ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference MovieClips On The Main Timeline From Inside A Class?
Mar 31, 2010
I've been programming with AS2 for a few years and I just made the switch to AS3. I'm hoping there is an easy solution to this problem. I have a class 'Actor' (extends MovieClip) that needs to hitTestPoint on a nested MovieClip 'root.World.walls' in a function moveRight(). The line of code looks like this: ...while (MovieClip(root).World.walls.hitTestPoint(pnt.x, pnt.y, true)) {... But I keep getting various errors when I try different solutions.

I modified an Adobe Flash CS5 sample to create a swf with a preloader. In my FLA I've two stopped frames:In the first frame I only put this code (and a textfield showing percentage):[code]When I test the Adobe sample (it has no main class on frame 2, only a large image) anything works fine, but when I compile the modified version I get strange errors. In the Main class constructor I reference three movieclips, eg. this way: myClip.alpha=0, but it seems now Flash can't see them anymore (they are null). Why?

my problem is I want to move all the instances of the attacker class, without using code inside the movieclips timeline.
like:
ActionScript Code:
CLASS:
speed = 5
oneverysingleframe(
allofmahchildren.y - = speed
)

I am positioning a movie clip within a movieclip, so obviously when I say for example:
ActionScript Code:
photo_mc.picture.x = 0;
photo_mc.picture.y = 0;
It positions the picture movie clip with in the reference of the photo_mc clip, and not the main stage. How can I reference it to the main stage (0,0)? - because the photo_mc moves around randomly, so to compensate would be pointless!

I have a simple problem that I've been working on for hours, trying to go through trial and error myself. But here's the problem. I have a function on the main timeline named startClips. Now, I want to call this from from within two movie clips, the other nested inside the other. In other words, I have a movie clip called holder, and inside of a holder, I have a movieclip called homebase. Now, here is all the code I've been trying to use to access the startClips function which is own the main timeline from the movieclip homebase:
MovieClip(root).startClips();
MovieClip(root.root).startClips();
MovieClip(parent.parent).startClips();
this.parent.parent.startClips();
I can't figure this one out. Can I get any assistance.

I'm having to convert an AS2 app to AS3. In the AS2 app I have nested MovieClip in which is a reference to the main timeline (sloppy practice, I know, and now I'm paying for it).
if(_root._currentframe == 3){ ...
which threw an error. I changed it to
if(stage._currentframe == 3){ ...
but it's still throwing an error. The same thing happens when I try to reference a variable defined on the main timeline...
var inPlay:Boolean; //on frame 1 of the main timeline
if(stage.inPlay){ ... // on a frame in a nested clip. This also throws an error.

this is one of those upsurdly basic questions for which google does not work. I have usually dispatched events from my classes and dealt with the user interface in the document class. But now i want to separate all the UI in a separate class, accessible by other classes. have added it as a child to the main/document class, but how do i reference the main class without going through parent.parent shananigans?dit. one more thing i remembered. Some of my UI elements are not programatically added.here is the code i have. i get possibly undefined property error.
package rpflash.ui {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)

How would I reference a button instance on the main timeline in the actionscript within a movie clip symbol?For example: btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, main1Over);where btn1 is an instance of a button on the main timeline but is not found within the symbol itself.I will then be dragging that movie clip onto the main timeline when it's finished.

I built my website on the main timeline with a fade in animation...stop(on the page) and a fade out animation. At the end of this fade out animation i would like it to call upon a variable to know what page to go to next.I am trying to tell my main timeline to gotoAndPlay a frame based off of a variable within a movieclip(about_mc this movieclip contains another movieclip which acts like a button(factsheet_mc)) that i have set in my main timeline.I set the variable with:
var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline
then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:
this.onRelease = function(){ --------"this" meaning the movieclip factsheet_mc------------ [code]........

Is it possible to add 5 movieClip in the main timeline, and add for each movieClip a Sound object at frame 5, so that when I play the main timeline, all sound are played simultaneously. Because if I store all Sound object in array, and I do for example (see attach code). That's correct ? Because the play method of Sound class have may latency.

I'm new to AS3 so please excuse me if the question is a bit confusing.
I have 3 movieclips in my library with the Linkage names "Panel1", "Panel2" and "Panel3".
I want to create a new Array on my main timeline with the three movieclips.
i.e. var panelArray = new Array(Panel1, Panel2, Panel3);
How would I be able to do that?

I have a movie clip - it is a slideshow style mc, but instead of pictures, each frame is layers that include bulleted text, images, etc. - and it advances frames automatically with this code:
Code:
stop();
function wait() {
nextFrame();
}setTimeout(wait, 4500);
I need to set up a pause button that will stop the mc from advancing (i.e. ignore the wait function code above) and a PLAY button that will resume the auto-advancing of my movieclip. In my main timeline, I already have forward and backward buttons that work to advance/rewind frame by frame using this code:
Code:
stop();
//next button
next_btn.onPress=function(){
if(mc_content._currentframe==mc_content._totalframes){
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1)
[Code] .....
How to set up PLAY/PAUSE buttons that will stop/start all actions that are running in my MC?

What I would like to do is play ramdom movie clips on my main time line. I've tried using the below code, but it does not work:
Code:
var frameList:Array = [1, 2];
var i:int = Math.random() * frameList.length;
"mc" + frameList[i].gotoAndPlay(1);
My movie clips are named "mc1, mc2" etc. I've got them on a layer named "BG" and each movie clip is in a key frame. The ActionScript is on a seperate layer named "AS".

I was trying to access some nested movieClips from the main time line but it was giving an error. What I have is a movieClip on the stage called "dog" and inside this movieClip I have two nested movieClips called "dogLH" and "dogRH". The movieClip "dog" was brought to the stage using actionscript 3.0 and when I tried to move the moveClips inside "dog" it gave me an error.
This is the code I have:
var dogog = new Dog();
dog.x =200;
dog.y =150;
[Code]....
What is strange is that if I add the movieClip "dog" to the stage manually and try the same thing it works. Any idea why it doesn't work when it is brought to stage with actionscript, but it works if I bring this manually?

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

I 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.
