View 3 RepliesI am currently building a site with AS3 and have run into a small problem. I Have my Main swf which is the site. Inside that I have a "gallery" which is full of buttons. I have it set up so when you click a button to view a image it loads a separate smaller swf on top of the main swf. What I would like to do is be able to have the smaller swf open in the middle of the main swf and be able to drag it around. How would I go about controlling a swf inside a swf?
View 5 RepliesI am very new to AS3, and I'm confused about how things that would have been simple in AS2 are so complex and tricky now. For example, I want to create a bunch TextField objects that, for some reason, rise up every frame (as in : object.y-=1; ).However, I also need each TextField to reference the TextField that was created just before it.
I tried creating a variable that would hold such a reference : ThisTextField.Ref=LastTextField; but - this returns an "Access of possibly undefined property..." error. It seems I can only have custom properties on mere Objects ! This is annoying because an Object doesn't seem to accept event listeners (remember, I need them to do something every frame). Is there a way to simply set custom properties on my TextFields, without having to use custom packages ? Or is there a way to use event listeners on Objects ? I've read something about strict mode which could allow setting properties on other objects - what are the risks of turning it off ?
I created a movie clip which loops some text, i would like to populate the stage with instances of it but also with some in a different colour. When I copy frames from my clip and paste them into a new symbol(movie clip) the colour of the other instances changes as well.

I created several instance of the same MC like this

I want to trace all the names of a Movie clip properties. Funny thing is that I used to know how to do that. Now when i use [code]It only traces the names of nested Movie Clips not also properties like _x, _width. Anyone knows how to do that?
View 1 RepliesI've got a problem with the Properties panel for Movie Clips, Graphics and Buttons. I clicked 'Advanced Options' at some point to see what they were, and now I have no idea how to get back to basic options like Alpha, Tint, etc.
View 3 RepliesI have created a movieclip1 :head, a second movieclip: body
created a movieclip that uses head and body and called that player.
And I create a simple moving animation : works great !
then I associated a class to head: Head.as
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Head extends MovieClip {
[Code]....
When I uncomment trace this.alpha = 1 the ANIMATION IS STOPPED.
My player movie clip has a smaller movieclip within it. Because the smaller movieclip is not within the parent clip it changes the x,y,width,and height value of the player movieclip and throwing everything off! To adjust I have to add (-2ndmovieclip.height) to everything i want to do. This is sloppy and I don't like it. Is there a better way to have a child within a movieclip without it affecting the parents properties? i want the parent to keep its original x,y,width,and height properties but the child keeps adding to them!
View 5 RepliesI have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.

Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesI am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
I have two buttons that are movie clips in Flash CS4 and when button 1 is on Over stage, I want the button 2 stop movie clip at the certain frame.
View 8 RepliesI have a MC, which i would like to act as a button, controlled by AS. So,inside the MC is a simple animation (the button just goes left for ten frames (preferred rollOver action) and then back for another ten (preferred rollOut action).On the MC actions I put:
on (rollOver) {
this.useHandCursor;
this.gotoAndPlay(1);[code].......
What happens is the following: on mouse over the mc goes left, on mouse out the mc goes back to its original place.It works exactly as it is supposed to. Exactly until you try again... if you move the mouse away from the mc (onRollOut), before the animation reaches the end, it goes bezerk.what happens and also how the animation can be done using only AS (with some for loop or function or something and chaning _x property)?
