ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Buttons (MovieClips) Onto Stage Via Linkage
Jul 7, 2011
It works perfectly in Flash Player 9 but not in FP10. I am calling 5 buttons onto the stage via linkage. These buttons are a movieClip with two frames inside - with different grafics on each frame. I want to use an array to make button 2 and 4 show the second frame in the movieClip. How can I do this! I guess I have to use FP10 since this is a small part of an AIR application. Create a movieClip with to frames, linkagename: radioButton, and why it doesn't work in FP10...
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var myArray:Array = new Array;
var box:Sprite = new Sprite;
var count:int = 5;
myArray = ["button1", "button3"];
stage.addChild(box);
[Code] .....

I've just downloaded Flash 9 Public Alpha and I'm trying some new stuff. I would like to change the scale of a MovieClip instance that I've physically created and dragged onto Stage but the compiler doesn't recognize the mc instance...Do I need to do something beyond just referencing the clip? : myMovieClip._yscale = 10;
I have a haunting feeling that AS3 will be too intimidating for me to even begin to try learning, I can't really grasp AS2 yet...

I got the design of movieclips and others placed on the stage.And I got 1 frame for the code below.Some movieclips will be visible and not visible sometime while loading external swf files.I thinks its on the movieclips to be dynamically put on the stage.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am sure that this code can be optimized so I don't have to type 8 instances (only 2 shown) of the (almost) same code.
kabinet.onRollOver = function() {
this.fleka._alpha = 70;
this.izlaz=false;
} kabinet.onRollOut = function() {
this.izlaz=true;
[Code] .....
What I am aiming for is to have a way to pass "kabinet", or "operativni" etc. to a function or smth... The code is used to control mc buttons on the stage. It works, but it's ugly and not practical, obviously. I tried with
[var]onRollOver = function() {
Inside a function, var being the parameter of said function ("kabinet", "operativni" etc.), but to no avail. Also tried with the with(var), thingy, but with the same result.

I am using the following code to goto a frame when two movie clips come into contact. I will post the .fla in a second. But, I have a trashcan (object), and a skateboard (container), which i want to decrease the score and show the frames in the framename sketchy.
My problem is that I have a container, which gets different movieclips loaded into it by linkage. I want to use the container as the skateboard, alowing whatever is currently in the container to be what is coming into contact with the trashcan.

I have a flash movie with a lot of linked movieclips in my library (mc's with linkage names). I have a preloader in the beginning of the flash movie. However, the preloader doesn't show until (I guess) all those linked movieclips are downloaded first. Then the preloader starts showing, starting at something like 40% . How can I include the linked movieclips in my preloading, such that the preloader shows straight away, from 0% ?

I'm creating an isometric game in AS3, Flash CS4.I created a file named Units.as which contains the following:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
The postoffice and cornershop movieclips have been set to the corresponding class names above.The file is in the same folder as the .fla and can be seen in the project window.When I compile, it doesn't include the Units.as file. Even if it just contains:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
if i create a class from the project window and select the movieclip in the library, it does include that file.So I'm assuming the compiler only includes .as files with filenames corresponding to class names.

I'm creating an interactive time line, which for our purposes now will consist of flags and poles. The flags will just contain information like "December 2004" for example. The flag MC has a linkage name of ABFlag, and for each instance of it dragged onto the stage, the pole is dynamically drawn.The problem that I'm having is that I would like to be able to target all instances of the flag that are on the stage from an external class (not the document class), and I don't want to add instance names to all the flags. Is there any way that I can target movieclips that are on the stage using their linkage name instead of naking instance names? I do not have the option of placing these flags on the stage dynamically.

Flex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

I'm trying to create a linkage to swap movie clip dynamically. I already create a linkage and after my movie clip symbol actuall say Export: contact_idea. But when I try to attachMovie("contact_idea"). It does nothing. Is there anyway that I can test that the linkage is actuall linked?

Assume I know practically nothing about AS3! I'm using Flash Pro CS5. I'm trying to reassociate a flash file I've been given with its external assets and classes. In the library I have a movieclip with linkage to a class called 'StaticMap' using the base class 'flash.display.MovieClip'. am I missing a custom class file called 'StaticMap.as' that was originally located in the same folder as the fla, or is this a generic class accessible to all movieClips from within Flash?

In as3 What is the difference between calling stage.width and stage.stageWidth I read somewhere that if we have nothing on stage then the value of stage.width is 0,but what happen when I have nothing on stage but loading contents dynamically on stage?I have tried this and when i have loaded content dynamically on stage then i have got
stage.width=value; // where value is dynamic number

I would like to know if there is a reason that, within an AS3 class, I would want to do something like this:
var myStageInstance:Stage;
//within an arbitrary class
var myStageInstance:Stage = stage;
myStageInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent, someFunction);
as opposed to something that I would normally do:
//within an arbitrary class
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent, someFunction);
There is no particular problem that I am looking to solve right now. I would just like to know if there is a reason to use one method over the other.

