AS2 :: IDE : Image Swap Using XML?
Dec 1, 2008
I have a gallery featuring black & white images. I want the black & white image to change to a color version if the user rolls over the image. I've currently got the bw images to load into my flash with AS2 & XML. How do I get the image to change on rollover using XML?I figured out how to have the image if clicked go to a URL but am stuck on how to swap images instead. Can I have two images called out in the XML?
ACTIONSCRIPT
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
/////////////////
// Loading XML //
/////////////////
myXML = new XML();

Again I have a basic FLASH script problem. I would really appreciate help if someone has time. Can someone please help me out with the simple fla script for the following scenario:
1) 4 small images on the left. When mouse rolls over each one a separate larger image on the right changes. (similar i guess to a gallery with thumbnails).
2) If user likes what they see on image on right - they then click on that small image which takes them to a new page.
I can not for the life of me find the simple example. I have tried (using movie clip with four different frames and stop on each one - trying to call that from main - but then get stuck.) I'm really new to flash - really enjoying it - but getting stumped along the way!

I currently have this button set to change the color of little dots on it to black onRollover. However, in the photoshop button sent by the client, the dots look much better. How do i use actionscript to swap one movie clip for another in a smooth fade, like it's currently being told now?
clicker.onRollOver = function() {
this.look.dotarrow.colorTo(000000, 10);
this.look.dotarrow._alpha = 80;

I am pretty new to flash, so I apologize if I have posted in the wrong area or this is a redundant post, but I have plenty of experience with Photoshop, 3d rendering programs, and some experience with Dreamweaver.
I would like to create an "about us" portion of a website similar to: [URL]. It looks as though it is a series of disjointed swap images, but there must be some Flash involved, and if you click on the image of each person it also acts as a hyperlink. So, my question, could anyone point me in the correct direction of how I would create this for my website and to what degree of difficulty is involved.

I am trying to swap out one image for another in a Flash animation. On a mouse over, the want the new image (appb_mc) to appear OVER the existing image (appa_mc).I used the following code, but the new image keeps flashing. I am assuming it is because the new image is appearing OVER the existing image. If I have the new image appear other than over the existing image, it works fine. What can I do to make it work properly? These images need to be within the Flash file and not in an array.Actionscript I am using:
appb_mc.visible = false;
function showGraphic1(event:MouseEvent):void

I'm a beginner in flash actionscript. I want to basically swap images using actionscript. So if you click on a thumbnail, the main big image will change corresponding to the thumbnail being clicked. I don't want to use a simple on click go to and play actionscript... I'll try to paint a picture of what I'm trying to achieve.
There is a background image, middle ground and foreground image... people will have a selection of thumbnails to chose from to change these images (so they are creating their own big picture) Once the user clicks on a thumbnail for the background, the main image will change corresponding to the thumbnail.. and the same for middleground image and foreground image. I can acheive this in director using lingo but I am required to use flash and actionscript.

I have a project in which I have an opening scene of a main image and 8 thumbnail buttons. This opening scene is pretty basic, as the thumbnails would link to a new scene or frame label (however I build it). This 2nd scene or instance in the timeline is where I would display another large image, and 6 new thumnail images that, upon rollover, would swap the large main image with the large version of the active thumbnail.
Basically I have a main 'menu' of category thumbnails that link to an instance in the timeline that displays the initial large image for that category, and allows the user to mouseover the other thumbnails to see the large images, and then click to go to a specific URL for more information. The trouble I have with my rusty, limited AS knowledge is how to effeciently write the AS so that the image swap works. I quickly ran into a wall trying to acomplish this using a very OLD method that would require a LOT of jumping around the timeline.

What I'm looking to do is have an image swapped with another depending on the value of a variable, but I'd also like it to choose the image automatically.[code]...
what i want it to do is when a function is called if the var == 01 it will automatically swap that image with pic_01, if the var == 02 it will swap it with pic_02. However is there a way of doing this without having to actually write an if statement for each of the pics as there is going to be around 700 of them.

I have 170 images that I need to place on the same place on the left side of the stage and and have them move across the stage one at a time, increase in size and then fade out after 10 sec. The sequence then continues for all 169 images. My initial thoughts are to animate the first image inside a movie clip, duplicate it and swap the image. When I tried this it worked fine until the image had shape tweened to the larger size (at this point the image displays for 10 sec and fades out). At the key frame at this point the image changed back to the original one. What do I need to do to make the new image visible throughout the whole movie clip when I swap the image like this? Is there a better way to produce this type of animation? I am using Flash Professional 8 and quite new to the world of Flash and Action Script.

