there is a movieclip named movie with instance name movie.Inside this movie there is a textbox in frame 1.I want to give properties and methods to that textbox.
View 1 RepliesI have tested with frame number it works, it doesn't with label name. Is it possible ? In main.as:
public function gotoTab1(target:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}[code]....
of course I give tab2 as label name to the frame at position 5.no error shows up.
I'm using a movieClip inside a ScrollPane to show a list of CheckBoxes. The amount of CheckBoxes shown is dynamic, it depends on a SQL query. After the query is done, I add as many CheckBoxes as rows in the result set. What I am trying to do is to access some methods I wrote in the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane to get the length of the CheckBoxes, check which ones are selected and the label they have (their label is also defined by the SQL query).
I've tried this
valueINeedToGet = Object(root).scrollPaneInstance.source.functionINeedToRun();
But it returns error #1006
How can I access the code inside the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane?
I am trying to use this if statement with a frame label instead of a frame number. I believe that _currentframe is looking for a number only. Is there a different command that looks at frame labels instead of frame numbers?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to find the frame number of frame label with AS if a button is rolled over, the timeline jumps to a label - which plays a set of 3D rendered frames to 'raise' and element, once a user rolls out of the 'button' area the button is meant to 'lower' - which can be done by simply playing backwards to the previous label.

I have a bunch of labels on a long timeline, but want to create some calculations based on the number of frames between labels.
I would like to use a conditional to determine if my location is before or after a frame.However, to make it portable I would like to base it on the label name.e.g.
if (_currentframe < "p2")
however, "p2" is the label of a frame.So how do I get the frame number from the frame label? I am making something that when it detects a click, jumps to the next point in the movie. These P1,P2, etc. will be distributed through the movie.
'if jump detected'{
if (_currentframe < "p2"){
gotoAndPlay("p2");
} ELSE IF (_currentframe < "p3") {
gotoAndPlay("p3");
I guess the problem with this is what if the one of the movies isn't as long and doesn't have a "p4" location for example.Probably I can handle this case when I am setting up the variables that contain the frame number of "p2", "p3", etc... checking agains the max number of frames.

Does this sound like the best idea?

Is there an event listener that will allow me to access either the frame number or frame label of a playing SWF loaded with the new Loader statement? I need to trigger the play() function of another external SWF, as well as other functions.
View 9 RepliesI created the following AS for a particular frame

While debugging everything works properly if I'm testing that frame.But, pushing a button in another frame, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at "frame number:raw number"
I'm quite sure that the problem is that the variable e.Join changes its corresponding e.Value pushing a particular button in another frame (as must be). Any ideas how to link that information to the frame that create the error?
I'm incorporating Flash for the first in my site [URL] it should a simple navigation but it has had me stuck for a while. I would like users to click any button on the stage (listed or thumbnails) and open a MC, then close the MC, using a close button , then return to Scene One, which is frame labeled "home".
I am able to successfully open and close the Movieclip but I am not directed back Scene One. When the MC closes, the thumbnail buttons are inactive.
Here is some sample code from The last frame of the MC actions.
stop();
closeVogue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickVogue);
function onClickVogue(event:MouseEvent):void
{ gotoAndStop("home");

Is it possible to link to a specific part of my flash movie from an html page. Is there any way to link to a frame number or label? The site is html based, but the intro/home page is flash. I don't want users to have to see the intro every time they go back to the home page from somewhere else within the site. Is there something that I can append to my link on my html page to make it go to a specific frame in the swf?

I know the first line isn't going to work, but just wondering if someone knew of a code that would?

I have a mock up fla file showing what i am trying to attempt. I have a button nested in a movie clip on the second frame on main timeline called PageBackBtn. I am trying to get this button to target a label within a movieclip on the first frame of the main timeline. The label also is called PageBackBtn within the movieclip on frame one.

View 1 RepliesSo I've got problem with some drawing objects inside movieclip in my flash file... Setting width and height of flash to match browser's w&h got my movie clip to get correct values, but unfortunately drawing objects inside of it are not scaled as movieclip. Those object are just random stripes that got some tween on it acting as somekind of preloader... All graphics are pulled from ai file, so no AS was used to manipulate them, just pure tweening in design mode...So if my stage w & h are lets say 720 x 50, graphics inside movieclip are 1600 x 900 which match my monitor's resolution.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to reference objects on the stage in the current frame from a document class in Actionscript 3 in Flash CS3. In this example, I'm trying to get at a dynamic text field with the instance name "question_txt", but there are also buttons and other things I'll need to get at to put event listeners on and such.
I have "Automatically Declare Stage Instances" checked in the publish settings, so the references should be there -- in fact, if I try to declare them in the class, I get errors about a conflict with the name -- but when I try to reference these objects (in any of several ways I've now tried!) I always get Null.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;

I'm trying to reference a specific frame inside a MC in my .swf file from an .as file.What I want is to capture the current frame of the movie clip for the .as file. It's for the purpose of points when you shoot each plane. It's an easy trick of frame 1's plane would be worth 100 points, frame 2's plane 200 points, etc.I thought I'd write a line like this in my collision detection section of my .as file.
Code:
planePoints = currentFrame * 100;
The only problem is, of course, it grabs the current frame of the main .swf timeline that my flash file uses, and not the movieclip that's being called to produce the planes.So I thought I'd be able to specify a path to the movie clip (in this case it's called Airplane in the MC's linkage properties)
Code:
planePoints = Airplane.currentFrame * 100;
Then, of course, it freaks out and says that 'access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.'
I still get confused with AS3 and the way items are handled vs AS2. I've lost track of how many times I type _root.
This is my code in Flash/AS3, in a frame's action:
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{
[Code]....
This is because I believe it is referring the splashTimer1 function by "this".
How can I refer to parent frame there, so that I can remove its event listener.
I'm working on a project where I have 10 movieclips on the stage, each with a different instance name. I'd like to use a random number generator to play each one at random, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've been looking for the topic online but all I can find is loading them randomly to the stage... my movie clips are already on the stage. I want them to stay on the stage but only play when called upon* EDIT:ere's what I have. Super simple but I'm a little lost I guess.At the moment I'm referencing a function when I should be referencing a variable but I'm still not sure how to fix it.
function randomMC(low:Number=1, high:Number=10):Number
{
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1+high-low)) + low;

How to target a label within a movie clip on the main timeline, from a button within another movieclip on the maintimeline.
View 0 RepliesI need to create an array inside a movieclip, so:
var Container:MovieClip = new Movieclip;
Then how do I make an array inside of the that movieclip. I've tried
Container.mCONTENT:Array = [];
But I get "Label must be a simple identifier"
I have a MovieClip created, and the second Frame has a label ("tree0001" for any who care). I'm wondering how I can retrieve the name of this label by asking which frame in the movieclip is loaded (which would be frame #2) and then getting that Frame Label.
