What is the code to make you jump to a "Label" in a parent movie clip, when clicking on a button.Lets say the buttons name is push_btn and I am in mc2 and the label is located in mc1.
View 8 Repliesi am trying to use the Tween class to change the size of movie clip to certain height.the code works for me but when resizing the parent, it effects the child.i tried the height and scaleY property for the thum, but does not work.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

i am trying to make a basic preloader for an AS3 site. I followed the tutorial on this site (Preloading actionscript 3 the easy way) where its similar to AS 2 - create a Preloader movie and load the whole .swf into it.
only problem is i need some variables that i pass to the movie via QueryString parameters in the Object and embed tags. Is there any way to get this in my loaded movie?
i have tried
root.loaderInfo.parameters
and
stage.loaderInfo.parameters
and
parent.loaderInfo.parameters
none of them work. Can i create a variable in the prelaoder and just go "parent.thevariable" ? or does parent even work when something is loaded into a loader?
I want to access a sound from the library of a movie which I have loaded in to another movie.In the loaded in movie I can use this on the timeline
var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel;
var mySound:Sound = new Speech;
mySoundChannel = mySound.play();
but I don't know how to write this from the parent movie's timeline.
For example you have a flash with many navigation buttons. Each button will show different page.
Which is the better way: to use scenes or only using movie clips?
I've got a scrolldown menu and want a button w/in that MC to point back to a frame in Scene 1 on the main timeline. How would I do that? I tried the following code but it doesn't work. The frame I'm trying to get to is "facelift" (the site is for a plastic surgeon).
function toFacelift(e:Event) {
gotoAndStop (1, "facelift");
}
faceliftBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, toFacelift);
ok we are talking about as2 here. here is the thing thats bugging me. I made an animation in a movie clip. It is in the first frame of my main(and only) scene which is called "main". At the end of the animation in my movie clip ive set up a frame with the following script:
gotoAndStop("main", 2);
but instead of going to the second frame on my main scene, it goes to the second frame in the movie clip and stops there.
I have a function "GetTime()" in the actions layer of Scene1 In Scene 1 I have a MovieClip called seconds_mc in the actions layer of seconds_mc I want to have a Enter_Frame Event that calls GetTime(). addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ????.myFunction) What replaces the question marks to get me to the function on Scene1?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to call a scene from a movie clip. But nothing works. I tried to label the first frame in the second scene but that didn't work, root and crap also failed. I'm deparate. I was trying to link the chalkboard from the first scene (clipboard) to the second scene (board). There is a button within the movieclip I'm trying to use, but it just doesn't work.
View 1 Repliesim not still working on the project currently... but... im just curious about somthin... i was making a website for a project for school... and i was calling movie clips within movie clips with a lot of telltarget... then within one of them i had a button and i wanted to go to the second scene... but it wouldnt work... it wouldnt go to the scene... my friend had the same problem with somthing he was working on... im just curious if there is a way... like maybe a path or somthing for the scene...
oh yeah... also say i have a movie clip called "clip1" and a movie clip within "clip1" called "clip2"... ok... if i am in "clip2"... is there a way i can access "clip1" from inside of it... like using telltarget sort of inside out like i guess...
I have in the Scene 1, on layer 2, Frame 2 a movie clip named "Festival_conteudo_mc".And inside of this i have a buton ( close_btn ) that I would like to close this movie clip and go to the Scene 1 - to the main menu.On Scene 1 I have my menu buttons ( Festival and Contacts ).
The problem is that i dont know how to make them communicate, I've tryed _root, and As3 tells me it doesnt exist and its replace by Stage...I too new in this stuff. What happens when i put
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,menu)
function menu(Event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
}
It give Script no error, but when i Export the movie a error 1067 is reported.

View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip that i want to use for a button, so that when it is clicked it will move from scene1 to scene2
is there a way to make it change when the movie clip is clicked or is it only possible on a button? i want to use a movie clip because my "button" animates when the mouse hovers over it.
So this is where I'm stumped. I have 2 scenes, the first scene has "mc1" and the second scene has "mc2" and a button inside it. how do i get the button in mc2 to play mc1?
View 2 RepliesThis is what I thought would be pretty easy to do:
- I have 1 scene named: "ucScene"
- I have a Movie clip on frame 1 with instance name "ucMovie"
- Inside this movie clip is a button with instance named "ucButton"
When I click this button I want my "ucScene" to "gotoAndStop" on frame 10

I have been trying to copy a movie clip from the library of one flash and paste it into the library of another. But when I do this, it always gives me, "One or more library items already exist in the document.
I have tried finding and renaming those items, renaming the existing movie clip, and even changing it into a graphic instead. Still it always replaces these certain movie clips in my main flash file.
I even tried the following: Creating a new movie clip in the new file. Then going into the movie clip of the other file I wish to copy over, and trying to copy its frames and put it into the new movie clip i created in the main file. Even then, it says I'm replacing library items!
I am working with an iMAC running 10.6.8.I have created a flash file with only the main scene, which has a List button and a Home button. The List button has 20 links as a scroll list, each link installs a movie clip from the library.The problem I am having is the List button works fine until I add the Home button, then the Home button works fine, but the List button only works on the frame that the action is on. Each button is on it's own layer, and runs the whole length of the show, which is 220 frames. I have a stop label at each place a movie clip is to play.
If I remove the Home button from the main scene and put it into each movie clip, how do I tell the movie clip to go to the main scene frame 1?
I`m new here but as I`m working on my showcase for the university I experience a bit of a flash issues because of being noob What i can`t find out is what script to use so i can make a "back" button in a movie clip to load a designated frame (let`s say frame 5) from the main scene. I`ve tried this:
back_vs.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("sceneOne", 5);
}

View 6 RepliesI have a swf which contains a main menu bar along the top which has been added dynamically at run time. ALl the controls for this bar live inside btnHold One of these buttons loads in a new swf. There is a button within this second swf that I want to use to control the main menu bar in the top layer (I want to make it invisible for a time, or get its layer and then ensure that its not too high etc etc)However, I just can't work out how to target this btnHold from within the newly loaded swf.
View 2 Repliesthis is weird, ive tried all my resources and cant come up with the solution.
heres the heirarchy
Main Stage
sampleStage_mc (this contains all my samples)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (this is the movieclip that houses my buttons)
............................................
what i want to happen is when you click on one of the button_mc, i want it to target a frame label on the "sampeStage_mc" timeline.
heres my code:
Actionscript Code:
toshibaBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toshibaSample);function toshibaSample(evtObj:MouseEvent) { parent.gotoAndPlay("toshiba");}
theres four timelines, here is the outline
button_mc (i click this and it runs the code in sampleStageNavigation timeline)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (timeline that holds the ActionScript and the button_mc)
sampleStage_mc (timeline - this is the one I need to access)
main stage (timeline)
Within ninja.swf, there are six scenes, and in the later 5 scenes, there is an movie clip (consule2)with has a halfdozen buttons (of which one is home_btn) that serve as the navigation across the site. So, in the consule2, I set up an Actions layer, and for Home_btn, have created this piece of code:
//Home Buttonfunction gotodsHome(event:MouseEvent):void{ MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("FullLoaded","01_Landing_Page");}Home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotodsHome);
