ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Accessing A Variable That Is In A Function Outside Of The Movieclip
Dec 8, 2010
I am trying to access the variable myParentVariable within the function myParentFunction() from the MovieClip's myMovieClip_mc function myMovieClipFunction().
I know that It works if I declare the variable myParentVariable outside of the myParentFunction() but I don't really want to do that
main timeline

myParentFunction();
function myParentFunction():void

I have a button in a movie that I want to set a global variable to a new value when clicked. I want it to access a parameter of a movie clip that this same button loads onto the movie for the new global variable value. I have the final line under this button's onrelease script with something like this:
globalvariable1 = movieclip.parameter;
Everything is on level 0 and I've tried prefixing everything with _root. but it didn't make a difference, the global variable still wasn't changed. I'm a newbie so don't laugh if this is a really dumb question!

I have created a new instance of a movieclip and named it in as3.
I want to put this in another movieclip. How does this effect the reference because everything seems fine while the dynamic movieclip is just dealing with the stage. As soon as I put it in a movieclip, I get:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com::Gallery/instancesOut()
Heres part of my code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++){ var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition();
addChild(transition); transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; transition.x = i * 100;
I can reference using the string name but if I put the addchild in a movieclip it errors
Transition_mc.addChild(varTransition);

I made a script that creates a MovieClip (two stationary Ovals, side by side) from the library and transports them from the left side of the stage to the right.The idea would be to make the RIGHT Oval decrease in size as the MovieClip is traveling while keeping the LEFT Oval the same size. (All of them being part of an Array)I thought to convert the right Oval to a MovieClip within the parent MovieClip, but I have not been able to access the ".width" and ".height" of the nested MovieClip.Not sure whether I'm on the right track or not.

How can I combine the following functions and still pass a different string to the buildUI(); function?
I have two functions that do the same thing only at the end they both call a function and pass a String value to the function. This string value is the only thing different.
Below is are my eventlisteners and functions as they are now:
female_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startFemale);
male_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMale);
//FUNCTIONS THAT DO THE SAME THING AND BOTH CALL buildUI BUT PASS A DIFFERENT STRING.

I'm trying to do build some kind of photogallery, with movieclip loaders, but instead of having only one movieclip to load each image, I want to have a lot of movieclips to each load one image (so it increases se loading speed), and I want it to slide, so I have one movieClip, named Main, which holds numerous movieClips (it's not a movieclip loader, but each movieclip inside Main movieclip will be a movieclip loader), I have two buttons, one to go further, and one to go back.
What I want to do is, basically, that once we click on one button, for example the next button, the code tells "go inside Main movieclip and display the next movie clip" (for instance if we're on the number 1, go to number 2) etc ... So I thought I could give the movieclips inside the main movieclip a generic name, like n and n+1 (or n-1) and create variables but I don't know the syntax and to be honest how I really have to do it (I know how to declare variables, functions, but it's useless because I don't know how to describe it so it's understandable by flash).

I'm trying to build a website but i'm experiencing some troublesI now have 1 movieclip "menu" on my stage wich contains my navigation bar (home, contact, gallery,...) and on the same stage i have a movieclip "middle" wich contains 3 frames 1 for home, contact etc... What i wan't to do now is write my code in the "menu" movieclip and access the 3 frames in my "middle" movieclip, so what i wrote in "menu" was this:
home_mc.buttonMode = true;contact_mc.buttonMode = true;gallery_mc.buttonMode = true;menu_mc.buttonMode = true;
home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeClick);

I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?

I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts

ActionScript Code:
function createMaskBox():void {
var maskBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
galleryContainer.addChild(maskBox);
}
creates maskBox under the function therefore not accessible form outside of this function from what i understand. Is there a way to create a var WITHIN a function which would exist as if defined outside of it, directly in code?

DocumentClass is a class that is also my document class for my fla (hence the name) and I have a movieclip on the stage with the instance name "player" which means that the player "belongs" to DocumentClass.
Without extending DocumentClass to CollisonDetection, how would I be able to access player from the CollisonDeteciton class?

The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;

trying to export a very large image from flash for days now and my latest approach has lead me to AS3. (I usually use AS2). AS2 was causing endless problems with the PHP server timing out (the raw pixel data was over 8MB) but I have the save function working thanks to this great class. The problem is, this function only works on local movieclips.
I have imported my whole AS2 project swf into an AS3 swf at runtime and now I need to find a way to send one of the AS2 movie clips as a parameter to Mark Knol's "save to jpeg" function from the class above. I've tried gSkinner's SWFbridge class but the flash LocalConnection method only seems to allow calls to a remote function, rather than call a local function on a remote movieclip.

My problem is that I created my buttons on the stage and then grouped them together as a movieclip called navSat.Then I set the Linkage for navSat to NavSat.I am doing all my coding through AS3 outside of this. This is my code:
Importing the NavSat MovieClip
Quote:
function loadNavSat():void {
var newNavSat:MovieClip = new NavSat();
addChild(newNavSat);

When I run the swf now, my navigation system comes in and all the buttons are working (up, down, over, off states are working) It still links to nothing yet. The problem is when I try to add functionality to those buttons. I have tried about 5 days worth of variations around this type of code but cannot 'communicate' with the buttons within the movieclip. This is my code for the 1st button - contactBtn (linkage: ContactBtn):

contactBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, contactDown);
function contactDown(event:MouseEvent):void
