Quick question (I hope) I am switching from as2 to as3.
In as2 I could create a movieClip and give it an eventlistener type functionality and function like so:
myDynamiclyCreatedMc.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
// do stuff
}
How do you do the same thing in as3?
I am trying to to attach a function with parameters to the timer but it says "unrelated type function" is there any way to get around this??
code example:
var redoTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
redoTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, saySomething("helloo"));
redoTimer.start();
this wont seem to work but is there a way to pass on arguments???
I'm parsing XML file and draw some objects. Each object has it's own class which name is stored in another XML. I also have some .as files with those classes, f.ex[code]...
I'm not shure how to do this. Is it possible to give dynamic names to the types like, khm obj:{classname}=new {classname}?
is it possible for me to give a movieclip the same position as another movieclip. meaning they will be on top of eachother and when one moves the other moves as well.i know you can do it with the mouse:[code]It would be a great way to cheat the program as im having some problems, but this would fix it. the 2 movieclips though is in a class and the other is on the stage.

What is the best way to create buttons to give content a scrolling function.The functionality is provided by ScrollPane, where content, images etc. can be used and scrolled but aesthetically buttons are preferred.There is actionscript for creating scrollable text fields with buttons, but it requires constant clicking and only applies to text. Just mentioning this if there is something similar to attain the functionality of ScrollPane for content.

What I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.

When i put a movieclip on the stage, every time i do that, i have to click on it, press f9 (to show the movieclip actions pannel) and past a code on it... and i will use this movielcip a lot of times in my project, so, everytime i put it on the stage i have to put the code on it again... is there a way to attribute the same code to my movieclip (automatically) everytime i put my mc on the stage?
View 8 RepliesIs there any way to dynamically give a movieclip an instance name? This little process is gonna be spread out to a couple hundred dots, and while it's not really all that hard to type in the variable by hand (in fact it'd "only" take half an hour or so), but the more done dynamically the better, I think.
What I want to do is have a simple movie clip which checks it's own instance name as a variable, and then gotoAndPlay("thatvariable");. For example, say I have a movie clip with instance name "a1". On the clip I'd like to put
onClipEvent (load) {
this.gotoAndPlay(_root.a1); //but in place of "_root.a1",
I'd like to be able to call the instance name so that I can copy and paste the code to multiple movieclips without manually changing the name.
}
_root.a1 is a variable which contains the name of a frame inside of a1, so when you boil it down, it's just telling itself to gotoAndPlay("framename") in a roundabout way. Is this at all possible?

View 1 RepliesI want to have a class(Generator) generating MovieClips and inside these Clips are buttons with Listeners. Another class(Main) can get the Clips generated and add them to the stage. The problem is if I add the Listener to the Button in the Generator class, i don't get the event. I do get the Event if I get the Button from the Generator and add the Listener in the Main class.

View 5 RepliesI'm working on building a 'cover flow' similar to the scroll through iTunes uses for it's album covers. The only difference is my 'cover' needs a background MovieClip that will sit behind it and animate when the images are scrolled to get it a 3D effect. So I have a MovieClip I'm exporting called coverflowItem. This is the movie clip that will sit behind each 'cover' image and have the timeline I want to control from a different .as file. That file is called coverflow.as where all of the elements are assembled and animated.
What I need to do now is find out how to control each instanced coverflowItem so when the arrow buttons are clicked, not only do the covers slide to the appropriate side which they are currently doing now, but also have the associated MovieClip play giving the 3D illusion. I can call the functions from the coverflowItem.as in the coverflow.as but have had no luck actually getting the movie clips to play properly.
//Create CoverflowItem
var cover:CoverflowItem=new CoverflowItem(_data);
This code lets me assess the functions but not actually manipulate the MovieClip. I'm sure my logic if flawed.
I've created a movie clip. Loaded an image and added it to the movie clip. Then added the movie clip to the stage:
var one:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var firstTestImage:Loader = new Loader();
firstTestImage.load(new URLRequest("testImage1.png"));[code]............
Now I want the movie clip to have an eventlistener that will trace when clicked:
one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, linkto);
function linkto(event:MouseEvent):void

I'm trying to create a fairly simple website entirely in flash. I have navigation on the left (Home, and Shapes) and when you click on Shapes, two things change: my main content called mcContent (which is a movieClip) changes to its second frame (called shapes) and you see a few shapes. Below the main content is another movieclip called mcBottom which does something similar, goes to it's second frame (called shapes) and you see two shapes, a red and green square.The problem is that I want the user to be able to click the red square and have the red square movieclip called mcRed go to it's second frame (called mcRedContent) but it doesn't work. I believe it has something to do with the hierarchy of my objects but I can't seem to figure it out. The error that I get when compiling is:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at trouble_fla::mcBottom_4/frame1()Here is a link to the fla:
