ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A New Movieclip For Each Top-level XML Node And Include In The Movieclip Two Separate Textfields?
Jun 4, 2009My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing A Movieclip Within An Attached Movieclip?
Nov 29, 2006 I am trying to reference a movieclip within a movieclip that I am loading using "attachmovie". In the first frame of the root, I am attaching the movie. Then, from the attached movie I am calling a function that is also in the first frame of the root. In the function I am tring to set the property of a clip within the attached movie to visible using the following code:
_root.logIn.loginMessage._visible = true;
I have also tried _root["logIn"].loginMessage._visible = true; with no luck.
(logIn is the name of the clip I am attaching using attachMovie and loginMessage is the clip I am trying to reference in the attached movie)
This is how I'm loading it and I know that part is working: _root.attachMovie("login_mc","logIn",getNextHighes tDepth());

Jan 19, 2010I have an xml document that I would like to use to show MovieClips in my .fla:
<linkedMovieClip>TestClip</linkedMovieClip>
In my .fla, I created a symbol called TestClip and select Linkage > Export for Actionscript and named it TestClip.
My code in my Document class traces the xml:
var t:*= getDefinitionByName(String(slideItem.linkedMovieClip)) as Class;
var linked:MovieClip = new t();
trace("linked is..."+ linked); // outputs [Object TestClip];
[Code]....
However, I am still getting an error message. When I check the debugger it's from this line:

ActionScript 2.0 :: F8 - Referencing MovieClip After Attaching It
Feb 17, 2009I'm having issues trying to reference a movieClip after attaching it. What I have is:
Code:
btn_instructions.onRelease = function() {
instructions = true;
attachMovie("parchment", "mc_parchment", getNextHighestDepth(), { _x:280, _y:280 });
} mc_parchment.btn_close.onRelease = function() {
instructions = false;
trace("close");
removeMovieClip(mc_parchment);
}
The first is creating it on top of the other items that are created during the game. I can't have the instructions on the timeline and just change the visibility of it due to all the assets this game is making. The instructions variable is used in an if statement elsewhere in the game to lock the user controls so they can't create anything else in the game while your viewing the instructions. The second function is the one that should close it. The movie clip that's attached has a button in it, with the instance name btn_close. The trace doesn't even pop up so it's not targeting it correctly. Yet when I go to 'debug' and 'list objects' both mc_parchment and mc_parchment.btn_close are listed as being in the scene after clicking the instructions button.

I want to be able to call various movieclips I have arranged in a grid from these two variables (xBoard and yBoard). They get new values every time I click on my gameboard.
Basically I check if they space ahead of the unit is empty. If it is I want the alpha of that space to change designating you can move there. The movieclips are arranged in a grid and named b00 (top left) to b77(bottom right).
This is the error message:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildByName through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
If I take out the getChildByName... root.("b"+(yBoard-1)+xBoard).alpha = .7;
This is the error message:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing A Specific Movieclip
Apr 13, 2011Suppose you have a movie clip called MC1 and it is on frame 20 of the stage in layer 3. How should I refer to this MC within actionscript? Can I only refer to this movie clip from frame 20?
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Movieclip In Array
Jun 13, 2011Just learning as3. For testing purposes, I duplicated a movieclip 4 times on the stage and gave each mc a different instance name and put them in an array ("line1","line2","line3","line4"). Then I just want one movieclip to move 200 pixels based on the conditions of the array. Here is the code:
var stuff:Array = new Array("line1","line2","line3","line4");
for(var i:int=0;i<stuff.length;i++)
{
if ((stuff[i]) == "line4") {
trace(stuff[i]);
var duke = (stuff[i]);
[duke]y += 200;
}
}
It traces out the correct mc (line4) but ALL the movieclips move 200 pixels instead of the one (line4). Do you know why this is? I have a feeling that [duke]y is not the correct way to reference the movieclip.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing The Same MovieClip Repeatedly?
May 31, 2010I'm trying to make a loader class that will spit back MovieClip data from the Loader. If another class/function requests the same data (Rather, the same file), rather than making a new loader and re-loading it, I was hoping to just have it return the same MovieClip. This all works to some extent, but the problem I'm having is this - Because the new request is adding the MovieClip, it's taking it away from the old one.
I tried making a copy when the request is made, but the image is generally not loaded then, and because the copies aren't updated, most of the images are empty when everything requests it.So basically what I'm hoping you can guide me towards is a sort of... C++ pointer-esque thing, something that could point to the MovieClip data without actually taking it away from everything else. I've messed with AS3 for a while, but can't find anything like that. Or any other method that would let multiple MovieClips reference a single "original" movie clip, reference-style.

