I'm using a Loader component to load and external swf which dynamically loads external jpegs (it's a photo gallery). When I test the movie locally all looks well with the external swf positioned exactly where I put it on the main stage. However, once loaded to my web host the external swf is bumped downward about 150 px.
View 1 RepliesI've got a page with a very simple movie, it contains a text on some rows and an image.The text must be shown centered inside the page and must keep its aspect ratio if the browser is resized.The image mus be always placed at the bottom right corner of the window, not of the text area.
I can't obtain both of them, I can have the image always at the corner (placing it through AS3), but I have the text stretched when I resize the browser, or I can have the text always keeping its aspect ratio, but the image is not placed at the corner of the winwdow.I've also tried to have only the text on the movie and to place the image as html page's background, but the movie goes above the image and hides it.
I just got my scrolling text to work here, but it isn'tformatting the way I want. I think I have code correct, but maybejust in the wrong place. AS3 gods, I'mlearning.
var external_txt:TextField = new TextField();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var externalReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.txt");

Got an external swf linked into my main file. The swf plays fine on its own, is clickable & moves to different frames. When I play the main swf, the external loads when prompted but buttons inside don't work correctly like it does on its own. What the heck?

Alright, so I've tried quite a few things with no luck. I have a scrollbar that works in the swf fine, but when loaded into my mainmovie container I get this error...
Target not found: Target = "/scrolling text " Base = "_levelO.swf container"
Basically I understand this to mean that the externally loaded movie cannot find the instance name /scrolling text. The code is as follows that I have set to the scrollbar button in the externally loaded swf....
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/scrollingtext") {
nextFrame();
} gotoAndStop("down1");
}
I tried changing the target to _root.scrollingtext with no luck. Also tried _parent.
I have 2 flash files,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.I want to load the external SWF to my container SWF.I write this code in my AS2 container, inside the main timeline flash (mine flash).In the first method, I add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
This code works fine in most of the cases, but I found many SWFs files that it dosen't work with. These SWFs and work with the following code instead:
loadMovieNum("external.swf",0);
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
I really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if I use this code the external SWF predominant, my main SWF code and all the rest of my code dosen't work (like the setInterval() timer).... I want to load the SWF like the second example and still run the setInterval() function.
In trying to activate the remainder of the pause button, I find that using MovieClip(loader.content).channel.position always returns 0. I've tried numerous other combinations to access the position of the sound for the play function to resume correctly. The visual part of extswf.swf stops and starts exactly as it should.
In CntlClass:
public var loader:Loader;
public var movie_mc:MovieClip;
public var soundResume:int = 0;[code].........
[URL] Above is a link to view the project I'm working on. Once the site loads if you go to the "Contact Us" page the content doesn't load correctly. I'm using an extrnal .xml and .css files for the content. I'm also embedding the fonts dynamicly. If I test the file locally on my computer is works fine the image loads as it's supposed to and content looks correct. However when I post the files to the server (which work exactly the same way) I get the white box when you can see from the link above. I'm at a complete loss as to how to to fix this.
View 3 RepliesI have been having major trouble using embedded FLV's as anyone who has read [url]...
I have tried using externalk FLV files instead. They are only small, basically they are a persons animated face with some talking.
I do not require a player so have selected none, which is fine. I have had to move them and use the freetransform tool to get some of them to fit in the right palces perfectly.
However, when I publish the movie the FLV's are in different places to where they appear in the fla?

