how to add an onEnterFrame event to a newly created movie clip.
This is what I'd do in as2:
Code:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
//Code here

Im using caurnia transitions, and I am adding an onComplete handler to fire up a onEnterFrame Event.
I just cant seem to pass the object through to the ENTER FRAME function so I can do something with it ..
Code:
Tweener.addTween(myObj, {x:10, time:1,onComplete:function() {this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, timer);} });}
function timer(e:Event):void
{
e.x += 1;
}
On the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();
movieclipone.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);function onEnter(e:Event):void [code]........
When I debug the movie, I get this error at frame 85:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
how can i delete all the onEnterFrame event in my movie/swf?
View 4 RepliesThere is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
When you click on a button and the animation is supposed to play foward or reverse based on which year the user is currently on and which they are selecting. Going forward is no problem However I don't know how to link the button event to the onEnterFrame() event so that when I use the prevFrame(), it will play in reverse at the same frame frequency as going foward. This is the code I have now.It goes back to the frame that it's supposed to, but the animation is not at the same speed as going forward. I goes back as fast as the code can loop.
function frm94to93 (event:Event):void{ while (currentLabel != "Frame1993"){ trace(currentFrame); prevFrame(); }
onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

I'm amended a AS2 movie, which is a rotating banner add movie. In this movie there is a button which is always visible throughout the movie. I need to add a onRelease behaviour onto this button, so that it can call a JavaScript function when clicked.
I'm new to Flash, I have done some Flex work, but no Flash. How can I add the onRelease behaviour to the button and have it available through out the movie. I know how to convert the button to a movie clip and add the onRelease behaviour but it only lasts one frame, how do I make available through out?
Okay i want to make it that when a ball hits a wall, it will dissapear, and in its place a new movie clip appears, i got the hitTest down and the visiblity, but i dont know how to attach teh movie to its location.

I have a function shuffling a array of numbers.How can I have each number correspond to a movieclip?Like if I have the number 4 comup first in my array, how can I have movieClip4 show up onto the screen?
View 1 RepliesI have two clips on the stage with mouseover and mouseout actions. When you roll over a clip, a new clip is created and added to the stage. I then use the drawing methods to draw a callout.It works fine the first time, but when you roll over the second clip, the drawing for the previous object is not erased and it adds to the drawing with the information from the second rollover.
Code:
node1.buttonMode = true;
node2.buttonMode = true;

I've added a movie clip i've created to the stage and it works fine... the movie clip has 4 frame labels inside it with different content on each label. The main timeline has 4 buttons and I want to be able to click one of these buttons, it will load the movie clip (which it currently does) but goto a specific frame label within the movie clip. The below is a sample of the code from one of the buttons.

I am transitioning into AS3 and I'm working a block that I can't quite figure out. I need to add a child (external image) to a movie clip and resize it. This is what I have thus far and it loads the image just fine:
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(myOBJ.image));
productImage_mc.addChild(imageLoader);

I am trying to add x amount of movieclips to the stage with their own unique _x value. Also with each movie clip added i need to add an array with a smiler name. I tried this code.
Actionscript Code:
enemycount = 46;for (i=1; i<enemycount+1; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[0]; this.attachMovie("BrownFox", ["enemy"+i], 101, {_x:100, _y:219});}for (i=enemycount; i<51; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[1];}trace (this.enemy1._x);trace (this.currentenemy45);
under the attachmovie I have ["enemy"+1] but when i trace enemy1 it returns undefined. But when I put ["enemy"+1] it returns the _x value. also if I put _x: i * 5, I only see one movie clip so I have a feeling they all have the same _x and_y value. basically I wanna be able to add 2 enemys to the stage with out over lapping, and the option to add 50 with out too much over lapping (would like to avoid overlapping by also giving various y depths, between 200 and 250)
Im stuck with adding roleovers to my movie clip buttons. At the moemnt my button code is set so that once clicked it stays on a framewhich is another colour, it then stays that colour until another button is clicked. This works fine, but now I need to ad a rolover to each button that is the same colour as the button once clicked - my code goes like this
var buttons_array:Array=new Array(home_btn,showcase_btn,aboutus_btn,approach_btn,contact_btn);
for(var i:int=0;i<buttons_array.length;i++){ buttons_array[i].mouseChildren=false; buttons_array[i].buttonMode=true;

