I've got a MovieClip that has 3 frames with different text content. I made another MovieClip and within its class I defined this code:
//this is the class of a MovieClip with a human face
if (something happens)
{
var dialogueBox = new DialogueBox();
this.parent.addChild(dialogueBox);
this.parent.dialogueBox.gotoAndStop("dialogue_info _01");
[Code]....
This seems like it should be pretty basic, but after hours of searching for an answer I give up! All I want to do is write code on one frame to take action on another. So for a completely random example, let's say I'm writing my code on frame 1. In that code I'd like to add a movie clip at frame 10. How do I target frame 10? Working in AS3.
View 5 RepliesI want to addChild at certain frame say 130. And I used the following format
var btn1:Button = new Button();
gotoAndPlay(1);
addings();
[Code].....
put and even I can't get the trace result. how to add childs at any frame number I want
The buttons are used to jump to a specific (root-)frame (based on a variable); they're all nested inside a moviclip, each on its own layer, and for every frame there's one button more showing (imagine a staircase). Now, is there a way for a script that works for all buttons without adding the specific frame number every time? I started working with
ActionScript Code: on (release) {_root.gotoAndStop(_root.VAR+3);} where VAR also defines, how many buttons are shown (eg. frame number of the button-MC). +3 is just for the frame number on root. That way, of course, all buttons eventually lead to the same frame, or more precise: only the last button shown will lead to the correct frame.
The name of my DocumentClass is Main. So, what's the difference between :
var myClass:Main = new Main();
var mcInLibrary:MovieClip ;

I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies

I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine

View 3 RepliesBasically once my animation loads I want to pull in an external SWF at a specific frame, basically like the "home page" swf that will display first.

I'm trying to get the following movieclip smallbutton to link to frame 5 on movieclip cont.The way the timeline is built is as so:content_mc > cont > (more mcs) > smallbuttonThis seems to be an issue from every answer I've tried so far since the movieclip "cont" is not being called in the main timeline; first there's content_mc and then comes cont.How would I go about getting the movieclip "smallbutton" to link to the 5th frame of movieclip "cont"?This is for AS 2.0So far I'm at:on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("cont"); _root.smallbutton.gotoAndPlay(5);
View 7 Repliesi am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).
View 5 Repliesif its possible, via AS3, to create a frame label in a movieclip on a specific frame.
Obviously I can do it by manually by setting up labels on the timeline within the target movieclip, but I would rather use an array so I can loop through it, creating a label name on a the specific frame each time?
so for example I would end up with:
myLabelOne on frame 10
myLabelTwo on frame 25
myLabelThree on frame 115
etc
i'd like to control MovieClip timeline witch contain several DisplayObject (like Sprite, Button, ...) these DisplayObject have Motion (AnimatorFactory). How can i do seek frame-by-frame the MovieClip Timeline and use the currentFrame to control all Motion child.

I have a need to add an object to the display list at a specified frame number. Something equivalent to addChildAtFrame(mc, 100).
I know I could achieved this by creating a layer within the fla, making a new frame at the desired location, and placing a blank movieclip within the frame in order to have a target displayObject to addChild to but I would prefer to do this via code.
Is there anyway to accomplish this dynamically?
I'm trying to call a child from an xml to perform a function, which is seperate from the functions of all the other children. this is merely a test in learning as3 and i'm using this gallery as an example.
At the moment, I'm trying to call the second thumbnail of the gallery to react differently to the other thumbnails when clicked. So there is the "onClick" mouseevent for all thumbnails, but "onClick2" for just "thumb2".[code]...

View 2 RepliesIn my program, I have multiple children of the same movie clip. Each movie clip has a text field inside it which shows data relating to that movie clip. However, I need some way to update that data at run time to reflect changes that may be taking place. My problem comes to, how am I supposed to target that specific child of this movie clip since there are around 40 of them on the stage at the same time?
View 3 RepliesHowever, either I'm declaring my variables at the wrong bit/way or there is another problem, as I have been able to add the child I want to from the display list (sidepoint: is it right to call the display list everything in the library on stage at runtime plus those things you have exported for actionscript usage??!)...but when I want to remove it at the next cuepoint nothing happens. I feel this is a basic principle that is alluding me here.

vid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cueText);

I am loading a swf into an empty MC with this code:
on(release) {
loadMovie("movie.swf", _root.container);
}
what I want to do is also go to a specific frame or frame label in that loaded movie. I thought I could do it by adding something like this:
_root.containter.gotoAndPlay("frame");
Is there a way to get the frame label on a specific frame, without it being the current frame?
I've tried accessing it through:
this.scenes[0].labels but it doesn't allow me to check a specific point on the timeline.
I am loaded images into a container that is being displayed on a map. I've created a string of my images names and am looping a loader to load each image and add them to the container.
var overlays=["compsmall.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall4.png"]
var overlay_container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
function calloverlays():void
[Code]....
Once all of my images are loaded into the container overaly_container how can I call on a specific child of the container? For example how can I call on compsmall2.png once its been loaded into overlay_container?
I place these images onto a map by placing the whole container at the correct location. I then turn layers on/off by adding and removing the children within the container. This is why I'd like to specify a specific object in the parent.
I am creating a game in which bubbles with simple math equations are falling from the top of the screen, and you have to enter in the answer to make the specific bubble disappear.