Jun 15, 2009This is a problem I thought I understood and was addressed in a previous thread [URL] but I have a new situation where the old solution isn't working.I have 3 instances on a "nested" movie clip. Their instance names are: b1, b2, and b3. When I trace these movieclips from the main timeline, I get:
trace(b1); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b1
trace(b2); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b2
trace(b2); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b3
From the main timeline, I want to fade up these movieclips using tween, but I need to do this by building the instance name in a variable:
var myInstance:String = "slide_mc.newMC.b"+ instanceNumber //(instanceNumber is equal to 1, 2, or 3)
Now, I thought using the variable in this manner would work:
new Tween (this[myInstance], "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
...but it doesn't.
I've checked trying to use the actual movie clip instance:
new Tween (this.slide_mc.newMC.b1, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
...and it works fine.

There is a button inside that says "Close". I am trying to use the removeMovieClip() method on that button, but it's not working. I can put a button on the stage, and use the same method, but it doesn't work.

Oct 22, 2009First of all: this is my first post at actionscript.org *happysound*. I'm working on this flash gallery since a couple of days and something is drinving me crazy in actionscript.
The concept: in this part of the flashfile i'm loading thumbnails in dynamicly created movieclips on stage (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg). Everything is working fine, but now I wanted to add some fancy fading when the loading of a single thumb completes. For some reason I can not get the tweening class working and I'm sure it's a problem with the referencing to the clip. I know this cause when I change "thumb"+i to thumb1 it is working. Googled for hours without result..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Stage From Within MovieClip Or Class
Dec 9, 2009I'd like to know how I can reference root stage values from within a movieclip, or even worse, from a class. For example, I have a class called Bground.as. It does stuff, according to current stage size - so if someone were to resize the window/browser, Background updates in real time and does something fancy while it's at it. To do this "fancyness", I need stageheight and stagewidth. However, simply pointing to them does not work.
Here's the simplified ActionScript Code:
package klaseFP{
// imports
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;
public class Bground extends MovieClip{
[Code] .....
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at klaseFP::Bground()
at FullScreen_03_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Background works as a document class, works perfectly in fact. However, if I use it as the class of a library object, error 1009 shows up. Same thing happens if I simply put the code into the timeline of the library object - stage referencing simply causes it to break. So, how do I dynamically change the values of variables in Background, according to values in the main movie/app?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing A MovieClip Based On Variables
Mar 15, 2012I am having trouble referencing a MovieClip based on certain variables in my code. I am using Flash Player 9 as the player setting and ActionScript 3.
I have a symbol with a name "Check1" set as a MovieClip, exported for ActionScript, I have ten of these on the stage with an Instance Name of ch0, ch1, ch2...ch9.
Each ch? has 21 frames on the timeline, each with a label name (named with a Number reference "00", "32", etc...) and a different image in each keyframe.
What I would like to do based on these variables:
Code:
iTurn = 1;
iLeft = 3;
iRight = 2;
This is how I would like to use it:
Code:
Check1.ch[iTurn].gotoAndStop(iLeft+iRight);
//iLeft & iRight as a frame label and not a frame number, so in the case I would like to access framelabel "32" which is frame 10 on the timeline.
I have tried many way to try and make this work with no luck, the only way I have been able to make it work is by using:
Code:
ch1.gotoAndStop("32");
Doing this, I would have 10 clips, each with 21 possibilities. I can do this with many lines of code but I have been unable to tighten it into smaller code.