I am trying to add around 20,000 instances of a single small movie clip (HexTile) from the library into a container Sprite using actionscript. The problem is it loads immediately and it loads very slowly, so I would like to know if there is a way to preload it? The class that adds the movie clip library symbol (World) is not the document class, nor is it referenced from the document class. I have tried dragging an empty sprite linked to World, and I have tried exporting it to other frames as well is preloading it as it's own .swf...

i'm trying to add a rollover sound to a movie clip. i've read a bunch of tutorials but I can't seem to get it working here is the code for the first frame of my movieclip:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){[code]....
i want to have a copy of it and add new features to it. rather than re coding the whole thing again but when i duplicate the movie clip and make the changers the original is effected as well.

I am attempting to add a movie clip to the stage when a button is triggered. When the user clicks the button the movie clip is added to the stage; it works fine, but the following problems occur:
1) The appearance of the movie clip is delayed.
2) The sound in the movie clip starts to play but the movie clip appears when the sound is finished.
Additional information: 1) The movie clip has the sound in the timeline.Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
//Buttons: Adds movie clip to stage.readtomeShortA1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playShortAReadMe1);var playShortA1:ShortAReadMe1function..[code].....
2) However, I also want to know is keeping the sound in the timeline of the movieclip the most efficient way to use sound in the movieclip? Or is there better, more efficient way to do it?
The portal in my game is suppose to be unlocked after you collect all the coins. The portal is locked but when I go over a coin it neither adds to the variable or removes the movie clip by instance name of coin1 coin2 and coin 3.also if the remove movie clip doesnt need _root I've already tried it without it I know that is not the problem.

I am currently trying to make a photo gallery using flash. I have made a scrolling menu and want to incorperate it into the photo gallery, but, my photo gallery uses the onRelease function. My scrolling menu requires the movie clips to be inside another movie clip called panel. Is there a way to add the onRelease function to a movie clip INSIDE another movie clip? Here is the code for the scrolling menu:

My application creates instances of a movie clip (located in the library) based on XML data. Now I want to add individual button functionality to these instances, and I'm stumped.
I'm basically creating instances of clickable doors, the data of which are fetched from an external XML file. The number of doors (doorCount) is calculated directly from the number of "door" nodes in the XML, so it needs to be fully dynamic. Essentially, I want to have a single function that each instance can use by passing in their individual XML data. Clicking a door would first open the door (or something similar), and clicking it again would lead to a link, listed in each instance node.
Here's the loop, where the instances are created:
[Code].....
I don't really know where to begin. Am I able to declare an eventListener inside the loop? How do I pass the "number" of the door to the function called by the eventListener? Or should I somehow pass the door-specific link (and any other node data) to the function directly from the loop?
I'm using Flash Pro CS4, and ActionScript 2, and I'm trying to create objects dynamically, through code, rather than through the designer in Flash.

I added a button symbol to a movie clip in a Flash 8 project, and the button works. OnPress it redirects to a web site.However, the animation in the movie clip becomes diabled. I get the same effect regardless of where the button is placed, e.g. scene1 timeline, movie clip, etc.
View 8 RepliesI created the code below which works as it should using the main timeline actions in AS3 - now, for my project I need this to work in AS3 using class files (basically I'm creating an app which uses pages as class files. This is intended to go on the 2nd page.for some reason though when I've copied it into my project and instantiated it when the page loads, even though all traces say that the squares should be there - they are not! The best I've had so far is one square in the final position![code]
