In flash i always used tellTarget to control everything, but now i'v discoverd _root... If im working in level 0 this works perfect, but when i'm in a mc in a mc in a mc, it does nothing... I just want a mc to play:
_root.myMc3.gotoAndPlay("label");
so must it be:
_root.myMc/myMc2/myMc3.gotoAndPlay("label");
In the code below i want to change the _root.broj and _root.logo variables inside the function which returns values from .php file. Inside the function everything works fine and all values are correct but when i trace var broj outside the function it's still 0.
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var broj:Number=0;
var logo = new Array();

im lookin to make this so that the points taken from the _root.cargo are multipled by 10 and added to _root.totalscore

if a condition is true, then:_root.(MC with instance name that is the value of "_root.eelmine").nextFrame(); is this correct?_root._root[eelmine].nextFrame();
View 16 RepliesFor some reason i'm having problems swapping scenes in my flash movie. At first i put the action in a "actions" named layer and a link to a button. So basicly when scene1 loads the frame 1 action is "stop ();". The viewer clicks on button1 which has a code of;

When you click a button I want my flash to go to the frame label where the movie clip is located, and then play a certain frame of that movie clip.
View 5 RepliesI just recently began migrating from AS2 to AS3, and I have of course realized that I can no longer move the "_root" by changing the _x and _y positions of the _root (which no longer exists in AS3). How can I do this in AS3 (specifying _x, _y, _z possibly of the "_root")?
View 2 RepliesI've made a file in photoshop with layer. I brought it into flash. I created the movie and it plays but when I want to use the "test movie" feat. it does nothing. The graphics come up but no movement. I exported it as an .swf file but still no luck.
View 8 RepliesI've got my swf which plays fine when opened in a browser - it's a container called 'country' that's coded to load the different clips (clip1.swf, clip2.swf, etc.) - but when placing it into an HTML page it won't load the clips and I'm thinking it's because of some actionscript error.

Scripts are all loaded on the server in the /Scripts/ folder Below is the ActionScript from the country.swf container that loads the clips. what I'm doing wrong to get it to load on the HTML page?
function _playClip(fileName)
{
var clipName = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, fileName.indexOf(".")) + "_mc";
if (_root[clipName] == undefined)

Im using loadMovie within a .swf on level 1 to load an external movie into level 2. But when this happens the sound function doesnt work. The 2nd movie being loaded has the newsound defined and everything within itself. It plays if i run that swf seperately or using ctrl+enter. Yet when the 1st movie calls the 2nd movie onto level 1 at runtime.The sound in the 2nd movie doesnt play. But its button sounds all seem to be working.
View 1 RepliesHow can I change the following so it won't conflict with sounds inserted manually in keyframes. Currently when this function is active, the loop sound works but the other sounds don't play..

I have a problem with a FlvPlayBack movie. So when I load the .swf, and click "Play Trailer" locally it works perfectly. But when I load the .html page, and click "Play trailer" the player doesn't show up and it won't play the video.
Link to .html page What files exactly need to be on my server in order for the video to play? Have I called the video wrong? (the .flv file is on my server)
I have a movie clip (with instance name rectangle_mc) on the stage. Within this movie clip there are two separation animations on the timeline. The ROLL_OVER animation starts on frame "over" and the MOUSE_OUT animation starts on frame "off." If I roll over the movie clip, the initial animation plays, and when I mouse out the other animation plays to restore it to it's initial state. However, once the rollover animation has played once, it will not play again when I roll over it again, but for some reason the MOUSE_OUT plays every time.

View 4 RepliesI an trying to get the _root node of an FLA via JSFL. A co-worker wrote a script that uses _root via actionscript. I was trying to wrap that code into a panel. I have all the trace functionality running and everything running accept I can't seem to access the "_root". I have tried _level0, and almost everything I can think of... I am looking to have JSFL return the _root object from the current file the same way can can hand "_root" to a function. (IE: myfunction( _root ); ) here is my current attempt:
Code:
var doc = MMExecute( "fl.getDocumentDOM()._root;" );
I have an external swf, that is a photo gallery, loading into my main swf. When the external swf loads, everything works fine except when you click on a thumbnail in the external swf, the jpg doesn't load. I have it set up that an empty movie clip is created first, then the jpg is loaded into that. I have a feeling it is something with the fact that I am using _root, but I don't have any guesses whats causing the issue and how to fix it.
Code:
News.onRelease = function(){
if( !this.up ){

I've got a swf loader that loads a swf obviously but in the swf that's being loaded I have a button inside of a movie clip which I use...
Code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("page1");
}
When viewing the swf file on its own this works perfectly, however when it gets loaded into the first file it no longer works because the root has now changed to that first file.
Why isn't this working?I've tried everything.Here's a resume on what's the part with errors:
Code:
var Bl:Object = {x:-18, y:174};
_parent.mwall.globalToLocal(Bl);

I was jsut wondering if it is possible to have the _root fade out, when e.g. loading a something into level1 and then have _root fade back in when unloding level1?

View 4 RepliesI used the tutorial on Kirupa on loading external swf's. Before writing here I tried to find an answer in the forums, but no luck so here I go.[URL]..If you look at my files: Open portfolio.swf and hit one of the first two images (that initially flies in). here you will see that if you hit the second one, the rpesent one displayed makes an outro and the second one makes an intro, PERFECT!
Now, if you open default.swf (that has portfolio.swf loaded into a movie clip as you can see by looking at the source) and if you hit the second image, the first one makes the outro, and then makes an intro. So the shift to the second one is not happenening. Please, can someone help me to make this happen?
difference between _root and _global when dealing with variables or point me in the direction of a good explaniation on the web? I feel like there is something basic I am missing. For example the other day I was working on making some scenarios. In a nut shell I was setting up dynamic text boxes where the text would changed based on what the student selected (via buttons).
When the varible was changed (by clicking the button) the text wouldn't refresh when it was a _global, but would refresh when it was _root. Everything is working fine but I've been trying to understand the "why" it works this way.
I have this code. It works fine when i press a button.
if (_root.mc._alpha == 100) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 50;[code]....
I need to know how can I trace the _alpha value of the mc and when the value is 0 a movie clip is loading in the same mc.
When I try to use loadMovie, it will not load to an instance (unless it's something that's in the same directory). I figured this was some sort of security thing, but I was able to load the movie into _root just fine.
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to get... if(_root.currentframe to work. It just doesn't seem to recongnise what the _root frame is and won't goto the desired frame.I've attached a simple flash example which is very basic with a button inside a mc that asks the _root for the frame and if it's on frame 1 then should goto frame 5 - but it doesn't work. I've added a trace and that's returning the correct frame so it knows what the frame is.The actionscript on the button is..
on(release){
trace(_root._currentframe);
if(_root.currentframe == 1){

View 3 RepliesRight now I am trying to make a gallery in my site and the set up is
Main SWF(1)
loaded into a movie clip on SWF(1) I have SWF(2)
This SWF(2) has the various thumbnails in a movie clip
The ideal is to load SWF(Photos) of the images into another movie clip in SWF(2)
When running SWF(2) stand alone it works fine with a _root command. But when SWF(2) is running on SWF(1) it doesn't work. And initially I had the movie clips with SWF;s 1&2 having the same name so when the button was pressed SWF(1) loaded SWF(Photos) where SWF(2) was.
Is there a command like _root but only going down 1 level?
