I am creating something that uses separate .as and .fla files, and I was wondering if there would be a way to place a textfield inside a movieclip, and then be able to control it from the code, for instance, I want to make an achievement animation that pops up whenever I tell it to, but I want it to say different things, while the text is also animated
View 6 RepliesAs stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I had a 2 frame setup with some actionscript for each frame. Tried to move it all into one class file and a
1. frame .fla. ; Hiding and showing the resp. moviclips when i virtually move from frame 1 to frame
2. Now I get these ...Error #1069: Property edit_panel_mc not found on flash.display and there is no default value. errors or..
when i thought beeing clever adding the stage. prefix ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property edit_panel_mc not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value. The mc's are on the stage... i have a single .as classfile. Why cant I reference them? or how should i do it/ what should i do to change it from beeing .fla script to class script.
I see a lot of tutorials about coding actionscript 3 when they use all the code in a Class.I keep thinking every time why they use it in a class, instead of using actionscript on the stage.why it is more functional to code a class instead of putting code in the stage actionscript?

View 3 RepliesI tried to control a background music volume using this code
soundInstance = new Sound();
soundInstance.attachSound("1");
soundInstance.start(0,999);[code]....
"1" is a linkage identifier. everything works perfect...music plays and volume decreases.but not only the attached sound... the whole movie volume changes even the swf I've loaded in my clip. I just need to control the background music("1" linkage) not all the sounds. what's the problem here? how can I make this happen?

View 2 Repliesbasically i want an action to take place when my mouse is within a certain amount of pixels of the edge of the screen (or boundaries). I know the AS2 code, but need it in AS3.I realise that listeners are going to be needed, so if anyone is kind enough to help me out convert this code
heres the as2 code:
root.onEnterFrame = function

View 12 Replieshow to create the proper Actionscript code that will control the Alpha Transparency of a MC I want as a preloader. I want the MC to start of at 100% alpha-transparency, and then decrease to 0% alpha-transparency when the whole Scene is loaded. Also, it should show the precentage of the Scene loaded. I have the code that I thought would work to control the alpha transparency of the mc and loading it. But, I get confused with the perloader code to incorporate into the alpha transparency code? Does this make sense; is it possible?In Leaman's Terms, As the scene loads, the mc goes from invisible to visible at completion of the scene load.
Here is the code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
[code]....
Now, I have no idea if and where you'd include the poper code to control the mc's alpha transparency based on the percentage of the scene loaded? Can someome maybe rework the code to make this work. And use a working example, that way I see it working to fully understand the concept? The mc's instance name is "sm_logo". Where would I use the instance name in this code, or better yet the proper code alltogether?
I'm trying to control the information that will be shown in the textBox that is located in one of the frames of the movieClip but it seems that in actionScript 3.0 the code has changed. does anyone know what is the new code for doing it? My aim is that if I define a "var" on the stage and get a certain letter in that var then that letter will be shown in the movieClip in the key Frame that the textbox was set

I need it because my flash is auto re-sizable to the browser width & height. And when the smoke go above the stage my swf file starts shrink and gets very small.

View 1 RepliesLet's say you have a great end product, but you want to make it more processor friendly by eliminating stage listeners that have no reason for existing at certain times. I'm not sure how to execute them. I know that encapsulating listeners in a way that they aren't called until they are needed can be done to conserve the processor...but:
1) Is there a way to kill any event listener that exits the stage area?
2) Is there a way to kill any event listener that gets completely covered by another movie clip? Say there was a MouseEvent.CLICK listener on movie clip "A", but movie clip "B" has a higher index and covers every click-able area of "A".

I'm aware that ActionScript 3.0 is designed from the ground up to be a largely object-oriented language and using it means less or even no timeline code in Flash documents.I'm quite experienced with OOP and am comfortable writing classes. However, since I mostly use Flash for animations, I hardly ever need to write ActionScript code other than for preloaders, subtitles, quality controls, website links and so on. In fact, I still set my Flash movies to use AS2 to this day because I'm used to gotoAndPlay()/gotoAndStop(), AS2 preloaders, subtitles, quality controls and even getURL(). Of course, I really want to move on now that practically everyone's on Flash Player 9 or 10 and now that I've dabbled with other OO languages like Java, C# and Objective-C too.
I'm a complete newcomer to AS3 and am not very learned with AS2 either. Considering my current use of ActionScript, are there any cases where it's still OK to use very simple AS3 code in the timeline instead of moving code to a class, especially since moving to a class might mean unnecessarily increasing the number of LOC from 4 to 40?
