I did this:
Code:
var mc_array:Array;
mc_array = new Array(3);
mc_array[0] = mc1;

I want to use arrays to shorten things, but I don't know how to get and set the properties of individual entries of the array (with a mouse click).
i have an array called movieList that's made up of nine movieclips ("one_mc" for example). when something happens in my timeline, i want to send each of the movieclips to their fifth frame. i tried the following code and it didn't work:

I have been doing really well figuring everything out up until now.[code]How it stands, what is this link pointing to? Can I make it target a specific frame in a specific movie clip?And if someone would be so kind and explain what this is saying in 3rd grader terms.
View 3 RepliesI've read that the best way to "comunicate" with dynamicly created movieclips is by pushing them into an array.
For example:
Code: Select allvar itemArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
var newItem:MyItem = new MyItem();

I got this rectangle_mc such that when I drag it to either the mask1_mc or mask2_mc, it will load movie_mc and plays it on the specific mask. But there's something wrong with my code.Here's the code:
Code: Select allimport flash.display.MovieClip;
var movie_mc:MovieClip = new movie();
rectangle_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragging);

this code retrieves my swf file ("home"), but can I send it to a specific frame (or label)?

I'm working on a small project right now, and it consists of three toggle buttons that control various displayed data. I'm trying to make another toggle button, that once selected, will set the three existing toggle buttons to their "on" state. I'm pulling my hair out trying to target these individually through a loop. I'm currently working in the "//Begin Turn All On" section.
Code:
//New Button Collection Embedded in Movie Clip mc"buttonCollection"
var myBtns:Array = [buttonCollection.button1,buttonCollection.button2,buttonCollection.button3]; //Put all your buttons here

What is the best way to target a specific frame from an exterally loaded swf?
View 3 RepliesI have a all flash site that has several FLV's that people can click on called Green Solutions, Home Control, Temperature Control. My client wants to know if its possible to put a hyperlink in a email to his clients that would directly link them to any one of those videos. I assume I need to pass a variable of some kind but I am at a lost of where to start with this thing.

View 3 RepliesI have two movie clips on the main stage: mcNav and mcContent1 (mcContent1 is located in the 2nd frame).
When I click btn1 which is a movie clip within mcNav, I want to go to the 2nd frame on the main stage where mcContent1 is located.
And then go to frame 10 within mcContent1 and stop.
Here's what I have:
btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoFrame(2).mcContent1.stop(frame 10);
any way to target a specific instance name based on what a variable is equal to? would be ALOT better than having to write the function 36+ times..
View 19 RepliesI want to load a movie loadMovie ("target", _root....) and so on. My question is can you target a specific scene in the load movie command?? I have a movie with a button that loads a new movie into level 0 so it replaces the first movie. Now in the new movie I have a button that unloads the new movie and loads the previous one. But it starts it off at the veru beginning of the movie. I want it to pick up where the first button click took place.
View 2 Repliesi basically have some images of logs (for a bridge) setup inside a movieclip called log_mc, inside log_mc each log has its own movieclip log1_mc, log2_mc and so on

I think this solution should be simple but I think I am missing something about using event.target.name.I have multiple (over 30) MovieClip images on stage with alpha of zero and I would like to have them fade in on MouseEvent.CLICK while removing the current image showing. While I can code it to work for a single image I want to use this.target.name to have more efficient code.

