ActionScript 3.0 :: Lost Properties With MC On Timeline?
Apr 8, 2009
Inside a main MC, I added 2 keyframes. On each, I added an empty movieClip with the SAME name "texture" and from the same lib instance. On the first, .y = 10 + dispatchEvent(new Event("ressourceReady",true)); + stop(); and on the second frame, .y = 100. Super !
Now in my AS file, I wait for the dispatched event to launch the init process. Ok, everything is fine, I receive the event and I can access to "texture". Inside my class, when I receive the event, I wrote : _texture = e.currentTarget.texture; It's ok, I can access to the MC properties, set a texture, everything is fine.
Now, the problem. I send the timeline on the 2nd frame. Remember that my "texture" is set to ".y = 100" ? No !!! It is at 10 !!! What the.. So I add a trace on the 2nd frame to check the .y property... damn it's really = 10. That MC is now unsync with the timeline !?
I've tried many tricks. The first one is to add an empty keyframe between the first and the second frame. (so i got a total of 3 frames). It seems to work well. The second idea is to rename "texture" by "texture2" only on the 2nd frame but it's not clean at all.

How does one edit a graphic then have the ability to choose in properties Colour Effect options like alpha or brightness or tint in properties ?
Bringing an .ai file into library then creating a MovieClip of it, I am able to alter colour alpha or brightness or tint etc in properties via Colour Effect option. Use break apart to delete a simple box from part of the artwork and the colour aspects just applied vanish, its back to its original aspect. Try grouping the artwork but still no options now. Same applies if I just place the graphic on stage or open the graphic from the Library.
Try it a different way, bring it in and break apart, then edit the artwork then group it to see if properties has colour effect option for it but still no joy. Try converting it to graphic after editing and giving it a new name, it vanishes, nothing visible even if I select that graphic in library.
It seems that the only way to apply Colour Effect in properties for a graphic or MovieClip is to NOT edit its contents when placed on stage. I cannot bring it in without needing to edit it as the program making the ai. adds a box that I dont need, border of the page in that program in fact.

set text property of textfields nested in clips on an animated timelines.
All assets are named from the first frame of the outer movieclip. Debugging this in Flash Builder, we can see that the textfield property is being set, but probably because of the multiple keyframes within the outer movieclip AND inner movieclip, there is some confusion occurring...
Testing various scenarios with nested animated movieclips, and nested NON-animated movieclips, the results are this:
It works in this scenario:
mcMainContainer(with animated timeline)>mcSubContainer(with no timeline)>myTextfield
But as soon as we have a nested animated timeline, like this:
mcMainContainer(with animated timeline)>mcSubContainer(with animated timeline)>myTextfield
...we lose the ability to assign dynamic text to the nested textfield.

I'm re-writing a movie so that elements of it are modular movieclips, so that should I wish to re-use them, I can simply copy onto the root time-line. What should I watch out for regarding my paths in the modular clips? should I always ensure they are relative or absolute? How example should I reference mouse properties (e.g. _root._xmouse) which which will always be properties of the main movie root timeline?

I was using CS3 and Flash 8 (macromedia).I am working on a file that was created in maybe flash cs3 or perhaps flash 8, from another developer.It shows tweens on the time line.The developer created fade tweens, with names like "Transform 1" etc.The fades are on symbols (the developer converted jpegs to a symbols)from 100 percent to 0 percent alpha.I can see the fade go from 100 to 0, but I am unable to see the "alpha" properties when I select the symbol or the tween in the timeline.The tween is displayed in the timeline as a line with an arrowhead at the keyframe when the visibility goes to zero.I do not seem to be able to see the properties for the tween, i.e. 100 in keyframe 1, to 0 in keyframe 20.No information shows in the CS4 "Motion Editor".
I created a tween in a layer that I added, and it seems that CS4 no longer show the lines with arrowheads, but uses a different color for the tween range.And I get the motion properties in the "Motion Editor".I am sure it is pilot error here.Since I just installed CS4, etc.How can I view tween properties, like alpha on a symbol created in an earlier version of Flash?

The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox

Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.

I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project. If you want to see the unfinished project, go to [URL]

I created a FLASH header for a website. My client wants me to remove a small line of text from it, but I no longer have the original .fla file. The text is over a simple gradient background, and I could probably just cover the text with a color rectangle.

