ActionScript 3.0 :: Check Which Movie Clip Is On Stage?
Feb 13, 2009
I'm trying to create a slideshow, using Flash CS3 and AS3. I have 6 thumbnails with buttons attached to them, and then 6 movieclip images placed on the stage manually, each on a different layer. Inside of each image MC (i.e. image01_mc is the instance name of the first image), the image is animated to enlarge outwards from the thumbnail to make a larger version of the image. Standard operating procedures, and all that. So far, the buttons successfully call upon the frame label inside the imageClips to enlarge.
The next part of the problem is that when clicking the next thumbnailButton, I want the currently enlarged image to diminish in size back to its thumbnail, so that the next image can take its place. I have a frame label inside those imageClips to make that animation.
I think, with my rudimentary understanding of AS3, that I need to find out which movie clip instance is on the stage, using If statements, with some code to gotoAndPlay the frame inside the imageClips that shrinks the image.
I've tried various combinations of If, Else if, getChildByName, etc, that I've found in numerous posts, but nothing seems to work.

Is there any way to check the currentframe or totalframes of a movie loaded into a 'holder clip' on the main stage? Everything i try just comes back with 1 frame despite there being more than that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

I'm having a little trouble with the following code. When a user clicks on a button, I would like to add the corresponding movie clip to the stage, and remove the previous movie clip. This code works, but I know I am adding all the movie clips onto the stage at once, which isn't what I want. I don't want the movie clips to tween onto the stage, I want them to just play.
var arrNavigation:Array = [{button:about_mcButton, page:about_mc},{button:n2_mcButton, page:services_mc},
{button:n3_mcButton, page:products_mc}]
for(var i=0;i<arrNavigation.length;i++){

i am still quite beginner. How come i cannot see the movie clip on the stage even though i tried to drag and drop the explosion movie clip from the library?
Another question: How to import and test by scrubbing the playhead between 0 and 20 frames to show the animation of explosion on the stage, not testing in flash format.

I'm having problems with a combobox that I've got set up to add a movie clip to the stage. What I'd like to happen is when a user selects an item from the comboBox the MovieClip is added to the stage. It kind of works but you have to click on the item twice for the MC to be added.Here's my code:
Code:
var IronsMC:Irons = new Irons();
product.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK, ItemClickHandler);
function ItemClickHandler (event:ListEvent):void {

I want to change variables on the main stage's code from within a movie clip.
Say for example, I want to change a variable called 'chair'
In AS2, this is how I would do it:
(on the main stage)
Code:
chair = 2;
(in the movie clip)
[Code].....
But all I get is a 1119 error saying 'Access of possibly undefined property chair through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.'

So im working on a game, and i have a mvoie clip of class cPlayer in the library, i also have a class cUser which is an object of a user in the game.
i have an array of users,and have user[0]:cUser = new cUser() loaded when the game starts, which allows me to keep track of that user.
how do i make it so that upon initialization of a cUser instance, it loads an instance of cPlayer (a movie clip in my library) onto the stage, and also control that movie clip from within my class?
is it possible to have each cUser instance control its own cPlayer, or does there need to be another array to keep the cPlayers also?
XD im still trying to wrap my mind around the flash class strucutres.

I've got the actual calculator part working fine, but depending on the number I want to display product recommendations. I thought the best way to do this would be to create movie clips with the products and use the addChild function to create new one.
Code:
stop();
equal_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, equClick);

I want to make a movie clip move anywhere outside the stage, but dont really know how should I do it, here is the codeI think that some changes should be made somewhere around math.random, where I put that // ???btw, I got this code from a tutorial where it was about attaching like 50 balls at once, making them move to random locations so there might be some useles things too the point is that I want a ball to be attached somewhere, preferably to the middle of the stage, and I want it to move in random direction with constant speed. I tried many ways of doing it, but the ball was changing direction every frame or other lame things happened

I've got a couple instances of the same movie clip on the stage. Via actionscript, I want to apply a tween to both instances. Then, when you click on the instance I want its tween to stop, but not affect the other instance. Does that make sense?
