ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Linked Movie Clip Via DOT Syntax?
Aug 18, 2010
I have a movie clip that exists only in the library linked to a scrollpane component using its linkage identifier (the name of this MC is content_mc). It scrolls perfectly. However, in the movie clip there are additional movie clips I would like to control (green_mc), but for that I need to be able to access them using DOT syntax. How can this be done? I'm assuming that since the movie clip in the library has "export in first frame" checked that I would be able to access it somehow like this[code]...

I have an object named "Defer" that I need to access. That object only exists in frame 2 of a movie clip named: B2_mc. The other 4 frames of the movie clip B2_mc do not contain the "Defer" object. When I try to access "Defer" with the following code:
Defer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, B2Redd);
function B2Redd(event:MouseEvent):void{
B2_mc.gotoAndStop(4);
}
The .swf doesn't run and the error message says I'm attempting to access an undefined property. I've never tried to access an object that wasn't on the stage, so I know my syntax is wrong for trying to access "Defer" since it's not on the stage. What's the correct syntax for drilling down to an object that may be buried deep somewhere?

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;

I'm designing an interface which lets the user control the timeline of a movie clip, by dragging a slider up or down with the mouse. And I can now drag the slider around, an archivement for which I am way proud. But I have some problems:
1) When the user drag the curser away from the slider movie clip and let go of the mouse buttom, the MOUSE_UP is not detected. I need a way to detect a MOUSE_UP in general.
2) The current frame of mcTheAnimation should always be locked to the vertical position of the slider. How do I access the timeline of that movie clip?[URL]..

4) Once it is go down, the button lablel again to be changed "GoUp"
Just like toggle between GoUp & GoDown buttons.
Note: The Square (Box_mc) is on the same form since there is only one layer.

I have a flash file which uses php to manipulate a database and returns a variable (data_xml) of xml formated data from the database. This happens, along with other things, within the parent. Now I have a child movieclip that displays the parsed data but I am having trouble accessing the variable from within the child movieclip. The code related to this is:
var myXML:XML = new XML();var myXML = XML(event.currentTarget.root.data_xml);
and I get the following two errors which point to the second line as the problem:
1151: A conflict exists with definition myXML in namespace internal.
Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.
I have unchecked "Automatically declare stage instances" because I've seen that suggested for the 1151: error, but I still get the same two errors.

I have a button (myButton_btn) which is nested inside a few movie clips. How do I access it from the main time line? Does this look like a proper code:
firstLevel_mc.secondLevel_mc.thirdLevel_mc.myButton_btn.addEventListen er(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_goHome);
function onClick_goHome(event:MouseEvent): void {
this.gotoAndPlay("homesequence");
}

I have movie clip in an array (newStep) that is being added to the stage dynamically. It's randomly choosing a frame to go to every time an instance is added. There is a nested movie clip (stepLine) that i need to change the alpha of. This code actually works for adding a string to to the dynamic text box (pointsDText) but when i try to access the nested movie clip (stepLine) it gives me 1009 null object reference error. The funny thing is the code actually works and does change the alpha of the movie clip but i still get that error, and i think it's making my game more glitchy. I've tried using if(contains(steps[r].stepLine)) too but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to access this movie clip without getting the error?
if(newStep != null){
for(var r:int = 0; r<steps.length;r++){
if(steps[r].currentLabel == "points"){

I'm having an issue accessing a video that is in its own movieClip and is part of a parent movie clip. It's on a different keyframe from the 1st frame where the majority of my Acitionscript 3 is running from. I keep getting this error that says it can't access it because the instance of it hasn't been created or isn't on the stage yet.

Basically I have an movie clips which contains various other movie clips. These other clips are named clip1_mc etc.This big movie clip is dropped onto a frame in the main timeline so it plays when the program loads. I have my main actions on the timeline and I want to access the movie clip instance names inside the big clip. Is there a call to maybe get the children or contents of a clips using an event listener?

I can't seem to access the alpha property of a movie clip. I can change it's y x position but not the alpha....
This works great: loader2.lettercontainer.letter_mc1._y=50;
But this doesn't do anything: loader2.lettercontainer.letter_mc1._alpha=50;
The movieclip "letter_mc1" contains a createTextField with one letter in it. I'm completely lost why this isn't working....
