Apr 16, 2005Everytime I press a movieClip, i -1(on the output window) should be equal to the number of the movieClip (ex: myClip17, when pressed, should produce in the output window a value of 17 for i-1). Please copy paste this code to a flash document and you'll see what I mean (please don't forget that you have to have linkage in the library for a movieClip symbol that you have to create - it's a circle only with stroke that has w=15 h=15). Every time I click on a number it should appear a circle on it. If the circle is already there it should disappear. But that's not the case. Somehow every movieClip has the order to attach one of the instances of movieclip marca_mc to myClip31.
var mcAcoplado = [false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false];

ActionScript 1/2 :: Moving 2 Different MovieClips At Same Time OnPress Function
Jun 17, 2010I am using the following code to simulate a volume control bar filling on vol+ and unfilling on vol-. The dragger is a mask that causes the fill to appear and disappear when the mouse is pressed and dragged on the volume controller. It works well, but I would like to add a "switch" that moves at the same time and in the same location as the fill, but on top of it... I created the movieClip for the switch and tried all kinds of variations to the following code with its instance in the code, but cant seem to get it working... below is the code which works with just the mask filling / unfilling.
this.ratio = 0;dragger.onPress = function() {this.startDrag(true, 0, 0, line._width, 0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
ratio = Math.round(this._x*100/line._width);
_root.volume = ratio; }; };
dragger.onRelease = dragger.onRelease=stopDrag;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Code Placed Movieclips?
Oct 14, 2010I am still sorting out how things translate to AS3 so here it goes:
In the land of AS2:
Say you for looped 5 times and placed movieclips on the stage (attachMovieClip) each one having an mc inside called box_mc. You named them in the loop mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4, mc_5.Then later you wanted to rotate that box in them you could for loop again and target/rotate the box with a line like this:
this["mc_"+i].box_mc.rotation +=5;
Now in the land of AS3:I place 5 movieclips using addChild and the way I later target the box_mc inside them is to use two lines something like this:
[code]...
I know this method works, but is this the most efficient/correct way of doing this? I tried to get to the box_mc level when assigning the targetMc var, but never found a way that didn't error.Compounding question, how do you make an old line of AS2 work in the AS3 world like this:
this["mc_"+i]["child_mc_"+j].box_mc.rotation +=5;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Nested MovieClips Outside Of Scope
Oct 12, 2009I have a movieclip added to the stage through a function.
ActionScript Code:
function myFunctionOne():void{
var myClipA:clipA = new clipA();
myClipA.name = "myClipA";
addChild(myClipA);
}
To access this item on the stage I have to use:
ActionScript Code:
getChildByName("myClipA");
I have some other movieclips INSIDE this clip that have also been dynamically added. If I want to reference one of those clips I have to reference them by name using getChildByName.
[Code].....
But is there a better way to reference movieclips if they are created inside a function, or is there a way to create them so they are always globally accessible?

Nov 4, 2011I have the MovieClip named dessin, which loads another MovieClip named dessin (dessin.dessin). Now, there is a MovieClip named displayPlane, in the new MovieClip (dessin.dessin), in the MovieClip named displayPlane, there is a variable, which goes as follows:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc3 = displayPlane.attachMovie("displayNode", "displayNode_" + projectCount, projectCount);
inside that clip, there are multiple MovieClips in vars, I am trying to specifically target one var, the following:

var _loc8 = this.attachMovie("closeBtn", "closeBtn", 5);
I have tried this code to target that specific MovieClip with no success.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Dynamically Created Nested Movieclips?
Feb 17, 2010I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.
Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.
The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();
holder.name = "testname";
this.addChild(holder);

Professional :: MovieClips Actions Get Out Of Synch With Audio
Feb 4, 2012My movie is five about minutes long with audio and an offscreen timeline move clip containing action script to control other movie clips or play the root directory. After about a minute or so, movie clips get out-of-synch with the audio, apparently its getting bogged down. My swf file doesn't seem that big, about 2.2MB and my move clips aren't that complex, although up to three levels deep.

I have the main timeline and then have a movieclip which has buttons inside of it and actionscript applied in the movieclips timeline. Is this a no? That is should all actions go on the main timeline? If this is so then does anyone know why I keep getting an error that it can't find the instance named button inside the movieclip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Frame Actions Not Working On Child Movieclips
Mar 13, 2009I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.
All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Calling/targeting Dynamic Mcs?
Aug 15, 2006I can't seem to target the mc's that I have pre-loaded externally. The problem is that mcs like 'screen_roadmap' play at the beginning of the compiled movie, and not when I make them visible by pressing on the button. I currently have a stop(); command on frame one, so I would like the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(2); only when I press the button. I have tried things like : this["screen_roadmap"].gotoAndPlay(2);. I used this code from an actionscript book, but it makes no mention of targeting the mcs.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting A Dynamic Textfield?
May 18, 2005Ive been talking about this in another thread, but I guess its a better idea to start a new thread to ask this question: How can I target a named instance of a dynamic text field that is inside a button, which is inside a movie clip, which is on the root timeline, from a frame in the root timeline?
I tried _root.movieclipname.buttonname.txtfieldname but that doesnt work...and to make issues a little more complicated, its not a static movie clip, but a duplicate that needs to be targeted every iteration of a 'for' loop.
I thought it would be something like -
_root.movieclipname[i].buttonname.txtfieldname
But thats not working...How can I target that textfield?
