ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Movie Clip In A Loaded Swf
Oct 22, 2009
I am loading a swf file(As2.0) into my As3.0 application. The loading rocess works fine. I want to know how i can acces a button in the loaded swf through my as3.0 program. For example: i have a movie clip in my loaded swf called submit. In my as3 program i want to be able to wrie functionality foe the submit button.
this is my AS3.0 code
//------------Load swf into the application-------------//var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.swf");mLoader.load(mRequest);gameLoader.addChild(mLoader);
In test .swf i have a movie clip called pressBtn. I want to be able to access this movieclip in my AS3.0 code. gameLoader is a movieclip on the stge of my as3.0 fla.
I am building an interface that loads swfs externally into an array(pre-loader) my code places these swfs into a container movie clip on stage when called.I am trying to access the swf that is now a child of the movie clip so i can rewind, pause, and play the swf.Currently they are loading in just fine, but my code isn't able to touch the swf. The swfs also play all the way through when they are loaded so when i change to the next one of the sequence my swf is already at its end frame.
Here is the code:
Actionscript Code: stop();//Variable creation-----------------------------------------------------------------var _swfLoader:Loader;var _swfRequest:URLRequest;//creates an array with all the swfs locations inside--------------------------------var _swfPathArr:Array = new
I am currently building an interface that loads externally loaded swfs into a movie clip on stage. I have no problem loading them in and switching between them. I am, however, having an issue accessing the swf, so that i can rewind, pause, and play the loaded swf.
Here is the code:
ActionScript Code: stop(); //Variable creation----------------------------------------------------------------- var _swfLoader:Loader;
I'm writing a card game in AS3. The artist I'm working with has produced (in Flash CS4) a single swf-file containing all the card graphics and animations. The structure of the fla working file looks something like this:
In the program I create 52 instances of my Card class, each having a MovieClip instance created from the loaded swf. The idea is to set the frame of the CardValueImage MovieClip to correspond to the Card instance's suit and rank member variables. However, I can't figure out how I access CardValueImage and call gotoAndStop (or whatever method I will need to call).
How would you go about accessing a function or variable from a parent clip if the clip accessing has been loaded using the Loader() constructor in AS3?
I'm trying to access a variable from my main movie in a loaded movie. I can't get it to work however. The movie loads into the main movie but I can't access anything from that main movie. I see that there a few write ups out there about this, but I just can't get it. I attached a zip as well as the source below.
here is the main movie script
function mainTimeline() { trace ("Just friggin work already"); } var myNumber:Number = 5;
I've been trying to load a movie clip from a movie clip that has been loaded. I am trying to provide a simple means to change the look / feel of the flash application by placing the graphics and controls into a second swf. Each different screen is represented by a different movie clip that is in the second swf. So I've got app.swf loading ui.swf. I want to load screen1_mc from ui.swf.
The app.swf is loaded by a master swf. There may be multiple copies of the app.swf that can be loaded by the master.swf and each app.swf could be configured differently. For each "unique" app.swf it is stored under a unique folder that is not known to me in advance. Since I don't know the unique folder in advance, I can't use import / export for runtime sharing. Is there any way to load the movie clips from the loaded movie clip? (Basically, I want to treat the ui.swf as an extension to the library.)
I'm working on a flash site and I'm having some trouble with the programming for it. I'm not so great at action script, so I'm hoping that my troubles are caused by my own stupidity and that some cool smart person will have an answer for me. So, I have a main menu flash file that functions like the one in this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm I set it to load various swf files and it's works just fine. What I want to do is have it load a swf that functions exactly the same (buttons that load external clips with transitions) as the main swf- this is a sub page menu. So, in theory, the sub menu page should load the final content, and three swfs would be seen stacked ontop of each other.
I changed the instance names in the sub menu file to be different than that in the main menu file. This fixed the original problem of it loading the content clip into the clip that the sub menu should stay in. Now, It loads the sub menu just fine, but then it gets stuck and never loads the content. The sub menu buttons will not function at all. Independent of the main menu, the sub menu file works perfectly What can I do??? Does it have anything to do with the "_root"? I never understood the concept, so I'm having trouble with it.
I'm running into an error accessing a movieclip from a loaded swf. Inside of my loadedMovie.swf file, I have a movie with the instance name of "bg". I want to change the width of that to movie clip when it is loaded into the parent movie but I'm getting an error saying "Access of possibly undefined property bg through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader."
Code: Select all/* ---------- LOADER ---------- */ var myLoader: Loader = new Loader(); myLoader.load(new URLRequest("loadedMovie.swf"));
I've got a simple ActionScript 1 FLA. The SWF will take incoming variables from SWFObject. e.g. txtVar01, txtVar02, txtVar03 On the first keyframe on the main stage, I have a dynamic textfield, whose 'Variable' name is 'txtVar01'. When I view the SWF in a web page, via SWFObject, the value in the textfield matches that taken from the SWFObject variable. BUT - I have a MoveClip in the FLA, which has 2 other dynamic textfields, called txtVar02 and txtVar03.
When I view the SWF in the web page, these are empty, even though variables are being passed via SWFObject. I guess because the dynamic textfields are within an MC and not on the main stage, they can't access the variable names. I tried adding this to the first frame on the stage:
I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.
