• Is it possible to get a reference to the main timeline in an external class?

  Hello
  After spending over 2 hours on google on how to access the pit of the main timeline an external class
  I have not found any solution.
  
  Anyone know how to the main script in an external class to access?
  And you can see a movieclip (the name of the instance) of a clip that is drawn on the scene and not
  place dynamically with addChild in an external class?
  
  I hope to hear from anyone.
  

  I discovered a solution. Don't know if it's good, but it works for me.

  What you have to do is on your movie fla on any keyframe:
  Hello from the var: YourExternalClass = new YourExternalClass ();
  hello.someFunction (this);

  and in your external class, make a public service:

  public void someFunction (mainTimeLine): void {}
  trace (mainTimeLine);
  mainTimeLine.getChildByName("instancenameofyourmovieclip").alpha =. 5;
  mainTimeLine.getChildByName("instancenameofyourmovieclip").rotation = 30;
  }

  See you soon!

• How to target button in movieclip on the main timeline

  Hello!
  
  I have a few buttons of submenu in a movieclip in the mainline. My first level of navigation in the main timeline. The submenus are grouped into movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the navigation sub except the code for the submenus is located in this movie clip. My instruction trace bed button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know that I need some kind of code _parent in there so that he knows to go to the label back on the main timeline. Can anyone help? I feel like I'm so close.

  Also is this a correct way to set-up? I couldn't figure out how do it in an image. Any help would be so appreciated. I didn't know that this basic framework would be so difficult.

  Here is the link:

  Here is my code which is on the movieclip submenu:
  

  Code:

  stop();
  
  fall.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
  spring.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
  
  function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent){
       //trace shows what's happening... in the output window
       trace ("The "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!")
       //go to the section clicked on...
       gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
  }

  One of the reasons that I never won any price for my vision of the design are because I am often... If it works, use it.  There are many ways to approach a design and yours is very good if you understand.  If she was going to smash something, it would have happened now.  Some people don't go to the extreme of having absolutely no code in a file, some even no content library, he wrote everything in files and class not by necessity, but to simply believe that it is the best way, or a challenge to prove their skills...  They have the it.  He participates a practicality with design that allows to make Judgment calls and if you feel that your approach to design is convenient for what you understand or which meets the needs of the project, then you have the right to follow your own path.

  That said... in the case where a person must inherit from your work somewhere down the road, that's when your approach can be victim of judgment... If someone can not follow, either found it difficult to put all the pieces together, or find them, then you become the contact person for the moans fall that follows.  But you're not likely to have to hear about it.  Yet, one day, if you are in a position where you inherit a person guestroom... and start whining about how they did it, you will come to appreciate the reasons to consider how approach you your designs.

• How to call a function within a movieclip on the main timeline in CC animate canvas?

  Hello world...

  In AS3: Function (fnc name: myFunction) inside a Movieclip (mc1). I'll call you timeline mc1.myFunction ();

  But how to call AnimateCC canvas?

  If you have an instance of MovieClip named "mc" with the following code in to:

  This.Fun = function() {}

  Alert ("Hey!");

  }

  You can call this function (increased to 'this' within the MC) using the oon following the main timeline:

  var root = this;

  this.mc.addEventListener ("click", function() {}

  Console.log (root.mc.fun ());

  });

• How can I access a variable on the main timeline of a movie nested in HTML5 Canvas

  Hello

  This should be pretty simple, but for some reason, it does not work if I have the wrong syntax.

  But I have a movie clip with a bit of code in it.

  It is a timer.

  I want to be able to program the wait time: since the main scenario and that the timer read this variable on the main timeline.

  I implemented the delay var = 1000 on the main timeline, but then I do not seem able or knows how to get this variable in my code in the nested MC. It is quite difficult to find the reference of the paradigm flash timelines on H5 support pages, so I really appreciate the help.

  tl2 var = this;

  TL2. Stop();

  var delay = delayMain;

  var startTime is createjs. Ticker.getTime ();

  createjs. Ticker.addEventListener ("tick", f);

  {function equation

  If (createjs. Ticker.getTime () - startTime > delay) {}

  TL2. Play();

  createjs. Ticker.removeEventListener ("tick", f);

  }

  }

  If you want to get to a variable defined by a feature any at any depth, you can use the window. As:

  Window.Delay = value;

  in a deeply buried movieclip, can be read in any other level of the project.

