Flash :: Pre-loader And Nested Movie Clip?

Mar 5, 2012

I'm using a simple pre-loader which loads a nested MovieClip. Now I'm trying to use it on another project were the nested is a simple photo gallery were users can click on prev or next slides this works fine until adding the pre-loader if I just use a nest MovieClip with no user control it works as soon as I add a button to frame 2 it throws this error:

1046: Type was not found or was not compile-time constant: Textline.

Trying to get the pre-loader to start and then users click on a button to continue with the program

Code for pre loader

function loadProgress(my_content:ProgressEvent):void
{
var percent:Number = Math.floor((my_content.bytesLoaded * 100) /my_content.bytesTotal);[code]......

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clip On Main Timeline Receiving Input From Nested Movie Clip

Feb 23, 2011

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Instances From Movie Clips If The Movie Clip Referencing From Is Nested?

Mar 23, 2010

It's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

Nested Movie Clip Not Playing?

Aug 14, 2009

I have a movie clip (that includes a preloader and video elerments) that I created and made a .swf file from which I then imported in my main movie. I then place this .swf file (which is listed as a movie clip symbol in the library) onto the main timeline. I put an action to stop the main timeline at the frame where the nested movie is placed and expected to start. When previewing the movie, the nested movie doesn't play. I see the preloader (in scene 1 of the nested movie)  appears for a second but the movie doesn't play.
 
Any specific action command needs to be define to make the nested movie play?

Create Nested Movie Clip

i am new to flash, i have cs4.i created a 3 second flash animation of a logo.i would like to export that into other flash projects, so that those projects will play the logo first.so what is the best and most efficient way to do that?i have tried to export the logo.fla file as a movie clip or swf file but importing it into a new flash project is a bit weird, like it doesn't come in as a single symbol, but as all of the components that make up the original animation.i have watched many tutorials on nested timelines, but i can not find one on creating a mulitlayered movie clip in a separate fla file and then importing that as a single symbol into a new project fla.

I have some movie clips nested and at some point one on the left side should call one on the right side and it's not working and I'm pulling my hair, and I'm opening this thread for therapeutic purposes, I'm so angry I can't see straight
 
one frame in the left MC calls this

_root.pages_mc.cpr_mc.charr_mc.right_mc.gotoAndPlay("Sidney");
 
and it doesn't work and I don't know why, as I have a root who has a frame with a pages_mc that has a frame with cpr_mc that has a frame with charr_mc that has a frame with right_mc and there is a label 'Sidney'well, that's all. I don't even know flash very well, but looks to me that logically I'm doing it right, but flashly I'm doing it wrong...

IDE :: N00b Stopping A Nested Movie Clip?

Sep 27, 2009

Quite simply, I'm trying to loop a movieclip for 15 seconds then stop without having to keep re-animating the movieclip's content. I have a stop action on the main stage, but it only targets animation happening on the stage, and not the movie clip in question. The movie clip is on its own layer on the main stage and I have extended its duration to 360 frames (15 seconds at 24fps), knowing full well that a movieclip will loop indefinitely unless otherwise commanded. It will stop if I put a stop action on a layer inside the movieclip's timeline, but the animation itself is only 1 second, so extending the timeline and redoing the animation for 15 seconds would defeat the time saving point of having a looping movieclip on the stage in the first place.

This is Flash 101, and I thought I knew how to do this properly, but I was proven wrong again and again this past weekend.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Instances Of Nested Movie Clip?

Feb 12, 2009

I have a movie clip 'sliderMc' which contains two other clips 'slider' and 'groove'. I've used actionscript to make the 'slider' clip move along the 'groove' and display the value of the at each point in a text field. The idea is to have a slider object that i can use multiple times. I want a situation whereby I can create instances of 'sliderMc' so that I'll be able to move the slider on the individual clips and have each slider update different variables which would then be sent to an XML file or php. Im able tp talk back and forth between php and xml with no problem; The issue I'm facing is that after creating multiple instances of 'sliderMc', I'm not able to give the 'slider' and 'groove' movie clips different instance names without changing the instance names of all other 'slider' and 'groove' instances of 'sliderMc'. Which in turn makes it difficult to distinguish between the different sliders in actionscript.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Seem To Get Nested Movie Clip Actions To Work?

Apr 30, 2011

I am making an interactive map of the US.When you hover over a state it zooms in and cities pop up.When you click the city it should a page, for now just google.I have the basics for the first state, California.The zoom works and the cities pop_up.However, when you click the city the link doesn't work. The cities are instances of a movie clip, city.I placed them inside the CA movie clip in their approx locations and named them SF_mc, LA_mc, SD_mc respectively.Here is the code.i added some comments.the FLA is attached in zip as well.It is CS5 file but I'm more familar with AS2 so yea.This is the first frame of the CA movie clip, actions layer

Code:
stop();
/this is all zoom stuff
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code].......

In the first frame the cities are not on the stage yet. They are add later when the state is zoomed. SO i thought maybe that is why it not working so i tried duplicating the code on the frame after the zoom where i add the cities and it is still not working...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested Movie Clip Event Handlers?

Mar 29, 2007

After figuring out that removeMovieClip won't work on objects with negative depth numbers, I've run into another stumbling block in some menu generation code I'm working on.For the most part, my menu code is complete, and functional. However I've been trying to clean up some of the display methods to make it a nicer and smoother interface.

When you rollover a menu item, a submenu appears. This submenu consists of a number of items. Let's pretend we have this MAIN MENU > SUBMENU > ITEM 1, ITEM2, ITEM 3.ITEM 1, ITEM2, and ITEM 3 are nested in SUBMENU. For example, the full path for ITEM 1 is _level0.mainmenu.submenu.item1.

SUBMENU itself consists of a background object and the item objects. The items all have event handlers assigned to them. onRollOver highlights a selection, onRollOut unhighlights the selection, onRelease jumps to the appropriate Movie Clip.

What I would like to do is assign an onRollOut event to SUBMENU that collapses the menu on a mouse roll out event. It works, however, when I do this, the event handlers of the nested ITEMs become nonfunctional. Is it not possible for parent and child movie clips to both have onRollOut events assigned to them? Or is there something else I'm missing?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Functions From Inside A Nested Movie Clip?

Aug 11, 2009

I have my function on frame 1

Code:
function backhome(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.gotoAndPlay("mapbegin");

At frame 10, I have a movie clip that animates and stops. Inside of that movie clip is a button that I want to go back to frame 2 when someone clicks on it. I want to be able to click on that button and call the function above.

panamacitybeach.returntomap1.addEventListener(Mous eEvent.CLICK, backhome);

When I put that code on the movie clip keyframe on the root timeline, I get this error.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at intmap_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

The addEventListener is laying on the keyframe in which the movie clip is. Why can't I call that function later on where the movie clip shows up?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Context Menu Difficulties On Nested Movie Clip

Nov 7, 2011

I have been having some difficulties with custom context menus with CS5.5 and AS3. I have this working in 2 places: - The FLA file which I use to develop this in (I work within an FLA, but distill everything down to an AS3 based Sprite which can be instantiated via code provided the various symbols are in the library) - In an test harness. (I ensure that the Sprite can be instantiated through pure Actionscript)

The custom context menu works perfectly in both the above scenarios. However, in my main application (which is a good deal more complicated than my test harness) I see the default context menu. All other mouse events on my nested clip work perfectly.

Is there some limitation with the Context menu in AS3? My code looks fine. It pretty much corresponds to the vast majority of Context menu implementations - so feel like there is something I am missing from the bigger picture.
