I wondered if there was a way to have a few buttons load different xml docs into a single frame. Basically, I've got an image gallery, and I'd like to click a button and have a new xml doc load in and replace the existing. I know I could do this by just putting each gallery section on a frame, placing a load command on each frame for each xml doc, but I wondered how to do this on just one frame?
View 1 RepliesI created a button with some roll over effects added some load movie action to load external movie.swf file, everything works perfect except I need about 12 same buttons but with different loadMovie command I mean to load different swf files. so what I did to make it fast I copied the first button and pasted it 12 times so I made 12 nice buttons, but the problem I have is that when I change button 2 load movie settings it automatically changes every button, so I am a little frustrated,

i have a textbox. i want to load the movie clip without button. How i can do that?
I'm using a test file so I can see how a full website is going to work. I've got 5 layers:Background, title, menu, main contents, Actions.I have an empty movieclip that I call "contents-main". And it is placed in the proper location.On Frame 1 of the Actions panel, I have loadMovie("760-250-main.swf", "contents-main"); This works fine and loads the movie into the empty clip.On the menu layer, I have a button. What I want to do is click on that button and havea different movie load into the movieclip called "contents-main". I have tried everything on the tutorials that I can find and nothing will work.I also tried putting different variations and also putting the unloadMovie before loadMovie statement.

I've gone fully gray trying to learn how to do something in AS3 that was routine in AS2: Unloading (if something's already there) something from a movie clip then loading something in the same clip, all with the same button. Here's the code I'm using, er, attempting to use now. These are for two buttons out of a set of 9. All I'm trying to do is the simple: look to see if there's something in the clip "hovercap", and if so, remove it completely;, then load a new movie. (If there ISN'T something in "hovercap", I want to load a new movie anyway.
invisible_mvp1800c.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_DOWN, loadImage); {
function loadImage(url:String):void {
if(imageLoader != null && contains(imageLoader)){
removeChild(imageLoader);

Clearly, I'm still learning things in AS 3.
I am starting off by creating a very very basic flash document, with about 10 frames in it, just to get myself used to controls etc. i have got my buttons working to go from one frame to the next, and i am now wondering how to make a button load a movie clip, the movie clip is actually just a circle i drew and converted, but i would like this to be invisible, and then to load, or "play" when a button called "1" is clicked
View 4 RepliesI have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.

All of my button actions look like:
home_btn.onRelease = function(){

I have read numerous threads but for some reason can't find a fix for this.

Im trying to load a movie using a button. I just want the button, when hit, to load an external .swf file inside the movie clip playing.
In AS1, (I never did learn AS2) this is what the button command said
on (release) {
loadMovieNum(�About.swf�, 0);
}
So how would this translate into AS3?
I'd like a button to load a movie but only every third or fourth click. Is this possible? I don't know much about variables.

All works fine untill I do something to the loaded swf.For example if I click a button on the loaded swf the button works but then when I click the button on the main movie to load the next and play the transition the transistion doesnt work.If I dont do anything to the loaded swf the transitions work.Is it something to do with the paths being changed when the loaded swf is acivated?

In my main Flash movie, I have an XML-driven menu that is loading external swf files into a "container" movie clip within the main Flash movie. (I have that part working nicely.)
I want to have "go to next movie" and "go to previous movie" button on the main Flash movie, which would load different external swf files into the container movie clip. My problem is, I don't know how to tell Flash which external swf file should come "next" or "previous" based on what is selected in the XML-driven menu. It seem like I need to pass a "NextMovie" variable through the XML file to the main Flash movie, and then have a button pick up that "NextMovie" variable and use that as the file name of the next external swf to load... but I don't know how to make that work.
how I can get these "next" and "previous" buttons knowing which file to load, all from the XML file?
This is what my xml file looks like, in case that helps.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu name="menu">
<item name="Menu Item 1" action="gotoLoadMovie" variables="somemovie.swf"/>
<item name="Another Item" action="gotoLoadMovie" variables="anothermovie.swf"/>

I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.

View 6 RepliesI am pulling double duty with this question as it serves two purposes. I am developing a total flash controlled ad system for myself, but also need to use the same theory for a project for work.
Concept: I have a main movie (ad rotator system) that I then want to randomly load other swf's (individual ads) into this main swf after a set period of time. The random load I got set no problem. The problem I am having is to get it to move to the new Frame label of the main movie which then loads the smaller swfs. I am using the LoadMovie with nInterval time delay command in flash to load the movies.

I have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem.When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) {
_root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100;
}
SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.
I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do.On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's .
[Code]...
and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it
I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie.

I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
