Actionscript 3.0 :: Empty Variable After Switching Timeline / MC?

Jun 21, 2011

I'm having difficulty accessing a variable value within nested MCs.

On Scene 1 in the addFullPanel function, the variable panelNames exists.

However, I'd like to use this variable value within the MC FullProjectPanel in the switch function in order to load a corresponding xml file.

As it stands the variable is empty within the FullProjectPanel function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Switching A Variable's State Back?

Mar 20, 2011

Im currently programming a game and having the character animation respond to the spacebar to play a jump animation.

To cut the code down here is the bit that's the problem:

ActionScript Code:
var space:Boolean = false;
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE && space == false)

[Code]....

The script works great, apart from when the animation is over, the variable 'space' is set to true, but I need it to go back to false after the function has been applied.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External SWF In Empty MC On Main Timeline

Jul 8, 2004

I'm loading an external swf into an empty mc called "emptyMC" on my main timeline. That loaded swf loads another swf into an empty mc called "view2" when a button is pressed. Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("tabletennis.swf", "_root.emptyMC.view2");
}
The above code isn't working right. I'm not sure how to target each empty MC in sequence in order for this to work.

Flex :: External SWF Variable Updates Global Variable In Main Timeline?

Feb 8, 2010

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.

IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Timeline - Variable Changes Value On Its Own?

Feb 23, 2010

I've just started working with Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3 after being away from Flash for almost 10 years.I've set up a menu that allows users to select from five sections. When users select an option, flow goes to the corresponding section of the timeline and a movieclip plays. Stop actions prevent flow from continuing past the current section. A home button takes users back to the menu in the first frame. This works just fine.The client wants to provide a 'next' button which should play through all sections in sequence when the learner clicks it. I've defined a variable which I set to true when the user clicks 'next'. I've added if...else logic to the stop actions:

trace("nextClicked "+nextClicked);[code]....

This should stop flow unless the play button has been pressed setting the variable nextClicked to true. That's not what happens - flow stops even if when I click the 'next' button. I added the trace to verify the variable has the correct value and discovered that the variable value resets to false from true before it gets to this script.What am I missing about ActionScript 3 that might account for this behaviour?I have tried to read the Actionscript 3 materials but I get bogged down in the complexity of the programming requirements and the lack of depth in the examples provided.I'm sure the examples are perfectly adequate if you're trying to do what they illustrate but I haven't found an example that fits what I'm trying to do here.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Access Timeline Variable

Apr 13, 2007

I have a movie clip I'm duplicating.

This movie clip is only one frame long and has a couple variables and functions in an actions layer on that first frame.

When I duplicate the movie clip I can't access either the variables on the timeline or the functions.

MovieClipA
var blee
var blah
var tempClip:MovieClip = MovieClipA.duplicateMovieClip('createdClip', 100);
trace(tempClip.blee) // This comes back undefined.

Is it not possible to retain the variables and functions inside a movie clip when it gets duplicated?

I know you can define the variables and functions after the duplication but I'd like to be able to have them almost like class attributes / methods for when a new clip is duplicated.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Assigning Variable On Different Timeline?

May 7, 2011

I'm using Flash CS4 Professional. I'm new to Flash, taking an on-line college class, and we 've gotten to ActionScript. The entire second page of 'web site' is a movieclip. The mc includes 2 input text boxes and a button. Clicking the button is supposed to take the movie to page 3, a frame on the main timeline. Finally got that to work with 'with (_root) gotoAndPlay ("frame label")'. Page 3 contains 2 dynamic text boxes and I've tried several versions of _root and _parent dot syntax paths and tried 'with (_root)' but I cannot get values from the input boxes in the movieclip to show up in the dynamic boxes on the main timeline.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable From Root Timeline Into MC?

Aug 15, 2009

I'm guessing this is pretty simple, I just can't find the solution through my google searches.

Bascially I created a variable and gave it a value in the first frame of my main timeline.

Now I just want to pass that variable into a MovieClip. When I trace the value of the variable within the movieClip I get undefined.

Is there something else I have to do to make it recognize the root timeline's variable?
