I'm having trouble figuring out how to target a series of movie clips i'm attaching to my movie.I'm loading some xml for a slideshow and i'm generating a series of dots at the bottom of the screen to indicate how many steps are in the slideshow and the circle is meant to highlight your current position as you step through the presentation.the MC for the dots is two keyframes with a different color and a stop action on each frame. Here's the rundown of the code:
1. There's nothing weird here, i'm just bringing the xml in [code]
2. Here is the loadXML function i reference in the xml.Data.onLoad above:[code]Okay so now i have some dots with the instance names, step0, step1 etc. right? And at the end of my loadXML function you see the firstImage(); function. This is where my problem is, how do i target the first (step0) instance? I have no problem when I write "step0.gotoAndStop(2);" but I need to figure out how to use a variable to keep moving it along when i make my next and last functions for the slideshow.
3. Here is the firstImage function:[code]how do i target the step the same way i target the image? do i have to go back and do something in the loadXML for loop?[code]
I want to target ALL the 20 clips attached as below, at the same time, when I press the button "blue". However, my code can target only ONE of the clips at any time. I have tried attaching the clips to a separate dynamic clip and then targeting it but problems with the registration point (0,0) of that clip means I cannot achieve the result I want:
Code: for(i=0;i<20;i++){ mc = this.attachMovie("red","red2"+i,i); var scaleFactor:Number = Math.random() * 80 + 20; mc._x = Math.random()*500; mc._y = Math.random()*400; mc._xscale = scaleFactor; mc._yscale = scaleFactor; blue.onRelease = function(){ new Tween(mc,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,mc._xscale,200,3,true); new Tween(mc,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,mc._yscale,200,3,true); }}
My flash file creates multiple slideshow instances. These slideshow's are each controlled by some buttons and AS code that reside within the attached container clip. The code for buttons and slideshow nav is as follows (this resides on first frame of attached movie, not on _root):
[Code]...
The problem is that instead of just controlling the slideshow for which you are viewing, the keys control all other slideshows as well at the same time. Where the buttons, when you click them, control only the slideshow that they are contained in. I've tried writing an absolute path to the specific slideshow movie in question like:
i have a problem adressing or targetting a attached mc when i target de mc directly it works fine but when i try it trough a variable it doesnt recognise its path anymore??? hopefully a part of the code is gonna explain the situation a litle better... this piece works fine:

I know this is simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. I am adding a series words to the stage and want each one to move with an ENTER_FRAME listener. The way I have it now only targets the last one added. How do i have it apply to each child when it's added?
I'm developing a site in AS3 and want to set up each section as a seperate SWF file. I have one main movie and a movieclip on it which I want to load my section swfs into. I want to be able to load in the target swf and add its library items to the stage - but I can't seem to do it The problem I'm encountering is that if I load a swf into a movieclip on my main movie (via addChild), I cannot access that loaded swfs library
Attached mcs from library are totally different sizes.I'm attaching them for my gane but they are totally different sizes. If I scale them that doesn't help because then the big ones become too small.If I fix their size and width some look ridiculous.Is there anything I can do?
If I just place the attached movie on the stage the buttons work but I when I proceed to use attachMovie, they do not work. How do I get the buttons in the attached movie to address the movie that is already on the stage?
I've created a simple class that defines a scrollbar to scroll content. I've applied this class (ScrollBox.as) to a movieclip in the library as the Base Class.
Now, I'd like to add this movieclip to the stage with AS3. So for the Linkage, I've given the movieclip a class name of 'AboutBox'. This is the code I've written to add it to the display list[code]...
Can any answer the following questions and maybe point me to a "for dummies" tutorial on 'Classes'. I have the books but they have seemed to disappoint me. Unfortunately I can never ask "why" when reading a book.
1) Does a Class file need to be attached to a library symbol?
2) How do you know what to import?I know this sounds funny but should you always import flash.display.MovieClip? I just want to create a line using a class to begin with and call it from a flash swf with two parameters (start and end).Wouldn't it only need to be a import flash.display.Graphics
3) What is "Base class is final."? Anybody had this error before?[code]
How do I make a preloader if I have only attached movieclips from the library, I know how to make a preloader but not for attached movieclips. The movieclips are attached from level 0 to 12, and I want one preloader to preload all levels at once, how do I do that? Tried with a for loop to loop through all levels but it didn't work.

I am having problems accessing a button after I have attached it to the stage from the library... My code is as such:
[Code]...
On the rollover - the movie recognises nothing as executable. OK >> Yes - I have linked in the properties, an identifier for AS Export .. for the original map_functions, inside it is an MC called close_mc - This MC is linked for AS Export as close_mc Why is this not working? PS. the function calls are from Lacos Tween engine.
I have the following as code in a separate file placed in the root folder of the swf file. The as file is the class for a MovieClip in the library.When i manually place the library symbol on the stage, the MC works fine and draws the square with the nodes. However, when I try to create a copy using ' new sqMC();' code, I get an error.
We're having a problem in a particular Flash file. The file has about 6 large PNGs and some symbols. At some point, the library becomes unresponsive when we try to drag an element from the library onto the stage, or into a folder in the library.[code]...
I've been quite frustrated over a very simple flash program I have, where I try to use code to add an item from the library to the stage. I've attached the .fla file. The errors I'm getting are: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: playerShip. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method playerShip.
I'm trying to place these external library elements in full screen mode.[code]But I don't know how to make them listen to a stage listener to scale and position relative to the stage size or resize.
I understand how to preload a loading SWF, and I understand how to preload from one frame then go to the next, so please don't post about doing those.My question is can you preload a symbol from the library and keep all code and content in one frame? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find any tutorials to do this.
I am trying to write an AS3 flash app I made in AS2, and I can't figure out how to add an MC from the library onto the stage. In AS3 I would just give the MC a random class name and then use:[code]but in AS2 this throws the error: the class or interface 'class' could not be loaded.
I'm trying to do singleton movieclip from library, but can't get it work, how should I proceed?[code]1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 1.And it is refering to the MyMovieClip.as file, to the line where I have "_myMovie = new MyMovie();".
