I have attached a movieclip with several frames on it. Onclick of a button I change the frame of the movieclip and stops it.
Code:
_mv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(_e:Event){
MovieClip(_scp.content).gotoAndStop(_frm);
});
But the scrollbars are not adjusting according to the height of the content. How can I do that.
what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

I am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?
View 0 RepliesIs it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.
View 5 RepliesIm trying to create an inventory where when you click an object it will automaticly go into your inventory, the inventory is embedded in other movieclips.I have quite a few spaces(movieclips) in the inventory box when it is open but I just need it so when you click an object it attaches to a movieclip in the inventory.I also need it so that if you click a different item it attaches to the next space in the inventory rather than overlapping an item you have clicked before. I would only have only about 15 (or something similar) spaces so if I have clicked 16 items the 16th item cannot go into the inventory.
View 13 RepliesA can't seem to get this creating movieclip thing, or attach movieclip. What I want is when a certain button is pressed, a MC in the library is created on the work area, at the mouse location and will continue to follow the mouse untill it is clicked. Once clicked, it stops dragging, but if clicked again, another MC on the screen will gotoAndStop(2); and so on. I have most of the script idea down. But I can't seem to get the create new MC to work.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use attachMovie to attach a movieclip to another movieclip. Both the movieclips are set up as buttons (ie. they have _up, _over, _down, _hit states). The problem is if I define event handlers for both mcs, only the event handler on the parent clip works.
myBtn is already on the stage:
myBtn.onRollOver = function():Void { this.attachMovie("pageButton","chldBtn",1); this.onPress = function():Void { trace("parent"); //works }; this.chldBtn.onRelease = function():Void { trace("attached Movie"); // doesn't work };};
I've tried 'delete this.onPress' for the parent mc but this makes no difference.
How can I get the attached mc event handler to work?
How can i attach a movieClip into another movieClip that is already on the stage (using the attachMovie method) and randomly place them.

View 0 RepliesI've got a scrollpane (the UI component), inside wich I've got an mc. How could I "talk" to that mc inside the scroller? I ask this because the scrolled mc ha no instance name, but comes straight from the library, so something like this wont work:
scroller.myMc.play()
In the first frame of my main movie I include a AS file. In that as file there is a MC attached from the liberary named 'shoutbox_holder'. In the shoutbox_holder mc I attach 5 movieclips 'window1', 'window2'.. also from the library. This works very well, because I see the mc's in the debug mode.
shoutbox_holder
|_window1
window2
window3
..
I want the 'shoutbox_holder' to attach to a scrollpane, so I did drag a scrollpane to the main stage from the componentspanel, deleted it and drag a instance from the library to the stage, then In the contentpath field I insert 'shoutbox_holder' (pointing to the mc created in the as file). But this will not work 'I already tried different paths' but nothing!

I have an XML file that loads into flash and is dynamically displayed on the stage. What I cannot figure out is how to add a scroller to the movieclip so that when the data from the XML file is larger (overlaps the stage) then the content would be scrollable. I have checked and searched for about 1-2 hours and have came up with nothing.
View 5 RepliesI have a ScrollPane component to stage and I give it as source a new MovieClip instance. How can I access the movieclip inside scrollpane? This is what I have so far but it returns null:

regFormSP.source = regForm;
var form = Object(regFormSP.content).getChildByName("rForm");
trace(form) // returns null

There is an object "instance20" as a parent to rForm...Why is that?
I need to get my main swf A to tell the swf B (swfB is my scrollpane content or source) to gotoAndStop at frame 2 but it doesn't communicate.Here is my code on my main swfA:
Code:
function xbutton (e:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop("p1");MovieClip(sp.content).gotoAndStop(2);}
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, xbutton);
Here is my code on frame 2 in swfB:
Code:
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
to better visualise what i am doing; swfA is my website with lots of pages, swfA has one page* that holds my scrollpane, inside my scrollpane is swfB with a flPlayback (*this page is the tv page). when I exit the tv page to another page on my website the tv must stop. swfB has my flPlayBack on frame 1, frame 2 is blank (no tv).
Ps: The code in swfB works fine independently! I know this because tested it by adding a button (when pressed it goes to frame 2 and the code does stop the tv).
I have setup a flash MovieClip with a scrollpane in it, and another MovieClip that run's a FOR loop to create a list of buttons dynamically. I have the script pull the dynamic MovieClip and load it as a source to the scrollPane but the scrollbars are not appearing. To make sure that the scrollpane was working, I added an event listener to the scrollpane that when I clicked it it will run scrollPane.invalidate() and the scrollbars will pop on.
So here's my problem/question: If I'm dynamically adding a listMC to this scrollPaneMC, how do I get listMC to throw the invalidate() to the parent scrollPaneMC? Here's another way to look at it: Root adds a child scrollPaneMC. ScrollPaneMC uses listMC as a source from the library. listMC run's its FOR loop and dynamically creates a list and appears in the scrollPaneMC, but no scrollbars.

how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work.

For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");

^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I'm using a movieClip inside a ScrollPane to show a list of CheckBoxes. The amount of CheckBoxes shown is dynamic, it depends on a SQL query. After the query is done, I add as many CheckBoxes as rows in the result set. What I am trying to do is to access some methods I wrote in the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane to get the length of the CheckBoxes, check which ones are selected and the label they have (their label is also defined by the SQL query).
I've tried this
valueINeedToGet = Object(root).scrollPaneInstance.source.functionINeedToRun();
But it returns error #1006
How can I access the code inside the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane?
I'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.
I'm in desperate need of some help here. I've been working on a website for months and I'm so near the end, but I just need to rectify one problem (and judging by my google searches for the past two days, it seems to be quite a common problem). I'm pretty much a novice/beginner when it comes to actionscript and need some help to figure this out.I have a movie clip (called 'CLvertlist_mc') which is simply some text and buttons. This movie clip has been placed inside a scrollpane, which sits inside another movie clip ('Client list 2'). Also sitting inside 'Client list 2' is a third movie clip called 'clientlist_mc', which has a few different labelled frames in it.Now, I want to get the buttons in 'CLvertlist_mc' to link to the labelled frames in 'clientlist_mc'. At the moment I've put an actions layer in 'Client list 2' with the following actionscript:[code]'clb_cch' is the instance name of one of the buttons in 'CLvertlist_mc', and 'SM' is one of the frame labels in 'clientlist_mc'. I keep getting a 1120 'access of undefined property' error.
