Actionscript 3.0 :: PaperVision - Target Movieclip In MovieAssetMaterial?
Sep 13, 2009
I've been trying for ages to find out how to do this exactly, but haven't had much luck, I'm trying to build a version of my portfolio site using Flash and Papervision, however, I'm having a little trouble coming up with more sophisticated interaction aside from assigning click events to individual objects.
Say I make a MovieAssetMaterial, and inside that material, I place another movieClip.
How do I target that nested movieClip so I can get it to do something? Is it even possible? From what I've researched I need to be using an "InteractiveSceneManager" but I can't find any references on how exactly to implement one.

I am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);
[Code]....
Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.

I have managed to create a Plane with a material that is a running movieClip with 8 frames. The thing is that I want to be able to play and stop that movieClip that's acting as the material of the Plane but can't seem to get to it... That movieClip called "walkingTest" that I'm using as the material, has another movieClip inside it called animatedDoll that is the one I need to play and stop.

I get this error:
1119: Access to a possibly undefined property animatedDoll through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject
But the weird thing is that this:
trace(movieAssetMaterial.movie);
Is working perfect. Here's the code...
Code: Select allpackage{

qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm an actionscript dude - I'm working on a papervision game.
I have an asset of which is 127 pngs in a sequence for an animation.
I can happily project this onto my papervision plane. Problem is, there is no transparency. I Can't use a BitmapFileMaterial as I have many pngs -

I'm doing a project that makes a movieclip draggable in different droptarget movieclip. When it is dragged in the 1st target an animation is triggered and so as the rest of the droptargets.Here's my initial code that does'nt work:
btn1.buttonMode = true;
b1OrigX = btn1._x;b1OrigY = btn1._y;
//btn1btn1.onPress = function(){ startDrag(this);}//droptarget = box1btn1.onRelease = function(){ stopDrag(); //droptarge1t

Its day 3 of learning AS3 for me. I cant seem to target a movieclip within a movieclip. I code with all my actions on the first frame of the root timeline and would like to continue this practice. But when I target the clip from the root my function wont run.
Here is my example:
Code:
wheel_mc.spinBackward_mc.buttonMode = true;
wheel_mc.spinForward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spinForward);
function spinForward(event:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
Basically it wont gotoAndPlay("fadeIn") and I'm not sure why. So my question so I can move on in my AS3 learning is how to I target a movieclip with another movieclip, or is there another more proper way to do what I'm trying to achieve.

I have some buttons working great on my main timeline using this code on the actual timeline[code]...
So I know I need to make Revlon_mc into another movieclip (so I can do the actual animation inside this movie clip and move it easily around the main timeline) but I'm not what the code would be (something to do with parent perhaps??) and would I still keep the code on the main timeline or would it sit within the new moviclip just created?

I have a video player that's control bar's x & y are over the top of the video. It is set to alpha 0, and when the user rolls over the video the control bar's alpha goes to 1 and becomes visible. I have a few even listeners and a function that makes this happen. My issue is that the buffer handle and the volume handle do not go to alpha 0, despite the fact that their parents do. The instance of "volumeHandle" is the child of "volumeSlider". "volumeSlider" does go to alpha 0, then to alpha 1 on rollover, but it's child "volumeHandle, is always visible. The same applies to the respective instances of the buffer bar.
I have tried
volumeHandle.volumeSlider.alpha = 0;
But that doesn't work. My guess is that the conflict lies in the linkage of the controls for the buffer and volume handles.

I changed the question as its seems to be a problem with target not registering children mc/ or nested MovieClips.
var box:Box = new Box();
ground.push(box);
levelPlane.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onOver);
[Code]....
How Do i target the movieclips(BOX) inside of the main MovieClip(levelPlane)?
imagine i have nested 10 boxes inside a MovieClip Called "levelPlane" i want to click on any of the boxes to add another Mc on the box i clicked x,y location.

I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material.

I'm creating a site that allows drag and drop navigation. Here's the current preview:
[URL]
My goal is to allow the user to freely navigate the desktop and explore at their leisure, however, for the user who's a little more impatient I want to offer an option allowing them to click a button on the bottom menu and have the desktop slide directly from the movieclip's current XY coordinates (whatever they are at the time), to a designated XY, and center on that specific section, easing into place.
I've got placeholder buttons, and placeholders for the desired targets, but I can't wrap my mind around the code needed to do it, nor have I found any examples that use the same technique with AS3.

I am trying to build a menu, that loads external swf to target movie clip, in the code below it works if I remove the line target removeChild, but then if a press the other button, just put it on top, so my actual problem is that if I don't have anything loaded in target, this code doesn't work because it can remove child?
menu.btn_avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goseccion);
menu.btn_professors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gofotos);
function goseccion(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var main:Loader = new Loader();
main.load(new URLRequest("seccion_basica.swf"));
target.removeChildAt(0);
target.addChild(main);
