ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Actions On Child MovieClips
Apr 29, 2011
I am having issues trying to get a simple button to make the playhead jump to a certain frame when pressed. I have the main timeline and then have a movieclip which has buttons inside of it and actionscript applied in the movieclips timeline. Is this a no? That is should all actions go on the main timeline? If this is so then does anyone know why I keep getting an error that it can't find the instance named button inside the movieclip?
portfolioButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(100);
}

I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.
All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

This is just a stripped down version of my problem that im using for troubleshooting purposes. I thought id try and make up a basic script to get the core of it working and then apply it to the file that im having this problem with later just to simplify things.So what im trying to do here is that ive got a MovieClip in my library called mc_brian that ive exported for action script with the class of Brian. The mc_brian movie clip has 2 frames, both with stop actions on them.So ive created my variable newBrian and loaded the Brian class into it, positioned it and added it to the stage via the addChild display object.Then im assigning newBrian an instance name and tracing the instance name, which of course returns "brian1":
Code:
var newBrian:Brian = new Brian();
newBrian.y = newBrian.x = 100;

I'm an animator trying to use actionscript along with timeline animation.The setup is flock>fly>wings flock movieclip 30f long, the script looping, starting multiple fly movieclips at different points.
fly movieclip 30f long, controls wings0 movieclip timeline (3 frames, each with a movieclip). Frame1: wings0.gotoAndStop(2) Frame24: wings0.gotoAndStop(1) Frame48: wings0.gotoAndStop(3)
From flock timeline I'm trying to override actions in fly3. to call a different wings0 animation.
flock Frame1: var loop:Number = 0; fly1.gotoAndPlay(15); fly2.gotoAndPlay(8); fly3.gotoAndPlay(20); if(fly3.currentFrame==24){ fly3.wings0.gotoAndStop(3); }
flock Frame 30:
loop = loop + 1;if (loop > 0) {this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else {this.stop();}
But the animation of fly3 doesn't change.

I've ran into a very nasty little problem that has been buggin me for few days.
Basically I have a main (parent) swf which loads the content of the sub pages into a MovieClip called mc_container.
Inside every child SWF I have a code to repostion and resize its contents as I need with stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, relocateandresize);
But the problem is, once this SWF is embedded into the main (parent) swf, this code stops working.

I've done a website with different pages using the Loader component. On one page I have a movieclip that has different images (like a slideshow) that fade between each other. I'm trying to add an action to make the movieclip pause for a few seconds between each fade. So I've added this action between each fade (in a layer, above the graphics layers, that only holds actionscript):
Code:
stop();
function restart(){

My movie is five about minutes long with audio and an offscreen timeline move clip containing action script to control other movie clips or play the root directory. After about a minute or so, movie clips get out-of-synch with the audio, apparently its getting bogged down. My swf file doesn't seem that big, about 2.2MB and my move clips aren't that complex, although up to three levels deep.

I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?

I`ve made a movie that has one button , now when I click on button this code will execute exactly :
Code:
b1.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("textarea-load.swf",555);
};
I need add another code to hide textarea-load.swf from my movie and this action should occur when I press same button once again . Note : I don`t have any movie with "555" instance name but it helps me to run my movie

I got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I can´t attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
That´s the code for the last/fourth button, it pulls the fourth image in place. So that´s in order.I added this below in the same script:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons.

I have a movieClip within another MovieClip. I gave the child movieClip the instance name "hSprite" and I added it to the parent movieClip stage. Now I get an error like the following.
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property hSprite on com.objects.Hero. If I remove the instance name from the child movieclip, then the error goes away. but when I add the instance name back, the error reappears again.
Keep in mind that both classes are set for export. The parent class is embeded by a custom class which work perfectly fine. But the minute I give the child movieClip a instance name, the error starts up again.

I'm trying to build a simple mask with 2 children mcs. The masking is almost working, but the two children only mask where they don't overlap. I've tried using a mask layer and using code, and it's the same effect either way.
Below is the code:
import caurina.transitions.*
sticker.mask = noteMask_mc;
Tweener.addTween(noteMask_mc.mask_1, {y:-540, scaleX:2.5, scaleY:2.5, time:10, transition:"easeIn"});
Tweener.addTween(noteMask_mc.mask_2, {x:255, scaleX:2.5, scaleY:2.5, time:10, transition:"easeIn"});

When you make a simple game that maybe has a few different 'screens' like start, help, and high score, and a few levels, and you don't wish to load from external swf's. What is the best practice for making these games as far as the timeline?To just have ONE frame that add's and removes child movieclips from the stage?

I used a tutorial to attempt to set up my code so that after a button is released and an external .swf is loaded the same button can't be activated again (on release or on rollover) until a different button is released.
Here is an example of my actionscript. What I'm trying to do here is just have the button not replay the mc in the over state if it's movie clip is already loaded in[code]...
