Reach or send infomation to an movieclip

[webscriptprogrammer]

I try to send some information from a movieclip to another movieclip.

I use two scrollpane (scroller and scroller2) that I control two movieclip (mc1 and mc2)

I use a asfunction in a movieclip and that send to a function in the other movieclip.

I have try so many address I can get but nothing.
I have try now in two days.

I have try

asfunction:mc2.MyFunc,1

asfunction:_root.mc2.MyFunc,1

asfunction:_parent._parent.mc2.MyFunc,1

asfunction:_parent.mc2.MyFunc,1

I have no idea right now :-(

What information are you trying to send from one movie clip to the other, and why an asfunction?

is just some name of category.

I use asfunction because I like to create textmenu basic and dynamic

<a href='asfunction:_parent._parent.MyFunc,"+category+"'>"+category+"</a>

 

[oldnewbie]

Ok... Now what does your function look like?

Right now is just basic because I like to see if I can send information to the other movieclip

function MyFunc(cat) {
	trace(cat);

}

 

[oldnewbie]

So where is this function defined? Within the second movie clip, which is the content clip of a scrollpane?

Why don't you define the function on the main timeline and once you get it working there, then simply pass that variable to the second mc in that scrollpane?

First, the proper syntax should be...

"<A HREF="asfunction:myFunc,category">Category</A>"

Then the function should be defined on the main timeline's first frame...

function MyFunc(cat) {
trace(cat);
}

The problem is that I'm not so god in actionscript but I trying and read very much information.

Only time I can make the asfunction to work is when the asfunction and the other function is at the same place.

I have even try to see if I can send information from the main timeline in to the movieclip but nothing happen.

I have problem to find right address to the function.

I have two movieclip because that is two menu and I need scrollfunction to both

 

[webscriptprogrammer]

I have try now but still nothing happen.
seem to be hard to send to a function inside a movieclip??

Can you post a link to your .fla & text file (if one is used), zipped up?
Or maybe mail it to me? You'll find my address if you hit Oldnewbie above this post.

Here is a example

[webscriptprogrammer]

forgot http://

[oldnewbie]

text_mc.html = true;
text_mc.htmlText = "<a href='asfunction:[b]_level0.scroller.spContentHolder[/b].MyFunc,1'>menu 1</a><br><a href='asfunction:[b]_parent._parent.scroller.spContentHolder[/b].MyFunc,2'>menu 2</a>";

No linebreaks in the above second line... It's all one continuous line.

Works fine with both different paths. The absolute (_level0...) and the relative one (_parent...).
