ActionScript 3.0 :: Access String Value Inside Of MovieClip?
Jun 10, 2011
Now one of the functionality that's added to the player is the "Transcript Button", which shows subtitles in a small window.Well, what I've done is added text on keyFrames of the main timeline,so if the audio says "Hello good evening, welcome,....", I've made a new layer above the audio layer and during that particular part of audio I've added the text on the new layer in a keyFrame.I've done this for the entire timeline.I've used enterFrame and accessed this String value and displayed it in the small window.Everything seems to work well.But if a certain movieClip popup is added on the timeLine, which has its own audio.o necessarily I'll have to add the text to this movieClip as well, but I cant access the text, i.e, display it in the small window.Also I've tried using a global variable like this,...
I've basicly made a rollover menu which is nested inside a movieclip. the movieclip is put on 1 st. frame on the main timeline and I want the buttons inside the movie clip to take the user to a different frame on the main timeline, but no matter what I do it's just not working... here is some of he solutions i have tried to do:
function work1(e:Event) { //MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndStop("work1") //gotoAndStop("work1")
I want that this button to the clicado being executes the function stop in one movie clip, I call this button stop2, it will go to only appear when dust button that this in timeline primary will be clicado, the button if flame drinks, that this in timeline primary, and another one calls stop, that also this in timeline primary, buttons xi (timeline primary) and paraMc (timeline inside of movieclip) the two has the function of for the animation of the other movie clip called " simbolo".
I want to know I eat to place action in the button paraMc that he is inside of movie clip for, remembering that the button paraMc only appears in the screen when the clica user in the button in the green color.I already tried to make: para.paraMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,simbolo); but it did not function, The square in the black color is movie clip that it contains a button of it inside, when clicar in the button of green color, the function reproduces movie clip in the gray color and movie clip in the black color that contains the button. the button in the red color calls the function " chega" , the button in the black color that is inside of movie clip also calls this function.
I have 2 movieclips. One is a fairy flying up the stage. The other movieclip is a magic dust, which is originally designed to generate magic dust with onMouseMove event, based on the mouse's x & y. I want to change the the magic dust movieclip so it will generate magic dust following the fairy's movement.[code]...
I have a ScrollPane component to stage and I give it as source a new MovieClip instance. How can I access the movieclip inside scrollpane? This is what I have so far but it returns null:
var regForm = new RegistrationForm(); regForm.name = "rForm"; regFormSP.source = regForm; var form = Object(regFormSP.content).getChildByName("rForm"); trace(form) // returns null
[Code]..
There is an object "instance20" as a parent to rForm...Why is that?
I can't acces my MC that was created inside my class. 've got a MC "bttn" on my stage, if u create an instance of the BttnClass a copy of the MCbttn is made and given an other position, than I want to play the bttn's(contains multiple frames) and NOTHING happens. The Bttn's are copied,but I can't play them. So my class works but how can I play my buttons?
Class file: ActionScript Code: class Bttn { //variables private var num:Number //constructor function public function Bttn(i) { [Code] .....
Assume on root i have a movie clip called table then inside table i have a movie clip called foot.
normally if i need to set foot's alpha to zero i can just do
table.root.alpha=0 from the main timeline it should work ok
but this works only as long as i have foot in the first frame of the movie clip table, if i have foot movie clip in lets say frame 100 apearing and not apearing in the first frame of table then i cant access property of foot from the root
unless the movie clip plays and reach the instance where foot is defined.
I am loading an external swf into my main swf. From my main swf I am trying to access a movieclip inside the external swf.
My code:
Code: trace(contentLoader.getChildByName("mask_mc").y); trace(contentLoader.getChildByName(event.target.mask_mc.name).x); (contentLoader is my loader, the mc iam trying to access is mask_mc)
I searched the forum but could not find solution to my particular problem.Here is the scenario,I have a movieclip with two textfields in library.There is a tilelist component on stage to which data provider is assigned at runtime.After that movieclip inside each tile will get updated with related texts.But the thing is i'm not able to access movieclips inside tiles.
I have a movie clip symbol placed on the main timeline. The class linkage to that movie clip is Sheet. Inside Sheet class, I make a public string call _textRow. Inside the Sheet's constructor, I create a new TextField call values_txt. Inside the Sheet class again, I create a public function call updateTable().
