ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access MovieClips And Functions In Loaded SWF
Sep 28, 2011
I'm trying to simply access anything inside this loaded SWF and all I get is 'null'.
I have code in the parent SWF that needs to tell the child SWF movieclip what to do but nothing works. This was a piee of cake in AS2 and I can't seem to get anything to crossover in AS3.
Here's my code:
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]......
panel2 traces null and all the clips loaded within pull up undefined property errors.

I've not touched AS2 since AS3 appeared, but circumstances brought me back to using AS2,Is there way to invoke the functions/methods in a loaded movieclip? I know you can do that in AS3 by invoking the Loader object's content's function, but I haven't been able to do that successfully in AS2. I'm currently using the AS2 MovieClipLoader object, like so (snippet):[code]as set up, I intended the target movieclip's function 'invokeInternal Function' to run, but it doesn't seem to be doing it although the SWF itself loads successfully.

From my external app I can see the functions and variables with a for-in loop of the loaded swf, but it can't access the functions. I've also tried accessing the variables and functions in the external app also to no avail.

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].............

I'm trying to make a td game for fun and I need to make function to build towers and if I want to build the second tower it changes the first one... But I thought if i could change the name of the first tower's name when it builds to other var and it should be fine, but the problem is that those 2 towers will shoot together or something, so is there a way to bind functions to movieclips that are created with actionscript (addChild(Name))?

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

I have the following code, which should display some square clickable clips over a map. This is done by calling a function (shown below) with arguments. However, when I call this function, only the last box is shown... The clips are drawn on the same level (9000) but that should not be a problem as they wont overlay...functions calls....
ActionScript Code:
clipsideD=150;
city="Rome"
cityText=romeText

I am currently having a mc in my library use a class. The mc is duplicated and put on the stage. Inside the class the mc gets a rollover state. Problem is that, although the rollover listener and function 'works', any action that is given is applied to all objects linked to that class.
Code:
Select allpublic class cities extends MovieClip {
private var theStage:*;
public function cities(cityid:int, cityname:String, mymc, ref:*) {
theStage=ref;
this.alpha=.85;
this.buttonMode=true;
[Code] .....
So pretty much on rollover on one of the mc's makes them all alpha = 1 and rollout makes them all alpha = .85 instead of the one being rolled over. It does make sense I guess because they are all calling that same function I think. I also tried referring to the specific mc (mymc) instead of the parent and this.

Is there an easy way to animate multiple movieclips without using a lot of functions and setInterval??I want an animation to start and before it's finished another one starts, right now I'm using a ton of functions and setInterval but I'm sure there's a cleaner more efficient way to achieve this.

I somehow am able to write bits of code but am still learning how to restructure code so that it is more efficient.I have 15 buttons. Each one, when rolled over, should change the color of 2 movieclips underneath it (and when rolled out, should change back). I have the below code so far but I don't think I have to re-write the functions each time. How do I "re-use" the function code (or, only write the function code once), but specify what movieclips the function should be applied to? These are just 2 of the buttons of the 15:
Code:
menu_mc.invis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, changeColor);
menu_mc.invis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, changeBack);
function changeColor(event:MouseEvent):void[code].................

I'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons
for (j=1; j<holderArray.length; j++) {

My setup has several movieclips in different layers. My problem is that .onRollOver, onRollOut and .onRelease functions are still active for movieclips lying underneath. Is it possible to inactivate these functions and then activate them again when it is needed? Or how do I solve this?
