ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Movie Clips On Different Frames?
Jul 9, 2009How do I make a button on one frame (on the main timeline) tell a movie clip on another frame to go to a certain frame inside that movie clip?
To do this, if the mc's are on the same frame is easy because you just use the dot syntax or MovieClip(parent), but how would I do this if a mc is on a different frame?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Intences Inside Movie Clips?
Feb 22, 2011I want to create a menu which is a mc on the mainStage, not inside anything. The menu itself has element inside it, so something like this mainStage»navMenu»navMenuClose. I want the action script on the mainStage, but it does not recognize the button navMenuClose. I want the actionscript on the mainStage because I also want the menu to hide after each function, just for navigation. (The close is incase you changed your mind) If I have the script inside the navMenu it does not recognize the menu, so I cannot hide it from there.

Aug 23, 2010I'm trying to build a relatively simple photo gallery where the images are loaded via XML into thumbnail movieclips that have been dynamically generated, positioned and added to the display stack. I used a simple for loop to generate the thumbs and traced the thumb.name to make sure they all had unique instance names. I then added a listener to the thumb mcs in the for loop and created a function that traces the instance name of each thumb mc, to see if all is working, however, every thumb mc traces the same instance name. My question is how can I create the thumbs dynamically in a loop and, essentially, make them buttons that would display the big the full size photo.
Here is my prototype code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = new thumb();
// Positioning: The xy coordinates are in an array outside the for loop.

Mar 19, 2009I have a site I am working on for an athletic garment manufacturer. They would like to have a sample creator (product configurator) on the site so customers can get an idea what their ordered garments are going to look like. I have it all working except for one needed feature.The customer has requested that the creator have an input box where the customer can type their team name and have it appear on the drawn garment. They also need to be able to decide whether they want the name to appear in one of several various shapes. Similar to the Nike team builder am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to shape text in actionscript. With all of the shape tweening flash can do from the interface you would think a function would be available in actionscript

Nov 3, 2010All i really want to do is be able to affect multiple movieclips at once with event listeners and greensock tweens.The first snag I hit was that I couldn't create references to movie clips using the old [] Associative array referencing method. Maybe I still can with AS3, but I couldn't get it to work..So I found another technique using getChildByName that returns a reference to a movie clips and allows me to store that reference in a variable.However, the movie clip I'm trying to affect with an event listener resides inside of another movie clips, so to build the address (aka, root.mc1.m2.mc3) to the mc I want to get to is proving to be difficult. (I'm very new to AS3...)I thought the trace(target1_mc.target2_mc.name); at the bottom of the following code would output the name of target2_mc but it doesn't...[code]

Aug 30, 2009I've got a simple ActionScript 1 FLA. The SWF will take incoming variables from SWFObject. e.g. txtVar01, txtVar02, txtVar03 On the first keyframe on the main stage, I have a dynamic textfield, whose 'Variable' name is 'txtVar01'. When I view the SWF in a web page, via SWFObject, the value in the textfield matches that taken from the SWFObject variable. BUT - I have a MoveClip in the FLA, which has 2 other dynamic textfields, called txtVar02 and txtVar03.
When I view the SWF in the web page, these are empty, even though variables are being passed via SWFObject. I guess because the dynamic textfields are within an MC and not on the main stage, they can't access the variable names. I tried adding this to the first frame on the stage:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Attaching Movie Clips To Already Attached Movie Clips?
Jun 5, 2011As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

Mar 24, 2011I am a beginner in Flash development and I was just recently assigned to fix an old Flash project at my work. Essentially, the application is a video booth whereby users can record up to 60s of video via their webcam and then share it either via email, twitter, or facebook. When the application is started, a video ID is generated, and that is used as the video's file name when it is streamed and saved to the server. I am sure there is a better way to do this, but the way I came up with is to grab that video ID and pass it to the "Share" page as a URL variable, and then use that to access and share the video from the server. How I can access the video ID from the button that is sending the user to the "Share" page.
Here is the code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var ns:NetStream;
var cam:Camera;
var mic:Microphone;
var vidId:String = configName();

Flash :: Sending Variable From Fla To Document Class And Then Accessing?
May 31, 2011I want to find out whether my swf was loaded locally or from another swf. For this purpose I have declared a variable 'parentType' in my fla. var parentType:String = String(parent); There is a function in the document class that determines whether swf was loaded locally or from another swf. The name of the function in the document class is 'externalOrInternal'. The varaible parentType is passed as a parameter to the function externalOrInternal externalOrInternal(parentType); The name of the document class is Main. In the constructor of Main I have the function pollResize() (the use of this function is to listen for the resizing event. That part of the code is not shown in the snippet given below).
[Code]...
I see that swfParentType is has value insde the function externalOrInternal. My doubt is why null is traced inside the function pollResize. Why is it not [object Stage] as inside externalOrInternal. Due to this I am not able proceed further with the stage resizing event.What needs to be done so that proper value is traced in the function pollResize.
