I want to call on a button instance that lives two levels up in a movie clip. So, the mc lives here: Scene 1 > startMc > navMC (the navMC contains all the buttons) I thought "page1_btn.child.child.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page1content);" would work but doesn't seem to do it. The code on main timeline is:

so here's the function on main stage:

and here's the code that wants to call this function in a another movie clip. I've attached this clip dynamicaly to the main stage as well.

How can i acess slideImage function on the main stage. in AS2 _root.slideImage(btnNumber); would work. How Would I do this in AS3?
I need to run a function once a movieClip has stopped playing, but can't figure out how.

Here is the function on the main timeline im trying to call

I've got a movie with a few buttons in it. When you click on one of the buttons an external swf opens. At the same time a large, quare, white movieclip opens at the back of the external swf (the white mc is in the main movie). Okay, so for so good.
In the external swf there is a close button. When you click the button, the external swf goes to frame 14 to show a short closing animation. The last frame contains the following code:
TweenLite.to(_level0.contentback_mc,1,{_alpha:0});
this.unloadMovie();
The first line is to make shure the large white mc becomes transparent again. The second line is - ofcourse - to unload the external swf.
The problem is that the first line doens't work. When I trace the first line from the main movie, the output contains '_level0.contentback_mc;
Oh, and the external swf is loaded in an actionscript generation container (contentback_mc).
I have a function within another function. Is it possible to call the function inside the function from the main timeline. See example code. I want to call the function called sub from outside off the function called main.
Code:
function main():void{
// Do something
function sub():void{
//do something
}}
so here's the function on main stage:
function slideImage(btnNum:Number)
{
trace("scrolling image");
trace(btnNum);

I have 2 buttons in my main movieclip, one called "projects by client" and the other "projects by category".I have an external projects.swf which has 2 functions CLIENTS_CLICK and CATEGORIES_CLICK. The code is in the first frame of the projects.fla actions layer and not in a class.

View 4 RepliesI have some functions defined at the main timeline, and I need to call them from a class, how can I do this?
I've tried object(parent).function();
and object(root).function();
but didn't worked
those functions need to be on the main timeline because they removeChild() of the class
I have a main time line and a button defined. Can I define functions in actionscript anywhere and call them from anywhere? For example, if I call a function in main timeline and it's defined in the button, does that work?
View 3 RepliesHow do you call a function on the main timeline from a an onRealease in a nested mc?I have created a function that resides on the main timline, and when a button is released I want to call it, but the button is nested in a movie clip.
View 2 RepliesI am working on AS3 and I have a created a button class which have an off state and on state. I did the class and it works fine, but i need a little fine tuning. Right now I am polling the button state from the root(main timeline) by checking a boolean property in the button class. I feel it is quite inefficient to check the button state on every enterFrame event of the main timeline. Rather I would prefer the button to tell the root time line by invoking a function written in the root, whenever a state change occurs. t should be cleaner , right?? But when I try to access a function in the root which goes like this

I'm having a bit of a hard time with calling a function in the main timeline through a button in a movieclip. The mc is in the main timeline and in it I added a button with this.removeMovieClip(); and so far it works, but when I try to call a function from the main timeline it just doesn't seem to work.

I've tryed to placed the replayBtn on the stage on the main timeline and I've set it up to replayBtn.visible = false; And then I add replayBtn.visible = true; to last AS frame of clock_mc but it wont work Even when I put the button physically to the last frame of clock_mc it will not work either.
I am curious if there is a way to call back to the main timeline using AS3 after a video clip or audio clip that is being loaded externally, is done playing? For instance: you get to a page with a video on it, but when the video is done playing, instead of just sitting there, it automatically takes you to a new page (framelabel).
View 9 RepliesI have a scrollPane on my Stage and I have it linked to a movieClip containing a series of images that have been converted to buttons. Everything works fine, except I can't seem to figure out how to get the buttons to link to the main timeline. All I want is them to gotoAndPlay ("frameLableOnTheMainTimeline"). (I am using AS3)I tried a standard on Click eventListener, but am unsure of the syntax to make it go back to a specific frame on the main timeline.

View 14 RepliesI've got what I think isn't a real tough one however I can't seem to get this working.
I have a MovieClip. This movie clip has 21 buttons. These 21 buttons should be forwarding the user to frames 60-81 on the maintime line.
The actionscript I've added is not providing any errors however it's working either as these buttons don't do anything unfortuanlty.
Below is a sample of the code i've placed within the MovieClip itself, as the buttons and the button names are contained in the movieClip.
AS3 Code Being Used
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, button1Click);function button1Click(e:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(55)}
This code is listed for each button instance and to forward the user to a frame on the main timeline (NOT the timeline in the MovieClip itself).
Again, this code is contained in the MovieClip itself and not on the main timeline, as the buttons exist in the movieClip I.E. button1_btn to button21_btn
Lastly, to provide a visual idea of what i'm expereincing, please refer to screenshot embeeded in this message or the attachment (same thing).
I have a movie clip - it is a slideshow style mc, but instead of pictures, each frame is layers that include bulleted text, images, etc. - and it advances frames automatically with this code:
Code:
stop();
function wait() {
nextFrame();
}setTimeout(wait, 4500);
I need to set up a pause button that will stop the mc from advancing (i.e. ignore the wait function code above) and a PLAY button that will resume the auto-advancing of my movieclip. In my main timeline, I already have forward and backward buttons that work to advance/rewind frame by frame using this code:
Code:
stop();
//next button
next_btn.onPress=function(){
if(mc_content._currentframe==mc_content._totalframes){
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1)
[Code] .....
How to set up PLAY/PAUSE buttons that will stop/start all actions that are running in my MC?
Basically I am trying to get buttons that I have in a drop down menu load an external .swf into an empty movie clip placed on the main timeline. However for some reason it is not working. The buttons are contained in a movie called "menuItems" which is then placed in a movieclip called "mainMenu" which is then placed on the main timeline.
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("reverse");
if (_root._root._root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root._root._root.currMovie = "personalData";

im creating a character sheet and all i have to do is get the character to do a few things, im using Stan from american dad, so he draws his gun, salutes, and does this guns speech, only problem is. i can get him to salute by using the code
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("2");
}
this links fine, the salute is in a movieclip on frame 2 of the timeline, and the button is set to link to this.problem starts after the movieclip finishes playing, how to return to frame 1 on the main timeline, ive tried gotoAndStop("1") amongst other things (gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", 1)ive also tried frameLables too but that didnt work, though im not sure if i was doing that right to start with.Then im having a problem with my other buttons, even when set to on(release){gotoAndPlay("3");} they still go to frame 2 (with salute on)
I have a move clip with several buttons inside; their rollover seems fine. i am trying to get the buttons in the clip to address / go to the main movie timeline. Button names within the clip: c_btn, d_btn, etc. These are the symbols names; they have not been given unique instance names within the clip. The clip name is nav_all and its instance on the timeline is navall.mc I am using Flash CS3, AS3.

The problem is the button is not on the main timeline, but instead nested in a movie clip. I just don't know how to target that button.
