I have a symbol being loaded in through my XML file and its not being displayed. I am using Verdana, I have characters embedded and Ive even tried adding � to the include these characters section and still no luck.
View 9 RepliesBasically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.
View 2 RepliesHow do you detect the end of the loaded swf that loads the flv? It never reaches the frame 20, and I think it is due to the loaded flv CamTest.flv file. So how do you find out that the loaded swf really reached the end? How do you find out the end of the loaded flv inside the loaded swf?
On mainline frame 1, I have
loader_mc.loadMovie("CamTest_controller.swf");
On the loader_mc movie clip
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

I'd like to create a flashing LOADING symbol that appears before a swf file is loaded, but there seems to be a problem with my code.The error 1180:call to undefined method fader is given for the highlighted, but this was code i followed from a tutorial.Once the LOADING symbol has hovered on screen for a few seconds, id like it to fade out and display the swf on the index page, of which this code is within.
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import flash.events.TimerEvent;import flash.utils.Timer;
var faderTween:Tween;var loadit = new Loader();var timeLimit = 3000;var timeLimitReached = false;

Two related questions:
- Is there a way to click on something in my project---a symbol or a sound clip I have already placed from the library---and find out which particular library element it is?
- Can I play sound from the library window, to preview it before placing?
I would like to know if there is a way to find out where is a symbol used into a Flash document.If Symbol A is used by two other symbols (say B and C) is there a way to query the enviroment to know that A is used by B and C?
View 5 RepliesLets say I have a Flash project called main_file.swf, containing everything for my application including appr. 50 symbols (movieclips) containing graphical content for e.g. button backgrounds, box borders, scrollbar designs etc. - thus the complete 'skin' for the application.
I would, however, like to place the 50 symbols in an external .swf file - let's call this skin.swf. The idea being that the customer could design their own 'skin.swf' file, upload it to our server, and (depending on the user settings) load main_file.swf using the symbols/skin in their own skin.swf-file.
Right, get the challenge? I would like to - runtime - load skin.swf into main_file.swf (e.g. with loadClip()) and then attach the symbols from skin.swf's library in the content of main_file.swf.
However, it doesn't look like the approach above works. how to get the same effect by other means?
I am very new to ActionScript. I have a .fla file which contains the AS2 code for the frames. What I need to do is that I have to export this code as a separate file. There may be a separate file(or class file) for each frame code. Is it possible to me do it automatically without losing animation interactivity and functionality? Or is there any other way?

View 3 RepliesI have a simple flash movie with a text field named 'txt1'. The following is the code in the root frame.
=================================
var r:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
r.load("test.txt");[code]....
When the data is loaded into the text field, I dont see the ++. Instead I see space characters. I tried using the escape character , but in vain.
I have a question that's been daunting me for quite a while. I've found a way to do this (kind of bootleg) however I'm wondering a way of better executing this.Scenario:I'm loading an external XML file, with numerous items. Each item has it's own 'description' tag. What I'm trying to figure out is how can I more properly execute this:- Find multiple keywords in all loaded items, if I find any of the selected keywords how can I fire off a separate function to my project (Example: If I find the word "hamburger" in one of the lets say, 54 loaded entries, how can I tell my flash project "if you find "hamburger", hamburgers = 1). Same thing goes if I find "hamburger" within 4 xml items, and "hotdogs" in 12 of the entries making flash know hamburgers = 4 and hotdogs = 12.
My predicament really is on ruling out numerous incorrect amounts. Example, If one xml item has hamburger three times, and another xml item has hamburger only once, getting only one valid "hamburger hit" (that was cleaver terminology, wasn't it? ) instead of three hits for that one xml item.So, I'm trying to let flash know, if you notice "hamburger" once, and only once in an xml item, stop counting the hamburgers, and the item's hamburger value is only 1. If the item has no keywords (example, hamburgers, hotdogs, watermelons, soda, blah blah, (lets say a total of 30 keywords) ) do nothing and do not count the item and move to the next for keyword function searching.
I have loaded image file . I want to find out width and height of desire image. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI have loaded image from a folder and placed in a movieclip.I can able to resize the image like
ActionScript Code:
mc.scaleX = 0.5
mc.scaleY = 0.5
Now, I need to find the height of the movieclip.
What I want to happen is a movieclip of text aligns 20px to the right of the loaded img, similar to what padding does in css, the code I am using is: textFields._x = (picture._width+20); textFields is the movieclip of text and the image is loading into picture
What actually happens is the the text aligns to picture._width but before the image the image has loaded or I am not telling it the right place to look for ._width
I'll include the .fla in for convenience
In a flash project, I am loading an external SWF that has some symbols in its library exported for ActionScript. I need to create instances of those symbols but, since it's a loaded SWF I don't have direct access to that classes.
View 1 RepliesHow can I find the width of an external jpg BEFORE it's been loaded into my movie? I can easily find the width of it AFTER loading by loading it into an empty movie clip and returning the width of this AFTER the jpg has loaded using the _width command. But what I want is to find the width BEFORE loading.I have tried "trace(1.jpg._width);" but this returns undefined, obviously as 1.jpg is not an object from my library, it's an external file. Any other ideas anyone?!
View 1 RepliesI'm using MovieClipLoader to load in external swfs so that I don't need to include a preloader on each one.

loader.addListener(this);

Is it possible to control one loaded SWF File eg.(MOVIE-1.swf) from another loaded SWF file eg.(MOVIE-0.swf) on a different level? eg. with a syntax like:

or:
onRelease
gotoAndStop (MOVIE-1.swf, frame4)
I have a fla that does a few things before loading in a .flv file and playing this. All this works fine, now comes the issue.

Yesterday I was working in an exhaustive animation when the computer turned off. When I turned the PC on again there was a message about a recovery file. I opened the recovery file: it was the animation I was working with. I finished my work and closed the recovery file. Today I was looking for the file I was working with and I can't find it: Flash gives me just the original file not the recovery file.

View 1 RepliesIn my project, there is a frame(png files) placed on the top of all symbols. After that, I apply mouse click event to the symbols that place underneath the frame symbol, but when I run the the game, I cannot click to the below symbols but only the frame symbol, although the frame is transparent.
The problem is, although the png picture has some transparent area, the mouse click cannot pass through it. Is there solution? Is there anyway I can disable a symbol from being clicked and mouse click event can recognize the symbol placed under it?

I'm fairly new to using Flash, only one previous project to my name.
I'm an OOP programmer in other languages so using classes appeals to me and I want to use them in my next project. However I'm having problems after following tutorials on-line.
I've created a classes file called ScreenWordClass.as and within it is a very simple definition for this class at present. But when I try to use this class with say[code]...
Can any answer the following questions and maybe point me to a "for dummies" tutorial on 'Classes'. I have the books but they have seemed to disappoint me. Unfortunately I can never ask "why" when reading a book.
1) Does a Class file need to be attached to a library symbol?
2) How do you know what to import?I know this sounds funny but should you always import flash.display.MovieClip? I just want to create a line using a class to begin with and call it from a flash swf with two parameters (start and end).Wouldn't it only need to be a import flash.display.Graphics
3) What is "Base class is final."? Anybody had this error before?[code]

Give it an instance name.Then I look for the Parameters that used to be in the properties panel in CS3. Not there anymore.I find that the Components Inspector has Parameters in there now.OK.I need to use ContentPath to tell the component where the .xml file is so it can find the images for the scroller.Can't find 'ContentPath'.How can I point the component to a .xml file?Is there a way of getting Parameters back in with properties - it was so much easier.
