ActionScript 3.0 :: Controling MovieClip With One Function
Oct 7, 2009
I am working on building an accordion style menu using Tweener. I have 3 movieClips on my stage, I can add a tween to each but I need a little help getting the menu items to end in the correct position. In my code below this line tells the movieClip to move to a position of y=25. Tweener. add Tween(mc,{y:25, time:1});I changed mc to box1 and box2 which makes evey thing move when I click, but how do I set up my function so I can click box1 and it will slide up and then click box2 and it slides up.[code]

I have this function :
Code:
function swapstate(newpage) {
for(var a in nav_left){
if (nav_left[a]._name != newpage) {
[Code]....
As you can see, it's made in order to change the look of a button when clicked and to also show a different look to the other buttons in the same movieclip container.
The problem is that gotoAndStop isn't triggered.

Here's what the home page looks like with the controls built in URL...This example is the site it has a menu page that I open the others from I remove the resizing code from the home page and try to resize from menu.swf.[code]

I have a site that presently has a preloader @ the beggining but takes too long to load everything. The main section has a sliding menu that triggers various movies containing photos and animations I have decided to extract all of the project items as SWF files and call them when required.The challenge I now have is that previously when an item was selected from from the menu it would send the play head to a new frame that had the the movieclip; this movie had an instance name which enabled me to use the 'close' button embedded in it and send the play head back to the sliding gliding menu.[code]

For example: I have a graphical interface created in Flash AS3 which is simulating the control of machines on the ocean floor. I have 3D animations that will animate what is happening on the ocean floor when a control element is activated on the graphical interfaceAt the moment I have this happening all in one Flash player window that has been made to look like two windows. One which is the interface...one that is made to look like a small screen showing what looks like video coming in from a camera on the ocean floor.
What I need to be able to do is have the Control Screen as one window, and the animations to appear in another. In this way we can set up two monitors, have the control screen on one (computer monitor), the animations playing on the other (a large plasma connected to the same computer). The animations need to play within a flash shell and the control screen would need to play in a separate shell. So in essence I need to be able to double click on an .exe....two screen will activate showing one screen with buttons that port animations into the second screen which I have positions to play on the larger screen.

Is it possable to load an external swf file, that is a rotating movie into another file and still control it??example:I have a rotating object which I want to pause and play. I have loaded the rotating object into a window using the loadMovie command. I now want to be able to use the play and stop buttons to control therotation.Because the movie has been loaded into the window from a different location it does not have a path to target the play and the stop command to also tried adding the play and stop buttons on the rotating object movie swf file. They load and are pressable, but dont do anything?

Got a pitcular problem/question and im not sure it is possible. Im creating a project that enables the viewer to access a load of files (Pdf's and doc's) through flash. The problem is, these files will be added to and taken from about 4 times a year and there is anywhere from 2 to 20 folders in each folder containing these files.so What I want to do is have an image that when clicked on opens a new box that has links in it that these links are displayed from an xml or html then I need to have that code tell flash to open another box that has links displayed from another XML of HTML that has the links to the actual files being called.i guess the question is:Can flash be controlled by a link called from out side of flash?

Note the button at the top called portfolio, on mouseover this button should loop through the "mouseover" label section, and when the user takes the mouse off of it it should continue to play through what it has started, and stop at the begining of the mouseover labelhen the user clicks on the button it should play through the "trans" label (only once) and begin to loop at the label section "current" when the user goes to another section, for example, clicks another button besides portfolio, the animation should stop on the label "visited" my code for it to loop looks like this (on the invisible button over the movie clip)
on (rollOver) {
portfolioBtn_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
}

I have a movieclip with an instance name of "clip1" with another movie clip with an instance name of "clip2_sub" which is inside of "clip1".all I am trying to do is stop and start the "clip2_sub" movie clip from the main timeline.I know in AS2 you just would do something like clip1.clip2_sub.stop(); I am trying to figure out why this doesnt work in AS3. I get the error of 1120:Access of undefined property clip1

I am trying to put a command in one of my movieclips (mc1) that will say: When mc2 is at frame 20 (or has done a function assigned previously), gotoandplay frame 5 (in mc1). I am going to be putting this code inside the mc1. I am trying to design my button (mc1) to dim when mc2 or mc3 is clicked (and mc2 to dim when mc1 or mc3 is clicked, etc.) I have the dim tween on frame 5, and the clicked frame on frame 20, in my example.

How I wish there was a book written in layman's terms for AS3 I have great dictionary for AS2 wish there was an AS3 equivalent.I know that _root is dead in AS3.I have a movieClip called "mcClimber" which is inside a movieClip called "mcMountain04". The climber mountain clip has a bone tween of a guy doing a climbing motion.When it hits frame 40 in mcClimber, I want it to tell mcMountain04 to go to the nextFrame.That's all.Why is this so difficult in AS3?I've looked at the online Adobe literature and it's so poorly written for laymen my eyes glaze over and I end up looking elsewhere.
I have tried this: MovieClip(parent).mcMountain04.nextFrame(); But I get an error saying MovieClip is not a function.
