I was working on a little code in which I am inserting a few movieclips within a scroll pane and then user is able to drag stuff(a movieclip) from stage to the movieclips inside the srollpane.
[Code].....
I have a function that states when movieclip1 is dragged and hits a line then it stops the drag, however it seems to stop the entire drag function in the swf on the other movieclips even though they arent called in the function.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a scrollpanel that lives inside a movie clip both created dynamically.When I add the scrollpanel to movieclip without setting it's x and y properties it adds fine but is located to the far right. I would like to add the scroll panel with it's x and y properties offset from the movieclip such as
SP.x = mc.x + 20
Here's my problem whenever I change the X and Y properties either directly or using SP.move(x,y) the scroll panel disapears and I can't figure out why.[code]...
I'm making an animation with movie clips inside the stage but if i put action in the end of these for go to another frame in the stage, dosnt let me because AS3.0 doesn't allow script inside buttons and MC's. The new code from AS3.0 is so different to AS2.

View 1 RepliesI am using a drag n drop (snap into place) routine. MC1 is dragged onto mc2. I want a button on mc2 to make mc1 go to its original position and reset itself. As it is mc1 goes to frame 2 where the frame is empty.
View 1 RepliesI have written the drag and drop function for a movie clip this movie clip has a animation inside of it, this is on a seperate layer. When i play the swf, the animation and the movie clip it was inside become individual objects. How do I make these two objects into one entity?
View 1 RepliesI have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;
_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?
I have created app where images are loaded from xml and displayed onscreen as elements, which can be dragged onto a different 'holder' MovieClip. On successful drop the 'holder' movie generates dynamic movieclip as 'mc' and adds a larger version of the droped image. so i can have multiple child of 'holder' everytime a element is dropped.
now i have created a button, on click of which all the elements should be removed. for which I am using the following code
while (mainFrame_mc.imgArea.holder.numChildren > 0){ mainFrame_mc.imgArea.holder.removeChildAt(0); }
this code is removing the child clips as required but later when i again drop another element. nothing shows up. Unable to understand why is this happening. The holder movie clip is physically present on the stage where as only its child movie clips are added dynamically.
On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
I dragged and dropped my movie clip on to the stage, and it doesn't play. Other movie clips play, but the one I need to use doesn't play. I even added a function that is supposed to play the clip when you click on another clip, and it doesn't work although others do. I've attached the fla for reference, the clip that I'm trying to use is wipe3.

I have a movieclip with about 50 other movieclips inside it and I want to set all their visibility to false (I can't do this to the parent because I will need to eventually just show one of the movieclips at a time). Is there any type of method I can use to apply, something like mymc.allchildmcs.visibility = false or mymc.mychildmc[i].visibility = false;
View 2 RepliesThe proposed task has to do with the creation of an application in which the user will be able to insert, drag&drop and remove rectangles. The properties of each rectangle (name,x,y) should be saved in an xml instance.
1.Create a vertical toolbar with the above buttons:
a.new rectangle
b.move
c.delete
2.Create a movieclip that will be your workspace on the right of your toolbar named stage.
3.Create a function that will be triggered by the new rectangle button and will attach to the stage rectangles as movieclips named rectangle(i) (rectangle1, rectangle2,...).
4.Create a function that will be triggered by the move button and will drag and drop a selected rectangle.
5.Create a function that will be triggered by the delete button and will remove a selected rectangle.
And what I have done so far is:
i = 1;
newrectangleButton.onRelease = function() {
stageMC.attachMovie("rectangleID", "rectangle"+i, i);
stageMC["rectangle"+i]._x = Math.random()*stageMC._x;

i have a movieclip within a movieclip within a movieclip... i want to simply tell flash to play that movieclip once i click on it.. however, i get an error saying "1120: Access of undefined property tl_character" when i try to publish the file..[code]i know there might be a solution by using a custom class for "police1" but i'd like to know how i could play that movieclip using a function thats written on the main timeline..
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a way to remove a movieclip from the stage when it is dropped (after a pause) and then have a new random movieclip appear at a specific point on the stage, which can then be dragged and dropped onto its own target (which repeats the process).

