ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing A Boolean Inside A Movieclip Via The Main Stage?
Jan 24, 2011
I have a movieclip and within it is a bit of actionscript and a couple of different movieclips to make it function like the button on a ball point pen (you click it and it stays clicked until you click it again).
var booleanClick:Boolean = false;
var colorTransform:ColorTransform = optBox.transform.colorTransform;
optHitState.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
function onClickHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
[Code].....
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 was wondering if it's possible to change the frame of a movieclip (present on the stage) by going on a certain frame or clicking a button in the main movie, if you get what I mean. Let's just say I want to go to frame 2 in movieclip "Symbol". Also, would it be possible to do the opposite and go to a frame in the main movie from a movieclip?

I created "symbol1" movie clip. And I have dynamic text "myscore" on the main stage.
I have this code inside of "symbol1".
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, b1);
function b1(event:MouseEvent):void {
myscore.text = "30";
}
And it gives me this error. (1120: Access of undefined property myscore.)
It works only when text and actionscript inside of the same symbol. I tried like this root.myscore.text = "30"; but it still doesn't work.

I have an animation (movieclipX) on frame 2 of main timeline. At the end of movieclipX I'd like the main timeline to move to the next frame, frame 3. How can I do this??Sorry if this is an easy question, I'm in the process of learning.

On the main stage I have a button that I have made invisible once the file is loaded. Inside a movieclip I have on frame 15 the following actionscript 3 code
button_mc.visible = true;
I want the button to become visible at the end of this movieclip. I am not using an external as3 file, I am putting the as3 code in its own layer on the first frame.
I know it has something to do with the path to the button, but I cannot figure it out. If there is anyone who can point me in the right direction for referencing instances by instance name that reside on the main satge from inside a movieclip

I have one button and it's primary role is to stop all sounds in the project when triggered. It is just positioned on the main stage in the main project, not inside of a MC.
I then have a very simple music playing system (4 buttons, one for each song) in it's own MC which displays text of the artist and title song when respective buttons are pressed.
This works fine, apart from the fact that when I click the 'stop sounds' button the text is still displayed from whetever the last song was that had been playing.
I was thinking there must be a simple method of incorporating an actionscript function into the 'stop sounds' button, so that when it's pressed it also takes control of the movie clip and moves it to the first frame which doesn't display any of this text.
I was thinking of a simple gotoAndPlay command followed by something, but I don't know the command to tell Flash where to find frame 1 of this movie clip rather than just frame one of the whole project.

I'm working on a lot of different flash applications Most of those applications are visual and involves the main stage.I started oop a while ago and i got to a point that %99.9 percent of my code is extracted to different classes.There is one thing that repeat on a regular basis on all of my apps, passing the Stage variable to the different classes....It's working great but it doesnt feel right that i need to pass the main stage as a variable between the different classes,is there a better way to access the stage from external classes ? can i make the main stage a static property and access itwithin all the objects in the application ?

Is it possible to make a call from inside a MC to change a frame on the main stage (IE: scene 1 frame 2) rather than just frames within the MC? I've already tried going gotoAndStop("1,2") but that seemed to do jack.

I have a textField inside a mc. When you roll over an event is triggered. In the fuction I can do this:
Code:
event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).text="fred";
And the text changes - so its being targeted. I want to change the format of the text so I thought.
Code:
event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).defaultTextFormat=mTitle_fmt;
But, its doesn't work.
It says "ReferenceError: Error #1037: Cannot assign to a method setTextFormat on flash.text.TextField. at index001_fla::MainTimeline/overHandler()"

I'm having a weird behaviour with some some classes that I'm making. It seems that the Boolean values from arguments get changed on the way. I have two classes. On is called Carousel and the other Activity. The Carousel main task is to instantiate several Activity objects and place them in a way that resembles a carousel. This part is done, but there's a problem passing arguments from Carousel to Activity. Some data to instantiate the Activity come from an XML file. The XML resembles something like this:

I have a movie clip that is a navigation window and I am trying to have some tooltip hover over the buttons inside the navigation window.
If I create a button on the main stage it hovers and works fine but if I create the same clip inside the embedded navigation window the tooltip does not show up. I do not have any error messages but it is not there that I can see.

I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

I have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;
_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?

I have a problem, no I already have the code and here is what I am using (MC is the original movieclip on the stage while MC1 and MC2 are child movieclips within MC)
Code:
var ob1color = new color("_root.MC.MC1");
var ob2color = new color("_root.MC.MC2");
ob1color.setRGB(0x00FF00);
ob2color.setRGB(0x00FF00);
That code works perfectly fine it's just that if I animate MC1 and MC2 within MC it doesn't work I would have to group those 2 into a seperate movieclip called MC3 in order for the animation to work. I mean it's great I found a way around it but is there anyway to NOT have to have that MC3 in order for the animation to work? Because working with so many Movieclips can get so annoying this is my hierarchy.
Code:
[Stage] > [MC] > [MC3] > [MC1 MC2 animation]
That MC3 is an un-needed movieclip other than to work the animation. Is there any way I can fix that? I Also have to change the code to look like this
Code:
var obcolor = new color("_root.MC.MC3");
It's looking like you can't apply a color change AND animate an object.

On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.

I make a website. First I have a frame with a movieclip, where my entire page is within.Inside of that is where all of my pages is in different frames, and in each of these frames there are other movieclips with content. My example:Top level /Entire site/My pages, in different frames /Movies/Pictures/About/Etc./Content (inside the "Movies") /Info about movies/Movie one/Movie two/Etc./My problem is as easy as this: I will link from the "My pages" level, to the first frame in "Content" (info about movies)If i just link to the, "Movies" frame, I can't get from "Movie One" to Info about movies by pressing the button, wich lies on the "My pages" Level.

I'm googling this as I speak, but I have a movie clip called intro_mc that plays in frame 1. My introduction(it's a web portal project that will be published to a server at college) is on frame 2. Can anyone help with the AS code that will take me from the played movie clip on 1 to the main page on 2? The movie clip stops at the end.

I'm having a bit of a hard time with calling a function in the main timeline through a button in a movieclip. The mc is in the main timeline and in it I added a button with this.removeMovieClip(); and so far it works, but when I try to call a function from the main timeline it just doesn't seem to work.

I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...

Hiding Button on Main Timeline from inside separate Movieclip

Nov 3, 2004
I've created a movieclip with buttons inside that I want to use to navigate to different scenes on the main timeline. I have created a function() that loads the button movieclip into the main timeline, but if I try to write a function() to activate the button and move the main timeline to a different scene/frame label it doesn't work. I have tried various things:
navBack_mc.book_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop("book1");
}
I put the code above on the main timeline. It doesn't seem to work. Basically, I could put just an on(release) handler on the buttons, but I wanted to try to keeping all the AS in one place if I can.
