I have a movieclip (parent).inside that there are many buttons(movieclips). If click on any button the whole movieclip(parent) should rotate and stop at a point. For each button inside parent movieclip there is textbox. While the parent is rotating the text is also rotating, I don't want that effect. I even converted the textbox to movieclip and tried to make that movieclips rotation=0 but not working.

I've got all of my ActionScript 3 in a document class file. I want to stop a child movieclip when the animation has finished.
How do I add a listener for that and trigger some code on the last frame of the child MC?

mHook -> mBottom -> hItemButton -> itemButton[a] -> itemButtonExp[a]
so i press another butoon, and retrieve a number 2, how do i access itemButton[2].itemButtonExp[2]? Coz i need to change the text field in there?
in AS2 i can access it directly by changing itemButtonExp[a].text, but how do i do it in AS3?
I built a custom designed checkBox. The movieclip is in the libary and dragged onto the timeline of my .swf. I'm using CS4 & AS3. I'm using procedural AS3 instead of OO AS3.The checkbox movieclip has a child movieclip inside of it so I can apply a drop shadow filter to some of the graphics .When I put an eventlistener on the custom checkbox it works fine but when I try to reference the checkbox movieclip inside the eventlistener function, the event.target.name is referring to the child movieclip (just a graphic with a drop shadow filter).From my reading it looks like the function propogates down to the child movieclip but I don't want it to do that.How do I reference the parent movieclip? or
B. stop the eventlistener from propogating down to the child movieclip?
I tried using stopPropagation(); but it didn't stop the function event.target.name from trickling down to the child movieclip.Here's what AS3 looks like.The trace statement displays "step3_mc.cbEmail_mc.instance25"instead of what I need "step3_mc.cbEmail_mc"
step3_mc.cbEmail_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fnc_cbClick);step3_mc.cbAgree_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fnc_cbClick);

I've done a website with different pages using the Loader component. On one page I have a movieclip that has different images (like a slideshow) that fade between each other. I'm trying to add an action to make the movieclip pause for a few seconds between each fade. So I've added this action between each fade (in a layer, above the graphics layers, that only holds actionscript):

I have created event listeners for a particular movieclip.Insidet this movieclip there is so many objects.When ever I click on the parent movieclip the event listener calls the function for the child object. I had tried removeEventLIstener()

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var info:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
info.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0.35);

I am trying to stop the playhead from within a movie clip and when I test the scene (the movieclip) it works but when I test the main timeline scene, it stops the frame within the movie clip but continues on the main timeline. On the frames that stop I am using a script that will allow it to continue when the space bar is pressed. How can I stop it on the main timeline, and within the movie clip at the same time?Is their a way to do something like _root.stop(); or something?
View 3 Repliesin my last flash website i built, i created a gallery, my way of creating pages in flash are to have a movieclip as a page, so to make it easier to switch between the paged (page switching functionality is purely done in AS3). the gallery was a problem however, i needed the pictures to appear as popups, however to add the child from inside the movieclip, any masks i use would prevent the popup from leaving the immediate area of the page. so to get around this problem i basically used: MovieClip(root).addChild()
in my opinion this was a mistake, because it created other problems. the problem was that the popups are still connected to the page, even though they are outside of it, which meant that using removeChild() to switch from the gallery, meant that any popup that were still active, 'DIDNT' dissapear, and worse than that, because the page was removed, the popups lost any AS connected to them, which meant the couldnt be removed at all.

I have a movieclip that contains a second movie clip. This inner movie clip is being animated so that it's transparency gradually fades in. If you go into this inner clip, in addition to all the objects that make it up, there's a layer of text. I want to be able to place multiple instances of the parent clip on the main timeline so that each of them are identical except for the text that exists in the child movie clip, ie. I want to be able to customise this inner text.Is this possible to do? I mean if I place a number of instance on the root timeline and change the text of each of these instances, will they remain unique
View 3 Repliesi have a parent movieclip mcA and i want to add another movieclip mcB (child movieclip) inside mcA such that the extra part of mcB is hidden. The size of movieclip remains same as of mcA
For ex:-
mcA = 300x300
mcB = 400x400
then only 300x300 of mcB movieclip is visible and rest of the part is hidden.
How can I get the X, Y, and rotation values, relative to the stage of a child of unknown number of parents?What I am doing is: I have a 'stick' object, that creates a child 'stick', that creates a child 'stick', etc a random number of times.The end stick then creates a leaf. Each new stick rotates a little bit randomly.As a result when my leaf falls off the final stick it flies off in a strange direction.How can I get the leaf to fall down (eg y++ relative to stage)?Alternatively I thought I could dispatch an event that has a leaf created at the stage level but then I really need to know what the X and Y co-ordinates of my final stick is realtive to the stage.

