I used the 3d transform tool to rotate and move an mc in 3d.How do i make it to behave as a 2d movie again... Reset doesn't work... it only resets all to 0 but it's still 3d.The only way I found was to delete it and drag it back from the library but is there a more common solution?
View 1 RepliesI'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...
I'm trying to make a movieclip scale proportionally only if the item is being resize smaller than the current.Obviously I can use the ScaleX/Y values like so:
if (cont.scaleX < cont.scaleY ) { cont.scaleY = cont.scaleX; } else { cont.scaleX = cont.scaleY; }
I need to restrict/reset the scale proportions only in special case that the stageWidth/Height are smaller than the movieclip.
I know this may have a simple answer, but I'm not so sure. So, in the background of one of my games, I have a little train moving:

So I have a system of adding and removing movie clips to the stage. It seems to work fine. Except one of the movieClips has a movieClip inside it that does not seem to reset when addChild puts the parent back on the stage. [code]...
View 9 Replies1. If you have a dynamic text field and movieclip under a mask layer.
2. through actionscript you set the text of the text field, and set the frame of the movieclip.
3. You want the mask to animate, so you create a new keyframe at frame 10 in the mask layer, and change the shape of the mask. The problem is that when you play the movie and it reaches the keyframe where the mask changes, it resets both the text field and movieclip to it's initial state. I've run into this issue in both AS2 and AS3, and also using an animated movieclip as a mask. Whatever is underneath the mask gets reset. I've created a very simple fla to demonstrate this (attached).
I added a child (addChild(myCllip) ) and then i change properties of other movieClips inside it then i remove it.
My problem is that when i addChild it again i remains the same when i removed it.
Its there a way to reset the to the original state of the movieClip when i addit again?

I have a movie clip that sits just of my stage. When clicked the mc slides out based on the _x,_y position. The problem I have is how do I close my menu or reset it back to it;s original position as to appear closed. Heres the code I've placed in the timeline:[code]indicate what code would I use within the 'else statement'. I have this cmmon problem when I want a button to provide a loop type function. I.e toggle sound on and off with one button.I want this menu to be available all the time so it would sit in the _root (index swf file). The rest of the pages are called using loadMovie as external files.
View 1 RepliesI have created an interactivity to simulate a product. To do this my project has multiple frames. Each frame contains an individual movie clip. The clips each contain buttons that change the display and go to and stop on specific frames based on which button was pressed. My problem is, after the interaction a movie clip may have been stopped on say frame 12, the next time the frame containing the movieclip is opened on the main timeline I need the movieclip to open on frame 12 . However, the movie clip opens back up at frame 1 each time not saving the interaction.

How can i send to back a movieclip by actionscript?
The scenario (photo gallery): I have the stage. Then I have a movie clip with thumbnails on it. Click a thumbnail and it opens another movie clip that I have attempted to make look like a modal window-drk grey transparent, you can see through to the thumbnails it is sitting over, and the large pic appears on this. So click thumb, and go into movie clip with the rectangle background and large pic. User can scroll through large pics, and then click button on right that will "close" back to the thumbnails movie clip. The "close" button isn't working with or without the actionscript I have tried so far. And I don't know the correct actionscript that would close this movie clip back to the thumbnail movie clip.
View 7 RepliesI've got some movieclips where everytime when you click on one, that movieclip has to be send to the back.Most logic solution is MovieClip.swapDepth(1), so you swap with the movie wich is at the lowest depth, but for one reason or another, this results in the movieclip jumping to the front.An examplefile is in attachment.this is my script:
mc1.onRelease = function() {
mc1.swapDepths(1);

I have this code on a button that exist witin the movie clip that i want the action to take place.

If you check my site I'm trying to make [URL] and click one of my buttons the menu/logo/music/.. will move to the coords..
Here's the script I used:
1st frame:

Frame in which the action will take place:
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
[Code] ....
But if you try to click for example on the "contact" button and after "about" button you can see that my music button (right side) is closer to the main border... so why the mc's coords are little off if you had clicked different button before (or if the mc's coords are different than before)? [note that I need to use Math.floor and Math.round to make it look sharp and that the speed value is for all MC's number 5]. Also my MC location is set up to hole pixels..
What is the shortcut for going ONE step back, when being inside a MovieClip. I get inside the MovieClip using "Edit in place" (CMD+Alt+E), but HOW DO I GET OUT using a shortcut?(In the old days i could just use the 'edit in place' shortcut again without having anything selected, but since CS4 or 5 upgrade, that option is gone.)

I have a movieclip that I am using greensocks transformManager with so the user can rotate, skew, and scale the clip. This works fine, but I am trying to add a crop tool. If the image is rotated, when I send the image to the crop tool it measures the height of the image by the bounds of the rotated image, not the actual height of the image if it were square (re: not rotated).
So, what I tried to do what, after sending it to the crop tool, rotate it back to 0 before getting the bounds using this code:

I don't understand the math here. Shouldn't it just rotate 3rads in the positive direction to equal it out? How would I return it to 0;
I've got 3 pages each with their own portfolio loaded dynamically from an XML file. Everything is working great with the thumbnails i added using the "adding thumbnail" tutorial. There's only one quirk I can't figure out. If you've scrolled to the end of the thumbnails on the first portfolio, the scroller stays in the same place when you go to the next portfolio rather than reloading back at the beginning. I hope that makes sense because it's hard to explain, but the site is [URL] here's the partial code for the thumbnails...

I have a btn within a Movieclip at a certain keyframe the user is asked if they want to go back to make another selection from a choice category (within the maintimeline)
As of now the code I have for the btn that jumps you back to the main timeline is:

Does _root.stop(24) need to be in quotes?

View 1 RepliesI am using the ._height of a movieclip in my AS and for some reason one of these is coming back incorrect.It is off by 3.4 pixels.I can't see anything in the movie clip that would cause this.
View 1 RepliesIs there someway that you can arrange movieclips in as3? Like when you right click on it and you can arrange "Send to back", "Send to front". For example I've exported 2 Mc:s to as3 and made a new instance in as3 by referring to the class I exported. So is there someway I can decide which one to put infront of the other one? If it's confusing my goal is to at some point bring one of the Mc:s to the front, and on another point bring the other MC so the front.

I have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline. I feel like I am so close.
Also is this an ok way to set this up? I couldn't figure out how to do it in one frame. I didn't realize this basic framework was going to be so difficult.

I can get my menu buttons to move me around the timeline, but am at a loss as to how to move to a frame on the main timeline using a button within a movieclip that has it's own timeline.
So what I mean is that on the mian timeline, a movieclip graphic with a button in it drops down. This movieclip has it's own timeline, and any AS to control the button has to be in this timeline. So how do I tell it 'when the button is clicked, go BACK to frame X on the MAIN timeline?
Here's the AS on the main timeline for the menu buttons (how would I adapt it to apply to buttonX within movieclipZ?, and where would I put this extra code in my movie?):
function Nav(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Nav "+arguments)
switch(event.target.name){
case "gilbert": gotoAndPlay(72); break;

How can i reset a frame so everything starts again instead of manually coding for everything to go back to normal positions because i have lots of objects and it makes it real hard.
