IDE :: AttachMovie And Calling Nested Movieclip Not Working?
Apr 10, 2010
I have 2 nested move clips in this order.
mc_a (grand parent)
mc_b (parent)
[Code]....
Now, I have a button on the stage. I am trying to load mc_a on stage using the linkage, and trying to load an image that replaces c_inst.
I am using:
on(release)
{
_root.attachMovie("a_call", "a_called", 1)
_root.loadMovie("image1.jpg", _root.a_called.b_inst.c_inst)
}
But so far it only attaches the movie, doesn't load the image.

I have an instance of a movie clip that runs and after it runs I want it to call a frame to gotoAndStop back on the main timeline (stage). What is the code for that? When the animation ends, I am simply giving it a stop(); and then I want it to go to the next frame on the main timeline. I think this used to be _root in AS2.

I have a button and when you press it it attaches a MC and calls a other function called showProductInfo().
Code:
_root["pod"+i].sub.pinfo.onRelease = function(){
_root.attachMovie("popup", "popuper", i);
_root.popuper.showInfo(i);
}
And in the popop/popuper MC I have the function showInfo(id) in the first frame. But I can't get it to work.
Code:
function showInfo(id){
this.txt.text = id;
}

I am trying to attachMovie from array.
Here it goes like this:
var __reg3 = new Array ("1", "2", "3", "4");
_root.p1.attachMovie(__reg3[0] + 1, "run1", 1); -- Not working
Then I tried using string:

Then I tried this
_root.p1.attachMovie(" "" +test1+" "", "run1", 1); -- Not working
Then used this:
qt:String = '"';
_root.p1.attachMovie(qt+test1+qt, "run1", 1); -- Not working
But when I use like this, its working:
_root.p1.attachMovie("3", "run1", 1); -- working.

they are both placed in separate layers and instantiated for the main timeline.I need a button from my intro_mc to simply gotoAndPlay a frame label in my content_mc MovieClip but I can not get the 2 MC's to communicate.I have tried every scenerio I could think of but nothing works right now I have this AS inside of the intro_mc movie clip
Code:
enter1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1);

I'm trying to create an image slideshow from preloaded images via XML. I can get the XML to call and 9 images to display as here: [URL] This is fine in itself but I want things to occur underneath the 9 images so I'm trying to preload all the images on the _root. and call the images inside a looping movieclip. The problem is that I can't get the functions inside the movie clip to call the XML - as here [URL]

So basically my file is a photo gallery. There are two ways to click through the photos - the previous/next buttons or the camera icons on the floor plan diagram. The cameras are dynamically generated from XML, into a cameraHolder mc.
I have the controls working independently, but I need to have them working together (ie: if you click the previous/next buttons, the camera icons would change state) I don't have all the over/selected/visited states working yet, but I don't really need help with that.
What I really need to be able to do is figure out how to call the camera icon clips. See line 138 for where I tried to trace one: trace(cameraHolder.camera0); It returns as undefined.?
Also is is possible to call a mc where part of the name is a variable? For example, you'd call something like "camera" + whoIsOn instead of camera0?
FYI: this file is definitely a work in progress. I kind of slapped together two examples to get what I currently have...

As entitled in this post, suppose we have wrote in timeline
[code]...
The problem emerges because I want to use local variables (i.e. a and b) to perform tasks of myF2 on several clips at the same time but started, say, a half of second one after the another. I don't want to use timeline variables because all clips must start with the same initial variable values.If it's impossible to use setInterval like this, how is it possible to fix the problem I described here? .This code is for Flash Professional 8.0

the traces get triggered, which means so should the attachMovies, but nothing else seems to happen?[code]

I've been battling this project, and finally got it all wrapped up and working, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore.Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which are placed into the FloorMC which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.[URL](I'd love to attach the swf and fla to this message, so you could take a look at those, but apparently that would be crazy.) thought perhaps it had to do with me using _root, but I went through and changed them all out to _globals and _parents and it still no likey. Furthermore the Comment Box in the bottom left gets triggered by _root commands form all sorts of different levels, and it seems to work fine, both on the web and off.

1) I created a movieclip (book_mc) on the stage. Inside the book is another movieclip (bookPages_mc). Inside of bookPages_mc is a third movieclip (subNav_mc).
2) On the root layer I created another movieclip (button).
3) On "button" I went to Linkage and gave it a base class of my own creation, "MainNav".
Now in the MainNav class I want to tell the subnavigation movieclip to animate.
The problem is - I can't figure out how to reference nested movie clips from an external class.
(For the record - everything has an instance name and has been double checked. The code works from within the FLA but not from an external class.)
Here is my class code (everything works except for the reference to the nested movieclip):
Code:
package {
//imports
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;

I have setup a video interface with a stock video player in the parent mc. In the same swf next to the player, I have a mc which is a video thumbnail chooser. The thumbnail buttons are located two levels down within this mc (nested within two mc) in order to facilitate the scrolling independent of the player. In the parent, where the video player lives, I placed a function:
function vid1(event:MouseEvent): void{
pubPlayer.source = 'Steve480.flv';
}
In the child mc where the thumbnail buttons are, I want to call the parent function like this:
vid1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);
None of my clips are externally loaded, just nested in the same swf. How can I talk up or down the movieclip ladder?

