I have created an accordion object and within the timeline of the accordion, I have a data element that I want to pass to a dynamic text field on the stage, but can't seem to do it.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to set up a script which would force an object to move through the stage until a particular point and than change direction. I wrote something like that:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
moveUp = function () {
this._y -= 1;
if (this._y<-30) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveDown;
}};
moveDown = function () {
this._y += 1;
if (this._y>600) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}};
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}
But it doesn't work. the object moves only one direction and does not change it.

I don't want to get deeper into this monster of a project without making sure this is working first. Is my boolean working and just my trace statements aren't worded right or is my method to change the boolean wrong?
I have 3 movieclips on a stage, all being instances of a square (mc_square01, mc_square02, mc_square03).What I want to do is on every reload to have a random movieclip to be the 'correct answer' - and this is the bit I'm struggling with.The way i'm testing this out is just to change the alpha of a movieclip on the stage.Here's my code....
var myArray:Array = [mc_square01, mc_square02, mc_square03];
mc_square01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER , chooseMe);

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a function for centering movieclips to other movieclips, or centering the movieclips to the stage. My problem is movieclips use _width & _height and the stage uses width & height without the underscore.I'm passing the 2 objects as parameters to the function "center" (reference for centering, and the object I want to center), but I don't know how to make the function know if I'm passing a movieclip or the stage

Can change the x position dynamically of the font.text(text box)[code]...
View 8 RepliesLet me explain the setup:There is a dynamic text box called, for example, myText stored inside a movieclip that is called myMovieclip. Now, I simply want to change the text of the dynamic text box within the movieclip. Yes I know:PHP Code:
_root.myMovieclip.myText.text = "Hello!";
The problem that I have however, is that the instance name myText is stored in a variable, lets call it myVariable. So in very simple layout, it looks like this:
PHP Code:
myVariable = "myText";
_root.myMovieclip.myVariable.text = "Hello!";
Basically what im doing is making a whole bunch of movieclips using a loop and loading an image into them..The movieclip is a success, but no object is there or seen on stage...

I have movie clip(1) on the stage, all I want to do is using another movie clip(2) as a button that when you click zooms the movie clip(1) bigger, then clicking movie clip(2) again takes it back to the original place.
_root.zoom.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_zoom) {
_root.zoom.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.zoom.prevFrame();
}};
I tried _parent and it will not let me save the file as flash 8 anymore.
is it possible to set the text size for ALL the textfields in the movie with one script? Even if they have no instance names, even if they are created dynamically,...
Maybe some prototype which activates after the textfield is "created"?
I Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work

I made a textfield, and applied a textformat to it, but whenever i try to change its text to something else outside of "addChild(myText)" it just removes the text completely.
View 5 RepliesHaving trouble with this one, let's say I have a 800x600 stage with a movieclip on stage. Now inside this mc I have a red dot thrown randomly somewhere inside. How can I make my mc move so that it centers that red dot to the center of the stage? I need the animation to be dynamic but I can't figure out the formula to do it
View 4 RepliesI'm just creating a movieclip from a text field object on the stage, giving it an instance name and setting some timeline animated over and out states for it. I'm then setting it up in AS3 to work like a button, so nothing complicated at all. But I am getting errors I have never seen before. Code is very simple basically I have a button called 'hair' contained within the mc 'menu', here it is:
Code:
menu.hair.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER , itemOver);
function itemOver(e:Event):void {
trace(e.target);
e.target.gotoAndPlay('over');
}
So I noticed there are some new text options in CS5, but none of them give the result I want. If I leave this as the (now default) TLF text, it gives a couple of errors related to this no longer being a movieclip;
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.text.engine.TextLine and there is no default value.
at CL022_fla::MainTimeline/itemOver()
[object SimpleButton]
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.
at CL022_fla::MainTimeline/itemOver()
[object TextLine]
If I change it to classic, there are no errors, but the gotoAndPlay does not work. If I change the text to outlines, it works as per normal.
ActionScript Code:
myTextField_txt.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("monotype", 16, 0x0CFF00, true);
This controls the output to the stage of my fetched text. It works great, but I would VERY much like to control this externally as well. The color for example. How would I call this in a flash variable to change the color externally? Is it possible with this code?
I am creating a movieclip in which when my character reaches the half of the stage another movieclip will play.

I have a MovieClip object, which is exported for actionscript (AS3) in an .swc file.When I place an instance of the clip on the stage without any modifications, it appears in the upper left corner, about half off stage (i.e. only the lower right quadrant of the object is visible). I understand that this is because the clip has a registration point which is not the upper left corner.If you call getBounds() on the movieclip you can get the bounds of the clip (presumably from the "point" that it's aligned on) which looks something like (left: -303, top: -100, right: 303, bottom: 100), you can subtract the left and top values from the clip x and y:[code]matrix has a tx value of 748 (half of stage height) ty value of 426 (Half of stage height)concatenatedMatrix has a tx value of 1699.5 and ty value of 967.75That's also obviously where the movieclip is getting positioned, but why? Where is this additional translation coming from?
View 1 RepliesIn the code below, I have created an instance of the DrawLineChart class called LineChart1.When I test the movie, it shows up on the stage just fine and when I click on it, I can use a trace command to get a string statement written to the output window. However, now I want to be able to click on LineChart1 on the stage and have it be removed. When I do that, I get an error message 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.
why I'm unable to refer to my instance LineChart1 and what I need to do so that I can refer to it and remove it when it gets clicked? why the trace statement works when I click on LineChart1 during runtime, but not the removechild command.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code]....
trace("hello"); // This works. When I click on the LineChart1 MovieClip on the stage during runtime, I get "hello" as an output. removeChild(LineChart1); // throws an error 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.

I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?

what i have to put to change the color on 0xAAAAAA? and... can i put all in a function? and... can i put a text on that mc, with the change of color of text too on roll over?
I'm trying to change the text size in a dynamic text area within a (movie clip) button. For a couple of buttons I'd like to make certain text smaller, for example, to make the "vs" smaller in "A VS B". My buttons have dynamic text in them and the font is embedded and set at size 10 initially. The code I've got in my movie is as follows:
Code:
// define new text formatting
var minimenutext_txt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
minimenutext_txt.size = 8;
avsb_txt = "A VS B";
avsb_txt.setTextFormat(3,4,minimenutext_txt);
// assign formatting to button dynamic text
btn1.btext.buttext.text = avsb_txt;
The text "A VS B" shows up in my button, but I can't seem to do anything to change the format. I've tried making it bold, italic, that kind of thing too - but no luck. Does the setTextFormat command only work with input dynamic text boxes? Is it being overruled somehow?
