I am trying to run a for loop that will target MCs that are embedded in a parent mc... I keep running into issues with the targeting however when I try this:
for(var i:int = 0; i<5; i++){
parentClip_mc["m"+(i+1)+"_mc"].visible = false;
}
This dosnt seem to cut it. How should I go about this? This is the error that I get: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I have a small problem with dynamic targeting inside a loop. Shortly, I have some buttons which I add listeners to in a loop. loop works fine. I got everything to work, but the second line in it gives this error : TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@d4abe81 to Function.[code]Can anyone help me with the correct syntax for the second line ?
View 1 Repliesi have a for loop and i want to do things with it:
for(i;i<=2;i++){
if(box+i._width>20){

I had the following script which worked fine for my buttons which were sitting on the stage and are called 'btn1', 'btn2', etc... However I wanted to animate all the buttons so have put them all into a movie clip called buttons, but now my script doesn't work, I have tried changing all the this targets to _root.buttons.this,
Code:
numOfBtn = 5;
stop();
[code]......
I know this is simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. I am adding a series words to the stage and want each one to move with an ENTER_FRAME listener. The way I have it now only targets the last one added. How do i have it apply to each child when it's added?

The result I traced keep on coming back as the last in the list.It seems like the xmlList is not assign to different MC.

private function levelsBG():void {

Using CS3, I imported a flash vid to my library. I'm pulling the vid in and trying to get just the video to loop within the flash file. I've tried setting the properties to loop and it's just not working?

I have an embedded 10-second video (of water ripples, for example) that I would like to loop continuously without displaying an obvious break/jump from the end frame to the first frame.The video itself does not end at the beginning, so it cannot simply be looped. The only way I can think of to simulate a seamless loop it to use the alpha/fade tween somehow, but I have no clue where to begin, or if this is even possible in flash. I just have these two theories:
THEORY #1:
If a movie clip can be reversed, then I can append a reversed copy of the clip on the end, which would create an actual seamless loop.
THEORY#2:
If I can cut the first 2 seconds of the clip, and paste it over the last 2 seconds of the clip, then fade in on the first one, this would create a virtual seamless loop.
Of course, I have no idea if these options are possible in Flash (I have CS3).
I have CS3.I encode my video with the Encoder, then I import it into Flash. From there, I cannot figure out how to make the embedded flv file to loop.
View 5 RepliesI have an flv video file that I've imported into Flash CS5 project as an embedded movie, because graphic and movie clip both produced still images. I want to embed the final product onto my website, and have the video autostart in the beginning, play all the way through, and then go back to frame 40 or so and loop continuosly from there. I've tried selecting the final frame and applying the instancename.gotoandplay (40); code but it isn't working. I read that this only works on keyframes, so I tried making the final frame a keyframe but because it is an flv file for some reason it isn't allowing me to do that.

I have a video that I've embedded into a project by means of linking it from my server, where it lives (not embedding it into the actual project) and I cant for the life of me find a way to get the video to continually loop when it finishes. Any looping meathod I've found so far using AS3 only loops the basic animations in the movie, not the video.

View 4 RepliesI'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a embedded language that can be used to script common code between a server app written in C# and a client app written in Flash/Actionscript. It is important that the embedded language interpreter run natively in the environment it is embedded into. For example, it cannot load any external C libraries (i.e. python, neko).
Does such a thing exist for these two languages? Perhaps there is some minimal interpreter that could be easily ported to both?
I have made a navigation that is a movieclip, now within the movieclip are 6 movieclips that are the "buttons" of the navigation. This is then placed on the maintimeline as the movies navigation. When one of the "buttons" is pressed i want it to go to a specific point on one of the 6 movieclip "buttons" timeline. This is the code that I have used before on the maintime line to target a movieclip there... but never a mc within an mc. First, would I still place this code on the maintime? or within the mc that the 6 mc buttons are placed? Second how would I target the nav buttons mc's?

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I've got a dynamic textfield clip which is placed twice on the stage. It also includes a button. Funny thing is, the first trace works (tracing its _y value: 0 for clip 1 and 200 for duplicate clip 2). When I press the down button of both clips however it traces undefined though it's the same line. How does onPress mess up the targetting of both clips? [code]

I made a play/pause button for this project I'm working on (basically a slideshow with a different movieclips on each frame) and I have managed to get it to target either the main timeline or a nested MC. The problem is with the code I have is that the button will only work for one MC at a time. This means I will need a separate play/pause button for each individual slide. Is there some way to make a button that globally starts and stops any MC without effecting the main timeline?
Here is the code I am using now:
stop();
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopplaying);function stopplaying(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(parent).green.stop(); gotoAndStop(2);}
Ned proposed adding an event at the beginning of each movie clip and programming the play/pause button to work that way. My problem (after spending a lot of time with it) is that I can't get my play/pause button (a MC itself) to target the event in a separate MC.
This is my event placed on the first frame of my movie clip:
dispatchEvent(new Event("imHere"));
This is the code I have in the play/pause button that doesn't work:
stop();
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopplaying);function stopplaying(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(2);}

I am building an ecard, and I created two swfs. The first swf is the actual ecard, with a dynamic text box that is going to display the message. The second swf is where you would actually type in the information, such as name, email, and message. Is it possible for two swfs to "talk" to each other inside an html document? Also, I am not quite sure how to send the card to someone's email. I am assuming that when you hit SEND it reads the input box with that email, but not sure how that works.
