ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Labelled MovieClip On Stage From A Child .as File

Jun 20, 2009

I have an FLA file with a movieclip on the stage which is labelled "blok", and a button on the stage labelled "button1". This FLA is attached to a file called main.as through the document class.

In the same folder where I am storing main.as I have a second .as file called secondFile.as. I have imported this class into main.as using: import com.tests.secondFile;

and in the constructor of main.as I have put:

loadB=new secondFile(button1);
addChild(loadB);

Within secondFile.as my constructor looks like this:

public function secondFile(button1:SimpleButton){
button1=button1;
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonPushed);
}

[Code]....

Basically I'm trying to get the MovieClip labelled "blok" to move by 50 pixels on the stage when button1 is pressed, but when I test my FLA I get the following error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property blok through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.

I would have thought that this.parent.blok would control my movieclip labelled blok on the stage of my FLA from within secondFile.as since secondFile.as is a child of main.as which is the document class of my FLA, but obviously this is not right.

how to access labelled items on the stage from within a child object.

IDE :: Controlling An FLV Component In A Child?

Nov 17, 2009

I have been trying all day to find a solution to this, to no avail.. My project has a frame built in flash that loads an external swf via the addChild command. In that external swf, there is an FLV playback component that plays videos on the video tab. (There are home, video, web and contact tabs all in the parent swf) What I want, is for the FLV component to stop playing the video when one of the other tabs is clicked in the parent swf..

Loaded Child Movie Controlling Container Parent

May 14, 2009

i'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame.
as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Movieclip From Main Timeline & Child?

Sep 26, 2010

This code is currently contained within my "mc_1" movieclip. I want to be able to have this code on my main timeline, however no matter what I try I constantly get errors, multiple different versions. I've tried adding mc_1 infront of everything, but that just gives an output error about a Sprite.Also, I'm currently using visible to control whether the back image to the textbox should show - What I'd really like to do is control it using a child, but they're movieclips not buttons, so when I try to addChild within the function it errors saying I'm trying to control a movieclip within a simplebutton function.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
mc_textbox.visible = false;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listening For Custom Event Dispatched From Parent Object In Child Object?

I want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:

ActionScript Code:[code]....

So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Object In Another Movie

Mar 6, 2009

I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I can't get it to work. I have a main movie and in one frame I am loading in another swf. The user goes through the activity in the loaded swf and then needs to continue on in the main movie. I've added code in the last scene of the loaded swf that I thought would allow it to navigate to the next frame in the main movie:

PHP Code:
function next4(evt:MouseEvent):void {
this.parent.parent.gotoAndStop(4);
} continue2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, next4);

But when I play the main movie, I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at ELC_fla::MainTimeline/frame3()
I have tried to communicate to the continue button in the loaded swf from the main movie, but that didn't work either.

Controlling The Final Size Of A Sprite Object?

Feb 1, 2012

I'm rendering a xps file using flash (no MX or Spark), and I'm running into a sort of 'contradiction' that I'm unable to solve. [Note, that I'm trying to work only in core flash (e.g. Sprite, Shape, etc.), I've already solved (sort of) this issue using Spark.]

The pages of the xps file specify an explicit size. However, the content described (especially paths) in the xps file can sometimes extend outside of this area.

The problem is, I want the parent Sprite to have the size specified by the xps file, for example so scroll bars match the page size (not the sprite size), but in some cases the Sprite is much larger than this.

I've tried recursively going down and scaling everything UP, and then at the end scaling the parent container DOWN. Unfortunately, this causes translation problems with paths, and I assume it can also cause problems with bitmaps, etc.

Without using MX or Spark, is there anything I can do to control the size of the parent Sprite, other than scaling all the children independently?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Alpha For An Object On The Timeline?

Sep 14, 2011

I recently bought an mp3-player coded in Flash and it works great, except for the fact that I do not want it to appear constantly on the timeline.

The mp3-player is generated throught code, so I was wondering if there is a way to control the alpha of a variable named mp3playerContainer and set it to 0? I have navigation points on frame 25 and 55 where I want this mp3player to not be visible. Could it be an idea to use "currentFrame", so that if currentFrame equals 25 or 55, then alpha of the variable mp3playercontainer will be set to 0?

In my externally loaded swf.s are a pause and play button which work perfectly using only:

Now I want to add a 'Mute' button so that the user can turn off the audio. What script would I use for this?
 
I also want to use a 'Rewind' or 'Restart' button to return to the beginning of my movie and begin playback again. What script would be used instead of .play?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Text File Controlling Movie Timeline?

Mar 11, 2010

I have a movie where on the main timeline stage I have placed a movie clip (Clip1) and a dynamic text field. I have a .txt document that contains a variable that will always be a number (Var1).
 
Currently, the dynamic text field reads Var1 and displays that number. This is great, but I want Var1 to be used in 2 places:
 
How can I get Clip1 to also read Var1 and, based on the number that is Var1, play a certain frame of Clip1?
 
I'd like it to go like this: If Var1 is <1000 then play frame1, If Var1 is =1000 and <2000 then play frame2, If Var1 is =2000 and <3000 then play frame3, and so on...
