I have on the stage a function called close_all. I am trying to access the function from a movieclip but I can't.I am using it like this :
stage.close_all();
I tried Stage.close_all(); or root.closeall(); Nothing works.The thing is that I have 2 mc on the stage. from mc 1 I want to access mc2...
I have attached the actionscript file on stage, however I can't access function or variables inside movieclip. Instead I can access them on main timeline, is there a way to access function and variables inside movieclip
View 2 Repliesi want to access a movieclip or a textfield placed on stage within a static function defined in a class not in a document class ..
View 1 RepliesI have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
I have a class Debug with a function called trace inside it which puts a TextField on the stage and outputs the text. Now I am trying to get the Debug.trace() function to do a "normal" debug trace as well from within side itself. of course this causes a recursive loop. I am trying to figure out how I can access the top level separately. I tried using namespaces such as AS3::trace but to no luck.
I know a solution is to rename my function to stop the conflict, but I would like that to be a last resort. It is being used in quite alot of places throughout my entire code so replacing it everywhere is going to be a ballache.
Is it possible to access a function within a function in a parent swf from a loaded swf?
View 6 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

Working on an RPG type flash, and I have to be able to control a text-box from quite a few locations. The one that is causing me trouble is the inventory. I need to be able to access the textbox with an instance of "statusWindow" from within the inventory clip (instance name "inventory"), so when I mouse over an item within the movieclip it will change the status window on the stage.In this instance I want to mouse over inventory.invHealth from the main timeline to get the display.itemName and itemProps are strings containing information about the item.I tried the following but it gave me a "possibly undefined" error.
invHealth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, itemStats);
function itemStats(e:Event):void
{
root.statusWindow.text = itemName+"
"+itemProps;
}
how can i access a movieclip via its instance name in another Movieclip class?
and a nother question how can i access a movieclip via its class name in another movieclip class?
BTW i want to access the movieclip child
I've got a dozen movie clips on stage, each with 3 children, and each of those have 8 children, as example named u01-u08.
Is it possible to access u01 directly without the parent names? like a wildcard? like the xml way of getting to nodes with a .. ?
sort of like: stage..u01.alpha = .5;
I'm making a fighting game and so far all the controls are good, characters can walk, run attack etc. My problem: The character is a MovieClip, Guy, and is exported to a class Guy. In Guy.as I have a boolean "hitting" which is set to default "false". If the Guy object hitTests an enemy while "hitting" is true, the enemy will take tamage.
In the Guy MovieClip there are about 7 frames, each with its own animation. 3 of those frames are attacking animations in form of MovieClips, i.e, if we click them we get another set of frames. Say one of the attack MovieClips has 10 frames in it, frame 7 of 10 is where the punch actually lands, this is when I want the enemy to take damage, not before (while the character is still moving his hand forward). Seeing as this frame is inside a MovieClip which is inside another MovieClip(Guy), is there a way to access the property "hitting" with this inner frame?
I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts
View 8 RepliesI want to access the properties of movieclips inside a movieclip.
Below is a code of how the Parent mc is created. It's looped because it's gets it data from XML. So there is not one parent movieclip but a number of parent movieclips depending on how many items the XML contains:
Code:
function doComplete(e:Event):void {
//create a new variable to store an instance of the XML class. We pass through the data from the XML file.
var xml:XML = new XML(e.target.data);

I've been having a few problems with accessing an array from a different function.
The array I want to use is from the makeFly function, which generates instances of the Fly MovieClip. I want to access the array from the paperSwing function, which should test for a collision between the mouse cursor and the fly movieclip, and then if true remove the instance. This is the part where I'm having a bit of trouble, I'm not sure of how to access the array "name[i]".
This is from the "Main" Document class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

How do I access varibles from within another function. For instance, I load some variables from a txt file and once loading is complete I assign some variables. The variables from the oncomplete function is the variables I want to use in another function.
[Code]...
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}
I want to load my XML, listen for the complete loading and then be abble to access the loaded XML in the main part of my program. I need to do so cause I want to load and process, like 10 or more XML in this project.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI have a AS3 MP3 player. The player class is called Mp3PlayerFrontEnd and controls the play and pause buttons. The playlist class is called PlaylistBoxItem and loads the track names into a playlist from XML. On each line of the playlist is a download button. When the download button is pressed, I want the player to pause. I thought I could just _player.pause(); from the playlist class but it doesnt work.
So my question is... How do I access the function in the MP3 player class from the playlist class?
"Normally you will just have to get access to the Mp3Player instance in PlaylistListboxItem class and call pause() on it in download function. I guess the easiest way to achieve this is to create a public static instance of a holder class that could be used access the player from wherever in code."
I am trying to do something like:
String.prototype.print=function(){trace(??????)}
I can't for the life of me figure out a way to get at the string!
Is there a way to access a function that is in a different frame?
