ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Reset Movieclips And Swf's?
Nov 27, 2011
I have been trying to work out a way to reset movieclips and swf's. I have like a website, and when a button is pressed, a new page loads. This page might be an internal movieclip, or it might be an external swf. I create my movieclips like
[code]...
Everything loads and unloads perfectly. The problem I am having is say I load a movieclip which is several layers deep. For instance spaces_mc loads a page where there is initially 3 buttons. If I choose one of these buttons, I go into the image gallery associated with this button. Say I then navigate to another page, and then back to spaces_mc, I will be displayed with the image gallery I was at before, instead of being at the beginning point as if I was loading it for the first time (the page with the 3 buttons). So I need some way of resetting things. Where I use a loader, I think I could probably use unloadAndStop(true). I am not sure how I can do this for the movieclips though, where no loader is used.

I'm rather wet to AS3, and have been working on developing a site that can deal with a lot of content sections. Ignoring the fact that I haven't figured out button arrays yet, I was hoping to get some help on an issue I can't get past.
I've got a series of content movieclips which I'm controlling with menu buttons. As you can see below, they turn visible/invisible by clicking the menu buttons.
However, I can't seem to find a solution to reload the movieclips once a different menu button is selected, so each section stays forever in its previously "played" state when the button is clicked again. Is there a way to get the "content_section" movieclips to re-load or re-set once another navigation button is pressed?

Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.

reset in google yields only its use for timers.However I have code bg.reset() which I suppose puts the background back to the beginning of its timeline.

With out getting into a ton of background I am wondering if there is a command that will reset all the variables in a swf at once with out having to do them individually?
I've googled and searched my books and can't find anything. Another option I could see is having the current flash reload, that would set everything back to the start but I couldn't find how to do that either.
Anyone know?

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

I am trying to make a game in Flash using Action Script 3,
I have everything in the game and the game works, but I am trying to add a restart function so the game will go back to the start of the level when you pres the 'R' key.
My game starts off with a title screen on Frame 1, and there are 2 levels, 1 is in frame 2 and the other is in frame 3.
When you click the level you want on the title screen it takes you to the frame which has the required level in it by using a gotoAndStop[code]...

ok - i'm totally confused here... this is probably a stupid noob question... just recently got flash 8 - upgrading from mx2004, but had previously been using flash 6 components and AS1, due to files that had already been written in mx... my problem is this - i have a dynamic text field, populated with data from a LoadVars object. When a button is pressed, different data is loaded into the text field, and the scrollBar is supposed to reset to the top (position=0)
