I 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
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]....
The name of my DocumentClass is Main. So, what's the difference between :
var myClass:Main = new Main();
var mcInLibrary:MovieClip ;
/////////////////////////////////////////[code]............
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.
var viewStack:ViewStack = new ViewStack();
viewStack.percentWidth = 100;
viewStack.percentHeight = 100;

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 2 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).

However, 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 have tried this a dozen different ways and I really am at my wits end.
I have a presentation that works like a powerpoint. Everything is working as it should, except one part. I have a movie clip with an instance named slides, and I want to actively display which frame number you are in this move clip.
I have tried more than one why but I see no reason why this should not work:
var frameNum:Number = this.slides.currentFrame;
this.frameText.text = "P�quina " + frameNum + " de 173";
It appears to work at first, but does not update when I navigate the slides. It constantly says 1. Before I just added a function to the back and next buttons to frameNum++ and frameNum--, but after I created the Menu I would prefer it to automatically detect what frame it is on.
I created the following AS for a particular frame
Code:
cnx.addEventListener(CNXConnection.DIGITAL, onDigital_10);
function onDigital_10(e:DigitalEvent)
{
[code]....
While debugging everything works properly if I'm testing that frame.But, pushing a button in another frame, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at "frame number:raw number"
I'm quite sure that the problem is that the variable e.Join changes its corresponding e.Value pushing a particular button in another frame (as must be). Any ideas how to link that information to the frame that create the error?
I am trying to use this if statement with a frame label instead of a frame number. I believe that _currentframe is looking for a number only. Is there a different command that looks at frame labels instead of frame numbers?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to find the frame number of frame label with AS if a button is rolled over, the timeline jumps to a label - which plays a set of 3D rendered frames to 'raise' and element, once a user rolls out of the 'button' area the button is meant to 'lower' - which can be done by simply playing backwards to the previous label.

View 2 RepliesThe package code below is directly out of the Adobe flash help system: It works fine as an external .as file. However, I want to add some buttons from the library. I haven't been able to add another child, no matter where I put the code. I also tried putting the code to add a button in the internal movie frame script, but when I put ANY script there, I get this error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript." The add button script, where Sub1_Btn has been exported for Actionscript and set up as a class in the buttons property window.

I am currently working on a project that has me adding and removing a notepad that is a movieclip. Initially, I put the notepad to the outside of the stage and just moved it in with a button click, but now I want to make it so that it appears and disappears from the stage.
I tried the following code and kept getting a 1010 error. Property undefined for "addNotepad".
I'm exercising scripting and struggling with adding a child to a object when the creation of the child is wrapped in this function
function makeBox():void {var box:Shape = new Shape;box.graphics.beginFill(0x66FF00);box.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x6600CC);box.graphics.drawRect(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);addChild(box);}
Now I want to add the above shape as a child to this object
var Clip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;addChild(Clip);
if the first code was not a finction I have no problem to add the child by Clip.addChild(box); but I cant figure out how to use it if it is as a function.
I'm not talking about removing a child by simply using the removeChild(); method, but a more complicated (I think) way. For example, If a add a 'box' MovieClip with addChild, and I have a 'close' button inside the 'box' MovieClip, I want the 'box' MovieClip to disapear when I press the 'close' button. I tried
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {

I am trying to add a Child to the stage depending on what xml string is loaded based on a button click. I created a function for buttonFeedback but it breaks my code

I have a MC with a sprite in it. I give it a wee tween
Tweener.addTween(mainImageBox, {height:355, time:1, delay:1, transition:"elastic"});
All fine and dandy but when I add a child
mainImageBox.addChild(loaderAnimationMC);
The child (loaderAnimationMC) is all scaled up, is there a way to prevent this?
I am adding a child to the stage in my first swf
Code:
addChild(new donkey());
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest("next.swf"));
addChild(l);
in my next.swf, I have a button which I want to remove the donkey with::
Code:
removeChild(donkey);
OK - doesnt work - it doesnt let me export the swf anyhow because the next.swf has no 'reference' to donkey existing at all. What's going on?

I cant remove the child if i add a child inside a movieclip, is there something that iam doing wrong ?

now I want to reverse it..
when i click the object button

I have a variable called "myNumber"
myNumber = 1382;
As you can see it equals a number, (This number is subject to change throughout the project.How can I add all of the digits in this number up into a new variable.The number is "1382" so the new number would be all the digits added together... 1+3+8+2, "14"
I have an array, strictly numbers, how could I add... say array[0](value=2)+array[1](value=1) to equal 3? What I come up with is an undefined error, or not a number...
View 3 RepliesI am working on an application that has buttons (movieClips) to set the color of user input (graphics, type, etc...). When clicked, the selected button displays a movie clip of a palette of 35 colors.I open the palette with the following function (is that the same as a method?):function openPalette(event:MouseEvent):void event.target.addChild(colorPalette);}I can then click on the colors in the palette to select the color I want.However, since the palette is a child of the button, clicking on a color within the palette triggers the same function as clicking on the parent button again. I get the following error:ArgumentError: Error #2150: An object cannot be added as a child to one of it's children (or children's children, etc.). at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild() at design_AS3_ii_fla::MainTimeline/openPalette()
