My container (emptyMC) will load 4 external movies and loop as default when someone comes to the site.
Right now the code for the empty mc (emptyMC) is:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();this.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMC",1);loader.loadClip("image1.jpg",emptyMC);

Basically I have a media gallery loading xml through a document class. I have buttons set up to load different Movieclips from the library, and inside these movieclips is the media gallery with the xml.
My question is.. What can I use for my buttons that can replace the default "xml path"?
Like in a way of "deleting the default xmlPath" and over riding it with a new one?
Here's the code on the stage of the fla, with different buttons...
ActionScript Code:
/*
These Variables are different MovieClips for the building to load
Choose based on your liking
*/
[Code].....
In this script, each time the user press the space bar, a new picture is displayed
(in my real application, the picture is taken from a database. Here for this example a static picture is OK) If the picture doesn't exist, a default picture is loaded.
Here is the corresponding code, each time you press the space bar, the "test.png" picture is loaded If it isn't present, it loads ""noscreen.png""
I thought that it was working correctly (even if I had a doubt on a potential loop problem in the function, since a new picture load was called when I'was already in the loader) Anyway, this seemed to work...until I discovered that if the "noscreen.png" was missing too...the CPU began to fly off!
You can do the test by yourself, watching the task manager, press on the space bar continually
1) with the "noscreen.png" present...no problems
2) with the "noscreen.png" missing, the CPU flies..and never get down!
I suppose that this is because it looks after a "test.png" picture, then has the instruction to load a "noscreen.png" if it's missing ...but this last file is missing itself...so it's looping continually...isn't it?
How would you do to load a picture, and subsitute it by another one if missing
...with the fact that this last one could miss from the user PC (oh, yes...it will be a projector app) too and it that case it must be skipped simply
Code:
MC_loader = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
MC_loader.addListener(preload);

I have added this code to a button in my flash file. When the viewer presses the button a external .swf file will load. The problem is how do I specify where it loads. For example, when the viewer hits the button the external swf file default loads at 0,0. If I want it to load somewhere else on the page is there a way to make it load at a certain specified location? Here is the code I am using on the button.
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}
Now this works fine and the swf file is loaded correctly but it is always at the top left corner. How can I go about loading it in a specific place on the flash file? Is there a way to create a holder that would make it load in that certain area?
I have movie clips I'm attempting to hide/show on click of seperate links... with one of the movie clips loading on default. My problem is, when I click the button to show the "non-default" movie clip, the default movie clip is still visible.I can't attach links or images to this post but if you're able to assist me I will try sending via PM's

I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?
I need to click on a button that is on an external swf loaded in the main movie with a loader. I'm trying this but does not work:
// main movie
function openswf(queFoto:String)
{
imgLoader = new Loader();
[Code].....
First of all, right now I have 2 buttons, which are defined as buttons. Clicking on button1 loads swf1, clicking button2 unloads swf1 and loads swf2. Heres the basic code for that transition which is pasted ON the button...
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.loadMovie("F2.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "F2") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.play();
}}}
This works like a charm, no problems. The problem I am having is that I need the button (which will eventually be a part of an animated drop down menu) to have more functionality. When I try to make a movieclip button, no variation of this code above will work to load the swf. I am totally lost. Here is the latest incarnation of the movie clip button code. This version is in the timeline, but I've tried variations directly on the movie clip as well
mc_HeightTest.onPress = HeightMovie
function HeightMovie(){
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.loadMovie("F2.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "F2") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.play();
}}}
Why the code pasted on the button will not work when its used in conjunction with a movie clip button?
I was getting in to transitioning from AS2 to AS3 a while back and had designed a page that had menu buttons that when clicked, loaded an external swf in to a container. Pretty simple accept for the fact that it was a while ago and my computer crashed so I'm having to redo this and learn it all over again. I have read in to flash on the subject but I am not to sure on the best way to go about this. I know there are a lot of people on here who make thing a lot more simple and structured than I do. I'm so used to putting the actionscript on the button and I'm a little stuck on the best way to combine the actionscript for the button and loading the swf. I would need to make a button load an external swf in to a container when clicked? I figure I just need one and then I can copy it to all the other menu buttons.
View 2 Repliesis there any way of replacing a blank clip with an external image. I'm looking to place them in a certain position on my site, but I want to keep the main SWF at a small size.
View 5 RepliesI have created buttons with this Actionscript. They load in the external swf's fine, but when I click on them again they load them in again, and again, and again... What do I need to write in the code so it loads in fresh everytime you click on the button? (or in other words, cleans up the load in page before it loads in new files).

i have a flash file with a scrollpane. into this scrollpane i have loaded an external swf. how would i be able to get the external swf to change between frames when you click on a button within in it? it works perfectly as a stadalone file but whenever i load it into the scrollpane it stops working edit: i just realised, this might eb the wrong forum to post this in, should it be posted in the "flash mx 2004" forum?

i found a script that unloads my external swf inside a movieclip when i click a button on my main screen. this script causes the external flash inside my moviclip to close and unload when i click the close button, which is what i want!. the only pain in the butt is it preloads the external flash when you go the flash site and i dont want that. i only want the script to close the external swf. if anyone is curious book.swf is the swf in the movieclip i am trying to close.[code]

I am loading swfs into a movie clip. However, the contact button is not a loaded swf any longer. It's in the main flash page. This is what I want to do.

Below is the code for the contact button and the one under for one of the other buttons.

I'd been following several answers to similar problems with no luck at all, so i decided to try asking by myself:I have a page with several links that have to load data via Ajax using jquery and put the response inside a div. The main "tab" is a flash wich is inside a layer.Every time a user clicks on any of those links, flash container is resized to 0px and set visibility to hidden (trying to prevent the reload behaviour if display is set to none).
All works just fine EXCEPT the first time you click on any link that hides flash layer. In that particular case (only in Firefox) it resets the flash to initial state. I'm going nuts about this..

Scenario: InputTF, button MC, and a dynamicTF on the stage. What I want to do:When a user inputs text into the inputTF and presses the button, any spaces are replaced with _ and the "string" is placed in the dynamicTF. EG: I type "this is an example" into the InputTF. I then press the button. The dynamicTF now reads "this_is_an_example" You might be able to see how useful this kind of process is for many projects. Plus, I'm super curious