• Goto frame within a movieclip on the main timeline button

  So what I have is a button (then named) on the main timeline. I have a clip on this framework (on the main timeline) and the clip has 3 images I want to be able to scroll using the "Next" button located on the main timeline. How can I do this?

  Thank you

  assign the movieclip an instance name (in the properties panel - for example, mc) and use:

  Next.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, f);

  function f(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  mc.nextFrame ();

  }

• Button on the main timeline control movieclip

  Hello

  I have a stop in my main script. At the stop, I have a play of movieclip. In the movieclip, I'll have a video playback. After playing the video, I have a button for the user to continue playing until the end of the movieclip. Once the movieclip is done, I want back the return to a specific image in my main script.

  I can't figure out how to make this work. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  Paul

  How much of what you just described in currently working properly?

  If it's just the last step to have the game finished main scenario the movieclip, then you might have an event listener assigned to this movieclip in the main timeline.  When the movieclip ends it can send an event of this listener that can trigger an event handler function in the main timeline to tell the main scenario for continued as planned.

  Another less glamorous but more compact approach might be to have a drive inside / at the end of the movieclip to order the main scenario of an act using something like...

  MovieClip (parent) .gotoAndPlay (whatever);

• stop the main timeline in AS3

  I searched the forum and maybe to find relevant solutions, but I still don't understand. How to make simple "stop()", "play()" and check "currentFrame" on the main timeline of an AS3 class file?
  
  I have an animation of script for Flash AS2 older I'm conversion in AS3 and also import an AS3 swf into.
  
  Everything works fine, except that I had to remove the "stop()" on the main timeline (if the animation does not loop) and trying to do it from the main .as file in the document.
  
  I get an error when you try to access the "currentFrame" of the scene.
  
  HOW CAN I PUT A 'STOP' ON THE MAIN SCENARIO?
  
  - - - -
  
  

  If the banner is your document class, this means that your main timeline must have only 1 frame (because the banner extends Sprite) and this means that it is foolish to check currentFrame and it has no sense to goto any image.

  do you know what you do picking the Sprite class or do you really want banner to extend the MovieClip class?

• Close button in an interpolation that takes back you to the main timeline

  I have a HTML5 canvas document that has 5 separate click to open the motion tweens.  Within each tween, I have a "close" button that I want to return at the beginning of the main timeline.  Right now he's just at the beginning of the timeline to tween movement in an infinite loop.  How can I get to go back to the main scenario for each of the interpolations of?  (For reference, I am a beginner with Animate and JS code and have not been able to find this answer in my many searches on the web).

  you want that code in the main timeline to lead the scenario primary back to its first image and stop, or you want to code on the timeline of a movieclip lead the main timeline at its first image and stop or something else?

  If you want the code on the timeline of a movieclip to lead the main timeline, use:

  this.parent.gotoAndStop (0);  assuming that the parent of the movieclip is the main timeline.

• How to set a variable in the main timeline of in a symbol?

  Just get started with Animate and coming from Flash, it may be apparent to my question. How do you define a variable for the main timeline of in a symbol?

  I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and 24 of these symbols to sit inside another symbol. I want every 24 to set the global variable even when you click on it. I do not find that this question is anywhere, which makes me think that I can be stuck in a mentality from Flash and approaching the task in a bad way. (However, there are MANY discussions address showing how objects to different levels in the hierarchy.) Which is well covered).

  By the way, how to access a function on the main timeline of in a symbol?

  Adobe should consider putting on foot (or pages) support just for people migration form Flash. In the documents that I've met so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash somehow. I imagine that there are many people out there like me who have a deep background in coding Flash, but start with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we still have some pretty basic questions on how to achieve certain things in Animate because our knowledge of Flash gets in the way.

