So - I'm loading the "graphic.swf" into a movie clip called "topClip" which is already on the stage in the main timeline. That works fine. But... then I'm having a problem addressing the loaded "graphic.swf" with a button (to lower it's alpha). I'm using this:

I have three movieclip "buttons" within a couple of nested movieclips and I am unsure how to address them in actionscript. I have an event listener and a function for the rollover and rollout mouseEvents below
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL _OVER, cursorOverButton);
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_breasts_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.R OLL_OVER, cursorOverButton);
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_face_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL _OVER, cursorOverButton);
function cursorOverButton(e:MouseEvent):void{e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
e.currentTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, cursorOutButton);}
function cursorOutButton(e:MouseEvent):void{e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");}
Within the movieclip buttons are labels over and out included in the buttons. When I rollover and rollout the mouse over the movieclip buttons they don't behave correctly. I am wondering if the e.currentTarget inside the function is the right address of the nested movieclip buttons procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc, etc.
I'm brand new at AS3 and having trouble targeting nested movie clips stored in my library. Here's my sample code:

Let's say I have a movie clip named MC in stage. The following statements work.
var clipName = "MC";
this[clipName].y = 100;
However, if I put a child movie clip (named childMC) inside that MC movie clip, I'm not able to address the child movie clip by the same fashion. I'll get an error.
var clipName = "MC.childMC";
this[clipName].y = 100;
Is there any way to address the child movie clip with dynamic name?
I have a series of mc's I'm attaching from the library, with buttons in the main movieInside each of the attached mc's is a close button that needs to close the attached mc and launch a function in the main movie, but I'm having trouble addressing the button inside the attached mc from the main timeline.I've tried this:
Code:
calloutHolder_mc.attachMovie("mar01callout", "callout_mc", 0);
calloutHolder_mc.callout_mc.close_btn.onRelease = function(){

Im having a problem adding a child to a nested movieclip.the main movieclip is instanced when the user clicks on the create gallery button.the code then proceeds to create x movieclips(productFrames) with nested movieclips(imageFrame) with instance name:imageFrame1 & dynamic text frames(title & genus) & then add text to those frames & an image to one of the nested mcs
the problem seems to be with
productFrame.imageFrame1.addChild(imageLoader);
productFrame.genus.text="Loaded "+kbLoaded+" of "+kbTotal+" KB";

I have a class that adds to the main stage fine, but not inside an MC
var SliderTestClass = new SliderTestClass;
mContent01.addChild(issSlider); //trace says undefined
addChild(issSlider);//trace says [object SliderTestClass]
Why would it refused to be added to mContent01 which is a visible MC on the stage?
i tried a lot but couldn't fix the problem..
why is the following code is not working?

I have a button function the launches a small movieClip (like a window). Inside this movieClip is your typical keypad.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Login extends MovieClip{
[Code].....
I'm trying to next a series of keypad buttons inside the new loginBox instance, so they'll be referenced as loginBox.key1 etc etc.
I want to set their x/y coordinates before they are added to the stage (loginBox.key1.x = 23) , but obviously they don't exist yet.
I'm missing the way to get around this. The very last line of the above code is my hack attempt so far, and it's still causing me problems.
If you have 5 or 6 different components in your library that you want to put inside of eachother from *.as files
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

I have two main clips with clickable clicks within each. I am using swapDepths on the two main clips in a tab navagation fashion. The problem is that if I click on the space between the nested clips in the top clip it actually is hitting the buttons(movieclips) on the other clip under it. Any suggestions?
View 1 RepliesI've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I have a movieclip in the library called flare that consists (for now) of nothing but a drawing of a pentagon. Its associated class is called Flare. The movieclip instantiates just fine, but I don't see the pentagon. When the clip is instantiated, it traces its x and its width. They are both 0. But the width should be 100.Boiled down to the extreme basics, I was getting the same result. What am I forgetting here???Document class

I'm trying to figure out how to use addChild to place a movie clip. I've got it working, but I can't get it to load in the bottom level of the movie. No matter what I do, it seems to load on top of everything else. I'm definately a newbie with AS3, and had only a little experience with AS2, but the load / unload movie seemed so much easier than this. I've found tutorials on addChild, but none of them specify how to load into a specific layer/level.

My issue is this: When I call MC1.addChild(MC2), it moves MC2 a few pixels from the location it was originally. I don't want it to move MC2,
View 7 RepliesI use the method addChild() to add a Movie Clip intoa nother one.mc1.addChild(mc2);But once the Movie Clip is added (and the second Movie Clip is higher than the first one) then it's displayed outside the first Movie Clip. Is there a way to prevent to display outside the parent?

I only get one cloud made at the position (100,y) (or, the last cloud I declare is the only one to show). How do I add multiples of a movie clip ?EDIT: I tried using addChild(new cloud) but the compiler says "Call to a possibly undefined method cloud."
I'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?
I have a movie clip (that includes a preloader and video elerments) that I created and made a .swf file from which I then imported in my main movie. I then place this .swf file (which is listed as a movie clip symbol in the library) onto the main timeline. I put an action to stop the main timeline at the frame where the nested movie is placed and expected to start. When previewing the movie, the nested movie doesn't play. I see the preloader (in scene 1 of the nested movie) appears for a second but the movie doesn't play.
Any specific action command needs to be define to make the nested movie play?
i am new to flash, i have cs4.i created a 3 second flash animation of a logo.i would like to export that into other flash projects, so that those projects will play the logo first.so what is the best and most efficient way to do that?i have tried to export the logo.fla file as a movie clip or swf file but importing it into a new flash project is a bit weird, like it doesn't come in as a single symbol, but as all of the components that make up the original animation.i have watched many tutorials on nested timelines, but i can not find one on creating a mulitlayered movie clip in a separate fla file and then importing that as a single symbol into a new project fla.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to activate a nested movie clip with a button in the main timeline. I want the button to move the nested clip to the 2nd frame, thereby passing over the stop(); in the first frame. I'm not sure how to point the button at the correct timeline, though.

Sorry to pose this type of question yet again. I have been searching for the past 24 hours for a solution, and am losing the will to live. I am very new to AS 3.0 (and don't have much programming experience), so I guess that's a big part of the problem.
