CS3 Can't Get Changed Var To Control Movieclip
Apr 1, 2009
I've a basic portfolio page with 5 links. The idea being that 4 stay small and the active page is a larger font. When one link is clicked, itself and whatever font is currently large both swoop down and then the large text is replaced by whatever section the user chose.
I haven't keyframed anything, it's all done with actionscript and here it is. I made one of the links show what the var is currently set to in a dynamic text box. That all seems right. But whenever the 'currentchoice' mc is asked the swoop down, it just disappears rather than animates out. Here's the actionscript.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var currentchoice:Object = new Object();
currentchoice.selection = large_anne;
[Code].....

I am creating an searchbox for a tablet application. On entering any text the results appear below as a list. Now I want to change color of that part of the text that is there in searchbox.So which text control would allow me to do that. I found that RichText is one such control but Adobe recommends not to use it for mobileDevices.

When I change color with
var blue:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
blue.color = 0xFF00B8E7;
MovieClip.transform.colorTransform = blue;
[Code]....
How can I add this bevel over or on the new color that I changed?
It seems like that the bevel takes all colors as the new color that I changed, not taking the one I specified
myBevel.highlightColor = 0xFFFFFF;
myBevel.shadowColor = 0x000000;

Changing the width and height of the parent MovieClip does not bring change in the width and height of the inner MovieClip. The parent MovieClip is placed at Stage and is resized manually. When I assign the dimension of the parent MovieClip to the inner MovieClip through code, the parent MovieClip dimension is changed. I want both MovieClip to be of same width and height at runtime. However, parent MovieClip dimension is changed at design time by me.
Example:There are two MovieClip, one inside another. Now parent MovieClip is placed at Stage at design time and its dimension is (50,50) and the child MovieClip which is inside the parent MovieClip has also same dimensions (50,50). Now, I manually change the parent MovieClip dimension by pressing Q and stretching it with mouse, the dimension of the parent MovieClip is now (100,150) or whatever I like. Now double-click on parent MovieClip and check that inner MovieClip dimension remains same i.e. (50,50)Now in AS3 code, I change the width and height of inner MovieClip like this:
saveheight = parentmc.height;
savewidth = parentmc.width;
now I change the child MovieClip according to the dimensions of the parent MovieClip like this:
parentmc.inner_mc.width = parentmc.width;
parentmc.inner_mc.height = parentmc.height;
but this brings change in parentmc also so I reassign value to parentmc like this:
parentmc.height = saveheight;
parentmc.width = savewidth;
In above case, parentmc and inne_rmc dimension should be same i.e (100 ,150). With swapping the values as above, I get parentmc and inner_mc to be of same dimension, but object size is never (100, 150), I have checked it with pixel-perfect air app.

I have one Sprite which acts as a container for two other Sprites. One has a picture the other has a series of hotspots.
If i change the scaleX and scaleY of the picture, the hotspots don't line up anymore. Do you know the correct equation so that any scale i set will always make the hotspots appear at the right place?
I'm trying stuff like this:
hotspot.x *= scaleFactor;
hotspot.y *= scaleFactor;
but i can't quite sort it.

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I have 2 movieclips on the main timeline of my movie; One (mc) contains an animation, the other (bt2) contains a button (bt) with code. I want it so when the button (bt) is clicked, it causes the animation (mc) on the main timeline to play.
The button's code is contained inside bt2.
So far I've tried the following things...
Code:
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{bt2(root).mc.play();}
[Code].....
... along with several other things. Nothing is working at all, and I spent all last night looking for a solution with none in sight.

I've created some animated buttons (using movieclips of keyframe animation) and when the mouse goes over the button it starts a new animation sequence.now I would like to add some text when the mouse goes over the button but I tried adding the text I want to a new layer of the animation but obviously this just plays for the duration of the animation sequence or if I add another keyframe so it only shows for a short time then it will flash up each time the sequence loops around (I don't want the overstate sequence just to play once - I want it to keep going while the mouse is over the button)

I was wondering if there is a way to control the volume of a movieclip directly without using the sound class?
Or is there a way to control the volume of the entire swf?

In Flash/ActionScript2, is it possible to capture the mousemove, buttonup and down event but only within one MovieClip? At present, i can capture mousemove etc. via a listener, but only for the entire stage..I need to draw a rectangle for selecten, and then press a save button. The problem is i save the coordinates on mousedown and up, but when I press on the save button, it saves the coordinates of when you pressed on the save button...I've tried mc.onXY, but that either listened not at all or to the entire stage...
Edit: Code as requested
mc.onMouseDown
should be
mcImageToCrop.onMouseDown
I did change it back to mc when mcImageToCrop didn't work...

I'm trying to control the information that will be shown in the textBox that is located in one of the frames of the movieClip but it seems that in actionScript 3.0 the code has changed. does anyone know what is the new code for doing it? My aim is that if I define a "var" on the stage and get a certain letter in that var then that letter will be shown in the movieClip in the key Frame that the textbox was set

I am trying to control a MovieClip around a scene. I know I can do this using the well known:
Code:
function onEnterFrame()
{
if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
[Code]....
It appears that the function downListener is unable to see the class scoped variable xvel though I do not iunderstand why.

I'm doing a simple game. When two objects collide, a function is activated with a movie clip of an animated explosion. I wonder how to do to control this animation so it's played two times? Just a simple for loop?Then another thing, how to create a short delay so that the code don't jump away direct without showing the explosion when there is code like gotoAndStop in the end of the function? Perhaps I also whant a tweeing rotation of the explosion movie clip before leaving the function? In some way it seem like it would be necessary with some delay?

I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger.
I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip.

here is the AS i am having trouble with
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.this.nextFrame();
[code]....
I want to make it so when i roll over my movie clip (that i attach this AS to), a different movieclip is controlled. This AS
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
[code]....
Works great, when using 'this' for the prev and next frame control but i cant figuire out how to control a different movieclip on root.

I can't find a way to control object overlaping. In example: Object1 colided with Object2 -> If Objext1y > Object2y then Object2 should go to back, I mean Object1 has to overlap it. Is there a special action for control of object to be showed in front of other object?
