CS4 :: Accessing Child MovieClip's Current Frame?
Jul 12, 2009
I have a character that I want to animate. Now each part of his body is a separate movieclip. What I want is that, for example, if you imagine the shoe MovieClip, I want to give it three frames - from the front, from the side, and bent.
So when I animate the character MovieClip, I would like it if I could keyframe the currentframe of the shoe MoveiClip, if that makes any sense. It's easy enough to do in ActionScript, but the problem with that is the change isn't visible until I test the movie, and when animating it's useful to see exactly what the character looks like at each frame. Is there any way of setting the current frame of child MovieClips when animating?

Is it possible to add a child to the current frame only?
I know you can just remove/hide them, and generate/show them again.
But isn't there an easier way?

I'm trying to access a parent movieClip from the child movieClip
Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.

The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;

I want to add a child to a movieclip on the stage and then modify its opacity, but I got a problem, when I try this:
ActionScript Code:
var a = new LibraryItem();
mconstage.addChild(a);
mconstage.a.alpha = 0.5;
I get an error saying that mconstage.a is undefined... and in fact if I trace it I get "undefined".

I have my stage and on it is one MovieClip that contains another MovieClip... Now I have a document class calledMain. Here it is
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
Personally, I prefer just having separate classes fo each object then bring them all together at compile-time, but someone I know had a problem with his game which had a lot of embeded movieclips already on the stage.
how I could go about accessing the Sprite "lmao" which is on Frame 2 of the "omg" MovieClip?

how to access a movie clip/s in a parent swf from a child swf. for example:Interface swf has buttons as mc's (home, about, services, portfolio e.t.c.) and loads in a swf when one of the buttons in the interface swf is pressed. When a button in Interface swf is pressed none of the other buttons can be pressed until the swf of the button that was pressed has loaded.
The reason for this is so that if the user tries to press the buttons quickly lets say the user pressed services button but changed thier mind right after pressing it and wanted to press lets say portfolio button they couldnt press the button until the services swf has loaded. Ive seen websites that dont do this and is makes it all mess up. Ive been able to do this in the past in AS2 but i cant figure it out in AS3.This is the code i would use in AS2:
Interface swf code is:
ActionScript Code:
_level5.btn_1.enabled = false;[code]...........

how can I get the current frame of a MovieClip.It's an animation that just loops over and over when its opened with ctrl+enter.On the stage its just one layer and one frame, but when it's double clicked, it has its own timeline with 20 frames.
Actionscript Code:
//what i had but it shows frame 1trace(myMovieClipInstance.currentFrame);
display the current frame when it changes. So something with a while loop. Like while the movie clip is playing, display the current frame.

i want to check the current frame of movieclip that it play's after i press a btn!
my script look something like this:
Code:
sub_meniu.sub2.onPress = function () {
this._parent._parent._parent.Mcs.play ();
checkCurrentFrame ();
[Code]....
This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.

In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}

I've got a button that tells a movie clip to play its animation (goto and play frame 2), but I only want it to play that frame if the current frame is frame 1 - meaning that I don't want people to be able to keep clicking the button while the clip is playing and have the clip restart.
I'm guessing it would be something like:
If ( current frame is frame 1 ) { goto and play frame 2 }
But I can't seem to get it to work.

2. Hmm... i guess if we make Browsers on Flash its IMPOSSIBLE lol...
3. Do you know Windows ?, if we click and hold the title bar it will dragging, and if we click and hold the inside of windows, it will NOT Dragging.
4. Load an EXTERNAL SWF.
5. Load an External MUSIC or SOUND.
6. Save Current Setting, like changing the username it will ask you want to save your current setting?, yeah like that. the game is shooting, kicking, punching. there's Enemies, Traps, and Fall into Fire or something he will die.. i need basic of it..

detect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.

I have a movieclip placed on the stage called splashScreen. Inside this movieclip i have a button called easy_btn on the second frame but every time i try and access this button from the main timeline using actionscript i get the message TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm not sure why because i think i have referenced it properly. Here's my code -

So groups i created: home, about, porfolio, contact, affiliates, topbar, menu.I use Creative Suite 3 or CS3I then imported the groups into flash as movieclips, using the import to stage function. here is the image of the main scene in the flash. (SEE IMAGE 1st thumbnail)I created a new layer on top of all the layers and used labels at equal intervals to differentiate between pages.here's the image depicting the same.(SEE IMAGE 2nd thumbnail)Now in the home movie clip, i made all the text layers as movie clips to make button animations and assigned sounds and actions to them i.e. rollver, rollout andclick events. here's the swf.(PM ME FOR SWF)I want to know the code or method to load the frame labelled ''about'' in the main scene when i click on the movieclip button 'about' which is in the movieclip 'home'. Here's the code i tried for the first 'about' button, but it returns error "1120: Access of undefined property event."

I have tried this a dozen different ways and I really am at my wits end.
I have a presentation that works like a powerpoint. Everything is working as it should, except one part. I have a movie clip with an instance named slides, and I want to actively display which frame number you are in this move clip.
I have tried more than one why but I see no reason why this should not work:
var frameNum:Number = this.slides.currentFrame;
this.frameText.text = "P�quina " + frameNum + " de 173";
It appears to work at first, but does not update when I navigate the slides. It constantly says 1. Before I just added a function to the back and next buttons to frameNum++ and frameNum--, but after I created the Menu I would prefer it to automatically detect what frame it is on.

i have a parent movieclip mcA and i want to add another movieclip mcB (child movieclip) inside mcA such that the extra part of mcB is hidden. The size of movieclip remains same as of mcA
For ex:-
mcA = 300x300
mcB = 400x400
then only 300x300 of mcB movieclip is visible and rest of the part is hidden.

Ok, here's my requirement in short-I have a datagrid that is updated every time data update is received. Now, all I want to do is check if the present value in every cell in a specific datagridcolumn is less than the new value then color that particular cell green, if the present value is greater than the new value then color it red, else leave previous color as it is. Simple?Now, the coloring part is important but comes later. As of now, I need to know how to get present cell data in the labelfunction of the datagridcolumn.
// column is a datagridcolumn
column.labelFunction = function(oData:Object)

I have a video gallery that generates a menu from xml.I first create a container then add textfields as menu items to the container I have listeners for mouse OVER on OFF for each menu item as welll as a function to change the text color ON CLICK.What I need to do is figure out how to switch a previously clicked menu item's text color back to "OFF" color when a new menu item is clicked But I Can not figure out how to traverse the display heiracrhy to get to the textField's color in all the other menu items.
heres the function:
ActionScript Code:
//create Moviclip to hold menu
function createMenuContainer():void
{
[code]....
so the video menu item's heirachy is some thing like
getChildByName("menu_container").getChildByName("v ideo_"+ c).getChildByName("title_text").textColor
but of course this does not work. I think my logic is reasonably sound I just not sure of the correct syntax to get at the textField.textColor of all the other menu items that ARE NOT clicked on the Mouse Click Event of a menu item that is clicked.