I have a movieclip in stage with instance name 'ts'.
I have a class Test.as
How should i refer to MovieClip 'ts' in stage from my Test class. Say for example I want 'ts' to gotoandstop at frame2.I tried root.ts but received a error.
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.
Iam new to actionscript 3.0. I have a movieclip in stage with instance name 'ts'.
I have a class Test.as How should i refer to MovieClip 'ts' in stage from my Test class. Say for example I want 'ts' to gotoandstop at frame2.I tried root.ts but received a error.
I have a Flash file with Movice Clips that are placed on the stage at author time. Let's say one of the clips is called "stageClipMC".[code]Tracing "stageClipMC" return "undefined". From this class, how would I access the clip on the stage? I have tried different variations on "MovieClip(root)" and "MovieClip(stage)" to no avail.
I have a movie clip on the root which contains my menu. And another movie clip which plays my video. Basically when i click a menu item it calls a function which i want to able to send a command to my video player to play another video.
This is code inside my video player movie clip (i've missed out the including of the class and various config stuff - below is just so you see the name of the class instance)
var MDVideo:MD_VideoPlayer; var videoPath:String = "assets/ski_video.flv"; MDVideo = new MD_VideoPlayer(videoPath, local_config_obj);
[Code]....
How do i access the MDVideo instance from my menu movie clip?
i know its probably been answered here before but I havent been able to find exactly what i need to make it work. Plus this is my first time doing AS3 so
I need help applying the color transform function to a movie clip that exists inside of a button. I want to keep the button a button (as opposed to making it a movie clip as well with onclick and hover handlers) as I already have behaviors built into it and would rather not recreate it. I have the path to the object
[Code]...
Can anyone tell me how to use the colorTransform function on Movie Clips inside of buttons. Is there another way to indicate this path? I am using CS4 and actionscript 3.
Im trying to downgrade an AS3 project i have and i've run into a bit of an issue. Specifically... when loading an external movieclip using MovieClipLoader i want to access the stage height and width of the movie. I have tried using:
I have an object named "Defer" that I need to access. That object only exists in frame 2 of a movie clip named: B2_mc. The other 4 frames of the movie clip B2_mc do not contain the "Defer" object. When I try to access "Defer" with the following code:
Defer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, B2Redd); function B2Redd(event:MouseEvent):void{ B2_mc.gotoAndStop(4); }
The .swf doesn't run and the error message says I'm attempting to access an undefined property. I've never tried to access an object that wasn't on the stage, so I know my syntax is wrong for trying to access "Defer" since it's not on the stage. What's the correct syntax for drilling down to an object that may be buried deep somewhere?
Okay I have this problem and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Here is an outline of what is happening:1. I have a movie clip that contains two components, a combo box and a check box.2. The combo box has the instance name "comboBox", and the check box has the instance name "checkBox".3. The movie clip is exported for actionscript with the identifier "test".4. I run the following code:
I have a class that instantiates a movieclip from the library, eg: myBar:MovieClip = level0.AttachMovie("debugbar", "debugbar_mc", 999);
myBar is an instance variable in the class.
Now the important part - debugbar in the library is a movieclip that contains some components - buttons and textInputs. The problem comes when trying to access these components.
I would have thought that this would work: myBar.input_txt.text = "hello";
in order to set the text of "input_txt", the instance name of a TextInput component on the timeline of the movie clip (frame 1 of a 1 frame mc).
This does not work. Infact, I cannot access any specific "component" properties - they come back undefined. I cannot added event handlers for the component events either.
I can however set and retrieve MovieClip properties for the "input_txt", such as _x. However there is one added strange thing with this too - setting _visible to false doesn't seem to work (however perhaps a component by default overrides this).
I tried casting it to a component, such as: var temp:TextInput = TextInput(myBar.input_txt); trace(temp);
which gave "temp" as null. Without casting, it gives the path to correctly.
It almost seems like the components are somehow broken when trying to access them this way - or that they cannot be accessed this way?
The thing is, I was able to access all of this before, when the code to do it was placed on the timeline (frame 1, the only frame) of the debugbar itself, where the components were placed at authortime.
I need to have it in a class though, as I need to pass in certain objects that need to be accessed by the mc. I am rather baffled as to why all this doesn't work.
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.
I am trying to use a preloader for a larger .swf file that loads inside of a movie clip. I was wondering what code might work and where to put it. (preloader is a .swf). I am using CS4, ActionScript 1.0.
I've got loadMovie working and it loads a movie clip that has a stop(); on the first frame.At a certain frame within my main movie, I want to tell the loaded clip to play();My symbol is called "load1" without the quotes of course. It's an empty MC and on frame two my movie gets loaded into it. On frame three after a few seconds I have load1.play(); which I figure should work, but it doesn't!
I have built a movie clip on my main flash file that I am loading separate swfs into. On the separate swfs I have a close button, but do not know what action script to attach to it to make the movie clip go away? I want these to go away every time you hit the close button on the separate Flash swfs loading into the main movie clip.
i am having a problem that has me beating my head against my desk and i cant belive that i dont know the answer.I have a text field within myswf.swf called "score" how do i change the score text field within myswf.swf movie that i load.
