Controlling A Movie Clip From A Button Inside Another Movie Clip.
I'm confusing myself just typing this.
I'm working on an interactive map. The map itself is a MC inside a container, but also contains all the buttons as well. On my main stage(scene 1 and menu) is a window(MC) that will show info and photo of building. Now if I create a button on the main stage I can control the movieclip(images) easily. But when I use a button from inside map(MC) it doesn't seem to recognize the (images.gotoAndStop(frame))command.
I'm just not sure what to put in order to be able to control the MC's timeline from within that map movieclip.
Sorry if this is confusing. Of course at the same time it might be a simple solution for most people here as well. At least that is what I'm hoping anyways.

Controlling A Movie Clip Inside A Button

Button Inside A Movie Clip Controlling The Main Scene?
Hi, I have a button inside a movie symbol that is on the main scene.
When it is clicked I want to move to a certain frame on the main scene.
I have double clicked on the movie symbol and attached this script to the button:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("this._parent") {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
}
but it doesnt do anything.
What is wrong?
Thanks.
A Button Inside A Movie Clip, Within A Movie Clip, Calling Another Scene:
Is it even possible?
I have been trying to do it for the last few days for a site I am working on.
I have done searches in many forums and it's foolish looking for an answer that way, because quite frankly every thread I opened was something to do with LoadMovie or GetURL, etc.
What I have right now is on the button in my Menu Bar Movie Clip:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(285);
}
Which plays a fancy little animation in the movie clip and then on the last frame of that movie clip I had:
gotoAndPlay("Contact", 1);
Which is the Scene for the "Contact Us" Scene named "Contact"
One would think that it would load up the scene and play at frame 1, however all that happens is it reloads the movie clip of the "Menu Bar" at frame 1 and starts over, not even realizing what I asked.
Anyways, I figured there's a script or something that tells it to look outside of the movie clip or to the _Root, or whatever.
If someone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry I have no example to show, since I have yet to upload it. (It's my company's web site, and I don't think customers would want to see some half-arsed web site that's not complete.
Thanks in advance.
Control Movie Clip In Container From Button Inside Other Movie Clip
There are three movie clips involved in this question.
1. A main movie clip that has a target empty movie clip where an external swf loads.
2. A menu movie clip that is built from button symbols and has its own timeline.
3. The external movie.
When a user clicks on the menu, the external swf loads into the empty movie clip target. This part works fine. Here's the code:
on (release) {
loadMovie ("Lesson1.swf", "_root.container");
}
I want to use one external swf for all lesson, versus 20 external swfs. The problem I'm having is controling at what frame the external swf loads. I've tried adding --gotoAndStop (15) -- for example. I've also tried adding, gotoAndStop "_root.container" (15), but that doesn't work either. The gotoAndStop action ends up controlling the menu movie clip timeline instead of the movie loaded into the container. I figure this is because the menu mc has "embedded" buttons and it's own timeline.
Any help you can offer will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Creating A Button To Open A Movie Clip From Inside A Movie Clip?
I'm using a hexagon menu to display some images. One image is placed on each slide of the hexagon menu (which can then be rotated left and right to see other "slides").
What I want to do now is to be able to click on the object (image) as a button and for it to go to another scene which shows the image blown up and some description next to it (which is another movie)
I have tried the following which doesn't seem to work:
Created an invisible button (or choosing the image as a button) and having
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("scene 5", 1);
}
this doesn't work when I use it over the hexagonal menu, but when I move the button to somewhere else on the screen (not over the movie) it works.
Please can someone help with this - Ive been working on it flat out over the weekend and desperately want to make it work. any ideas would be appreciated!! thank you
Loading External Movie Clip With A Button Inside Another Movie Clip Help
Hi,
I am working on a scrolling thumbnail movie clip, that when you click on the thumbnail button inside the movie clip it will load an external movie clip. I have an empty movie clip on the main stage, and have been trying all sorts of code, but for some reason it doesn't like that I am inside a movie clip using buttons. It can't seem to find the external swf.
I have tried:
on (release) {
loadMovie (ithink.swf, "loader");
and
on (release) }
if (firstTime == true) {
loadMovie("ithink.swf", _root.loader);
firstTime = false;
} else {
_root.clicked = "ithink.swf";
_root.loader.gotoAndPlay("goback");
}
}
and so far nothing, for some reaosn when I click on a button outside of the movie clip with the above code it loads... and than the other works too, but if I click on the buttons inside the scolling movie clip first they won't work.
Any suggests or ideas!!?
I would really appreciate it... I am beyond frusterated!!

