I have a movice clip of a container "traveling" down a conveyor belt. I duplicate this movie 30 times (to simulate 30 items moving down the line). The code I'm trying is below.My problem. When the 2 duplicate clip item is created - I want to pause the duplication, (stopping items on the conveyor belt) play a movie clip (next to second item to explain what has happened), then continue duplication, stop duplication again at eighth item, (do similar to #2) play another movie clip - then continue all duplication until I hit 30. At which point they all start falling off the conveyor belt.
// NOTE, this is a movie clip, not on the main timeline...so all control needs to happen in this movie clip's timeline
delay = 1
count = 0
i = 0
I want to have a button that pauses the flash movie. When clicked, the flash movie stops and another animation plays.Specifically Im making a flash movie about the evolution of geometry for my math class. Animations are going to be playing, and when my teacher clicks the Info button, a screen pops down with the related information about the scene playing.
I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:
The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.
I have this code to use to pause animations in different areas of a .fla, for each pause I have been copying this and changing the "var timelinePause" and other items as shown after the original code, is repeating this code for each pause just junk code? is there something else from this that I can use to pause?
This is a "is it possible question". I have a series of buttons that navigate within this flash file. Although the entire project has a screen movie clip on a seperate layer over top of everything. This screen contains rollover event listeners that change depending on where you move the mouse. Is it possible to have the mouse pass through the first movie clip and control the button underneath as well as the rollover event listener on top?
I have the following functions that fade a movie clip in and out Code: fadeAmount = 1; function fadeIn() { this._alpha += fadeAmount; if (this._alpha>=100) { this._alpha = 100; this.onEnterFrame = null; [Code] .....
And then I call the movie clip to start fading in and appear on stage Code: contentMC._alpha = 0; contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
What I need is some way to tell the movie "after you reach alpha 100, stay there for x seconds and then fade out" and execute this code: Code: contentMC._alpha = 100; contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;Aafter it reaches alpha = 0 it should stop and stay there without looping back and starting to fade in again.
and none of them work. The function is "onpauseButton" and it is inside of "content" which is inside of "scrollb" which is inside of "datalist." I'm trying to call it from datalist's neighboring movie clip so that it activates along with another function:
manualButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadFile_1); function fl_ClickToLoadFile_1(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest("M-23 6263.pdf"), "_blank");// want to add the onpauseButton code here }
I recall that there is a way to do it, I just can't find the right sequence. Everything online is about how to call up to a function outside of the movie clip and not down to a function inside of one.
i have about 40 buttons in one movie clip called showmcall i have a massive movie clip that covers all of the movie clips , i've tried disabling the buttons by disabling the movie clip :
Does anyone one know if it is possible to call a function from a different movie clip than the one it is in. For example, a function named loadData() which is on the first frame of a movie clip instance named thumbNail which is on level 0 on the stage i was thinking that it should work to call the function from frame one on the stage with..
i got this scramble text effect at this siteand when u rollover the text it does the scramble text effect i wanted to know if u can also put a on release function and have it load an swf into and empty movie clip
I have 3 different functions for my preloader. I have an Event.OPEN, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, and an Event.COMPLETE. In the event.OPEN function, I create a new variable that is data typed to the class name of my preloader that I set in it's property dialogue box. This is just a simple circle animation.[code]...
I've an empty array and some global variables, and I have two movie clips in my library: one is a trigger, second is the movie clip that is placed on the stage when the trigger is activated (a testdummy, if you want).
var dummies:Array = []; var i:int = 300; var j:int = 500; var k:int = 0;
[Code].....
...I get an obvious error : Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 66 1120: Access of undefined property dummy. Because dummies are created within a function. I don't have any trouble addressing items in the 'dummies' array though.
Though dummies are crated by the same pattern, data stored in them is the whole point of creating the application.
how can I apply a function to each of those dummies, which is executed on click and affects only one dummy?
I am trying to remove a child movie clip in a function, the movieclip was added in another function The code is below,
function navigate(evt:MouseEvent):void { clip_holder.removeChild(mc_holder); var mc_holder:MovieClip = new section2(); clip_holder.addChild(mc_holder); }
Suppose I have three different movie clips. mc_A, mc_B, mc_C I want to have a rollover call a function that changes each movie clip. But I don't want to type it out like this:
Above you will see that I used this, it made sense to me, but this always refers to the main timeline (root in my case). So how do I pass the name of hte clip I am rolling over to a function?
However, with this setup the function hit() is called automatically every time I publish the movie. What's wrong with this? What's the difference between mc.onRelease = function; and mc.onRelease = function()?
Ok I have created a function that tweens a box on to the stage and this function is attached to every btn on stage. What i can figure out is how to create a function to get it to go to a frame the movie clip that comes in. I have attached the fla and when you go to the main stage you will see a blk box off stage in that box in where i want when someone clicks the button it goes to a specific frame label.
i'm trying to remove a function from a movieclip, is there a way of doing this, so I keep the movieclip on stage but removes the onPress etc? I'd also want to be able to reapply that function the movieclip later.
I have a child movie clip attached to the parent via the flash interface. The child is running a timer via code on its (the child's) timeline. When the timer finishes it needs to trigger a function on the parent's timeline. All the examples show how to trigger a function on the child - that is easy and I have got that working.
error in my movie clip. The code is working just fine. The effects are just what I needed. I have a set of 24 buttons, executing 24 URLs when clicked. buttons are responding on rollover, onRollout and onRelease states.But the problem is when I click the butoons randomly and very fast, multiple buttons remins in onRelease state (as if more than one button has been selected). I do not undetastand wheather this a problem with my coding or problem with my settinf in flash or a bug in flash itself (i'm too small to detect a bug in flash though!!). My setting are: actionscript 1. fps 30.
I created an array with movie clips now how can i target one movie clip with event handler function . so that when i clicked on one movie clip a message should be displayed
This has been bugging me for a couple days now and I can't seem to figure it out. I'm passing a string variable as a parameter in a function and want to convert that variable to a movieclip. I thought I had the proper syntax but the trace keeps returning null. I've dumbbed down the function for simplicity's sake.
I have a timer which times how long the game takes and I made a highscore function: if highscore < timer - newhighscore(); This all works fine. My problem is that I want to have the words "Your highscore" flash up on the screen if a highscore has been acheived or to just stay still if a highscore has not been achieved.
ActionScript Code: private function getScore() { trace(timer);
[code]...
I have text on my game over screen saying "Your highscore:" I exported them to a movieclip where they turn red and get bigger, the smaller. Frame 1 is plain stop(); Frame 2 to the last frame and the animation Last frame gotoAndPlay(2); These words will normally be plain but I want to be able to, from the newhighscore() function, play the animation for the MovieClip.
