If I wanna to access a variables which located on frame 1 of the main stage, can I write a script to access that in a movieclip which located in frame 2?
Or the movieclip has to be in frame 1 to access that variable using parent method?
On my movie clip timeline, what's the syntax to access a variable on a main stage timeline?
View 1 RepliesI 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:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
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?
I can't access a variable on a the stage from within a movieclip thats placed on the stage.
View 4 RepliesI'd like to access the stage of the main timeline from w/i a class that extends a movieclip. Basically, I have a button in the main timeline that makes a HUD appear. The HUD is an extended MovieClip class. When people click on a button in the HUD, I'd like to remove the object from the stage of the main MovieClip.I think your confusion may come from the fact that I am running this code from a class definition file. Clicking on a button w/i this object should remove it from the DisplayList of the MainTimeline. Here's the code from the class definition file:
package classes {
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
trace(e.currentTarget.parent.parent) gets me the MainTimeline, and trace(e.currentTarget.parent.parent.stage) appears to return the main stage, but I cannot use removeChild w/o getting an error that I am trying to coerce the stage to be a DisplayObject (which it ought to be).What's on the stage of the MainTimeline: A single button that, when clicked, adds an instance of the Answers class to the stage.
From within a movie clip, I'm trying to update variables on my main timeline. I tried both _parent.variablename and _root.variablename, but neither worked.
View 4 RepliesThere are two files in my actionscript project named "TestAPP", TestAPP.as and Draggable.as
TestAPP.as:
package {

In "my actionscript theory", I'm supposed to see a circle that follows the mouse when I click it. (The draggable is not fully implemented) But the circle doesn't even budge .how to access the main class's stage property. I've googled for it, but still no progress.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :
Code: Select alltrace(MovieClip(root)[screenMode]);
But this doesn't work too.
I have a program that plays swf files in the UILoader. The program counts the number of customers that use the program by adding 1 to a variable called customerCount each time a button is pressed. I am trying to design one of the swf files so that it can access and diaplay the accumulated value of customerCount. Can someone help me to find the actionscript code that will let me display the value of customerCount in the swf file.

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
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?
How can I access the member variable of an object by using a variable in the name.Example:
Entries Object has properties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Normally I would access them by
var i : int = Entries.1;

View 11 RepliesI have a site that I'm working on that I am loading an external swf page into a main one. The main one is based on a totally liquid state and stretches the background to fill the browser and the components are relatively position based on browser window dimensions.
Now inside of the main swf I load an external swf through the loader command. This swf has a set dimension and stays centered in the stage.
I am trying to make a button in this swf that loads yet another swf that is stretches the full browser. However I do not know how to access the properties of a main swf from this external one, or if this is even possible.

Is there a way to access variables on the main timeline in Flash other than MovieClip(root).myVar ? The problem I am having is that I have a movie clip that uses several main timeline variables, but when I instantiate it, it throws a 1009 type error (cannot access property of null object reference). My understanding of whats going on (and please correct me if I am wrong) is that when instantiated it runs the code on the first frame of the movieclip. However, it is not added to display list yet, so it does not have a root. Thus, all the MovieClip(root).myVar lines do not have a root to look at. Does anyone know of a way around this?

How do I access objects in main application, I tried application, or main, they don't work.
as always, this seemed simple in AS2, but i am stumped with this simple command in AS3.
i have a main timeline [one scene] that has multiple movies, one after each other, in different frames. i need the buttons that are placed in a layer below the movies to access various movies in the scene. was really simple in AS2.
it appears that i can get my button to go to the frame, but the movie contained in the frame will not load and or play. [i have 2 frames dedicated to each movie, the second frame, in the actions layer has a stop command]. the following is the actionscript and the errors i am getting.
AS3:
food_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playfood);
function playfood(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("food");
}
