1120: Access of undefined property your_movieclip. that is what i am getting...


under the AS code:


public function onSubClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
your_movieclip.gotoAndPlay(Number(e.currentTarget. linkURL));


on my main fla:

i have an empty movie clip with the instance of : your_movieclip

and this code on frame 5:

var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("p2.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);

and the xml :

<menuItem name="About Us" linkURL="2" target="" subMenu="1">

   <subMenuItem name="Our Team" linkURL="5" target="" />

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?


thanks in advance for your time.

There's a space between the . and link, not sure if that just for what you did on the forum.

...get. linkURL));
       
      /\

How are you accessing the xml, and what is the subclick function attached to?

hi, thanks for replying... i m new to flash as3, so bare with me..

here is the code i have to access the menu in my main fla:

import classes.*;

var menu:MovieClip = new MenuHoriz();
menu.x = 0;
menu.y = 3;
addChild(menu);

not sure about your other question..

how can i upload the files so you understand it better?

[lucca08]

this is the submenu as file.....
but the code i was changing was under the horizontal menu .as

package classes {
	
	// Required import statements
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
	import flash.text.*;
					
	// Defines the Sub Menu Item class as an extension of the MovieClip class
	public class SubMenuItem extends MovieClip {
	
		var linkURL:String;
		var linkTarget:String;
					
		// SUB MENU ITEM CONSTRUCTOR
		public function SubMenuItem(itemColor, shadowColor, itemname, itemLinkURL, itemLinkTarget) {
			linkURL = itemLinkURL;
			linkTarget = itemLinkTarget;
			
			// Establish text formatting and settings
			var submenufont:Font = new MenuFont();
			var subitemTxtFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
			subitemTxtFmt.font = submenufont.fontName;
			subitemTxtFmt.color = itemColor;
			subitemTxtFmt.size = 10;
			
			var subitemTxtFld:TextField = new TextField();
			subitemTxtFld.defaultTextFormat = subitemTxtFmt;
			subitemTxtFld.selectable = false;
			subitemTxtFld.multiline = false;
			subitemTxtFld.text = itemname;
			subitemTxtFld.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
			
			subitemTxtFld.embedFonts = true;
			subitemTxtFld.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
			subitemTxtFld.thickness = 0;
			subitemTxtFld.sharpness = 0;
			
			addChild(subitemTxtFld);
			
			// Add a subtle drop shadow to the text
			var ds:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(1, 45, shadowColor, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
			subitemTxtFld.filters = [ds];
		}
	}
}

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but in your orginal post you are clearly referencing an XML value. I don't see any XML specific code here.

My initial question was "What is this function attached to?"

public function onSubClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
        your_movieclip.gotoAndPlay(Number(e.currentTarget.linkURL));
}

[lucca08]

sorry.. that function is attached to the class file.

[lucca08]

GOT IT!!

this is what i inserted instead....

MovieClip(root).movies.gotoAndPlay(Number(e.curren tTarget.linkURL));

and it worked.. well.. sort of.. i got a new error.. 1009...
ill post that in another tread.. thanks for your time!
