I created an array with movie clips now how can i target one movie clip with event handler function . so that when i clicked on one movie clip a message should be displayed
var ribbonMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); addChild(ribbonMC);
On the main timeline I have another MC which loads a DataGrid mcomponent.I have a ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK attached the DataGrid.When a row is clicked, I want to replace the ribbonMC clip I created with a different MC.However, no matter what I do I cannot seem to properly remove the clip and add it to the main timeline in its place.I have tried getChildByName() in order to grab the clip:
var rmc:DisplayObject = getChildByName("ribbonMC"); (I've tried type MovieClip here too)
But all I seem to get is a null object, so it cannot be unloaded. Even if I did grab it, I cannot seem to figure out how to add my new MC to the main timeline from inside the current movie clip in any event. Since _root is no longer used in AS3.
Basically, I want a speaker (movie clip) to turn off if an answer is correct. I have several text boxes and don't want to write a separate function for each one.Here's what I have so far:
ActionScript Code: function textHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{ var myTargetName = "txt" + event.target.text; if(event.keyCode == 13) {//check if enter is pressed
[code]....
obviously it doesn't work. It sees speakerName as a string value.
Im able to link to a movieclip inside a movieclipUnfortunately one of the movieclips now are a scrollbar and scroll. Now the actionscript isnt working?cal.onPress = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);message1.contentMain.message.total = unit1;
I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I have two movie clips on stage: mc1 and mc2.Within both movie clips, there are 10 frames, all named frame1, frame2, etc.In "mc1" there is one button on each of the frames named btn1, btn2, etc.I'm trying to get it so when a button is pressed, (mc1.btn1 or mc1.btn10) it causes the other movie clip to advance to a certain frame.I've tried this code within the mc1 clip, on the same frame as the button:[code]But get a 1119 error. (Access of a possibly undefined property mc2 through a reference with static type.
1 Movie Clip instancied as a "cursor" 1 Movie Clip instancied as a "Mc_Obstacles" with others 5 Movie Clipsand the 5 Movie Clips inside the "Mc_Obstacles" are instancied as "Obstacle" , all with the same instance...I want this: when the mc "cursor" hit one of mcs "obstacles" gotoandstop to frame X then i did in frame with actions in another layer:
The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?
I have two movie clips on my main time line. There is a button in movie clip 1 that I want to target to movie clip 2... and it's not working for me. I'm assuming that when I'm in movie clip 1, I need to tell it to go back up to the main time line, and into the movie clip 2.The site that does the same exact thing I'm trying to do is this tutorial:The buttons and the page area are two seperate movie clips, but the buttons in the button movie clip target to the page area movie clip.This is the code that I'm thinking I'm getting an error with:Code:MovieClip(root).eyecarePage.gotoAndPlay(10);- where eyecarePage is the Instance Name of the movie clip where I want the button to target to, and once it's in that movie clip, I want it to go and play frame 10 and on... but instead I get a #1009 error.
So the display list seems to indicate that I have 6 movie clips on the stage. PROBLEM: When I try to target the movie clips by name in adding the following code for example: image2.apha = 0; I get an error: 1120: Access of undefined property image2. What I don't get is: image2 is a movieclip and a movieclip has a property of alpha?
Seeing that the tellTarget function has been "deprecated" (I don't see why), how can I target a movie clip?I have a button on a frame on the main timeline, which I want to link to a movie clip that has been placed in another frame (still on the main timeline).
When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded?
FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.
I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.
What I am trying to do is set up a 4x5 grid of boxes. Inside each box is 1) an image 2) four arrow keys 3) a text field to enter the code corresponding to the image. The idea is that someone could enter product codes into each text field, and be able to save this information in an external xml file. If they wanted to change the order, but keep an image, they could just use the arrow keys to move the product around the grid.
Where I am running into problems is I can put the boxes up on the screen in a grid. I can give each box an instance name. But I haven't yet been able to discover a way to address a movie clip (say one of the arrow buttons) which is a child of the original movieclip place by my for loops. Ideally I am looking for a way find, target and change values:
im currently trying to target frame 2 and a movieclip on that frame This works. But now im trying to target a movieclip inside a movie clip.This code works when trying to target one movieclip.cal.onPress = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);message.total = unit1;}how can i edit that code to find another movieclip inside the movieclip message?
Can you pause a movie clip, let's say movie clip A, from inside a seperate movie clip, let's say movie clip B. B is not a parent of A.
Essentially, I have a background slideshow running that I want to stop when a menu item is clicked, and an external swf file is loaded. I attached a jpg which diagrams how the movie clips are organized within each other and what I want to pause from within which movie clip:
If this is not feasible, I'd love if anyone could reccomend a better way to structure the movieclips.
I�d be grateful if anyone can answer what should be a simple problem. I�m building a Flash program that has many movie clips (like they all do). At one stage I need to duplicate a specific movie clip and make it appear in another movie clip.
PS: The movie clip needs to be added by actionscript as it is made on the fly in the program, hence it cant be in the original .fla file � if that makes sense.
I made a movieclip to put the blocks(which are movieclips too) in a breakout clone.lets give the container movieclip the instance name "container"the blocks are preset in that container with their own instance names...what I want to do is a hittest with those blocks but I found out that.[code]
I was decent at AS2 and now that I am trying to figure out AS3 I am realizing that it is all grown up and I was left in the dust.I am trying to do the most simple thing. 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 have a movie clip "origblock" inside another movie clip "blocks". I'd like to duplicate origblock so that the new block is inside clip "blocks". however, when I do it, it shows up in _root. I've embedded my duplicate code below (take note that it references a variable "j", which is the variable of a for loop that this code is inside):
Im trying to create a button that on rollover runs a scale up movie clip...and then on click runs a separate movie clip...and on 2nd click navigates to another pageIve created a button with the rollover state, then tried adding movie clip to the down state but it overwrites the over state.Ive also tried creating a movie clip, with the rollover inside this movie and the 2nd movie inside this movie...i dont seem to be able to get the 2 inner objects to work together.
