ActionScript 1/2 :: Updating An Existing Movie - MP3?

May 19, 2009

I am updating a movie created by a previous employer. It involves screen shots and voice overs.
There is a navigation bar at the bottom with scrubber, stop, next, etc.
 
I named the new screen shots the same as the old ones and imported them and everything works fine. But this doesn't seem to work with the voice overs. As soon as I save over an old mp3 with the new one, the nav bar no longer works.

Flash :: Professional - Updating PSD Files In A Movie

May 28, 2010

I'll start off by saying that I'm new to Flash. I'm using the CS5 Web Premium suite and want to publish an updated version of a Flash movie that contains PhotoShop files which I've recently modified. Unfortunately, when I open the .FLA file in Flash Professional CS5, it's not apparent to me how to do this. I don't see the PhotoShop files anywhere in the Library pane and thus can't figure out a way to update the Flash movie to recognize my newly modified .PSD files.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Put Movie Behind Existing Elements?

May 30, 2009

I am placing a movie clip in the swf by AS. In the resulting swf, It's hiding the buttons that are already on the stage. How do I get that movie clip to be behind other elements on the stage?

Here's the background and details: In Flash CS4, I have existing "Forward" and "Back" buttons on the stage, frame1 of the topmost layer Artwork, placed manually, nothing else on the stage.  I made a movie clip and it exists in the library but is not on the stage, it's called up via AS, which is in frame 1, actions layer (the layer below the artwork).

If I already have an existing movie, what is the best way to add a preloader to this movie?I have 1 frame with a few layers right now.  Then, I have some movie clips on frame 1  Should I just move everything to frame 2?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Open New Movie Clip From Existing One?

May 26, 2010

I'm trying to open a new window from a button in my main window and load a movie clip into it. I have not yet found a solution that works though. From the documentation I have found and tried:

Code:
loadMovie(filepath, this);

This works, but it replaces my existing one. I want a new window, so I tried to add:

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("chat_mc", 999);

This loads all the components from the movie clip ontop of my existing one, it gets it half way there sort of, lol. All in all this is what I have:

Code:
on (release) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("chat_mc", 999);
loadMovie("C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\Server.swf", chat_mc);
}

how I can get this to work? I would like two windows with two movies, the new one created on the press of a button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Existing Classes Of Movie Clips?

Oct 18, 2010

I've got 100 instances of a particular class of MovieClip on my stage, and I'm trying to find a way to get functions that affect them all. The obvious way to do this is through their common class, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to do it. Most of the tutorials I've found are about creating custom classes or creating new instances of classes. This isn't what I want to do, as I've already got all my instances on the stage already.

There are actually several things I want to use this for, but I'll just mention one for the sake of brevity.

I want to set the alpha of each MovieClip to 0 when I click on it. Here's the code I'm using for a single MovieClip at the moment:

ActionScript Code:
boxcover1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removecover1);
function removecover1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
boxcover1.alpha=0;
}

While this works perfectly, it means I'm going to have to repeat it 99 times, once for each MovieClip, and later on I need to do some more complicated stuff with it that 99 copies would make near-impossible to pull off. I'm hoping that by using the class ('box_cover') I'll be able to have this apply to every MovieClip on the stage.

ActionScript 1/2 :: How To Preload Multiple Scenes Within Existing Movie

Sep 2, 2009

However, I have a main movie and in there I open the multiple scenes. If I use the preloader alone with the scenes it works, but when I want to load the preloader that should open the scenes inside the main movie it doesn't do anything.

var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("magazine.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
[Code] .....

In the old situation I use a button goto frame - and on the frame there is actionscript that says:
stop();
loadMovie("magazine.swf", 'placeholder');
have changed that to
stop();
loadMovie("preloader.swf", 'placeholder');

Actionscript :: Flash: Apply A Script To An Existing Movie?

Jan 28, 2011

I have a working script on the one hand (in a working movie) and a flash movie on the other.The script handles a form, I changed the names of elements in the target movie as appropriate.The source movie contains only one layer and one frame. The target movie contains multiple layers and plays an animation before displaying the form.How do I go about making the script work on the target movie?

Edit:I've made some progress, the textfield works, but the button produces exceptions:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

The name of the button and the variable are the same.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A Variable To Reference An Already Existing Movie Clip?

Jan 28, 2009

I have been struggling with what I suppose is a very simple issue: I am importing content into my application via a text file, this all works fine. I have about 10 different movie clips on the parent timeline that I have hidden (dc_mc.visible = false.So what I need to do is take one of the variable names that I've got from my text file and use its value to "turn on" one of these hidden movie clips.So I'm trying stuff like:

var directory = e.target.data.directory; // Grabs the data, sets var
var raceNameButton:String = directory+"_mc"; // Set data into new var
raceNamesButton.visible = true; // display movie clip with var name

ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating Slider Thumb Position As Movie Clip Symbol Plays?

Feb 9, 2012

I would like to know if there is a way to update the position of the thumb on the Slider component when a movie clip plays. Currently I have a movie clip symbol on my stage with the instance name ShapeMC. It has about 10 frames or animation and two actions. the first frame has a stop action as does the last frame. The actions are on their own layer, separate from the actual animation. I also have the slider component in my library, but it is only there so I can reference it through AS3. My AS3 instantiates a variable of type Slider. I then define the properties, like the width, hieght, thumb size, minimum, maximum, as well as enabling livedragging. I did this so the user can drag the slider and move through the Movie Clip symbol. I added a button that allows the user to click it and autoplay the Movie Clip symbol (ShapeMC). All that works. What I would like to do is when I hit the play button, I would like to see the thumb on the slider move along the slider as the Movie Clip symbol (ShapeMC) plays. So if the Movie Clip symbol reaches frame 5, the slider thumb show be seen as being half way through the tread. I tried putting the currentFrame into the .value property of the slider, but that didn't do anything. No errors, but it didn't move the thumb at all.

AS2 :: IDE - Updating A Slider Bar

Aug 18, 2009

I am just learning AS3, and have no idea whatsoever about the differences between 2 and 3. There is a bit of code from [URL] that I wanted to update to use AS3, but it was written in AS2. Here it is:

[Code]....

I get twelve total errors (there are six buttons with a slider next to them, and there are 2 types of errors). The first is: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. The other is 1120: Access of undefined property _root. The key parts of the code (I think) are the button names, and slider_mc., a little black square that slides up and down the height of the menu. All of the buttons are button symbols, each with a unique name. I read that to fix the 1119 error, I can convert them to movie clips, but then they no longer function as buttons (which is sort of the point).

Professional :: Updating Images In An FLA?

Jun 14, 2011

This may sound simple but it's not at all from what I can tell. Hell it may be impossible but I might as well ask...Anyways, what I'm trying to ask for is a way to update the images embedded in an FLA somehow without having to manually re-import each individual file every time they get changed on the hard drive. We have a massive project with a large amount of FLA files, and having to manually re-import all of the images every time new things are committed to the repository is going to get rediculous very fast.

Is there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.
