ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload An Attached MovieClip By A Click In The Movie Clip Itself
Jan 7, 2011
I have an AS3 project (publishing to FP10) where I load a custom made window from the main movie. The custom made window is saved in the Library and has a close button (called exitinteraction_btn).
I manage to load the window from the main movie with the following:
var WinA = new windowa(); addChild(WinA); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "x", Elastic.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "y", Strong.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true);
This is the code in my custom window (which I cannot manage to close and have it remove itself from the main movie when clicked):
exitinteraction_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeI);
function closeI(e:Event):void{ this.unloadAndStop();
}
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: unloadAndStop is not a function. at windowa/heyb()

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.

I'm working with a MovieClip ("mainMenuItem") that is linked to a Class ("GenericMenuItem.as") that uses attachMovie to add another movieclip ("Arrow") to mainMenuItem as follows:mcArrow = this.attachMovie(prefix+"Arrow", "_Arrow_symbol", this.getNextHighestDepth());I'm able to use on(release) within the Class definition to capture clicks on the mainMenuItem component, but haven't been able to find a way to detect a click on the "Arrow" library item that gets attached to that component.

I'm trying to create a little game in with AS2 that makes the user hit targets. When a target has been hit, the scores amend accordingly (1 point is added to the score). Some of these targets are static, so I have made them buttons. Others are supposed to be moving around the stage, so they're movie clips. Now, with the buttons, my script works beautifully: The scores amend every time I release the button, just as I want them to. I have tried making the movie clips perform the same actions and have succeeded partly, BUT:
1) When I click on a movie clip, the scores will amend only once (i.e. the first time I click on the clip). No matter how many more times I consecutively click on it, nothing happens. It only changes the scores again when I click on another button or other item on the stage and then go back and click on the mc. But I want the movie clip to react the same as the buttons, i.e. add 1 point every time I click on it. (Consecutive clicks = points added consecutively according to number of clicks)
2) When I try to go from the button to the movie clip and then back to the button, the scores should amend automatically with EVERY click. But what happens is, for instance: I click on the movie clip and +1 is added to the score. Then I click on a button - and actually, what it should do is add another +1 as soon as I go and click on that button. But it doesn't. It does not react when I switch from clicking on mc to clicking on button. After having clicked on the mc, I have to click on the button *two* times in order to make it work, because it will not react upon the first click.

I have a layer called SCRIPT and on the first frame i put an actionscript that attach a movieclip (attachMovie). After i attach that movie clip i set the _x and _y coordinates to a specific place. This movie clip has a combo box inside.On another layer i have a button, when you click on this button i attach a movie clip (attatchMovie), this is the same movieclip i attached before on the first frame of SCRIPT layer.Here is the problem, when you click on the button for second time the movieclip attached go to coordinates 0,0.but, if a open the movieclip and delete the combobox everything works fine.Im including a very simple fla file to illstrate the problem, feel free to download it to see what im talking about.

I've attached a movie clip using the attachMovie method. I was wondering if it's possible to handle the attached movie clip... I don't know if I'm expaining this correctly but I'd like my movie clip to perform some simple actions (gotoAndPlay, Stop)This is my (lame) script:
//Ataching clip
this.emptyClip.attachMovie("photo001","Img001",get NextHighestDepth());
//Action for the attached clip
this.emptyClip.gotoAndPlay("starting");

Basically its an onPress event handler on a movie clip that attaches another movie to it when pressed.The problem is, I only want the movie clip to be attached once in the designated x,y coordinates, no matter how many times the main object is pressed. I'm essentially trying to write my own FreeTransform script, that allows users to resize the object.
Below is the my source code:
ActionScript Code:
chair_mc.onPress = function() {
var bounds:Object = chair_mc.getBounds(this);

I currently am creating a game where you shoot at targets that randomly appear. I have them set to be randomly generated via an attachMovieClip object, and all works well... EXCEPT that whenever it generates the clip from the Library, the instance is WAY above the rest of movie (layer-wise)!
This means that my custom-crosshairs cursor, for instance, is always behind the target and thus the user cannot mouseDown and shoot it.

apply actions to an attached/created movie clip at runtime? I.E. You use attachMovieClip to attach a clip, and then you add a startDrag/stopDrag system to it dynamically.

I have xml which is loaded in a movie clip but i can't seem to be able to unload that movie clip when i need to. I tried everything and the code seems right. I'm guessing it's because of some kinda path issue. Maybe someone else might see something i'm missing.
This is the code i am using to load the xml in the movie clip:
Code:
var r = _root;
r.clipArr = new Array();
r.menuXml = new XML();

Here is the file that i am working on. Just download it from my server and take a look:

I created a movie clip (mcPopup), deleted it from the stage, and set it to export for ActionScript. I then set up the movie to attatch the clip to the stage and then load a JPEG image into it. Now, I need to be able to let the viewer dismiss the popup, but I cannot figure out how to add an event listener to the movie clip. I tried several different ways, but the popup doesn't seem to be clickable and doesn't respond to clicks (perhaps the image is in the way?) Here is what I have for the code for the thumbnail the visitor clicks to open the popup:
on (release)
{
_root.attachMovie("mcPopup", "popup_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

I cant figure out how to unload a movie clip. I thought i knew how, but its not working and i've tried everything i can think of.I'm loading an external swf like this:[code]This works fine. It loads an external swf that plays a youtube video. However, whenever i click on my navigation buttons to go to another page (basically another movieclip in teh _root level, it does not unload the youtube player and it keeps playing. Further more, if i go back to that page, the youtube player loads again and starts repeating itself.I thought by adding the following code to all my navigational buttons, the youtube player would unload, but it doesn't:[code]
