This is my final project for a multimedia class I have, a link of which is here[URL]...Basically, I have a movie clip instance (loader_mc). I have the buttons loading external swfs with this code:
[Code]...
I went through Claudio's preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([URL]). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can't get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called "content". And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names!
View 7 RepliesI have flash movie that I'm loading other movieclips and swfs into.At the moment when I load in a new swf, the timeline plays through the intro sequence, then when I select new content to load into replace it the movie simply vanishes without showing the outro sequence.It's been puzzling me for a while now but i've seen it used on many flash sites so i'm guessing there's definately a way to do it.
View 4 Repliesi was wondering could somebody tell me what code would i use to hide a movie clip?
mcYouWin.visible = "false";
didn't work, but that was just a guess at the code lol.
Could anybody tell me what the code is to hide and show a movieclip with the name "mcYouWin"
I'm trying to display an image in a movie clip where the location of the image is derived from an xml document. I'm creating a menu from XML nodes and when the user selects that menu item a separate movie clip is updated with the XML information which corresponds to the menu items nodevalue. In my xml i have an image location defined and I want this to happen... when the user selects the menu item the node value for the image location dynamically loads the image into the movie clip.
View 1 RepliesSo I'm making a game and I want the background to be blurred. I did that, and I see it blurred, but when testing the movie in SWF form, there's no blur effect on it... this never happened before.
The only thing I can possibly think of is that the background, along with everything else, is programmed to move when you press the arrow keys... could filters possibly just be removed if you program it to move?? I'm using Flash 8 with AS2.
I have a movie clip that has an image on it.
I want to dynically open this movie clip and move it to a specific location (x,y) on the main timeline on top of everything else.
Then I want to draw lines on that new movie clip that display on top of the image on that movie clip.
how to draw the lines, (well at least I think I do)
Code:
_root.audiogram.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000, 100);
_root.audiogram.moveTo(0, 0);
_root.audiogram.lineTo(200, 150);
_root.audiogram.lineTo(100, 50);
I also need to be able to clear the lines that are drawn.

Here is what i want to do contextually. I am making an interactive skeletal diagram of a back, each vertebrae is an independent button. As each button is rolled over, i want a box next to the button to show with the name of the vertebrae inside it.
How I am trying to do it:Each button is independent, as inside it is a bitmap picture of the skeletal section. All of the boxes are instances of a single movie clip located on the same timeline level as the buttons.. instances named BBox1, BBox2... through BBox26. Inside each movie clip i have a symbol that is the box named 'sbox' which is the graphic box that pops up and in the layer above a dynamic text box, named 'ttext' which is populated at runtime with the proper text to reference the button.
I am easily able to reference each sbox symbol individually from outside the movie clip... i.e._root.skel.BBox1.sbox._alpha = 0;.
I am not having the same luck with the ttext dynamic text. I am wanting to set the text inside each instance of BBox progmatically, but the text will not show unless i set it to static and type it manually before compile(in which case the text for all 26 boxes is the same). I have tried all methods of reference, even prepopulating the dynamic text box with text before compiling and it still shows nothing. This does not seem like a coding issue but a use of dynamic text inside a replicated movie clip with unique instance names.
On some sites i have seen usually portfolio or gallery type sites there are thumbnails, text or some shape that you click on to view a particular image. What I'm getting at is some of the sties show visually that the clip has been loaded with change of alpha (images that are not loaded greyed out and ones that have already been loaded are in colour etc..). An example of what i'm talking about is on [URL] When you click on the menu (selection uno), it loads a particular clip, and throughout the session on the site, u can tell which ones have been loaded and have not. I know there are probably many down and dirty ways of achieving this, but i know there is usually 1 or 2 'proper' methods for doing a particular thing.

