I have a movieclip AAA(W:550xH:1200) placed on the stage (W:550xH:400). Inside of the movieclip, there are many other moveclips. I like to implement this result: When I scroll(Y-axis) the movieclip AAA to a position, the moveclips inside of AAA will fade in, and the other movieclips out side of the stage will fade out.
View 4 RepliesI have a movie clip that is added to the stage.. by the instance name of PHP Code:"ITEM1"Is there a way to check if a particular movieclip/instance is already on the stage?Maybe something along the lines of
PHP Code:
if(_root.ITEM1 == true){}
I am trying to write an IF Else statement that will check to see if a movieclip on the stage has an external SWF loaded in it that was loaded using the loadMovie command. Does the loadMovie command or the internal movieclip object have any kind of a built in function that will return a value if it has an external SWF loaded in it?

I don't work with the Flash IDE very much, and I'm running into a problem with the unreliable creation order of components instantiated by the Flash IDE "magic".

I would like to constantly (with an interval) check if the mouse is inside a movieclip or not. I think this should be done with hitTest, but I'm not quite sure how to use it.
View 6 RepliesI'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...
what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:

trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
Is there any way to check if any other movieclip is hitting one specific movieclip (not two specific movieclips) something like --> if(movieClip1.hitTestObject(movieClipX)){
with movieClipX being any movieclip
I have 8 movieclip on stage, 4 of them being the contents, and the other 4 being the target. I have to drag all of the 4 contents, into the target. apparently, i am able to do that, but the problem i'm facing right now, is the button that is on stage, is suppose to check if the movieclip are in the right place, which i set them.
Here are the codes:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm looking to make a flash banner very similar to the one shown on here [url]..I'm really stuck on what techniques i need to use.
View 5 RepliesI have a flash file that is in a div that is hidden when the page is loaded with the css property display:none. The div with the flash content is then shown at a later stage through javascript.
When will the flash file load? Ideally, I only want it to load when the div is shown.
My flash banner is a sliding show with navigation made in AS3.I've checked it after uploading in internet explorer, firefox, chrome and safari and i tworked fine. My colleague checked it on his pc in internet explorer and he couldn't see it at allIs there any script, which can remove blocking or tell the user to do it or update th ebrowser.

in Flash CS4 I created two FLA file.
In the First File:
- I draw a shape;
- I convert it to a MovieClip;
- I link a MyClip class with a simple trace in the constructor;
- I export the whole file as MyClip.SWC;
In the Second File:
- I go to Edit > Preferences > ActionScript > ActionScript 3 settings and I add
-in the Library Path- the file MyClip.SWC;
- on the first frame of this swf I write var myClip:MyClip = new MyClip(); addChild(myClip);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I compile (export swf) the class gets loaded (I see the trace in the output window) BUT I can't see the graphics associated to MyClip. It seems MyClip.SWC only contains the code of that clip.
I'm working on a flash website which is published as a 100% x100% with no scale but I want to add a menu wich has to been shown always at the left of the screen. At home I've got a resolution of 1024x768 but on my work 1920 x 1200. In both cases I like to see the menu in left. Because i like to design some sort of paper strips wich are only visible for like a bit. On a mouseover it will be totally visible. Do I need to add some actionscript with a screensize detection and then some code with _y _x and stuff to place it or do I need to change the settings for the html publish?

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.
I want to check if the stage is loaded with stuff. If it is, remove it and load my new stuff. If it isn't load my stuff.
View 1 RepliesNot sure the best way to do this. I have a class we will call DropActivity, here is the code
[Code]...
when the stopDraggingMe() method is called from another object (code shown below) I need to see all the objects on the stage to see what objects on the stage my currently selected movie clip is over and assign it to the dropCheck.checkAgainst method (that will be checked against an array to see if it can in fact be dropped, if so set the canBeDropped value to true and therefor run the .stopDrag() ). I have read using root is not a good coding practice in AS 3.
[Code]...
for AS3.people thi is how you rock:
ActionScript Code:
if (neslide.map) {
//var maptween:Map = new Map(this,origwidth,origheight);

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

I have a lot of different movieclips on the main stage, with a majority of them being mcHotspot movieclips. These mcHotspots are simply yellow boxes which display a 40% alpha so users can see where they can click on the stage. When you click one of these hotspots, a menu is displayed which contains more mcHotspot movieclips embedded within it.
I'd like to have a single button that will loop through all the items on the stage and display anything that is of type "mcHotspot". Is this possible, and is there a way I can dig down into any items of type movieclip that are NOT mcHotspots to see if they have mcHotspots themselves? I'm basically looking to use a recursive loop that will go to the lowest level. I know there is a typeof function that returns either Number, String, movieclip, etc. but is it possible to know what type of movieclip it is?
I have several jpg files in small sizes inside a photogallery in my Flash presentation and wish to have them displayed - if required - individually outside of Flash as well, i.e. when people will click on a particular jpg, a new Tab will open and a full size jpg will be streamed there, no matter how large in size, no matter whether small or large in screen dimensions, etc. The user will remain inside my Flash program and continue looking through other jpgs. Can anyone help, pls. I use Flash CS5+ActionScript 2
View 1 Replies1) In the attached file, I have a movie clip that quickly comes across the top of the screen (following a short distance). I want it to start out with 0 alpha and i want it to fade in to 100 alpha. However, I want to do this using Actionscript while I'm EASING the movie clip. I'm trying to NOT use the timeline and do automated tweens for this function. If I combine them, it compliles but the output gets all messed up.
2) The quality of the text shown as the movie clip is not the same as how it looks in FLASH. I jacked up the quality of the output to 100% and it's still the same. any reason why?
