ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get Nested MovieClip To Play
Aug 31, 2010
I'm having a problem trying to get some nested movie clips to play. I have three movie clips on three different layers all on frame one of the parent layer. each layer has a labIe (well just call it "layer1", "layer2. "layer3") I have a stop command on the parent level (on its own layer). each of the three movie clips has its own animation (the nested animation). The lower two have a stop command in their first frame(nested) so they wont play. Only the top movieclip would play on run. I want to place a gotoandplay command in the nested timeline of the above movie, that will start to play the next lower movie clip nested timeline, as the above one is ending, and repeat this process to cylce back around to the top movieclip. The overall goal is to have one animation move into the other using nested timeline smoothly.

I have a nested movie clip (image sequence) that I use the code snippet from Flash CS5 to GoToAndPlay. The Movie Clip loops continuously. How do I get it to play once and stop. I've tried the snippet for GoToAndStop, I've tried stop(); in my 'Actions' layer. I've tried a stop(); in the last frame of my nested sequence. I've tried a stop at the end of the function but nothing stops the darn thing. It keeps going and going and going.
Here is my typical code that loops....
stop();
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
function cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1); }
btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
function ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(10); }
There are two(2) buttons on the page, basically and back and forward button, and the image sequence is nested in a movie clip in this case at frame (1) and another nested movieclip at frame (10). How can I make it play once and stop on the last frame of the nested clip?

I am trying to play a nested movieclip by clicking on a button. I have an instance name for the nested moviclip, and this is the code I atatched to the button:
on (release) {
_root.conference.gotoAndStop(35);
}
Nothing happens when I click the button with that code. However, if I take out the instance name, the button will play the frame specified:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(220);
}

I have a clip on my main timeline, inside of which is another clip. I have animated the main clip (just 10 frames, keyframes at 1 and 10, with a motion tween). Then I open it, and "animate" the nested clip on its own timeline. I say animate in quotes because it's really just 5 keyframes with no tweens as I've been told that tweens in nested clips make a mess. I know nested animatetions don't show by scrubbing the timeline, but it won't show when Testing the movie, or even after publishing it as a .swf. The nested clip does play on its own timeline from within the clip, but not outside it.

I am working with Captivate 4 and have embedded a SWF that has AS3 code to dynamically an image (among a few other things) that needs to position another animation based on the size and position of the image. I've tried placing the animation in the captivate file directly and referencing it with this.parent.name which didn't work and seeme to break the rest of the code. I also tried loading the animation as a separate external swf which works until it's embedded into the parent. It loads it and positions it but won't advance it past the first frame even when I called objectname.play();

I have a movie clip, lets call this Container. This contains another 4 movie clips, BubbleRed, BubbleGreen, BubblePurple and BubbleGold. Each of these 4 movie clips have an animated time line. When a Container is rolled over it is added to an array. I have a function which does things to the Containers on the array. However I have been trying to get the movie clips in the container to play.

I'm creating a website by splitting up the main timeline into the different pages of the site. I'm trying to make a dropdown menu on the 3rd frame. On a layer called buttons I have a button with the instance name patientnumberbtn. I want that when you roll over this button is tells the menu to drop. The movie clip for the menu is nested on its own layer of the main timeline. I would like to play this nested timeline, (the drop down menu has masks and other animations that are moving around). This movieclip that everything is nested in has an instance name of patientnumbermenu. Here is what I am using for code.
patientnumberbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE _OVER,patientnumber_over);
function patientnumber_over(event:MouseEvent):void
{
patientnumbermenu.play();
}
When I run it there is an output error #1009 but it still lets me proceed. When I roll over patientnumberbtn, nothing happens. Within the patientnumbermenu I have stop commands to prevent it from playing when we first reach frame 3 of the main timeline. I've removed these commands and the patientnumbermenu will play even though the commands used to get to frame 3 is a gotoAndStop(); command.

