ActionScript 3.0 :: Target/control .fla Movieclip From .as Class File?
Jun 18, 2009
I have a Bullet class - which defines and controls the firing of bullets (and works perfectly in all ways) - and now I'd like to add to it the ability to detect if it has hit a spaceship-movieclip sitting in my main .fla's timeline - what's the proper syntax to do this?
here's my code:
Code:
public function moveBullet(e:Event): void {
this.y = this.y - 20; // moves bullet up-screen, shooting vertically
if (this.y <= 0) {

is there any way to target a MovieClip from an external class that's NOT the Document Class?
Is it correct to have the Document Class as Main AND View?

Is there any way to get the name of the MovieClip that a class extends?Lets say I have an MC on stage called boxMC exported for AS using a class box which extends MovieClip.If I trace (this) within my class I will get the name of the class, if I trace (parent) I will get the name of the main MovieClip that boxMC sits within. So how can I target boxMC?Basically I want to be able to return the name of the MovieClip that the class is extending

I was wondering if there is a way to control the volume of a movieclip directly without using the sound class? Or is there a way to control the volume of the entire swf?

qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Here is what I am looking to do. Currently I have a drag and drop built in AS 3 that works perfectly fine, but I'm looking to add one more functionality. What I want to happen is when I drop the correct drag item on it's correct target piece (which is a movie clip) I want my target movie clip to go a head one frame.
So as an example I'm dragging a piece of paper onto a movie clip of of a waste basket. When I drop the piece of paper on it the waste basket, the waste basket movie clip moves a head one frame which shows a crumpled up piece of paper in it. Here is my current code for my drop eventlistener:
function dropMe(event:MouseEvent):void{ event.currentTarget.stopDrag(); if(event.currentTarget.hitTestObject(event.currentTarget._targetPiece )) { event.currentTarget.x = 950; event.currentTarget.y = 100; event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMe); event.currentTarget.buttonMode = false; } else { event.currentTarget.x = event.currentTarget._origX; event.currentTarget.y = event.currentTarget._origY; }}

I am currently using an external Class file for an instance in my .fla project. It creates an instance of that specific class and has it carry out some functions.I want to access a MovieClip on the stage in the .fla file in the external Class file. How can I do this?For example, the Class file creates an instance of that class, and I want the x and y coordinates of that instance to be equal to that of let's say circle_mc. Now circle_mc is on the stage of the .fla file, and therefore cannot be accessed. How can I get around this?

b1OrigX = btn1._x;b1OrigY = btn1._y;
//btn1btn1.onPress = function(){ startDrag(this);}//droptarget = box1btn1.onRelease = function(){ stopDrag(); //droptarge1t

Instead of posting my entire files and such, I'll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome.My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder.On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled "inactive" and the other "active". Here's a sample of very similar code....
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
How do I access item1_mc? In reality I have 6 different clips and I desire to access much more than frame changes...what's the overall best way to be able to interact with an item placed on the stage via an external .as file that is not the document class?

I need to pass a variable value contained within a MovieClip to my class file. The MovieClip is my preloader, to which my code will show that upon the initial launch of the SWF. Until the variable is sent, my code assumes the preloader is still running and therefore will not progress. Originally, it was working when I had my class file extend MovieClip and then used this code in the preloader MC:

I've been searching around all afternoon, and am pulling my hair out. 1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)
Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
[Code]...
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1. I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable? Is there a really easy way to do this with some syntax/command that I have not learned yet?

I am trying to target a TLF Textfield within a movieclip from that movieclips custom class, but the class can't find the instance name. When I trace out the child name it comes up with a random instance name, not the instance name I set on the stage. When I try and target it from the movieclip's timeline it works fine. Is there a class I need to include in my custom class, or is this a bug? I would love to move from dynamic text fields to TLF, but this is a big hurdle.