Seen from above, my character movieclip moves horizontally and vertically. In starting position the characters nose is facing the top of the screen so when left key is pressed it should rotate 90 degrees to the left and face left + continue the movement facing left.
Because I use a movement function + the rotation it now kind off loops the 90 degree rotation and swirls around in circles to the left. I understand why this is happening, but my question to you is;
How can I make it rotate the degree angle only once, and continue the movement facing that direction?
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var speed:Number = 4;
var charRadius:Number = 10;

I have an MC which is rotating constantly controlled by an onEnterFrame action. Every frame, the MC rotates by the value of outerspinerate.

I noticed in the trace that the rotation values in flash are translated into the range of -180 to +180. I want the MC rotation to slow to a stop at zero _rotation value when certain events become true (it's for a preloader). I want this to happen gradually over at least half a rotation, so i'm using something like

how work with resizing the width of of a movie clip according to the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.
I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;
On doing this I found the clickable area change according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all in the swf.
I am working on flash & AS file, in flash file (main.fla) dynamic text is inside that movieClip (myButton) .I will like to send some text to that particular dynamic text field inside the movieClip (myButton) from AS file as file code is var myButton:Button; var myText:text; myButton.myText.text="Custom Msg";

I have a dynamic text box inside a movieclip that is generating load percentage eg: 40% etc. I have two Scenes, the first scene preloads the entire movie (this works fine, has the numbers plus percentage).
The second scene runs a movieclip preloader (while reusing the same dynamic text box in the same movieclip) - For some reason the % is not showing up after the numbers, I know its working because when I trace what the text is in the dynamic textbox during the script it shows the % sign after the numbers in the output window.This also occurs with all the other punctuation glyphs I try, not just the % sign...
I have a textField inside a mc. When you roll over an event is triggered. In the fuction I can do this:
Code:
event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).text="fred";
And the text changes - so its being targeted. I want to change the format of the text so I thought.
Code:
event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).defaultTextFormat=mTitle_fmt;
But, its doesn't work.
It says "ReferenceError: Error #1037: Cannot assign to a method setTextFormat on flash.text.TextField. at index001_fla::MainTimeline/overHandler()"
how I would normally generate a dynamic text field,
Code:
this.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....
I would like to target the text field so it is generated inside a movieclip for example something like,
Code:
_root.Mymovieclip.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....
I am trying to enter a student name into a textfield (student1_txt). I just can't seem to work out the correct syntax. The student numbers and names are in an array. I have the fields working fine outside of the movie clip but not inside.
I wonder if anyone can see what is wrong in the statement below:
_root.desk1_mc["student"+heidedata[0]+"_txt"].text = myStudents[0];
I am making a profile sort of thing, basically what happens is: You start the program... it loops, and generates 500 text fields, it stores them in an array called profile_name[]; it names them "Profile + (i+1) (i being the var used in the loop). Changes the colour to yellow, changes the size to 13. Removes the border from it and makes it unselectable (the text). It then converts the text into a movie clip (as if you made a dynamic text area, on the stage, and clicked it, and pressed f8, and converted to mc). It stores that in an array called profile_mcs[]. I need a way to access the text inside the movie clip in both they're arrays...
Example
If you go to your flash stage, make some dynamic text, call it "ptxt1", you make it unselectable, remove any border if it has one...
you name the text "test",
you select it, press f8, then convert to a movie clip called "test_text"
you name it "pbtn1" (the instance name I mean, when I say name)
If you go to the first frame of your main timeline and press f9 (action script section)
type
pbtn1.test.text = "NEW TEXT", it will name the text "test" inside the mc "pbtn1" to NEW TEXT...
However, if you store them into an array (both text and mc) you can no longer reference them like this:
MyMC_Array[0].MYText_Array[0].text = "NEW TEXT",
It doesn't show up, and making 500 if statements is to much (I think my problem may be when I traced my dynamic text inside the movie clip (that I've made on the stage) it appears as undefined.
Code:
var profile_name:Array (my text var) = [ptxt1, ptxt2, ptxt3, etc..];
I've tried doing
Code:
var profile_name:Array = [pbtn1.ptxt1, pbtn2.ptxt2]; etc..
None works,
