ActionScript 3.0 :: Alpha On Children Of Movieclip Instance
Jan 21, 2010
I've created a class which displays a carousel menu , I've then instantiated this carousel class in another class, created a method to hide the carousel and a button to open / close the menu by setting the alpha to 0. Within the carousel object is the controls for rotation. The problem is when I compile and run and then click the button the carousel is made invisible along with the controls but when I press it again, the controls appear again but the carousel doesn't. Really stumped on this one,

If I change some value for a parent sprite, the same value will affect all of its children. So if I set alpha or width on the parent, the child will automaticly get the same value.

how could I make a simple loop which loops through the childrens of specific movie clip and add each of them instance name lets say "iname", since I have movie clip in which childrens are not added by code.
And if I'm sure I could acces those childrens then by code like iname.x = 100?

Is it possible to get dynamically created children of a display object instance in action script 3?
Example
trace(_view.getChildByName("name")) = returns name of display object (success)
trace(_view.getChildByName("name").getChildByName("name2") = returns error 1061

In Flash, if i create a custom Movieclip, and compile it to a SWC, i can use it in .fla files (by linking to the .swc)..
[Code]...
All the arrangement of graphics on the custom movieClip's layers is preserved. If i subclass UIComponent and compile to a swc, I can use the custom Class in my .fla file, but the new instance doesn't seem to construct the children arranged on the layers.
I know that the correct way to make a custom component is to have the two frames, first to specify bounding box, second frame for assets, and that the first graphic in frame 1 is removed at runtime. But i'm not really trying to make a reusable component - i just want to use the UIComponent class (It seems to have some nice extensions to Sprite). As i really want some hand-positioned layers inside the component i figured i could have the bounding box as the first element on frame 1 (knowing that it would be removed), but any other items i put on frame 1 would be preserved - buttons, images, lines, etc.

Is there a way that I can obtain the name of a clip's children just like I can obtain the name of it's parent by using _parent?
Basically, I have a whole bunch of MovieClips that I have created through a function that parses an XML file. Basically, it's a custom-made Tree.
I have them all set up in their proper horizontal and vertical positions, but the one thing I'm having trouble doing is closing a branch on it. I've tried storing values in arrays to help me sort all the MovieClips on the Stage, but I must confess that I'm not good with arrays at all, so is there some sort of obscure function somewhere that can return the child clips, so I can do something like:
Code:
myMC.onRelease = function():Void {
if (myMC.hasChildMovies() == true)
for (var i:Number = 0; i < myMC.childMoviesArray.length; i++){

Pausing, stopping and playing movieClip (MC) children. I am making SWFs that an interface will load and control (pause, re-start, stop, etc.). Then the interface is paused, the main MC will pause but not it's child MCs. I didn't write the interface, I am just supplying SWFs that are loading into the interface. The developer of the interface willn't allow me to use animated MCs in my SWFs since he can't control them with the interface. So all my animation need to be on the main time line, which is no optimal to say the lease.Can I provide him with some code to allow him to stop the child MCs or is there an Event Listener I could include in the child MCs that would pause, stop, restart, etc when the main MC changes?I currently do not have a fix at this time and since all my animations are on the main timeline, is there a way to select multiple objects (on difference layers) and move and resize them across multiple keyframes?

I have a MovieClip that I dynamically add other MCs as children to. Now I'd like to have a function that removes ALL children at once. I tried a loop with (i < mc.numChildren) but somehow it will only remove even-numbered children, the odd ones stay on stage?

I use swapChildren(mc_1,mc_2) to switch depth between 2 movieclips from the root level. Everything work just fine....
but when I create a container_mc and place the two movieclips into it then the 1120: nullobject reference error occurs?? container_mc.swapChildren(mc_1,mc_2);

I've few movieclip from library that will add to stage, inside of the movieclip have some mc that I want to control it, here is my script.
if (selectDiffText.text == "Collection 1 Easy")
{
var c1_easy:cartoonEasy = new cartoonEasy();
[Code]......
let say if c1_medium is added to stage, c1_medium will also randomly added 1 of the movieclip from library on it.
inside of the playGame mc, I've mouseTarget.alpha = 0;...how can I control it from root level? c1_easy also have the mouseTarget.alpha=0 too.

How can I reliably iterate through a MovieClip for every child?
I'm working on a game and a great way to lay out my levels is inside a MovieClip, with each frame being a new level. The problem is that when I move on to frame 2 or 3 and try to iterate through the MovieClip's children, I'm getting a different number (less) than is actually on that frame.
I think it's because the instances from the previous frame are being carried over to the new frame.
A simple solution is to create a new MovieClip for every level instead of a new frame inside each MovieClip, but this isn't the most scalable solution (say I want to remove a level or add a level between other levels, etc).

I am having a container mc with 5 children mcs. children names mc0,mc1....mc4.
cont.getChildByName("mc"+Number(cont.numChildren-1)).x =
cont.getChildByName("mc0").x - 20 *1.2;
after this re-position process.. I want to set the last item position as 0 and so on. How can I do this?My target is to attain a circular movement.like
[mc0][mc1][mc2]
[mc2][mc0][mc1]
[mc1][mc2][mc0]

I have 2 movieclips on stage; one called 'myMarker_mc', the other called 'myMarker_mcOne') - they both contain 4 children (bt_up, bt_dn, bt_remove ) and myText (a textfield) and they only work properly when it is the 'myMarker_mc' that is being called (called from the xml at the top of the file).
Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
[code]...
When myMarker_mcOne is called the dynamic textfield, called 'myText' produces a blank and the output box pops up with...
Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm using Flash CS3, programming in AS2 and I'd like to know if there is a method that allows me to retrieve the names of all the children of a particular MovieClip.I have been creating a custom Tree for an application as I can't find any Tree component out there that can deliver the specs that I need (it's to create a simulation of a particularly complex Tree created as an ActiveX component for a custom application) and I'm using an XML to feed values to this Tree, thus I don't really know beforehand how many MovieClips will be on the stage or their exact names (as they all just increment as necessary).
I'm at the point that I need to be able to hide the nodes in this Tree, and I'm having a devilish time trying to manage it through arrays,so I figure that if there's a way that can I can retrieve the name of MovieClip's parent with the _parent property, there has to be a way to retrieve its children as well right? Right? I just can't find that method or property anywhere though. Much like the XML parser lets you find out if a node has any children.Or maybe someone is familiar with where there's a custom class that I can DL for this purpose? Or am I doomed to try to unscramble a mess of arrays?

I'm working on my second flash game and have been stopped in my tracks trying to cache MovieClip Animations into arrays of BitmapData frames. To capture the frames I have set up a loop which runs through the frames in the MovieClip and use copyPixels to get a snapshot of the graphic.This works fine if the MovieClip to cache does not contain any child MovieClips, but if it does, these MovieClips are frozen on their first frames. I've been looking at MovieClip.getChildAt(index) in attempt to navigate their time lines but because that returns a DisplayObject it seems impossible.
So, my question is: Is it possible it to use copyPixes on a MovieClip and also step through child time lines, or should I be using sprite sheets?
