ActionScript 3.0 :: Frame Actions On A Child?

Jul 13, 2009

This is just a stripped down version of my problem that im using for troubleshooting purposes. I thought id try and make up a basic script to get the core of it working and then apply it to the file that im having this problem with later just to simplify things.So what im trying to do here is that ive got a MovieClip in my library called mc_brian that ive exported for action script with the class of Brian. The mc_brian movie clip has 2 frames, both with stop actions on them.So ive created my variable newBrian and loaded the Brian class into it, positioned it and added it to the stage via the addChild display object.Then im assigning newBrian an instance name and tracing the instance name, which of course returns "brian1":

Code:
var newBrian:Brian = new Brian();
newBrian.y = newBrian.x = 100;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Frame Actions Not Working On Child Movieclips

Mar 13, 2009

I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.

All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Timeline Actions Ovverriding Actions In New Frame?

Jun 19, 2011

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.

[Code]...

When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.

I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.

1. Can i put another set of actions in frame 2 of the actions layer?i tested but it doesn't seem to work..it has 836 rows of code and it's getting annoying when tryin to search for a function..
 
2. I am not that familiar with classes, i usually put all the code into movieclips or in actions layer.. i am not sure if i can call a function from a actionscript class..
 
3.I am curios if there is any way i could specify an alternative for the if statement like in this pseudocode:
 
if ( apple is not clean BUT is tasty)
{
eat(apple)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding Actions In Child Timeline?

Feb 25, 2010

I'm an animator trying to use actionscript along with timeline animation.The setup is flock>fly>wings flock movieclip 30f long, the script looping, starting multiple fly movieclips at different points.
 
fly movieclip 30f long, controls wings0 movieclip timeline (3 frames, each with a movieclip).       Frame1: wings0.gotoAndStop(2)      Frame24: wings0.gotoAndStop(1)      Frame48: wings0.gotoAndStop(3)

From flock timeline I'm trying to override actions in fly3. to call a different wings0 animation.
 
flock Frame1: var loop:Number = 0; fly1.gotoAndPlay(15); fly2.gotoAndPlay(8); fly3.gotoAndPlay(20); if(fly3.currentFrame==24){ fly3.wings0.gotoAndStop(3); }
flock Frame 30:
loop = loop + 1;if (loop > 0) {this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else {this.stop();}
  
But the animation of fly3 doesn't change.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Actions On Child MovieClips

Apr 29, 2011

I am having issues trying to get a simple button to make the playhead jump to a certain frame when pressed. I have the main timeline and then have a movieclip which has buttons inside of it and actionscript applied in the movieclips timeline. Is this a no? That is should all actions go on the main timeline? If this is so then does anyone know why I keep getting an error that it can't find the instance named button inside the movieclip?

portfolioButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(100);

Inside every child SWF I have a code to repostion and resize its contents as I need with stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, relocateandresize);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Restrict Timeline Actions To Inside A Child Movieclip?

Mar 24, 2011

I've done a website with different pages using the Loader component. On one page I have a movieclip that has different images (like a slideshow) that fade between each other. I'm trying to add an action to make the movieclip pause for a few seconds between each fade. So I've added this action between each fade (in a layer, above the graphics layers, that only holds actionscript):

Code:
stop();
function restart(){

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop All Actions In Frame?

Apr 30, 2009

I have a movie clip intro in frame 1 that skips to frame 2, contained in this function:

Code:
skipIntro_MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, introClick);
function introClick(pEvent:MouseEvent):void{
if(skipIntro_MC.visible == true && pEvent.target == skipIntro_MC)

[Code]......

Am I right in thinking this is happening because it's still trying to execute actions that were happening in frame 1 (fading in of movie clips using transitions) when it goes to frame 2? If so, how do I stop these actions so this error doesn't occur?

I am using an external .as file for my code. How do I add actions to a button that is not on the stage but its on another frame in the movie (one that user access later). What is the best practice to add actions to items not present at the start?
Of course I could make another copy of the button on frame 1 and add it off the stage in the invisible part. This is what I was doing till now. IS there another way to do this, a more ethical way?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Putting Actions On Frames Outside Of The First Frame?

Dec 12, 2010

I've heard a few things that people recommend not doing unless you absolutely need to. I'm new to actionscripting. I come from a PHP/Javascript background. I was wondering what kind of things are good and bad.I heard using scenes wasn't a good idea. As well I heard that putting actions on frames outside of the first frame isn't such a good idea unless you absolutely need to.I'm curious what good practice is for working with amfphp. Should I make an AMFPHP class in flash? Do I avoid putting functions into the frame actions

ActionScript 3.0 :: Enter Frame Not Performing All Actions ?

Mar 26, 2012

I had a simple swf with enter frame event that would move an object. everything worked ok , then I changed the framerate from 12 to 24fps. No everything is still working ok, execpt the movement in the enterframe event seems to be working at 12fps still...

ActionScript Code:
function performonenterframe(evt:Event):void{
character.x += 5;
trace (character.x);
}

the trace now would give me 5,5,5,10,10,10,15,15,15 etc...so the event is kicking in every frame but it is moving the character every third frame only...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A Movie With Different Actions In Each Frame?

Apr 14, 2009

Lets say I have 5 instances of a movie named BB1,BB2, BB3, BB4 and BB5 and I want to say move them 5 pixels to the right. Is there a way to do this in one statement and not have to post it 5 times? asically how can I shorten this to one instance to affect all of them?

on (release) {
_root.BB1._x += 5;
_root.BB2._x += 5;
_root.BB3._x += 5;
_root.BB4._x += 5;
_root.BB5._x += 5;
}

Second question is, let say I want to create a Movie with different actions in each frame. then I want to continually call that one frame action from a button release. How would I go about this?Action on frame is: _root.MM._x += 5;

Button on stage to trigger this action over and over would be?. I've tried gotoandPlay but it only works once on (release) {

ActionScript 1/2 :: Multiple Button Actions Not Working In Frame

Oct 10, 2009

In the first frame of an fla I have the code below, only the functions in red works. When rolling over the second only the first function in blue works but the mouse freezes when attempting to rollout (green). But if I remove the code from the first frame and code each seperate button the functions work.

Any reason for this
stop();
btn_shopping.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndStop(2)_root.main_mc.gotoAndStop(1065);
} btn_shopping.onRollOut = function () {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Access The Text Field Via Actions Frame?

Jul 28, 2007

I have a movie clip instance on the stage called textContainer_mc.

On frame 25 in this mc I have a dynamic text field with an instance name of infoText_txt.

Im trying to access the text field via my actions frame on the root timeline like this;

HTML Code:
textContainer_mc.infoText_txt.text="welcome";

The problem is if I put the text field on frame 1 of the textContainer_mc the text field shows but if its on frame 25 it doesnt.

I need it on frame 25 because I want the text to show up after an animation has played.In other words I want the textfield to stall from showing until the animation inside textContainer_mc has finished playing which takes 25frames.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Extending MovieClip Makes Clip To Ignore Frame Actions?

Feb 14, 2012

When we want to know if a MovieClip animation has ended, we use to listen the enter frame event and check if current frame is the final one (where the movieclip frame has a stop).

But we've thought on a new idea: to extend MovieClip and override stop method. In the override we dispatch an event indicating the animation is ended. So, we hope the clip to find a stop in a frame, call the overriden method and execute both, the super.stop() and the event dispatch.
