the traces when the button is clicked twice are 'the id is myButton' followed by 'the id is yourButton'
Not just an idle query. I was hoping to change the id of custom components when populating a main app with them
I have a container movie which loads another movie into a Loader object which then gets added to the main timeline. The loaded movie has a main class which controls all the other classes in that movie. The container movie has one other element - a scrollbar which scrolls the loaded movie (which is longer than the container) up and down.
When content changes in the loaded movie I need to pass a message to the scrollbar. If I trace parent.parent.parent from the init() function of the loaded movie it traces [object MainTimeline]. My scrollbar, sBar is a direct child of the main timeline, but tracing parent.parent.parent.sBar doesn't work So how can I pass a reference to the scrollbar to the loaded movie? Here's the code in the container movie:
PHP Code:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var sBar:Scrollbar;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);

Is there any way to refer to a certain layers x value, or visibility, or any of those? And if not, what is usually done to preform an action on a whole layer? Should I just make a new symbol out it?

View 2 RepliesI have balls (...sounded pervert) that are created by duplicateMovieClip, yes, they spawn, but right on top of each other, and I don't seem to be able to do anything to them, I tried ball+i.onEnterFrame = function(){} typed in several different ways ("ball"+i, ["ball"+i] etcetc...) And I just couldn't find How to refer to them. i'm trying to spawn them to random positions and make them move in random directions (got the moving part already coded but like I said I can't name them -> can't use it atm.)
Short version: How to refer to balls that are created by duplicateMovieClip?
I have an array that movieclips are added into depending on the users actions. When they are added to the the array, they are also added to the display list of another movieclip on the stage.I'm trying to refer to them later so I can remove them from this movieclip's display list, but I can't work out the wording.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a class that places objects on stage with addChild(obj) it allowes me to position objects using pixels( say obj.x = 10; obj.y= 50; ) just fine but if

I am using the load movie from my main file (main.swf) as:
mc_zoom.loadMovie("detail.swf");
I then have a loader as a movieclip with the detail.swf
when the movie (detail.swf) is loaded the preloader I am trying to make/set the play to go:
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
But this does not work - it works locally but when used with the main file (main.swf)
I have an object created visually. How should I refer to it from classes of other objects? MovieClip(this.root).someObj or stage.someObj or MovieClip(this.root).stage.someObj? And moreover, if I want to see which frame is current on the main timeline, why I cannot just check stage.currentFrame? Why there is no such property of the stage, currentFrame? It has timeline, right?
View 1 RepliesHow can I refer to an instance on the stage if:
- I added it to the stage using the GUI
- I wrote its implementation in an external AS file
I can't assign it a instance name otherwise I get this error: Code: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myInstance on MyClassName.

the second bit of code "mc_inst1.onRollOver..." works, but the first bit of code, which tries to loop through all movie clip instances, will not work.I think this is because myReference is a String. But can anyone suggest how else I should construct my reference to the instance name?
Code:
for (var a:Number = 1; a<myCount; a++) {
myReference="mc_inst"+a;
var myClip:MovieClip = myReference;

I have 6 movieclips named answer1, answer2, etc. I also have a for loop where I want to assign functions to each one programatically. In my loop if I'm using var i, I wanted to refer to each movieclip with something like answer + i to refer to answer1 (assuming i = 1, for example). However, I don't know the syntax to do this.
Here's a rough shot of my code:
ActionScript Code:
for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
"answer"+i.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();

I have 3 SWFs.
X.SWF - Parent application. Contains an empty movie clip for loading external swfs using loadClip() method.
B.SWF - Has some text and pics. Gets loaded into the empty movieclip on X.SWF. Also has a button saying 'Load A.SWF'.
A.SWF - Similar to B.SWF with a button saying 'Load B.SWF'.
When I start the main application (X.SWF) and load B.SWF into it all is fine. But would like to click on the 'Load A.SWF' button on B.SWF and load A.SWF into X.SWF. And visa-versa. The problem is I'm not able to refer to the parent container (X) from these child (A and B) SWFs.
I want to enable smoothing for the bitmaps I load using a Loader.
How can I refer to these bitmaps ? Something like Loader.contentInfoLoader as Bitmap?

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to change the depth of an object. I have only just started learning AS3, so I haven't looked into this yet.So far I have been using a trial-&-error method to try to get this piece of code to work which I found on a site, but I have not succeeded:
Code:
setChildIndex(example,numChildren-1);
I am putting this code in it's class, and I tried replacing the word example with 'this'. Can someone please help me? When I test the swf it comes up with this in output:
