Is it possible on flash to access inside a movie clip of an external swf file?im trying to link this button which is currently inside a movieclip to the frame inside this movieclip of an external swf.[code]
View 1 Repliesi made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;

function onClick_goHome(event:MouseEvent): void {
this.gotoAndPlay("homesequence");
}

I'm using Flash CS3 with Actionscript 2.0.I have a Button. This include on "UP" frame a Movie Clip with a Dynamic Text in.
The Button have Instance Name = boton
The Movie Clip have Instance Name = pelicula
Dynamic Text have a variable called = texto
So, I use this code in the main scene:
Code:
boton.pelicula.texto = "new text"; but don't works, I think is something with the Frame "UP".
Basically I have an movie clips which contains various other movie clips. These other clips are named clip1_mc etc.This big movie clip is dropped onto a frame in the main timeline so it plays when the program loads. I have my main actions on the timeline and I want to access the movie clip instance names inside the big clip. Is there a call to maybe get the children or contents of a clips using an event listener?

I have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.

Neste caso não quero criar um movie clipe apartir de código. o movie clip , já existe no palco.o traço que aparece no canto inferiro da tela indica o arquivo externo, mas como referência o traço está no centro do arquivo. a referência é o quadro cinza.
Código:
stop();alvo1.loadMovie("conforto.swf");
o movie clipe esta instaciado como " alvo1" .
estou ultilizando o action script 2.0.
In this in case that I do not want to create one movie clip to apartir of code. movie clip, already exists in palco. the trace that appears in it I sing inferiro of the screen indicates the external archive, but as reference the trace is in the center of the archive. the reference is the gray picture.

It's been asked something like a million times and will probably continue to be asked long as there remains one Newbie on the planet. It is: How does one play an external swf inside a movie clip? But before the reader does an eye-roll-yawn, maybe just maybe it's not as simple as that��at least not to me�� there's more.... For stage simplicity's in this play lets get the characters straight. Lets call the external mc MC Orangutang and the main 'Big Movie where we want that Orangutang to perform [MC Buffalo. First, Buffalo is not a button but is a brief mc animation.
Second, Orangutang is not alone. There are two other MCs that also need to ride the buffalo. Call them what you will; but they are short little MCs that must all come riding onto the stage on the back of MC Buffalo. Third, I have the idea (or maybe its an obsession that) that it is a Flash-Wise idea to have all their aerobatics performed inside of an Empty Movie Clip. Hence, the Circus wold ideally run like this: Click on the MC Buffalo and it plays it short skit, then immediately imports or whatever we want to call it, the three jungle friends at which point all of them are now visible sharing the same stage and obediently waiting for a user to rollover/click on one of them.
All the jungle creatures perform annoyingly perfect when on their own (outside the Big movie Buffalo) but the very second we attempt to bring anyone of those recalcitrant beasts into the movie theater it's poof and he/she/it/they vanish without even a dirty little foot print on stage. I'm embarrassed to confess that I have spent (feels like wasted) weeks, yes weeks hoping to do this on my own but no joy! So, I now turn to the Geniuses.
this current situation as i cant seem to find a solution anywhere.The Coding are below:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Beginner.xml");
var xmlloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

i've been recently working on a game, which based on stills pictures. now, i've made a panoramic 360 swf file using PANO2VR. i've loaded the file into a movie clipe in flash using this code:
loadMovie ("1.swf", ir);
and nothing happened.
I have a movie clip called - contenct_mc ----------------inside this movie clip I have another movie clip called - Introduction_mc ------inside this mvovie clip There is another movie clip called - Footer_mc -------inside this movie clip on actions layer I have copied the below code to show clock.swf file....but the following code doesn't work
CODE:I am using Flash CS4 AS3
var R:Loader=new Loader();addChild(R);
R.load(new URLRequest("clock.swf"));R.x = 540;R.y = 205;
R.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, RgrowLoader);
function RgrowLoader(evt:Event):void {
R.width = 200; R.height = 200;}
In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.
View 5 Replies1)I was able to load an external .swf file into a blank movie clip (A TARGET CLIP WHICH I CREATED using createEmptyMovieClip) 2)Also by placing a button on the stage I was able to remove the movie clip
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL MY CODE IN THE FIRST FRAME. I would like to Remove the Movie without putting the code on the button. But it didn't work.
Here is the code on the button that Does work

I have searched for this everywhere but it seems like every answer is either overcomplicated or simply does not work, and I know for sure there should be a more simple way of achieving what I need. So, until today, I have always coded from within the timeline. But now I realise why I should code in separate class files. However, I still want to include snippets of code in the timeline for simplicity's sake.

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.

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'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

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?

How to access variable of parent movie clip in child movie clip in Action script 3.0
View 1 RepliesI'm in class file right now and made a new movie clip using the linkage name
var mc = new ExampleLinkageName();
addChild(mc);
all good, I can see mc on the stage. In the ExampleLinkageName movieclip, I have a variable defined in it (on the physical timeline) called test.
In my class, I try trace(mc.test) and I get null. how I can read that variable?
