Actionscript 3.0 :: Access A Child's Timeline In It?
Mar 9, 2012I have a cloud named cloud2_mc and in its timeline i have a cloud layer, and an actions layer. I took the cloud and made it into a a Movie clip clip with an instance name of embeddedcloud_mc in this Movie clips timeline i have a 50 frame animation of the cloud breaking appart and disapating with a tween and i have a stop(); function on frame 1 of this layer.
What I want to happen is, when the cloud2_mc movie clip is clicked to play the animation of the cloud breaking appart. the cloud2_mc has a trajectory moving slowly accross the sceen continuously when the cloud2_mc reaches the side of the sceen it loops again. When the animation is clicked i would like it to continue across its path but, when the cloud2_mc reaches to left hand side of the screen i want the embeddedcloud_mc to reset its timeline and go back to its original state where the cloud has not broken appart.
My question is, how do I access an embedded movie clips timeline to tell it to play an animation on its timeline as well as, how do i make the same object restet its timeline to frame 1?

IDE :: Child Movieclip Timeline Changes Don't Show In Parent Timeline?
May 21, 2009Why does a child movieclip only show the first frame within the IDE, regardless of where you are in the parent timeline?If you throw a movieclip with 25 frames onto the main timeline, which also has 25 frame, you don't see the nested movieclip's frame-progress while you scroll through the main timeline.Is there a setting somewhere in preferences or somewhere that will enable you to see a nested movieclip's frame position from the main timeline? Like you do with After Effects composites?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding Actions In Child Timeline?
Feb 25, 2010I'm an animator trying to use actionscript along with timeline animation.The setup is flock>fly>wings flock movieclip 30f long, the script looping, starting multiple fly movieclips at different points.
fly movieclip 30f long, controls wings0 movieclip timeline (3 frames, each with a movieclip). Frame1: wings0.gotoAndStop(2) Frame24: wings0.gotoAndStop(1) Frame48: wings0.gotoAndStop(3)
From flock timeline I'm trying to override actions in fly3. to call a different wings0 animation.
flock Frame1: var loop:Number = 0; fly1.gotoAndPlay(15); fly2.gotoAndPlay(8); fly3.gotoAndPlay(20); if(fly3.currentFrame==24){ fly3.wings0.gotoAndStop(3); }
flock Frame 30:
loop = loop + 1;if (loop > 0) {this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else {this.stop();}
But the animation of fly3 doesn't change.

View 4 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Child And Stopping Main Timeline?
Sep 3, 2010So 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);
ActionScript 3.0 :: Missing Timeline Variables Publishing Child Swf?
Nov 29, 2008I've simplified the problem but basically i have two files: parent.fla and child.fla.. parent.fla has its own class definition of type ParentClass and is basically defined as below..
public class ParentClass extends MovieClip
{
public function AddListener()[code]....
These classes all have the relevant imports etc so there's no compilation errors.But when i try to publish the child.fla i get the error
saying..1120: Access of undefined property btnOnStage
my work around at the moment is just putting in var btnOnStage:SimpleButton; into the ParentObject class which lets it publish it fine, but it obviously causes conflicts when i publish the parent.fla as btnOnStage already exists.I know this is because basically the object is on the timeline in the parent.fla and is being accessed from the class and has never been defined. But how do i get around this? Is there a way to tell flash that there will be a variable like that there and dont worry bout it?