in a actionscript file, is there anyway to have different codes target different movieclips? For example, if i want one movieclip to tint to red and another to tint to blue, can I do that in the same actionscript file or do I need to do that in separate actionscript file?
View 3 RepliesI have a bunch of movie clips in my main timeline with at least 2 nested clips inside them, MyMc.nested1.nested2 etc. I have given the top most movie clips that sit on the main timeline instance names. In a document class I created a private variable typed as an array and placed all those MC names in that array. I then looped through the length of the array and assigned 2 event listeners to each instance. Example:
for (var i:uint = 0 ; i < _activities.length ; i++){ _activities[i].buttonMode = true; _activities[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp); _activities[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);}
in the event pickup() is were my trouble seems to come in.In the pickup function I have the following:
event.target.startDrag()
This seems to work, but only on the lowest nested Movie clip......nested2I can use event.target.parent.parent.startDrag() and that seems to work.... Except when I place another movieclip in the second layer of the of the MyMC , if that is accidently clicked, it will now drag the Stage.I attempted to use the event.target.mouseChildren = false but that only seems to work on the lowest nested object... nested2 as that seems to be the one I am clickingIs there something I am missing to say, click only the top level mc then ignore all nested mc?
I have been working with AS2 for a long time, but are a total newbie when it comes to AS3.On my stage I have placed an empty MC with instance name "holder".In my library I got a MC linked by the name "sektor".
"sektor" has several movieclips and buttons with instance name, e.g. "corner1", "corner2", "corner3"....
I have nested "sektor" inside "holder" by writing this code:
Code:
var newClip:sektor = new sektor();
newClip.name = "sektor1";
holder.addChild(newClip);
What I want to achieve is to control those movieclips inside "sektor" by turning dem on/off.I have tried to do this with this code:
Code:
holder.sektor1.corner1.visible = false;
but I keep on getting this error:
"TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."
I have figured out that by tracing holder, I know it�s excisting (Result: [object MovieClip]) but if I try to trace holder.sektor1, I got the result "undefined". So it seems like "sektor1" is not excisting. Why?
I have a script that loads images and text from an XML file into movieclips.The following code is what creates the movieclips that contain the elements:
Code:
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = _root.mc_conteudo.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb"+(1+i), _root.mc_conteudo.getNextHighestDepth());
var img_mc:MovieClip = thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img", 0);
I can't seem to find a way to target the thumb_mc or the img_mc so they have rollover effects and actions (they are created for each set in the xml file, so there are multiple mc's)mc_conteudo is the content mc that scrolls.The swf is here: http:[url].....
I've made a loop that is creating 9x movieClips that is loading external images and I have also added eventListeners to those movieClips to make it possible to change the movieclips image. My problem is that i can't access the target of the "first eventListener". Here is the code to browse for the new image, i want to access the movieclip of this function in a later eventListener, like this: event.CurrentTarget
Code:
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected);
function mUp(event:MouseEvent):void{
file.browse(new Array(new FileFilter( "Bild (JPG och JPEG)", "*.jpg;*.jpeg;")));
}
The second eventListener. This function is called when the new image is selected
Code:
function onFileSelected(event:Event):void{
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
file.load();
}
The third and last function, this function is called when the image is loaded and is ready to be used.
Code:
function loadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void{
file.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(event.target.data);
// Here is the problem!
event.target.addChild(loader)
}
If if put this code, it will target the second function's event.
Code:
event.target.addChild(loader);
I am searching for a code looking like this to replace the old image with the new one
Code:
event.target.target.addChild(loader);

So I've recently started working with ActionScript 2.0 at my internship. I am now working on a game, that already had all its graphic interface designed and I am doing all the programming. Basically what I have to do is get some movie clips (randomly) from a different scene and print them on another scene in a designated area (but also randomly). I am not sure the best way to explain my problem, so I made a sketch of how the scene should look. [URL] So basically I want to print the movie clips on the black space, as if they were the red squares. But the movie clips are stored in a different scene in the same project. So I want to know two things: how do I get the movie clips from the different scene? And how do I print those movie clips on the specific area?
View 1 RepliesI have a problem regarding flash, actionscript3 and movieclips.
I have 2 videos(inserted as movieclips, each one in different frames 100 and 102). I want to gotoAndPlay the one on frame 102, but the other in frame 100 always starts at the same time. How do I play just the specific movieclip of frame 102?
P.S. If I order to reproduce the movieclip on 100, it starts as it should.
Basically I'm making a demonstration of a puzzle for class.
Each MovieClip is a bit of the puzzle, and users can move forward a frame or back a frame using the keyboard using the on(keyPress) function.
When the puzzle is complete, I want text to appear (or another MovieClip, ideally) letting the user know they've completed it.
So I'd want the text to appear when the following conditions are fulfilled:
round_mc is at frame 53
square_mc is at frame 2
triangle_mc is at frame 19
rectangle_mc is at frame 80
Its easier explained if I just write down the code:
function loadMc(frame:Number){
aNum = "array"+frame;
array1 = ["mcname", "identifier", "200"];
[code].....
I'm building a flash website that needs to have fullscreen enabled for the entire site. Does anyone know how to make only specific movieclips scale up in size when entering full screen mode, like various background movieclips?

The nested mc is hitspot. Do I target it like this? Flash says no. But I don't know how else to.
I have an array with 3 objects and added a click event to them, when clicked the 3 objects move 200 pixels down, but i would like to become that the objects that werent pushed get an alpha of 0.5
