How Do I Change Stage Frame From Inside MovieClip?
Heres my code so far:
hh.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(2);}
i tried (root).gotoAndStop(2); but i got an error , #1061 ..
I have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;
_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?
Is it possible to make a call from inside a MC to change a frame on the main stage (IE: scene 1 frame 2) rather than just frames within the MC? I've already tried going gotoAndStop("1,2") but that seemed to do jack.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it's possible to change the frame of a movieclip (present on the stage) by going on a certain frame or clicking a button in the main movie, if you get what I mean. Let's just say I want to go to frame 2 in movieclip "Symbol". Also, would it be possible to do the opposite and go to a frame in the main movie from a movieclip?
View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip and within it is a bit of actionscript and a couple of different movieclips to make it function like the button on a ball point pen (you click it and it stays clicked until you click it again).[code]...
I don't want to get deeper into this monster of a project without making sure this is working first. Is my boolean working and just my trace statements aren't worded right or is my method to change the boolean wrong?
I'm making a vertical scroller with a mask. The content is inside a movieclip and the user scrolls around it.My problem is, I have lots and lots of content to put inside that movieclip, and I've reached the limit of the sheet. All inside the movieclip. How do I resize the sheet/canvas inside the movieclip so that I can put more info in it??I've googled it, but found nothing.Note: I just want to change the size of the sheet/canvas inside a movieclip and I don't want to change my document size. I'm using flash CS3, AS2.

View 2 RepliesI have a character, every body part is a movieclip. Now I wanted to put a movieclip for the eyes inside of the headmovieclip so that I can change them independently from the mouth. So in the eye-movieclip that is inside of the head-movieclip I put two keyframes, one for opened eyes and one for closed eyes. I put it to "Single frame" in properties. Now, whenever I make a pose and I change the frame number under properties so that it displays the closed eyes, it does that for the whole movie, not only on the frames that I changed it.
I wanted to use that to control things like eyes, ears and the mouth individually but like this it won't work, it changes it for the whole animation.
I got a MovieClip filled with a lot of others clips... When I change de X or Y value of this first MovieClip the frame rate slows down for during 1 frame. For exemple... I created a counter that returns around 30 mseconds every frame, but when I do this X or Y change the return is around 400 mseconds... When I try to fill the first MovieClip with less information it goes faster, about 100+-200 mseconds...
View 6 RepliesHow can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
how I access variables in a frame on the stage with code from a frame within a movieclip?(basically passing variables from a stage frame to a movieclip frame)
View 4 RepliesOn the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
I've been following the book "Beggining Flash Programing for Dummies" and I have come up to a part where I create a very simple game.
The script involved in the frames are FRAME here:
stop();
btnGoThere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("there");
} //end event handler
Frame there
btnGoHere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("here");} // end release
When I test the movie and click the button, the frames don't seem to change.
I'm trying to do a work around for a 9-slice animation problem, [URL] and I'm doing a shape tween within a MC... but when I place the animated movieclip on the stage, it displays the first frame of the animated movieclip, and it would be much more useful for it to display the LAST frame of the animation. I feel like there was some way of choosing the stage-display frame of the movieclip in the past, but can't find any way of doing this in CS5?
View 6 RepliesI have a MovieClip that represents a playable character in my game. Inside of that MovieClip are three frames: One containing a single picture (standing), one containing a second MovieClip (walking) and the last containing a third MovieClip (jumping). Using the Properties tab, I gave each of the frames a name ("Stand", "Walk" and "Jump respectively).
What I want to do with Actionscript is gotoAndStop the "Jump" frame inside my character's MovieClip, and play the first frame of the MovieClip contained in that "Jump" frame. Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
playerMovieClip.gotoAndStop("Jump").gotoAndPlay(1);
I am using Flash MX 2004, aka Flash 7, and Actionscript 1. What I have is a movie clip that plays on frame one. Its a variation of loading screen. What I want to do is make it so that when the movie clip is on its last frame (frame 100), then it switches to frame 2. NOT frame 2 of the movie clip, but frame 2 of the overall project.
Code:
if (_root.loader._currentframe == 100) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
(movie clip is called loader)
I have also tried naming frame 2 "finishedLoading" and just "2", but it still will not go.What happens is, when the movie clip animation is finished and on frame 100, it just sits there. I had to put a stop(); in frame 1 so that the animation could play, but it stays stopped. This was all done after I tried the logical approach where inside of the movie clip on frame 100 of the movie clip, I made an "Actions" layer and on frame 100 keyframe, I put:
Code:
gotoAndPlay(2);
I also tried
Code:
gotoAndPlay("finishedLoading");
and
Code:
gotoAndPlay("2");
I have even resorted to the last resort. I put tried to make a variable so that when the movie clip is on frame 100, that "var finishedLoading" would be set to true, and then:
Code:
if (finishedLoading == true) {
//
}
Inside of the comment would be gotoAndPlay(x);

What do I have to do to get the button to work? I view the swf and there is no active button.
I need the button inside the clip to be active.
I created "symbol1" movie clip. And I have dynamic text "myscore" on the main stage.
I have this code inside of "symbol1".
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, b1);
function b1(event:MouseEvent):void {
myscore.text = "30";
}
And it gives me this error. (1120: Access of undefined property myscore.)
It works only when text and actionscript inside of the same symbol. I tried like this root.myscore.text = "30"; but it still doesn't work.
I have an animation and I need the stage to color change colors from white to black at a certain frame on How do I do it?
View 2 Repliesis there any way I can link a button inside a MC on frame1 to a frame inside another MC that is located on another frame.Ive got 2 frames in total. On the first frame Ive got an Mc and inside this one Ive got a button that needs to be linked to frame number 50 which is inside a MC located on frame number 2.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to reference a specific frame inside a MC in my .swf file from an .as file. What I want is to capture the current frame of the movie clip for the .as file. It's for the purpose of points when you shoot each plane. It's an easy trick of frame 1's plane would be worth 100 points, frame 2's plane 200 points, etc. I thought I'd write a line like this in my collision detection section of my .as file.
Code:
planePoints = currentFrame * 100;
The only problem is, of course, it grabs the current frame of the main .swf timeline that my flash file uses, and not the movieclip that's being called to produce the planes. So I thought I'd be able to specify a path to the movie clip (in this case it's called Airplane in the MC's linkage properties).
Code:
planePoints = Airplane.currentFrame * 100;
Then, of course, it freaks out and says that 'access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.'
I still get confused with AS3 and the way items are handled vs AS2. I've lost track of how many times I type _root. Am I getting something basic mucked up here or should I be importing something in the package to get it to recognize the class?
I have a time line with 2 frames only. On frame 1 I have a Movie Clip that contains a gallery and its called "gal1" on frame 2 I have another Movie clip called "gal2". Now I have 2 buttons to call each of these galleries which this code in them[code]...
But when I am in gal1 and I want to click on the second botton to call gal2 with the same exact code attached to button2, it doesn't work!

View 1 RepliesHow do I connect to the same class from the stage as well as from inside a MovieClip?
In other words: I've set a document class in my properties panel - I cannot access the class's methods from inside an MC. Why?
What are the different ways to connect a fla-file to a class (as-file)?
I've been playing around with AS3 for a few years now, but always avoided classes. But now the day has come for me to finally trying to get a hold of it.