I can't seem to get the hitTest to work for my script shown below. I have tested using movieclips created on stage during design time and made to collide during run-time. hitTest works fine in this situation.
But if I use the attachmovie command and create a movie on stage during run-time, that clip cannot hitTest with other movieclips. The hitTest simply doesn't work.
The script below is basically, to create instances of enemymc, and it will fall vertically, hitting a movieclip target_mc which is placed during design-time.
var enemyTime:Number = 0;
var enemyLimit:Number = 20;
onEnterFrame = function()

I'm making a flash lite 2.1 (AS2.0) game when i came across a very annoying, and interesting error. Took me several hours to track down.
function createUnit(spawnPoint) {
if (Math.random()<0.8) {
// Create and attach Unit to codeLine.
[code]....
Which stuffs up code that needs this.So why is attachUnit being so temperamentall?[URL]
Note: Doesn't have a problem if i add it programicaly earlier - only if a drop it on the stage.

I have a problem with a preloader that isn't working, it works fine on other files that are loaded in the same way on the same site, the only difference with this file is a script that is at the end of the timeline which uses attachMovie to place some images.. the result is that the preloader doesn't show, there is just a wait and then the movie appears suddenly.

I have my function on frame 1
Code:
function backhome(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.gotoAndPlay("mapbegin");
}
At frame 10, I have a movie clip that animates and stops. Inside of that movie clip is a button that I want to go back to frame 2 when someone clicks on it. I want to be able to click on that button and call the function above.
panamacitybeach.returntomap1.addEventListener(Mous eEvent.CLICK, backhome);
When I put that code on the movie clip keyframe on the root timeline, I get this error.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at intmap_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
The addEventListener is laying on the keyframe in which the movie clip is. Why can't I call that function later on where the movie clip shows up?

I'm switching from as2 to as3 and everything was going swimmingly with my new site until i tried to use a _root call to a function on the main timeline by a loaded movieClip that is loaded nested into 2 other movieclips. the movieClip needs to tell the _root when it's done playing so the root knows to load the next one in line through a php call. Everything works except for the _root call. In as3 there's no such thing as root anymore so I figured no big deal, i'll just find out what the new thing is and holy crap wtf! I can't figure this out!! I've read from doing stuff like custom eventLisnters (which i am trying now) and casting the root as a movieClip and then I read this whole crazy tutorial on building an event structure and the proper MVC way of coding and blah blah blah ALL I WANT TO DO is tell the _root that the loaded MC has reached the end of its timeline. Basically if it were as2 i could just go _root.loadNext(); and it would work.how to make a loaded MC talk to the _root timeline and call a funciton from there?

I'm trying to call a function called checkForHit() located inside of my Hero class at a particular frame of an attack animation of my Hero object. Meaning, when his weapon is at the point in the animation where it could collide with any enemies, I want to call the function that performs the check.My Hero Movie Clip is set up where it contains a Movie Clip on different frames that coorespond to the different animations (attacks, movements, etc). So the Hero MC contains a bunch of other MCs. That way I can just use hero.gotoAndStop("attack1");
The problem that I'm having is that the code that I wrote to call the checkForHit() function is written on one of the frame of the nested MC's timeline, and it's not being recognized. In fact, even if I put a trace("HELLO") on any of the frames on the nested MC, it's not being output. I even tried to put something that I know should cause an error on one of the frames, and it ran without throwing an error. It's almost like the code on the timeline isn't being compiled, or it's being skipped over somehow.

The lineholder code below draws tickers on an axis for every 12th data point. It should also attach a year label every 12th data point. For this I have tried to use attachMovie. I've used it before and it's worked fine, but this code draws the line and omits the label (gives no error).
Code:
for (var a:Number = startPoint; a<_root.dataPoints[0].length; a++) {
if (b==12) {
//should attach date label
var myYear:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("mc_dateLabel","mc_"+a,_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:500, _y:300});

I'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?

I'm trying to use attachMovie to attach a movieclip to another movieclip. Both the movieclips are set up as buttons (ie. they have _up, _over, _down, _hit states). The problem is if I define event handlers for both mcs, only the event handler on the parent clip works.
myBtn is already on the stage:
myBtn.onRollOver = function():Void { this.attachMovie("pageButton","chldBtn",1); this.onPress = function():Void { trace("parent"); //works }; this.chldBtn.onRelease = function():Void { trace("attached Movie"); // doesn't work };};
I've tried 'delete this.onPress' for the parent mc but this makes no difference.
How can I get the attached mc event handler to work?

I have to load one movie clip symbol (with linkage identifier specified) in another swf. Is this possible? Say, in 1.swf, I have a movieclip with identifier "a_id". in 2.swf, I loaded the 1.swf using loadMovie (to one blank movieclip). After that I need to attach the "a_id" to another blank movieclip (in the 2.swf itself)
