I have a as3 movie which loads an as2 in it.
I create a movieclip in as3 and i want to pass this created movieclip to as2.
There are some problems:
1 - How to send it from as3 to as2?
2 - How to create a movieclip in as2 with this received data? ( the loadMovie function has just a url parameter, not data )
iam trying to move forward and learn as3 i am converting complex project i worked on last year using AS2 , now i have problem in dispatchEvent command i have class extends MovieClip that need to fire Event to sub sub childs i can send from the child to the parent using
[Code]
i am trying to load the variables from parent(flash) to child(flash).Its working fine,.
parent swf:(flash)
var parentMessage:String = "Hello";
var swf:MovieClip;
var l:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
below shows how to add child in a movieclip. ebd.target.addChild(info_grd); there is button named my_btn inside the movieclip info_grd.I would like to remove movieclip info_grd.parent
View 2 RepliesI am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

In AS2 I have been using the below to send instructions to parent[code]...
Say I have an object call "Mother". Inside this Mother object is a function called "Come back all my children" And all my Child Objects extends Mother.
Is there a way one of the Child could call the function "Come back all my children" and this function will be evoked in ALL Child objects ?
I tried creating a "Come back all my children" function as static in the Mother object but I am unable to use the "this" keyword for this.
I want to detach a movieclip and attach it elsewhere, but it doesn't seem possible in AS2.
I'm looking for an AS2 equivalent of Cocoa's addSubview/removeFromSuperview.
Is there alternatives routes to go, such as duplicating a movie with a new parent.. is that possible?
What is the equivalent to removeMovieClip() in AS3?
Apparently many have the same question:
StackOverflow:
How to completely remove a movieclip in as3
Remove movie clip as3
How to remove childmovieclip and add to new parent movieclip
Others:
removeMovieClip(this) in AS3?
Destroy/Delete a Movieclip???
Remove movie clip.But none of their solutions seem to work, for me:Im working on flash CS4 with AS3: I have a very simple movie with a single button called click.On pressing the button, a new instance of coin is created:
this.click.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,justclick);
function justclick(e:MouseEvent){
var money=new coin[code]........
I have this MC attached to the stage with an instance of say: insA, then within this I have another called say: insB, then finally another one within insB called say: insC.so normally to access the third one I would use: insA.insB.insC do something.I have this button within another MC called say: '2ndinsA', so when a button within '2ndinsA' is pressed I need to perform 'something/move' onto insC.
Now within the class attached to '2ndinsA' i have the parent.getChildByName("insA") code and its seemed to grab the 'insA' and I could then move it, but its the insC that i want to move.How can I then reference the 'insC' within that MC )'insA', i have tried several ways but all come up short (errors galore)
I have an AS3 movieclip with a button. Both the movieclip and button needs a click event but when I click the button it also fires the parent movieclip's event handler.
View 1 RepliesI work on a truckload of flash banners and have progressed more into dispatching events from the final frame of a MovieClip that would contain an object (or collection of closely related objects) animating and then listening for them from the parent timeline so that I know when to continue the main animation etc.In the animation I'm working on currently, there's a car built from blocks over time (the blocks fall from the top of the banner to make up the car); this is all contained within one MovieClip (to make the resizing easier - all I'll have to do is move the entire MovieClip around).The problem is that when I place this MovieClip onto the timeline, it's represented by its first frame (which is nothing because no blocks have fallen yet). This makes it hard to work with because I can't really tell exactly where the car is going to be when the animation is done and so on.Is there a way to have the final frame of this MovieClip visible from the outer timeline?
View 3 RepliesWhy do I get this error saying parent does not exist when I try to remove a movieclip. In the first case, the movieclip cannot exist either on screen/memory if it was not 'contained' by either a movieclip or stage. How can this happen, can somebody explain how this "movieclip" loses its parent reference to the stage or container mc. The debugger stack shows the value of movieclip.parent as null.
View 2 RepliesIs their any way to add a movieclip at a frame n ( n > 1) of a parent movieclip, without using gotoAndStop on parent movieclip ?
View 1 RepliesI have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:
//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;
[code].....
This image shows the problem, the 3 is a PNG image with a nice drop shadow that expands quite far from the white square. It is a movieclip which was added by the square movieclip.This obviously changes the size of the movieclip so the ROLL_OVER will trigger whenever the mouse is over either of these objects.My question is, how would I make the movieclip "3" never trigger any sort of mouse event for its parent?
Things that do not work:
mouseEnabled = false; (why doesn't this work?? ugh)
mouseChildren = false;
[code].....
On the stage I have a movieclip (Container, originally 200px width) and inside it with a progressbar movieclip (originally 700px width), scaled with Free Transform Tool to fit the parent container. The width of the container changes run-time while resizing the scene.
In ActionScript I have a function which should set the progress bar width according to a calculated percentage value:
private function updateProgress(event:TimerEvent):void
{
var barWidth:int = _container.width;
var progress:Number = _stream.time / _stream.duration * barWidth;
_progressBar.width = progress;
}
My problem is that the progressBar even at full time (100%) is only at 1/4 of the parent container. I assume that it comes from the symbols original size.
Can I correct this programatically, or I must redesign it with the "designer"?
Red: Shape inside parent movieclip,
Yellow: Children inside parent movieclip
I'd like to animate the yellow dots, but make sure that they never gets out of the red shape's boundary.
Let's say I am loading a movieclip from a remote url within another movieclip on another server.
This movieclip now needs to load another child movie clip on the same server as itself.
How can it get its own url and not the url of its parent container so as to load this child ? Because if it refers to "child.swf" it will be relative to the super parent container insted of the first server isn't it ? So it will not be able to load the child correctly if all it can get is the url of the parent.
I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.
I have movieclip which contains child movieclip. when child movie clip finish to play i want to run a function in a parent movieclip. so I made a custom event dispatcher in the first frame of the child movieclip:

i am using a movieclip who has two nested movieclips, the problem i am dealing is that when i try to get the width or height of the parent movieclip it always showing the values of the small nested movieclip, when i draw the movieclip it draw perfect but when i read this values shows that error, what can i do?
View 2 RepliesI have load child swf in parent swf, from child swf i am trying to run my parent swffunction I am trying this code
MovieClip(parent).testfun()
but this code is giving error.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@2b1aa061
[code].....
I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?
I'm trying to access a parent movieClip from the child movieClip
Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.
I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.

View 6 RepliesSimple drag and drop application where mc is dragged out of one parent mc and dropped into another parent mc.All works OK until I added 2 text boxes to the mc's -- one is a non-selectable dynamic text box (a label) which is set by the code, the other is selectable input text that the user can amend.
Finger cursor disappears when user hovers over the section of the mc that contains the text fields (even non-selectable text??) When the user trys to drag the mc by inadvertantly click-dragging anywhere within both text areas it causes this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@2374a381 to flash.display. MovieClip (same error appears for both text boxes)
The input text box may confuse the user - how do they sometimes click to drag and sometimes click to amend? I need to create an overlay area within the mc that is click-detected for the drag? Here's the relevant bits of code:
var itemArray:Array = [
{iname:"police",ititle:"POLICE OFFICER"},
{iname:"insurance_assessor",ititle:"INSURANCE ASSESSOR"},[code].............
[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]
