ActionScript 2.0 :: Can Movie Clip Display Its Own File Name
Jul 16, 2004
i need script and some instructions how to: display my movie file_name in example "movie-1.swf" or just "movie-1" inside of my movie-1.swf in the text field or something ...
it is my movie own file name but not writen directly by me from keyboard but writen by script so if i change file name it will be updated automaticly in the movie after movie is reloaded so file movie-1.swf renamed to movie-2.swf will display text "movie-2swf" or just "movie-2"

I have followed the XML Video tutorial and everything works fine however Lee says you can use a movie clip to display the contents of the XML file instead of one of Flash's built in components. Is there a way to create your own drop down menu or simple text field?

I have been working on a flash game for the past couple days and it is my first major game so there have been alot of issuesI think I finally have everything figured out with a few exceptions , they are.1. The movie clip that serves as my pop up window is popping up behind all my moving icons.I need it over top of them obviously.2. I need to figure out a simple way to pause time while the pop up is up and resume time when it disappears.3. I need to add about 5 seconds to the game clock when the user shoots a question mark so that it appears as though the clock was stoppedonClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (_root.time == 30) {_root.speedz = 9;_root.intervaln = 30;}if (_root.time == 10) {_root.intervalz = 10;}if (_root.time ==0) {_root.gotoAndStop(3); }}

I have a movie clip in my library and I would like to display it on the stage using AS3.
do I have to define it as a variable?Do I need to use this code: addchild(movieclip); can I use the 'x' and 'y' to position it?
What would the code look like?

I have a movie clip symbol that is place on my main time line.I want the movie clip to display frames for (x) seconds then go to the next frame.I have a chunk of code that works by itself but when placed into my flash site it is causing some strange problems. Such as navigating to a label (page) prior to the movie clip that has the wait function code, freezes the flash.I am wondering if I need _root or a this in there somewhere.
The reason I want to do this is so I don't have to add a bunch of frames to get the pause time I need.Is there a way to use the code below and not have it cause problems with the rest of my time line?Here is the wait function code
stop();
i = 1;
function Wait() {[code].....

I want to load a range of images (20-30) each contained in a movie clip, and position them on the stage in a grid (table) format using actionscript. These images will be loaded from an XML file to make updating them a simple task in the future.
I have followed a tutorial to produce a "carousel" and this allowed me to have as many images as I wished loaded by the actionscript. I am sure that it is possible to have the items arranged however one would like provided you code the script correctly, and this is my problem. I cannot work out the correct code to get the movie clips into the desired arrangement.
how to position the items in various arrangements/patterns. I do not want a scrolling thumbnails solution. I want them to be multi-row/column.

basically i would like to dynamically display and preload an image onto my main movie clip. this image would be the first item in my xml file. on my main timeline i would like to have a few buttons that a user could click to change the default image on the page.
when they select a new image, i would like to have the preloader appear above the default image and then tween between the old and new image (one fading out and one in kinda thing).i sourced some code but i've been having problems preloading the first image. the image loads but the preloader doesn't do anything. it seems like the preloader doesn't seem to recognise that i'm trying to load an image. it thinks it's fully loaded and carries on before the load can begin!i would also like attach a different preloader for the first image displayed than the ones being loaded via the buttons.

Basically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

I am working on a project which there are two .swf file play side by side simultaneously. I need to use one of the file to control the animation in another file.
If they are in same .swf it should be easy. I can just use:
gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
but there are two .swf now. (lets say movieA and movieB) I think I should use something like:
"LinkToMovieB".gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
"LinkToMovieB" should be the link to movie clip in the movieB file.
my problem is how do I get the link to movie B's movie clip. or there is other proper way to do this task.

I've got the following file reference listener on a file to upload art for display on a flash movie. However, I want this to display only at a certain size. I tried the "easy way", but this ends up sizing down my whole movie. Where should I insert the code to get the uploaded file to show on my flash movie only to a certain height and width? "chip_clip" is the empty movie clip this is being uploaded to:
var file:FileReference = new FileReference();
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, fileSelect);
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileComplete);

I am rearranging a flash by adding more picture. By default it was 8 pictures but I want to add unlimited number of pictures on XML file and want to load them in Flash. The XML file is parsed into an array (code provded below). I can not figure out the problem as the flash shows only the default 8
pictures, not showing the additional pictures that i have added. I was hoping someone here can help me in taking the parsed XML file and help me load the image
into the movie clip. Also I want to redirect all the Rotate Picture (3d-carousel-menu) links to the Flash
picture showing state. I mean all the carousel-menu links will be linked to image showing stage.[code]...

I am trying to build an XML Driven Drop Down Menu similar to the one detailed in the tutorial in The difference is that instead of the menu item taking the user to another website I want it to launch a swf file in a movie clip. Basically, what I'm trying to do is build a training application where the user clicks a button (created from the XML file) and it starts a movie in a movie clip. Seems simple but I haven't been able to find anything on it. All the tutorials involving XML menus have the buttons launching URL's.

So as to make things less confusing (I had a lot of different layers), I made each scene in my animation in its own file. Now I want to put them in the same file, so I thought I could make everything in one file into a movie clip and put it into another file that way.
However, it doesn't seem to work! I can highlight everything, convert it, and paste it into the other file... but when I paste it, it only pastes the first frame of my highlighted selection! How can I convert the whole thing into a movie clip instead of just one frame?
