Nested movie meets with the main timeline?

• embedded symbol communicate with the main timeline.

  Hi all

  I create a survey with say 7 questions.  each question has the same MovieClip symbol each with a different instance name, as q1, q2,... q7.

  the MovieClip symbol has 5 texts static and 5 SimpleButtons.  I have a code in the symbol to ensure that only one button has the 'on' or 'verified' status to show that this one is chosen.  It works very well.

  My question is, how to communicate the choice of each user with the main timeline after the user clicks on the button "submit"?  or, how can I get the code in the mousedown event 'submit' that can iterate through the 7 symbols to interview each of them and see which of the 5 SimpleButtons is 'controlled' or 'on '.  this iteration then creates a list of answers to questions 7.

  in the end, I'll have flash concatenate a string GET POST that will send the results of the survey on a web server.

  I am using / learning AS3 in flash cs4 and I know I'm a bit new to these concepts.  Thank you in advance and if you could point me to a video tutorial that will support your advice, it would be useful also.  Happy new year.

  assign a variable (say checkedBtn) that stores a value indicating which button is checked in each or your 7 movieclips.

  so if all 7 movieclips are at the point where you click on the submit button you can browse your 7 movieclips using:

  for (var i: uint = 1; i<>

  This ["q" + i] .checkedbtn attribute this to your url variables or create your concatenated string

• Movie Clip on the main timeline to control

  I have a button in a mc and I want that he plays on the main timeline, it does, however, when it gets to the last specified image I want to go to another frame.
  Here's my actionscript I was that day.
  on (release) {}
  _root.gotoAndPlay (75);
  }
  Basically I want all my buttons to play 75 weft, however after each button corresponds to a different image that I need to go to play. 75 frame is essentially a transition to other pages. Each page has the same transition. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

  Well, I have a layer called actionscript, which is for my codes. Where you found other ActionScript where I don't know. But thanks for all your help. Whatever it is, problem solved.

• noob question AS3 extremely - by using a with the main timeline *.as file

  I'm in the middle of adding a performance monitor to a mobile app that has yet not actionscript, I just want to test the performance of animations

  https://raw.github.com/mrdoob/Hi-ReS-Stats/master/src/net/hires/debug/ Stats.as which is the stats.as file I have in my root with the .fla file

  I removed the folder "net.hires.debug" from the stats.as file location

  What should I type to load the .as file

  It is said to use the addchild function, I am new to as3 and I'm a bit confused with the classes

  now my first layer actions frame, it is said

• in actionscript 3.0 how do a nested movie clip button go to a section on the main timeline

  I do a site based in flash actionscript 3.0, I have a button nested in its own clip, because I have the button bigger to be able to read what I realized the only way to do it is by creating it as a film clipa nd inside the clip in a button

  I've added an event listener for the button of blog, saying:

  blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, gotoblog);

  function gotoblog(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

  gotoAndStop (2)

  }

  This part of the code it goes to 2nd part of the scenario that it is and stop wich is a version of the origanal symbol breath

  I added a second order on structure 2

  blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK.gotoblogpage);

  function gotoblogpage(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

  gotoAndStop ("blogframe")

  trace ("the blog button has been clicked")

  }

  I have named the blog of symbol and use the name from where will the blog page to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where I run trouble the window output in Flash says "blog button has been clicked" I like it. no errors are accouring why that which is at the playhead does not attend the image "blogframe"? If the button does not work when I click on it the code is correct, I think the problem here is he does not want the read head go to the section I want it. So I gues, my question is, how can we make a button less, a clip interact with the main timeline?

  One way to do this is to target the root timeline...

  MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("blogframe");

• Targeting the main timeline of in a MC

  Hello all, I have this project that basically works like a slide show. I'm doing things common sense and avoid scenes so I am building each slide as a separate and then mc placing them on the main timeline. What I'm trying to do is get the playhead to move forward on the main timeline to the next image once the mc reached its last picture. I found code that works, but it looks pretty ghetto:

  var _root:MovieClip = MovieClip (root)

  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, Text2);
  function Text2 (myevent:Event): void {}
  _root.gotoAndStop ("slide2");
  }

  I guess I have two questions:

  1. What is the right way to target a frame on the main timeline of in a mc in as3?

  2. the way I do build does make sense, or is there a better solution?

  Thanks for reading!

  This code is an accident waiting to happen.  An ENTER_FRAME event is raised repeatedly, at the rate of the file.  This does not mean that it looks like... such As... When something enters a ' framework' everything you need instead of this code is to put the following line in the last image of the mc...

  MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("slide2");

  Since you asked on 'clean'... children should not talk back to their parents and tell them what to do.  The good news is that they should be independent and care only for doing what they do. It is the parent to keep an eye on the kids if they are so trend.  The only thing they should do is to know when they are made to the world the fact.  This is done by sending an event.

  If what you're doing are implemented the child to dispatch an event to indicate that they are doing what they are doing (in the last image in your case).

  dispatchEvent (new Event ("imDone"));

  and set up a listener for this child object in the parent of the parent timeline to listen to this event...

  childName.addEventListener ("imDone", eventHandler);

  function eventHandler(event:Event):void {}
  gotoAndStop ("slide2");
  }

• 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.

• Problem with Play Pause AS3 button on the main timeline

  I was wondering if someone can help with this? Have tried to create a play/pause for the main timeline button in my flash movie.

  Created a clip with 1 frame - a chart of the break, and then on the 2nd frame - game graphics, labeled 'pause' and executives 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip.

