I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm loading an external jpg into an emptyMovieClip (AS1) on the _root timeline and I want to implement a preloader so when the jpg loads it fades in, not show up abruptly.
Here's my code:
Code:
// Load an external Image
function loadImage(imageFile) {
var imageFile;

I'm having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I'll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I've tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it's still not moving out of 0 position:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
my_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",2);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.loadClip("textgauge1.swf", my_mc.container_mc),{x_:371.6, y_:76};
Is it possible to attach some script to a dynamically created movie Clip?

Even when I give the "container" content with [.lineTo()], nothing continious to happen.
I guess it has something to do with the 'emptyness' of the mc, but how to solve?
I'm clearly not caffinated enough (or too much!) because I can't seem to place my emptyMovieClips where I want them.

View 5 Replieswhen you create an empty movie clip, the registration point is 0,0 as default, I read you can change this by defining the X&Y but my movie Clip's position is defined by stage width and height.Is there another way to define the registration point~?

I'm trying to create a scroller menu. The container movieclip will hold several copies of a clip in the library. So I'm trying to create the clip dynamically since it's width will be varying depending on the number of elements it contains.
But when I try to use the attachMovie method on my newly created empty movieclip, nothing shows up! The test_mc will attach if I just say _root.attachMovie, so I don't know if it's a path issue or if emptyMovieClips can't have other clips attached or what.
var emptyClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc", 9);
emptyClip._x = Stage.width / 2;
emptyClip._y = Stage.height / 2;
emptyClip._width = 300;
emptyClip._height = 300;
emptyClip.attachMovie("test_mc", "test_mc", 20);

View 1 RepliesI have 3 picture slideshows usings XML, the pictures will be changing form time to time that's why i needed it like this.Every slideshow is inside a folder, ej: gal1, gal2, gal3.In every folder i have the images, the flash file (gallery.swf) and the xml file.I have the main movie in wich i have a container where most data shows... and in wich i made an emptymovieclip, called "galMC" (now i know i could have used createEmptymovieclip, but maybe next time)[code]I have tried various methods but i always end up unloading "galMC"...the problme i think is that if i reload the container and click on another slideshow (gal2 or gal3), i see only the first image of the selected slideshow and then and then it starts showing the first slideshow that was loaded, so i guess i need to really UNLOAD that slideshow to load another and this is not hapenning.

View 1 RepliesI need to load several swf from several rollover on mcs instances. I create an empty mc as follow
[Code]....
It works ok, loads, unloads but of course the swfs all load at the same x and y positions. I need each loaded swf to have a different position each time there is a rollover... SO SO SO Do I have to create an empty movie clip ( container 2, 3 etc...) for each mc?
I have thumbs placed on the stage. I create an empty mc to load swf. But my thumbs disappear from the stage when I test the movie ( html or swf) if I settle the _ and _y position of the empty mc.why the emptymovieclip positions affect the positions of my thumbnails?
View 2 Replieshow to make text acting as a preloader so that its color changes as preloader percentage. i dont mean how to apply the math, i mean how to mask it or whatever action to achieve that effect?
like for example imagine the red is constantly growing to the right letter by letter (actually pixel by pixel:
I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.
I know it's possible i saw it on several websites does some one know how i can use a static text in preloader counting to 100%? For an example look at ILOVETECHNO.BE The preloader a heart use a static text i think it cannot be a dynamic text because the font is not a normal average one
