I want to find out the value of an index of an Array defined on the main timeline, from within a MC on the stage. In AS2.0 this would be as simple as trace(_root.mk_contArray[0]). In AS3.0, naturally something like trace(root.mk_contArray[0]) just doesn't work, nor any other variation I've tried. Is it something to do with addChild()? This instance is named, but I haven't used that method.
View 3 RepliesIt's an external AS file that I just converted from AS2 to AS3 and am getting this error -
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable root is not defined.

i've got this mc component i've created and reuse on some sites i've made. It's a real simple shoutbox that grabs info from a database using a php script.What i'd like to do is have this component refresh every 200 frames, which means, grab most current msgs and post them in the database.so for example, i have a movieclip called MC1. there's a function in MC1 that goes like: grabdata = function() {}; this basically calls the php scripts, loads the info, and so on.i wanna call this function from the root or even a parent MC.I have considered using prototypes or a class, but i dont think it's really necessary for something that seems basic enough.
View 1 RepliesI have a swf called anim1.swf acting as a preloder and loading anim2.swf. anim1.swf is attached to a document class called Racine.as. Once anim2.swf is loaded, how can I target the root of anim2.swf?
For example, anim2.swf contains 2 clips called clip1 and clip2. clip1 contains a child called clip1_1. How can I access clip2 from within clip1_1 by using an absolute way (I don't want to use the parent property)?
N.B : a way would be to have a document class attached to anim2.swf, but here there is none.
I have a movie clip embedded in a scroll pane on level 2 of a multi-.swf project. I am trying to target the root movie to load another .swf (a video player window) from buttons inside the embedded MC. the buttons work on the external .swf but not when loaded onto the main timeline.[code]

I have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have seen a few posts regarding: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined, but none solving this issue.I have just upgraded to CS4 from CS3. I compiled and run the projects built in CS3 and get this error on loads of MovieClip classes available in the Library.ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Movieclip_mc is not defined.Sounds like there is a difference in the compilers that is kicking this error up. I have tried creating a new central .fla document in CS4 and stil no good.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to modify a menu system that I like that I found on the web I thought this would be easy enough to modify and make each named menu item a hyperlink.The menu items are dynamically created depending on the number of items in an array.

public var menuLinks:Array = ["/about", "/portfolio", "/photos", "/blog", "/contact", "/guest_book"];

I'm still learning flash and actionscript 3 and i am having trouble with variable and object names. I need to be able to combine variable names together (in the same way as php can combine by doing var1.var2).
My swf contains 4 loaders (image1_loader, image2_loader etc..) which are a child of (image1_content, image2_content etc.....)
I then have 4 buttons which load an image into the loader and while doing so they define the currently active loader.
Finally i have 4 control buttons - scale up/down and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise which should only control the currently active loader (as set by the buttons above)[code]...

So my buttons as well as loading the image have the event listener:

image2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrentSelection);
(and so on..)
function setCurrentSelection(e:MouseEvent):void {

So within the rotateClockwise and rotateAntiClockwise functions i need to be able to recognise which is the currently active loader and have that number instead of the X - so if it is image1_loader - it needs to be image1_content, if 4 - image4_content... I had tried to do it as this but it doesn't like it being a string:
rotateAroundCenter((activeLoader+'_content'), 10, ptR);

I'm displaying a variable into a textbox, but sometimes it's value is unset (loading delay). I'm using loadVariables so the .onLoad won't work.. How can I check if a variable already has a value?
View 2 RepliesI am getting a runtime error in AS3 which describes that ComponentShim is not defined. Along with this error showing that skins for List, dropdown and so many other controls are also missing.
This error is showing when I am using native methods. The first error is Native method is not allowed in loaded code.
I m wondering for 2 days whats this error means, previouly my file was running perfect, one day i open and do some changes than compile it shows these errors in output panel :
1. variable button is not defined.
2. variable component shim is not defined.
3. variable loaderprov3 is not defined.
i cant find how to fix these,as the behavior of flash is ambigious now. one time i run the file it runs perfectly, second i just code simple if else statement and than run the file, it leads to the above mentioned errors i m totally stuck and cant find any ways to get rid of these junks, Also compiler error window says, "unknown error optimizing byte code".
Every step I take learning flash as3 reveals so many problems and most forum posts I read blame adobe and try to work around it.
I have a TFL dynamic text box and I just want to add a scroll bar to it, this is what I did:
-elderText is the instance name of the TFL text and it's value and existance changes eccording to users choises. -elderScrollBar is a scroll bar is a UIScrollBar component I added to library, and created an instance in stage. Both are removed from stage by code.
and this is the code:
addChild(elderText);addChild(elderScrollBar);
elderScrollBar.scrollTarget = elderText; // on this line the error occures
if I delete the last line there is no error and the scroll bar appears where it should but without functioning.

Is there any way at all I can define the file I need loaded in a variable and include the file that way? The only other way I can think around this issue is incredibly labour intensive and takes me places I really don't want to go (like dynamically writting script heavy AS files using PHP, no fun). PS. There seems to be an error in how this forum displays #include's

This is quite strange to me since the MouseCursor class is being used as static.
Mouse.cursor = MouseCursor.BUTTON;
This is what I am using the MouseCursor class as and hence it is static. We got this error posted by a customer and the customer has also attached a screenshot of the error.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable flash.ui::MouseCursor is not defined
I first assumed that this could be perhaps because he was running an older version of Flash Player ( older than v10 ). But his screenshot clearly shows that it is running version 10 of the flash player.
ive upgraded my publish settings from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and all of a sudden my scripts doesnt work. im getting the following error.

description_txt.text = raw_text;
