Actionscript 3 :: Aligning Movieclip With Root/stage Movieclip?
Apr 23, 2010
How do you align a dynamic movie clip position with another movie clip which is in the root stage? I tried to get the mc in root x,y position, but the starting point of the class that loads the dynamic MC does not seems to be accurate. (Meaning at the root stage, the x,y is 0,0 but at the dynamic class, its somewhere like 100,20 for the browser area (and it actually vary base on the browser size))
**the other classes I used to run the custom classes below, I have it added this MC to stage
var blocker:stageBlocker=new stageBlocker();
this.stage.addChild(blocker);
Below is the dynamic MC. Should I not add it to its own "stage"?
public class stageBlocker extends MovieClip {
private var blocker:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
public function stageBlocker():void {
I am new to AS3 and only recently have been able to understand the display list.I am trying to run this code in my file.I made two movie clips in my library. Gave them class name as "One" and "Two"Now, this is the code that I run:
Code: var one:One = new One(); var two:Two = new Two();
For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:
I'm just trying to load a videostream, align in the center of the stage and put it on the first visible layer.This code just loads it but align it on top-left of stage and under some layers that forbid it to be seen.[code]
I have been creating a dynamic Flash Navigation based on a tutorial I found online. I'm having issues aligning the MovieClip house all the array names from My XML file. I'm using:
I am trying to get a bunch of attached movie clips have a different widths for certain clips var words_list = [["a"], ["a", "-", "b", "ou","-" "t"],["we","-","jk"-"h"] I am attaching each letter into a separate movie clip. When I get to a "-" sign I want to clip to be smaller in width. The problem I am having is that all the clips are the same distance apart and I need them to be different widths depending on if its a "-" or a letter. for ( i=0; i
I am trying to build an MXML application with Flash Builder 4.5, and I am integrating an API that requires the root of a display object to be a MovieClip. Personally I think this is bad design but I have to go with it. The root object always seems to end up as the stage, because of course I have to add the object to the stage for it to be added to the display list. Is there some way that I can either change the stage type in an MXML application to a MovieClip or is there some way to force a MovieClip wrapper to become the root of a display object?
I am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?
I have a movieclip on the stage(lets call that selection movieclip) that once a button is clicked is going to open another movieclip(call this slideshow) I am trying to remove the selection movieclip when you launch the slideshow movieclip.
Error: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at mc_work/clickHandler3()
On 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 have a .fla file that has VerticalMenu.as as the documentclass. In that class, it calls another class called MenuItem.as.Within MenuItem.as, I want to be able to add buttons to the themain timeline (the root), but when I do addChild, it'll just add itto the menuItem object. How do I reference the root fromMenuItem.as to add the child there
I made a script for the file that i am working with that hasbuttons located within 2 movieclips. I want that button to load andimage into a UILoader (problemLoader_mc) that I placed on the stageon the main timeline (the timeline that contains WeekBar_mc). Theproblem is that I don't know how to get to the root of the file tostart a new directory to tell my function to load the image i want.I have tried multiple approaches including:
The below code is working fine when I place my button on main time line... when i place my button inside of any MovieClip, it never work and never attach circle from the library???can any one tell me please what should i need to change, when my Button is inside of MovieClip. Image is loading fine but my loading circle is not visible....
btn_About.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Loading_AboutImage); function Loading_AboutImage(event:MouseEvent):void {
I made a button within a movieclip.The movieclip name = OurKlips-mainThe scene name = oneWhen I hit this button, it changes two frames in the html part (This works)Also, I want this button to play frame 30 from the root scene, titled "one"on (release) {getURL("content-ourklips.html", "content-txt");_root.gotoAndPlay(30);}
What I'm trying to do is very very basic however its flat out not working. I'm trying to add a event listener to a button located within a movieclip thats on the root time line.Here's the code:
I have created a Flash movie in AS3.It has 1 scene so far titled "wmain"On the first keyframe I have a movieclip: "licence_mc"Nested within this movieclip is a button that does a little fade in/fade out animation over a range of keyframes when you hold the mouse on it.This buttons Instance name is: "license_bu"Right on the keyframe of this button (so within the mc "license_mc") I placed the following code:
I have a movielclip, nav_mc, inside which contains my navigation buttons. Lets say I want to effect the time timeline. Before in AS 2.0 I could simply go
function doIt(evt:MouseEvent):void { _root.january.gotoAndStop(2); }
That doesn't work. Returns this in errors:
Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..
Neither does
root.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or
stage.january.gotoAndStop(2) (1119: Access of possibly undefined property ball_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.)
or
_stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or anything!
How do we do this very simple thing now in AS 3.0
TLDR;
How do I reference the _root timeline in AS 3.0 since _root. no longer works in 3.0
I've got a movieclip on the root of the stage called "bgImg", in that clip I've made this function:
Actionscript Code:[code]..........When you click a button in the nav it loads a movieclip to the stage from the library, inside this movieclip I have a row of buttons,when you click one of these I want to call the function in the movieclip on the root (ie. the function inside "bgImg" .
