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(){

Get A Button To Work Inside A Movie.
Hello everyone,

If any of you could possibly help I would truely appreciate it as I am creating this for my younger cousins.

Here is the problem:

I am creating a quiz (who wants to be a millionaire style, for them.) I wanted to create a seperate movie clip for each question, so I did all this and used the relevent actionscript on my correct button:

on (release) {gotoAndStop("Correct", 1);

}

This should go to the scene 'Correct' and play the first frame. However it doesn't - the reason I believe is that you can't have a button inside a movie clip, because when it isn't in a movie clip it works fine, however to keep the file more organised I would like to be able to have the button inside the movie symbol.

So is there any way to successfully do this?

P.s. I have done a search for 'button in movie' and it brought up lots of threads not to do with my question, I did see the following: http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...n+inside+movie However I don't believe that is the same problem..

Thanks a lot in advance!

[F8] Buttons Inside Movie Clip Don't Work
I have built a menu movie clip (mcMenu) and within it are submenu movie clips (e.g, mcCourses). On a button in the main menu, when you roll over it, you gotoAndPlay at another frame in the main menu that has the mcCourses movie clip. mcCourses has three buttons in it, but when you are on the web page testing functionality, though you roll over the main menu button and the submenu comes up, the buttons within the mcCourses submenu don't work. I've read that if you have button handling in the parent, that buttons in the child won't work. Is this true? If so, how can you work around it besides the clunky invisible button in the submenu that never quite works cleanly? If this is not what the issue is, then what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

XML Call Won't Work Inside Movie Clip
Flash Versions: Attempted in 7 & 8

Hey,

I have created a movie clip that I am using to slide content via x/y coordinates. Within this movie clip, I have all of my content laid out, square by square, and with a click of a button on the top layer, these square's x/y coordinates are being called to 0'0'. You get it, simple sliding stuff.

Problem is this:
-One of my "squares" (within the movie clip) uses a dynamic text field that calls an external .xml file for content. When I use this code on a blank .fla document, outside of this movie clip, it works fine, but when I bring it into the movie clip, no text shows up in the field. Why? I've even tried using a .txt variable call instead of .xml and i still get no results within the movieclip, but success on a blank .fla

-This is how it's arranged: Scene 1>SlidingContent>ActualContent (this is where I create two layers, one with the dyn. text field and another with the actionscript)

-*sidenote: I have another "square" that calls .jpgs via code and it works fine.

Removing A Movie Clip From Inside Itself Doesn't Work :(
For some reason, I can't remove a movie clip from inside itself. I even tried using a function on the _root timeline, and calling it from within the movie clip, and it still didn't work.

Here's what I'm currently using to try to remove it from within itself (doesn't work):
code:
removeMovieClip(this);

I also tried this:
code:
this.removeMovieClip();

The function I attempted to use looked like this:
code:
killMe = function (target)
{
removeMovieClip(target);
//This function is on the _root timeline
}

And the call in the movie clip looked like this:
code:
_root.killMe(this);

Any ideas, explanations, workarounds? I did remember to search this time, by the way.

Thanks!
Rick

Edit: I can, however, MOVE the movie clip from within itself

Unable To Get Checkbox To Work Inside Movie Clip
Hello,
I am following up on a problem that is very close to working but not quite. What I need some how is to indicate when you press the button that it has been checked. When create a button inside the movie clip the check function won't work. I simulate the check by using labels within the movie clip. Check boxes don't work either, but I need to somehow convey that the buttons have been checked. Does anyone have a clue. A great guy helped me out before but I have mislaid his contact information. Where are you. I owe you a photograph!
The file is attached. you wil have to create fout external swfs for it to run, but I don't think it needs to work to solve this particular problem.

Cheers,

Buttons Inside Movie Clip Doesn't Work On Over
Hi all,
please help because i am loosing my head. i'm not an expert flash user but I wouldn't say that I am a novice one either.

Into the problem.

I am trying to do a drop down menu. I have used a movie clip to create the effect and in there are the buttons. I am using the root to control the actions. It works fine but when I add the code for the RollOut event the buttons stop having the over effect like to change the font colour etc.

What am I doing wrong?
I have made a douzen variations and I have attached one of them. (i'm not sure if it's attached though)

here is the code placed on the root for the button Vision Support, that's the only one trying to implement since the morning!

this.support_mc.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
DDSupport_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
};

this.support_mc.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(16);
};
this.DDSupport_mc.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(70);
};

please please help

[MX] Buttons That Are Inside A Movie Clip, Which Is On A Scene Do Not Work. Help Plse
ok, I have a website with 4 pages (home, services, portfolio and contact). on the portfolio page there are two buttons called "web" and "print". (Each page is its own scene.)

The web and print buttons are inside a movie clip. the reason they are in the movie clip is because i wanted them to float about the page (scene) looped. thus they are in a movie clip. when you click on each button they are supposed to go to their respective pages. Inside the movie clip i went in and added the "go to and play" action script. All other buttons on the site work except for the web and print button that move around the page in the movie clip.

so basically the buttons are now floating about on the page within the movie clip that is on the main scene. the problem is that when you click on the buttons they do not do anything. when you click on the button it changes color like it is supposed to, but it just doesent take you to its respective pages.
Thanks for any help....

Create Movie Clip Wont Work Inside Loop...
So I created a do while loop that will execute onLoad of an xml document. The onLoad function is working and the xml is loading correctly. However I want to also create a movie clip during this loop cycle. I have tried attachMovie and createEmptyMovieClip and nothing seems to happen when it is inside the loop. Taking it out of the loop however and the statements work fine.

