How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is - directly on the stage) OR on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder") like i'm trying here?

How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is) or on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder")?
function onMouse_Down(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("MouseDown occured");
[Code]....
My Problem is, that e.target.name is null, when clicking on the stage. When clicking on the mcSlideHolder e.target.name is "instance235".
The reason I am trying to check to see if a movieclip is on stage or not is to remove it when someone clicks another section of the navigation. say they click work_mc, then they click a button in work_mc, this launches workss_mc. I want to check on the navigation is workss_mc is on the stage or not, if so remove it. This is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to be working..
Code:
nav_mc.skillsbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick3);
function buttonClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
var workss_mc:mc_workss;
[Code]....
I have somme mc's on the stage an I want thatto change on mc with antoher by clicking on them. For example if I click on mc1 and than on mc2 than they schould change the positions.
View 1 RepliesThere is a button inside MovieClip1 and once it is clicked movieclip2 apeares inside movieclip3.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to build a simple class, where my object(s) that get put on the stage continually checks through an EnterFrame Event the y position of an animation on the stage, and if the y pos of this animation is greater than the object doing the checking, then I want to remove it from the stage.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am making a game where you are attacked by a waves of zombies. The first 'wave' is just one zombie and when this is off stage (either gone passed you or been killed) i use this code to check if it's gone and then instigate the 2nd wave of enemies (ie, change wave2ready variable to true)
ActionScript Code:
if( _root.Zombie1)
{
wave1Timer = wave1Timer + 1;
[Code]....
However this sets wave3ready to true when any one of Zombie 2 3 or 4 are destroyed.
on clicking the Search Icon , a search bar will be visible (ON) if user click anywhere on the stage the search bar will be NO visible(OFF) OR user click on ICON again the search bar will be OFF but it Stage CLICK is triggered without clicking

I'm working on a SmartVersioning ad using MediaMind using ActionScript 2 (the publisher doesn't allow AS3).
Skipping over how it's implemented - basically what I have is a collection of MovieClips on the main timeline that contain a swappable image (through the Smart Versioning service). You can only define objects as Smart Versioning objects if they are on the main timeline.
What I'm doing with this is using BitmapData to use the assets on the main timeline as a source for the graphics throughout the animation.
Should be as easy as:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(143, 230, true, 0);
bmd.draw(_root.person1);
attachBitmap(bmd, getNextHighestDepth());
[Code]....
I have this flash timeline with an empty movieclip in it. And i have some button that attaches an 'actionscript-exported' movieClip from the library..[code]Now...each time i press that button, the 'some_mc' loads. Is there some clever way of checking if the movieclip has already loaded, so that it doesn't load if it's already loaded.[code]
View 6 RepliesI have a series of movieclips placed on the stage, that I have all given the same base class. When a movieclip is clicked, they scale up to 100%, and when clicked again, they scale back to their initial scale.What I would like, is to make it so that if another movieclip has already been scaled up previously, that movieclip will scale back down to it's original size, before the other movieclip that has just been clicked on, scales up. This is the basic code I currently have for all my movieclips:
Code:
private function fullImage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
parentX = MovieClip(parent).x;[code].............
how do you check whether a certain mc or sprite has any children inside it... does the following do the trick?
[as]
if (mc.length > 0)
{
trace ("mc has children");

I got a very short question but I can't seem to find it on the internet (might be because I'm using the wrong terms). Is it possible to listen with a listener when a movieclip has been resized? I know there is a listener to do this with the Stage object. If this is not possible: do I have to make an interval that constantly checks if a movieclip is resized?

View 4 Repliesif you have a movieclip nested inside another clip, and you scale the parent clip, how do you see what the nested clips new sizes is?
so i have a circle(50x50) movieclip nested inside a container clip.
i scale the container clip, and then trace the nested circles width and still get a width of 50, the question is.... how do i get the size of the scaled circle, and not its original size?
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
View 0 RepliesI am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.

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 am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?

View 3 RepliesI have added a listener to the stage to close a loader object when the stage is clicked. The problem is the click seems to effect the loader object to (basically when you click the loader it calls the click function attached to the stage). Is that to be expected? I suppose it makes sense, but is there a way of adding a listener to the stage that excludes certain objects?
View 3 RepliesWhen I listen to mouse click event on the stage, it seems it's not always responding to my mouse click event. what I have is:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Test);
function Test(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("test");
}
I usually have to click a few times randomly on the stage to get the trace statement.
I thought when I add this event listener to the stage, it should respond to any mouse click within the swf area, no?
Everything was working great.We were instructed to build upon this simple design and add a welcome screen and a game over screen with a click to play button and a click to quit button. I was able to successfully create those screens in new frames on the timeline and have them gotoAndStop at the original game frame, but now instead of being able to move the avatar with the keyboard arrows, I have to click the stage first to use them.
