Removing a movieClip from another movieClip

Hey, How do I make visible a movie clip in the main movie from another movie clip when it loads? Not using addchild since the movie clip is on stage. thanks in advance...mesa
Main timeline ---- a simple timeline with two movie clips named aMovie bMovie
aMovieClip.visible =true;
MovieClip2 code with button
aMovieClip.visible=false;
error:
Symbol 'NavPage', Layer 'ActionScript', Frame 1, Line 1 1119: Access of possibly undefined property aMovieClip through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.

You just said they were named aMovie and bMovie, so neither of the two lines of code you show would be correct, but you can work that out for whatever they really are named...
main timeline:
aMovie.visible =true;
bMovie timeline:
MovieClip(parent).aMovie.visible=false;

How do I reference a dynamically created MovieClip from another MovieClip?

Hi,
I'd be grateful for any pointers to the following problem:
     I'm having trouble referencing dynamically created MovieClips (links in a side panel on a Flash website, created from an XML file) from the current MovieClip (the currently selected link).
     I wish to freeze the the link/MovieClip in its mouseOver state once it has been clicked - this part works. When a new link/MovieClip is clicked on, I wish to release the previously clicked-on link from its mouseOver state, which is what I've so far been unable to do.
     My problem seems to be referencing the previous link/MoveClip. I've used the trace statement trace(MovieClip(this).name) to determine that the MovieClips are named item0, item1, item2 and so on. However, I've been unable thus far to reference the previous clip thus far. I've tried to trace the route to the MovieClip from the stage, and also tried MovieClip(parent).item0.gotoAndStop and lots of other different permutations, but to no avail. It's the fact they seem to be in a container called 'panel' which is defeating me.
     Here's a live version I've uploaded, which might explain the problem better. Click on "UBER UNS" in the top menu bar to get to the page in question. It's the links on the left-hand side (Historie, Unser Team, etc.) which are the problem. You'll see that once they've been clicked on they remain in their mouseOver state.
     This is the code in question on the fla file, which is a file I did not create myself. The parts in black work fine; it's the red parts where the problem lies:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
panel.buttonMode = true;
var lang:uint = 1;
var url_Link:String=MovieClip(root).program.websiteXML .language[lang].pages.titlePage[MovieClip(root).program.linkPage].texts.pageList.txt[numT XT].@link;
var urlPage:Number=Number(MovieClip(root).program.webs iteXML.language[lang].pages.titlePage[MovieClip(root).program.linkPage].texts.pageList.tx t[numTXT].@linkPage);
var request:URLRequest;
var linkIndex:uint;
var lastClickedLink:MovieClip;   //This is supposed to store the last link that has been clicked - it doesn't work
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicLink);
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseOverLink);
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mouseOutLink);
function mouseOverLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
      MovieClip(this).gotoAndPlay('s1');
function mouseOutLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
      if(numTXT !== (linkIndex - 1)/5){         //freezes mouseOver state if this is the link for the current page
           MovieClip(this).gotoAndPlay('s2');
function clicLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
      var linkpage:uint = MovieClip(root).program.linkPage;
      if (url_Link) {
           request = new URLRequest(url_Link);
           navigateToURL(request);
      } else {
           linkIndex = numTXT * 5 + 1;
           if(linkpage == 1){
               MovieClip(root).chPages.cont.page_about_mc.page3Tu rner_mc.gotoAndStop([linkIndex]);
          } else if (linkpage == 2){
               MovieClip(root).chPages.cont.page3_mc.page3Turner_ mc.gotoAndStop([linkIndex]);
     lastClickedLink.gotoAndPlay('s2'); // this is supposed to release the previous clicked-on link from it's mouseOver state - doesn't work
     lastClickedLink = MovieClip(this).name;    //this is supposed to set the new link as the last link clicked after the old one has been released from it's mouseOver state - doesn't work
If anyone can help, that would be great.

What you might be after for that line is to use:
lastClickedLink = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
For what you show, the name property of an object is a String, so I would expect you to be getting an error regarding trying to get a String to act like a MovieClip when you try to tell it to gotoAndPlay('s2').

Mask multiple movieclips from single movieclip

Hi i am trying to mask 3 thumbnails from 1 movieclips
mc.samsungchamp.mask=mc.msk
mc.samsungduos.mask=mc.msk
mc.samsungace.mask=mc.msk
but these thumbs are is not showing masked.

Is this not possible to mask all movieclips through one movieclip, without putting movieclips into single movieclip.??

