I've created 10 dynamic MC's that have 10 dynamic MC's in each one. How can I address those nested MC's?
this.getChildAt("level1mc1").getChildAt("level2mc1 "); - doesn't work For some reason, Flash doesn't allow doubling this method.
i have a movie clip, but the size might be different on certain functions (probably not using correct terms) but you can probably understand.so the size of the movieclip is not the same all the time, but i need to double its size with actionscript. I have no idea where to start but i have a idea this would work.Make a function to get the CURRENT size of the movie clip. Then make a function to multiply that number by 2, then make a function to set the movieclip to that.also i want to be able to use this with easyTween or one of those tweener programs.
View 2 RepliesI've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{

how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!
I've never had to deal with a mc inside of an mc this way before... Basically they're already on the stage and creating them dynamically would require recreating everything.... Not worth it.
Code:
//14 total
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 14; i++){

I'm working on an educational game that interacts with randomly selected characters. The names and attributes are imported from xml. I have a mc called characters that contains each character on a frame tagged with their name. The frame label is the characters name and I am having no problem displaying each character as they are randomly called.
Code:
characters = new Characters();
characters.gotoAndStop(characterName);
characters.y = 350;
gameSprite.addChild(characters);
Each charater is a mc with 2 frames one with mouth closed and one with mouth open. Because the characters are accessed using the variable characterName as the frame tag I can't figure out how to tell the movie in AS3 to gotoAndStop on frame 2 of the character mc. I've tried numerous variations and just can't get it to work.
Everything works correctly below. The new button displays on stage, but the nested dynamic text (instance name "campText") will not display.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property campText through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Here's the short code:
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.TextField;

Background: I have a class called MultipleChoiceQuestion which pulls the stem and choices from an xml file. The choices for each question are randomized. The Quiz class has a set of specified multiple choice questions which it loads dynamically. It also references the xml file to determine # of questions. The quiz controls the question progression based on correct answers. The main movie launches the quiz at the appropriate time.
Issue I want the question building to be dynamic and load the choices and randomize them. How do I do this? Right now I publish the quiz as a swf and then load it into the main movie, but that is static and always has the same choices in the same order. How can I do this dynamically?
I have been working with AS2 for a long time, but are a total newbie when it comes to AS3.On my stage I have placed an empty MC with instance name "holder".In my library I got a MC linked by the name "sektor".
"sektor" has several movieclips and buttons with instance name, e.g. "corner1", "corner2", "corner3"....
I have nested "sektor" inside "holder" by writing this code:
Code:
var newClip:sektor = new sektor();
newClip.name = "sektor1";
holder.addChild(newClip);
What I want to achieve is to control those movieclips inside "sektor" by turning dem on/off.I have tried to do this with this code:
Code:
holder.sektor1.corner1.visible = false;
but I keep on getting this error:
"TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."
I have figured out that by tracing holder, I know it�s excisting (Result: [object MovieClip]) but if I try to trace holder.sektor1, I got the result "undefined". So it seems like "sektor1" is not excisting. Why?
Using a hybrid of some K tutes and others, I was able to get dynamic HTML to load and scroll. No prob. I added it to a nested movie clip, figured out some dot targeting (in an ongoing attempt to shuck telltarget), and got the HTML to load but the scrollbar isn't functioning. It's there, but doesn't work?? I've searched around here and found plenty of titles that fit the description, but not the issue... Chances seem really good that I'm doing something obviously wrong. I'm hoping so at least...

Say we have a set of similar MovieClips in the library that all use the same base class, such as Car(). Each of these clips in the library contain nested clips, such as windows. Now, different cars can have a different number of windows (an SUV is larger than a smart car), and thus a different number of nested MovieClips. How would one create a list of all the nested MovieClips in a parent clip dynamically? In AS2, for...in was sufficient for this, like so:
Code:
for(var i in this) {
trace(i); //If called at the beginning of a constructor, this would output only the nested

I have an object
obj = { a: 1, b: { c: 1, g: x, h: { j: {k: z} } } };
if I have an array of dynamic length ["a", "b", [...], "g" ]
How can I now update a.b.c.g ? example:
function set($target, $new_value, $array){
//magic
}
set(obj, y, ['b', 'g']);

How to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC! I've attached the FLA also.
Let's say I have a movie clip named MC in stage. The following statements work.
var clipName = "MC";
this[clipName].y = 100;
However, if I put a child movie clip (named childMC) inside that MC movie clip, I'm not able to address the child movie clip by the same fashion. I'll get an error.
var clipName = "MC.childMC";
this[clipName].y = 100;
Is there any way to address the child movie clip with dynamic name?
why wont this work?
some_mc["nested_mc_name"].onPress = function():Void {
trace ("test")
};
I'm trying to make a dynamic function so I can pass a string var for the name of any nested movieClip I want on the fly.
Well this is the problem right here. In my flash movie, I made it so a member from my PunBB Forum can login using their login information from the forum, This is using the LoadVars and it loads the variables into flash and displays the username. In the php script i made it so it will display profile information that user has on the forum, this is where the problem comes in.. I can trace the data perfectly fine in the output panel when you are successfully logged into flash.
I can also display the data in Dynamic text boxes IF they are on the main stage.. I need to be able to load the data of the user inside of a movie clip.. that is loaded when you click "User Profile" on the menu, Once the movie is loaded, no data is displayed. Yes i have all the instance names and paths correct, but no matter what i do I cannot load the data into this movie clip. So me thinking it just wouldnt work, I tried making a profile page on a different keyframe in the timeline, That also did not load the data onto another frame.
I've got a bug in my code, where a button has to be double clicked to work.Just wondering what is the standard distinction for the difference between single and double click.
my code
ActionScript Code:
ns.seek(0);
subtitles._visible = true;[code].....
the idea is that it runs a function only when the above button is pressed, but it doesn't seem to work the first time you press the button ?
I'm trying to do a cleaning of some classes that is added into a MovieClip, but I can't seems to set the MovieClip(Class) to null. What is the proper way to do it?

As the title says, i would like to have an object which is nested beneath another objects depth set higher than that of one the is NOT nested. Is this possible if so how, may be real easy and im just over-looking it but

There was no option for any Flash player, so I have had to settle for Firefox fo now which is annoying as it has changed all my SWF icons to the FF logo.I have Flash CS3 installed, and use Flash regularly to create banners and things, so this is a pain.

I've never seen this type of structure before and I'm having a heck of a time trying to search for it on Google - I've found what it means in just about every programming language except AS3.
I never really dealt with double click in flash, but I've been always thinking it's just the same as any mouse event handling. Here is the simple test code I've made:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

I'm really sick of clicking that red circle, but I got no event firing at all. I've changed windows double-click settings, have made another testing mouse listeners (all of them are firing) and all the things...
I have a MC in my project that acts as a popup window only it is really just a movie clip. One that loads hi-res pictures AND... here's the important part....has a startDrag() action attached to it so that the user can move the picture aside if they so desire.However to close this window, I'd like to have the user DOUBLE CLICK with the mouse. They should be able to double click anywhere on the movie clip or even anywhere else... it doesnt matter really. The thing is, how do I listen for a double click in ActionScript??
View 6 RepliesI build a .fla project, and publish a .swf.
If I double click the .swf to play, it opens two .swfs, the one I'm double clicking and one from a previous project.
If I drag the .swf directly to the stand alone Flash Player then no problem, just the one movie.
I could deal with this except now I've sent a client a .swf, and when he double clicks it opens the .swf he clicked on, and one from a previous project I sent that is on his hard drive.

But I cannot get the double click event to ever be recognized.