Place Movie Clip Button Inside Movie Clip
Hi, I have searched the forum but cannot find exactly what I am looking for.
I have a movie clip of a map that I can zoom and drag and what I would like to do if possible is to have several other movie clips inside the first movie clip which when clicked go to and play at a given frame number on the timeline where a photo is displayed.
The 'several' movie clips will be small flashing red circles. Each one represents a place of interest and when clicked will display a photo of the place of interest.
Controlling Different Jpgs Inside A Movie Clip?
Hi folks,
I'm looking to find out if it's possible (I assume it is) to control several jpg images in a root directory and having actions applied to them once they're loaded into a "holder" movie clip.
What I'm trying to do is make a series of panoramas and while I have the photographs already, as well as an open source movie from FK, I'd like to try and basically import a jpg into a movie clip which has all the actions already in place rather than having a seperate swf with all the panoramic actions in it.
What I'm looking for is either a tute, a source file or some kind soul to tell me the AS for how to achieve this.
Thanking y'all

Controlling The Timeline From Inside A Movie Clip
Very very simple to most of you im sure...but i'm just learning AS3 and need some basic help...
I have a button in my movie clip that I want to be able to control the main timeline with.
I'd started with this:
++++++++++++++++++++++
nextbutton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
}
nextbutton_mc.buttonMode = true;
++++++++++++++++++++++
...but this obviously only controls the movie clip itself as opposed to the main timeline level. How can I control the main timeline?
Thanks in advance.

Controlling Properties Of An Instance Inside A Movie Clip
I have a button, named "stuff", with an instance name "stuff". The button is inside a movie called "navmovie", and acts as a regular button once the movie is loaded.
I am trying to set the _alpha property of this button to 10 when another button is rolled-over in the main movie. My code for this button is as follows:
on (rollOver) {
setProperty("_root.navmovie.stuff", _alpha, "20");
}
and it is not working. I tried changing the path to the object to "stuff" and "_root.stuff" as well, and with the same result.
Could someone please steer me in the right direction? TIA

Button(movie Clip) Inside A Movie Clip
Hey guys,
I had 3 buttons in the main movie which was working fine.
an external actionscript file was responsible for the buttons' functions
playPause is the instance name of the button(made as a movie clip)
ActionScript Code:
playPause.onRollOver = function()
{
if(this._currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
else this.gotoAndStop("playOver")
}
What I wanted to do is create another button(instance name speaker) on the main movie that when a user rolls over with a mouse, it'll show the 3 buttons. Basically, a button(movie clip) in a button(movie clip).
I have this movie clip working fine but none of the action script on the original buttons are working (of course because target changed).
I have tried the following and it will not work (in external .as file)-
ActionScript Code:
speaker.playPause.onRollOver = function()
{
if(this._currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
else this.gotoAndStop("playOver")
}
any suggestions? thanks in advance

here is my problem.
on frame 1 line 2 i have a button ( bt1_btn ) and added this code on frame 1, line 1
Code:
stop();
bt1_btn.onRollOver = function() {
_root.gotoAndPlay("animation"); // frame 2

i tried the obvious

which resulted to nothing.
i tried using this code at the main level on line 1

i then tried this code on frame 1 line 1 of the movieclip bt2_btn

trace("button clicked");
};

