ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Buttons In A Movieclip?
Aug 24, 2010
My problem is that I created my buttons on the stage and then grouped them together as a movieclip called navSat.Then I set the Linkage for navSat to NavSat.I am doing all my coding through AS3 outside of this. This is my code:
Importing the NavSat MovieClip
Quote:
function loadNavSat():void {
var newNavSat:MovieClip = new NavSat();
addChild(newNavSat);
[code]....
When I run the swf now, my navigation system comes in and all the buttons are working (up, down, over, off states are working) It still links to nothing yet. The problem is when I try to add functionality to those buttons. I have tried about 5 days worth of variations around this type of code but cannot 'communicate' with the buttons within the movieclip. This is my code for the 1st button - contactBtn (linkage: ContactBtn):
Quote:
contactBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, contactDown);
function contactDown(event:MouseEvent):void
{

I am trying to access the variable myParentVariable within the function myParentFunction() from the MovieClip's myMovieClip_mc function myMovieClipFunction().
I know that It works if I declare the variable myParentVariable outside of the myParentFunction() but I don't really want to do that

I'm trying to organize a presentation using several movieclips as "scenes." The problem I have is related to buttons nestedwithin those mc's--I would like them not to be available until eachindividual mc begins, but if I don't include the buttons on thefirst frame of the mc timeline, the main timeline cannot accessthem (and throws me an error)

I've recently started development on my first proper AS3 project and I�ve hit a sort of brick wall with my knowledge of how to make AS3 classes do what I want. I could do this in AS2 no problem with referencing the stage, but now that only the document class has access I'm stuck.I have instances of a MC called activity. These sit inside a container MC that is the source of a scroll pane (that sits on the stage).
When I click a button inside the Activity MC I need to generate a new MC and set that as the content of another scroll pane on the stage. I�ve tried several things, even gotten the stage passed to the activity MC class but it can't then be used to addChild to items on the stage just reference then (much to my aggravation). And I can�t set an event listener for the new activity�s button when it�s created as it throws a static display object error of some sort.What methods can I use to pass information from a MC class back to the stage so i can call a function or just paste a MC onto the stage? I'm at my wits end after about 10 hours of exhausting everything the internet seems to have to offer on the subject.

Using Flash CS3 and AS3 to build a learning module that will load different layers of SWF files based on buttons on the main screen. Got this working with no problems. What I want to do is add buttons to provide learners some functionality, specifically a forward button, back button and a check box that will keep advancing automatically. I've done massive searches and so far nothing seems to work. Seems like what I am acccessing so far is the main layer, not the new layers as they are loaded. Below is what I have been trying with the back button; the foward button uses nextFrame and is Handler2. It isn't working. Not even sure how to start with the checkbox for auto advance.

I need to set properties of buttons on the main stage from the current class. How would I do this?
I have multiple buttons on my stage. Each representing a chapter in a movie (from frame x to frame y of the movie).
When I push one of them, the movie plays. When it gets to the end, it should continue to the next segment/chapter. This works, but now I need to highlight the current button, not let the button I pressed be highlighted forever..

I have loaded an external swf into loaderTopBanner. It works to manipulate that, but not the individual buttons within it. (e.g. btn_Home, btn_Info)
loaderTopBanner.btn_Home.alpha = 0;

I have created a new instance of a movieclip and named it in as3.
I want to put this in another movieclip. How does this effect the reference because everything seems fine while the dynamic movieclip is just dealing with the stage. As soon as I put it in a movieclip, I get:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com::Gallery/instancesOut()
Heres part of my code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++){ var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition();
addChild(transition); transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; transition.x = i * 100;
I can reference using the string name but if I put the addchild in a movieclip it errors
Transition_mc.addChild(varTransition);

I made a script that creates a MovieClip (two stationary Ovals, side by side) from the library and transports them from the left side of the stage to the right.The idea would be to make the RIGHT Oval decrease in size as the MovieClip is traveling while keeping the LEFT Oval the same size. (All of them being part of an Array)I thought to convert the right Oval to a MovieClip within the parent MovieClip, but I have not been able to access the ".width" and ".height" of the nested MovieClip.Not sure whether I'm on the right track or not.

I am trying to add multiple different versions of the same button to the stage and to be able to access them later on by assigning them an ID. The way I assumed this would be done is to have a class for the button where an internal static variable is defined so that the ID can be found in the next function. This does not seem to be working, as the ID is constantly showing as the last number given, so in this case 6.I assume that I am doing this wrong? Here is my code so you can better understand:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

I'm trying to build a website but i'm experiencing some troublesI now have 1 movieclip "menu" on my stage wich contains my navigation bar (home, contact, gallery,...) and on the same stage i have a movieclip "middle" wich contains 3 frames 1 for home, contact etc... What i wan't to do now is write my code in the "menu" movieclip and access the 3 frames in my "middle" movieclip, so what i wrote in "menu" was this:
home_mc.buttonMode = true;contact_mc.buttonMode = true;gallery_mc.buttonMode = true;menu_mc.buttonMode = true;
home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeClick);

DocumentClass is a class that is also my document class for my fla (hence the name) and I have a movieclip on the stage with the instance name "player" which means that the player "belongs" to DocumentClass.
Without extending DocumentClass to CollisonDetection, how would I be able to access player from the CollisonDeteciton class?

The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;

trying to export a very large image from flash for days now and my latest approach has lead me to AS3. (I usually use AS2). AS2 was causing endless problems with the PHP server timing out (the raw pixel data was over 8MB) but I have the save function working thanks to this great class. The problem is, this function only works on local movieclips.
I have imported my whole AS2 project swf into an AS3 swf at runtime and now I need to find a way to send one of the AS2 movie clips as a parameter to Mark Knol's "save to jpeg" function from the class above. I've tried gSkinner's SWFbridge class but the flash LocalConnection method only seems to allow calls to a remote function, rather than call a local function on a remote movieclip.

I'm not sure why because i think i have referenced it properly. Here's my code -

I'm used to working with AS3, but due to recent events I need to work with AS2, and I'm having trouble with a simple task: How do I access a MovieClip in AS? I drew something, converted it to a symbol (of type MovieClip) and ticked "Export for ActionScript". I gave it the name "MyMC". now, when I'm in some other MovieClips action, how do I access the MovieClip I drew on stage before?

I want to add a child to a movieclip on the stage and then modify its opacity, but I got a problem, when I try this:
ActionScript Code:
var a = new LibraryItem();
mconstage.addChild(a);
mconstage.a.alpha = 0.5;
I get an error saying that mconstage.a is undefined... and in fact if I trace it I get "undefined".

This 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.

I am have created a simple fluid website, containing a menu, middle, and footer fluid movieclips that follow as the user stretches the egdes.
I have a button within my menu movieclip ("Menu" and "bio_btn" are the instance names)
In my "Middle" movieclip is where I will lay out frames of pages.
I want it so when the user clicks on the button "bio_btn" within the "Menu" movieclip, it will jump to frame 2 ("bio") under the "Middle" movieclip.
Now I have no coding in my fla file, I have coding in my external as3 file called Website, my fla file is Website. Here is the coding.. (in hightlight)
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import FluidLayout.*;
import flash.events.*;

I have my stage and on it is one MovieClip that contains another MovieClip... Now I have a document class calledMain. Here it is
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
Personally, I prefer just having separate classes fo each object then bring them all together at compile-time, but someone I know had a problem with his game which had a lot of embeded movieclips already on the stage.
how I could go about accessing the Sprite "lmao" which is on Frame 2 of the "omg" MovieClip?
