ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Loading An External Image On Opening A Movie Clip Symbol
Nov 5, 2009
I'm trying to get an external image in a movie clip symbol when the movie is opened and I'm having no joy. I can get it to work with a mouse over event...
on (rollOver) {
rootObject.activeMouse = true;
mcImage.loadMovie( "image1.jpg" );
}
However, I need it to load without pressing / rolling over anything.

I would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?

This used to be so easy in AS1 and AS2, but since I haven't been using Flash in 2 years now. looks like time ran over me - and it looks like it'd take me a while before I figure this out in AS3. So, what I want to do is to call external swf into another movie clip and my stage is set like this.
In main timeline I have two layers:first is (center_mc) and contains movie clip "center_mc" which is positioned in the middle of stage and in the second layer (mbottom_mc) is movie clip "mbottom_mc" that will contain buttons as "menubtn01". So what I Want to do is when I click on this "menubtn01" to call external swf into THAT movie "center_mc". So to clear the external swf that "center_mc" is showing with the new.

How? This is what I have now and it doesn't work:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("testimage", 1); \ New Movie Clip
loadMovie(test.image1name, "testimage"); \ test.image1name = "image-4.jpg", the url of an image
testimage._width = 350; \ Properties for the Movie Clip
[Code]....
I'm tired and this is tiring me.
EDIT: When I traced "testimage._width", it returned 0. But when I traced "testimage._x", it returned 50 as it should.

I have only been doing flash for less than a week and I mostly do animations but I want to learn AS.
I have saved my pictures in a folder (i.e. /images/) and linked the file name to a mysql database (i.e. test.png) I can make a php file that makes the links to the images
[Code]....
So heres what I want to do,
1.) I am making a logo for my site and I want my pictures to show up in a movie clip (the newest picture first)
2.) If a user clicks on that picture/movie clip it takes them to a specific page
3.) How would I set up controls so a user could switch through the latest six pictures.

Last time I wanted to load an external clip I could do it like this on (release) {
[Code]..
So now I want to achieve exactly the same thing in AS3, I have been looking at examples on the web but am getting all sorts of errors and basically don't know what I am doing. I also want to know how to navigate to .swf files in a file structure, as I have to build an old school fscommand file structure for a cd-rom.

I'm trying to make a Flash website that contains a Flash Store (loaded as an external SWF.)
I have set my pages up in a movie clip file called pages_mc. Each desired page is has its frames labeled (ie: "HOME," "PRODUCTS," ect�)
I need to know how to load the SWF titled, flashshop_plugin.swf onto the "PRODUCTS" page of pages_mc.
What is the best way to do this? I've tried a number of things, which have resulted in the external SWF not loading or having it load, but not go away when another page is selected. I'm assuming I would use add/remove child for this? Just not sure how and accompanied by what other code.
PS: The Flash Shop template I am using suggested using the following code to import it:

i don`t know how i got back to the basics but i am having a problem with a preloader. What i do... I have an empty movie clip that loads an swf after a user make a button choise. So after the user choise i make the preloader._visible = true; and in the preloaders movie clip i have this code
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.externals.stop();
mctotal = _root.externals.getBytesTotal();
mcloaded = _root.externals.getBytesLoaded();
[Code]....
The "_root.externals" is the empty movie clip that loads the external swf.
The problem is that when the preloader goes to 100% the external swf plays but plays in loop all the time. In the external swf i have the action stop(); in a frame but it doesn`t stop insted of stoping it replays all the time....

I would like to have it so that when I click a button, it tells a movie clip to play and it just blinks loading. I want an external .swf to be loading while that movie clip is playing. When the external .swf loads, I want it to tell the mc to stop. How do I do all of this?

I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?

I have a png clipart image dynamically loading into a movie clip. Is there a way in AS2 in which it would get the different color layers used in that clipart to display the color pickers related to those color layers. So that once i change the color in that color picker it would change it in the clipart as well. Basically i want flash to communicate with the png layers.

Whenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?

I have some buttons that load an external flash file into the container movie clip with this code:
[code]...
So it plays the tweening out animation of the file that's already loaded, then loads the new file, playing the tweening in animation. However, currently the container movie clip is empty when the flash movie is played. I want to be able to have some content already loaded in it, but when I use the container .loadMovie("start.swf") code, it just keeps loading start.swf into it when any of the other buttons are clicked. Is there a way I can have content load when the flash movie is started, but when any of the buttons are clicked, for it to tween out, and basically, never reappear?

I am trying to load an external image into a movie clip that is already on the Stage and size it to the movie clips size. The movie clip name is member_gallery with the width of 360 and the height of 251. One of the images i am trying to load into it is 1024 * 768. I would also like to load other images of different sizes into the same movie clip and they all change to 360 * 251 when loaded.
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(load){var container2:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container2", getNextHighestDepth());var mcLoader2:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();mcLoader2.addListener(this);mcLoader2.loadClip("http://www.gothics-r-us.com/chat/images/gru.jpg", container2);trace(this._width);trace(container2._xscale); container2._xscale = this._width / 10; container2._yscale = this._height / 10; //container2._height = 251;}

In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.

I'm attempting to use the movieClipLoader to load a file onto an instance of a class derived from movieclip. For some reason, this doesn't seem to work, because after it successfully loads, the array that contains these derived class instances suddenly become movie clips and lose all their derived variables (tracing them resutls in 'undefined').So I thought there must be another way. Perhaps there is a way to copy the image data from one movie clip to another, or someone suggested taking a snap shot of the first movie clip and then applying it to the second as a bitmap.
