Nov 18, 2008I'm working on this project, where i attach movies to an empty movieclip. In these attached movies, i have a button that needs to target a function on the main timeline. Example:
on the main timeline, i have an action that loads a bitmap onto the background: loadBitmapSmoothed("background.jpg",bg_con); On the main timeline, i also have a button with following action:
on(release){
this.mc_holder.attachMovie("MC_products",1);
}
Then, in the attached movieclip i have a button that needs to swap the image previously loaded into the 'bg_con'-movieclip, like thus:
on(release){
_root.loadBitmapSmoothed("product_1.jpg",bg_con);
}
For some reason, this doesn't work. I've also tried using _level0. but nothing happens.
ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie With Buttons Undefined
Sep 24, 2010All the actionscript is taking place outside of the timeline and in its own AS file.InProgress is a movieClip that contains nothing at start. Once loaded it contains a list of movieClips, each which contain buttons. I need to change the label on those nested buttons. The buttons are actually components, where the label is named label and its variable is labelID.[code]Now if I create just a button on the stage myself, the .label command works perfectly. However, it does not work at all with nesting... I just want to change the label of the nested resumeButton...

ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Bug - If Click One Of The 2 Loading Buttons Twice?
Jun 23, 2007I encountered a strange thing when experimenting with attachMovie. So, here's the deal: 2 button, 1 mc_colder. Each button onPress loads a different MC into the holder ( mc1 and mc2 ). Beside those 2 buttons that load the 2 MCs i have 2 more buttons that should remove the loaded MC. Nothing bad until now, loading, removing works fine, but a problem occurs if I click one of the 2 loading buttons twice.. Example: I pess the first buttons once, and loads mc1, i press button 2, loads mc2, i remove both mcs, now, i press button 1 again, loads mc1, i press buton 1 again ( and it should load the mc again or do nothing ? ) but when i want to remove this MC it won't. How can I fix this? Or how can I tell flash not to attach the MC again, once it has already been loaded? I tried a few tricks but nothing yet. I'll keep experimenting with it.

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Targeting Multiple Buttons And Get Different Value By Clicking Different Button
Aug 8, 2011I want to target multiple buttons and get different value by clicking different button.
Suppose there are 3 buttons: "button01", "button02, "button03".
This is my code:

for (var i:int = 0; i < targetArr.length; i++)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Buttons Parent Versus Root?
Feb 19, 2010I have a main flash movie that loads three external movies, the external movie buttons don't work when loaded onto the stage.
In each external swf thats loaded, the button actionscript is in this form:
HTML Code:
on(release) {
_root.gotoPage(2);
}
And this works when each swf is loaded stand-alone. But not when loaded as an external swf.With the numbers ranging from 1-19 as far as pages. How should I edit the code so that these buttons work when loaded externally?
Code:
on(release) {
_parent.gotoPage(2);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Duplicates II - Put Several Buttons On The Stage When Clicked
Jul 9, 2004I attached a movie that I am working on. I use the duplicate actionscript to put several buttons on the stage when clicked.

As of right now it only works on 1 button and by changing the 6 in this code for (i=1; i<6; i++) to 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 it will only change that button. How can I get them all to change at once?

ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie - When Click On One Of The Buttons, A Series Of Thumbnails Appears?
Sep 8, 2008I'm building an image gallery in Flash, and I've struck a problem.Here's what I have so far: A series of movie clip buttons which animate quite nicely.I want to make it so that when you click on one of the buttons, a series of thumbnails appears (I would put them all in a movieclip). Here's my code for one of the buttons:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}[code]....
When I click on that button, the thumbnails appear, but they are inside the button mc. I want to either make the "india_thumbs" mc appear in a blank mc, or make it appear in its own layer.
ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie External Swf - Load Buttons On The Map Into The Main Interface
Apr 17, 2005I have created an interactive atlas. I am using my favorite map zooming and panning tools supplied by Senocular which can be found here: [URL] For the panning/zooming/drawBox tool to work the map features must be buried deep within several movieclips. There is one level at which you can put buttons that aren't effected by the code for the panning/zooming etc. Buttons have to go on this level or higher if you want them to work.
The way my atlas is set up - there is a main interface that has these tools plus the menu system. The menu (xml; created by Lost and Sen - brilliant) loads in two external swfs - one is the map itself and the other is a set of "controls" for that particular map (radio buttons, check boxes, text links, etc.).
Okay so here is my problem. I have a couple of external swfs that have buttons on them that do things when you roll over and off them. If I have these buttons sitting on the map then when it gets loaded into the main interface they no longer work. So I am trying to use attachMovie to attach them to an MC within the zooming tools in the main interface at a level they can be active (oh god I hope that makes sense). But it's not working.
I am guessing it's because the code to attach them is being fired before the external can be loaded into the interface. So I'm not really sure where to fire the attachMovie code. Does it go with the external? Does it go with the controls for the external?
AS2 - Target An AttachMovie Mc?
May 14, 2009Through attachMovie I have loaded an mc from the library onto the stage into "holder_mc".
myButton.onRelease = function () {
if (currentWork != "holder_mc.myWork1_mc") {
holder_mc.attachMovie("myWork_mc","myWork1_mc", getNextHighestDepth());
currentWork = "holder_mc.myWork1_mc";
}
}
This works.
However, there are a couple of buttons (mc) inside "myWork1_mc" which skips through a few slides in the myWork1_mc clip that I cannot target. I thought using:
holder_mc.myWork1_mc.buttonName_mc.onRelease = function () {
trace("MC_pressed");
}
... would work. My curser doesn't even change to the hand symbol. How do I target an dymanically loaded MC from the library which is inside an empty holder MC on the stage via attachMovie? What am i missing? Believe me, I have spent hours trying to google it.
Note: at this stage there is no other script on "holder_mc", but there will be at a later date, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Also, the buttons work when I place the MC onto the stage and not use attachMovie.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 MC AttachMovie In Scrollpane
Oct 8, 2009for (i=0; i<policy.length; i++) {
newOpt = Stocklist_MC.attachMovie('Option', 'Option'+i, i);
I've got a ScrollPane on the root stage. This loads a MC called 'Stocklist_MC' (this also has a linkage/export name of 'Stocklist_MC'). When I try to use '.attachMovie' to the movieclip (Stocklist_MC) inside the ScrollPane nothing appears. All the AS is on frame 1 of root. Everything works when I use '.attachMovie' with _root. for (i=0; i<policy.length; i++) { newOpt = _root.attachMovie('Option', 'Option'+i, i); Also, if I drag Stocklist_MC to the stage I get everything working but list gets cut off at bottom, which is the reason why I need it in a scrollPane.

Aug 24, 2010I've been battling this project, and finally got it all wrapped up and working, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore.Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which are placed into the FloorMC which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.[URL](I'd love to attach the swf and fla to this message, so you could take a look at those, but apparently that would be crazy.) thought perhaps it had to do with me using _root, but I went through and changed them all out to _globals and _parents and it still no likey. Furthermore the Comment Box in the bottom left gets triggered by _root commands form all sorts of different levels, and it seems to work fine, both on the web and off.

What i am trying to attempt here is to make the variable equal to the name of an item in my library. (Im using this to use different ships in an old arcade-style vertical shooter). This is meant to make a ship appear on stage.
When <variable> is replaced with a library item (eg. mvcShip), it works fine, but if the variable is in place, i get a trace value of ship1 as "undefined", and the ship doesnt show up on the stage.

Now I want to delay each attachmovie function so that the movies are attached one by one rather then trow them all on the screen at once. (plus it looks better with the alpha fade).
I tried the setInterval but it wont work (ex.:Interval is 1 sec, and if im going to attach 6 MC, flash wait 6 * 1 sec, then show them all)
And is it possible to attach a movieclip inside a othermovieclip thats not on the same frame (the other MC is on frame 10)?
