ActionScript 3.0 :: MainTimeLine Vs Access A Dynamic Text On Stage
Jul 31, 2009Short version : Im confused on the difference between the two when accessing something on the stage from a package. Longer version: I passed in a ref to the stage to the constructor on a class, and was unable to use it to access a dynamic text on stage. I pass in this instead and am able to access it.

Flash :: Access MainTimeline Symbol Using Class-level Embed?
Jan 18, 2012Here's the scenario: We have a creative team that operates in Flash CS5.5 and produces SWF assets which have both graphics elements and actionscript code in them, and an engineering team which authors .as files and builds "code SWFs". The code SWF files must load or embed the creative assets and interact with the code therein for our apps to function.
For iOS mobile development, there is another consideration - it is not possible to load runtime code in an AIR app packages for iOS because of Apple TOS (see related question). Hence, it is not possible to use a Loader to load SWFs in an iOS environment and retain their code.
Embedding a SWF into an ActionScript file the standard way results in a Loader that loads the embedded SWF directly as bytes. This results in access to the top-level, main timeline as follows:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing The MainTimeLine From A File?
Apr 25, 2011I have almost everything working as confirmed through tracestatements, but when I insert my gotoAndStop("frame labels") in theAS file, there is no effect on the app.I know the button is working because inside the AS file I amtracing the button name to the output panel and it is correct. Ialso have assigned a Switch Statement to the clicked event in theAS file and that is correct also. It traces the correct outputs.But inside the Switch statement, where the gotoAndStop islocated it is not moving to the frame label. It doesn't move atall.I have tried the following:
this.gotoAndStop("label");
stage.gotoAndStop("label");
root.gotoAndStop("label");
this.stage.gotoAndStop("label");

Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing Function From Doc Class Of Maintimeline?
Mar 30, 2009Found several suggestions, none of which have worked. I am sure I am probably overlooking something really stupid, so I need another set of eyes to look at my code. I have a main.swf that preloads and loads an intro.swf. On the intro.swf there is IntroMC that contains skip_btn. When the user clicks skip_btn, I need to call a function named traceMe() from the document class of main.swf. If you look at the comments for the intro.swf code, you can see the error I am getting.
Here is the code for main.swf

Sep 11, 2006I have an external swf that I've placed in an empty movie clip using loadmovie into the main movie.
The swf shows and plays fine, however I have an interactive movie clip which does nothing when loaded into the main movie. (note: the loaded .swf is fine when tested outside of the main movie). How do I target the external .swfs interactive features after it has been loaded into the main timeline?
here's an example:

1172: Definition fl.video:FLVPlayback could not be found. so i added the "import fl.video.FLVPlayback;" line to my MainTimeLine.as file, but flash gives the above error. now i had this problem when i added this code directly under a frame of the main timeline until i added a FLVPlayback instance to my library. now, i am trying to simply embed all of the code under the MainTimeLine.as file and have the as file encapsulate all of it. but, i still get that error.
so, how do i get flash cs4 to recognize and use the import properly

Mar 9, 2009I have four movie clip instances inside an instance. ("root" or "stage" > mcInstance1 > mcInstance2)
I have my actionscript codes enterd on the first frame of the mainTimeline.but my knowledge on actionscript 3 is so short I couldn't control the mainTimeline from the instances which I have created as buttons by actionscript coding.Here's what I'd like to do: When one of the movieclip instance is clicked and onEnterFrame,I want another movie clip instace to play which is on the mainTimeline (or "root" or "stage") on top of everything.I even tried to loadMovie and addChild to the stage onEnterFrame of the movieclip instance, but since it does the loadMovie inside instance stage, it appears only on top of the same movie clip instace and not on top of everything else.how to control a movie clip instance on mainTimeline inside the movie clip instance onEnterFrame in AS3.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access To Variables By A MovieClip In A MovieClip
Jul 15, 2010I'm making a fighting game and so far all the controls are good, characters can walk, run attack etc. My problem: The character is a MovieClip, Guy, and is exported to a class Guy. In Guy.as I have a boolean "hitting" which is set to default "false". If the Guy object hitTests an enemy while "hitting" is true, the enemy will take tamage.
In the Guy MovieClip there are about 7 frames, each with its own animation. 3 of those frames are attacking animations in form of MovieClips, i.e, if we click them we get another set of frames. Say one of the attack MovieClips has 10 frames in it, frame 7 of 10 is where the punch actually lands, this is when I want the enemy to take damage, not before (while the character is still moving his hand forward). Seeing as this frame is inside a MovieClip which is inside another MovieClip(Guy), is there a way to access the property "hitting" with this inner frame?

So I asked my teacher and she told me it's something with the EventHandlers but I didn't used them in my code.She's of no help to me currently. Yes, education over here is worthless in a certain amount.. Personally I think error lies in this code: I also get the error called: TypeError: Error #1009 about a null object.
