ActionScript 3.0 :: Target A Timer That Is Declared On The Main Time Line?
Dec 10, 2009
So here's the run down. I'm trying to target a timer that is declared on the main time line (frame1) from within a movieclip. So here is the code for the timer on the main timeline:
ActionScript Code:
var timer1:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer1.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timedFunc1);
timer1.start();
The name of the movieclip is ssRightMask_mc. I'm trying to get the currentCount from timer1, but I'm having some targeting issues. I've tried:

how to return to the main time line from within my movie clip. I thought it was something like _root.gotoAndPlay(4); but all I'm getting is errors.

My issue is that for my website I want there to be movies in between the interactive parts of it where the interfaces slide in and out. However, I can't stop a movie from playing over and over instead of playing once and going to the next frame.With 2.0 I haven't been able to find any research that helps me, probably because I don't know the correct keywords to search for.Right now I have my main time line set up with a loading bar on frames 1 & 2, that then jumps to frame 3 where I have embedded a movie (Instance named: mc_start) of the interface sliding in. Preferably after that I need it to jump to frame 4 where the actual interface is.
I can get the movie to end by going into the embedded movie's time line and simply have stop() ; at the final frame, but I can't get it to go to frame 4 on the main time line. If I having something like gotoAndPlay(4) ; on the final frame of the embedded movie's time line, it simply goes to frame 4 of the embedded time line and not frame 4 of the main time line. If there was a command to make it jump back to the main time line instead of the embedded time line, that would work perfectly.Coding on Frame 3 of the main time line to jump to Frame 4 would work if I knew the correct language to detect when the movie has ended (Movie is 191 frames long), so that afterwards it would immediately jump to Frame 4, but I haven't been able to find any resources that will teach me how to do it. Right now having gotoAndPlay(4) ; on Frame 3 of the main time line obviously makes it immediately skip the movie on Frame 3 and jump to Frame 4.

What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

is there a way to reach the stage (the main time line) from ANYWHERE.In AS2 it was _root...The aim is : I want to add on stage an MC from within a class. As expected, addChild(mc) doesn't work, it adds the child to my class, not to the stage. So : is there any stage.addChild(mc) or MainTimeLine.addChild(mc) or anything like this ?The other way is to add the class on stage addChild(MyClassName).

I'm making a quiz-type animation, since I'm new with ActionScript I had developed my own way to make this work. I want to add like a meter that shows one out three position depending on the answer given, I had made this animation as a movieclip but now I need it to react according to the answer, so it changes on every question to do that I need to access the variables I'm using in the main time line, how can I access the the main time line variables from the movie clip? The movie clip (meter) is basically the background and the questions will change and advance on top of that movie clip so it'll change with each answer until you get the final result.

I received an AS file from an outside source and I want to understand the what MovieClip(root) is doing? I know there is a movieClip on the stage called "field" and with in it a dynamic text field called "txt" and that this text field is being tied into a css class. But I don't quite get the MovieClip(root) part.Is this just a way of saying that the text field you are targeting is on the main time line? [code]

I'm making a movie w/ no interactivity and I want to put a series of movie clips on the main time line, each to play after the previous movie clip is done. The only way I can make it work is to put the movie clips in keyframes and then allow all all the frames for the movie to play. My movie is way too long and I know there has to be a better way! I'm trying to figure out the action to assign to the keyframe that will play the movie clip within that one frame and when it's done, go on to the next movie clip.

I've a movieClip called "picChange" and inside that movieClip, there is another movieClip called "picFrame" and inside that movieClip there are three movieClips called "HolderL1", "HolderL2", "HolderL3". I use these 3 movieClips to attach movieClips(questions for game) from library. I put movieClip inside movieClip to add some animation while it loads. I used following code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<3; i++) {
var pic_mc:String = "picLeft" + ranque[i];
var que_mc_class:Class = getDefinitionByName(pic_mc) as Class;

Using Child Navigation to load main time line.I am new to AS3 and have done pretty well but have been caught up this area.I have been loading swfs into a loader (imageLoader) which has been added to the stage using addChild. Then with buttons and functions I load other swfs into the same loader which replace each other. I now have an swf "testProject3a.swf" loaded into (imageLoader) which has icons for navigation and when each icon is clicked I need it to load another swf into (imageLoader) and replace it's self "testProject3a.swf" with "portalB.swf".I've tried adding removeChild code to the loaded swf but it removes the original (imageLoader) and the other buttons have nothing to load into.[code]

Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

My current project imports the following on the root time line
[Code]...
I then have a series of movieclips in my library that get loaded in as required at run time using addChild. In each of these movieclips I am having to use the same import commands or I get an error. Is there a way of me changing my code in some way so I only need to use the imports once in the main time line?

In my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.

I can't seem to be able to correctly set a time in addition to the date. When I just set a target date, all is well, but when I try to set an actual time within that date, the timer jumps to it's completion when run.
I think maybe I'm just not understanding the format needed:
Code:
// Date( year, month-1, date [, hour [, minute [, second [, millisecond]]]])
eventDate = new Date( 2004, 05, 12);
how to enter, say, June 12th 2004 at 8:00 am? This must be pretty obvious, but I'm obviously missing something here (I'm a beginner when it comes to flash).

I have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
