MyMovieClip.onEneterframe = Foo(arg);

Mymovieclip._y , Can You Help Please ?
I am using Flash MX, here's my question.
I have one movieclip called "hope" and one botton called " stay "
both on the main page.

this is the action on botton.

on (release) {
i = "1";
b = "hope"+i;

trace(b);
trace(b._y);
trace(hope1._y);

}


can you tell me why my result are

1. trace(b) = hope1
2. trace(b._y) = undefined
3. trace(hope1._y) = 80


No. 1 and 3 are correct, My question is why number 2 is undefined ? why the result is not 80 since b = "hope1". anyone can help me ? where do i have to change to make trace(b._y) = 80 ?

Thank you so much

MyMovieClip.onRelease
hi

i used this loop to declare every movieclip in an array as a button:

for(i=0; i<theArray.length; i++){
_root["myMovieClip" add i].onRelease = function () {
_root.theReleasefunction();
}
}

but the function only appears to work on the last moieclip (i=theArray.length)

what can i do????

please help

If (myMovieClip = Null){ ?
I have been using this code for a while now and simply list all animated movie clips in a function like this...


ActionScript Code:
if (myMovieClip != null){
myMovieClip.stop();

I also make another function to play each movie clip.

The problem I am having now is I THINK when the movie clip isn't present at the beginning of the scene (Where the above code is) I get an "Access of undefined property" error. I dont know why I am getting this because I was hoping that if myMovieClip is null then it would ignore the rest of the if statement and go onto the next, but I could be wrong. Can anyone explain exactly what is going on here.

Cheers

MyMovieClip.hitTest(target)?
Hi,
Can "target" be a MC?
According Macromedia's tutorial, "The target usually represents a button or text-entry field". My target is a MC. Is it possible to use the hitTest()?
I want to detect the collision of two objects.

Please help. Thanks!

MyMovieClip.onLoad = Function () {
Can someone tell me if this is meant to work in this way
drop_down.dropContent.onLoad = function() {
trace("anything");
}
like in flash 5 you had
onClipEvent (load) {
trace("anything");
}
Am I loosing my mind or this is not working in my MX
I have used the
drop_down.dropContent.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace("anything");
};
and this works.

MyMovieClip.onLoad = NOT WORKING
I have a movie clip on my stage called "displayMC", on the first frame I place the following

Code:
displayMC.onLoad = function(){
this.nextLetter = 0;
trace("Next Letter is " add this.nextLetter);
};


I get NOTHING in the output window and when I try to use the value in an onEnterFrame it is undefined so the code continues to execute well after the desired effect has taken place.

What's strange (at least to me) is that if I change the onLoad to onEnterFrame, the trace executes and shows in the output window.
<font color = "red">EVEN MORE STRANGLY, </font>if I select the movie clip and attach the code in the old way

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
nextLetter = 0;
trace("Next Letter is " add this.nextLetter);
}


That works.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Loop On A MyMovieClip.loadVariables(url)
Hi

I am trying to make a flash program that manages a list of online people in real time (in a List Flash component)

To load the list, I use an empty movieclip that gets the data (named "datavault"). When the datavault.loadVariables(url) is finished, a procedure datavault.onData = function () { ... } is called and that one manages to add the people to the list. After that, I want that function to launch a loadVariables again, to have a permanent loop on that loading. I might add some delay on that later on, but that's not the matter.

With the TRACE, I can see the only onData that is loaded is the first one, and after that the script stops.

Hereunder is the script I used :


Code:
url_get_userlist = "http://"+_root.phpserver+"/index.php?action=getuserlist";
_root.datavault.loadVariables(url_get_userlist);

_root.datavault.onData = function()
{
global url_get_userlist;
trace(_root.datavault.sv_userlist);

/* the user list is shaped that way : user1<!>user2<!>user3<!> */
array_userlist = _root.datavault.sv_userlist.split('<!>');

for(i = 0; i <= array_userlist.length; i++)
{
if(array_userlist[i].length)
{
_root.chat_userlist.addItem(array_userlist[i]);
}
}

_root.datavault.loadVariables(url_get_userlist);
}

Mymovieclip.onMouseUp = Function()
Hi Guys,
I have just developed a simple xml photo gallery. Below is the code that I have used to generate the gallery:


Code:
var gallery = createEmptyMovieClip("galleryImage",0);
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
cur_item = gallery.attachMovie("mainImage","spec"+i, i);
cur_item.loadMovie(thumb[i], "mainImage");
cur_item.onMouseUp = function() {
getURL(javascript:openWindow("products/"+id+"/"+image[i]));
};
}
I am having difficulties to make each movie clip generated into a button that will call the javascript button:


Code:
cur_item.onMouseUp = function() {
getURL(javascript:openWindow("products/"+id+"/"+image[i]));
};
What i want to do is to allow the user to click on the movie clip and it will call javascript and open the image in a html window. For some reason I can't get it to do anything. Am i using the correct code to do this?

Please advise

Much appreciated

Daniel