I've got a dynamic textfield clip which is placed twice on the stage. It also includes a button. Funny thing is, the first trace works (tracing its _y value: 0 for clip 1 and 200 for duplicate clip 2). When I press the down button of both clips however it traces undefined though it's the same line. How does onPress mess up the targetting of both clips? [code]

I created an image in Photoshop that included a gradient layer fading from transparency to a foreground color (in this case, black). I saved this image as a PNG file and imported the file onto my Flash stage. The gradient appears on the image as expected when viewing the stage in the Flash editor, however, when I test the movie, the gradient no longer appears.

I am trying to edit a flash file that was done in MX. I only have CS5. When i open the file, save and export there is a slight problem. Once published and uploaded, a dynamic text box which is meant to load text from the CMS appears blank. Is there something which can be lost in translation when saving from MX to CS5?

My problem is that my old computer *exploded* last week and i was making a project for my dad so I lost my (.fla) file. But, I have an animation of that same project in (.swf) on my USB Key because I've exported it just before my computer crash just to watch what It was looking like. So my question is, is it possible to open my (.swf) in Flash Pro and get all my snippet code back and all my frame back and everything else (like if it was my (.fla) project?)

My primary movie clip is 1200 frames long and on the last frame I have a small action: gotoAndPlay(190) so that it will loop back to that spot upon reaching the end, It works very nicely. UNTIL, that is, I place the primary movie in a frame within a preloader. When placed in the preloader, the primary clip doesn't loop back to frame 190 anymore; the actionscript is lost.
I wanted a preloader so the area on the website dedicated to this flash file wouldn't appear blank as it loads. I found a tutorial online and followed it;

I have a MainClass on a FLA file that defines both public, private, statics or not, properties and methods.I also have a package named 'components' that stocks Sprite sub-classes for my movie exportable clips. In one of them, I use the "this.root" property to access my main class instance elements at runtime.When I access public method references, same thing, I can trace them and have a true reponse to the question : [myPublicMethod is Function] ? BUT, when I want to execute the public methods, like MainClass (this.root). myPublicMethod(), the compiler boldly throws this at me :Error 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method myPublicMethod through a reference with static type MainClass.

I have a website which has a swf as a horizontal menu. When the website is opened as[URL] the functionality of the swf does not work i.e. the links contained within the buttons aren't executed on click. However, if you enter the address as h[URL] the links work exactly as they should. I have contacted my host for clues but because I don't know exactly what I am asking for, the help offered is of a 'have your cleared your cookies' variety.

I'm working on an application that stores conferences with their start and end date. Up until now, I was developing in Belgium and my server is in France, so everything is in the same timezone, no problem. But today, I'm in San Francisco, my server is in France and I noticed I have a bug.I'm setting dates from a Flex client (ActionScript automatically adapts date display according to client local timezone, which is GMT-8 for me today. My server runs on Hibernate and MySQL in France (GMT+1). So when I look at my database using phpMyAdmin, I see a date set to "2010-06-07 00:00:01" but in my Flex client it displays "2010-06-06 15:00:01".
Ultimately, what I want is that the dates are displayed in the local timezone of the event, which is the date I set it to. So when I'm in Belgium and I set the start date of an event to be "2010-06-07 00:00:01" I want to retrieve it that way.But I'm lost as to what layer adapts what. Is timezone stored in DATETIME MySQL columns (I can't see it in MySQL)? Does Hibernate to anything to it when it transfers it to java.lang.Date that has Timezone information?

When the button is clicked inside flash control it causes redirection(or may be postback) to the same page but the values typed the user in textbox and checkbox are no longer available. They are lost! How can I handle this stuff? I am pulling my hair apart. I don't even the source code of that control

I've got some lines of code to scroll a content-movieclip inside a mask:
ActionScript Code:
ratio:Number = (content_mc.height-mask_mc.height)/mask_mc.height;
var deltaScroll:Number = (this.thumb.y-oldPos)*ratio;
content_mc.y -= deltaScroll;
oldPos = thumb.y;
Now is the problem that at the bottom some pixels are getting lost. The content-movieclip isn't placed high enough so that the bottom pixels are not inside the mask (and therefore invisible). I think this is because ratio got a lot of decimals, and they are getting cut off in deltaScroll.
