+ I have a code in frame#1; + I have an object in frame #2 (but this object doesn't exist in frame #1);
Comment: In AS2 I could use something like:
Code:
gotoAndStop(2);
// code for object
gotoAndStop(1);
It doesn't work any more in AS3.
How I can access object in frame #2 from frame#1? Any other way except using custom classes?
I have a MovieClip symbol created with flash in a fla file library. There is a textfield in frame one of this movieclip's timeline . There is another frame in the movieclip timeline. There is a custon class definition for this symbol. It is a flipping card in a memory game.
I access the textfield by going to frame 2 (gotoAndStop(2)) and setting the textfield's text property ( this.field.text = "hello" ). However if I go to frame 1 and then return to frame 2, the text becomes the original one in the library's symbol. I have to modify the text propery again in a showFace method I've written.
Besides, I cannot pass parameters in the constructor because it is a symbol in the library and that would give errors.Is there a way I can set properties inside frames permanently?
I am creating a point and click game.In the bottom corners of the screen there are two arrows for changing the area. When these arrows are clicked, the only thing that is supposed to happen is a frame change. For some reason, objects are being carried from the frame they are supposed to be on to the frame that is changed to and they stack up each time the frame changes. I don't even see how this is possible without writing code specifically for it. Here is the code in one of the objects being transferred:
Code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
var DepthCorrection = 0;[code]...
Nothing in that could possibly make it move to a different frame and it has no instance name so nothing can reference it to bring it to one.Here is the code for changing frames:
Code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
var Frame = _global.Area + 1;[code]...
I've had problems with gotoAndStop() before where it went to the wrong frame and only displayed certain objects on that frame.
I have a MovieClip who's added on stage by code.I would like to access to rond2(which are an instance of rond on frame 10) but one error appeared like you can see.This the code that i've maked on first frame on the scene:
var monCarre:MovieClip = new mv_carres();monCarre.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, leDire);
addChild(monCarre);monCarre.x=275;monCarre.y=200;//monCarre.rond2.alpha=0; <<<<L'éxécution de cette ligne provoque une erreur
function leDire(e:Event):void{ trace("monCarre est ajouté");}
I am having some trouble using Action script to access Instances on a timeline. Lets say that I have a MovieClip in my library that has three frames (frame number 1, 2 and 3) and each frame has sprite with the instance name IMAGE (each sprite is an instance of a different library object.) The MovieClip has the linkage name ThreeFrameClip. I can create an instance of this MovieClip like this:
Var MyClip:MovieClip = new ThreeFrameClip();
I now want to make all of the sprites invisible. How do I do this? Is there a way to access each frame using an array like this:
MyClip.frame[1].IMAGE.visible = false;
MyClip.frame[2].IMAGE.visible = false;
MyClip.frame[3].IMAGE.visible = false;
[Code].....
This kind of frame access had been a big problem for me in many different projects. I really do not like the second method.
I have a movieclip that is exported for actionscript and has a class linked to it.In the actual movieclip I have two dynamic text fields ex: tf1 and tf2. tf1 is on frame 1 of the movieclip and tf2 is on frame 2.In the constructor I pass two strings as arguments ex: s1 and s2, one for tf1 and one for tf2.So in the constructor I am trying to assign these values to the textfields i.e:tf1.text = s1;tf2.text = s2;But, because tf2 is on frame 2, I cannot access it.I think I read something somewhere that all variables and objects that are on frame 1 are global. But this is not what I am working with, I need to access tf2 which is on frame 2.
View 1 Replies1, Seems like a standard job, but somehow this doesnt work: Movieclip called "Button" lies in the library.I instantiate it in code:
Code:
var button:MovieClip = new Button();
I have a dynamic textfield with an instance name of "description_text" in it, but if I try to access it (e.g: change the text), I get an error. This is how I do it:
Code:
(button.getChildByName("description_text")as TextField).text = "Success";
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Why is this not working?
2, I know it's easier to just have the movieclip invisible on all frames except the ones that I need it.
I've created a movie clip and within that movie clip I've posted my animation, thus making an animation within one keyframe (this makes it easier to manage because instead of having to say "gotoAndPlay(70)" I can put "gotoAndPlay(1)" for the standing animation, "gotoAndPlay(2)" for the moving animation, etc.) But I don't know how to refer to the certain frames within that one keyframe via AS3.

I've successfully access a web service in as3 and pulled the xml from it into a large array of objects
ie

This has to be accessed at a later point by the UI in order to build itself. I can't figure out how to create a loop or method or whatever to access this array.
I need several ways of accessing it, so maybe I'm thinking of a method called accessSpecificItem(propertyName:String); <- to set up each UI item traceOutAllItems(arrayName:Array); <- for testing countNumberOfItems(arrayName:Array); <- for the UI to figure out how many items it needs to build
I'm practically new to flash and action script and i'm currently trying to code something. I have a *.fla file with a dynamic text..I created a separate *.as file for the action script. My question is how can i reference the dynamic text properties? for example if i put the following code on my *.as file dynamic_txt.text = "place your text here" this will produce 1120: Access of undefined property dynamic_txt..How can i reference the dynamic text on my *.fla from my *.as?

I have a MovieClip MainGame that is associated with my external AS File where all the code lies. Everything works really well but.. I place an object inside the MainGame movieclip and give it an instance name . Now when I try to access it from the .as it says "Access of undefined property xy.."
I tried it with textboxes and movieclips, all the same.. I know it worked 20 times exactly like this and I have even compared an older Game where I accessed it just like this.... I really don't know what Flash is playing on me..
Access Objects from a external .swf i loaded a flash mx movie into a flash 8 movie, and now i need to detect if a button of the loaded movie is pressed but i simply dont know how.
i used:
Code:

news_mcl.loadClip("source.swf", newscontainer_mc);
to load the movie, and i have a movieclip inside it with the instance name "read", and i need the code to put in the parent movie (the flash 8 one) to detect a onRelease on that "read" movieclip.
anyone knows a way to access the skewing of objects with as?
the best i found was manipulating xscale and yscale with rotation aplyed..
I'm trying to access a MovieClip created within the authoring tool from an ActionScript class. Here is my code:
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class MoreVideos extends Sprite {
[Code].....
I also tried changing that to [stage.moreVideosBox.visible = false;], but I then got "1119: Access of possibly undefined property moreVideosBox through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."
Is it possible to directly alter items in the authoring tool from a class? If I move 'moreVideosBox.visible = false;' outside of the class, in the main .as file, it works fine.
i have textfield myTxt on stage, and i have Room.as class file.

Way to make a dynamically created object and remove it when it hits another dynamically created object, like a bullet?
View 9 RepliesI've never actually fooled around with 2d arrays that much. What I need is to access an array and get all the objects inside of it. I actually mocked up a little something to mirror what I want.
ActionScript Code:
var arr:Array = [[{name:"Hat", price:"34", url:"http://www.google.com"},
{name:"Scarf", price:"38", url:"http://www.yahoo.com"},
[code]....
I don't have any trouble getting the data, but as you can see that it's pushing each object separately in an array. So it would look like this: I just need to get all of the objects first like {obj}, {obj}, {obj} and then push them into an array.