Button functionality in a movieclip within another movieclip for another movieclip

Ok so i have this looping thumbnails bar that goes like this:
Scene1-imagebar-imagebarinside
The buttons symbols are in the "imagebarinside" movieclip and i am using this code:
ss1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop("ssbox1");
...in this movieclip to play another labeled frame in another movieclip (Scene1-Bara)
Problem is it wont work :-< if anyone has a better ideea i'll really apreciate it

Hey!
So, trying to understand the distribution of your MovieClips inside the flash file, this is what I understand:
Scene1 contains a movieclip with the instance name "imagebar" and another movieclip with the instance name "bara".
"imagebar" contains a movieclip with the instance name "imagebarinside". If that is the case (And the code being on the first frame of "imagebarinside"), I would use something like:
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void
Object(this.parent).parent.bara.gotoAndStop("ssbox1");
Hope this works!

Home Sharing removing files copied from another machine

I have two machines both backuped with Time Machine... I purchase movies, music and TV shows on machine A with HS configured (in family area). I have machine B (in office) configured to use HS and to copy new files from Machine A to Machine B. Both machines have HS configured with the same account. This seems to work fine, except... If I then delete media files from Machine A via iTunes that asks, and I confirm, to remove the files from the disk. Will the files also be deleted from Machine B automatically. This is the behaviour I think I'm seeing and it is unexpected. I would expect the files on Machine B to remain until specifically removed!
There are several weeks between the time I purchase media and my purging. I also verify the files have been copied to Machine B before purging from Machine A. Machine A has a smaller HDD so I periodically remove files from this machine to free up space. Then after some time I notice that the files purged from Machine A are no longer on Machine B.
Is this really the way HS is designed to work????
Thanks for any help.

Simon, There are 5 ways to share music with iTunes: (1) iTunes Music Sharing (a/k/a "regular" sharing), (2) Home Sharing, (3) Family Sharing, (4) multiple libraries using a shared set of files, and (5) each member have a copy of the content.
If you don't want them logging in with your Apple ID, Home Sharing is out. If you are only talking about non-DRM music, #5 may be the best solution.

HT201250 how do i remove all backups from another macbook that has been sold

How do i remove all backup data from time capsule for an old mac?

I have Finder set up to display any attached hard drives (done via Finder Preferences/Sidebar) where the hard drives are listed as devices. The hard drives are listed under "Shared" in the actual Finder sidebar. I selected the network hard drive containing the spare image bundle I want to delete which leads to whatever I named the next level which allows me to connect to/mount the hard drive, which shows the hard drive contents. I select the spare image bundle and select delete.
We may be into a terminology difference problem, which, gee people never have that problem :-)))))
What is confusing me is your use of "shared folder", but I think that may be the place to start if the folder is actually a hard drive. If not, try the devices. Looking at both shouldn't do any harm.
What you are looking for is something with whatever the name of your old computer was which when selected shows "Sparse Disk Image Bundle."
You may need whatever user name and password you had on your old computer to actually connect to/mount the hard drive.
Hopefully this is clearer than mud. I've had a few liquid refreshment glasses :-))

How do I remove Adobe CC from another users screen (iMac)?

I've just installed CC on my home computer to do some work on - but someone else uses the computer - logs on as a different user. But every time they do, it automatically pops up asking them to sign in to creative cloud.
Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Sazza85 you can turn off the Creative Cloud Desktop application from launching at login. The option is available under the preferences which is located under the gear icon within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

How do I programmatically remove a subVI from another VI's block diagram?

If it helps, I have a special do-nothing VI called "Bookmark.vi" that I use to mark related code when I have to hop around between two or more places repeatedly.

You would need to use the super secret, super "can completely mess up my program", method of LabVIEW VI Scripting. You can find more information over at the Lava User Groups.
Of course, if the VI doesn't do anything, why not just leave it in and not bother with it?

Removing Shared Library from another music source

My cousin got into my i-tunes and some how imported her Lime Wire account into my i-tunes and it pops up as shared. I want it gone....COMPLETELY!!! I don't know how to do this. Please help!

You could try turning off the library sharing option. To do this in iTunes go to the top line Edit>Preferences>Sharing Tab then uncheck any checked boxes.

Mask multiple movieclips from single mask

Hi,
h have big movieclip 450X350 and there are many small thumbnails i need to mask those from big movieclip, I need to animate those so that i can't put those in a single movieclip, Is it possible to mask multiple movieclips from single movieclip...?

If you want to mask them using Actionscript then you should be able to place them inside a movieclip/sprite as separate animations/movieclips and then assign the mask to the container.
You can mask multiple layers under one layer if you use the timeline

Accessing a variable defined in one class from another class..