I am making a liquid flash site with a video player which loads within the central movieclip. When the site loads everything sits in place perfectly, however if the browser is rescaled in anyway the external swf pushes up to the top of the screen and stays there permanently. This is the link to the site:http:[url]...... It's not the liquid layout code for the mc as this rescales fine, just the external swf doesn't. This is the code I am using to load the external swf also:
var Xpos:Number = 0.5;
var Ypos:Number = 0.5;
var swf:MovieClip;[code].....
[URL]while in "portfolio" section, if you resize, the content go to the left.I know WHY it does it : while in a MC, an external movieclip lose his stagesize to compress into the movieclip, if resize, it use the size of ALL the content in the SWF to resize. the external fla stage is 1600 x 680, but the content goes out of the stage to the right to make an 1760 x 680 size.to make it LOAD at the right place and right size, i've got a layer with a MC (externalStageSize) in the external SWF that is the size of the Stage, while on frame 1, only this MC(externalStageSize) is active, so when loaded, the _level0 flash can position and scale the external SWF.
BUT, while active content is on, any live resize does not go well..I tried to "connect" the scaling with (externalStageSize) BUT once loaded the size does not change.I wanted to use the math : "new width" = ("allcontent".width / externalStageSize._width)/Stage.width but _level0.ContentMC.externalStageSize._width return the value it have in the flash... like, even if rescale, it will say "1600" is there a way to counter this ? before you ask : AS3 was out of the question because the person who will maintain the site is not that advanced.
some script used when resize :
ContenuMC : the movieclip in witch external swf is loaded
Code:
function setContent() {
// content dimensions
ContenuMC._width = Stage.width;

I'm trying to get a swf file to play in a main swf file. I can get it to play, but it always appears in the top left corner. I've tried several different methods to position it but every one of them either doesn't work or won't play the file.Here's what I'm using right now.
Actionscript Code:
stop();loadMovieNum("circles.swf", 1);var xset = 381;var yset = 179;
The swf plays just fine, but it won't take the coordinates.I also need to get it to stop when I go back and the command
Actionscript Code:
unloadMovieNum(circles.swf);
doesn't work.A tutor in my class showed me a method to place the swf into a box on the main stage without doing a lot of scripting, just putting in some file-name and size/position references, but he's not available right now to ask how he got that started.
I have a flash script which creates instances of movie clips and stores them in an array. What I want the script to perform next, is when clicking a "save" button the position and the movieclip class name of each created instance will be sent to an external script to store.

I have one movie clip that when clicked on moves to the left of the screen, after it gets there I want another and exteral swf to load. But I dont know how to get the external clip to load after the movie clip gets to the left side of the screen....Here is what I got so far..

when square_mc get to the Y position of 180, run the external clip.
I have a flash file (a flash navigation bar actually, which gets loaded in all the webpages inside the website). What I am trying to do is place an external swf file on it in a desired position when the corresponding page is being loaded. I am using FlashVars (variable name -> 'movieName') to pass the name of the movie clips. These variables are read by the navigation swf file and the corresponding swf file should be loaded in the area specified. Now, to create a container, I am using createEmptyMovieClip() method which will host all the external swf files.
The swf files are all being loaded but with a lot of problems. First, no matter what I try, the swf file comes at a fixed place (which is way off from where it is supposed to be). I have tried checking if the container loaded the movie before fixing its position but it changed nothing. Although it did change the position of a weird background colour box I am getting when the movie starts loading - which brings me to the second problem.
A rectangular box flashes once when the external swf is loaded, and its position is being affected by whatever I am setting the _x & _y values of the container movies to. I have no idea why it is happening as it doesn't happen when I test that swf seperately.
[Code]...
I've been using the loader class to import external swf files when I need them. I can position them on the screen where I need them using the:
loader_var.x
and
loader_var.y properties
However something that seems to stump me is how to position the loaded content below other content in the movie. I tried making the layer where I was actually calling my external file below the other layers and yet when I export the Flash movie the clip that I'm importing at run time always ends up on top of every thing. Is there a way to specify which objects imported media comes in above or below?
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

But it seems futile.
I am using a ScrollPane in my application(viz., instance name is: myScrollPane). When I view the contents of the ScrollPane, it shows them perfectly. My issue is: When I try to view data present inside the ScrollPane, if I move the Vertical-ScrollBar of the ScrollPane to middle(or somewhere from top to down) and then click on Submit button(viz., instance name is: submit_btn), then its Vertical ScrollPosition must be reset from middle(or any position where we leave it before) to top(or initial position). Hence, I need to move the Vertical ScrollPosition of ScrollPane to top (or) initial position. Everytime, I need to refresh the VerticalScrollBar Position when I click on the submit button. How to do it?

The trace's are because it didn't work like I thought it would.Etc the middle movieclip didn't center itself but rather positioned itself seemingly how it pleased so I traced its x position and the var stageXcenter position and like suspected it shows different values.
i want to take btn1 position half wwidth of own x position on stage
