ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Syntax For Accessing An Object In Another Movie Clip?
Jul 5, 2011
I have an object named "Defer" that I need to access. That object only exists in frame 2 of a movie clip named: B2_mc. The other 4 frames of the movie clip B2_mc do not contain the "Defer" object. When I try to access "Defer" with the following code:
Defer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, B2Redd);
function B2Redd(event:MouseEvent):void{
B2_mc.gotoAndStop(4);
}
The .swf doesn't run and the error message says I'm attempting to access an undefined property. I've never tried to access an object that wasn't on the stage, so I know my syntax is wrong for trying to access "Defer" since it's not on the stage. What's the correct syntax for drilling down to an object that may be buried deep somewhere?

I have a movie clip that exists only in the library linked to a scrollpane component using its linkage identifier (the name of this MC is content_mc). It scrolls perfectly. However, in the movie clip there are additional movie clips I would like to control (green_mc), but for that I need to be able to access them using DOT syntax. How can this be done? I'm assuming that since the movie clip in the library has "export in first frame" checked that I would be able to access it somehow like this[code]...

Okay I have this problem and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Here is an outline of what is happening:1. I have a movie clip that contains two components, a combo box and a check box.2. The combo box has the instance name "comboBox", and the check box has the instance name "checkBox".3. The movie clip is exported for actionscript with the identifier "test".4. I run the following code:
[AS]
attached = _root.attachMovie("test","componentContainer", 1);
attached.comboBox.addItem("A", 1);[/AS]

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

I've got a simple ActionScript 1 FLA. The SWF will take incoming variables from SWFObject. e.g. txtVar01, txtVar02, txtVar03 On the first keyframe on the main stage, I have a dynamic textfield, whose 'Variable' name is 'txtVar01'. When I view the SWF in a web page, via SWFObject, the value in the textfield matches that taken from the SWFObject variable. BUT - I have a MoveClip in the FLA, which has 2 other dynamic textfields, called txtVar02 and txtVar03.
When I view the SWF in the web page, these are empty, even though variables are being passed via SWFObject. I guess because the dynamic textfields are within an MC and not on the main stage, they can't access the variable names. I tried adding this to the first frame on the stage:

I have a Flash file with Movice Clips that are placed on the stage at author time. Let's say one of the clips is called "stageClipMC".[code]Tracing "stageClipMC" return "undefined". From this class, how would I access the clip on the stage? I have tried different variations on "MovieClip(root)" and "MovieClip(stage)" to no avail.

I have a movie clip on the root which contains my menu. And another movie clip which plays my video. Basically when i click a menu item it calls a function which i want to able to send a command to my video player to play another video.
This is code inside my video player movie clip (i've missed out the including of the class and various config stuff - below is just so you see the name of the class instance)
var MDVideo:MD_VideoPlayer;
var videoPath:String = "assets/ski_video.flv";
MDVideo = new MD_VideoPlayer(videoPath, local_config_obj);
[Code]....
How do i access the MDVideo instance from my menu movie clip?
i know its probably been answered here before but I havent been able to find exactly what i need to make it work. Plus this is my first time doing AS3 so

I am building an interface that loads swfs externally into an array(pre-loader) my code places these swfs into a container movie clip on stage when called.I am trying to access the swf that is now a child of the movie clip so i can rewind, pause, and play the swf.Currently they are loading in just fine, but my code isn't able to touch the swf. The swfs also play all the way through when they are loaded so when i change to the next one of the sequence my swf is already at its end frame.
Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();//Variable creation-----------------------------------------------------------------var _swfLoader:Loader;var _swfRequest:URLRequest;//creates an array with all the swfs locations inside--------------------------------var _swfPathArr:Array = new

I need help applying the color transform function to a movie clip that exists inside of a button. I want to keep the button a button (as opposed to making it a movie clip as well with onclick and hover handlers) as I already have behaviors built into it and would rather not recreate it. I have the path to the object
[Code]...
Can anyone tell me how to use the colorTransform function on Movie Clips inside of buttons. Is there another way to indicate this path? I am using CS4 and actionscript 3.

