ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Button Within A Movieclip To Go To The Root?

Dec 4, 2008

I made a script for the file that i am working with that hasbuttons located within 2 movieclips. I want that button to load andimage into a UILoader (problemLoader_mc) that I placed on the stageon the main timeline (the timeline that contains WeekBar_mc). Theproblem is that I don't know how to get to the root of the file tostart a new directory to tell my function to load the image i want.I have tried multiple approaches including:

MovieClip(root).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
MovieClip(parent).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
root.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]

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();
}

Make Button In Movieclip Target Back To Main / Root Timeline?

Oct 1, 2009

I have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline.[code]...

Actionscript 3 :: Aligning Movieclip With Root/stage Movieclip?

Apr 23, 2010

How do you align a dynamic movie clip position with another movie clip which is in the root stage? I tried to get the mc in root x,y position, but the starting point of the class that loads the dynamic MC does not seems to be accurate. (Meaning at the root stage, the x,y is 0,0 but at the dynamic class, its somewhere like 100,20 for the browser area (and it actually vary base on the browser size))

**the other classes I used to run the custom classes below, I have it added this MC to stage

var blocker:stageBlocker=new stageBlocker();
this.stage.addChild(blocker);

Below is the dynamic MC. Should I not add it to its own "stage"?

public class stageBlocker extends MovieClip {
private var blocker:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
public function stageBlocker():void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access The Root Timeline From A Movieclip

Feb 24, 2010

I have a movielclip, nav_mc, inside which contains my navigation buttons. Lets say I want to effect the time timeline. Before in AS 2.0 I could simply go

jan1_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.january_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
}

Now in AS 3.0, nothing works.

button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, doIt);

function doIt(evt:MouseEvent):void {
_root.january.gotoAndStop(2);
}

That doesn't work. Returns this in errors:

Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..

Neither does

root.january.gotoAndStop(2)

or

stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
(1119: Access of possibly undefined property ball_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.)

or

_stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)

or anything!

How do we do this very simple thing now in AS 3.0

TLDR;

How do I reference the _root timeline in AS 3.0 since _root. no longer works in 3.0

blueMC.play();
_root.blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
on(load){
blueMC.play();
} onClipEvent(load) {

Shouldn't it just be this?:
