Flash :: Why A Movieclip Or Any Other Subcomponent Become Publically Accessible When Provided Instance Name
Nov 3, 2011
i placed a movieclip inside a movieclip A_Mc ( representing ClassA) . Now if i place another movieclip ( without naming, and making sure that automatic instance naming is Off via the flash IDE ), everything runs fine. But when i provide an instance name say b_Mc , then it MUST be able to be publically accessible. What is the logic behind this setup. Why while designing i cannot make a sub-movieclip which is private and inaccessible to others?

In Flash Professional, I have a MovieClip and that clip has children. Let's say the parent clip is a night sky and the children are different instances of a star MovieClip that animates in a loop. This whole thing compiles down to a NightSky.swc which I use in Flash Builder as part of a larger project.
In Flash Pro, I position the child clips with a high level of precision. From there, I want to assign properties to these "stars." Say, I want to assign "galaxyId" and "isRedGiant" but (and this is key) I want to edit those properties in Flash Professional and have those value accessible in Flex.[code]...

I downloaded this mp3 player[url]...
I havn't modified the AS, only the vplayer.xml and the size, colors of the player. Now when I execute the swf file itself, the player works just fine, but it will not work embeded into an html file, the player says "Loading playlist, Standby"
I'm trying to figure out the problem, but since I'm a total AS n00b, I'm not in a position to troubleshoot the problem, so here's the webpage[url]...

I am trying to make a class that extends the movie clip class. I want to essentially have a movie clip class that has a "handle" by which I mean a settable reg point by referring to a parent container movie clip. I have many parts of it working. I have functions that can move the handle/parent to any location on the screen, one that centers, and a move method that moves the movie clip by moving the parent so it is being moved by the origin you specify etc.
But one thing I would like to have the handledMovieClip class to do is to make the handled movie clip and then automatically generate the parent movie clip with the same name appended with "h" and put the handledMovieClip into the parent MovieClip. The parent movie clip should then be accessible by actions on the main timeline. Suppose that the movieclip name is MC so then the parent would be called MCh. I do this by making a new movie clip and then changing the name to "MCh".
But when I try to use the dot syntax from the main time-line it doesn't seem to know the object. So I can't do something like "trace(MCh.width);". I can get what I want by creating the handled movie clip and then the parent and then putting the handledMovieClip into the parent with addChild. It works if I do it from the main time line, but not if I try to do the exact same thing within the class constructor. I thought it would be a nice feature if the user only had to make the handledMovieClip and if the parent was generated by the class constructor automatically.

I have a movieclip instance named 'placeholder' on the canvas, and I want to change the alpha of the named movieclip from it's class without effecting the alpha of all the movieclips of the same type. How would I specifically target the named movieclip instance that is on the canvas?

I'm trying to propagate an assignment to the data parameter of a sub-component through it's parent component's setter. Like this:
<CustomComponent
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="components.*"
[Code].....
When I ran my application, the sub-component never received its data. When debugging and stepping to the line marked "ref #1", the debugger jumps out of the method and continues on to something else as if the method was complete. It seems like some exception or error was thrown but the console gives no indication of what is wrong with this assignment.
Environment: This is using Flex SDK 3.2, with the Flex Builder 3 plugin for Eclipse on Windows, with Flash 9 Debug ver. for IE7.
Note: With this particular example I'm trying to avoid Binding on purpose. I mean, why can't I manually push the data to the sub-component rather than binding it?

I have setup a Scroller container around an HGroup of labels. The Scroller is setup to only display a single label at a time. What I am trying to do is determine which label is in view of the Scroller when a button is clicked. I have scoured the reference material on Scrollers and HGroups, but cannot formulate a programmatic strategy to determine what element of the group is in view.

I have a class which crate a panel with close button. and i create an instance of this class like this
function _smallThumbClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {

i'm trying to use compiled assets and code from a swc. Inside a new fla I select the swc to be included when exporting. When create the instance in the timeline of the code works and I can see assets that are inside the swc and trace a propertie from the same object. The problem is only when doing the same inside a movieclip, can't reach the assets (movieclip) but I can still trace properties from the class. I've uploaded the working files: master.fla is the one that creates the swc. template.fla is where I test the swc. files (This are cs4 .fla + .swc + .as)

I'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.

