does anyone know how i can matching random value. what kind algorithm that i need to use? the value is no always close to the first value. ex : array 6 x 6. location first value is in 1.1 and the second value is in 3.4. the question is what algorithm i have to use to get value from target value?

View 2 Repliesqi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
i don't know why this isn't working.i got a button. and when it's pressed, i need it to go and play a frame in a movie clip. i'll test it and then when i click on it, i get this:
Target not found: Target="whoweare" Base="_level0.instance20.instance48.instance49"
this is the code that i am using:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("whoweare") {
gotoAndPlay (51);
}
}
so, i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this:
Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0"
i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
Through attachMovie I have loaded an mc from the library onto the stage into "holder_mc".
myButton.onRelease = function () {
if (currentWork != "holder_mc.myWork1_mc") {
holder_mc.attachMovie("myWork_mc","myWork1_mc", getNextHighestDepth());
currentWork = "holder_mc.myWork1_mc";
}
}
This works.
However, there are a couple of buttons (mc) inside "myWork1_mc" which skips through a few slides in the myWork1_mc clip that I cannot target. I thought using:
holder_mc.myWork1_mc.buttonName_mc.onRelease = function () {
trace("MC_pressed");
}
... would work. My curser doesn't even change to the hand symbol. How do I target an dymanically loaded MC from the library which is inside an empty holder MC on the stage via attachMovie? What am i missing? Believe me, I have spent hours trying to google it.
Note: at this stage there is no other script on "holder_mc", but there will be at a later date, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Also, the buttons work when I place the MC onto the stage and not use attachMovie.
I have a simple button that goes to a URL when clicked, but it's opening a new window. I want it to target "_self"-- but I'm getting errors. How do I properly target the same window?
[Code]..
Seems like AS3 is more about writing code than AS2.I would normally write the code on the button:
Code:
on(release){
getURL("http://sample.com". "_blank");
}
Instead in AS3 I have to do this for a button action:
Code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.sample.com");
navigateToURL(request);
}
How do I add the _blank target function to this AS3 code. I am still trying to get use to this AS3 concept.
I used to use an old school method in AS2 to talk to a movieclip to go to different states like on rollover but how do I do this in AS3 now?
Code:
on (rollOver) {
with (myclip) {
gotoAndStop("on");
}
}
I know that with went out a long time ago but it worked!I know in AS3 to handle a click you have to do this:
Code:
mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
what I want to do with targeting a rollover with a button.
I need to have a button to target a movie clip in a separate swf placed in a separate window.
//
on(release){
getURL(theotherswf.html+nameof_mc);
}
I have a flash template that I added a flash and xml driven component to. The component is a carousel menu with a lightbox that displays images. The lightbox part of it keeps loading behind my flash page, no matter what I set the z-index to on the lightbox.css. Is there a way to control the z-index of the flash file in the website's style.css? I tried adding it to the Body of the css but that doesn't work. How do I target the swf? I've never used css before. How to get it to load the lightbox above the flash.

I am using AS3 and PHP. I have created a flash animation and and it put in a index.php file. Its a web site, some pages are in flash and some pages are (like shopping cart) not in flash. My problem is when i am in pure php page (cart page) when i click the link about us, it should go a particular frame or particular content in the flash, instead of running from the beginning.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple event listener which calls a functions which first uses a switch case statement to determine what evt.target was pressed by name so I can assign info there--presently I just have trace statements--the problem is that it only works once and then I just get instance29 and the switch case evaluates to the default.
Code:
lifering1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, playSplash,false,0,true);
function playSplash(evt:MouseEvent):void
{

Its easier explained if I just write down the code:
function loadMc(frame:Number){
aNum = "array"+frame;
array1 = ["mcname", "identifier", "200"];

The code works great but I'm building a large site and would like to have a default swf that loads when the target isn't available. I tried various if statements when event.target.name == null but haven't been able to get any of them to work.
How would you get the name of the parent of a movieclip? below is only some of the options I tried to trace.
function getParentName(e:MouseEvent):void{
trace(e.target.parent.name);
trace(parent(e.target));

On frame 30 of my root timeline, I have dragged five different instances from my library onto the stage. I gave each one a distinct name, oneBtn, twoBtn, threeBtn, fourBtn, fiveBtn. I added a MouseEvent for each of these five objects, and ran a Trace to make sure I am able to identify the objects. At first, I used e.target.name but it returned instanceXX (instance23, instance84, instance83...). I think this happened because within each of those buttons, I had a movie clip within it so I can apply filters to them. I decided to trace e.target.parent.name. On two of the five objects, I was able to trace oneBtn, and twoBtn. On the other three, I still got instanceXX. I tried tracing e.target.parent.parent.name and I was able to trace the other three buttons, threeBtn, fourBtn, fiveBtn.
how come I need to target two different levels (e.target.parent.name & e.target.parent.parent.name) on my objects when I dragged them from the library and placed them onto the stage within the same timeline?
I had this posted in another post I had which was answered and it also had a lame post name so I have reposted it here I can not figure out why my code here is not working.... (i guess that's pretty obvious or I would not be posting it!).

something like this - tho this does not work:

When trying to target a MC from within a function in CS3, I often run into problems though I still can't put my finger on it. When targeting the movie clip outside of a function (in this case I'm populating some dynamic text fields) everything is fine. In those cases, I use "this." in front of the MC name. I've tried that syntax and the the MC instance name without "this." within the function and nothing. So I seem to be missing something fundamental about AS3.
View 10 RepliesI have a movie clip on my stage that has its own timeline with 7 frames, each a keyframe with different content. How would I target a movie clip that appears only on one of these frames within the parent clip?
I'm used to using dot syntax to target clips within clips (eg. parentClip.myClip.onRelease = function(){...), but when I try this with a clip that only appears on one of the frames in the parent clip it doesn't work. Do I need to address that frame specifically? How would I do this? I'm using AS2 in CS3 on a Mac.
I have some buttons working great on my main timeline using this code on the actual timeline[code]...
So I know I need to make Revlon_mc into another movieclip (so I can do the actual animation inside this movie clip and move it easily around the main timeline) but I'm not what the code would be (something to do with parent perhaps??) and would I still keep the code on the main timeline or would it sit within the new moviclip just created?
var lastItem:string;
if (lastItem != e.currentTarget.name) {
menu1.lastItem.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
lastItem == e.currentTarget.name;
It doesn't like me using the string lastItem for the value of the previous currentTarget.name. How do I pass the name of the last target?
I have 3 movieclips. Each sends the game to one level. Inside each movieclip theres more movieclips.