Greetings,
I've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.
Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,
- Jeremy

I would approach it in much the same way as you would in java, by making getters and setters for all of your class variables.
Getters being for returning the values, Setters being for setting them.
So you would make a get function for the variable you want to access ala:
function get1PhishBeenHit():boolean {
return this.phish1BeenHit;
Then to access the value of that variable from outwith the class:
var result:boolean = ClassInstanceName.get1PhishBeenHit();

TypeError: Error #1006 - Removing MovieClip from the stage

I have a movie clip that is called to the stage and once the movieclip is finished it calls a function that removes it from the stage. The code works but I get an error message about 4 seconds after the movie clip ends.
Here’s the error message:
TypeError: Error #1006: exitWordMicroscopic is not a function.
                at ASvocabulary_microscopic/frame110()[ASvocabulary_microscopic::frame110:1]
Here’s the stage code:
//************************Removes the movieclip from the stage and enables the button.*************************
function exitWordMicroscopic():void
                bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = true;
                removeChild(word_Microscopic);
//******************************Stage buttons**************************************
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
function goButtonsHomeRead_1(event:MouseEvent):void
                //Vocabulary buttons
                if (event.target == bnt_vocab_microscopic)
                                bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = false;

                                word_Microscopic.y = 120;
Here’s the code inside the movie clip. This is what the error message is referring to:
//****************** Calls function to remove itself from the stage****************************
Object(parent).exitWordMicroscopic();
What am I doing wrong?

Here' how the code looks now:
Objective: To remove the current movieclip while it's playing so that it does not show on the next (or previous) frame.
Here’s the stage code:
var word_Microscopic:ASvocabulary_microscopic = new ASvocabulary_microscopic();
//Removes the movieclip from the stage and enables the button.
function exitWordMicroscopic():void
    bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = true;
    removeChild(word_Microscopic);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
function goButtonsHomeRead_1(event:MouseEvent):void

        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = false;
        addChild(word_Microscopic);
        word_Microscopic.x = 47;
        word_Microscopic.y = 120;
        word_Microscopic.play();
//This button takes the user to the Main Screen
    if (event.target == bnt_ReadGoHome_1)
       // exitWordMicroscopic(); [If I use this function I get this error ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.]
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        gotoAndPlay("1","Main");
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
//This takes the user to the next frame.
if (event.target == GoNext_1)
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        gotoAndPlay("2");
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
Here’s the code inside the movie clip.
//****************** Calls function to remove itself from the stage****************************

AS3: Tween from one MovieClip to Another

Hi!
As the title implies, I'm trying to use ActionScript 3 to tween from one movieclip to another based on an external event.
I'm currently using two "Tween" objects to adjust alpha values. The first tweens-out the previous movieclip, and the second tweens-in the current movieclip. Code follows, with headers included for completeness:
// headers
     import fl.transitions.Tween;
     import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// tweens
     var MOVIECLIP1_out:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP1, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 1, 0, 3, true);
          var MOVIECLIP2_in:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP2, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
My issue, as you might suspect, is that the transition doesn't look right. The previous clip tweens to a blank white screen, and then the second is brought in. I need the tweens to overlap, as they would with a timeline-based tween.
How do I remedy this? My solution was to create a loop, from 0 to 1 incrementing by 0.2, and setting the respective alpha values to increase and decrease. I also planned to set the time for each tween to one-tenth (0.1) of a second:
    var _out1: 1
    var _out2: 0.8
    var _in1: 0
    var _in2: 0.2
while (_in1 <= 1)
    var MOVIECLIP1_out:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP1, "alpha", Regular.easeout, _out1, _out2, 0.1, true);
    var MOVIECLIP2_in:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP2, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, _in1, _in2, 0.1, true);
    _out1 = _out1 - 0.2;
    _out2 = _out2 - 0.2;
    _in1 = _in1 + 0.2;
    _in2 = _in2 + 0.2;
This would result in ten total tweens, over one full second, as follows:
time : Clip : alpha change
0.1 : MOVIECLIP1 : 1 to 0.8

And the transition is complete.
I feel that there must be a smarter way to accomplish this task. Do I have my head screwed on right here? Any suggestions?

I think that I posted this in the wrong forum... maybe an admin can move this to the AS3 section?
Anyway, in the absence of an answer, I coded the following, and it works pretty well. I had to round the alpha values to the tenths place.
YOURBUTTON.addEventListener
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void
    var _out1:Number = 1;
    var _out2:Number = 0.8;
    var _in1:Number = 0;
    var _in2:Number = 0.2;
while (_in2 <= 1)
    var MOVIECLIP1_out:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP1, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, _out1, _out2, 1, true);
    var MOVIECLIP2_in:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP2, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, _in1, _in2, 1, true);
    _out1 = int((_out1 - 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
    _out2 = int((_out2 - 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
    _in1 = int((_in1 + 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
    _in2 = int((_in2 + 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
