This should be super easy, but I am stuck on the last part:Two event listeners- 1 roll over and 1 roll out on a button.
They call individual functions: homeROv & homeROu respectively.
In my roll over function (homeROv) I place a mc on the stage.
Now, what i want is for the roll out function to target that added mc and remove it.[code]...

Now I want to control the timeline of the external SWF from the main movie timeline. How do I reference the child of the M1 object in AS3? example: M1.child.stop(); (doesn't work of course).
I made a class that creates a "kind" of menu with data from a XML file and basically what it does when it is called is create a emptyMC (a container), add a childMC (a square) and add another child (a text label). When I create the container I'm trying to add a MouseEvent that can act on each the container instances but all I can get is a MouseEvent on object containing all the added MCs.

Here it is: In scene 1 i have a movie clip(1), and inside that clip, i have another clip (2) The thing is, i want to push clip 2, and when i do that i want to go to a diffrent frame in clip 1. The thing is i cant seem to control clip 1 with clip 2. I think its probably because i have to tell clip 2 that its clip 1 its commanding and not the root in scene 1 or something.
View 9 RepliesI have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:

I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

I am making a web site in flash in which I have multiple movie clips.I have mc_buttonMenu on the main timeline.Inside of mc_buttonMenu, I have 3 buttons that are all button symbols.From the main timeline, I have a movie clip called mc_allPages.In this movie clip, I have a few layers.I have the content layer.This layer controls how my pages display.I have another layer called labels.I labeled frames 1 to 10 as 'home' and layers 11 to 20 as 'contactUs'.I have another layer in mc_allPages called actions.I put a stop(); on frame 10 and frame 20 on this layer.I want to be able to control the movie clip mc_allPages from within the movie clip mc_buttonMenu.I put some action script in various places, but it never worked.I tried this action script:
_root.btn_home.onPress()
{
Gotoandplay("home");[code]...........
I tried placing that code on the main timeline, inside mc_allPages, inside mc_buttonMenu and split up into both buttons appropriately for btn_home and btn_contactUs.Sometimes the animation would stop on frame 10 and sometimes it would just play through to frame 20 and ignore the stop(); I put on frame 10 inside the mc_allPages movie clip.However, whenever I pressed the button ( btn_contactUs ), it never went to the frame labeled "contactUs" in the allPages movie clip.
I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.

I have 2 movie clips, let's call them mcParent and mcChild. mcParent is a movie clip on the stage, and mcChild is a movie clip inside mcParent.I want to listen and execute a function (which is defined on the first frame of the stage), when mcChild is clicked. So I add the following script on the 1st frame of the main clip (stage):
Code:
mcParent.mcChild.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickChild);
function clickChild(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("click");
}
The clickChild function, however, is never called. So for whatever reason I am not receiving the event.
PS: I cannot add the event to mcChild. I know, that would be easy, but I need to have it this way, because when mcChild is clicked, I want to fade out mcParent (the clip that is on the stage).

I have a portfolio page with several trailer thumbnails (a portfolio list). If you click on each, the page changes and you see the trailer in a video player, plus more info about the film. I used two frames in the timeline: the first frame has the clip with the thumbnails (port_list). The second frame has a movie clip container and the video player. The idea is that pressing the respective button from port_list will load the details of that movie and the movie into the video player. I am using this script:
ZSQ_but.onRelease = function (){
_parent.gotoAndStop("por_details");
myplayer.contentPath = "videos/ZSQ.flv";
por_details_cont.attachMovie("ZSQ_details","ZSQ_de tails",0);
}
Even though the script looks alright (and works alright if at the root level), it will not work from the child clip. What am I doing wrong??
