Problem with a HTML5 canvas

[SiUsPlauTancat]

Hello all,

I m trying to convert my old AS3 animation in html5.

But i have a problem when i try to access from one children movieclip to my root timeline.

In as3 i did in the past with MovieClip(parent or root).

So my question is: how can i navigate and moving between different nested movieclip? is there some kind of instruction that do same as MovieClip do in AS3?

Hope my question is clear enough

Thanks a lot

you can use exportRoot or this.parent

So i want to read and check a variable that is on the "parent" moviclip but if i use 

this.parent.VN is not working.

i tried to print with console.log and return undefined.

Thansk for your reply

I had the same problem sometimes
Add

var root = this;

this.parent..........

And it works

i am trying with this :

this.parent.p2.val.text = " READY "  (this is ok p2 is a movieclip and val is a textbox) 

but if i try with

this.parent.xAx = "value 2" (var is a variable declared like this on parent clip  var xAx= "TEST")

and not working.

you're welcome.

Also I've tested with exportRoot and parent from the nested MovieClip symbol to the main timeline but it doesn't seem to work. There is a lot of wrong in the Adobe Animate program developing. It was much better before with Flash and Macromedia than Adobe.

you're almost certainly doing something wrong (eg, trying to access a variable/object before it's defined).

Above I enclose four pictures how I did in Animate
as I've done in my slideshow that you see. Here is the description:
In picture pic1.jpg I have put this.stop; as an action where i in picture pic2.jpg where put label pt in the same action.
In picture pic3.jpg has in layer the name image1 where in frame 142 I have the Movieclip object inxs.
In image pic4.jpg this is how Movieclip inxs looks where the last frame of the action codes says this.parent.gotoAndStop ("pt");
This not works in either Chrome och Microsoft Edge browser.

I hadn't unlocked it for everyone in Google Drive and so now it works.
