Trying to target a button inside a mc in order to trigger a swf. The swf has the same name as the listener in order to repeat the function with multiple swfs. my problem is, i'm getting an error of an Access of undefined property with my mc I geting an error:"
1120: Access of undefined property nav_btns.

when user clicks on Add button, then a pop up button will be opened with certain form elements (like textinput, date field, text area).. When i used 'TAB' inside this form,it is not working.I found in couple of Questions / forums that we need to create an instance of FocusManager and then bring/activate focus for the pop up.But still i didn't see the tab working inside the form.In order to tab order working inside a pop up, what steps we need to follow.
I tried using focusmanager and property like tabfocusenabled, tabenabled and also added taborder inside each form element.Iam using Flash Builder 4.5 and using spark components for development.Is there any workaround for this problem?
This goes for a football (soccer) game. The guy ("messi" is the name of the mc in the script down) is supposed to run all over the field following a random curved trajectory. That works fine, but i cant make the mc to stay inside the limits of the field. I dont wont it to turn (no scale = -100), i want it to keep the curvy movements inside the document dimensions or increase the rotation when it comes close to the edge in order to avoid desapearing. Heres the code:
Code:
var nTurnFactor:Number = 7;
var nBaseTurn:Number = 2;
messi.nAngle = 0;

this concerns flash cs5 and the timeline.Everybody knows the effect you get when you use appendText() to add text to a multiline dynamic textfield, right ? Well, I have a movieClip as a container, and I would like dynamic textfields to populate this movieclip in the same manner as textStrings would populate the dynamic Textfield.
How would this work?I have buttons that trigger addChild() function so as to populate the movieclip with textfields, but how do I make sure that the textfields make up an arbitrary list as a menu user chooses which buttons to click?
Let's say this is the visible text when the swf runs.(I cut away some of the code to make this more to the point):
var buttonTrace:TextField=new TextField;
addChild(TextClip.buttonTrace); buttonTrace.x=0;
buttonTrace.y=0;
buttonTrace.text="Breadcrumbs";
Now for each time I click a button in the menu I've made, a new textfield appears with the name of the button. This is how I want it. BUT......... How do I control the display properties and positioning of dynamic textfields within a movieclip ? How do I control persistent visibility, and how do I make these textfields appear one after the other in the order they were clicked.
I haven't found my answer with a search of the forum, sorry if this is a redundant question. I am having problems with targeting a MovieClip that is inside another Movie Clip that is placed on stage from the Library using the addChild(); method. This is my code for creating the MC instance on stage:
var pMenuSlide:plusMenuSlide = new plusMenuSlide();
addChild(pMenuSlide);
Now, inside of pMenuSlide there is a MC called cloze, how do I target this MC? This does not work: var pMenuCloze:MovieClip = Object(root).pMenuSlide.cloze
ive loaded a movie into another and postitioned it..
_root.abc._x="400";
_root.abc._y="200";
_root.abc.loadMovie("trig_sub.swf");
but once it is loaded where ever i have used _root in the loaded movie (trig_sub.swf) it nolonger works eg..
on a button i have
on(rollOver){
_root.menu.stop();
}[/AS]
bnut this dosent work when it has been loaded into instance "abc" in the main movie...wat do i have to use instead of root to point at an instance?
I'm migrating from as2 to as3 and have a problem. I have a movieclip called papel_ilus which has loaded images inside with text and stuff. I found a Drag And Drop code that constrains the movement of the _x axis and have targeted the papel_ilus movieclip. However, when I click the images inside they are dragged separately from the whole movieclip I targeted and everything is a mess. Is there a way to drag the whole "pack" as one? Here is the code I'm using:
Code:
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
var leftY:int = 0;

