• Recovery of file name in the plugin file format

  Hi all!

  I have trouble finding a way to retrieve the name of the desierd file in my experimental file format plugin. I used SimpleFormat as starting point and after that I tracked the datastructure of the file I'm supposed to write, all I can find is a handle to a write handle. Impasse to the extent where I coul see.

  The thing is, I need to manipulate the file from another process outside of photoshop, and to this effect, I need to communicate the name of the file the user registered on the plugin to use at a later date.

  It seems to me that the process of handeling file is designed to be opaque?

  Edit; Oh I forgot, it is on OS X...

  PIFormat.h version 11 (Photoshop CS4) adds this item to the record.

  UInt16 * finalSpec;

  /**< a="" utf16="" encoded="" string="" that="" contains="" the="" location="" of="" the="" final="" file.="" use="" this="" for="" reference="">

  This will give you the parent folder and the name of the final file.

  Reading and writing via the fileSpec2 @ref only and not this value. */

• Control loaded swf on the main timeline

  Hello

  I'm working on loading external swf files for ios. I am able to load swf files and assembled visible or invisible in different settings. I have trouble controlling the swf files loaded on the main timeline. Specifically, I would like to have a button on the main timeline, that when you click on will move a swf loaded to frame 1.

  Here is a code that loads a swf file:

  var myLoader1:Loader;

  var loaderContext1:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext (false null, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain),

  if(myLoader1 == null)

  {

  myLoader1 = new Loader();

  addChild (myLoader1);

  }

  myLoader1.load (new URLRequest("folder/file1.swf"), loaderContext1);

  myLoader1.visible = true;

  backbutton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, backbutton1);

  function backbutton1(myEvent:MouseEvent):void {? myLoader1.gotoAndStop (1) ;}}  (this line does not work)

  (Once I load file1.swf, in the file1.swf I click a next button to move on to different periods.) My question is: hHow do I code the "backbutton" on the main timeline so that it causes the file1.swf to go to frame 1?)

  Thank you for your help.

  After loading is complete (and assuming that you load an as3 swf), you can use:

  MovieClip (myLoader1.content) .gotoAndStop (1);

• 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.

• referencing the main timeline from a loaded swf file

  I just poked around google as both of these forums, but the only answer I see that was a success, is kglad, and for some reason that its messages are not, I just see ":" and then the guy say thank you! Not uber useful.

  In any case, I'm just trying to understand how to reference an image tag on my main timeline to a swf loaded (through my imageLoader). Does anyone have a link or can tell me what I should look for in? dispatchers of the event?

  to reference the main timeline of the SWF loading from the main timeline of the swf file that is loaded, use:

  MovieClip (this.parent.parent)

• Access a MovieClip in the main timeline of an external class

  Hello

  
  

  I've been struggling with the same question for a few days now, and I don't know it can be easily solved - I have just found a way that works for my case

  
  

  Basically I have a series of clips on the main timeline, the name "S1B1' to 'S5B8' as a result. I would like to add to a table in a separate category called "BeatArray".

  
  

  For the moment, I found no referencing the MovieClips from the separate class file that works, and I tried many different methods (including adding MovieClip (root). before each one and various other things).

  It's probably worth noting that the external class has already extends MovieClip.
  

  
  

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  
  

  See you soon

  When you instantiate the outer class passes a reference to the main timeline and assign it within the class and use it in your targeting.

• 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 ());

  });

• 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.

• 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 ();

  }

• 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");
  }

• 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

• Playing several clips video one after the other on the main timeline

  Excuse the probably simple question but I'm just starting with Flash.

  I imported a few trailers directly in flash and saved as video clips.

  I want to be able to insert these clips on the main timeline and play one after the other, by repeating once they all played.

  In the main timeline, I put one layer for each clip and a keyframe where the clip is inserted for each layer.

  When I go to play the flash file, is to show the first frame of each movie file and before the first frame of the next movie file.

  What should I do to make the entire movie file flash game in this specific context before moving on to the next section where is the following file in the sequence, then to play all this film?

  Sorry for what is probably a simple thing to ask.

  Thank you

  Create a new layer actions on the timeline stop() and the main square. commands on this layer in each frame where resides a movieclip.

  In each clip, at the end (last image) you mean the main timeline to play(); While it moves to the next section (where it stops because of the stop() commands you add).

  If at the end of each movieclip you put either:

  AS2: _parent.nextFrame ();

  for AS3: MovieClip (parent) .nextFrame ();

  For the last movieclip in programming, you will replace nextFrame() by gotoAndStop (1);
