Detecting A Mouse Event On A Clip Within A Clip
Hello,

I am trying to detect a mouse click on a clip within a clip, but it's not working. I have read that it's not possible to detect a child_mc.onMouseOver is 'child_mc' is within 'parent.mc'.

But there must be a ways around it, right?

Thank you.

OnRelease Event Does Nothing For Clip Inside Clip
I have a "menu" movie clip. Inside that is an instance of another "button" movie clip named "myButton". The menu clip is exported for actionscript. In my main timeline I have an empty clip with the instance name of "empty". The code is:

_root.empty.attachMovie("menu", "myMenu", 1);
//menu clip is attached
_root.empty.myMenu.myButton.onRelease = function () {
trace("this never shows");
}

why does the onRelease event not do anything? If i put this code directly on the myButton instance inside the menu clip I don't see the trace either. However, the following code DOES work:

_root.empty.attachMovie("menu", "myMenu", 1);
//menu clip is attached
_root.empty.myMenu.onRelease = function () {
trace("this shows");
}

but i need the code to execute when the button inside the menu is clicked not the whole menu itself. Any help is appreciated!

Clip Event
Hello, I am doing a drag and drop and here is my code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
if (this.hitTest(_root.two)==true
_parent.right=_parent.right+1

Basically if the droptarget for the movie is true then increment the variable right by 1. The problem is that once it is equal to true, the variable keeps increasing by 1. It's almost like a counter and it keeps going. How do I get it to just increment it by 1 and then stop?

Thanks

On Clip Event, Is There Another Way?
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 3;
}
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num and _root.animation == 1) {
_root.animation = 0;
_root.link_prev = _root.link;
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
_root.play();
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(3);
_root.category_num = 4;
_root.pic_category_num = 46;
}
}

All I want to do is, on release go to page number "X" instead of the number listed in the "onclip event". It won't let me because of **Error** Symbol=shortcut buttons, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 21: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
}onClipEvent (load) {

Can anyone help??

The problem is that i made drop down menu and there's on clip event so that the menu rolls back when the mouse is clicked anywhere on the screen , but the problem is that the submenu buttons wont work if i put on mouse event on one of those buttons....

On Clip Event?
I have these animated menus that kick in when you roll over them. See www.stephanieerdel.com/headermov.swf . The only problem is that I don't know the command to turn the movies off when you roll off them. If I do a rollOut event handler on the child button, it stops the movie before it's done playing.

I basically want it to play the movie while your mouse is over the link and the sublinks but when you roll off the sublinks or the main link then the movie stops playing. Is this an OnClipEvent? If so, then what is the command? And what level do I write the actionscript on?

On Clip Event
Hi

What is the right action script for this on clip event to put it in its own layer in the timeline?

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 22;
_y =113;
div = 5;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/div;
_y += (endY-_y)/div;

_root.pic1.onRelease = function() {
endX = 22;
endY = 113;
};
_root.pic2.onRelease = function() {
endX = -282;
endY = 113;
};
_root.pic3.onRelease = function() {
endX = -582 ;
endY = 113;
};

}

Thanks in Advanced

Attach Code

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 22;
_y =113;
div = 5;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/div;

On Clip Event Problem
Hi all,

I have a movie, parentmovie, and inside it is a movie clip called my text clip and a movie clip called biplane. Both have been given instance names of the same. In my text clip I have:

onClipEvent(mouseMove){
startDrag("biplane", true);
}

but I get the error clip events are permitted only for movie clipinstances....

I expected that when the mouse moved over the text clip movie that the plane would start to drag....????
Has anyone any ideas I think I'm misunderstanding the OnClipEvent command....

Clip Event Problems
onClipEvent (load) {friction=4;
this._x=100;
this._y=70;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (this._y<244){this._x+=(this._x-this._x)/friction;
this._y+=(this._y-this._y)/friction;
} else {_root.draggableClip.dragButton.onRelease = function() {_root.draggableClip._x+=(100-_root.draggableClip._x)/friction;
_root.draggableClip._y+=(70-_root.draggableClip._y)/friction;
}
}

}

So basically I have a draggable clip and when It's released below a certain area I want it to ease back to it's original area. But since it's on clip event enter I'm assuming it keeps hitting the first if statement, and it only tweens a little bit and then stops.

I know my code is really sloppy, but if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.

For Loop And Clip Event
Hello,

onClipEvent (load) {
for (var i = 3; i<=3; i++) {
this+".ball"+i.gotoAndPlay("off");
trace(this+".ball"+i);
}
//_root.ballCounter.ballDisplay.ball1.gotoAndPlay("o ff");
}

I've got a group of MC clips of balls in a MC that are numbered ball1, ball2, ball3 etc

I've placed the above script on the MC that should target the ball MCs...but it doesn't work can any one tell me why? I've also tried using absolute targets.
The commented line in the script does work correctly...it also works using:
this.ball1.gotoAndPlay("off");

Thanks again,

Clip Event Question
Okay I hope everyone understands what I'm asking is a syntax question...