Using A Movie Clip Inside A Movie Clip To Start A Frame Of An MC Inside A Movie Clip
Situation:
I have a movie clip inside a movie clip with a button inside of it.
This button on release goes to a different movie clip(svideo) in a different frame on the maintime. This movie clip has a movie clip(portfolio) inside of it.
Okay: I use an absolute path on the aforementioned button
on release
_root.svideo.portfolio.gotoAndPlay(60);
But, for some reason Flash won't go to frame 60 of the portfolio movie clip that is inside of the svideo.
I have tried numerous variations on reaching frame 60 of portfolio. Like going to the maintime line and going to the portfolio MC. Also, portfolio and svideo are the instance names and not the name of the actual movie clip.
If anybody could help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Controlling Navigation Of A Movie Clip Inside A Loaded Swf From Main Timeline
Hi,
I am using the two lines of code below in my main movie to laod another swf into level 50 of the main movie. I then want to control an instance of a movie clip inside the loaded swf called background but the second line (goto) does not work.
Code:
loadMovieNum ("desktops/"+backgroundimage, "50");
_level50.background.gotoAndStop(2);
The first line definately works fine.
Does this mean the hierarchy is such that I should be saying _level50.loadedswf_name.background.gotoAndStop(2)
In which case is there a way of giving the loaded swf an instance name when I load it. Or am I completely wrong?
Thanks again

Create An Empty Movie Clip Inside An Existing Movie Clip?
I'm making sort of a tabbed navigation scheme by reading the data for each tab in from an XML file. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to use createEmptyMovieClip() to make a new empty movie clip inside a movie clip that already exists on the stage.
Using
ActionScript Code:
m_anchor.loadMovie(bg_image);
works as I would expect. bg_image is just the relative path to an image file, and m_anchor is a movieclip already on the stage. However, doing a similar thing:
ActionScript Code:
m_anchor.createEmptyMovieClip("textbox", this.getNextHighestDepth());
and then drawing a shape (a rounded rectangle, which I then want to put text on top of) doesn't work. It works if I just say "this.createEmptyMovieClip" instead of attempting to create it inside the m_anchor clip, but if I do that, the "textbox" is created at the root level and I can't unload it along with everything else in the "m_anchor" clip. Is it possible to create a new empty movie clip inside of one that is already on the stage?
Thanks!
Problem Getting Movie Clip Inside Of Movie Clip To Face Mouse
I used the code below to make a movie clip face the mouse, it works when I use it on a movie clip that's not embedded in another movie clip, but when I used it on an embedded movie clip, it's axis seems to change.
Attach Code
var stickGun:MovieClip = this.stick_holder.stickGun_mc;
//stick_holder.stick_mc.stickGun_mc
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onMove);
//stick_holder.stick_mc.stickGun_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
function onMove(event:Event):void {
// get the radian value of the angle between the clip and the mouse...
var myRadians:Number = Math.atan2(mouseY - stickGun.y, mouseX - stickGun.x);
// convert it to degrees...
var myDegrees:Number = Math.round((myRadians * 180 / Math.PI));
// get the horizontal and vertical distance between the clip and the mouse...
// rotate the clip toward the mouse...
stickGun.rotation = myDegrees;
}
Placing Actionscript Movie Clip Inside A Movie Clip Symbol
I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?
Button Inside Movie Clip Inside Scrollpane Doesn't Work In Xml
This is sorta odd but I'm hoping somewhat easy to fix. This is in AS2 and is the last problem I have in a very small project of mine.
I have button called button01 inside a movieclip called movieclip01 which is the contentPath for a scrollpane called scrollpane01. I'd like the button to work, and depending on the code it will work in the normal .swf but won't when I embed my movie into xml.
If I put the code inside movieclip01
button01.onRelease=function(){
_root.gotoAndPlay("Frame Name");
}
It will work when I test it but not in the XML. So what I want to do is go to the main timeline where the scrollpane is and write the code there. That is where I'm stuck.
I've tried scrollpane01.movieclip01.button01 and tried movieclip01.button01 and also tried scrollpane01.button01. Just for giggles I also tried scrollpane01.movieclip01 but none of that works
Last night I had a similar problem with buttons inside a movieclip that was on the root stage. They worked in the swf but not when I embedded the file - so I found this which worked (typed in the root stage)
movieclip01.button01.onRelease=function(){

