ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Can't Get UnloadClip To Work
Mar 13, 2009
I'm having diffeculties using the unloadClip function. When clicking on one of the branches in a Tree menu, several thumbnails are loaded into a MovieClipLoader called 'clipLoader' from a XML file.
This works fine, but when you click on a different node from the Tree menu, all of the thumbnails should get unloaded.
For example: If the previous node you clicked had 4 thumbs, and the current one has only 2, the last 2 thumbnails are still visible from the previous node.
I tried clipLoader.unloadClip(holder);, but nothing seems to work, I also tried unloadMovie but also no luck there...
This is the listener for the Tree menu:
PHP Code:
listChanged = new Object();
listChanged.change = function(evt_obj) {
var item = evt_obj.target.selectedNode;
//If it is a folder�
[Code]......

I am trying to defeat my psychological block with dynamically loaded fonts in AS3, and I have an annoying problem. I am creating a clock with a textfield and I am loading fonts from a SWF library: the available classes/linkages are "Arial", "ArialBold", "MyriadPro", "MyriadProBold" and "Verdana".This is the line where I get the class from the SWF, and it extracts the class correctly
Code:
clock = new Clock( { fontClass: assetsLoader.getFontClass("skin", "Arial") } );
The constructor...

I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";[code].....

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

I have a completed project (AS2) that contains a lot of FLVs. I burned it onto DVD and it works great on Mac (guide.app) and PC (guide.exe).Here's the web version of the project.http:[url]....Now, months later, I have to provide the project with source files (FLA's) and some other stuff - so I got an external HD, copied the files from the working DVD onto it. Running the guide.exe off of the external (connected to WinXP SP3) works just like running it off the DVD - EXCEPT for the FLVs which simply to not appear.
http:[url]...Everything up to that step works: When I click on "guide.exe", the "splash screen" opens showing the title and 4 buttons. These buttons are to choose a language and they work.When I select a language and click its button the GUI for the language with menus appear and they work. When I click on a topic from the menu, the topic's skin appears but the video inside the skin doesn't play. Everything works but the FLVs.
Even weirder - If I use VLC Player to open an FLV directly - the FLV will play. That tells me there is some path issue but how can a path change when it's compiled into the SWF? Besides - the paths from swf to flv has not changed when I copied all the files to the external.why the FLVs will not play on the external the same way they play when on the DVD?

I have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.

I have created a simple site in flash cs 4 using AS2.0. The nav bar buttons are text. I have made them into Movie Clips and put actionscript onto the MC instance which looks like this: [code]The button does not work. I have converted the symbol to a button and kept the Actionscript on the instance and they do not work. I have in fact copied exactly what I have done on a previous site that worked and it is not working here.The AS is not on the timeline, nor on the button or movieclip but on the instance of it. I am at a loss as to why it doesn't work. When I use the button instead of the MC the button flashes/blinks but still does not work.

Macromedia Flash MX 2004 I posted this somewhere else - but then realized no one actually uses that forum except to post ads...

I won't post the file because I'm using someone else's character and it's fine with them, but I doubt it should be here - this is the only code that's a problem, though.

I am working on a site (in Flash CS5 -- using AS3) with drop-down menus. I finally got my drop-downs to work and was stoked for that. I then decided that I wanted the menu bar to motion tween in from the left. I placed the tween on the bar, and saw the tween line on the stage. However, when I go to test the movie in Flash, or publish it and watch it in my browser, the tween doesn't happen, the bar just stays left of the stage.

I finished my website and uploaded to internet. And when I showed friends that use IE7, CHROME or any other browser besides FIREFOX it failed to work. The SWF gets stuck at the preloader at a certain percentage but the animation of the preloader still runs. Here is the link (try to watch from different browsers): [URL]..

I just had this conversation with a colleague and I am now turning to the SO community to provide evidence based on fact, not opinion, as to which tool would be ideal to grow into in the current programming environment. Director or Flash?I am deciding if I should stick with Flash or bother learning Director 11.5. He want to know if he should stick with Director or learn Flash. No, we don't work together. Hehe..
EDIT:
I've gotten ExternalInterface to work with VB.NET, hence the need for Director in the context of its ability to do File System IO and "non-flv" video are eliminated. No if only VB could do the kinds of animation that Flash could do, I could turn towards being a "real" programmer...

I'm using AIR SDK Version 3.0.0.4080 and this build of Away3D [URL]building the project in FDT 5 on a Macbook Pro. The app descriptor file has renderMode set to direct.I have been able to get Away3D 4.0 working with FP11 when it builds from the latest playerglobal.swc but when I attempt to build an AIR project then it appears the airglobal.swc is slightly different. Filter3DTaskBase throws errors due to differences in method parameters.Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 2.

As far as I can see, the number of parameters match up. I am wondering if there is a deeper issue here with my graphics card etc as stage.displayState is behaving strangely as well, it behaves like the swf is running via the player not adl (needs MouseEvent to change to fullscreen). Although I have re-installed the latest flex sdk and AIR sdk in case something had gone wrong there.

have a link (yeah that one) to an .fla file for a simple rss feed reader that gets top news headlines from selected newspapers.Most of the code is my own, except for a function that I grabbed for trim() duty. It is based on a code I found on the tutorials around here.It works fine using the Flash 8 debug compiler, but when I compile it to a normal shockwave file and try it out on a test page on the web, I get the unhappy message:
A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?I know some things could be adjusted in the code, such as arraying the loop instead of using a lap counter.

I know, I could get a better one for free, but this is easy and I'm no good at flash, etc. Anyway, everything's fine, except I can't seem to get the sound to work. There's a component parameter called "flip sound" (I think) - I put my sound in there (it's all in the same folder, so no path), and - no sound.

I have uploaded a swf but when viewed in Firefox, the swf does not work. However, the swf does work in IE.
I used Flash MX 2004 to export the swf.
Anyway, my firefox can view other websites with flash properly so the problem is definitely with my swf.
here's my html if it helps:

<title>My Website</title>
<style type="text/css">

I have three movie clips that are effectively draggable popup windows. At the moment I have each one sitting on a different frame and 3 buttons that guide to the frame to start the popup window.
I kinda want something more dynamic. I'd like to be able to have all three up at once and the user be able to drag them over each other like an OS.
Is there some sample actionscripts or maybe a tutorial around?
