Very new to AS3. Sorry if this question is really basic, I tried looking around for the right answer but only found semi-related questions. Please help!!
Objective: I want multiple rollover MovieClips on the same stage that play out their animations independently.
So far, I have only 1 MovieClip object that behaves properly. If I add another, the first one behaves properly but the second doesn't appear at all. I understand that it's probably only calling the instance that I first dropped into the stage and that I need to change my code to have a "master" or parent MovieClip and that the instances should be the children, but I'm not sure how to write that in code. Eventually, the idea is that I add my children movieclips, and then slightly change the content in each clip.
My code so far:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
clip_boxes.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, clipOut);
clip_boxes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, clipOver);
function clipOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
clip_boxes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, clipOut);
clip_boxes.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,clipOver);
clip_boxes.gotoAndPlay("Over");
};
function clipOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
clip_boxes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, clipOver);
clip_boxes.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, clipOut);
clip_boxes.gotoAndPlay("Out");
};
