ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Can't Access Button From Inside MC
Mar 1, 2009
I am learning how to create menu systems for a game and have a few different "screens" (movieclips with buttons and such).
I am getting Undefined Property errors when I try to access a button from the class file of a screen.
Example: I have a MainMenu screen. This has its own class MainMenu.as.
Inside the library MainMenu movieclip, I have a button, instance named start_button.
But inside the MainMenu.as file, I try to do start_button.addEventListener(...) and it says undefined property. I tried doing getChildByName("start_button"), that won't work either.

I want that this button to the clicado being executes the function stop in one movie clip, I call this button stop2, it will go to only appear when dust button that this in timeline primary will be clicado, the button if flame drinks, that this in timeline primary, and another one calls stop, that also this in timeline primary, buttons xi (timeline primary) and paraMc (timeline inside of movieclip) the two has the function of for the animation of the other movie clip called " simbolo".
I want to know I eat to place action in the button paraMc that he is inside of movie clip for, remembering that the button paraMc only appears in the screen when the clica user in the button in the green color.I already tried to make: para.paraMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,simbolo); but it did not function, The square in the black color is movie clip that it contains a button of it inside, when clicar in the button of green color, the function reproduces movie clip in the gray color and movie clip in the black color that contains the button. the button in the red color calls the function " chega" , the button in the black color that is inside of movie clip also calls this function.

I've created several frames, and buttons inside them. With the click on a button inside a frame, I need to highlight the frame.how to access the whole movie clip with the click on a button that is a part of it (what keyword, syntax etc) . The button is a part of the frame (same movie clip) and this has to be done with the help of this button (not by adding an event listener on the whole movie clip);

How do you access a button from inside another movieclip?
I have:
_root.bg.B_Start on the stage with B_Start being the instance name of the button on frame 2 of the bg movieclip, which is on frame 2
My code is:
B_Start.onRelease = function() {
trace('ping');
};
I am trying to get ping to be traced when the button is pressed but nothing happens.

I have another problem I create a button in the library, it has a background graphic on a layer and a textField, the textField has a instance name defined in the properties panels and some text. I manually place some instance of the button on stage, I give them different instance names and voilà a new problem arise when with actionscript I try to assign a new text to the textField inside a button it throws me error 1119. A quick look at the menu option debug ->list objects, shows me that the instance name of the textField inside the button it is not what I defined but it was replaced with some random name like "instance66"I did a test with a movieclip instead of a button and I can correctly access my textField with the instance name that I manually defined. Why that can be the same with the button? And if for some arcane reason cant be possible to access a manually defined instance inside a button WHY flash give me the possibility to give an instance name to a dynamic textField inside a button?

I have implemented a scroll pane component and content of it is a layout of images which are buttons.Scroll pane name is "mc_pane2"Content class is "MyContent"And the button's instance name is "FloraLytell_btn" (It is essensially an mc with TweenLite code in it for roll over and roll out effects) am not able to figure out what would be a code to access a button inside the scroll pane. Below is what I have tried and it doesn't work.
mc_pane2.MyContent.FloraLytell_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_floralytellPopUp);
function onClick_floralytellPopUp(event:MouseEvent) :void {

what i tried to do is the following: i created a dynamic text, gave it a name and converted it to symbol (Button; together with a shape). then i created an instance of it and gave this one a name as well.i tried to access the dynamic text using the following as 3 code:
[symbol instance name].[dyn. text name].text = "asdf";
however, that doesnt work, and the following error shows up: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."its interestion that all that works for the symbol being a movie clip instead of a button.is there a possibility to access the dynamic text inside the button as well? is there a reason for the difference between the button and the movie clip?

I'm using Flash CS3 with Actionscript 2.0.I have a Button. This include on "UP" frame a Movie Clip with a Dynamic Text in.
The Button have Instance Name = boton
The Movie Clip have Instance Name = pelicula
Dynamic Text have a variable called = texto
So, I use this code in the main scene:
Code:
boton.pelicula.texto = "new text"; but don't works, I think is something with the Frame "UP".

I have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up. I have two buttons on the dialog box, but for some reason you can't click on them and when you do, the dialog box just disappears. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, so how do i get the "YES/NO" buttons to work? Oh, the buttons are not included in that Graphic

I'm using OOP code only, no frames nothing.
I have a movieclip called "test" which contains another movieclip called "subtest" inside.
Now, on my code I have:
Code:
var _test:test = new test;
Now, I want to access the MC "subtest", how do I do that?
I gave the instance name "subtest", if I do something like below, it says that the type subtest is not found:
Code:
MovieClip(_teste.getChildByName("subteste"));

I am trying to have the function name from itself.It will be really cool to automate something like this:
obj.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, myFunction );
private function myFunction( e:Event ):void {
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener( e.type, currentFunction ); // where currentFunction should be myFunction}

how I can access the coordinates of an mc, but its coordinates with respect to the stage.
What I am doing is using a dragging function, but while the mouse is moving I am also trying to trace the position of the mc itself with respect to its position on the stage, but it seems to keep giving me very small numbers, almost like numbers with respect to its original position. I am not sure yet though why this is. Here is my code:
[Code]....
I have also tried to get rid of the this.x = mouseX and the same for y, but then it returns the values as undefined when i trace this.x and this.y

I'm learning a lot by reading the questions and answers that are asked in the Forum. Now it is my turn to ask a question that is probably a rookie, but I have spend 3 days breaking my head to try to find a solution and have not found it yet.
I am trying that the program responds to each click of the player in a box that is white and turns red, with a random click in another box. Something similar to Tic Tac Toe.
My problem is that I can't make te program to access the boxes in the array by programming. When I try the program to access the box with p.ex.: "this.newBox.boxplus30.gotoAndStop (2);" I always get the error "object null or undefined". I have tried everything you can imagine to formulate that line of code, but without success.[code]...

I have an AS3 swf which loads and external AS2 swf. Inside the AS2 swf i have the following code which fetches the flashvars passed through html.
flashpar.text = "Params: " + _level0.name;
When i run the AS2 SWF independently passing the param through HTML. It works fine.But when i load the AS2 swf inside AS3 swf. It is not able to fetch the flashvars, which is strange cz if i load the AS2 SWF inside another AS2 swf it works fine. how should i fetch the flashvars inside the loaded AS2 SWF.