The document class is Main. From the Main.as, I need to call updateTable() function to update the text inside values_txt. And I need to find a way to get to values_txt. That's where my problem lies.
Actionscript Code: package{//imported stuff herepublic class Sheet extends MovieClip{public var _textRow:String = " Lorem Lorem again";public function Sheet(){addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initSheet);}public function
[Code]....
Basically, I need to run Sheet's updateTable() from Main.as and update the values_txt.text with _textRow string. But I don't know value_txt's target path.
I'm using a movieClip inside a ScrollPane to show a list of CheckBoxes. The amount of CheckBoxes shown is dynamic, it depends on a SQL query. After the query is done, I add as many CheckBoxes as rows in the result set. What I am trying to do is to access some methods I wrote in the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane to get the length of the CheckBoxes, check which ones are selected and the label they have (their label is also defined by the SQL query).
I've tried this valueINeedToGet = Object(root).scrollPaneInstance.source.functionINeedToRun(); But it returns error #1006 How can I access the code inside the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane?
I'm new to AS3 so please bare with me with this basic question.I have the following codes and I followed the answer from this question, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm not getting an error or getting a trace response.
Basically I need to access this test_mc inside the added child. Am I doing something wrong?
I am making a profile sort of thing, basically what happens is: You start the program... it loops, and generates 500 text fields, it stores them in an array called profile_name[]; it names them "Profile + (i+1) (i being the var used in the loop). Changes the colour to yellow, changes the size to 13. Removes the border from it and makes it unselectable (the text). It then converts the text into a movie clip (as if you made a dynamic text area, on the stage, and clicked it, and pressed f8, and converted to mc). It stores that in an array called profile_mcs[]. I need a way to access the text inside the movie clip in both they're arrays...
Example If you go to your flash stage, make some dynamic text, call it "ptxt1", you make it unselectable, remove any border if it has one... you name the text "test", you select it, press f8, then convert to a movie clip called "test_text" you name it "pbtn1" (the instance name I mean, when I say name) If you go to the first frame of your main timeline and press f9 (action script section) type pbtn1.test.text = "NEW TEXT", it will name the text "test" inside the mc "pbtn1" to NEW TEXT...
However, if you store them into an array (both text and mc) you can no longer reference them like this: MyMC_Array[0].MYText_Array[0].text = "NEW TEXT", It doesn't show up, and making 500 if statements is to much (I think my problem may be when I traced my dynamic text inside the movie clip (that I've made on the stage) it appears as undefined.
Code: var profile_name:Array (my text var) = [ptxt1, ptxt2, ptxt3, etc..]; I've tried doing Code: var profile_name:Array = [pbtn1.ptxt1, pbtn2.ptxt2]; etc.. None works,
I have attached the actionscript file on stage, however I can't access function or variables inside movieclip. Instead I can access them on main timeline, is there a way to access function and variables inside movieclip
I created a movieclip symbol and exported to actionscript, I created the .as file:
class BRIQUE extends MovieClip { function BRIQUE() {
[Code].....
"graphics" is an image imported on the stage inside my symbol, but it seems not to be accessible this way (I get an error), nevertheless it works this way in as3 then what is the right way in as2 ?
It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I have a string that contains a full name input, and I would like to spilt them into 2 parts and save them inside an array, first name and last name. How do I do it with string.split? My current code is myNameArray = str_adminInput.split(" "); This code only works if the names are : Jack Lee, June Poh. This code does not work if the names are: Lee Tok Kong, Tan Beng Seng.
I really need to reference the variable while INSIDE the onRelease function, because I need to apply some actions based on how many times the button has been pressed.
I want to add another short string inside it... (for example : 01 or something). But this short string always has to apear just before the dot, like:
image01,jpg picture01.jpg photo01.jpg
I already found out how i can add a string inside it... but when the first string is longer the second string ofcourse doesn't show up on the right place..
Is there a way to search for a piece of actionscript code inside the whole of the fla? I have a project with multiple library movieClips that contain actionscript and I was wondering if its possible to search the whole fla for a specific as3 piece of code?
