ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing MovieClip User-made Members
Jan 7, 2010
I have a Card Class which corresponds to a MovieClip from my Library. Inside that MovieClip, I have placed some TextFields and a MovieClip, manually, not via code. But when I try to instance a Card, it crashes and say "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property back_mc on core.Card."
First of all, I'm not trying to create anything, I'm trying to declare stuffs for further use. This would work in AS2. When extending MovieClip with ActionScript, am I supposed to build every member via code? Can I not benefit from the wysiwyg editor???
note: ClientObject extends MovieClip for those who wonder :-)
I was actually looking for the adobe docs online that would cover syntax like the following:
SWFLoader(event.target).content['wrFont']
That's from my own code, so obivously I know it works, its just that after 2 years of Flex programming, I have still not encountered any sort of formal documentation on the rules governing this access method (i.e. like in the above where I'm accessing the wrFont member of the loaded SWF via an array index syntax and a string.
Specifically, it would be things like, determining if the referenced member even exists - what would be the standard method for doing that (Surely not just a try-catch block right?). But not just that, but formal Adobe Documentation on all relevant aspects of the above. I've downloaded all zipped adobe docs off of their live docs site - where is all this fully documented.ON a side note, something that's always bugged me about google, is that with a search string like ".content[" it just ignores the "[" character as irrelevant, though if I could just find that search string I would have my answer. But google doesnt search for characters like "[" evidently. Neither does Bing. Does any search engine do this.
I made a flash animation (click here) and I put a preloader made by an user by drag'n'drop. So all works ok but after animation if I refresh the page (by F5) preloader loops without load nothing!
i want to make a tour for my website there are 2 applications the first one in the site (this app made by Action script)and the second one in the server the last one made by C# store where the user reach last.
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.
I'm new to AS3 and I'm currently trying to code a project that allows the user to dissect an image made of movie clips:
Code: var rightniptime:Timer = new Timer(100, 6); function rightnipfall(event:TimerEvent): void { rightnip_mc.y+=100;[code].....
I have literally duplicated this bit of code for the sixty movieclips that comprise this image. This would be fine, but I need another image (again, comprised of about sixty movieclips) to appear, and have the same functionality as the first, once the pieces of the first image have left the stage.I have been reading articles about classes, creating classes; my teacher gave me vague advice about creating a number that increments as the images fall and then creating a conditional statement that would display the new image once the pieces of the first have reached a particular Y location. But at this point I'm on the verge of tears and can't seem to make it work.
I'm shwoing a step by step process on how I did a photoshop piece, and I want to have a simple flash swf that goes through each of the screenshots at the viewer's pace, by them clicking. I wasn't even thinking so complicated as to include forward/back buttons, even just somethign so simple as having the entire image clickable to move 'forward' and when it gets to the end it just loops or something. super simple, i would do an animaged gif but i want it to be at the user's own pace. but if you think of how an animated gif cycles that's how simple i want it to be. also a few of fading/dissolivng between the images would be cool.
How do I code for a "Return or Enter" keystoke made by the user? wordinput1_txt is a multiline with wrap on input textbox. When submit_btn is pressed it should then make tick_mc or cross_mc visible drepending if the inputed text (Blue Chair Two) was correct. When testing, only cross_mc is made visible even when the inputed text is correct. This works fine when using a single line input text box and the user doesn't do a return or the text wrappping. I'm asking this now 'cos later in the project there will be a test with upto four lines of text for the user to input.
Anyone let me know wether if pixel calculations are made swf files and when they r made to fullscreen wether they will remain the same in any monitor size?