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

I am creating an interactive map which is attached, what I want when you hover over any movieclip the alpha decreases and when you mouse off it goes back to 100% aplha. I can certainly do this, but I only know how to do it by referencing each movieclip first! For example:

I've a problem with calling the movieclip from the library with the if else case.If I take out the if else condition, the code runs normally but when I do I can't. I tried numerous attempts to fix the code but it still failed.What I wanted to do is, when I click one button out of 3 buttons at the 1st frame, it will pass the string (either red, blue or orange) to answer textbox. Then I store the string into a var called tarotno to go through a if else condition to call the MovieClip according to the string passed.[code]

I have a series of movieclips stored in the .fla library
Clip1 (class: clip1)
Clip2 (class: clip2)
Clip3 (class: clip3)
Clip4 (class: clip4)
Clip5 (class: clip5)
I want to be able to add each clip to the stage using a function where the number is a variable that can be added to the "Add movieclip" statement.
For example:
var x:Number = 1;
var "Clip" + x:"clip"+x = new "clip" + x();
so that the program inteprets the above as:
var Clip1:clip1 = new clip1();
addChild(Clip1);
This was the only way I could think of adding a movieclip to a stage. I am open to any other option. I hope this was clear. I don't have any code to post because I'm just trying to work through the logic of the program. Adding movieclips to the stage when the name of the movieclip has a variable in it, is the part I am stuck on.

I must be missing something. I'm trying to set up a Shared Library. I created one Symbol, set the Linkage to "Export for runtime sharing" and put it on the stage. Publish, looks great.
Whenever I create a second (or third or fourth) Symbol and set it to "Export for runtime sharing" it won't appear on the stage, and further creates havoc with the first Symbol already on the stage, changing it's appearance when published.
AND, when placed into a .fla that's accessing the Shared Library, the second or third symbol when placed on the stage also won't appear when I publish that file
The URL for all Symbols is the same, library.swf, and it's in the same directory as the

1) I created a movieclip (book_mc) on the stage. Inside the book is another movieclip (bookPages_mc). Inside of bookPages_mc is a third movieclip (subNav_mc).
2) On the root layer I created another movieclip (button).
3) On "button" I went to Linkage and gave it a base class of my own creation, "MainNav".
Now in the MainNav class I want to tell the subnavigation movieclip to animate.
The problem is - I can't figure out how to reference nested movie clips from an external class.
(For the record - everything has an instance name and has been double checked. The code works from within the FLA but not from an external class.)
Here is my class code (everything works except for the reference to the nested movieclip):
Code:
package {
//imports
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;

I'm Currently creating an interactive video game. There are 66 movies. I'm new to AS3 and have a little experience with AS2. I will try to explain the game! You choose from 5 ingredients, each has this product provides a number of calories:
Rice R = <- standard value!
Mais =-C
Roots =-W
Tofu =-T
Onions =-U
Champions =-M
Each ingredient can be added only 1 once.
Good combinations:
R-U-T-CR-U-C-TR-T-U-CR-T-U-CR-C-U-TR-C-T-U
Each movie is in a movie clip. And the frame where the movieclip is on, is labeled with the combination. For this I wrote the following script:
ActionScript 3 Code:
stop ();
var caloriesVar: Number = 10, / / default Rice
var inpanVar: String = "R", / / R = Rice
iLabel.info_txt.text = (caloriesVar);
iLabel.info_txt2.text = (inpanVar) / / idem
[Code] .....
But this does not work. When you click a button, the script doesn't do anything. Do not know where it goes wrong because he does not update the text fields.

I have been using Flash since it was Flash 3 and AS2 for about 3 years now. I have never ever ever been a fan of buttons. I find them limiting and icky. I just moved to AS3 and OOP this week (it's about freakin time, I know). I am just wondering who here likes to use buttons and why? Is there a point to them? I mean, apparently with AS3, you just have to add "mc.buttonMode = true" and you are well on your way to having all the functionality you need without all the hassle or up states and all that.I am open to adopting new techniques and strategies if they are worthwhile so I am just curious as to what the community thinks. What are the pros and cons to using MovieClips as buttons instead of using an actual SimpleButton.

I was wondering if it was possible to call a pointer to the stage to replace the original pointer. I know the action script to replace the original pointer and to hide it but I need to know if it can be called so that I dont have to put one of the pointer on every frame I want the pointer to be replaced.

I'm learning AS3. I would like to call an Array which contains five mc. Although when I check for errors on the script it says that it doesn't have errors, when I test the movie I have a
couple of errors.

Here is my script.
var listLoader:Array = new Array(back_1, back_2, back_3,back_4, back_5);
bt_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
function (evt:MouseEvent): void {
function placeRamdomPicture (): void {
