MovieClip 505
Example
The following example displays information about the movie clip that receives input focus,
and the instance that previously had focus. Two movie clips, called
my_mc
and
other_mc
are
on the Stage. Add the following ActionScript to your AS or FLA document:
my_mc.onRelease = Void;
other_mc.onRelease = Void;
my_mc.onSetFocus = function(oldFocus) {
trace("onSetFocus called, previous focus was: "+oldFocus);
}
When you press the Tab key between the two instances, information is displayed in the
Output panel.

onKillFocus (MovieClip.onKillFocus handler)
onUnload (MovieClip.onUnload handler)
onUnload = function() {}
Invoked in the first frame after the movie clip is removed from the Timeline. Flash processes
the actions associated with the onUnload event handler before attaching any actions to the
affected frame. You must define a function that executes when the event handler is invoked.
You can define the function on the Timeline or in a class file that extends the MovieClip class
or is linked to a symbol in the library.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Example
The following example defines a function for the
MovieClip.onUnload
method that sends a
trace()
action to the Output panel:
my_mc.onUnload = function () {
trace ("onUnload called");
}
_parent (MovieClip._parent property)
public _parent : MovieClip
A reference to the movie clip or object that contains the current movie clip or object. The
current object is the object that references the
_parent
property. Use the
_parent
property to
specify a relative path to movie clips or objects that are above the current movie clip or object.
