IDE :: Dynamically Stopping Child MovieClip
Jun 21, 2009
I've created an object (a person named jop) from a number of other symbols, and I've added the person to the stage manually (i.e. not via AS). One of the symbols, the mouth, has multiple frames, and I would like to stop it from playing at runtime. Here's what I tried:
[Code]...
What I don't understand is why flash sees the mouth as a DisplayObject and not a MovieClip, when I've definitely gone into its properties to make sure it was a MovieClip. It would make a nice shortcut if I were able to handle MovieClips this way, so I hope theres a way...otherwise I guess I'd have to add all the components of poor ol' jop to the stage at runtime to have access to them as movieclips.

I am embedding SWFs into Articulate Presenter for final publishing. Some of the SWFs have child movieclips with animations. How do I stop the child movieclip playhead when the parent timeline is paused from the Articulate controls? I'm thinking there must be an event listener for when the parent timeline stops, which could trigger the child movieclip to stop.

Im having trouble stopping or starting loaded swf files. I need to dynamically load the swf file but make sure it doesn�t play until the user requests it. The trouble is I wont know anything about the loading swf file (for example frame labels, if it has a 'stop' script in the first frame etc.) Ive attached a simplified version which I think illustrates the problem but the code is:

The timeline of my child swf, there are layers with specific sound files in them to be in sync with my animation. Now the problem arises when I try to import this swf into my main flash website using a loader and the sound will continuously play everytime the button is clicked in the parent. My question is how do I get the sound to completely clear itself and restart from frame 0 of the child swf upon every click of the button that loads the child into the loader within the parent.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();// create a new instance of the Loader class
var project1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/Greeting_Card/GreetingCard.swf");

So I am loading in external swfs and once loaded in I want to stop the main timeline. so I do the following.
var swf : MovieClip = e.target.content ;
swf.stop();
which doesn't work, because I have trace statements in the external swf which fire off after that command is called. Which, here is another weird thing, When I trace through the loaded swf, it says it has two children, a shape, and a Loader. The shape is weird because what I have is another movieclip on stage so I should get instaceXX, and I dont know where that Loader class is coming from.
which also brings me to another question which is everytime I add the swf to the stage it duplicates the instance, and I run out of memory really fast after I keep removing and re-adding it. all I call is.
targetMC.addChild(swf);
then after the swf dispatches an event saying its done.
targetMC.removeChild(swf);

I have added two consecutive streaming audio tracks (mp3) to a child SWF. The child SWF loads onto a parent SWF using a loader. After loading the child SWF the movieclip and audio plays without a problem. In the last frame of the child SWF a dispatchEvent is used to signal the end at which time the loader is unloaded and the playhead reset in the parent SWF.
I have a problem with stopping the audio. After the loader is unloaded and the playhead reset in the parent SWF the first audio track plays again (but not the one after it). I have been trying to use the SoundMixer.stopAll(); command to stop the audio. I have not been sucessful in preventing the audio from playing. The command only works AFTER the audio begins playing and I manually move the playhead to a frame containing the SoundMixer.stopAll(); command.
I have been reading some older threads with similar problems and haven't found a solution that works for me. I have placed the SoundMixer.stopAll(); command in every possible loaction in the main timelines of the parent and child SWF without success. Why is the sound file playing after I unload the child SWF? Is there a way to prevent it from playing again?

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.

I'm loading an animated mc from the library into a placeholder movie clip. It adds alright but the animation freezes(including the sound which is really annoying). Any ideas? This is the setup function and I was hoping to use something similar to add movies to the generic holding mc via buttons(and remove them from the generic mc with a removeChild). Anyway, here's the code for initializing that I'm using.[code]

My knowledge of actionscript >= 0. You have been warned. So I'm using the falling snow action found on the Kirupa website ([URL]), and I have everything working great, the snowflakes are drifting gorgeously down my movie, and I'm deliriously happy that something *works,* and then I realize that I want to make the snowflakes stop. Specifically on frame 433, when my new 'scene' begins. I tried a buncha different (probably pretty dumb) things, like stop();, movieclip.stop();, even re-typed the duplicatemovieclip script to read removemovieclip and adjusted the math accordingly. Needless to say, it was all in vain.

Lets say you have a bunch of similar movieclips and you want to move anyone of them dynamically. We would use:
[Code]...
Something like that. However, my issue is not selecting a movieclip dynamically, but selecting another movieclip dynamically within a dynamically selected movieclip.

I have a nested MC that functions as a continuous slider; when you mouse right of center it slides one way and when you mouse left of center it slides the opposite direction. Right at center it stops. The problem I have is that I'm using this as a menu at the bottom of a .swf and there are other places to mouse on the page, which means that this menu is constantly in motion even when it's not being used. I want it to stop when it isn't being used, only because it's an MC I can't use the onMouseOut command to stop the clip. I tried making a button that targets the clip and stops it when you roll over the button but it doesn't work.
Here's the script I'm currently using:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xcenter = 467.5;
speed = 1/25;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;

I'm doing a project that has a lot of time line animation.There are 5 buttons. Each one plays a multi-frame MovieClip containing sounds embedded in its timeline.Then there is a button that stops any of the playing movie clips. Of course, this doesn't stop the soundsormally, I'd just use...ActionScript Code:SoundMixer.SoundTransform.stopAll();Problem is, I also have non-timeline sounds that I have playing on a loop for background music, and the SoundMixer would stop the music too. But I don't want the music to stop.Doing some research, I think any MovieClip can have a SoundTransform property you can adjust, so I should be able to control the sounds just inside specific MovieClips. But I can't figure it out.

I'm trying to make smoothing for images which loaded with loadclip(). I found function for smoothing and it works but only for movieclips located in _level0, for example _level0.mc, but I want to smooth children MC, for example _level0.parent_mc.children_mc and then image just disappears. Smoothing function:
here = this; // trace(here) == _level0
bg_smooth = function (bg):Void {
var bg_depth:Number = bg.getDepth();
var bg_name:String = bg._name;
var bg_parent = bg._parent;
[Code] .....
Also tried to write _level0.parent_mc['children_mc'] instead of parent_mc.children_mc and to make here == _level0.parent_mc - still no luck. If I remove bg_smooth (element) on load complete then all works fine but of course smoothing disabled.

I have a Main.swf that loads an external Child.swf, also the Child.swf loads some external files. My problem is that once the Main.swf loads the Child.swf. The paths that Child.swf reads (for it's external files) are no longer normal and it reads the paths from the Main.swf. (Main.swf is in another folder). Is there a way to lock the paths of the child.swf dynamically from the Main.swf?

if you view my project you will see that it is a drag and drop application. You will also see two buttons at the bottom (I plan on adding more), when you click on a box it will add more objects to the menu. Heres where my question comes in, the box then says remove on it, I want the items that were added by clicking on the box to be removed as well as items added to the stage when you click on that same box again, how do I do this?

I've got a dozen movie clips on stage, each with 3 children, and each of those have 8 children, as example named u01-u08.
Is it possible to access u01 directly without the parent names? like a wildcard? like the xml way of getting to nodes with a .. ?
sort of like: stage..u01.alpha = .5;
