ActionScript 3.0 :: Access New Movieclip Using Class?
Mar 26, 2010
I took a template to create a flash game using AS3 and it uses a class that first runs a movieclip where the game is played. So when the game runs, I set a countdown timer to count down from 60 to 0. When it hits 0, I want to go to another movieclip.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to access the other movieclip.
Going further on my app, I felt in another problem. Despite having lots of posts on the web regarding this, none of the solutions worked for me In my document class (Main.as) ve two containers. One empty and another with a star that is being imported from the library. Here´s the main class:
public class MyClass extends MovieClip { public function MyClass():void { my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action); } private function action(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]...
I can't able to access the my_mc(placed in FLA) movieclip. How do I access?
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] .....
So i have a movieclip with a textfield in it. Also there is a class for this Movieclip. This all is exported to a swc that is linked into other projects for reuse purposes. However I cant access the textfield from classes in other projects. I get the 1009 error. Even when accessing ti from the Added to stage event.
what do i put on the normal timeline of the MouseControlled.fla file to target the character that moves around? Like if I wanted to start coding some objects it might hit that I have on the root native timeline how do I reference it?
I was wondering if it was possible to access the document class from within a movieclip.
I am creating a slideshow type project, and I'm using a document class to switch between the frames using the arrow keys. However, in one of the "slideshow screen" movieclips, I want to have it stop, and then play another part when the arrow key is pressed again.
I tried to access my nextScreenToPlay method within the document class, but whenever I try to do it within a movie clip, I get this error: Call to a possibly undefined method nextScreenToPlay through a reference with static type class.
If I do a trace(Main), within a movieclip, it shows the class.
I've created a custom class (not the document class, otherwise there would be no problem) and I want to be able to access a MovieClip that is sitting on the stage.
How? MovieClip(parent), MovieClip(root)... don't work. What's the proper procedure?
Also, can I pass the MovieClip from the Document Class to another custom Class?
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 have a MainTimeLine.as Document Class using as3 in flash cs4.it beginning looks like:[code]where the as file is declared in the Document Class of the primary fla file. under this primary fla file, i have a MovieClip symbol which points to another fla file. well this file declares a Class Linkage and i can access the properties and objects of the embedded symbol fine from the MainTimeLine.as script file.however, i have the above public player variable defined, as shown above, in the MainTimeLine.as code.i am having trouble accessing the player properties/methods from the embedded symbol fla file. how do i do that?
I have a "box_mc" movieclip on the root of my stage and I need to select it from within my Document Class. I thought Stage.getChildByName("box_mc") would work, but it just returns null.
Let's say I have a FLA file with document class called main. In main, let's say I have a method called test1 that just outputs "hello world" via trace. On the FLA I have a movie clip. In that movie clip, when the timeline reaches frame 123, I want it to invoke the test1 method (I just set up a simple action on the frame). However, I get an error saying that the method is undefined. I try this.parent.test1() too but that gives me the same error. Is it not possible to invoke a document class property from within the timeline of a movie clip that's on the stage?
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?
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 ?
I have created a game in flash, and due to the nature of the game, I have many movieclips placed on the stage manually in Flash CS4. They are not programmatically added as children to the stage, and so I am having difficulty getting access to them in the document class. So far the only method I have been able to use is to do stage.addChild(active_area); (for example), but there are many movie clips, all very differently named, so this method seems incorrect.I've discovered that my MovieClips are not children of the stage, but in fact MainTimeline, as when I for loop through stage.getChildAt(i);, only one child, root1, is traced out. How can I access movieclips that were placed on the stage in the timeline from the document class, without having to manually add them as children to the stage? So it looks like my problem wasn't that I couldn't access the MovieClips, it was that I wasn't modifying the MovieClips' values, so I wasn't registering any change in them.
Here is the code after I fixed it: function manage_cursor(e:Event):void { prevX=currX;
I will be choosing which mask to use based on users selection of puzzle piece.When I try to use traingular mask by adding puzzle.gotoAndStop(2) the swf just flickers. Thought the holder_mc and mask_mc are exactly of same dimension one comes below lower than other though I have not altered the position of the clips within a puzzle piece.If you want to take a look at my fla here it is https:[url]....How to go to a specific frame 2. Why is position of two clips inside the piece changing
How is it possible to access another movieclip inside a movieclip, if you have the movieclip linked to a class in the properties. ?
[Code]....
my workaround is to send the attached movieclip into the constructor of the class, then use it from there, this will somehow make it work. But then I'm losing the point in directconnect the baseclip to the class in the properties.. example: attaching mctest.fla (cs4 file) and baseclip.as
I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
