Have a problem with child movie clip control

[Petr_Tarasov]

Hi

have child animation in Movie Clip on main stage

but can not  control it

this.MovClip.stop();

or

this.MovClip.gotoAndPlay();

does not work

[kglad]

you have a parent moveclip with instance name MovClip?  if so and it has a child with instance name c, try:

this.MovClip.c.stop();

if that fails because the code is on the first keyframe that contains MovClip, try

createjs.Ticker.addEventListener('tick',f.bind(this));

function f(){

this.MovClip.c.stop();

createjs.Ticker.removeAllEventListeners('tick');

}

Not exactly so

main timeline-MovieClip with instanse name MovClip

inside MovClip another parts of animation

How can to stop MovClip inside animation

I  expected that this.MovClip.stop();

will stop timeline playing of MovClip inside animation

[kglad]

what do you mean by, "inside MovClip another parts of animation"?

either that animation is on MovClip's timeline or a nested movieclip/graphic on MovClip's timeline.  if it's a nested graphic, you can't control it with script.  if it's a nested movieclip, you need the path or some other way to access the nested object.

I take it that you are doing HTML5 Canvas. If you have a line like this:

this.MovClip.stop();

as the first thing in the first frame that MovClip exists, the script runs before MovClip has appeared. It would simpler to go into MovClip and put:

this.stop();

in its first frame. Or, put the this.MovClip.stop(); into the second frame that it exists in the main timeline.

Two Examples

in first tested attempt to stop animation

in second  to gotoAndPlay animation

Thanks kglad , Colin Holgate.

"the script runs before MovClip has appeared" if so it makes things more clear.

try:

createjs.Ticker.addEventListener('tick',f.bind(this));

function f(){

if(this.MovClip){

this.MovClip.c.stop();  // or do whatever. eg if(this.MovClip.c){this.MovClip.c.stop();}

createjs.Ticker.removeAllEventListeners('tick');

}

}
