I've got a MovieClip contaning a few children.When I mouse_over on it I see that the current target is the children where I got on and not the parent movieclip.How do I get the parent movieclip as currentTarget while mouse_overing?
View 3 RepliesHeres what happening,
Create Parent, Parent Creates Text above itself, (Like a name or status)
Is there a way to ignore children from the mouse over event? So that when i hover my mouse over the parent's children, the event isn't called.
I have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.motion.Color;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I want to have a rollover effect of a movieclip (mo1) inside a movieclip (mo) of another movieclip (popup1).Is it possible to do that? I try calling it using this code in the frame 1 of my flash, am i doing wrongly?
Code:
popup1.mo.mo1.onRollOver = function() {
popup1.mo.mo1.gotoAndStop(2);

I am making a banner which displays jobs and moves upwards on the screen continuously.and every job ad is a button that navigates to the jobadvertisment.The buttons are inside a movieclip that contains all the buttons.I would like to pause this movieclip that is constantly moving upwards on mouseover.but how do I call the parent movieclip to pause on mouseover that resides inside the movieclip?

Is it possible to resize a movieclip without stretching the contents of the movieclip??? I'm having the most frustrating time trying to do this.
View 5 RepliesHow would I make it so that when you mouseover on a movie clip it plays? The effect I am going for is that of [URL] where the menu is on the right. Is that how I would approach doing that?

View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a solution to scale (gradually scaling) the movieclip on mouseover and return to previous state on mouseout. Any movieclip prototypes available for that
View 2 Repliesappears to be a problem with masking text. Trying to embed it now. So, I have a button that I want to display a label movieclip on mouseover, yeah? -and the clip contains a blank dynamic textField with an instance name of "label_text". So, I have one of these clips as a private variable in the button's class definition, and the constructor passes the button's instance name to the label's constructor to set the text field.Unfortunately, the text will only show if I actually open up the label's clip in the library and type something in. Not very dynamic!

I want to have an event with a movieclip like with a button...
"on (mouseOver) {
whatever };"
how can i detect the mouse over the movie clip without it being a button?
I have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?

View 3 RepliesI'm dynamically creating a navigational menu using a movieclip I've created that contains a textField. I want to change the text color of the TextField in the movieclip when a mouseover is performed. (The movieclip is in the library.)I've added "menuItem.menuText.textColor = 0x333333;" to the mouseover event, and that works, but only on the textField of the last movieclip placed on the stage.I somewhat understand why that's happening, I just don't know how to fix it (I'm still new to AS3).[code]
View 2 RepliesI've never used Flash for anything more than simple animations, I know nothing about actionscript. But I a sequence of images that I've loaded into a movie clip in flash, I need it to play when you mouseover it, stop when you roll off of it.
View 8 RepliesAttaching swf and fla for your reference.I am developing a animation with 4 MovieClips... on mouseover of movieclip it will grow and adjacent movieclips will move and shrink...I am able to develop the code...BUT....
1. On quick mouseover/mouseout event I am not able to stop the growing & shrinking of other movieclips.
2. Also I want attach a movieclip such that when I'll click on ONE .. a maximised Movieclip will open.
When I mouse over a movieclip, I want its alpha level to change. Here's what I have:
ActionScript Code:
object.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverObject);
object.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutObject);
function mouseOverObject(e:MouseEvent){
if(!inventoryOpen){ e.currentTarget.alpha = 100; }
} function mouseOutObject(e:MouseEvent){
if(!inventoryOpen){ e.currentTarget.alpha = 50; }
}
It does work, but the mouseover only registers when the cursor is over certain areas of the movieclip.
I created a movieclip that follows the mouse up and down with easing, using this code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_y = 400;
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endY = _root._ymouse;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
What happens is that when I load the page the movieclip goes to where the mouse is right away, before I even put the mouse over the frame. How do I get the movieclip to stay at the bottom of the frame until I move the mouse over it?
ive been trying to get a mouseover working but im having some trouble.
I need it so when i mouseover a movieclip text appears in a textfield at the bottom of the stage.
also when i click the mc the text stays there as im dragging it into the correct location.
I am creating Drag and drop flash application. While dragging an instance of a movieclip I want also the dropable region to show effect like MouseOver case. So that end user can confirm that they are dropping the item in right region. Here the mouse is moved while it is kept clicked .
View 8 RepliesI have an movieClip Container and I want to move all its children into an Array.i think about the method I used to delete all children of a container by using while and removechild at 0, but I think it wont work in this situation.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way that I can obtain the name of a clip's children just like I can obtain the name of it's parent by using _parent?
Basically, I have a whole bunch of MovieClips that I have created through a function that parses an XML file. Basically, it's a custom-made Tree.
I have them all set up in their proper horizontal and vertical positions, but the one thing I'm having trouble doing is closing a branch on it. I've tried storing values in arrays to help me sort all the MovieClips on the Stage, but I must confess that I'm not good with arrays at all, so is there some sort of obscure function somewhere that can return the child clips, so I can do something like:
Code:
myMC.onRelease = function():Void {
if (myMC.hasChildMovies() == true)
for (var i:Number = 0; i < myMC.childMoviesArray.length; i++){