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

I have loaded an external swf into the movie clip 'image1' on the stage. Once the swf has loaded into 'image1', is there any way I can seamlessly move the content from 'image1' to movie clip 'image2' (on a different layer and position on stage.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a website for my Spa but having difficulty getting reservation buttons to work with a content movie clip.I set it up in four layers (from top) AS3, Page, Content, and Background. In Page layer is where I named each page like home, about us, full body treatments, and so on. There are a total of 9 pages one of which is the reservation page. In the "full body treatment page" I place a reservation button that I want to lead to "reservation page". I have been searching for days now on how to optimize this reservation button to go to the "reservation page".
View 9 RepliesI've just start working on a project whereby the site will be entirely in flash, have a nav panel down one side, and a content panel down the other. I want some subtle animations on the content as each page is selected (either scroll or fade out) but as each page will have a different background, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.
My current thinking, would be to put all the 'pages' in one movie clip, animated with each having a fadein, then stop, then a fade out. When a link is pressed, it would play until it encounters a 'stop' (hence, the fadeout frames), then jump to the fade in animation for the link that was clicked.With being new to Flash though, I just thought a) I'd check to see if this is the given way to do this, or if there is a better, standard way, and b) if anyone can give me any tips on coding it. I would imagine it would be onPress(function), then the two instructions?.
I have created an application that lets the user dynamically edit the content of an online greeting. I want the application to be able to duplicate the edited greeting 4 times, so the printed page will contain 4 exact duplicates.
I tried using duplicateMovieClip, but it would not duplicate the dynamic content edited on runtime.
I was able to use attachBitmap and "capture" the screen content, only to find out the resolution of the duplicates was far from being acceptable (I guess because screen resolution is only 72 dpi, and I need it to print nicely).
I have some code that vertically scrolls my movie clip "content_mc".[code]the problem is my movie clip is behind a mask and not alone on the stage so the content_mc scrolls regardless of weather the curser is over the movie clip or anywhere else on the stage.Is there a way to contain this movement to when the curser/mouse is over the "content_mc" only?URL...If you moue over the bottom right the movie clip moves and then the same over the top right, I just want it to scroll with the mouse over the "content_mc" movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI need a way to copy the content of one movie clip (with many frames) into another dynamically using as3. I have created one mask container and i am filling it with the images from xml i.e. MovieClip(root).myContainer.forward.imageContainer .addChild(myspriteImage). How can i dinamicaly dublicate the movieclip myContainer with all child in it, so i could dinamicaly put ieach image in each container?

I'm trying to keep a fresh copy of my loaded swf's in the loader.content while I use a copied version in my main swf. What I'm trying to do is make a slide show using a master swf to load many other slide swfs. The first time through each swf plays just fine but the second time through there can be problems with eventListeners, etc so I want to trash each slide when I'm done with it and get a fresh copy when the user wants to see it again. I've done this utilizing the cache in the browser but I'd rather use the method below.
I saw this code from: [URL] that allows you to copy movie clips so I should be able to do that with this method but I'm clueless how other then cutting and pasting code and praying that it works.
Security.allowDomain("*");
var myMovie:Sprite;
var l:Loader = new Loader();

I'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.
This is what I've tried so far:
var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);
Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.
I have a series of images (movie clips) inside a container movie clip.I need to somehow scroll those images within the clip left and right with buttons rather than a scroll bar.
View 7 RepliesSo as to make things less confusing (I had a lot of different layers), I made each scene in my animation in its own file. Now I want to put them in the same file, so I thought I could make everything in one file into a movie clip and put it into another file that way.
However, it doesn't seem to work! I can highlight everything, convert it, and paste it into the other file... but when I paste it, it only pastes the first frame of my highlighted selection! How can I convert the whole thing into a movie clip instead of just one frame?
I got an issue and i can not figured out why this utton not working. So. Here is the code which i use to navigate between pages:

I want to do something like gotoAndPlay(frame label) for a movie clip with the instance name content. I am using an array for my buttons placing multiple instances of the button mc on the stage. When I add content.gotoAndPlay I get an access of undefined property error. If I add it inside the parenthesis I get an expecting identifier before my frame label name error.

I have a blank movie clip on the stage with drag and drop capabilities and it works fine!!
That is, until i call the loadmovie() function and attach an image into the empty movie clip.
why the movie clip is no longer draggable when content is loaded into it?
Code:
function downloadImage(file:Object):Void {
var Pic = "./files/" + file;
loadMovie(Pic, "_root.imageLoader");

I have read all threads and can not find a solution but i am not somebody with a lots of knowledge about actionscript so here is my problem i am using this script .
[code]....
the problem is that when i click on the first button loads ok but when click on second still showing the first movie clip in the back ,,,,, i have try everything without luck ,,,, i guess i need to keep reading but will like to find an answer to this situation ,
Whenever I open a new movieclip in Flash, the stage size is distorted (should be a 600 x 450). It should be a rectangle and be placed in the middle of the screen. Instead, when I open a new movie clip, the stage is placed all the way to the left of the screen and I only have pasteboard on the right hand side. Because of this, I can't see the entire stage
View 4 RepliesI have created a movie clip button but am stuck with the actionscript. I have created the rollover and rollout for this movie clip button but i want it to do 2 things after this i want it to go and stop on the first frame of a movieclip which has my content on it called portfoliogallery_mc (which is also the same instance name for it) when you then click the button i want it to go and play frame 11 of that movie clip portfolio gallery_mc. Here is my current actionscript i HAVE Flash 8 on my comp that i am currently using. Please note my actions are on a layer called actions and not on the movieclip button itself. nxtimagetwo_mc (is the movie clip button/instance of mc)

I'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :
Code: Select alltrace(MovieClip(root)[screenMode]);
But this doesn't work too.
