What I'm trying to do is control movieclips that are within a movie clip I have added to the stage.
First I did this:
var navcon:NavigationContainer_mc = new NavigationContainer_mc;
addChild(navcon);
This worked fine. But within this there is a mc called printBtn_mc that I want to target.I tried to declare it as a variable like I did with NavigationContainer_mc, but it doesn't work.
I am making a web site in flash in which I have multiple movie clips.I have mc_buttonMenu on the main timeline.Inside of mc_buttonMenu, I have 3 buttons that are all button symbols.From the main timeline, I have a movie clip called mc_allPages.In this movie clip, I have a few layers.I have the content layer.This layer controls how my pages display.I have another layer called labels.I labeled frames 1 to 10 as 'home' and layers 11 to 20 as 'contactUs'.I have another layer in mc_allPages called actions.I put a stop(); on frame 10 and frame 20 on this layer.I want to be able to control the movie clip mc_allPages from within the movie clip mc_buttonMenu.I put some action script in various places, but it never worked.I tried this action script:
_root.btn_home.onPress()
{
Gotoandplay("home");[code]...........
I tried placing that code on the main timeline, inside mc_allPages, inside mc_buttonMenu and split up into both buttons appropriately for btn_home and btn_contactUs.Sometimes the animation would stop on frame 10 and sometimes it would just play through to frame 20 and ignore the stop(); I put on frame 10 inside the mc_allPages movie clip.However, whenever I pressed the button ( btn_contactUs ), it never went to the frame labeled "contactUs" in the allPages movie clip.
I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.

View 26 RepliesOk, in a nuthsell I am looking to write a piece of actionscript using an included PHP file that connects to a mySQL databse. Depending on the result of the database, I want to know if its possible for the actionscript to then control a movie clip.Ok I'm probably not making an awful lot of sense, so I'll basicaly lay out what I want to perform (if it is at all possible).The flash file will essentialy be a map of the world and will list certain ports (i.e. New York Harbour, London Harbour, Sydney Harbour). The flash file then connects to a database to find out if each harbour has a sailing ship present. If a ship is present at the harbour, a movie clip of a ship would be turned on for that particular harbour, if no ship is present the movie clip would remain hidden.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a rollover activated animation ( i think it is 40 frames) and the animation will play, then stop at a predetermined location, when you roll "out" of that button the movie clip should play back to the original(start) position. but if you roll over another button, it will move to position... and react the same with each buttons.I uploaded a fla for a more comprhensive explanation, considering i've been working for the past 15 hours, my englis idn't whud id wons wus.i've tried a few different ways to imitate this, but each has made me mad and i have to have a working demo by friday, otherwise i'd take my time and try a few more methods but i still have the rest of the damn thing to put together, tons of animations.

If movie A is loaded and I click button B, I need movie A to do a small animation where it zooms out and once that is done movie B can zoom in.
My question is probably very simple, all I am trying to do is control "myMovie_mc".I have created four buttons "up_btn", "down_btn" etc.I can get the movie clip to move each time I rollover a button.How do I get continuous movement when I keep my cursor over a button?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get an invisible button to control the timeline of a movie clip. On rollOver, I want my movie, clipA, to move foward 1 frame for every fps that the user is over the button, starting with frame 40, until clipA reaches frame 50. Then on the rollOut I want clipA to move backward 1 frame for every fps that the user is off the button until it goes back to frame 40.
I was trying to use _currentframe+=1 & _currentframe-=1, but i got no response.

View 4 RepliesIn Flash CS3 using Action Script 3, how can I tell the main timeline to gotoAndStop(); a certain frame from within a movie clip.
I have a menu (which is a movie clip) with various buttons. Each button corresponds to a certain frame in the main movie. So if a user click on Button1, it should gotoAndStop(1); and Button2 should gotoAndStop(2); and so on.
In Action Script 2, I could use _root.gotoAndPlay(2); from what I understand, but that does not work in Action Script 3.
I have five audio clips that need to be played when their corresponding button is clicked, but need to be stopped when the same button is clicked or when another one is clicked and when the user clicks out of the movie clip to get back to the main interface.
So far I've been trying to tinker with this:
var sound1:Sound = new Yield();
var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel;
numberThree.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThis);

I have a Flash movie as2 that has a main movie that loads other movie clips into a Flash Window .I need to control the actions for the Flash Window movie from the main movie.As the movie in the Window is not on the stage until runtime ,how do i communicate to it from the main movie time line.example:Play the main movie and you click on a button that moves a ball across the stage ,at the same time a window pops up with a linked movie clip embedded in it that will change color when the ball on the stage reaches a specific point.The movie is alot more complicated than that ,as it is a aircraft system simulation. Where the pop is a circuit diagram of the action and the main movie is a flow diagram of the same function.
