Actionscript :: Get Url Path Of Self (movieclip) In Flash Within A Hierarchy Of Multiple Parent Movieclips?
Apr 3, 2011
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 am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).

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 a class linked with a movie clip, and in this movie clip I want to be able to add an event listener that calls a function in the Document class (the class you link with the fla as a whole). How can I do that? Say the name of my document class is KPScript.as. In my GameController.as class, I want to listen for key input and call pageChange() in KPScript.as when it gets called. Would I have to import KPScript.as into the GameController.as? If so, I wouldn't want to create another instance of the KPScript object.

I'm trying to make an onPress function for a MC inside a MC and I have figured it will look something like this:
_root.mc1.mc2.onPress = function(){}
It won't work though. What to do? (Now I see, I have that mc2 on the 2nd frame inside mc1... if I put it also on the first frame it works fine, but I don't want it on the first frame).

This is the scenario:
[AS]
// Assuming a lot more properties are added to all objects
var parent:Object = new Object();
var kid:Object = new Object();
var kidToy = new Object();
[code]....
Does making the parent object null recursively release all memory used by all subordinates in the hierarchy?

So for my main timeline:
var lightBox:mc_lightbox = new mc_lightbox();
lightBox.x = 300;
lightBox.y = 200;
addChild(lightBox);
I get a lightbox up on the screen, within the lightbox is some more script, there are three menu options for that new window. So far when you click on it the loading part comes up just fine but whenever I have it go to another scene it leaves behind the lightbox above. I'm able to removeChild(loading) because its right there just a function above but I'm unable to removeChild(lightBox) because it's one up. How can I access that child? I tried many variations of parent, MovieClip, and root relationships but still couldn't get flash to find it.

There are a few mc's already on stage that I've attached dynamically to _root. Now I want to take one of them and attach it into some other mc on stage, also attached dynamically. I want to retain the position, width and height of the former mc. Is this possible? some way to manipulate the pointers or addresses? Can I manipulate the ._parent property?

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have created a component (swc) that reads some Xml and stores away some values. Just trying the component out works very good and the XML is read correctly.The problem is that the XML-file read have the same name as the .swf that the component is loaded from. This wouldnt be a problem either if i stoped here and was using root.loaderInfo.loaderURL. And i realy need to get that name to know what XML to load and where its placed.The problem is that the .swf also is loaded inside another main-swf. The structurce look something like this [code]When using root.loaderInfo.loaderURL now i get the url to the mainSwf instead and cant find any way to get the name or path of Child1.swfChild1.swf and Child1.xml will be in subfolder to the mainSwf folder, the folder will have the same name (Child1)Soo my question is, is there any way of getting the Child1 path from the component? I should also say that the name Child1 can be anything since the folder and filestructure is generated from another application.

I'm working on a game right now where I'm going to have paths dynamically built by the user for multiple AI objects to "walk" along. I'll be detecting/redrawing the path only on user input but I'm still debating over the fastest possible method to update the movement of many AI objects "walking" along/up/down the given path. Think for example of pac man, but the level is dynamic. Right now I'm leaning toward building the enemies in a linked list of final classes and looping through the linked list calling a function in each of the AI objects to plot the next move along the path.

I 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.

I am having trouble with looping my flash that contains multiple movie clips. Each movie clip is on it's own layer and within the movie clips, the last frame I use this code to go and play the next movie in the parent: MovieClip(parent).nextFrame();My problem is that when the last movie clip of the sequence plays,I want to restart the entire thing and play the first movie clip again (a continuous loop).

Is there a way to use an existing path drawn on the scene, as the basis for path made up by many movieclips that also follow the original curves "curveture"?I kind of want to make a "road" consisting of "yellow stickit notes" overlapping each other.I want to do this without manually having to draw each stick-it note, so I can easily change the curve without having to redraw the whole thing.

I need to have a MovieClip/Sprite move along a path (which will likely be a Shape object) which is drawn dynamically and is going to be segments of straight-lines that bounces off the walls/edges of the stage. I now that Flash CS4 itself allows tween animation along a path, but I haven't been able to find an example of doing similar things in code. Most of the examples I see just deal with the x/y values directly. Is there no way to animate a MovieClip along an existing path object?

So I'm trying to shoot multiple bullets out of my body and it all works except I have an odd problem of just one bullet showing up and updating to set position for the new ones.
I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.
The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting. Here's My Code (The Bullet it self is a class)

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?
