i'm trying to replace text in a dynamic text field within a movie clip, and it seems as if it's treating it like static text. Is there a way around this?
theBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustText1);theBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustText2);function adjustText1(e:MouseEvent):void{ textField1.text = "Foo"; // this works}function
[code]......
i have a dynamic text field that loads a variable into it (just a simple text file). this text file will be updated on occasion. i also have a movie clip to be positioned below the text field, however i want the movie clip to change position depending on how much text is in the text field so there isnt a large gap and so they dont overlap. is this possible? i tried the following actionscript to adjust the size of the text field depending on the amount of text. textField2.autosize = "center"; however i have no idea how to get the y position of the movie clip to adjust accordingly.

It throws this error:

What i'm doing is creating an Inventory System, when you click on an item it is added to your inventory.
I've done that with no problems but id like to add script to the icon of the object. So when you roll over it you see what the object is, through a dynamic text field on stage.
I use this script inside the icon's MC so that when it appears on stage it has its script built into it.[code]...
I've imported 9 .mov files in my flash presentation. Each lasts for about a minute, and the language is english. I have translation of each video clip in Serbian language as .txt files. And now i need that text to go below the movie clip simultaneosly with the voice in movie clip. And for example when i press pause,the text stops,and when i resume it,the text goes again.

I have a looping movie clip and want it to speed up when the mouse rolls over one of the ends. Is there and action script that will do this? Or a different way to get it done? I faked it by making two movies with different number of frames but when you load that movie it starts over and it looks stupid. I have the scrolling animation on the site but want to put that effect on it. Click the first box after the intro to see the animation at the bottom(line of trucks) http:[url].....

View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip to display a clock and a datagrid for showing my schedule. I want my flash to alarm with sound when the time from the clock match one time on the schedule. Here is my actionscript:
Code:
clock_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.timer[i]==_root.clock_mc.clock_txt.text.substr(0,5)) {
alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);
[Code]....
As you can see, I use onEnterFrame to listen and check matching between time on clock and schedule but it will check all the time and when it alarmed it produced sound all the time while the time is matched. I would like my flash to alarm only one or few times.
I want to have my character walk around in a faux 3-d space using the arrow keys on the keyboard. When the character walks away it becomes smaller and when it walks closer it becomes larger. I have put together a script that pretty much does what I want - except the ratio of the height and width of the MovieClip do not stay the same. It becomes fatter as it walks away and skinner as it comes closer. Here is my main script:
[Code]...
I think the problem is with the operator here: ratio = this._height/this._width; The slash between "height" and "this" seems to be what is giving me trouble. Maybe I should be writing some other script entirely? I am not very good at script writing.

I have movie clips which I made act as buttons, (Previous, Pause/Play, Next).[code]...
The button is a non-filled circle with the proper symbol in the center.
I am going to add themes to my application, where people can choose a pre-selected theme, which will load all info through a xml file (background-image, button colors, scrubber colors, etc).
How would I change the colors of the buttons in my movie clip? They are pre drawn images, that are stored in my library.
It it posible to change the movie clip name with code.Something likemc1._name = 'mc2';

I am creating a flash presentation for school. I am unable to solve this problem, that keeps on pestering me.The problem is:I am trying to create a touch screen calibration movie clip.

View 1 Replieshow I change the direction of a movie clip. And how to make it change in the same it's moving.
I have random movement code on the clip, I just want it to rotate, in the direction it goes.
I am about to go crazy trying to change the property of a movie clip. Could someone tell me why this doesn't work:
movieheight = _root._level1.project._height
_root._level1.mytext = movieheight
-movieheight is a variable in the movie which has been loaded into level1. -project is a movie clip (I made sure I named it properly). -mytext is a text box in the main timeline of the movie in level1. (I set the variable to mytext for this box too). I have tried to use eval("_root._level1.project.height"), but nothing works - the movie's height never shows up in the text box. Debug > List Variables tells me that movieheight is "undefined".
Here's the code from a button that controls a movie clip on the main page[code]...
The code works fine when the button is on the main timeline. However, I have a new complicated rollover button which is no longer on the main timeline. How do I change the path to the "container" movie clip?
just wondering if there is a script that could let me change the way that a movie clip behaves, for example, I have movie clip "a" and in a certain frame I have the function;
a.onRollOver = function (){
gotoAndPlay ("that");
}
can I later have a script that removes the onRollOver property so that the movie clip is once again JUST a movie clip and not a movie clip button?
I know when you assign an empty movieclip or a movieclip to the stage via actionscirpt you have to set a z depth on the layer.
Is it possible to change the depth of the movie clip? If so how?
How can I change what movie clip an object is contained in after it has been added to the stage? I want a movie clip to start out in the main stage but them move into another movie clip so that when I move the containing movie clip the sub clip moves as well.
View 1 RepliesThis is probably super easy, but it's kind of hard to search for...Basically, I'm working on a site... http:[url]....
index.swf is the navigation, which by default calls forth index2.swf in the movie clip
var l = new Loader(); page.addChild(l); l.load(new URLRequest("index2.swf"));
I want to be able change what external swf is loaded in the movie clip via the URL.So index.swf?url=media would load index.swf with media.swf in the movie clip.

_root.gotoAndPlay("Congrats", 1)
but the scene doesn't change.

seems a little complicated for replacing an image in a movieclip with something else. It seems like a hack actually. Is it really so hard to switch a png (maybe of a different size) in a movieclip with something else? It also appears the livedocs at this time, are down. If it gets any harder I might switch to silverlight if it's not based off hack(ECMA)script
I just start to give the firsts steps in Flash5 ActionScript, then I would like a pacient help, because I can't to do this.I have an intro (Instance Name: logo) and another movieclip (InstanceName: back).The intro starts(logotipo), on the middle they calls the other movie clip(back in tell target "go").

how you can change the colour / tint of a movie clip via code, and essentially via a RGB value specified in an external xml file.
Here is the xml file I'm working with right now...
PHP Code:
<Countdown year="2009" month="2" day="14" bgdcolour="0xFFFFFF" lcdcolour="0xFFFFFF" labelscolour = "0x000000" textcolour = "0x000000">
</Countdown>

The bits highlighted in red bold above is the section where I've got stuck.. I have tried code: var bgdcolour:uint = Countdown.@bgdcolour; , but no luck and all I get is '16777215' in the output panel..
I've got a looping slideshow. I'd like to place a sliding menu at the bottom of the screen. The problem is I've created the slideshow dynamically, and the images being loaded all inherit a depth greater than 0.
how I can place the sliding menu at the very top of the presentation when it's already on the stage?