Pausing, stopping and playing movieClip (MC) children. I am making SWFs that an interface will load and control (pause, re-start, stop, etc.). Then the interface is paused, the main MC will pause but not it's child MCs. I didn't write the interface, I am just supplying SWFs that are loading into the interface. The developer of the interface willn't allow me to use animated MCs in my SWFs since he can't control them with the interface. So all my animation need to be on the main time line, which is no optimal to say the lease.Can I provide him with some code to allow him to stop the child MCs or is there an Event Listener I could include in the child MCs that would pause, stop, restart, etc when the main MC changes?I currently do not have a fix at this time and since all my animations are on the main timeline, is there a way to select multiple objects (on difference layers) and move and resize them across multiple keyframes?
View 1 RepliesI have a MovieClip that I dynamically add other MCs as children to. Now I'd like to have a function that removes ALL children at once. I tried a loop with (i < mc.numChildren) but somehow it will only remove even-numbered children, the odd ones stay on stage?
View 12 RepliesI use swapChildren(mc_1,mc_2) to switch depth between 2 movieclips from the root level. Everything work just fine....
but when I create a container_mc and place the two movieclips into it then the 1120: nullobject reference error occurs?? container_mc.swapChildren(mc_1,mc_2);
I've few movieclip from library that will add to stage, inside of the movieclip have some mc that I want to control it, here is my script.
if (selectDiffText.text == "Collection 1 Easy")
{
var c1_easy:cartoonEasy = new cartoonEasy();
[Code]......
let say if c1_medium is added to stage, c1_medium will also randomly added 1 of the movieclip from library on it.
inside of the playGame mc, I've mouseTarget.alpha = 0;...how can I control it from root level? c1_easy also have the mouseTarget.alpha=0 too.
How can I reliably iterate through a MovieClip for every child?
I'm working on a game and a great way to lay out my levels is inside a MovieClip, with each frame being a new level. The problem is that when I move on to frame 2 or 3 and try to iterate through the MovieClip's children, I'm getting a different number (less) than is actually on that frame.
I think it's because the instances from the previous frame are being carried over to the new frame.
A simple solution is to create a new MovieClip for every level instead of a new frame inside each MovieClip, but this isn't the most scalable solution (say I want to remove a level or add a level between other levels, etc).
I am having a container mc with 5 children mcs. children names mc0,mc1....mc4.
cont.getChildByName("mc"+Number(cont.numChildren-1)).x =

after this re-position process.. I want to set the last item position as 0 and so on. How can I do this?My target is to attain a circular movement.like

I have 2 movieclips on stage; one called 'myMarker_mc', the other called 'myMarker_mcOne') - they both contain 4 children (bt_up, bt_dn, bt_remove ) and myText (a textfield) and they only work properly when it is the 'myMarker_mc' that is being called (called from the xml at the top of the file).
Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
[code]...
When myMarker_mcOne is called the dynamic textfield, called 'myText' produces a blank and the output box pops up with...
