Ive embeded my game.as file as a movie clip into a new .fla which has 1 frame for the game, 1 frame for the win screen, 1 frame for the loose screen and 1 frame for the intro screen.
So at the end of the game I do MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
where my frame is either the win screen or the loose screen frame.both screens have a playagain button that returns me to the game frame.Sometimes I get the error after the first win/loss sometimes I get it after I do play again and then when I win/loose.
the error is at:MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
Im not exactly sure why or how to fix it though any tips?
I want to tear my hair out and cry! I've just upgraded to CS4 and am trying to create a simple swf that consists of a root timeline with various frames, each labelled 'home', 'bio' & 'contact'. There are buttons on the stage with instance names and then on the first frame of my root timeline I have the following code (as well as the _root.stop() as actionscript on the labelled frames):
var aaa:Sound = new Sound (new URLRequest ("awd awd.mp3"));aaa.play ();trace (aaa.id3.artist);
The song plays but when I try to get the song's artist / album it returns null. I also tried copying the format from live adobe help website but it still returns null.
Also I have 3 songs named 1, 2, and 3 in a folder. I made a playlist type thing and it works fine, the only problem I see is that I would have to rename 30 songs.
i have a movieclip called hero, which on every frame has a movieclip called 'mc', which in every frame has a mc called 'sword'problem is, on the first frame after i change frame (like from the idle animation to attack) 'mc' traces null, so i cant access 'sword' either, which is a bit of a problem for the design of the game...the frame after i change tho, 'mc' and 'sword' can both be accessed fine.
Having to do some as2 with an ancient system, and am far from fresh on it. I've managed to bungle my way through most of it, but I've hit a strange logic problem.
I've been trying to implement a QuadTree to store a two-dimensional array representing a terrain. I generate the array first, then I use the below function to generate a QuadTree for the array.
I have just recently started playing around with AS3 and am pretty new to what is going on in Flash (though I do have a lot of programming experience.) I have an object that I am dragging around on the mouse. I want it to be destroyed if I drop it anywhere but in a target location. I have the part where it is destroyed working, but I am running into a problem trying to find the target. When I try the following...
PHP Code: public function DropObject(){ if (! this.hitTestObject(stage.getChildByName("Target"))){ stage.removeChild(droppedObject); stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,droppedObject.MouseCursorMove); }}
I get "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter hitTestObject must be non-null." So, "getChildByName" is returning null, but I'm not sure why. I've verified that there is an Instance name of the Target on the stage. Why can't I find it?
In the platform game I'm making, I have a movieclip level/stage with the platforms (which are there own class) added in. I'm trying to load those platforms into an array for future use, but as I keep on getting null. Take a look at the code:
package { public class StageLevel1Test extends StageManager { private var _platformListCntr:Number = 0;
I'm using the native Flash StyleSheet Object to hold externally loaded CSS styles, and when I run the the getStyle("myStyle") function of the StyleSheet Object, it returns an Object in all cases, even when the style doesn't exist!
In cases where no style is found on the StyleSheet, the ASDocs say that the getStyle() function should return null. So if "notAStyle" is not a style on the StyleSheet, and I test[code]...
I'm developing a Flex application using RobotLegs, LiveCycle DS & Java.I'm trying to implement an update function, using LCDS, but I'm running into some strange behaviour:This is the ActionScript code within a RobotLegs' execute command, used to perform the update:
var token:AsyncToken = services.requestService.commit(new Array(model.currentRequestDetail)); responder = new AsyncResponder(resultHandler, faultHandler, token);
I have some confusions on root and the stage classes; like;When should I use root or the stage class, from within my custom classes, in order to access the existing objects on the main timeline.When is this.root == null or not!How can I check numChildren on the main timeline.
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.
I have a movie clip on the stage and have given it the instance name "team1". inside this movie clip there are two states. at frame1 it says one thing, then at frame 10 has an image. team1 stops at frame 1 and what i want to do is when the main time line reaches say frame 50, i want the team1 movie clip to gotoAndStop at frame 10, thus showing the image and not the text. i tried doing it by putting this on the main timeline at frame 50: team1.gotoAndStop("team");
But I have ran into another snag. This is what I currently have: A MovieClip for the quiz. 10 more MovieClips one for each question. 2 buttons inside question (btnCheck and btnNext). 4 radio buttons to select then click btnCheck to check the answer. Then click btn Next to move to the next question. The functions inside the movie clips are setting the variables outside the question clips perfectly. What I want to do is to eliminate the btnCheck and have it check the answer when the radio button group is selected.
For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:
Is there a way to return the name of a movieclip which is being touched by the currently selected movieclip?I've got a variable called currentBall which is tracking a ball when placed inside a target zone (e.g. zone0_mc).How do I return the name of the target zone?
Is 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++){
How do you align a dynamic movie clip position with another movie clip which is in the root stage? I tried to get the mc in root x,y position, but the starting point of the class that loads the dynamic MC does not seems to be accurate. (Meaning at the root stage, the x,y is 0,0 but at the dynamic class, its somewhere like 100,20 for the browser area (and it actually vary base on the browser size))
**the other classes I used to run the custom classes below, I have it added this MC to stage
var blocker:stageBlocker=new stageBlocker(); this.stage.addChild(blocker);
Below is the dynamic MC. Should I not add it to its own "stage"?
public class stageBlocker extends MovieClip { private var blocker:MovieClip= new MovieClip(); public function stageBlocker():void {
I need to load a swf in other domain and call its functions and access its variables, using the allow domain i have accessed the variables and functions. now i need to control the movieclip (other domain swf) using gotoAndStop(). i tried lot using gotoAndStop frame number or lable name it is not working. but i can able to trace the currentframe of a movieclip.
I made a movie clip or movements and what not and put it on scene1 frame 1. And when the movie clip end I want it to go to scene1 frame2. I tried a few things I have: _root.gotoAndPlay(2); Right now it says 1120: Access of undefined property _root.
My question is that I have attached a movie clip using loadMovie() function.Now how do I perform functions on that movieClip such as gotoAndStop().In the sense how do I tell the movieclip to goto a frame?
I need to get my main swf A to tell the swf B (swfB is my scrollpane content or source) to gotoAndStop at frame 2 but it doesn't communicate.Here is my code on my main swfA:
Code: function xbutton (e:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop("p1");MovieClip(sp.content).gotoAndStop(2);} button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, xbutton);
Here is my code on frame 2 in swfB:
Code: stop(); SoundMixer.stopAll();
to better visualise what i am doing; swfA is my website with lots of pages, swfA has one page* that holds my scrollpane, inside my scrollpane is swfB with a flPlayback (*this page is the tv page). when I exit the tv page to another page on my website the tv must stop. swfB has my flPlayBack on frame 1, frame 2 is blank (no tv).
Ps: The code in swfB works fine independently! I know this because tested it by adding a button (when pressed it goes to frame 2 and the code does stop the tv).
