View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline Variable From Within A Class?
Dec 20, 2010I have a class, the relevant parts of which are defined as follows:
class myClass extends MovieClip {
public function myfunc() {
trace( "mainVar: " + _root.mainVar );
}
}
As you can see, I want to access the variable "mainVar", which exists in the main movie, from within the class. This works fine, if I have only one instance of the class. But, if I have more than one instance, within separate movie clips, the value of mainVar is always taken from the first instance. How do I refer to the actual instance from within the class?

Jun 2, 2011Here's my main class:

How can I access it? I know I can access a public var in the timeline with functioname.variable but I can't define a public var inside a function, right?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Events To Change A String Variable In The Main Timeline?
Jul 14, 2009I have a navigation bar movieclip that has the following EventListeners in symbol definition:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Menu Buttons - Changing Variable Loader On Main Timeline
Oct 22, 2008I am creating a very basic menu. My project consists of a main file that then calls other swf's to fill in the rest of the content. My main timeline is this. There is an preloader which hasn't been built yet, a intro section that is two movie clips (one loads the layout, one fades in my buttons). Then when all this loads, I load the first swf. My difficulty is that I am trying to get my buttons, which are held in mc_buttons, to change the variable myLoader on the main timeline. So when you click on a button, it swaps in a different swf for the current loaded one. I have tried calling the following code attached below.
My error is:
"1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer."
Now, if I define the myLoader variable in the mc_buttons and do an addchild() there, I get the correct content, it just is on top of the old content which isn't what I want...

Feb 11, 2010I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...