In my movie I use this code a lot which is attached to a movie clip..

onClipEvent(load)
{
//my commands
}

But I want to do it on frame one.

---------------------------------------------------
As a side note... I also use..

on(release)
{
//my code
}

and on frame one I use instead....

movieclip.onRelease = function()
{
// my code
}

-------------------------------
So my final question is... is there a way to write the first set of code as a function on the first frame? Such as...
movieclip.onClipEventLoad = function(){ }

Or something?

Thanks!

Clip Event Trouble
Man its been a long day... I seem to be having another problem with a simple code - here is the code I am using:

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.BG.logo.onRollOver = function() {
tellTarget ("_root.BG.logo.iii") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
};
}

This code is placed in "logo" MC actions in BG.

Logo is a MC in the MC BG on the main stage and iii is a clip within logo.
When the mouse rolls over the logo clip I want iii to start playing at frame 2. I know I am missing something stupid... please point it out! : ( Thanks a lot.

Using Movie Clip Event Handler Function, But Not For A Movie Clip
Let's say I have the following code:

----------------------------------------------
var initObj = new Object();
initObj.mood = "happy";
mc = attachMovie("mcBox","instBox",100,initObj);
mc.onPress = boxPress;

function boxPress() {
trace("Box mood: " + this.mood);
}
----------------------------------------------

Now, let's say there are times that I want to call boxPress() other than when the onPress event happens. Is there a way I can set up an object, give it a "mood" property, and then run boxPress() so that it uses my non-movieclip object instead of a movie clip?

Getting StopDrag To Work On A Clip Event
I'm trying to get a MC to drag with my cursor whenever the cursor moves into a designated area. The trouble is, the script for the "designated area" isn't working. I can get everything to drag correctly, but I can't get the drag to happen ONLY when the cursor is in the right area. Here's my code (it's so ridiculously long because I've been rewriting it every way to Sunday in the hopes that it's an Actionscript bug with the if statements...):

Quote:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xmouse < 731) {
if (_xmouse > 14) {
if (_ymouse < 146) {
if (_ymouse > 22) {
_level0.gradient.startDrag(true, 108, 87, 623, 87);
}
}
}
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xmouse > 731) {
if (_xmouse < 14) {
if (_ymouse > 146) {
if (_ymouse < 22) {
_level0.gradient.stopDrag();
}
}
}
}
}

Any ideas on how to constrain the dragging to the area listed?

Movie Clip Event Handling
In actionscript I am creating a movie clip with 4 nested movie clips. I want to attach event handlers to these sub movie clips so that I can detect mouse down events and start to drag them. I need to dynamically attach and detach event handlers as I only want to be able to drag them some of the time.

I have one class which creates and updates the user interface, I want this class to register and un-register the event handlers, but a seperate class will actually handle the events.

If these where buttons I would use:

Code:
my_button.addEventListner("mouseDown", myControllerClass);
But movie clips do not support the addEventListner function! I have also tried:

Code:
my_movieclip.onMouseDown = Delegate.create(myControllerClass, myControllerClass.onMouseDown);
But this seems to attach the event listener to the parent movie clip. Help! What should I be doing.

Thanks,

Triggering An Event From A Nested Clip.
I have been developing a simple Roll Over menu, where a user rolls over a clip & that tweens out to give a number of options.

I have used an invisible button (controlled from a main timeline code) on top of some text nested inside the main clip, clicking on that button causes the required user driven event.

Problem.
I can not get the buttons onClick event to trigger. I imagine it’s because Flash is still responding to the holding clips on RollOver event which sets the tween rolling. I can’t see why Flash can’t pick up on the fact that the mouse is now over a nested clip & respond accordingly.

Unless anyone knows a better way, the only option I can see is to use the clips _x & _y properties together with the mouse’s to find out if the user is over the button & act accordingly.

Fla attached.

Many thanks for any help.

OnSoundComplete Vs. Movie Clip Event
Hello and Happy Holidays!

I have a movie that I am trying to sync with some external mp3 files - basically a narrated voice over.

What I am having a problem with is that, depending on which browser, computer, server, act of God, etc seems to be effecting it at the moment, it seems that sometimes the movie clip takes longer to execute than the mp3 and vice versa.

What this means is that I cannot rely on any one specific item to be the determiner of when to move on to the next movie clip. If I use "onSoundComplete" and it finishes before the current movie clip, it cuts the movie clip short. If I rely on the end of the movie clip it may cut the mp3 short. What I am trying to figure out is how to take both into consideration - sort of an "if then" statement. I've racked my brain over this one for hours until my mind is numb.

Any ideas where to start?

many thanks.

On Clip Event Handlers Not Working
HI,
I'm having some trouble with my on clip event handlers. I'm learning action script from the macromedia action script manual and every time i write an on clip event handler, copying directly from the manual, I am getting an error message. Here's what it says as an examples....

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
var star_array:Array = new Array();

The statement is copied verbatim out of the text book so I'm confused as to what I am doing wrong. The on event handlers have been working but none of the on clip event handlers. Is there something I'm missing in my script or do I have to dissect the problem in my preferences? Really confused, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
