I have a main movieclip which calls another swf.THAT swf is a file that calls 4 other swf files to be displayed at the same time. I simply had 'loader' movie clips with it's instance name and then used the loadmovie script to bring them in.well - the final swf now requires AS3 and I can't figure out how to code the files to load those up.
View 3 RepliesI have an interface that contains audio controls in the Library (class: AudioControls)When a movie is loaded into the interface, and it happens to contain a sound (class: Audio_1), this loaded movie calls an interface function to show the audio controls:
Code:
if (Interface._ui != null) {
Interface._ui.playCurrentAudio();
}
The problem is, the playCurrentAudio() func in the interface contains some code that refers to nested MCs:
Code:
public function showAudioControls():void {
audioControls.x = 710;
audioControls.y = 583;
//
[code]....
That would be the speaker, rewind_btn, playPause_btn, etc. Referring to the parent clip, "audioControls", is no problem of course. But I get an error when I publish the loaded movie:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property speaker through a reference with static type AudioControls.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property rewind_btn through a reference with static type AudioControls.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property playPause_btn through a reference with static type AudioControls.
i'm having a problem with a for loop.i have this code:
ActionScript Code:
var pontos = new Array("boca_mc","esofago_mc","estomago_mc","delgado_mc","grosso_mc");

when i call the function toAlpha, everything goes fine, but when it calls toSolid, the movieclip names (this[pontos[i]]) are undefined... i traced i, and i is ok.
I Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?
I'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button. When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size. My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem. For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself. I do not want that flicker. I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor. In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
Here's my code.
//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button private function addMouseListeners() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp); }
[code]....
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.
Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.
View 6 RepliesI have a main timeline with a button. I need the action for this button to gotoAndStop to a frame within a movieclip, within another movieclip. I have tried on the main timeline setting the actions of the button to:
on (release){
clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}
and tried:
on (release){
_root.clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}
lastly:
on (release){
_parent.clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}
If I double-click on the movie clip (clip1) and then double-click on the movie clip (clip2), I have several frames labeled "frame1", "frame2", etc.The button doesn't work.
Working on an RPG type flash, and I have to be able to control a text-box from quite a few locations. The one that is causing me trouble is the inventory. I need to be able to access the textbox with an instance of "statusWindow" from within the inventory clip (instance name "inventory"), so when I mouse over an item within the movieclip it will change the status window on the stage.In this instance I want to mouse over inventory.invHealth from the main timeline to get the display.itemName and itemProps are strings containing information about the item.I tried the following but it gave me a "possibly undefined" error.
invHealth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, itemStats);
function itemStats(e:Event):void
{
root.statusWindow.text = itemName+"

I have a scrollpane in my library.Inside a movieclip, I create an image gallery and add it to the scrollpane.I do this in this function.[code]Now everything works fine, and no problems occur.I do however get the runtime error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::ScrollPane/endDrag()It doesnt seem to affect my file, but I am sure it would be better to try and get rid of it.I think it has something to do with adding my movieclip to the main movieclip, and maybe.I am not removing it when I add a different movieclip.Whenever I add a movieclip to the main one, I use container_mc.addChild(...);Does addChild check to see if a movieclip already exist, and remove it if it does? Or do I need to remove my clips beforehand?

View 3 RepliesI've created a movie clip with an animation on it's own timeline 30 frames long. When I press 'Enter' while inside the movieclip the animation plays ok.On the main timeline, I have one layer 30 frames long with the movieclip symbol placed on frame one. If I press 'Enter' the main timeline play head moves to frame 30 but the movieclip animation does not play on the stage. If I press 'Ctrl + Enter' or publish to swf then the animation plays ok but I can't setup the stage how I want it without the animation playing on the stage. Do I need to just change a viewing setting (tick box in preferences) or is this related to AS3 or new CS4 inner workings?

on MC2's timeline I want to target objects on the main stage. Not sure on how to write that without using root. I've been trying deviations of
MovieClip(parent).MovieClip(parent).mcName.
I've got a problem using variables in my Flash project. I've got a variable called "count" decelerate in a layer of my main timeline.
Like this: _global.count=0;
In my movieclip I want to set that variable from 0 to 1.
For do that I wrote in a code layer of my mc: _global.count=1;
Now... When I perform a new action the variables count return to 0.
It's seem that Flash reset all variables.
I have a movieClip called target_mc on the main timeline... Inside that movieClip, I have four frame animation where there are aim1_mc and aim2_mc on each frame...I also have a for loop that hides aim1_mc on all the frames... It works fine on the first loop, but I see the aim1_mc of the frame 1 from the second loop...

I'm new to AS3, and am having issues loading external swf files so that they appear on top of entities on the main stage. My main stage is an interface, and as buttons are pressed, external swf files are loaded. Some parts of the external swf files are meant to display over the interface, but they are under it.
Here's my code:
var _dummy1:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(_dummy1);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
Button47.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,bClick3 );
function bClick3(event:MouseEvent):void {
_dummy1.unload();
_dummy1.load(url);
}
I have created the gallery as its own movieclip and require it to open when the thumbnail images (within the main movie) are clicked on.The nature of the 'gallery' movieclip is such that on each keyframe there is a different picture and so when the thumbnails are clicked on i need the movieclip to open up within the main movie and jump to the frame that contains the large image of the thumbnail that has been clicked on.for instance to view the large version of the 3rd thumbnail the MC would need to jump to frame 3 when it has opened.

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to figure this out for 3 days now. Here is the structure on the timeline:
movie clip (portbtn)
inside port btn (button)
I need (button) inside (portbtn) to link to a keyframe inside of another movie clip on the main timeline called portPage.
Here is the code I have been trying to get to work and it seems like it would:
Select allusa.onPress = function() {
_root.portPage.gotoAndStop(1);
gotoAndStop ("closed")
};
Now this is what everyone else tries and it doesn't seem to work. Also I want to note that I have tried to trace the movie clip "portPage" and it says undefined which from what I have read means that the button is working but it is just not getting the right directory. I have no clue what other directory to put in there since this one seems to be the right one.
I have seemed to have forgotten how to go from a movieclip to a frame in the main timeline. I have done it a few months back but I dont have the fla right now to reffer.

View 2 RepliesI have a main fla, which has some buttons on the stage. When you click on a button an external swf loads(using loadMovie method) inside container_mc which is an empty movieclip.
On that specific external swf, I have created an empty movieclip called content_mc which also loads external swfs.
Is it possible to call the content_mc from the main fla? For example when clicking a button of the main fla, how can I point to content_mc which is part of the external swf?
