ActionScript 3.0 :: Values Of Holder And Child Alpha?
Dec 16, 2009
If my holder's alpha equals 0 can its child's alpha be effectively > 0 ? In my case I have holders (custom clases) with many children, some of which are holders them selves (with their own children and holders and so on).
I would like to:
-pick out a single holder from the 'tree'
-have all of the 1st level children of that are NOT holders themselves have an alpha of 1.

I have a player that loads both images and videos. I am having a problem removing the previous child from the holder and am close to using tricks to fix it. I'd rather not. Here's the code that loads the image:
Code:
var _mediaLoader:Loader = new Loader();
_mediaLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
_mediaLoader.load(new URLRequest("blah.jpg");
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void{
videoConsole.imgHolder_mc.addChild(_mediaLoader);
}
And my flv loader is a bunch of mumbo jumbo with this code at the end:
Code:
videoConsole.imgHolder_mc.addChild(flvPlayer);
So, how can I remove the previous child, if there is one, when loading the next item on the playlist?

im loading photos of different aspect ratios with a loader onto a child holder frame_mc. I wanted to know what AS3 commands do i need to work on to get the frame_mc to resize to the new childs dimensions and centerize itself on the main stage? (as in event listeners, functions, vars etc)

i have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:
code:
package Mushroom{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

I am a bit of a noob, and I'm having a problem. I had posted about this before but I think I was explaining what I need to do in way to much of a complicated manner so I'm going to try and simplify this a bit. I have 5 swf's.
- main.swf (parent)
- child01.swf
- child02.swf

I'm having a strange problem in computing alpha values because the results of computations differ from the results obtained making the same computations using a normal variable of "Number" type.I compute this way (incrementing alpha property and another Numer variable by 0.01 starting from 0):
var delta:Number = 0.01;
var myNumber:Number = 0;
myLoader.alpha = 0;

I need to make the buttons that are associated with this code, toggle, so once you press them they become greyed out. So I was thinking of after you press a button, the alpha is reduced to 40%. Can someone help me place that piece of code into this monster? -I know it should go into the presto function of my script. Which works fine, but then it stays at 40%alpha after the user click on a different button. I need it to toggle off once someone clicks on the next button. [code]

Is there a way in AS2 to stop a child movie clip taking on the parents alpha value? I want the parent movie clip's alpha to change on rollover but not the movieclip I am attaching from library via linkage.
Is there a command out there that stops this parent/child inheritance?

I have 10 movie clips on the stage all of them are on the same layer and the alpha property at 0.5.
I want a single movie clip to randomly move to the top of the other at timed intervals. This movie clip alpha property will change to 1 while the other movie clip will remain at 0.5

I have a large-ish array of points.
The graphics object I am using has it's alpha value set to 0.1.
When these points are plotted iteratively, and the line being drawn overlaps another line drawn earlier, there is no visible change in the colour at the intersection.
If I draw the line differently, not using an array of points, the alpha is not ignored.
ActionScript Code:
public function render(e:Event):void
{
if (segmentsCollection.length > 0)
[Code].....
This all occurs on each ENTER_FRAME event until the array is emptied.
I have tried loads of options but the alpha is always ignored.

I'm looking to make a slider bar reveal movie clips on my stage as you drag it along. I've written some sloppy code that works, but isn't smooth by any means. I basically put MCs on different frames on the timeline, and I want those MCs to fade in or out relative to where the pointer is on the bar. This was a workaround, what I think I need is a boolean solution, but I'm not familiar enough with AS to write one from scratch. Here is the code I have so far. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've been trying to find this topic on the internet for what seems like forever but haven't had any luck. What I'm trying to do is remove a child movie clip and have an alpha transition when it is removed.
What I have so far can be found at: [URL]
Basically what I'm trying to do is when the video player is closed, instead of simply disappearing, I want it to fade to an alpha value of zero
this is the code I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
stop ();
MC_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vimeo_embed);
function vimeo_embed (e:MouseEvent):void {
var OpenEmbedPlayer:Vimeo_MC_PU = new Vimeo_MC_PU();

I have a movieclip, with the instance name SizingBox, on the main timeline. Within that mc, I have a Slider component, with the instance name Sizer. I want to declare an action listener on the main timeline which will listen to changes for Sizer and do something based on the current value of the slider.In AS2 this was really easy, but I cannot seem to figure it out for AS3.
Code:
var X = SizingBox.Sizer.value;
this code gives an error.

just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;

I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I have button's in one of the loaded swf's but i am unable to make these buttons alter whats in the main swf.

I searched previous posts last week about this and learned that I can load a movie clip from the library in a blank mc holder similar to how I load an exernal swf. But so far that code is not working for me. I also need a way to close/make invisible the clip on user clicking an X. I have a page with about 6 key words over which I will place invisible buttons. First button instance is named compworkBtn. I have a blank mc on the stage, name of mcLoadertop. My mc I want to play is in the library and named compworkMC. I read that I need to set the properties to export and I have done this (picture attached for compworkMC).
[Code]....
Then I want the user to click on the X or close button and it goes away. I thought the easiest thing for this work be to program the Close button itself to drive the MC to a frame that had no content. It will still be there, of course, but not be visible. Then the user would click on the next key word and the next MC will load. Not sure that is a good solution though, because they will both still be there. So, I'd like a suggestion for another solution to unload the first mc and load the second one. I have done a similar thing with external swfs, but I will need a close button instance for each of the unloads, right?

I am trying to create a flash visual showing a time series of data on a world map. I have created a flash file which 1) creates proportional circles for each country of interest (in this case 6 countries) and 2) has a timeline so that the circles change through time. I have successfully gotten the timeline to work with the proportional circles, however the circles to not clear out before displaying the new circles when adjusting the timeline. I am not able to figure out how to properly clear out the circles. I have tried using the holder.removeChild(c) command before I create my new circles, but get an error which states 'Parameter child must be non-null'.
ActionScript Code:
import XMLLoader;
import ProportionalCircle;
