Dec 18, 2010
I need the following: Using Flash CS4 AS3.
1) GoUp (GoUp is a button to move a square (Box_mc) up)
2) Once it is go up the button label of GoUp to be changed to "GoDown"
3) DoDown (GoDown is a button to move down the square (Box_mc)
4) Once it is go down, the button lablel again to be changed "GoUp"
Just like toggle between GoUp & GoDown buttons.
Note: The Square (Box_mc) is on the same form since there is only one layer.

I have a button (myButton_btn) which is nested inside a few movie clips. How do I access it from the main time line? Does this look like a proper code:
firstLevel_mc.secondLevel_mc.thirdLevel_mc.myButton_btn.addEventListen er(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_goHome);
function onClick_goHome(event:MouseEvent): void {
this.gotoAndPlay("homesequence");
}

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.

I'm stuck on this one :
I am developing a player in as2.
I 've got a clip, containing a button inside it.On this clip, I have 3 listeners, onRollOut, onRollOver, and onRelease.
Basically the clip is a line for a menu, and if it is a chapter, it has a arrow button, deploying or hiding the content (other line clips without arrow) of the chapter.
I hope i'm clear enought ^^
So the 3 listeners are for changing the color of the line if the mouse goes over (onRollOver and onRollOut) and the 3rd one is to redirect to the slide associated with the line.[code]...

I'm designing an interface which lets the user control the timeline of a movie clip, by dragging a slider up or down with the mouse. And I can now drag the slider around, an archivement for which I am way proud. But I have some problems:
1) When the user drag the curser away from the slider movie clip and let go of the mouse buttom, the MOUSE_UP is not detected. I need a way to detect a MOUSE_UP in general.
2) The current frame of mcTheAnimation should always be locked to the vertical position of the slider. How do I access the timeline of that movie clip?[URL]..

I have a flash file which uses php to manipulate a database and returns a variable (data_xml) of xml formated data from the database. This happens, along with other things, within the parent. Now I have a child movieclip that displays the parsed data but I am having trouble accessing the variable from within the child movieclip. The code related to this is:
var myXML:XML = new XML();var myXML = XML(event.currentTarget.root.data_xml);
and I get the following two errors which point to the second line as the problem:
1151: A conflict exists with definition myXML in namespace internal.
Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.
I have unchecked "Automatically declare stage instances" because I've seen that suggested for the 1151: error, but I still get the same two errors.

I have movie clip in an array (newStep) that is being added to the stage dynamically. It's randomly choosing a frame to go to every time an instance is added. There is a nested movie clip (stepLine) that i need to change the alpha of. This code actually works for adding a string to to the dynamic text box (pointsDText) but when i try to access the nested movie clip (stepLine) it gives me 1009 null object reference error. The funny thing is the code actually works and does change the alpha of the movie clip but i still get that error, and i think it's making my game more glitchy. I've tried using if(contains(steps[r].stepLine)) too but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to access this movie clip without getting the error?
if(newStep != null){
for(var r:int = 0; r<steps.length;r++){
if(steps[r].currentLabel == "points"){

I have a flash project consisting of a single frame in the main time line. Upon user interactions many movie clips fade into the stage. My problem is that i am unable to continue working on these animations when i set the movie clips 1st frame to zero opacity. What is the correct way to access my movie clip instances when I am unable to simply double click on them?
