I have to write to a text field from a nested movieclip that is too deep to use the parent["myTextField"].text = sometexthere. how I can access that textfield? I've tried using the stage["myTextField"].text = sometexthere, but that doesn't seem to work either.

View 1 RepliesBasically I'm trying to write a function that can look at any movieClip no matter how far down it is nested and then tell a MC sitting in the root movie to lay over it.
View 1 RepliesCode:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.text = "abc";
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.addChild(tf);
trace(mc.tf.text);
Why does the trace statement throw me an error?

I have a flashgallery.swf that thru the HTML it is embedded in, sends parameters for the content, css code, and php script code using this so.write("flashgallery.swf"); statement. Since my flashgallery.swf will be loading into the 4th swf of 4 nested swfs, I am trying to set up "global" flashvars. I'm pushing through the flashvars on the main.swf HTML page and I have that working. But now I need to figure out how to push that data thru to my nested flashgallery.swf file.

how to write less than symbol "<" to a textfield that has htmlText? Basically I am working on a chat application and when the user puts this symbol to the input textfield and sends the message, the message appears in the chat window but only to the index of the <, nothing shows up after it (including the < symbol). I don't want to leave out this symbol from the message, it is crucial that it has to appear.
View 0 RepliesIf you put a moviecilp on the stage and then write a class that extends movieclip, is it possible to make it so that this references inside your class refer to the movieclip on stage.
E.g. this.x would refer to the x reference of the movieclip on stage.
I'm trying to write a class that will create my movieclip buttons dynamically, and assign some text to a dynamic text box inside it, based on the argument I pass to the method in this class. I've got a movieclip in my library with the linkage shown below - And I've got this so far in its own AS file -
Code:
package com.willgoldstone.tutorials {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Mybtn extends MovieClip{
[code]....
All I want to do is instantiate a copy of this movieClip in my library and assign a value to its dynamic text field..
I have a nested movieclip that I need to control.I have searched the net and to this point I have been able to make it gotoAndStop at frame 1 and play().I can't make it stop.I understand that actionscript can be attached to the movieclip instance or placed on the root timeline.what I would like is direction to websites and or tutorials that might teach me how to control a nested movieclip.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to build a styled, rounded button movieclip that I can reuse/resize. So inside a movieclip, I have two layers:
Layer 1: A border, which is a shape - a rounded rectangle (or actually the stroke of a rounded-rect).
Layer 2: A nested movieclip which contains a shape for the face of the button. I have added filters to this nested movieclip to give it a beveled-type look - typical rounded button stuff.
So, I've tried applying scale-9 to the parent movieclip: in this case the border scales fine, but the face (with the filters) does not. So, then I tried applying scale-9 to both the parent and the nested face movieclip,I want to be able have the button self contained as a clip which I can pull from the library, drop on the stage, and scale without distortion - and so far, as mentioned,I can't figure out how the get the nested face, the one with the filters applied, to scale appropriately.
is there a simple code that pauses all the movieclips or would i have to write a code for every single movieclip to pause??
View 1 RepliesHow do I write my class so it passes all of its functions/methods to the calling movieclip? For example, the following code imports my graphics class and creates a square:
ActionScript Code:
import sprites.vectorGraphics;
var vGX = new vectorGraphics();
var newSquare = vGX.createVector(this, 'square', 'rectangle', 20, 20, 0xff0000, 1, 0x0000ff, true);
That I'd like to be able to do is this:
ActionScript Code:
import sprites.vectorGraphics;
var newSquare = createVector(this, 'square', 'rectangle', 20, 20, 0xff0000, 1, 0x0000ff, true);
I'm having a problem trying to get some nested movie clips to play. I have three movie clips on three different layers all on frame one of the parent layer. each layer has a labIe (well just call it "layer1", "layer2. "layer3") I have a stop command on the parent level (on its own layer). each of the three movie clips has its own animation (the nested animation). The lower two have a stop command in their first frame(nested) so they wont play. Only the top movieclip would play on run. I want to place a gotoandplay command in the nested timeline of the above movie, that will start to play the next lower movie clip nested timeline, as the above one is ending, and repeat this process to cylce back around to the top movieclip. The overall goal is to have one animation move into the other using nested timeline smoothly.

View 2 RepliesI have a main swf that loads an external swf (WNC.swf). The external swf (WNC.swf) contains a scrollPane that loads another external swf (WNC_DATA.swf). I'm trying to target the WNC_DATA.swf from the main swf, so I can tell it to go to frame (2). The following code targets the first child swf (WNC.swf), however I'm unable to target WNC_DATA.swf inside the scrollPane.

If -- draggable -- moivieClip_A is created, and then moivieCLip_B is created as a child of movieClip_A, (when movieClip_A is dragged onPress, movieClip_B simultaneously moves with it), is it possible to change a property of movieClip_B with a mouse event? Seems as though movieClip_A's layer position / mouse events are blocking mouse events for movieClip_B.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to control a movieclip nested in a movie clip from the main timeline, but I can't seem to get it to work. I understand the "." dot notation, but it just isn't working.I googled the crap out of it, but nothing really.Attached is just a simple example I'm trying to get to work. The file is CS4 format.
View 9 RepliesThis is probably a very simple solution, but I can't seem to find it online. Basically, I have a button that need to change a movieclip's frame in it's parent.So I tried:
ActionScript Code:
_parent.slideshowImages.gotoAndStop(2);
But it's not working! I know I'm getting to the right locaiton because _parent holds a variable, and I can access that just fine. But I for some reason can't access the movieclip at all.
Note: I can't upgrade to AS3 (What I'm used to) as this isn't my file.
what im trying to do here is to make subcategories to show images like this:
villas ---> villa1--->loadmovie: photo1
villa2--->loadmovie: photo2
interior--->interior1
