ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting A Nested Mc Timeline From A Main Timeline?

Dec 30, 2009

I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting The Main Timeline From Within A MC?

Feb 3, 2011

I have this project that will basically work like a slideshow. I am trying to do things the right way and avoid scenes so I am building each slide as a separate mc and then placing them on the main timeline. What I'm trying to do is get the playback head to advance to the next frame on the main timeline once the mc reaches its last frame. I have found code that works but it seems pretty ghetto:
 
var _root:MovieClip = MovieClip(root)
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, text2);function text2 (myevent:Event):void { _root.gotoAndStop("slide2");}

I guess I have two basic questions:

1. What is the proper way to target a frame on the main timeline from within a mc in as3?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Main Timeline From AttachMovie?

Nov 18, 2008

I'm working on this project, where i attach movies to an empty movieclip. In these attached movies, i have a button that needs to target a function on the main timeline. Example:

on the main timeline, i have an action that loads a bitmap onto the background: loadBitmapSmoothed("background.jpg",bg_con); On the main timeline, i also have a button with following action:

on(release){
this.mc_holder.attachMovie("MC_products",1);
}

Then, in the attached movieclip i have a button that needs to swap the image previously loaded into the 'bg_con'-movieclip, like thus:

on(release){
_root.loadBitmapSmoothed("product_1.jpg",bg_con);
}

For some reason, this doesn't work. I've also tried using _level0. but nothing happens.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip With Button On Main Timeline - Targeting Root?

Oct 31, 2011

If I have a movieclip on the main timeline, and a button in that movie clip. How would I go about getting it to advance the main timeline to its next frame? I understand that in AS3 movie clips are not connected to the timeline in the same way as they are in AS2 but I dont understand why the following works, or if there is a better way?

stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent) {
MovieClip(this.root).nextFrame();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Sections In Main Timeline From Separate Menu SWF?

Jan 16, 2006

[URL]

I made a site, but the menu isn't loading properly. If you reload the page the menu loads, but not sure why not loading every time.

Right now menu and site sections in main SWF file. Maybe I put the menu into a separate SWF file it would load properly?

If the site sections are in the main SWF timeline, then how do I do the actionscript for the menu buttons?

Ie)
menu in level7
main site in level0
site sections are "product section", "about us section", "glossary section" on main timeline

So I'm not loading any SWFs, just moving between sections on main timeline.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested MC Control Main Timeline MC?

Dec 1, 2011

actionScript 2.0
flash mx4 pro

here is a description of the flash movie.I have a map of the world on the main timeline that is a movie. The map is compiled of buttons that navigate the main timeline to named frames. -Ex. If you click Africa from the world map you are taken to the �Africa� named frame on the main timeline. This works perfectly.At the Africa named frame on the main timeline I have replaced the world map with a large map of just Africa. This large Africa map is a movieclip instance that has script on it to be draggable. This works perfectly.

The Africa map contains little movieclips that blink. I would like the little blinking movieclips to control the alpha of a movieclip (when rolled over/off) that is on the main stage and timeline.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Nested MovieClips From The Main Timeline

Jun 3, 2009

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Nested Button Access MovieClip On Main Timeline

Feb 5, 2010

I have a button inside a movieclip. When the button is clicked I want it to make a movieclip in the main timeline go to a specific frame. what's the code I need to use to define that movieclip located on the main timeline? Right now I have my code written inside the movieclip where the button is located because I have multiple buttons on multiple frames, and I don't know the syntax to define a button in a specific frame inside a movieclip.

Here's my current coding...
Code:
Select allfunction bwbtn2(btn:SimpleButton,frame:Number) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function() {photobw_img.gotoAndStop(frame);});
}
bwbtn2(bw19_btn,19);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button In Nested Mc Needs To Jump Back To Main Timeline?

Mar 4, 2008

so i have a main timeline and a nested one. the main timeline has a button named "how_btn" that plays the nested mc (named "how"). once i get into playing "how", i have a button named "menu" that i want to bring the user back to the main timeline (where the "how" button is). this is how i scripted:

how_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("how");
}
menu_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("nav");
}

the how button script works, however the menu button does not. is this b/c it's in a nested mc? i tried specifying the root, but that didn't do it either.

Jan 29, 2012

I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button. I added an event listener to the blog button by saying[code]...

i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clip Timeline To Main Timeline Coding?

Oct 9, 2009

I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.

Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:

btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.

IDE :: Calculate How Long A Symbols Timeline Should Be So It Maches The Main Timeline?

Jul 4, 2009

I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.

The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).

How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.