I've a main movie with a container movieclip to load an external swf file. That's working fine but I want to control the movieclips of externally loaded movie. I tried the below method but not work out.
Script on the main movie
_root.holder.loadMovie ("1.swf", mytarget); // This is working fine
_root.holder.mytarget.<movieclipname of the externally loaded movie>.onRelease= function (){
// Do something.
}
But the above script not worked out.
When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded? FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to reference a specific frame inside a MC in my .swf file from an .as file. What I want is to capture the current frame of the movie clip for the .as file. It's for the purpose of points when you shoot each plane. It's an easy trick of frame 1's plane would be worth 100 points, frame 2's plane 200 points, etc. I thought I'd write a line like this in my collision detection section of my .as file.
Code:
planePoints = currentFrame * 100;
The only problem is, of course, it grabs the current frame of the main .swf timeline that my flash file uses, and not the movieclip that's being called to produce the planes. So I thought I'd be able to specify a path to the movie clip (in this case it's called Airplane in the MC's linkage properties).
Code:
planePoints = Airplane.currentFrame * 100;
Then, of course, it freaks out and says that 'access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.'
I still get confused with AS3 and the way items are handled vs AS2. I've lost track of how many times I type _root. Am I getting something basic mucked up here or should I be importing something in the package to get it to recognize the class?
How can I target a movieclip that is inside each item in the array using getChildByName. Heres my code so far:
var aMC:Array=new Array(letter, envelope, parcel);
if(i< aMC.length){
var myTargetName:String = aMC[i].target.name;
var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
trace("Stamps Target: "+myTargetName);
if (evt.target.dropTarget != null && evt.target.dropTarget == myTarget) {
// do what ever here
i++;
}}
How can I target an event target that is inside a movie clip?
portfolio_mc.landingBtn1_mc.addEventListener(Mouse Event.MOUSE_OUT, landingRollOutFunc);
ActionScript Code:
function landingRollOverFunc(myEvent:MouseEvent):void {
TweenMax.to(event.target, .2, {scaleX:1, scaleY:1});[code]..........
//This obviously doesn't work but it will provide an idea of what I'm trying to do:
function landingRollOverFunc(myEvent:MouseEvent):void {
TweenMax.to(MYPARENTCLIP.event.target, .2, {scaleX:1, scaleY:1});
}
Just wondering how this is done within an "if then" statement. I need a code like
if (_root.frame = "home") then {
this.quickHome.onPress = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("homeToContact");
}
}
I know the first line isn't going to work, but just wondering if someone knew of a code that would?

I'm trying to trigger this page turn event without having to click the page. I want it to go based on a timer event, where lets say after 30 seconds it turns the page. Unfortunately this is all in AS2, so I'm having trouble figuring out the correct way to go about doing this. function is called startFlip, and I need it to be enabled at 30 seconds instead of an on press function from the page button I originally had.

take for example a button called "buttonGo" that you have specific code in. When you click button b you also want buttonGo to execute its code.
I have music for my site that I want to load from an external file. The external file has a play and stop button in it (which work perfect). I can get the music to load if I make a button that triggers the loadMovie to happen, but can't figure out how to get it to loadMovie using a frame. Basically I just want the main site to load and I want the external music file to load automatically w/o pushing a button or anything. Here's the code I was trying, but the music controller and music never load into the main movie:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
loadMovie("mcMusic.swf", "music_container_mc");
}
I tried that code on the music_container_mc movieclip but it does nothing.
I need several buttons to be within the one mc, having an action (zoom + scale) apply to all of them together.But each button should trigger a second mc that is not within the first mc. (because the second mc should be scaled and zoomed along with the first mc.)So: button placed within mc. What action script to assign to the button to trigger an event not within the mc. ?
View 2 Repliesi have a question, back in AS2 era, if i have an MC on the stage with function as below
mc.onRelease = function() {
trace("RELEASED");
};
i can actually add in another line
mc.onRelease()which will trigger my button event without me actually clicking on it.
I was wondering how can i achieve the same effect in as3?
because i am building a website, and i want the 1st button to trigger itself after it is created on stage.

I saw this done before and know it's possible... I just need some clarity as to the process.

View 2 RepliesI looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?

I guess I could turn the buttons into MC's for the action to take effect, but I've already made them all buttons.
i very often create buttons using movieclips ( basically i cannot remember when was the last time i used an actual "button")usually this stems from complex behaviours i have to script. in this scenario i normally draw a transparent sprite into the clip which acts as a trigger. these transparent triggers can under certain situations cause performance lags. now i wonder if there is any special function in as3 which i maybe overlooked that can act as a trigger without causing performance issues?