  Then put the following code in the layer actions on the main timeline (and gave the name of "ppBtn" instance of movieclip):

  var pp:Boolean = true;

  
  

  function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {}

  {if (pp)}

  Stop();

  event.target.gotoAndStop ('pause');

  pp = false;

  } else {}

  Play();

  event.target.gotoAndStop ('play');

  pp = true;

  }

  }

  ppBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, ppState);

  He works at the stopping and starting of the film but the real movieclip is not switch between the break and the game graphics (a few stays on the framework - 1st of 'pause' State). Any help in this very appreciated!

  Thank you

• Control the main timeline of a movie via a button in a movie on another level.

  Hello!
  I have two film is at two different levels.
  Level 5 is my base film and I load another movie on top of that in level 10.
  Once the user clicks on a button in the movie to level 10, I would like to animation to level 5 to stop (the animation runs on the chronology of the main root of level 5).
  
  Once the user clicks a different button in the movie to level 10, I would like the animation in the main timeline of the movie in level 5 again from the moment it was already stopped.
  Is this possible?
  
  It would be great if someone could help me with this.
  Thank you, midi_ie
  

  You can't delete this loop of onClipEvent (enterFrame) unless you remove the movieclip to which it is attached. However, you can add an else if statement in your code (in addition to checking the variable Boolean "drag") to check if your _level10 button has been activated.

  and you can delete a slider.onEnterFrame loop, but you probably don't want to do.

  p.s. make the loop enterFrame?

• 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.).

• return to the main timeline of the movie clip

  well on my main script, I have an intro, and then a main menu. in this menu, it goes to a clip, I want to create a "back to main menu" button inside the movieclip that will return a certain group in the main timeline.

  can someone help me in this encoding to use?

  see you soon

  What about the fact that you have a problem with?  Do you know how to code a button? If Yes, you can program the button in the main timeline so that all you have to do a gotoAndStop() command is used...  In the main scenario where there is the mc...

  yourMC.theMCButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMenu);

  function gotoMenu(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

  gotoAndStop (menuframe);

  }

• gotoAndPlay with a _mc on the main timeline

  Hello, this is my first post here. Thanks in advance for any help.

  I try to use a button on frame 1 to go to a clip that is located on chassis 1018 (I put the clip on the main timeline on chassis 1018)

  so hand (root) - > 1018-> shipattack_mc-> "endtest.

  I tried to use these commands and some variants of the same thing.

  _parent

  This.

  shipattack.gotoAndPlay('endtest")

  gotoAndPlay ("endtest")

  My main storyline ends at 1018 with a stop() and movieclip 'shipattack_mc' plays his frames 1000 or more.

  I test things towards the end of the shipattack, and a button to jump to the end thank you.

  Thanks for the quick reply, it works perfectly. Odd that my flash instructor could not understand however.

  Is this an official forum? It seems that you answer most of the questions... I was under the impression that it was members of the community at random who contributed. I'm a little reluctant to repost futher questions.

  skip_btn.onRelease = function()

  {

  stopAllSounds();

  _root.sevenclans1.start (60.0);

  trace("shipattack_mc").shipattack_mc;

  _root.gotoAndStop ("end");

  shipattack_mc.gotoAndPlay (800);

  };

• Communication with the main movie off external class

  Hello

  Hello, after recognizing that all my problems are as a result of the problem, I just start with AS3, having a litte experience with AS2 and common OOP. So, I try to understand the concept of AS3 on this level.

  My problems are mainly in the defined direction how outwardly objects communicate with the main movie.

  For example:

  (1) can I call a DisplayObject instance out of an external class, if this DisplayObject is defined and added to the display list in the MainMovie?

  2) can MovieClipObjects instance within a table, which works like an instance variable? I think that will cause trouble in the cascade of display list:

  {should be corner braces: class.} MovieClips {i} = new MovieClip();    -> root.class.MovieClips {1} Point separates it levels in the display list, but also object and attribute.

  Thank you

  the debugger does not recognize this error message?

  and if you want to clear the memory occupied by mc when you use:

  var a: Array = [];

  var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

  a [0] = mc;

  use:

  If it was added, remove the mc of the displaylist.  remove all listeners and other references if there is.

  a [0] = null;  or a.shift (), if you do not have null in an array element.  Use a.splice (i, 1), if you used a [i] = mc;

  MC = null;

• 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);

• Control the main timeline and chronology of built-in movie clip

  Good afternoon folks,

  I am trying to solve this problem.  I have a main scenario with an animation. (animation is not a clip).  I also have a clip film embedded in the main timeline. I want to control the actions of the main timeline AND the embedded animation at the same time.

  For example, when a user clicks on a button "pause", I want to stop the animation of the main timeline as well as the integrated clip. I figured out how to stop the main timeline using the stop(); command.  I also understood how to stop the film incorporated using the command _root.embeddedclipinstancename.stop ();  Problem is that I don't know the commands to stop the two things at the same time.

  I tried to find that an instance name for the main timeline, but there is no (I think). I know I could do the animation in the timeline in a clip, but I don't want to go that route.  Any ideas on how to control two things?
  Also, if possible, I would prefer not to use the _root command since I know that this can cause a conflict in Captivate.

  Thank you.

  Include the two commands that worked in your pause button code.  If your [ause button is on the main timeline, you don't need to use a reference of _root.  It is only really useful if you target some of child level object distance back to the main timeline.  You can _parent (and string them if necessary) instead of using _root.  As you will get in trouble unless you're on the _root timeline when using it.