I have a movie clip, lets call this Container. This contains another 4 movie clips, BubbleRed, BubbleGreen, BubblePurple and BubbleGold. Each of these 4 movie clips have an animated time line.
When a Container is rolled over it is added to an array.
I have a function which does things to the Containers on the array.
However I have been trying to get the movie clips in the container to play.
Basically here is my code
Code:
function Pop(m:Movieclip){
switch(m.currentFrame) {
case 1:
[Code].....
And so on for the four bubbles. However when hovered over this code just breaks.
So I tried instead of BubbleRed, assigning the movie clips inside the container instance names, Red, Green, Purple, Gold.
This didn't result in a crash, however the time line of each instance still wouldn't play!

I have a nested movieclip that I need to control.I have searched the net and to this point I have been able to make it gotoAndStop at frame 1 and play().I can't make it stop.I understand that actionscript can be attached to the movieclip instance or placed on the root timeline.what I would like is direction to websites and or tutorials that might teach me how to control a nested movieclip.

I'm trying to build a styled, rounded button movieclip that I can reuse/resize. So inside a movieclip, I have two layers:
Layer 1: A border, which is a shape - a rounded rectangle (or actually the stroke of a rounded-rect).
Layer 2: A nested movieclip which contains a shape for the face of the button. I have added filters to this nested movieclip to give it a beveled-type look - typical rounded button stuff.
So, I've tried applying scale-9 to the parent movieclip: in this case the border scales fine, but the face (with the filters) does not. So, then I tried applying scale-9 to both the parent and the nested face movieclip,I want to be able have the button self contained as a clip which I can pull from the library, drop on the stage, and scale without distortion - and so far, as mentioned,I can't figure out how the get the nested face, the one with the filters applied, to scale appropriately.

I have a main swf that loads an external swf (WNC.swf). The external swf (WNC.swf) contains a scrollPane that loads another external swf (WNC_DATA.swf). I'm trying to target the WNC_DATA.swf from the main swf, so I can tell it to go to frame (2). The following code targets the first child swf (WNC.swf), however I'm unable to target WNC_DATA.swf inside the scrollPane.

If -- draggable -- moivieClip_A is created, and then moivieCLip_B is created as a child of movieClip_A, (when movieClip_A is dragged onPress, movieClip_B simultaneously moves with it), is it possible to change a property of movieClip_B with a mouse event? Seems as though movieClip_A's layer position / mouse events are blocking mouse events for movieClip_B.

I understand the "." dot notation, but it just isn't working.I googled the crap out of it, but nothing really.Attached is just a simple example I'm trying to get to work. The file is CS4 format.

This is probably a very simple solution, but I can't seem to find it online. Basically, I have a button that need to change a movieclip's frame in it's parent.So I tried:
ActionScript Code:
_parent.slideshowImages.gotoAndStop(2);
But it's not working! I know I'm getting to the right locaiton because _parent holds a variable, and I can access that just fine. But I for some reason can't access the movieclip at all.
Note: I can't upgrade to AS3 (What I'm used to) as this isn't my file.

Im having a problem adding a child to a nested movieclip.the main movieclip is instanced when the user clicks on the create gallery button.the code then proceeds to create x movieclips(productFrames) with nested movieclips(imageFrame) with instance name:imageFrame1 & dynamic text frames(title & genus) & then add text to those frames & an image to one of the nested mcs
the problem seems to be with
productFrame.imageFrame1.addChild(imageLoader);
productFrame.genus.text="Loaded "+kbLoaded+" of "+kbTotal+" KB";

I am trying to design a menu system that pops up which I have just about managed. however nested in the menu movie clip are a number of other movie clips which I want to use as buttons but I am having problems getting the movie clips to load a swf once clicked. I tried putting a button in side the menu movie clip and it would not even recognize the mouse over which makes me think you can not nest buttons or movie clips in another movies clip?
Here is the code
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.Event;
menuMC.flowerB.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("test.swf", 1999);
