I'm working on a project. I have a menu.swf and a index.swf. The index.swf is a file containing a movie clip named: contens in that movie clip i have the first frame to load another movie called main.swf into level 10.
How do I make a button in the menu.swf file unload the movie inside the container called contens and then load another movie?? I can't seem to figure it out.
I know very little about Flash so I apologize in advance for asking what is possibly a dumb question, although I did a fair bit of research before posting. Our current Flash app, written in AS3.0, is able to display a standard OS browse dialog for the purpose of allowing a user to select files. We are using [URL] to display this dialog.
The documentation for FileReferenceList states that only files could be selected. The new requirement is to allow the user to select directories as well as files. Afterward it would be very nice, but not required, to be able to get a recursive list of all the files in the selected directory. Is it possible to implement this in Flash running inside a browser? The closest I've seen so far is [URL] which does what I want but it only seems to work inside Adobe AIR and is not exposed to the browser.
Is it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.
View 3 RepliesHow do you call functions that are located in an external .as file? I created an action script file that I have saved in the same directory as my swf. In the file I have two functions that I would like to be able to call in my swf when someone rolls over a button.
Here is my .as file (Rollover.as):
Code:
class Rollover extends MovieClip {
function Brass() { // function for loading the brass symbol sound
brass = new Sound(this);[code]....
Within my swf I have two mp3 files, brass_click.mp3 and thoup_click.mp3, and I have set their linkage properties to "export to actionscript" with their respective names. I also have a set of buttons that I would like to play the mp3 files on rollover.On my buttons I have the following code:
Code:
on(rollOver){
Brass();
}
That is about it. How come it doesn't work? I know that I am close...

i am having with xml being displayed in flash mx.the tutorial on this site works fine, but when i write my own xml file and modify the as, i encounter the problems. ideally, i wolud like to be able to load text files and urls of images to be loaded into flash, flash recognises the xml file fine and actually loads it, however, when i try to use the nodeValue action, i am always given the value "null." this is because flash thinks the node is an element rather than a text node (type 1 rather than 3, when you use nodeType.) i don't know why it does this when it is obviously a text node.

If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
[Code]...
i want to do this:
on (release) {
_root.nextMovie = "externalmovie.swf";
_root.cover.gotoAndPlay("close");
[code].....
Code is
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
import Proxy;
Following is the class definition.
class XMLLoad extends EventDispatcher{
public var XML_NODE_TYPE_TEXT = 3;
public var XML_NODE_TYPE_ELEMENT = 1;[code]....
These are the functions. in the class.
I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?

I installed Flash CS4 Professional trial version for school use. It wouldn't install successfully. I deleted the font files the troubleshooting guide said to, tried again, but gave up. (I'm afraid to run regedit and mess up everything else I have loaded.) (I previously had the Fireworks CS4 trial version loaded, then uninstalled it.) My problem is this- I have it running, but it saves files and then they can't be opened, even if I use the save function often- it's worse when I create the file, test the movie and then save.If I try to open it again, it says "cannot open file." Once it opened a copy I had saved, and it appeared blank, even though it was 544 kb file size. I only need it for a few more days, one more assignment and I'm afraid my previous files are corrupt. I have Windows Vista Home Edition.

I am constructing a Flash animation and I was hoping to build it by scenes. These scenes would be individual SWF movies that I could import into my final Flash file in consequential order and when finished I would have a completed Flash Movie. There would be no interaction beyond Play/and replay. Where can I get information on how to construct this and is this a recomended way to do it?

How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?
View 7 RepliesI created a complex fixed line and a bird flying on the line using tweens from point A to B to C. When I view the birdline in play or by scrubbing across them in the layers mode, the bird follows the line just as designed. When I test the birdline in "test Scene" or "test movie" one bird flies from point A to C, then another bird appears at point B and flies the course to point C. The published .swf and .html do the same as the test functions. What can I do to get the published version to behave the same as the design?
