View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a small game but would like to do the following:I have four Movie Clips, named rather imaginatively clip1, clip2, clip3, clip4.Now what I would like to do is store those MovieClip names in an array so that I can use them in a for next loop.
a[]=new Array('clip1','clip2','clip3','clip4');
for(n=0;n<a.length;n++){
// How do I call the MovieClip so I can manipulate it

How to call a movie dynamically from library in CS4 ?I have already made a separate movie clip.I went to advanced, linkage
interface---"slider"
class ----"slider"
base ----// it was disabled
also it gives error even if i do not right anything on AS3 "Class or Interface not present"
Say I have this:
PHP Code:
function f1():void (!paused //animate something //

I have tried this for a couple of days. I created a swf object in window.onload (also tried load it directly), call an as function from js. statically embedded swf works for both IE8 and FF, FF also fine for dynamically loading. externalinterface.call("echo", "as returns " + b); always shows "as returns false".
//js
<script language="javascript">
var containerready=false,flashready=false;
[code]........
What I have:A swf exports a function via ExternalInterfaceJavascript creates new embed object and adds it to the documentCalling flash functions works fine in other browsersCalling flash functions will fail in IE 8Example of exporting functions in swf:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("isActive", ...
Example of creating the embed object:
var b = document.createElement('embed');
[code].....
I'm trying to build an API in JS that will perform some operations and then execute the callback that's registered in AS when it's done. Because it's an API, I am just providing a JS method signature for another developer to call in Flash. Thus, the callback name that's registered in the AS part of the code should be a parameter that's passed in to the JS API in order for JS to communicate back to Flash.
For example:
[AS3 code]
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashCallbackName", processRequest);
ExternalInterface.call("namespace.jsFnToCall", flashCallbackName);
function processRequest(data:String):void {
//do stuff
[Code] .....
Because the definition of the function is in AS, I can't use the window [function name] approach. The only way I can think of is to build the callback in a string and then use the eval() to execute it.
I'm attempting to call a Class constructor dynamically using factories:
ActionScript Code:
public function construct(classRef:Class, initArgs:Array):* {
var factory:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(classRef);
var classInstance:* = factory.newInstance();
return classInstance;
}
This works just fine, except when the constructor of the classRef being passed in requires arguments, as in the sample class below:
ActionScript Code:
public class Foo
{
public function Foo(arg:String) {
[code]....
Is there any way I can call construct(Foo, "Hello World") and have it properly pass the parameters to Foo's constructor? (I'm not locked in ClassFactory, by the way, I also tried classRef.apply(initArgs) and a few other hacks to no avail.)
Does anyone know the best method to trigger a function in the root from a dynamically loaded movieclip (loaded using addchild) using AS3, I understand targeting root is not the best way to do this?

I'm dynamically adding to the stage a series of mc from a MovieClip class contained in the library(instance.name: "btn_1", btn_2", etc..) and trying to call them from a method within my Main.as class. What's the best way to do this. I can't seem to reach these dynamically created MCs.
View 2 RepliesI have created several buttons using movie clips with animations and the 'rewind=true'method when someone mouses off.

I have a flash file that load an external swf with this script, all using AS3:
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();
addChildAt(my_Loader, 0);
var my_url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("final-video.swf");
my_Loader.load(my_url);
Inside this external file (final-video.swf) i have buttons called for example button1, button2...What will be the path to have actions to these buttons? I tried, from the original file not the external swf (final-video.swf), this script:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, actionBtn1);
but i have this error: 1120: Access of undefined property testBtn.how can you call from the front flash file, buttons that are inside external swf?
Basically I have 3 swf, parent.swf, child1.swf and child2.swf
parent.swf loads child1.swf
child1.swf loads child2.swf
child2.swf consists of 7 buttons which when click it will 7 different swf files.
My problem is I want to call those buttons name/instance name to my parent so that when click it will load its corresponding swf file.
I recently started working on a project using Adobe Flash Pro cs5, the one thing that i am stuck on though is trying to call a button from inside a movieclip.

View 4 RepliesI reworked a script that creates a menu from XML. Works great, it creates the menu items by attaching a button I have in my library, each button gets the proper data passed to it in the process. Each button has an onRelease tied to it by the script. When the menu item is clicked (onRelease) it loads an image and proper data into the movie (into movie clips & dynamic text boxes).My hangup is that I want the first menu item to be called when the menu is created. In other words, i want to call the function that the onRelease is calling with the first menu items data but i can't figure out how to do it.All i can figure is having the button call the function itself [i.e.if(this.name =="button1"){] but that doesn't work.[code]
View 1 RepliesI made 5 buttons on the stage. When these buttons are clicked I want to show AND hide items related to the buttons. Is there a way to "toggle" a simple button so that when it is cliked the first time it shows the object, clicked a second time it hides the object using the same function? In other words, is there a property of a simple button that changes state?

I have a site with the main content loading on _level2, then I have a contact page that loads over _level2 on _level5. The contact page has a bunch of input text fields, if you use the tab button to go to the next text field it calls on clickable objects on _level2 as well as the text fields... is there a way I can write a script to disable all clickable objects on _level2 while the contact section is loaded, and then enable them once more when I unload _level5?
