I have a function (let's call it testFunction for right now ) on the actions layer in the main timeline There is a movie clip with 15 frames long in the library
i want to add a child of the movie clip on the stage, and call testFunction when it finishes playing
how can i do? i tried to call it in the child but nothing works
Or, is there any way to show child on the stage for only a period of time like 1 second and then remove it automaticly?
below shows how to add child in a movieclip. ebd.target.addChild(info_grd); there is button named my_btn inside the movieclip info_grd.I would like to remove movieclip info_grd.parent

Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.
Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way... that is parent > child?
View 2 Repliesthis is the code i found out on the web to call a function in the parent swf from the loaded child swf.
in the child swf:
Code: Select allpanel.next_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).parentFunction();
}

I have a main MovieClip that creates a new instance of an imported class which is a page in the application. This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it. I've done this in the past without any problems with separate swf files and loaders, and with movieclips in a library. I'm at a loss on how to resolve this. Here's what I'm doing (simplified for posting):
[Code]....
On the main timeline I have a movieclip called "sections". Within "sections" there are 2 movieclips (1 simple button called closeContent and a movieClip called content_aboutUs).I am trying to remove the button "closeContent" from the stage within the "content_aboutUs" movieclip.A following function is called within the "content_aboutUs" movieclip.
PHP Code:
function closeTabContent(e:Event):void {
parent.removeChild(closeContent);

I have a parent movieclip that I attach another movieclip to. The parent movieclip is 550px high and the child movieclip is 550px high. When I attach the clip a trace of both movieclips shows them as equal, but the child movieclip is much smaller. How can I make the child fill the entire parent?
View 1 Replieshow to access a movie clip/s in a parent swf from a child swf. for example:Interface swf has buttons as mc's (home, about, services, portfolio e.t.c.) and loads in a swf when one of the buttons in the interface swf is pressed. When a button in Interface swf is pressed none of the other buttons can be pressed until the swf of the button that was pressed has loaded.
The reason for this is so that if the user tries to press the buttons quickly lets say the user pressed services button but changed thier mind right after pressing it and wanted to press lets say portfolio button they couldnt press the button until the services swf has loaded. Ive seen websites that dont do this and is makes it all mess up. Ive been able to do this in the past in AS2 but i cant figure it out in AS3.This is the code i would use in AS2:
Interface swf code is:
ActionScript Code:
_level5.btn_1.enabled = false;[code]...........
I have a movie clip viz. A. Inside that I have another movie clip viz. B. Now A has an event listener which returns its X, Y on mouse down, which in turn is used to magnify A taking those X,Y as the center point. B has its own event listener, one for changing color on mouse over and other to show a pop-up on mouse down.
Problem: When i click anywhere inside A, not covered by B, there is no problem fetching X,Y. But if i click on B, which is covering some area of A, it doesn't work. Simply because the event on B is probably not letting the event of parent to fire. Even if i write to fetch X,Y on mouse down of B, it returns its own X,Y and not of the parent, i.e. A. Because of this, the magnification doesn't work accurately in cases where child movie clip is obstructing an area of parent movie clip.
I have some variables defined in a child MC:
var first_nme = data.return_first;
var second_nme = data.return_second;
var email_addr = data.return_email;
var user_domain = data.return_domain;
var user_name = data.return_username;
I'm trying to use those variables in a parent movieclip/another movieclip.

I have a Flash file with a lot of animation and effects applied. I am trying to optimize my Flash by moving away from timeline animation and using Actionscipt wherever possible. My file consists of several layers. I have used preloaders before but they were pretty basic. I âm comfortable with the framesLoaded and totalFrames coding but don't know what frames to count. I have my preloader in a MovieClip on the first frame of the first layer; therefore, the preloader is a child of the main stage. The other MovieClips are children of the main stage as well.
For example, how would I have the preloader look to a sibling (go up to parent and down to child on second frame of second layer)? I haven't found anything on the forums so maybe I'm going about this wrong. The following is what I have so far; it only goes up to the parent, not down to the child MovieClip I need to preload:
ActionScript Code:
if(MovieClip(parent).framesLoaded < MovieClip(parent).totalFrames){[code]........
I am embedding SWFs into Articulate Presenter for final publishing. Some of the SWFs have child movieclips with animations. How do I stop the child movieclip playhead when the parent timeline is paused from the Articulate controls? I'm thinking there must be an event listener for when the parent timeline stops, which could trigger the child movieclip to stop.
View 1 RepliesLets say I have a Main Document Class called Main. I also have a child class called childClass that call a function from the Main class and is also imported in the Main class. How should I call the function? I tried this , but when calling the function, it's getting me error.
Main class :
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have a very specific AS2 parent/child movie clip issue. I have a main Character movie clip which contains as nested frames each profile of the Character (front,back,left,etc). Within each of these child profile MC frames, animations for those profiles are further nested in frames. Then, essentially I have movement code as part of the key listener:
Code:
switch(Key.getCode()){
case 87:
Character._y -= 10;
Character.gotoAndStop('Back');
Character.gotoAndStop('walk');
break;
[Code] .....
And later code to reset to the character's resting frame after key release:
Code:
switch(Character._currentFrame){
case 5:
Character.gotoAndStop('Back');
break;
[Code] .....
The problem is that when I try to Character.gotoAndStop('Front'); after key release, flash thinks, you're already on the Front frame (because the walk animation is a child of that MC and is already playing). Therefore the walk animation just keeps playing after the key has been released.
This image shows the problem, the 3 is a PNG image with a nice drop shadow that expands quite far from the white square. It is a movieclip which was added by the square movieclip.This obviously changes the size of the movieclip so the ROLL_OVER will trigger whenever the mouse is over either of these objects.My question is, how would I make the movieclip "3" never trigger any sort of mouse event for its parent?
Things that do not work:
mouseEnabled = false; (why doesn't this work?? ugh)
mouseChildren = false;

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();
[code].....
I have created event listeners for a particular movieclip.Insidet this movieclip there is so many objects.When ever I click on the parent movieclip the event listener calls the function for the child object. I had tried removeEventLIstener()
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var info:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
info.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0.35);

I want to delete mc's parent
I am trying to load a swf into a holder movie clip from the child movieclip.It's parent has a holder that i want to load a swf into.I am navigating from within a child clip.It would be nice to have the swfs load from an external xml file but it isn't mandatory.
View 3 Repliesi have a parent movieclip mcA and i want to add another movieclip mcB (child movieclip) inside mcA such that the extra part of mcB is hidden. The size of movieclip remains same as of mcA
For ex:-
mcA = 300x300
mcB = 400x400
then only 300x300 of mcB movieclip is visible and rest of the part is hidden.
i've got a function in a movieclip on the main timeline that i need to call when a button in another movieclip is clicked. is there a way to do this in as3?
View 3 RepliesThis is hard to explain, but basically here goes: have a "frame" movieclip that loads images. I call frame.loadImage(the URL) and everything works. So far so good.When I put "frame" inside of another clip, named "frameHolder", then call frameHolder.frame.loadImage, nothing happens.
