mHook -> mBottom -> hItemButton -> itemButton[a] -> itemButtonExp[a]
so i press another butoon, and retrieve a number 2, how do i access itemButton[2].itemButtonExp[2]? Coz i need to change the text field in there?
in AS2 i can access it directly by changing itemButtonExp[a].text, but how do i do it in AS3?
I am trying to create a gallery where each thumb is housed inside of it's own movie clip that will have more data, but it keeps failing because it won't let me refer to the newly created instance of the movie clip. Below is what I am trying to do.

var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.
I'm making a basic photo slide show for a website I'm working on. I have the following in place and working:
- One movieclip (images_mc) preloads all of the images before the main slideshow movieclip (player_mc) begins
- player_mc contains photo_mc which is the container for the image that is currently playing...it is animated on the stage and everything is setup that I can insert the first image and play it, then insert the second image and play it again
- I have an array full of pointers to the images_mc instances of the photos (mc_array)
- I'm having problems inserting the content from images_mc into photo_mc...I've done the following:
ActionScript Code:
photo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("placeholder_mc", photo_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(photo_mc.placeholder_mc);
photo_mc.placeholder_mc = mc_array[photoCounter];
[Code]....
The assignment on line 4 is causing the placeholder_mc to be completely rewritten, instead of duplicating the content from images_mc and inserting it into placeholder_mc. How do I duplicate the content into the placeholder? I've tried duplicateMovieClip() several times, but it always returned UNDEFINED, so maybe I'm not doing it right?
How do I insert the preloaded images properly?
I used AS in mc 1 works perfect but same code don't works inside mc 2.

View 6 RepliesI've ran into a very nasty little problem that has been buggin me for few days.
Basically I have a main (parent) swf which loads the content of the sub pages into a MovieClip called mc_container.
Inside every child SWF I have a code to repostion and resize its contents as I need with stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, relocateandresize);
But the problem is, once this SWF is embedded into the main (parent) swf, this code stops working.
My site is set up with next and prev buttons on the right and left sides respectively, and as you roll over either of the hit areas around the buttons a Sprite fades in which contains a TextField that describes the next page. Said Sprite calls the StartDrag() method, so it follows the mouse within the bounds, which is all fine and dandy on the left side of the page. Adobe, however, seems to have forgotten to put a way to dynamically alter the registration point of a Sprite, MC, whatever else, so when you roll over the right side of the page, the sprite is displayed from the top left and is mostly off the stage.
Trying to hack this problem I have tried numerous things ( classes written by others, other hacks) and the best that I have found is to use the scaleX method on the Sprite, changing the scale to -1. This, of course, makes the Sprite seem like it's reflected from its normal point, which means all its children show up backwards.
Is there anyway I can use this hack without it altering the text?
OR
Does anyone know a different way to go about displaying a Sprite from another corner? Any way to make a Sprite fade in and follow the mouse on the LEFT HAND side of the mouse pointer?
Here is a snippet to give an idea of what's happening:
naxtPage.labelBG.scaleX = -1;
nextPage.labelBG.startDrag( true, nextHitRect );
nextPage.labelBG.x = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseX;
nextPage.labelBG.y = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseY;
I have a movieclip (parent).inside that there are many buttons(movieclips). If click on any button the whole movieclip(parent) should rotate and stop at a point. For each button inside parent movieclip there is textbox. While the parent is rotating the text is also rotating, I don't want that effect. I even converted the textbox to movieclip and tried to make that movieclips rotation=0 but not working.
View 2 RepliesI need a Bitmap to make a color map inside certain symbols. What I do is import the png file and export it to as3. After that I drag and drop it inside the Symbols that need it in the correct position. What I need to know is how to get a Bitmap child inside a symbol that belongs to a class if I can't set the instance name of that Bitmap. for ex: a Symbol of the class MyClass has an img exported as Class MyBitmapClass and Base Class flash.display.BitmapData. I want, through as3, to get this MyBitmapClass object.

I have two swf file, A.swf and B.swf, each with its Document Class: B.swf is loaded in a MovieClip of A.swf. When loaded, B.swf creates an instance of CSDragger (it is a library object with its class extending MovieClip) and sets an ID property of this instance to a certain value. When this dragger is dropped by the user upon a MovieClip it sends a custom event containing the value of ID too. The custom event regularly reaches B.swf but never reaches A.swf. Aside from refactoring the CSDragger class (eg moving its handleDrop method in the B.swf document class), is there any way for the event to reach A.swf? I know I can intercept it and dispatch another event, but I was looking for a different solution (if any).[code]
View 1 Repliesin my last flash website i built, i created a gallery, my way of creating pages in flash are to have a movieclip as a page, so to make it easier to switch between the paged (page switching functionality is purely done in AS3). the gallery was a problem however, i needed the pictures to appear as popups, however to add the child from inside the movieclip, any masks i use would prevent the popup from leaving the immediate area of the page. so to get around this problem i basically used: MovieClip(root).addChild()
in my opinion this was a mistake, because it created other problems. the problem was that the popups are still connected to the page, even though they are outside of it, which meant that using removeChild() to switch from the gallery, meant that any popup that were still active, 'DIDNT' dissapear, and worse than that, because the page was removed, the popups lost any AS connected to them, which meant the couldnt be removed at all.
