ActionScript 3.0 :: Main Timeline Cotrolled By Movieclip CurrentFrame?

Oct 29, 2009

I know that the functionality of the addChildToStage and deleteChildFromStage functions works fine because I have tested it here: [URL] the nav adds a new instance of "player" to the stage and the big red button deletes "player".

I want to start the movie with a mc_CopyBlank on stage and then have the nav issue play(); command to the movie clip held in "player" then have the current frame of that clip trigger the addChildToStage and DeleteChildFromStage functions that I've written here. The .fla is hosted here: [URL]why this doesn't work. Feel free to keep the .fla as it's basically a barebones four page site. (if it ever works)

stop();
mc_nav1.buttonMode = true;
mc_nav2.buttonMode = true;
mc_nav3.buttonMode = true;

Aug 19, 2009

Does anyone know a good way to acquire the currentFrame of a movieclip symbol placed on the main timeline? currently there is only 1 frame, but the movieclip has 50.

If i trace currentFrame, i only get 1. and tracing the child name doesnt work either.

I got it to work earlier but it crashed before i got to save and now i cant figure it out. Was something to do with making another movieclip symbol.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] : Getting GotoAndStop From Main Timeline To Movieclip Within Movieclip?

Nov 20, 2008

I have a main timeline with a button. I need the action for this button to gotoAndStop to a frame within a movieclip, within another movieclip. I have tried on the main timeline setting the actions of the button to:

on (release){
clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}

and tried:

on (release){
_root.clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}

lastly:

on (release){
_parent.clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}

If I double-click on the movie clip (clip1) and then double-click on the movie clip (clip2), I have several frames labeled "frame1", "frame2", etc.The button doesn't work.

Actionscript 3 :: Access A Movieclip On The Main Timeline From Within A Movieclip?

Mar 6, 2012

Working on an RPG type flash, and I have to be able to control a text-box from quite a few locations. The one that is causing me trouble is the inventory. I need to be able to access the textbox with an instance of "statusWindow" from within the inventory clip (instance name "inventory"), so when I mouse over an item within the movieclip it will change the status window on the stage.In this instance I want to mouse over inventory.invHealth from the main timeline to get the display.itemName and itemProps are strings containing information about the item.I tried the following but it gave me a "possibly undefined" error.

invHealth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, itemStats);
function itemStats(e:Event):void
{
root.statusWindow.text = itemName+"
"+itemProps;

Flash :: CurrentFrame Of Root Timeline From Inside Object?

Jun 15, 2011

Is it possible to pull the currentFrame of the root timeline from inside an object class? Normally a currentFrame call only checks the frame of the movieclip it's attached to within an object class, so how would you go about checking the frame of the entire project from within the object class file?

edit: Nevermind, I found what I was looking for. All you have to do is use MovieClip(root).currentFrame and it works just fine. Consider the question answered.

Professional :: Play Movieclip On Main Timeline ?

Jan 7, 2010

I've created a movie clip with an animation on it's own timeline 30 frames long. When I press 'Enter' while inside the movieclip the animation plays ok.On the main timeline, I have one layer 30 frames long with the movieclip symbol placed on frame one. If I press 'Enter' the main timeline play head moves to frame 30 but the movieclip animation does not play on the stage. If I press 'Ctrl + Enter' or publish to swf then the animation plays ok but I can't setup the stage how I want it without the animation playing on the stage. Do I need to just change a viewing setting (tick box in preferences) or is this related to AS3 or new CS4 inner workings?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Linking From One MovieClip To Another On Main Timeline

Dec 21, 2009

I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days now. Here is the structure on the timeline:
movie clip (portbtn)
inside port btn (button)
I need (button) inside (portbtn) to link to a keyframe inside of another movie clip on the main timeline called portPage.

Here is the code I have been trying to get to work and it seems like it would:
Select allusa.onPress = function() {
_root.portPage.gotoAndStop(1);
gotoAndStop ("closed")
};

Now this is what everyone else tries and it doesn't seem to work. Also I want to note that I have tried to trace the movie clip "portPage" and it says undefined which from what I have read means that the button is working but it is just not getting the right directory. I have no clue what other directory to put in there since this one seems to be the right one.

Control MovieClip Inside Button From Main Timeline

Aug 13, 2011

I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline Variables From Within A MovieClip

Jun 13, 2009

Let us say we have a movieclip "mc1" on the stage. We also have another movieclip "mc2" inside mc1. We have declared a variable, say, var number1:Number=5 on the first frame of the main timeline. Now we go inside mc1 and then inside mc2 and write some code on its first frame. Is there any way to use the variable number1 over here? Can properties of mc1 be altered using the code written here? In AS2, it could be done using the "_parent" command, but it doesn't seem to work in AS3. (when we use parent and try accessing a property, it says that it is possibly undefined)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip To Act Independently Of The Main Timeline FPS Change?

Jun 19, 2009

My question. How do I control a movie clips FPS independently of the main time line. I believe in the previous version of Flash this was not possible but I think it can be done with CS4 with AS3.
 
I have five images with motion add to them. One fades out while the next fades in. To get this to work slower then the main time line I would have to add a lot of frame for that movie clip to not run so fast. Which this will make the file size larger.
 
I need this movie clip to run at say 12 FPS instead of the 24 the main timeline is running at.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Buttons Referring To Main Timeline?

Sep 1, 2009

I've got what I think isn't a real tough one however I can't seem to get this working.
 
I have a MovieClip. This movie clip has 21 buttons. These 21 buttons should be forwarding the user to frames 60-81 on the maintime line.
 
The actionscript I've added is not providing any errors however it's working either as these buttons don't do anything unfortuanlty.
 
Below is a sample of the code i've placed within the MovieClip itself, as the buttons and the button names are contained in the movieClip.
 
AS3 Code Being Used

button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, button1Click);function button1Click(e:MouseEvent):void{    gotoAndStop(55)}
 
This code is listed for each button instance and to forward the user to a frame on the main timeline (NOT the timeline in the MovieClip itself).
 
Again, this code is contained in the MovieClip itself and not on the main timeline, as the buttons exist in the movieClip I.E. button1_btn to button21_btn
 
Lastly, to provide a visual idea of what i'm expereincing, please refer to screenshot embeeded in this message or the attachment (same thing).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button To Access MovieClip In Main Timeline?

Nov 2, 2009

as always, this seemed simple in AS2, but i am stumped with this simple command in AS3.
 
i have a main timeline [one scene] that has multiple movies, one after each other, in different frames.  i need the buttons that are placed in a layer below the movies to access various movies in the scene.  was really simple in AS2.

it appears that i can get my button to go to the frame, but the movie contained in the frame will not load and or play. [i have 2 frames dedicated to each movie, the second frame, in the actions layer has a stop command].  the following is the actionscript and the errors i am getting.
 
AS3:
food_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playfood);
function playfood(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("food");
}
