I have a movie clip that is executing some code. When this code is complete, I want it to change a variable that is defined on the stage (root?). I know how to get the condition part of it, but quite literally: what do I put to change a variable located on the stage from within a movie clip?
View 1 RepliesI've got a looping slideshow. I'd like to place a sliding menu at the bottom of the screen. The problem is I've created the slideshow dynamically, and the images being loaded all inherit a depth greater than 0.
how I can place the sliding menu at the very top of the presentation when it's already on the stage?
how to add a movie clip to the stage from the library but i'm strugling to do it when the I need to load a movie clip from the library when the name of the movie clip is held in a variable.
for(var i:Number = 0; i < 64; i++)
{
var blueIconS:blueIcon = new blueIcon();
addChild(blueIconS);
[Code]....
The above code works for adding the blueIcon but I have a variable in that loop which tells which icon to load.
sectorsMCs[jewelsIDs[i]]
The above will tell me what MC name to load but how do I load a MC from library by that variable value?
I have a big bit of action script that I want to reuse on various frames. Rather than write it out on each frame I want to embed the script within a movie clip and embed that movie clip on each frame that it is required to be used on.
In order to do that I need to pass a different value into the movie clip.
Basically the script creates 20 pages on one frame, 40 pages on another frame and 60 on the last page.
This is the bit of code that needs to have the number fed to it:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = newArray(20);
The number 20 is currently set manually. I ideally want to write this within the movie clip:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = newArray(frameVal);
and on the stage I want to set the variable like this:
Frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 20;
Frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 40;
Frame 3:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 60;
The movie clip that contains my code has an instance name of "testStart"
how do I get it to pass the frameVal into the movie clip?
how do you change a variable that is written inside a movie clip by using actionscript code from a DIFFERENT movie clip?
View 2 RepliesI declare a Boolean variable in my main class (Main.as file)[code]What I want is to change myboolean variable from inside a movie clip I've got on stage (when it reaches a certain frame).[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to change a varialbe in a seperate class from inside a movieclip that I have on the stage in the timeline, but the variable I'm trying to change keeps coming up as null instead of what I am trying to change it to. How is this usually done?
View 6 RepliesI'm new to actionscript 3 but I do have a little actionscript 2, but, what I want to do is change the colour of a movie clip or the stage using local time. From what I could gather you can't change the stage colour but you can change the colour of a movie clip.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :
Code: Select alltrace(MovieClip(root)[screenMode]);
But this doesn't work too.
I want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
View 5 RepliesIn my project are pages of text with each word having a button that when pressed will display a movieclip presentation about that word (its pronounciation and spelling etc..). In the project I am working on now I have over 450 unique presentations of words to deal with. I don't want to have all of these hundreds of movie clips on the stage and tell them one at a time to stop and rewind and then have one play each time a word button is pressed. That seems to be very inefficient to me.
add movieclips to the stage using addChild(movieclipname) and remove them using removeChild(movieclipname) but there is a problem. I have hundreds of unique movieclips and I don't want to have to manage hundreds of variables containing the indivudual movieclip instancess. It is a real pain having to figure out what instance is still on the stage before i delete it.In Adobe Director all I have to do is this:
i wanna change color of mc. I have buttom Test and Parametri. In Test is movie testing.swf in Parametri you can change color of movie clips. in file starttesting is make like this:

Code:
mcButtonParametri.onRelease = function():Void{
addWindow("mcPar");
}

How can I change color of mcOksid(testing.fla), but color will be change when i push a upload buttom? WHen i push reset buttom, the color will come back to default.
Second problem, in testing.fla in layer OKSID, i have mcOksid and mcOksid2. Know if i change color of mcOksid to blue, mcOksid2 has to be blue too.
I have some (Eg. 10) Movie Clips on bottom of the Stage (aligned horizontally) with different sizes (different width & height). I want them to align vertically on middle of the stage with same gap (irrespective of their sizes) in between 2 Movie Clips. Is it possible using AS3 code?

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to reach a body of text which i turned into a movie clip which is on the main stage, and have it scroll up/down whenever it rolls over the designated hot spots. Here's what i have.

I have a looping movie clip and want it to speed up when the mouse rolls over one of the ends. Is there and action script that will do this? Or a different way to get it done? I faked it by making two movies with different number of frames but when you load that movie it starts over and it looks stupid. I have the scrolling animation on the site but want to put that effect on it. Click the first box after the intro to see the animation at the bottom(line of trucks) http:[url].....

View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip to display a clock and a datagrid for showing my schedule. I want my flash to alarm with sound when the time from the clock match one time on the schedule. Here is my actionscript:
Code:
clock_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.timer[i]==_root.clock_mc.clock_txt.text.substr(0,5)) {
alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);
[Code]....
As you can see, I use onEnterFrame to listen and check matching between time on clock and schedule but it will check all the time and when it alarmed it produced sound all the time while the time is matched. I would like my flash to alarm only one or few times.
On frame 1 of the main timeline I have a movieclip. The 1st frame of the movieclip stops, and requests a password. When the password is correct, the movie clip plays and stops again on frame 2 - where the user enters their name. I've named this variable 'name_txt', and the submit button will only continue if the variable is defined.
The problem comes when I try to get a dynamic text box in the main timeline to show the user's name - it just stays blank even through i've experimented setting the var / instance names to 'name_txt'. I think I have to set the variable to global or something, but cant seem to get it to work.
I am trying to duplicate a move clip and then set some of it's properties with actionscript. What's the notation to do this?
Here is my guess:
Code:
duplicateMovieClip(_root.event, ("event"+i), i);
[event+i]._y = ([event-i]._y)+([event+i].height);
[_root.event+i].eDate = ("4/2"+i);

I want to have my character walk around in a faux 3-d space using the arrow keys on the keyboard. When the character walks away it becomes smaller and when it walks closer it becomes larger. I have put together a script that pretty much does what I want - except the ratio of the height and width of the MovieClip do not stay the same. It becomes fatter as it walks away and skinner as it comes closer. Here is my main script:
[Code]...
I think the problem is with the operator here: ratio = this._height/this._width; The slash between "height" and "this" seems to be what is giving me trouble. Maybe I should be writing some other script entirely? I am not very good at script writing.
i'm trying to replace text in a dynamic text field within a movie clip, and it seems as if it's treating it like static text.

It throws this error:

I have movie clips which I made act as buttons, (Previous, Pause/Play, Next).[code]...
The button is a non-filled circle with the proper symbol in the center.
I am going to add themes to my application, where people can choose a pre-selected theme, which will load all info through a xml file (background-image, button colors, scrubber colors, etc).
How would I change the colors of the buttons in my movie clip? They are pre drawn images, that are stored in my library.
It it posible to change the movie clip name with code.Something likemc1._name = 'mc2';
