Within my onLoadInit() function, I am trying to stop the loaded clip from playing till a certain time. But when I do:
_mc.stop(); the clip just keeps playing. But _mc._alpha = 0, works as I cannot see the slip anymore.
I'm tyring to do some OOP coding but have trouble figuring out how to keep it all nice and clean. Observe the following class I've made:
Code:
class Link {
public var identifier:Number;
var xpos:Number;
[Code]....
The problem is that I can't access my class properties inside the onLoadInit event function. What is the good OOP way to access these properties?
I'm making a website using flash,And on my movie it says Welcome to Blah Blah Blah,And then a button appears, To make sure my button works,The writing turns to bold and goes bigger,When the button appears it works and goes bigger, Until it reaches the point in the timeline where it has stop();It stops my movie from looping or restarting which is what i want, But it stops my buttons from working aswell, How to keep my button working but movie stops,If you want me to explain more just ask
View 1 RepliesI am loading a few thumbnails from XML.When they load in, I want them to perform a few simple functions.However, when I load them in, Only the LAST thumbnail takes the onLoadInit() function.
Code:
function AttachThumbs(xmlData)
{
xmlNode = xmlData.firstChild.childNodes;
var total:Number = xmlNode.length;
[code]....
It's as if I need to create multiple loadListener objects.. one for each thumbnail, but I dont know how to do that when declaring a variable .. ie: one cant say:
Code:
var ["loadObject"+i]:Object = new Object();
I need to get the width and height of the image before it finishes loading with a moviecliploader instance. This is for placement of another clip, which will always load before the image. Is there any way of doing this??? onLoadStart does not give dimensions of the image.
how do I access a button within the emptymcholder, and place it at a specific position?? Is this possible??
I tried doing emptymcholder.buttonname._x, but it does not work.
I am using a moviecliploader object to load a clip into the timeline. I have a loader movieclip for the graphic placed on the stage. The idea is to gotoAndplay a certain frame as per the percent loaded so far.But the percent value is always 100. Is this because I am testing it on my local machine? But even so, shouldn't every trace fire, as percent value will fall in these categories sometime. The code within onloadInit is:

I am working on a full screen background with multiple images fading into each other. I already have something working with images that are loaded from inside the library. you can see it here: linkNow I am working on a script to dynamically load the images via FlashVars.I have the folowing function, witch gets called the moment I want to load the second image and replace it with the first. The idea is to start the putImage function the moment the image is loaded, but i cant get the loader.onLoadInit to triger.

The onLoadInit is broadcasted before the target is indeed initialized.Searching about this, I founded at the macromedia documentation that other developers are having the same problem,

I'm using cacheAsBitmap to create a gradient mask. The code I set up worked great and all was well but I soon discovered problems when cacheAsBitmap was being nullified when its parent mc was loaded into another mc. I read up on it and from what I understand, since I'm using the MovieClipLoader class, this code should be included in onLoadInit in the root mc (start_mc). Basically this is what I have: start_mc loads main_mc (target) and rollMask1 and roll1 are contained within main_mc. Here's the script for onLoadInit:

I have a function that I use to load images. I center align the images after loading by using loadClip() and attaching the function that centering to the onLoadInit event. The problem I'm having is that the centering stop working when I upload the flash movie to a webserver. I was also able to replicate this when I Test the movie and then go to View->Simulate Download.
Here is the function in question:
Code:
Select allfunction displayImage( img ) {
// trace('displayImage()');
// lets mave the container invisible before loading the clip
_root.mcLargePhoto.centerPhoto._alpha = 0;
_root.mcLargePhoto.createEmptyMovieClip("centerPhoto",this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// trace('onLoadInit()');

Generally, I like to use onLoadInit because it gives me accurate widths and heights. But when I have an external SWF file with a video embedded in it, I find that onLoadInit always fires a second or two after the video has started playing.

This has been bugging me for about 2 months now. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way, but I need to create more things in the onLoadInit function using a for-loop.
I have a problem with some code. Its in the else statement below. Essentially I am trying to make sure I can read in the mc._height value before I continue with the code, I use a listener to check that I can get the value which I can,however it seems to do all the code after the loadListner.onLoadInit function before this function.

How do I add the onLoadInit function to go to frame 5 after loading all the swfs?
In a setup like this is it possible to check the cumulative status of all onLoadInit?

Initially I was thinking that I could pass an array of Boolean's, but I'm not really sure where to add that checkpoint, because a flash frame doesn't keep looping. Would I have to add it to an onEnterFrame()?

I need someone to look at my clip for me and tell me why it's not working. I have the stop(); in frame one and the last frame, I just don't understand.I can't attach the file here because i only have winrar and winzip 12 (which creates a .zipx - which won't upload...i tried)
View 1 RepliesI am using movieClipLoader to load external swfs via xml. I am trying to set it up to automatically play the next movie after the current swf is done. The problem is, after the current swf is done playing, the actionscript tries to load all the rest of the swfs in the xml file and not just the next one. So it ends up playing the last swf in the xml file. I added "delete this.onEnterFrame" but still not working.. see code below

So, I'm working on a presentation/site that houses multiple sections being loaded in as individual swfs. I have each section shoot to a preloader frame first that is set (with PreloadAssetManager) to preload multiple FLVs and the SWF itself.If I select a new section while the current one is loading, it does the correct process of switching sections and shooting back to the preloader, but then the preloader itself just stops working completely. If I try to access any section, it just sits at a blank preloader. of thing.
View 1 RepliesI created a movie with several nested movie clips. within these movies are stop actions to prevent the clips from playing at the wrong time. I created the gotoAndPlay/stop functions to play these clips at certain points of the animation. Now at first these actions worked smoothly and exactly as i wanted, however after several test movies, some of the gotoandplay/stop functions stoped working. Has ne 1 ever ecounterd this problem is there a way repair these actions without recreating the whole movie? i tried rewritting the scripts and still does not work.