I have a picture that I want to be my background. So I put it around the stage, but when I test my movie in a web browser, only my stage shows. Is there a way I can get it to all show? I don't really care if my background is cut off, as long as you can see it, because it's a tile sort of picture.

That's coming from a separate external .fla file not inside my Gaia project. I currently have a Gaia 3.2.6/FP10/AS3 project with Timeline animation that I just made up today.The problem is that when I copy and paste those graphic symbols (not the background), into the 1st frame of my home.swf of my Gaia project, the preloader freezes at 50% on the home page.
When I remove the forms from my seperate external .fla file, then copy and paste them into the 1st frame of my Gaia project, the preloader freezes at 100%.When I draw a square onto the first frame of home.swf, the page loads normally.

I'm working with arrays again and i have a question for the smart I have an array with 10 references to a movie clip in my library and a timer that add one of these movie clips to the stage every second (Without removing them from the array). When the movie clips are added to the stage they will be touching another movie clip that has an instancename. I want to perform a hit test between the movie clip on the stage and the added movie clips from my array that will lead to some actions.
My question is: Is it possible to hit test the movieclips in the array with the movieclip on the stage with a few simple lines of code? I'd hate to have to give each of them an instance name. I know this is what classes are for but i really hoped i could avoide using them for this project ( stupid classes!) I'm looking for something like this in code: if any movieclip in my array hit test a specific movieclip on stage

What do I have to do to get the button to work? I view the swf and there is no active button.
I need the button inside the clip to be active.
I created "symbol1" movie clip. And I have dynamic text "myscore" on the main stage.
I have this code inside of "symbol1".
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, b1);
function b1(event:MouseEvent):void {
myscore.text = "30";
}
And it gives me this error. (1120: Access of undefined property myscore.)
It works only when text and actionscript inside of the same symbol. I tried like this root.myscore.text = "30"; but it still doesn't work.
I added a movieclip and named "bot_mc" in another movieclip. Then, In Action panel, I use bot_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOWN, xxxx). However, when I drag and drop the container movieclip on the main stage and compile. There is no error occurs but the MouseEvent doesn't work.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a portfolio site that loads external images and swfs (using loadClip). Many of the swfs are banners that have stuff that's viewable off the stage...whoever developed them wasn't smart enough to mask it off, and I don't have the source files.
The first problem I have is the extra stuff is showing up when i load it. The second is that its messing up the width and height properties of the clip (which I need to use to resize a frame that fits around the loaded swf/image). Is there anyway to get the size that the swf document was actually set to with actionscript? That way I can set up a mask. Otherwise I think I'd have to manually create an fla with a mask and correct size for each existing swf that externally loads that swf. Unless anyone can think of a better solution?
How Do I Change Stage Frame From Inside MovieClip?

I have a MovieClip that I want the user to be able to drag inside the stage, but I don't want it to be able to move outside the stage. Currently I'm using this._parent.startDrag(); to allow the MC to be dragged, but I don't know how to stop it from being dragged outside the frame.
View 1 RepliesHow do I connect to the same class from the stage as well as from inside a MovieClip?
In other words: I've set a document class in my properties panel - I cannot access the class's methods from inside an MC. Why?
What are the different ways to connect a fla-file to a class (as-file)?
I've been playing around with AS3 for a few years now, but always avoided classes. But now the day has come for me to finally trying to get a hold of it.
I was wondering if it's possible to change the frame of a movieclip (present on the stage) by going on a certain frame or clicking a button in the main movie, if you get what I mean. Let's just say I want to go to frame 2 in movieclip "Symbol". Also, would it be possible to do the opposite and go to a frame in the main movie from a movieclip?