I am working on a browser project for the blind in my university. For swf files, I am trying to access the contents of an SWF and parse so that screen readers can use it to read it aloud. I was successfully able to extract static text using swfutils.jar from inside the Flex SDK. But I was wondering if the following i spossible : Given a flash webform, I should be able to move the through the fields using 'Tab' and then read out the buttons ( by extracting associated text), and read it aloud so that the user can click the required button.. I hope I am clear with my problem description..

I've got Captivate movies dynamically loading into a Flash movie. The problem is, the tab index which works so well when the Captivate movies are in stand-alone mode falls apart when loading the Captivate movie into a Flash shell. I've tried tabEnabled=false and tabChildren=true for the movie clip that contains the Captivate movie, but with no results. Does anyone know how to get the focus manager to tab to objects in a Captviate movie when that movie is running in a Flash shell?

Is it possible to access the type of object being interacted with so I can create a new instance of the same object? So for example in the code below I have the movieclip myItem. After it's clicked it is removed from stage and then moved to the inventory. When I click on it there, is it possible to create a new instance of mcItemToDuplicate using the event information parameters? (while allowing myItem to be where it is).
My code looks something like this:
public function moveclip() {
var myItem:mcItemToDuplicate = new mcItemToDuplicate();
stage.addChild(myItem);

I have two flash files (say screenOne.fla and gameA.fla). After importing the main symbol of screenOne.fla into gameA.fla as a movieclip symbol (call it screenOneSymb), the simple buttons in the instance of screenOneSymb do not work. By "do not work" I mean they have no rollover, not mouse action, nothing. If I go into the edit "screenOneSymb" in gameA.fla and turn on "Control->enable simplebuttons" the buttons will work while in edit "screenOneSymb" but not on the main flash stage. I've worked around it, but this is driving me crazy. How do I import multi-layered movieclip symbols (with buttons and animations, etc, etc) and get them to work out of the box?

I have just finished a flash movie for a client which is an interactive payslip to explain all the different sections. They have got back to me and said it's great but I need to make this accessible for screen readers etc, and sent me the following link: [URL]. I have read through it all and I am slightly confused as to now how to make my complete movie accessible. Can I just add in the text links on the Accessible panel for the movie clips or will I have to create a whole separate column of hidden content for people to tab through?

I have made a very simple swf in which I have a MovieClip which I have rotated on the stage. When I try to access this rotationX and rotationY properties of this clip using the constructor of the class assigned to this MovieClip they are coming back as 0 even though they shouldn't be. If I put an on rollover event of the MovieClip and trace out these properties here I get the correct values.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
I also get the correct values when I read the values from the stage timeline.
trace ("TEST "+testMC.rotationX+" "+testMC.rotationY); //returns correct value
Is there a specific event I need to be waiting for which will tell me when the 3d properties are available via ActionScript?

It appears that the flash variables are not accessible in Chrome when Javascript is turned off. Having said that, Youtube seem to work fine, when I test other sites like www.nhs.uk it does not seem to work, nor does mine.
I am using the most recent version of Chrome on Windows. Is there anything special that I need to target Chrome, how do I resolve this issue ?

I'm trying to build a class that can handle a menu or other grid of buttons being keyboard accessible (navigate with arrowkeys, select with another key, here 'b'). So far I have the keyboard part working, but you have to click one of the buttons to 'activate' it, and I am unsure of the logic needed to do the mouse events. I have added mouse events but don't see a simple way of integrating them with the keyboard system. Code is here, and both the class and a test .fla are attached.
Basically, the list of instances are passed by the frame into the constructor in an array. The selector class manages the index in the array of the currently selected button. The frame adds a key event listener, and these keys are picked up by the class to change the selected button and call the roll out and roll over methods to change the states (for this test just adjusting scale to 1.4, but in future, causing them to run a function or similar).
What I would ideally like, ideally, is for the keyboard and mouse to work in sync, as in rolling over with the mouse will update the currentButton index... If not, just some explanation as to why one of the buttons in the array must be clicked first before I can start using the keyboard would be good.

I am trying to make a reference to a movieclip instance that is in another movieclip.
Here's the deal: I have a main timeline for different pages of a website...then within that I make all of the art on each page into a movieclip so I can do animations every time that main timeline frame is called to, yet still keep my main timeline clean.
Within one page's movieclip I have a few buttons that I want to use to go to other pages by referencing them on the main timeline.I have been using this: (home_about is the about us button on my home page, and frame 31 is on the main timeline).
home_about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6(event:MouseEvent) :void
{[code].............
Since this home_about is within another movieclip,I get the access of undefined property error. Do I need to change the code I've pasted above or add in variable definitions to fix this?
