ActionScript 3.0 :: String To MovieClip - Clip Go To And Play The In Label?
Jul 8, 2009
I have a string variable that I'm using to keep track of something. After all is said and done I'm building a string that is the same name as a movie clip that's one the stage. However I cannot get it to work,this is how the clip in question has been added to the stage
middle_layer.addChild(restore_mc);restore_mc.name = "restore_mc";
variable page out is "restore_mc" **
// this is my code when I want that clip to go to and play the in label
var outClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
//outClip.name = getDefinitionByName(pageOut)();
outClip.gotoAndPlay("in");
this is an alternate route I've triedvar outClip = pageOut as MovieClip;outClip.gotoAndPlay("in");
I have a movie clip called "shell" in main time line(in Scene 1) inside the shell movie clip there is another two movie clips called "design" and "panel". Inside the design movie clip there is a button called "back". So I want to play the panel movie clip when click the back button.[code]
What is the actionscript if i want to go to a frame in a movie clip from another movieclip? And also for future reference, how do you go to a frame from a movieclip/button to a frame in the main scene? Is it something to do with root?
I am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?
I have a movie called book_mc that is on scene1 the movie has several labels (red, green, blue, and yellow) in it's timeline. Also, on scene1 I have a button called book_but. If book_mc is on the label green of it's timeline. I want the button press of book_but to make it goto and play yellow. If book_mc is not on the green label of it' timeline I want the button press of book_but to make the timeline goto and play red.
I have a mock up fla file showing what i am trying to attempt. I have a button nested in a movie clip on the second frame on main timeline called PageBackBtn. I am trying to get this button to target a label within a movieclip on the first frame of the main timeline. The label also is called PageBackBtn within the movieclip on frame one.
I have a Flash movie that uses three scenes. In scene one I have a button with some actionscript to take it to a frame label in that first scene and play the movie from that point on. It works fine. The problem is, in the third scene, I am trying the same action with a different button, going to a different frame label in that third scene. I am getting an error saying the frame label does not exist in that scene. Even though it does! I've checked for typos and everything looks fine. I've copied and pasted the simple actionscript from the third scene below. Is there a line I need to add to make this work in a scene that is not the first scene?
rocketstart_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rocketbutton); function rocketbutton(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay("rocket"); }
I'm looking for a piece of AS2 script that will open a different scene and play a label from inside a mc.So it should be something like...On release go to scene x and play x label from inside x mc.I can get to the scene via the button "on release gotoandplay scene 2 . Once in the scene I can get a button to gotoandplay themc.mc and the label.But what I really want to do is get the button on one page to go to the scene and play the label on the second scene.
I have a button on the main timeline. When clicking it, I would like to move the main timeline to a frame label called "history" and load and play a movie clip called "slideshow1".
I have the "gotoAndPlay" code working properly but can't seem to get the external swf "slideshow1" to load and play.[code]...
I have a bunch of frame labels, and randomly choose one for the animation to bounce to. When all of this is on the main timeline it works fine, but I had to move it into a movieclip and I'm having trouble targeting those labels, it'll tell me the scene isn't found. How do I reference a frame label within a clip? Syntax?
Current non-working code:
ActionScript Code: var frame:Number = randRange(); var strFrame:String = String("frame"+frame); gotoAndPlay(strFrame, "main");
I need to access a clip named holder_mc on the main timeline, and a frame label within holder_mc.
I have a mock up fla file showing what i am trying to attempt. I have a button nested in a movie clip on the second frame on main timeline called PageBackBtn. I am trying to get this button to target a label within a movieclip on the first frame of the main timeline. The label also is called PageBackBtn within the movieclip on frame one.
would like flash to trace something when the play head goes over a frame label named "test" I would also like to have the code placed on the first key frame. I realize that the easiest way out would be to place the trace statement on the frame with the label on it but I'm trying to run this with a listener.
PHP Code: stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame,false,0,true); function checkFrame(event:Event):void
I need to place a lot of buttons in the scene with different labels. I have created one button (not ui component). It is having custom look and feel. And I have placed many of the instances of this button in the scene.Now I need to add different labels two each button. These labels are not simply some texts, but movie clips.So how can I place these labels to each button? Placing an empty movie clip and calling attachMovie in action script failed..I am not sure how to achieve my requirement. If needed, I can give more explanation about the requirement.
I have a video in a frame that corresponds with the label "eight". i have a button on the timeline with the following code. i've tried it both gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay and it doesn't work.
I have three buttons: each one changes a variable to a name: one, two and three and plays the movie.when the movie gets to frame 100, it should get the variable and play the label with the same name of the button...How should be the AS of this frame so it plays to the correct label?
What is the code to make you jump to a "Label" in a parent movie clip, when clicking on a button.Lets say the buttons name is push_btn and I am in mc2 and the label is located in mc1.
I'm trying to goto a frame label from within one movie clip, into another movie clip.For example, the structure is like this:MovieClip called 'allButtons'inside this clip, there are three movie clips with buttons in them, called 'buttonOne, buttonTwo, buttonThree'.Now, say I'm inside the movieclip 'buttonOne', which is inside the 'allButtons' clip. I want to goto a frame label within 'buttonTwo' called 'buttontwo'. How do I do this
on (release) { buttonTwo.gotoAndPlay("buttontwo"); }
I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...

I want to do something like gotoAndPlay(frame label) for a movie clip with the instance name content. I am using an array for my buttons placing multiple instances of the button mc on the stage. When I add content.gotoAndPlay I get an access of undefined property error. If I add it inside the parenthesis I get an expecting identifier before my frame label name error.
I was writing a custom chart component where. To add labels, I create a spark label and add it on screen. Although all other labels rendered, I noticed that the zero label does not render at all. Here's my code:
var invisibleTextField:TextField = new TextField(); var zeroLabel:spark.components.Label = new spark.components.Label(); zeroLabel.text = "0"; zeroLabel.name = "0Label";
[code]....
After multiple attempts, I figure that the label discards "0" as an empty string. I managed to workaround using spaces before and after the zero. Only one space would also do, but I needed center aligning.
I want to link a button in my main timeline to a label- frame in a movie clip. The movie clip is called "Adetail" and the label is "on01"... I type in the following script
I have a MovieClip created, and the second Frame has a label ("tree0001" for any who care). I'm wondering how I can retrieve the name of this label by asking which frame in the movieclip is loaded (which would be frame #2) and then getting that Frame Label.
