I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.

When I set the visible property to false for a child in a container, how can I get the container to resize? In the example bellow, when clicking on "Toggle", "containerB" is hidden, but the main container's scrollable area is not resized. (I do not want to scroll through a lot of empty space.)

How can I limit the size of a child container with percentage width/height of 100%?
Example:
<mx:HBox id="container" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:HBox id="scrollContainer" width="100%" height="100%">
<!-- keep this content limited to the size of "container" -->

Apparently I can get the desired behavior if I change HBox to Canvas but I would still like to know how to accomplish this with a HBox and why it differs from Canvas.

In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%">
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
<s:VGroup id="main_container" horizontalAlign="left" paddingBottom="10" paddingTop="10"
verticalAlign="top" width="100%">

I have a loop that goes through data from a book and displays it. The book is not consistent in it's layout so I am trying to display it in two different ways. First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.
else if (newPanel == false){
// simpleData is just for the title bar of the new panel
// otherwise the panel has no content
[Code]....
The error I get is: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property panel4.4 not found on components.readTest and there is no default value.
I have tried setting the "name" property instead of the "id" property.

I am loaded images into a container that is being displayed on a map. I've created a string of my images names and am looping a loader to load each image and add them to the container.
var overlays=["compsmall.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall4.png"]
var overlay_container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
function calloverlays():void
[Code]....
Once all of my images are loaded into the container overaly_container how can I call on a specific child of the container? For example how can I call on compsmall2.png once its been loaded into overlay_container?
I place these images onto a map by placing the whole container at the correct location. I then turn layers on/off by adding and removing the children within the container. This is why I'd like to specify a specific object in the parent.

PHP Code:
container.mouseChildren=false;container.mouseEnabled=false;
to set mouseEnabled=false for each child of container would not help performance right?

Basically, I have a menu created using XML. Each menu item has a fill that fades in and out as the user scrolls over them. What I want to happen is that when an item is clicked, it stays highlighted. The problem comes when I click on the second item. I can't get the first item to "unselect."Here is the menu code and functions.
Code:
var menuHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
menuHolder.x = myMask.x;

i'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame.
as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.

My question is not like the one I read because the context is different: Let's say instead of embedding a flash inside an html page with some flashvars, I want to embed it inside another flash or flex. How to set the flashvars in this case (using ActionScript 3)? So how to embed Flash in another flash and set same variables as it was embedded in html by passing querystring or flashvars.

I've got a grid of images which are added to a imagecontainer(Sprite) in a class. When I click a button, the imagecontainer gets tweened(scaled) to 0.2 Now I would like to start dragging around the images. on mouse-down I add an enterFrame Event:
[Code]...
Unfortunately the image is never on the mouseposition but has a increasing/decreasing offset to the mouse pointer.The alternative, startDrag/stopDrag works perfectly, but I stll need the mouseX/mouseY for placing the image on a grid.I tried also parent.mouseX, no luck with that.Why is this happening? I thought mouseX/mouseY is always depending on the stage-dimension.

I've got a container(sprite) with children(sprites) added to it. When I scale the container, I would like to get the new width of a child, but when I trace the children's width I always get the original dimensions, even though everything gets visually scaled as it should. How do I overwrite the children-width ?
Update: I just found out that the children.graphics-"dimensions" could have caused the problem. When I leave the graphics, everything seems ok. Is it possible to scale the graphics at same time as the child-sprite?

I am trying to get an image object from one sprite container and adding it to another sprite container. But when I use GetChildAt for this, it will remove the object from the parent sprite and place it inside the other.
Code:
sprContainer1.addChildAt(sprContainer2.getChildAt( 1),0);
Problem is when I run this code sprContainer2.numChildren is getting reduced by 1, which seems that this code removes a child from sprcontainer2.

I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.

Not sure if the subject title really describes what i want, but its the best i could think of. Anyways, the problem is that I have a code similar to this (its been shortened so the problem is easier to understand):
[AS]
for (index=0; index<12; index++) {
frameHolder = this.createEmptyMovieClip("frameHolder"+i, i);[code]....
So basically what i want is to have the frameHolder function target ALL the dynamically created MC's - frameHolder1, frameHolder2 ...frameHolder12. But when you trace the function, frameHolder only equals "frameHolder12", so therefore the function only works for the 12th MC.

Beneath it I have a div called "container". I would like to hit a button in the flash file and have the contents of the container div change. I've done a similar thing with frames or iframes in the past, but I'm thinking there is a way to tell flash what div I am argetting. I would love to see the answer in AS3 since I'm trying to get myself away from many years of using AS2

I would like to duplicate a movieClip that exists in a SWF that has been loaded into the main movie and place this duplicate into a different SWF that is loaded intop the main movie. I am not sure if this is possible and can't get this to work.I have made a simple movie with 2 movieclips and the code inside of one of the boxes tries to duplicate the other movieclip using this code:
[AS]
duplicateMovieClip(_root.my_mc, "my2_mc", 2);
my2_mc._x += 100;
[/AS]
As I say I'm not sure I can target MCs in that are not on the same level as the function is called from.

MovieCLips inside another container MovieClip won't respond to a DOUBLE_CLICK event.I've added EventListeners for MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP and the contained MovieClips respond well to those, but not the DOUBLE_CLICK (Argh). Why? Doesn't DOUBLE_CLICK propugate to the children inside the container? I've tried doubleClickEnabled = true, but that don't work.The code:
thumb_group.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , onArtDown);
thumb_group.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onArtUp);
thumb_group.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLI CK, onArtDoubleClick);