Button Controlling Movie Clip
I have a button on the main timeline targeting a Movie Clip. The button has a onRollOver and onRollOut state associated with some actionscript in the main timeline. The Movie Clip really is just a mask that opens and closes over in image. What I'm trying to do is onRollOVer make the mask open and onRollOut make the mask close. The animation is 40 frames with the first 20 frames being the open tween and the last 20 frames being the close tween. The problem I'm having is when the user rolls out prematurely it jumps to the last frame of the open tween and then begins it's closing tween. I think I need to set up some kind of onEnterFrame somewhere. Is there a way to get rid of the last 20 frames and just have the animation rewind? I want all the
actionscript to be on the main timeline. Example actionscript:
tv_btn.onRollOver = function () {
tv_mc.gotoAndPlay("open");
}
tv_btn.onRollOut = function () {
tv_mc.gotoAndPlay("close");
}
I know where my problem is, but not sure how to fix it.
Button Controlling Movie Clip
I have a button on the main timeline controlling an animation residing in a movie clip. I have a mask in the movie clip that opens to show an image when the button is in the rollOver state. I want the the mask to close on the rollOut state. If I make a tween with it opening and a tween with it closing, when the user rollsOut of the button prematurely it jumps to the last portion of the open animation. I want it to be fluid. I'm not sure how to do this with actionscript and I want all my code to be on the main timeline. Here is a sample of the code:
tv_btn.onRollOver = function () {
tv_mc.gotoAndPlay("open");
}
tv_btn.onRollOut = function () {
tv_mc.gotoAndPlay("close");
}
Controlling Movie Clip With Button
Hi, I am a Flash beginner. I've got the following problem:
I am doing an animation on the seven-piece Chinese puzzle called "Tangram". It consists of movie clips showing the solution of each puzzle and three buttons to control the movie clips: "Hint", "Solution", and "Next"
Each movie clip has 71 frames, with a key frame every 10 frames, i.e. frame 1, frame 11, frame 21, etc (Every ten frame, a piece of the puzzle positions itself at the right place).
I want the Hint button to tell Flash to go to frame 11 of the movie clip when clicked, then to go to frame 21 when clicked again, etc, until the puzzle is complete. My question is, instead of "nextFrame" as in:
on (press) {
movieclipname.nextFrame();
}
what should the function be? I have tried "nextKeyFrame", but Flash doesn't accept it. Could you help me with this? Oh, I forgot, another question:
does Flash allow you to create your own commands. Thanks for helping me.

I want the Hint button to tell Flash to go to frame 11 of the movie clip when clicked, then to go to frame 21 when clicked again, etc, until the puzzle is complete. My question is, instead of "nextFrame" as in:
on (press) {
movieclipname.nextFrame();
}
what should the function be? I have tried "nextKeyFrame", but Flash doesn't accept it. Could you help me with this? Oh, I forgot, another question:
does Flash allow you to create your own commands. Thanks for helping me.
Controlling A Movie Clip With Button

I have a long animation which continually loops, within this animation there are several buttons. I would like to use these buttons to run smaller animations within the overall animation.
The desired result is to have little animations going on (when you press a button) within a larger animation.
This may be solved by having the small animations constantly running but have them invisible (Alpha=0) and then when you click the button the alpha is reset to 100.
(maybe)
I have no idea where to start with this and so any help you can offer at all will be gratefully recieved.
