ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A MovieClip Inside A MovieClip?
Apr 27, 2011
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.

how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work. I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.
For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");
}
[Code]....
^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I want to dynamically load the graphic of the button into an mc inside each frame of the button (up and over). Inside each frame I have a movie clip (canvas and canvas_over). The green box is the button object (header_btn):
This is my code:
var hLoader:Loader = new Loader();
hLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, hLoaded);
hLoader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
function hLoaded(event:Event):void {
[Code] .....
It would be nice though if as3 allowed for buttons to contain objects.

I have a movieclip with 10 bitmaps in it. I wanna access each of them.
myMovieClip is the movieclip containing those 10 bitmaps. I wanna access those bitmaps one by one. All 10 bitmaps are imported separately. I tried this :
for ( var i =0 ; i< myMovieClip.numChildren ; i++)
{
trace ( myMovieClip.getChildAt(i) );
}
Problem is numChildren comes "1" only, as if it doesnot consider those 10 pieces of bitmap.

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
Transition_mc.addChild(varTransition);

The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
