How can I call the property of a dynamic child mc within a static parent mc? For example: a parent movie clip with instance name "parentMC" has four child movie clips with instance names "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4"
[Code]...
i have a parent movieclip mcA and i want to add another movieclip mcB (child movieclip) inside mcA such that the extra part of mcB is hidden. The size of movieclip remains same as of mcA
For ex:-
mcA = 300x300
mcB = 400x400
then only 300x300 of mcB movieclip is visible and rest of the part is hidden.
I have created 2 sprites each containing a dynamic text field child. I then add this as a child of the stage. (I have done this in order to make the text clickable with a hand cursor on mouseover)It loads in fine, I just run into problems when trying to REMOVE it the sprite containing the text."ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."Sections concerned in red:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

This works fine
ActionScript Code:
mc1.onRollOver=function(){mc1._alpha=50}
mc2.onRollOver=function(){mc2._alpha=50}

I'm using Flash 8, and creating a dynamic XML driven menu.I can't for the life of me figure out the syntax to make a 2 dimensional path to a movieclip.I can reference a movieclip dynamically with: _root["main"+i].label.text but how can I reference a movieclip like this:
_root.main1.subBut1_1.label.text
Where "main1" AND "subBut1_1" are dynamically written.I've tried _root["main"+i]["subBut"+i+"_"+t] and _root["main"+i]["subBut"+i+"_"+t], no dice.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {[code].....
what I'm trying to do is access the data of several movies clips, that are inside of several other movie clips: MC1.insideMC._visible=false (which works, but isn't dynamic) but dynamically with a FOR loop. I've tried: For(bullet=1; bullet<5; bullet++){ "MC"+bullet.insideMC1._visible=false (this does not work) } Does anyone know the dot notation or another way to do this?
View 13 RepliesI have some movie clips in the library I am loading but I can't figure out the right syntax to get the librabry item dynamicaly so I had to resort to a chain of "if" statements. I left off all the extra stuff like position and addChild etc just to make the code more clear.
for(var i:int=1; i>4; i++){
addChip(i)
} function addChip(id:number) {
if(id == 1){
this["chip"+i] = new twoXchip1()
} if(id == 2){
this["chip"+i] = new twoXchip2()
} if(id == 3){
this["chip"+i] = new twoXchip3()
}}
So what I want to do, is instead of having 3 "if" statements - to just use the "id" value I passed in to identify the right chip in the library to load. My real if chain is actually much longer than three and it's difficult to update ..I know there's a better way to do it...but every way I try throws errors!
Having a hard time trying to resolve this issue, done a bit a of digging but can't find what i'm after. I'm pretty new to AS3 but know that Eval() has gone and been replaced with [] syntax. However, i'm trying to access a dynamic path to a clip and it seems that the array syntax will not allow more than one variable in a path.

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.
how to remove all child of a movieclip if no of child are not known
View 2 Repliesi have a question while reading Flex 4 Cookbook i came across the method to dynamically adding control to the container controls but nowhere i came across with how to provide them with the dynamic properties and events like they have created a button dynamically inside a group control but what good a button be if i cannot give it an event dynamically. in the same way i want to add a tree view inside a vbox but what good that be if cannot provide a data provider to it dynamically.actually i am creating an web application where i add the tree view to a vbox and i want to the data provider should also be dynamic depending upon the option i have selected in the combo box.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to access a parent movieClip from the child movieClip
Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.
I've got a dozen movie clips on stage, each with 3 children, and each of those have 8 children, as example named u01-u08.
Is it possible to access u01 directly without the parent names? like a wildcard? like the xml way of getting to nodes with a .. ?
sort of like: stage..u01.alpha = .5;
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

It's possible to move a dynamic ctreated element or child? Example:
Create childs:

When using the timer class do where do i put what needs to be executed every tick?
View 1 RepliesI have a parent file that loads and unloads swfs depending on which page of the website you are on. In the parent swf, I need to update a dynamic text field to indicate which page you are on. My assumption was that I could simply set a string variable within each child that would provide that title, but I'm having no luck accessing a variable contained within a child.
View 2 RepliesI'm tackling a common situation with heavily nested MovieClips; wanting to be able to signal from a parent MovieClip when all children (and children's children, etc...) are done loading before utilizing the clip.
I'm doing some trickery by having a parent inspect it's children and storing off the onLoad() to a temporary then dynamically adding it's own onLoad() which:

I'm trying to make this game and in trying to make it look more realistic, I'm trying to get the balloon to curve upwards before coming down and hitting the target. Is that even possible? Also, the target are dynamically created with random x and y points, so is it possible to make the end points the x and y point of that target?
View 1 RepliesThe issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;
[Code].....
first I had:
maskedImg = getChildByName("current") as MovieClip;
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and everything worked properly. Then I removed the movieclip from the scene, exported it to Actionscript, and changed the code to
maskedImg = new mymovieclip();
addChild(maskedImg);
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and now I don't see anything on the scene. If I comment out the line assigning the mask I can see the movieclip although. The mask is created dynamically in both cases.
I'm trying to take a variable from the parent movieclip and use it in the child movieclip inside of a dynamic text field.
The variable has a value that is taken from a php file.
I'm completely lost at the moment and know that my code is probably completely wrong.
here it is:
parent movieclip:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("../SC/FLA_cont-btn.php"));
[Code]....
I am trying to add a child in a movie clip and perform basic operations on the child but I cannot get access to the child.
It loads the child to the movieclip "FLine1MC" but it says FLine1MC.ClipArt1 does not exist when I try to change the x location.
function AddArt1(evt:MouseEvent): void {
var ClipArt1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/mypic.gif");
var ClipArt1:Loader = new Loader();
ClipArt1.load(ClipArt1Request);
FLine1MC.addChild(ClipArt1);
FLine1MC.ClipArt1.x = 550;
}
Anybody know what's my error?
By that token, is there a way we can check the exact path of an object?
