View 3 RepliesI declared a variable & it's value in the main timeline. Then I created a movieclip and have some actionscript inside that movieclip. Is it possible to read the varialbe's value within the movieclip?
Let's say I have this variable in root timeline var myVar:Number = 100; and I want to read myVar's value within a movieclip like following trace(root.myVar);
I am trying to read the html page that contains my SWF from inside the SWF itself.This works:
function loadWebPage():void{
var url:String = "iFrame.html";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);[code]....
However, I need to write "iFrame.html" as the URL. I know that the container webpage's name is "iFrame.html." But what if I don't know the name of the HTML page? instead of "iFrame.html" is there a "_self" or "_parent" or external interface call that I can pass into the urlLoader that will get me the container HTML page of the swf?
I want to know if is it possible to read values of object nested inside an array.[code]...
View 9 Repliesi think i read an article before about google or some SE teaming up with the Adobe Flash Developers in an effort to include flash pages into search results by allowing the text inside SWFs to be read by the SEs... not really sure about the details, but its something to that extent..
that's good news but what i would like to know is if spam bots can do the same and read text inside an SWF file?for example, if i have an SWF file with a dynamic textbox that has some text that contains an email address, will spam bots be able to read it?if this is the case, then i will just make the email address an image..but the benefits of having the email address inside a dynamic textbox is that it's selectable; making it easier for visitors to just copy the address as opposed to having to look at the image and type it manually...
I have a website up at [URL]. The thing is that I have flv files being loaded by swfs that are loaded on a movieclip of a main swf. Locally everything works fine but as soon as I move it up the web or even try to run in over my home network, the flv files won't run. Can the flv run inside a swf that is loaded into another swf? I have set the paths to relative already, this taking into account the main swf!
Something like this:
loaded_swf_folder/flv_folder/flv_file.flv
If I didn't take the main swf into account it would look like this:
flv_folder/flv_file.flv
But I tried this already and it didn't work at all. Except if you run one of the loaded swf directly instead of through the main swf.
My main swf (site.swf) contains a movie clip loader that loads a second swf "item_menu.swf". Inside this second swf, I also have a movie clip loader "cityLoader_mc" that loads another swf "itemA1.swf" but the onLoad function only works for the button "A1_btn". It does not work to load the swf by default.Do I have to use something before onLoad since it's not the root swf or something?
Here is the code
HTML Code:
onLoad = function() {
cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA1.swf");
}

I am using flash CS3 with AS 2.0
I`m a AS2 user, having a few problems getting adjusted to AS 3. What I want to do: In my stage I have 3 movieclips:
- Intro (frame 1)
- Main (2)
- End (3)
In the movieclip Intro i show some pictures etc, when it comes to the end, i want to go to the 2nd frame on the MAIN timeline. This used to be _root.gotoAndPlay("main"); using the hierarchy allways starting from _root or _level0. or _parent... I have tried searching but am not sure how to lookup this problem. I would be really happy if someone could post me a link how to address movieclips through other movieclips or starting from the root in AS3 and for the right code to use the function gotoAndPlay to go 1 frame further in the main timeline.
I have a frame label on the main timeline called "History" I have a movieclip on the stage. Inside that movie clip I have a button.
I want to refer back to History from the button within the clip. Tried everything.
I have a main swf container, who loads external swf . All my files are connected a php files who are connected one database in one server. Sometimes when I load my project the external files they take a long time to load.

View 6 Repliesthis website I'm designing loads swfs. inside one of these loaded swfs is a button that is supposed to remove the loader child from the stage and load a page in the main swf. How would I go about scripting that without using OOP? or is there a short external class I can create?

View 5 RepliesI created "symbol1" movie clip. And I have dynamic text "myscore" on the main stage.
I have this code inside of "symbol1".
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, b1);
function b1(event:MouseEvent):void {
myscore.text = "30";
}
And it gives me this error. (1120: Access of undefined property myscore.)
It works only when text and actionscript inside of the same symbol. I tried like this root.myscore.text = "30"; but it still doesn't work.
I've created six movie clips of cursive text effect using masking for the animation. Each clip is approximately 160 frames long. I need to play these sequentially, one after the other, when the page loads. structure multiple clips to play after each other?
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to listen for events sent from my main movie swf from inside a preloader shell swf.Inside Preloader.swf, I load my Main.swf in the traditional way, with a loader object and I listen for progress events on that. These progress events make my preloader bar scaleX increase, like normal. But, I have an XML file and an image that load inside of my Main.swf as soon as it is loaded. I would like for these unloaded bytes to be shown in my Preloader.swf before the Main.swf gets added to the stage.right now, I am sending the totalBytes from the XML file and the image to my Main.swf document class, which, in turn, dispatches a custom "PreloaderEvent" that holds the total number of bytes.
In Preloader.swf, I add an event listener to the loader ( which holds main.swf ), listening for that PreloaderEvent.Can events be heard in this manner and is this the best way to be preloading this type of file ( one where main.swf loads in the first frame, then starts loading of external images after the swf is running ).I'm just not sure how to get all of those extraneous bytes into one location for my preloader to see at the same time.
I've been using this code to try and stop a main movie clip and all of the movie clips inside it. My problem is that this code only stops the main movie "elements" but none of the nested clips, can anyone spot a glaring mistake.

clip.stop();
for (var i in clip) {
if (typeof clip[i] == "elements") {
if (clip[i] != clip) {
stopAllClips(clip[i]);

I need to randomly position identical symbols in a movie - I have found a way I can do it in the main timeline using this code:
n = 10;
while (n>0) {
duplicateMovieClip ("/r1", n, n);
n = n-1;
[Code]....
The problem is that the _x and _y parameters only seem to work in the main timeline, and I need the whole thing to be self-contained inside a movie clip, so that I can easily paste it into other Flash movies (about 75 of them). Is it possible to specify a random location inside a MC?
I have an animation (movieclipX) on frame 2 of main timeline. At the end of movieclipX I'd like the main timeline to move to the next frame, frame 3. How can I do this??Sorry if this is an easy question, I'm in the process of learning.
View 8 RepliesI have a scrollPane on my stage, and I have a movieClip inside of it with a bunch of buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, I need it to gotoAndPlay a frame label on the main timeline. So far I cannot get this to work.
View 6 RepliesOn the main stage I have a button that I have made invisible once the file is loaded. Inside a movieclip I have on frame 15 the following actionscript 3 code
button_mc.visible = true;
I want the button to become visible at the end of this movieclip. I am not using an external as3 file, I am putting the as3 code in its own layer on the first frame.
I know it has something to do with the path to the button, but I cannot figure it out. If there is anyone who can point me in the right direction for referencing instances by instance name that reside on the main satge from inside a movieclip
I'm working on a lot of different flash applications Most of those applications are visual and involves the main stage.I started oop a while ago and i got to a point that %99.9 percent of my code is extracted to different classes.There is one thing that repeat on a regular basis on all of my apps, passing the Stage variable to the different classes....It's working great but it doesnt feel right that i need to pass the main stage as a variable between the different classes,is there a better way to access the stage from external classes ? can i make the main stage a static property and access itwithin all the objects in the application ?