Extremely simple timeline. Simply want to fade one image to another.Created a keyframeadded a bitmap, converted it to a symbol, set the alpha of 1st frame to 100%, 2nd frame to 0% & tweened.Image fades to white -perfect.Create a new keyframe, set the alpha to 100%, try to swap the symbol to another bitmap I'd converted to a symbol.Doesn't work.Inspector always says "instance of symbol 1". Cannot use any other symbols except for this one?

I have a timeline animation that contains a movieclip of a yellow bouncing ball. I want to change the instance of the yellow ball to a yellow top hat and have the TopHat bounce up and down instead of the ball. Sort of like the Swap button in the Flash editor, but at runtime.The ball mc is called yball, and inside that is the mc I want to replace, called yellowBall. I also created an mc called TopHat and exported it for AS. Then I tried a few variations on something like this:
trace(yball.yellowBall); // Says the object is a MovieClip
var newHat:TopHat = new TopHat();
yball.yellowBall = newHat;
trace(yball.yellowBall); // Says the object is a TopHat
yball.addChild(newHat);
Before you ask, no, this isn't the actual project, but I need the same swapping behaviour.

URL...I've written everything to detect when colors and teeth are selected, but I cannot figure out how to swap one movieclip for another. Right now I'm not using an actual image, just colored squares. I've set up a movieclip variable that is named each color. Basically I'd like to click a color on the bottom, then each time I click a tooth have it swap whatever movieclip is already there for the one of the color I selected.[code]

I'm planning navigation for my new site (see screen grab of proposed navigation corner). I want the words to swap levels and appear in front of others on roll over.
OK, just found this tutorial [URL] but I put the buttons into the MCs.
*BUT* - I want them to return to their original positions on RollOut - is this possible. I tried duplicating the code but substituting rollover to rollout and set the parameter to 0 or 1 or 2 to make them go back to a level I want them at.

I have 4 tab movieClips (Suppose 1_mc,2_mc, 3_mc, 4_mc).Not 1_mc is on top and covering some part of 2_mc, same as 2_mc is covering some part of 3_mc, and 3_mc is covering some part of 4_mc.Now whenever i clicked any tab Movieclip. it should come on top of all MovieClips.
in AS2 there was a method swapDepths(This.getNextHighestDepth()) and by that we can swap current movieclip by all other MovieClips.So is there any code in AS3 also, which can swap child at once with all the Movieclips? I checked from setChildIndex and swapChildren too but its taking more length of code and complexity too, to understand which movieclips has to be swaped now?

ts an interactive gallery where when a photo is selected it plays the movie clip and the photo grows to fill the screne. The problem is, since the animations take part within the movie clips and all the movie clips exist on the same layer when they are selected and grow to fill the screne they are being hidden behind all the movieclips infront of it in that layer I know that there is an action to bring movieclips to the highestdepth or to front on click/release but i do not have a clue where to start

I'm using this code to swap different charts rendered in XML, but all that is happening is that they are piling on top of each other! How do I unload each one while another is loaded?Notes on the code: I have 52 different XML sheets to swap, all labeled Finance/"State Name".
Code:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, financeSelect,true)
function financeSelect(evt:MouseEvent)
{
[code]...
Overall, I'm not sure what you mean about putting in the charts by script.

I've followed a few tutorials on Swapping depths, but they all refer to swapping the depth by using behaviors such as onRelease etc.
I would like to swap a MovieClip with another, but i want to do it at a given point on a timeline as opposed to doing it through a behavior so the swap isn't immediate.
I tried using the following on a keyframe this.swapDepths(second_mc); but nothing happened, the movieclip just runs through
I've uploaded my test file here:
[URL]
As you can see each movie clip runs when you click it, but i also want it to swapDepth (so the second movieclip is now on top to be clicked).

*I can't post the file due to the company policy, so I'll do my best to explain. 3 movie clips: slide 1, 2, and 3. Each loads an external image.
Layers (how I have them set up):
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
The slides have a 3d feel, as if they are in the distance. When the user clicks one, the slide(mc) motion-tweens towards the screen, while the other 2 stay back. Obviously, if slide 2 comes towards the screen then slide 1 will be over top of it DUE TO layer structure (above). And of course, 1 & 2 will be over slide 3. To get around this I made a "current" layer over top of all the slide layers. So if I click on slide 2/3 then the tween is up on the "current" layer instead of the "slide 2/3" layer so that it's the highest.
