ActionScript 3.0 :: Communicating To The Main Timeline From Within A Movie Clip Symbol?
Mar 8, 2008What I have is a situation where I need to play some frames on the main timeline, say to frame 5. I place a movie clip symbol in frame 5 which I want to play (all is working fine so far).Once the Movie clip is finished playing, I want the main timeline to start again.In AS2, I would simply put
_root.play();
Now in AS3, I think it should read
root.play();
but I get an error which reads:call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject
ActionScript 3.0 :: Communicating Between External Swf's And The Main Swf
May 23, 2010how do you get an external swf which has been loaded into the main swf to talk to the main swf?
Like, lets say you load an swf into a container clip inside the main.swf's timeline, but need to get things to happen in the main one from the external one...
in as2 you used to just be able to go, say _parent._parent.main.gotoAndPlay("whatever");
Actionscript 3.0 :: Communicating From One MC To Another Both In Main Timeline
Feb 2, 2009I can't seem to figure out how to get buttons inside of one movieclip on my main timeline to gotoAndPlay frames in another movieclip on that same timeline.basically I have a intro_mc that I have an enter button in.and I would like that to gotoAndPlay a framelabel in a 2nd movieclip (content_mc) the reasons that I have them each in their own mc and not just on the main timeline is becuase I am proportionally scaling each of the mc's to fill the browser window.I have tried to call it with parent child but I am most surely missing something.

May 17, 2007how can i communicate from an external swf to the main sites timeline? im asking cause im a bit confused, i have an external swf with its own buttons etc...and for example if i have a MC with a button that says, on release, go to _root. (whatever frame on the external swfs main timeline)and play (whatever frame) then if im understanding this correctly, then " _root." is to go to the main timeline on whatever swf you are in...but then if i want to access the main sites timeline from the external swfs, how would i achieve that? is it _root. too or something else?

Nov 17, 2011I have a flash banner that includes a movie clip of the logo being animated. I want the logo animation to only run at the beginning of the main "movie". Currently I have to find the length of the entire movie (for ex. 500 frames) then put a key frame in at the 500th frame of the logo movie clip. I know there has to be a correct way to do this...Do I add a frame name at the end of the main timeline and somehow in AS in the logo movie clip say "when you reach X goToAndPlay(1);"?

Feb 1, 2006- i have 3 separate movie clips (a,b,c)
- my main movie is (a) and when i click a button there, it will go to external movie (b)
- under external movie (b) there's a movie clip that includes my animation and content button
- if i click on the content button on movie (b), external movie (c) will pop up [ it will not replace movie (b) but will just overlap it, it's like a small pop up ]
i did the actionscript and when i'm testing external movie (b), it's working... it's showing/popping up movie (c) but when i tried it on the main movie (a), the movie (c) is not popping on the (b) err, sorry if it's a bit confusing / how i explained it. but hopefully somebody will get the idea. and it won't also return on the main movie (a) when i click on a link from the external movie.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Movie And Pass The Variables Needed From The Main Movie
May 28, 2002I'm trying to do a demo with a fastforward button and a rewind button that will go to the next scene and previous scene...however, due to the format that my predecessor created used...I'm stuck with alot of scenes. The navbar (ff and rewind buttons) is in a .swf file called main. The actual demo is in demo3.swf. I created a loader scene to redirect to the correct scene (when ff and rewind are hit), but I'm not sure how to pass the variables needed from the main movie.

Oct 10, 2002I'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Movie Clips Embedded Inside A Movie Clip On The Main Timeline?
Dec 6, 2009I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targetting - Use LoadMovie() To Load Movie Into Main Movie - Buttons No Longer Work
Oct 1, 2003I have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Put Movie Clips Into The Main Movie?
Sep 12, 2003after having read the manual and MANY online tutorials, I can't find a simple, concise, tutorial on how to do the easiest thing possible: how do you put movie clips into the main movie and play them and which scripts do you use to do this?
I know this sounds ridiculous - but there are lots of little idiosyncracies in placing MC's on the timeline.
For example:
1) You can put any movie clip in the first frame and it will play - but if you put it on the second frame or beyond (with no scripts) it won't
2) When to use the stop command on the first frame (I know this is to stop unwanted looping so a MC will play, and to stop other scripts from executing, but it seems to be inconsistent in it's use from what I've seen)
3) whether to use "gotoandplay" or just "play"
4) when you must use target paths and when you can use just a command on the root level
What I want to be able to do is have several layers of movie clips, control them playing, and ideally be able to stagger when they start without moving them around to later frames etc.Is this just too stupid for words or have any of you had trouble in this area when first starting with flash?
