ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Variable In A Path To A MovieClip?
Apr 20, 2010using a variable in a path to a MovieClip.
I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want it to open and the previous one to close.
I'm storing the previous tab as a variable (_previousTab) but am having trouble adding the variable to the path to the MovieClip of the previous tab. The error Flash gives me is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at MenuRun/menuOpen()

If I replace mainframe[_previousTab] with the name of the MovieClip it works fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the variable being a String perhaps?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Insert Variable Value Into A Path?
Nov 4, 2009The bold below is what I would like to work, however it does not. It might not be able to happen like this at all.
basically on mouse down I take the event.target.name and perform a string manipulation to get the number out of the target and add some string to front and end to get the name of the movieclip I would like to effect. Is it possible to insert the value of dotName into the path?
eventName = event.target.name;
stringManip1 = eventName.substring(13, eventName.indexOf("_")); //get the Number before the _
dotName = "dot" + stringManip1 +"_mc"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Alternatives To _global Variable Path?
Jun 8, 2009through out a very old complicated fla there are buttons which set variables using _global paths
such as:
function menu1_2(Event:MouseEvent) {
global.mode = "hide_hotbox";
MovieClip(this).gotoAndStop("stage_1_b");
}
How can I make the variable "hide_hotbox" and others like it accessible and changeable from any movie clip -- whether they be nested in other movie clips or on the main timeline, etc?

imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
I get the error:

loadMovie( fullpath , 1);
it fails ???

Jun 23, 2009One movie, named Gallery_1, with hotpots via which external swfs are loaded into a container mc of the main timeline of the Gallery_1 movie,
Via another button function the Gallery_1.swf is loaded into a container mc on the timeline of the main swf, which works alright as well, but when one then clicks the hotspots of the Gallery_1.swf one gets following error message:

The traces in the eventHandler function work alright.I wildly imported all relevant classes I could think of, e.g. the GallerySite class to the WebSite class and vice versa, and tried various variable definitions, but am at a loss by now as to where to define the GallerySite variable.
