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 have a problem accessing the inside of movieclip i mean child of the movieclip
the code is here
var myMovie:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(myMovie);
var myChild:Sprite = new Sprite();
[Code].....
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")
[Code]....
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]...
View 2 RepliesI 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

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?

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.
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 have the following situation: I create a movieClip and need to access the dynamic textfield that's inside the movieClip in AS3. As follows:
var mcAzul:mcStickerAzul = new mcStickerAzul();
this.addChildAt(mcAzul, 0);
mcAzul.x = 20;

The problem is that always returns the message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Can not access a property or method of a null object reference.
How do you access a button from inside another movieclip?
I have:
_root.bg.B_Start on the stage with B_Start being the instance name of the button on frame 2 of the bg movieclip, which is on frame 2
My code is:
B_Start.onRelease = function() {
trace('ping');
};
I am trying to get ping to be traced when the button is pressed but nothing happens.
In as2 it was possible to access variables created on the _root level from inside a movieclip. Like: _root.myVar =newVar.
How do I accomplish the same in as3.
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.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible on flash to access inside a movie clip of an external swf file?im trying to link this button which is currently inside a movieclip to the frame inside this movieclip of an external swf.[code]
View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 1 RepliesI 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've loaded a external swf, what i want to do is interact with the movieclips inside of that swf.For example there's a box in the external swf, ... I want to add a motion tween to it when I click on a button on the container swf, so that the box pop's in on the stage.
View 2 RepliesI've a main movie with a container movieclip to load an external swf file. That's working fine but I want to control the movieclips of externally loaded movie. I tried the below method but not work out.
Script on the main movie
_root.holder.loadMovie ("1.swf", mytarget); // This is working fine
_root.holder.mytarget.<movieclipname of the externally loaded movie>.onRelease= function (){
// Do something.
}
But the above script not worked out.
I'm trying to load an external swf inside of my movie clip.
meter.loadMovie("external.swf");
I managed to get the above to work but as soon as I press a button in the external movie it reacts with my main movie! So a button in the external movie that makes the timeline go to frame 2 makes the main flash file to goto frame 2. Also, can you load external swf files that use external folders for content? Basically I have an interactive diabetes meter and it's all controlled via scripting ( I didn't create it ) but it has the main swf file which you load. However it references other folders and scripting files.
I'm working on what might be called my first OOP project using AS3. I have no prior programming experience and I'm just starting out learning AS3. So here's my question - The project FLA file has no graphics on its timeline. All the graphics are imported externally through a display class which loads several .swf files onto the main stage. In one of these .swf files there is a MovieClip instance (which is functioning as a mask) by the name of viewArea_mc.
Now I'm working on a new class which has something to do with graphics that will be revealed through the viewArea_mc mask (mentioned above). My question is basically how do I address this viewArea_mc object from this new class? Let's say this new class is a kind of container whose width and height are dependent on the width and height of viewArea_mc. How do I address those properties of viewArea_mc? For example, say I have a variable in this new class called container. Why is this code giving me an error?
Code:
Select allvar container:Sprite = new Sprite;
container.width = 2 * viewArea_mc.width;
The error I get is:
Access of undefined property viewArea_mc
I want to load a external SWF and tween a MovieClip inside the SWF. Is this possible?
TweenMax.to(_loadZone._animation, 1, {frame:40, ease:Quint.easeInOut});
I keep getting this error:

I have a swf called "myfile.swf" with a mp3 set to export for actionscript, and the Class has been called "soundName"With the following code, the sound plays great...
Actionscript Code:
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myfile.swf");var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);swfLoader.load(bgURL);function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void { var tmpSound:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("soundName") as Class; var snd:Sound = new tmpSound() as Sound; snd.play();}
This lets the sound play great. But, because of what I'm trying to do, i would like it better to put the swf into a movieclip, then play the sound from there.
But i cannot seem to get it to work. The following code adds the movieclip to the stage fine, but then i have no way of accessing the library assets (i.e the "soundName" mp3) from the swf inside of the movieclip.
Actionscript Code:
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myfile.swf");var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);swfLoader.load(bgURL);function

I am currently using an external Class file for an instance in my .fla project. It creates an instance of that specific class and has it carry out some functions.I want to access a MovieClip on the stage in the .fla file in the external Class file. How can I do this?For example, the Class file creates an instance of that class, and I want the x and y coordinates of that instance to be equal to that of let's say circle_mc. Now circle_mc is on the stage of the .fla file, and therefore cannot be accessed. How can I get around this?
View 5 RepliesIn my main .swf I have labels on the timeline, navs for those btns are on the first frame of the AS layer and each button sends the playhead to a different frame. On one frame called fr1 there is an mc called mc_1 that appears on stage when the playhead stops there. Inside mc_1 are a set of navigation buttons that need to call external .swfs.
Do I add event listeners on the last frame of mc_1 for each button? how do I call the loaders for the swfs on the buttons since the swfs will load on the main timeline NOT the mc_1 timeline?
So label on main timeline called fr1 will load external1 swf , on fr10 external 2.swf will load and so on.