I was actually looking for the adobe docs online that would cover syntax like the following:
SWFLoader(event.target).content['wrFont']
That's from my own code, so obivously I know it works, its just that after 2 years of Flex programming, I have still not encountered any sort of formal documentation on the rules governing this access method (i.e. like in the above where I'm accessing the wrFont member of the loaded SWF via an array index syntax and a string.
Specifically, it would be things like, determining if the referenced member even exists - what would be the standard method for doing that (Surely not just a try-catch block right?). But not just that, but formal Adobe Documentation on all relevant aspects of the above. I've downloaded all zipped adobe docs off of their live docs site - where is all this fully documented.ON a side note, something that's always bugged me about google, is that with a search string like ".content[" it just ignores the "[" character as irrelevant, though if I could just find that search string I would have my answer. But google doesnt search for characters like "[" evidently. Neither does Bing. Does any search engine do this.

I am having this problem with actionscript 2:
I have a class that instantiates a movieclip from the library, eg: myBar:MovieClip = level0.AttachMovie("debugbar", "debugbar_mc", 999);
myBar is an instance variable in the class.
Now the important part - debugbar in the library is a movieclip that contains some components - buttons and textInputs. The problem comes when trying to access these components.
I would have thought that this would work: myBar.input_txt.text = "hello";
in order to set the text of "input_txt", the instance name of a TextInput component on the timeline of the movie clip (frame 1 of a 1 frame mc).
This does not work. Infact, I cannot access any specific "component" properties - they come back undefined. I cannot added event handlers for the component events either.
I can however set and retrieve MovieClip properties for the "input_txt", such as _x. However there is one added strange thing with this too - setting _visible to false doesn't seem to work (however perhaps a component by default overrides this).
I tried casting it to a component, such as:
var temp:TextInput = TextInput(myBar.input_txt);
trace(temp);
which gave "temp" as null. Without casting, it gives the path to correctly.
It almost seems like the components are somehow broken when trying to access them this way - or that they cannot be accessed this way?
The thing is, I was able to access all of this before, when the code to do it was placed on the timeline (frame 1, the only frame) of the debugbar itself, where the components were placed at authortime.
I need to have it in a class though, as I need to pass in certain objects that need to be accessed by the mc. I am rather baffled as to why all this doesn't work.

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I'm writing a card game in AS3. The artist I'm working with has produced (in Flash CS4) a single swf-file containing all the card graphics and animations. The structure of the fla working file looks something like this:
- Scene
- CardGraphics (Movie Clip)
- CardFront
- CardBack
- CardValueImage (Movie Clip)
In the program I create 52 instances of my Card class, each having a MovieClip instance created from the loaded swf. The idea is to set the frame of the CardValueImage MovieClip to correspond to the Card instance's suit and rank member variables. However, I can't figure out how I access CardValueImage and call gotoAndStop (or whatever method I will need to call).

I have a HTML page that contains a flash file and some a JavaScript function that returns the object of the flash file.So far I can call the JavaScript function from C# and have it return an Object, but I want to cast it as AxShockwaveFlash and access the COM Object directly from C#.I have seen this done with Windows Media Player imbedded in the a HTML page, but it doesn't seem to work with flash.[code]When I try to cast the Object to AxShockwaveFlash it fails, but I have seen it work casting the object to WindowsMediaPlayer.I tried to find if AxShockwaveFlash supports QueryInterface calls, as per the error message but Google returned nothing of value.

I'm using FlashDevelop as IDE and I'm trying to connect to AMF3 service (amfphp) and get user details.I can connect to AMF service with this code in AMFinit() function...
private function AMFinit():void{
AMFService.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF3;
AMFService.connect(AMFServiceURL);
AMFService.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
[code]....
But to use outside the AMF_MyUserInfo() function I want to copy that "res" object to another object. I tried with specifing an object in Class and set res to this object in AMF_MyuserInfo() function with "this.myobject = res" but it didn't work.
I also tried "this.myobject.username = res.username" but it didn't work also. how can I use this res object globally or in AMFinit() function?