I have a generic function to build rows of controls (each row comprising of sliders, radio buttons, reset buttons, text display) etc, and some functionality to change underlying data based on these
As I didn't want to write specific code for each row, I had code written by which I can detect the row on which there has been a mouseevent, and though the row access each individual control
I want to save logs of user's operation by accessing log script file(for example, log.php) with post or get parameter from my flash application.The flash is web application not desktop application.In jQuery, javascript can access other files on the web site by using the following code:
So I created a flash banner and I want the whole banner to be clickable I made an invisble button on the timeline into a movie clip and insdie the movieclip in the actions layer my code is thi:
i'd like to know if its possible to save information obtained from users to files if the user is accessing the flash file from a cd. I would also like to know how it works if possible. And can the flash file be in .exe instead of .swf?
I have got two movieclips on the main timeline. First one is envelope_mc and second is bg_main. In envelope_mc timeline there is a button on 25th frame which plays ahead when clicked. Here's the code for first movieclip:
Code on_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAhead); function playAhead(event:MouseEvent):void { play(); }I have also got some animation on bg_main which

I am trying to access the variable myParentVariable within the function myParentFunction() from the MovieClip's myMovieClip_mc function myMovieClipFunction().
I know that It works if I declare the variable myParentVariable outside of the myParentFunction() but I don't really want to do that
main timeline //-------------------------------------------------------------------- --- myParentFunction(); function myParentFunction():void
I'm trying to access a parent movieClip from the child movieClip
Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.
I have created a new instance of a movieclip and named it in as3.
I want to put this in another movieclip. How does this effect the reference because everything seems fine while the dynamic movieclip is just dealing with the stage. As soon as I put it in a movieclip, I get:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com::Gallery/instancesOut()
Heres part of my code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++){ var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition(); addChild(transition); transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; transition.x = i * 100;
I can reference using the string name but if I put the addchild in a movieclip it errors
I made a script that creates a MovieClip (two stationary Ovals, side by side) from the library and transports them from the left side of the stage to the right.The idea would be to make the RIGHT Oval decrease in size as the MovieClip is traveling while keeping the LEFT Oval the same size. (All of them being part of an Array)I thought to convert the right Oval to a MovieClip within the parent MovieClip, but I have not been able to access the ".width" and ".height" of the nested MovieClip.Not sure whether I'm on the right track or not.
I'm trying to build a website but i'm experiencing some troublesI now have 1 movieclip "menu" on my stage wich contains my navigation bar (home, contact, gallery,...) and on the same stage i have a movieclip "middle" wich contains 3 frames 1 for home, contact etc... What i wan't to do now is write my code in the "menu" movieclip and access the 3 frames in my "middle" movieclip, so what i wrote in "menu" was this:
I have a helicopter that i have drawn in the flash ide as a movieclip inside my library and a turret as a seperate movieclip that has been dragged from the library onto my helicopter movieclip.Is there anyway to programattically access that turret movieclip for a seperate instance of the helicopter?
e.g.
Code: var helicopter1 = new Helicopter(); var helicopter2 = new Helicopter(); addChild(helicopter1);
I have installed the entire Helvetica Neue LT font family on my PC running Windows XP. There are 51 different variants in this family. While I have had issues before with Flash not recognizing that the fonts I have are the same as those in a .fla file created elsewhere, I used to be able to just map the fonts to the same font (which might have a slightlydifferent name) in the font substitution window. However, I now find that, of the 51 variants, only 21 are available to me in Flash CS3. I have tried many different solutions, including uninstalling the fonts and rebooting and re-installing. I also found a forum that suggested I delete a particular Adobe file which caches the font list
I've worked with AMFPHP for a while, but with Adobe supporting ZendAMF, I was wondering if I should migrate.
One of the major disadvantages for AMFPHP is that class mappings need to be public, so not only does that mean public members on the PHP side, but also on the Flex side. I was wondering if it is the same case for ZendAMF.
I have two objects, both brown squares. I want them to be members of the same class but one square to have a number "1" in the center and the other to have a number "2" in the center. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Any clues on how to instantiate a vector drawing (drawn in illustrator) from ActionScript 3 as opposed to dragging it on stage from the library in flash?
