ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Addressing Nested Clips With Dynamic Name?
Aug 9, 2010Let's say I have a movie clip named MC in stage. The following statements work.
var clipName = "MC";
this[clipName].y = 100;
However, if I put a child movie clip (named childMC) inside that MC movie clip, I'm not able to address the child movie clip by the same fashion. I'll get an error.
var clipName = "MC.childMC";
this[clipName].y = 100;
Is there any way to address the child movie clip with dynamic name?
ActionScript 1/2 :: Addressing Movie Clips Inside A Movie Clip That Has Been Loaded Into A ScrollPane
Jul 6, 2009I'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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Addressing Movie Clips Via Array?
Oct 14, 2010My Flash file provides a small number (say, 4) of user-selected �displays. Within each display, there are up to four link movie clips, each of which are (or should be) selectable. The displays have instance names of display0_mc, display1_mc, display2_mc, and display3_mc. I can address each display through an array var display:Array = [ display0_mc, display1_mc, display2_mc, display3_mc ]; as display[ 0 ], display[ 1 ], etc. Now, the four links within each display are named link0_mc through link3_mc. (Each of these is actually a movie clip containing a dynamic text field, link_txt, and a few other elements not relevant here.)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Addressing MovieClip Buttons Within Nested Ones
Sep 10, 2009I have three movieclip "buttons" within a couple of nested movieclips and I am unsure how to address them in actionscript. I have an event listener and a function for the rollover and rollout mouseEvents below
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL _OVER, cursorOverButton);
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_breasts_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.R OLL_OVER, cursorOverButton);
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_face_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL _OVER, cursorOverButton);
function cursorOverButton(e:MouseEvent):void{e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
e.currentTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, cursorOutButton);}
function cursorOutButton(e:MouseEvent):void{e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");}
Within the movieclip buttons are labels over and out included in the buttons. When I rollover and rollout the mouse over the movieclip buttons they don't behave correctly. I am wondering if the e.currentTarget inside the function is the right address of the nested movieclip buttons procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc, etc.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Instances From Movie Clips If The Movie Clip Referencing From Is Nested?
Mar 23, 2010It's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

Sep 13, 2010I'm not sure if this problem's caused by a change made in CS5 or if I'm just doing something wrong (havn't used flash in a while), but I've run into a problem where; I've created a second animated layer (classic tween) inside the timeline of another movie clip. The problem is, when I add a key frame in the timeline of the parent movie clip, it resets the timeline inside it (as in, it goes back to the begining).

Professional :: Nested Movie Clips As Navigation Bar?
Jun 24, 2010I just had my first flash lesson a couple of days ago, but decided to venture myself into trying to build a navigation tool bar with movie clips grouped together. My intention is that once the mouse rolls over one particular movie clip, another movie clip fades in under it (my version of a "drop down" menu). Just so it happens, the movie clip that fades in, is also comprised of particular movie clips with their own behaviors (roll over tween effects).
I can make each individual movie clip behave as it should, but I cannot get them to work once they are pieced together. I'm attaching a link that contains the file I'm talking about (submenu), in the hopes that one of you good Samaritans would take a look at it and tell me where I went wrong.[URL]..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Cant't Accesss Nested Movie Clips?
Jul 30, 2009I have created accordion. I have three buttons(movieclips) on stage and inside each movieclip is a mask that masks submenus. So when you roll over the button , the mask expands revealing submenus - buttons(movie clips). All buttons are aligning to the expanding mask. So far so good. But there is a problem. I can not access submenus - nested movie clips which are revealed by the expanding mask.

Sep 5, 2009I understand that nested rollovers do not work, but let me say first that there is no nested rollover. Although my rollovers are in a nested movie clip, the main movie clip does not have rollovers, so from my understanding of the nested rollover problem, it does not apply to this situation. But, it's not working.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Centering Nested Movie Clips To Stage?
Aug 16, 2007I'm currently working in Flash 8 with Actionscript 2.0.
I've been trying different alternatives and none of them are working. I've even posted here previously and tried a few things but I haven't quite resolved my centering to stage problem. Some of you may have already read pieces of this from another post.
I have a landscape that functions sort of like a 360 vr tour. The main movie clip directly on the stage is labeled, "mainMovie", and within it is another movieclip labeled, "singleStrip".
To simulate the 360 vr tour, there's script inside, "mainMovie" to duplicate "singleStrip". Also, inside the "singleStrip" movie clip, I have different elements appearing through the landscape, in this case, we'll use letters as an example. The letters A - Z are sitting on the landscape throughout the entire "singleStrip" movie clip.
Everything rotates fine with the script that's placed some sensitive area movie clips that are placed on the root level. When you place your mouse pointer to the left edge of the stage, the landscape shifts left, when you move the mouse pointer to the right edge, the landscape shifts right, (or vice versa, I can't remember).
The problem I'm having is for the letters that are in view on the stage, I want the user to be able to "click" on them and then that letter zoom up to the center of the stage, (through the "x" coordinate). I'm having difficulty with this since the letter movieclips, (example, "letterA"), are within the "singleStrip" movie clip, which sits inside the "mainMovie" movie clip, which are both constantly moving and their x position continues to change.
I've been using the tween class in order to animate them with easing and it's usually the "endx" variable that I'm having trouble because I don't know how I can match it up to the center of the stage, whether it's a "endx = stage.width._x /2; " or something else. Here's an example of some of the [code]...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Displaying XML Data In Nested Movie Clips?
Sep 18, 2009I'm attempting to create a movie where 100 different facts are faded in and out sequentially. The text will need to be updated monthly so I figured I'd use the dynamic text feature along with an XML file to streamline the updating process. I've worked through Kirupa's Displaying XML Data in Flash tutorial (which was very well presented) and was able to get it to work while understanding the theory of how it worked. However I can't seem to get it to function when applied to my particular application.
After 4 hours of troubleshooting, I think I've isolated the problem to the actionscript component: I think (and I could be wrong) that something needs to reference the nested movieClip that contains the dynamic text layer. It works fine if everything happens on the first frame of the _root timeline. But any elements that I try to bury within a movie clip fail to display. I'm using the code from the tutorial as follows:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("content.xml");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Nested Movie Clips Just Won't Play?
Jan 20, 2011I have a movie clip, lets call this Container. This contains another 4 movie clips, BubbleRed, BubbleGreen, BubblePurple and BubbleGold. Each of these 4 movie clips have an animated time line.
When a Container is rolled over it is added to an array.
I have a function which does things to the Containers on the array.
However I have been trying to get the movie clips in the container to play.
Basically here is my code
Code:
function Pop(m:Movieclip){
switch(m.currentFrame) {
case 1:

And so on for the four bubbles. However when hovered over this code just breaks.
So I tried instead of BubbleRed, assigning the movie clips inside the container instance names, Red, Green, Purple, Gold.
This didn't result in a crash, however the time line of each instance still wouldn't play!
