Flash :: CurrentFrame Of Root Timeline From Inside Object?

Jun 15, 2011

Is it possible to pull the currentFrame of the root timeline from inside an object class? Normally a currentFrame call only checks the frame of the movieclip it's attached to within an object class, so how would you go about checking the frame of the entire project from within the object class file?

edit: Nevermind, I found what I was looking for. All you have to do is use MovieClip(root).currentFrame and it works just fine. Consider the question answered.

Does anyone know a good way to acquire the currentFrame of a movieclip symbol placed on the main timeline? currently there is only 1 frame, but the movieclip has 50.

If i trace currentFrame, i only get 1. and tracing the child name doesnt work either.

I got it to work earlier but it crashed before i got to save and now i cant figure it out. Was something to do with making another movieclip symbol.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Main Timeline Cotrolled By Movieclip CurrentFrame?

Oct 29, 2009

I know that the functionality of the addChildToStage and deleteChildFromStage functions works fine because I have tested it here: [URL] the nav adds a new instance of "player" to the stage and the big red button deletes "player".

I want to start the movie with a mc_CopyBlank on stage and then have the nav issue play(); command to the movie clip held in "player" then have the current frame of that clip trigger the addChildToStage and DeleteChildFromStage functions that I've written here. The .fla is hosted here: [URL]why this doesn't work. Feel free to keep the .fla as it's basically a barebones four page site. (if it ever works)

stop();
mc_nav1.buttonMode = true;
mc_nav2.buttonMode = true;
mc_nav3.buttonMode = true;

Actionscript 3 :: Position Loaded Object Based On Root Stage Instead Of MC That Is Loaded From Root

Mar 22, 2010

I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

Flash :: Dispose GC Root YES Object With 1 Unknown Path?

Jul 13, 2011

I am in a very peculiar situation here with my AS3 code. I was profiling my app in Flash Builder 4.5.1 as it seemed that it wasn't GC-ing some objects properly.

how to get rid of this object? Or how to determine what is holding it alive?

What does 1 Path mean? What is that GC Root and how it got there?

I am using robotlegs with IModuleContext, SignalCommandMap, LazyMediatorMap.

EDIT #1: It could be related to the robotlegs injector issue... or not, still waiting for some answers.

ActionScript 2.0 :: BNT Inside MC To Root?

Jan 14, 2011

I need some help in Flash As2. I have an animated movie clip that has a button inside it. The idea is to be able to click on the movie clip and get it to run the animation (with on(release){ gotoandplay(2);} as its code) and then stop on frame 10. So far that is working fine as it should.

Where im falling down is that on Frame 10 there is a new symbol (Attractions_button (This has an instance name)) that I want to be able to click and take me to a frame on the main time-line.

With some research into this I cannot find a solution. So far I have labeled the frame i wish to link to on the main time-line as NRM and have tried the following code on the button symbol itself:

This doesn't work. The reason I am trying to do this, is because every time I complete a level the timer is still going at the 'congratulations screen' and then when I go to level 2 the timer would start up again, and the seconds would go twice as fast.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access The Root Timeline From A Movieclip

Feb 24, 2010

I have a movielclip, nav_mc, inside which contains my navigation buttons. Lets say I want to effect the time timeline. Before in AS 2.0 I could simply go

jan1_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.january_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
}

Now in AS 3.0, nothing works.

button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, doIt);

function doIt(evt:MouseEvent):void {
_root.january.gotoAndStop(2);
}

That doesn't work. Returns this in errors:

Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..

Neither does

root.january.gotoAndStop(2)

or

stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
(1119: Access of possibly undefined property ball_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.)

or

_stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)

or anything!

How do we do this very simple thing now in AS 3.0

TLDR;

How do I reference the _root timeline in AS 3.0 since _root. no longer works in 3.0

I intend on getting fully up to speed with AS3 but right now I need a quick fix.on the root timeline I have a variable : var myHitTest:Boolean = false;My MovieClip needs to access this var so I tried it several ways listed here. I've had no success.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing Functions In Root Timeline

Jun 30, 2009

I have a 13 movieclips within another movieclip which in turn is placed on the root timeline. I have written a function in the actions layer of the main timeline:
function illboxClear(){
_root.illpre.ill1.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill2.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill3.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill4.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....

It sends the animation in each of those described movieclips back to frame one as you can see. When I try to call the function from actions on a button which itself within a separate movieclip placed on the stage:
on (rollOver) {
illboxClear();
_root.illpre.ill2.play()
} on (rollOut) {
_root.illpre.ill2.play()
} on (release) {getURL("boxer.html","_blank");
}
It doesn't work! Can I not call functions from button objects or have I made some other elementary error?

im attempting to keep it as portable as possible so its easier to edit later, and i dont have to go around copying/pasting too much code. - i'll cut to the chase..

On my main timeline, i load all the image-file names, as variables.. using loadvars into thumbnails, which ive given instancenames Loader_1 to Loader_20, inside these thumbnails is the Loader component Thumb_1. Here is the code on the main timeline, to load these variables.

Code:
BigLoader._visible = false;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// load variable function

how i could make this more portable without -completely- changing the format its in [so i can still understand it]

Movie Clips - Layers On Root Timeline?

Feb 28, 2010

I have only been using FLASH CS3 for a little under a month. I have messed about with it to create some basic stuff. However recently I started on a bit of a larger project. I 'm by no means an expert in FLASH CS3 or AS3.My problem -I created a .FLA file that has seven movie clips on the main timeline, each in its own layer. These are listed below in the order they appear within the main time line.

layer ------------ movie clip
ON -------------- on_mc
RIM ------------- rim_mc
NAV-------------- coverbase_mc
PLAYER---------- player_mc
MAIN------------- main_mc
NAMEBOX------- shellname_mc
BASE------------ Base_mc

The art work for these was all imported from adobe photoshop. They all only have one frame on the main timeline. Each movie clip though has its own internal time line and some have further nested movie clips within them.The issue occurs within the NAV layer/coverbase_mc. I placed a movie clip(to act as a button) within coverbase_mc. This movie clip is called navbut_mc.Now, I already have a couple of similar movie clips, that act as buttons, in on_mc and rim_mc these work as I intended them to. However navbut_mc does not work at all in its current position. I get no errors at all on testing the movie but the action that I want it to do does not work even buttonmode = true; will not work on it.

However, if I use the same movie clip in the rim.mc, but obviously give it a seperate instance name (start_mc), then it works as intended. I have looked at various diffrent things but have to admit i'm stummped. Its almost as if when its in coverbase_mc its being hidden by the clips above it, if thats possible.The reasons I need it to work in coverbase_mc are for a) the overall look of the project b)I have some other buttons in that location that need to work from there.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling MovieClip On Root Timeline?

Aug 19, 2008

My stage is empty except for an MC with a simple animation and an AS 2 layer. There is not a button or user interaction that engages the MC. I want the MC to play when the timeline reaches the frame with the AS. My MC has an instance name of 'blueMC' and here's the AS I've tried:

blueMC.play();
_root.blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
on(load){
blueMC.play();
} onClipEvent(load) {
blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
}
Shouldn't it just be this?:
MCinstanceNmae.gotoAndPlay("Frame# or label");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable From Root Timeline Into MC?

Aug 15, 2009

I'm guessing this is pretty simple, I just can't find the solution through my google searches.

Bascially I created a variable and gave it a value in the first frame of my main timeline.

Now I just want to pass that variable into a MovieClip. When I trace the value of the variable within the movieClip I get undefined.

Is there something else I have to do to make it recognize the root timeline's variable?