  Hi Bill,

  There are a lot of discussions here on the scope, but here's a way to create a global variable:

  code on Stage.compositionReady

  sym.myGlobalVar = 1;

  Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set this var as follows:

  sym.getComposition () .getStage () .myGlobalVar = 2;

  And here is a way to create a global function:

  code on Stage.compositionReady

  sym.myGlobalFunction = function() {}

  Console.log ('myGlobalFunction');

  }

  Then, anywhere in your project, you can call this function as follows:

  sym.getComposition () .getStage () .myGlobalFunction ();

• BTN in Movieclip custom back to the main timeline

  Hi all

  I have a btn in a Movieclip at some keyframe, the user is prompted to if they want to

  go back to make another selection of a category of choice (in the maintimeline)

  Like now, the code I have for the btn who jump you back to the main timeline is:

  on {(press)
  gotoAndStop (_root.stop (24));
  }

  _Root.stop (24) should be in quotes?

  That is to say. "_root.stop (24).

  Thanks in advance,

  Graeme

  Your code is not likely to work.  Try to use...

  on {(press)
  _root.gotoAndStop (24);
  }

• Recovery of file names on the main timeline in classes

  I have the following code on the main timeline. I have soundLoad_mc assigned to the SoundChgUrl class.

  soundLoad_mc.mp3URL = "climbing.mp3";
  soundLoad_mc.swfName = "journey.swf";

  The code below is from SoundChgUrl. The import of mp3URL works. That nomswf does not work - it, throw "1119: access nomswf property possibly not defined through a reference with static type classes: SoundChgUrl.» It's not logical for me.

  package classes
  {
  import flash.display.MovieClip;
  import flash.net.URLRequest;
  import flash.net.navigateToURL;
  import flash.events.Event;
  import flash.media.Sound;
  import flash.media.SoundChannel;
  
  SerializableAttribute public class SoundChgUrl extends MovieClip
  {
  public var _mp3URL:String;
  public var _swfName:String;

  private var sound: Sound = new Sound();
  private var channel: SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

  public void SoundChgUrl()
  {
  sound.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);
  }

  public function set mp3URL(value:String):void
  {

  channel = sound.play().
  channel.addEventListener (Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, changeURL);
  }

  private void changeURL(event:Event):void
  {
  Channel.Stop ();
  navigateToURL (_swfName, "_parent");
  channel.removeEventListener (Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, changeURL);
  }
  }
  }

  Click file/publish settings/flash and check "permit debugging".  Repeat the test.

  then copy and paste the full error message and highlight the line of code mentioned in the problematic error message.

• Communicate with the symbols of the main timeline

  Hi, I created a movieclip and exported to Actionscript. I have a few cases of the new symbol (class) on the main time line and I have a few

  The timeline class code. Im trying to communicate with an instance of movieclip that is in the main timeline, but for some reason im getting

  a mistake. the name of the movieclip instance is mcGalleryWin. im sure that the keyword root has worked for me before in a similar situation

  but for some reason, this is not not workin now...

  I tried to trace (root) of the class and I don't get the main timeline.

  Code:

  imageLdr.load (imageReq);
  imageLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, firstImageLoaded);
  function firstImageLoaded(event:Event) {}
  root.mcGalleryWin.addChild (imageLdr);
  }

  error:

  1119: access of property may be undefined mcGalleryWin through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

  Try:

  MovieClip (root).mcGalleryWin.addChild (imageLdr);

• Using CS4 Flach and action script 2.0 how to move a specific frame in the main timeline when a movie clip instance come at the end of his chronology?

  Using CS4 Flach and action script 2.0 how to move a specific frame in the main timeline when a movie clip instance come at the end of his chronology?

  code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:

  _root.gotoAndStop ('whatever_frame');  will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf.  in this case, you must use a relative path to the main timeline (for example, _parent or _parent._parent etc.).

• Go to a function on the main timeline of the timeline of the object

  Hello

  I have an object on the stage, MovieClip, with an animation inside.

  The animation is called from a class file.

  I would like to call for a function, addBubbles, when the animation of the MovieClip is completed.

  The function, addBubbles, is described in the main timeline, in the first picture.

  But I would like to call from inside this MovieClip, and write the code in the last image.

  How should I reference, so it would work?

  Both ways would be to use just...

  MovieClip (root) .addBubbles ();   OR MovieClip (parent) .addBubbles ();

  Another way would be to have the MovieClip to dispatch a custom event for which you have a listener assigned in the main timeline.  This listener in the main storyline would have an event handler function that calls the addBubbles function.
