var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;

inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:

}

this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.

function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}

and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Flash :: Use MovieClip Target Name To Pass Variable To Function

Feb 22, 2012

How can I combine the following functions and still pass a different string to the buildUI(); function?

I have two functions that do the same thing only at the end they both call a function and pass a String value to the function. This string value is the only thing different.

Below is are my eventlisteners and functions as they are now:

female_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startFemale);
male_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMale);
//FUNCTIONS THAT DO THE SAME THING AND BOTH CALL buildUI BUT PASS A DIFFERENT STRING.

Flash :: Creating An Instance Of A Movieclip With Event.target Information?

Jul 6, 2010

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);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Target A Movieclip Within A Movieclip?

Jul 30, 2010

Its day 3 of learning AS3 for me. I cant seem to target a movieclip within a movieclip. I code with all my actions on the first frame of the root timeline and would like to continue this practice. But when I target the clip from the root my function wont run.

Here is my example:

Code:
wheel_mc.spinBackward_mc.buttonMode = true;
wheel_mc.spinForward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spinForward);
function spinForward(event:MouseEvent):void {

[code]....

Basically it wont gotoAndPlay("fadeIn") and I'm not sure why. So my question so I can move on in my AS3 learning is how to I target a movieclip with another movieclip, or is there another more proper way to do what I'm trying to achieve.

So I know I need to make Revlon_mc into another movieclip (so I can do the actual animation inside this movie clip and move it easily around the main timeline) but I'm not what the code would be (something to do with parent perhaps??) and would I still keep the code on the main timeline or would it sit within the new moviclip just created?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Target Nested MovieClip In FLV Component

Mar 31, 2009

I have a video player that's control bar's x & y are over the top of the video. It is set to alpha 0, and when the user rolls over the video the control bar's alpha goes to 1 and becomes visible. I have a few even listeners and a function that makes this happen. My issue is that the buffer handle and the volume handle do not go to alpha 0, despite the fact that their parents do. The instance of "volumeHandle" is the child of "volumeSlider". "volumeSlider" does go to alpha 0, then to alpha 1 on rollover, but it's child "volumeHandle, is always visible. The same applies to the respective instances of the buffer bar.

I have tried
volumeHandle.volumeSlider.alpha = 0;
But that doesn't work. My guess is that the conflict lies in the linkage of the controls for the buffer and volume handles.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag Object Onto Target MovieClip?

I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Move MovieClip From Current X,y To Target?

Jan 13, 2010

I'm creating a site that allows drag and drop navigation. Here's the current preview:

[URL]

My goal is to allow the user to freely navigate the desktop and explore at their leisure, however, for the user who's a little more impatient I want to offer an option allowing them to click a button on the bottom menu and have the desktop slide directly from the movieclip's current XY coordinates (whatever they are at the time), to a designated XY, and center on that specific section, easing into place.

I've got placeholder buttons, and placeholders for the desired targets, but I can't wrap my mind around the code needed to do it, nor have I found any examples that use the same technique with AS3.

Actionscript 3.0 :: PaperVision - Target Movieclip In MovieAssetMaterial?

I've been trying for ages to find out how to do this exactly, but haven't had much luck, I'm trying to build a version of my portfolio site using Flash and Papervision, however, I'm having a little trouble coming up with more sophisticated interaction aside from assigning click events to individual objects.

Say I make a MovieAssetMaterial, and inside that material, I place another movieClip.

How do I target that nested movieClip so I can get it to do something? Is it even possible? From what I've researched I need to be using an "InteractiveSceneManager" but I can't find any references on how exactly to implement one.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Any Way To Target MovieClip Other Than Using Multiple Parents?

Apr 25, 2004

I have several buttons on an externally loaded swf that work fine but I'd like to clean up the code if possible. Is there an better way to target the mc other than using multiple _parents?

Code:
on (rollOver) {
_parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent.expression.gotoAndStop (2);
} on (rollOut) {
_parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent.expression.gotoAndStop (1);
}

The thing is I am not exactly sure if this mc is going to remain an external swf or if it will eventually stand alone, which is why I haven't targeted the root at its level. I'd like it to work either way if possible.

function photoSwapAni(){

Also I see I'm going to have an issue with the random part because it could call the same animation twice or more times in a row. Should I ad some sort of if statement or is there a better way to do this random part of the code?