What is going on here? I'm pulling my hair out over this one. The code if you need it:

Code:
//=============================================== create dynamic text obj w/scrollbar
this.createTextField("assetTitle_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 120, 300);
//assetTitle_txt.html = true;
assetTitle_txt.multiline = true;
assetTitle_txt.wordWrap = true;
//why does this stop any text from showning up?
//assetTitle_txt.embedFonts = true;

// format the text
var assetTitle_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
assetTitle_fmt.size = 14;
assetTitle_fmt.color = 0xFFFFFF;
assetTitle_fmt.font = "Berlin Sans FB";
assetTitle_txt.setNewTextFormat(assetTitle_fmt);

//attach scroll bar
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "mainVert_sb", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mainVert_sb.move( this._width - 5, assetTitle_txt._y);
mainVert_sb.setScrollTarget(assetTitle_txt);
mainVert_sb.setSize(4, assetTitle_txt._height);

//populate text box xml method
//=============================================== create new xml obj
var my_xml:XML = new XML();
// Set the ignoreWhite property to true (default value is false).
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

//=============================================== set up xml onload function
my_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
var countA = 1;
do {
//construct a seperate movie clip
this.attachMovie ("dateMarker_mc", "marker1_mc", 1000);
marker1_mc._x = 0;
marker1_mc._y = 0;

//position movie clip relative to previous clips y value + size

//load asset titles into txt object
assetTitle_txt.text += my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[countA].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue + newline + newline;
countA++ ;
}
//eventually the cond for this will be a test to see if more elements exist
while ( countA < 2 ) ;
};

//=============================================== Load the XML into the my_xml object.
my_xml.load("all_titles.xml");

Main_mc Scroll Window, Doesnt Work Inside Movie?
Hey yall,

I'm trying to get a scroll bar tutorial to work inside of a movie (meaning I have a movie instance named "home mov"). However, when I try to run the program, it doesn't load the text file or show anything at all. Here is the main action script that is supposed to load it:

Code:

function showText(message) {
main4.w_field4.htmlText = message;
if (main4.w_field4.maxscroll > main4.w_field4.scroll) {
main4.gotoAndPlay("scroll_loop4");
}
}
function checkVars(success) {
if (success) {
the_text = this.my_text;
gotoAndStop(141);
} else {
trace("file didn't load");
}
}

should i name it home mov.main4.w_field4.htmlText ??? ive tried a few variations and nothing works

Image Scroller Script Doesn't Work When Put Inside Movie Clip
I've given up trying to figure this out myself as I'm new to this and desperately in need of help.

I got a script which is an image scroller. I've attached the fla in question and the problem seems to be in the 'controller' MC which you can see in the assets. This is what controls the button actions to the slides.

I want to be able to put this in another movie clip so that I can refer to it from another mc and then this shoudl start playing.

Will really appreciate your help!

Dynamic Text From .txt File Doesn't Work Inside Movie Clip
Let me start by explaining...
I have a 10 Scene flash movie / website. Everyscene has it's own cool animation. (To see what i mean check out http://69.41.144.121/aerocet/index.html). There are many layers in each scene and each scene has a lot of symbols. I am trying to load text from a txt file dynamically into a movie clip called t_info_text1 which is also inside Symbol 82 which is a symbol of Scene 2. I can't ever manage to see the text in the compiled site. I've tried many different paths the the object and such. Is there just a trick I am missing, or scripting I am getting wrong?

Again:
Textbox instance name about_txt var about
Part of Movie Clip t_info_text1
Part of Symbol 82
Part of Scene 2
Part of SWF

in same directory on HDD is about.txt which contains the following:
&about=Some text about us

in Frame 1 of Scene 2 actionscript reads the following
loadVariables("about.txt",0);
about_txt.embedfonts = true;

I have already embedded my fonts and they work fine, If i paste the text into the textbox it will show up, but if I load it froma text file, it's no go....
What can I do?

Playing A Flash Movie Inside Another Movie
Hi All. I've created a small site out of flash, and the content I have made using Swish. I exported the Swish to an SWF file, then imported the SWF into a new symbol --> Movie, named "Content". This consisted of 20 individual frames. I then accepted it, and dragged the "Content" from the Library into the main piece of movie itself, but when I try to view the movie the imported SWF does not play. Does anybody know how to play a flash movie, inside another flash movie. Cheers,

Kind Regards,

Movie Clip Inside A Flash Movie
Hi,

I would like to insert inside a flah animation differents movie clips of differents size than the main animation. Does it make sens?

Ok, let's say I've got a 600px X 250px Flash animation, now I would like to insert in this animation 3 other movie clips next to each other-each one of them measuring 200px X 250px.

That way I will have 3 small animations with there own boundaries running at the same time on the main animation, so if I want a ball going from left to right in the first animation (the one at the far left on the main animation), the ball will diseapear inside the first animation boundaries without appearing on the main animation.

Ok it's a bit confuse but I am not a Flash expert, so forgive me.

Thanks

Remoting Movie Inside Flash Movie
Hi,

I have several separate Flash movies that use remoting to connect to the database.

My experience in Flash is pretty much limited to the creation of these movies, so my questions may seem silly but here goes:

I need to put all these movies into a larger movie but I have no idea how to do so

When I import to library and drag an instance onto the stage and give instance name, the movie shows up but does not play. When I use _root.<instance_name>.play(), I get nothing.

Can anybody offer advice on how to get these individual flash movies with remoting to work when inside a larger flash movie?

Thanks,
