say i got this empty movie clip which loads .jpg files.... the dimensions of the empty movie clip is 800 by 550... by default, the top most left of the external .jpg image will load onto the 0 by 0 point of the movie clip... but i want it to display the .jpg image in the center of the empty movie clip...

I'm having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I'll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I've tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it's still not moving out of 0 position:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
my_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",2);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.loadClip("textgauge1.swf", my_mc.container_mc),{x_:371.6, y_:76};
Is it possible to attach some script to a dynamically created movie Clip?
View 7 RepliesI did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm loading an external jpg into an emptyMovieClip (AS1) on the _root timeline and I want to implement a preloader so when the jpg loads it fades in, not show up abruptly.
Here's my code:
Code:
// Load an external Image
function loadImage(imageFile) {
var imageFile;

When I create a new mc:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
and try to attach one into it:

Even when I give the "container" content with [.lineTo()], nothing continious to happen.
I guess it has something to do with the 'emptyness' of the mc, but how to solve?
I'm clearly not caffinated enough (or too much!) because I can't seem to place my emptyMovieClips where I want them.

I'm loading external .swfs into an EmptyMovieClip. but i want to change the background color dynamically for some of the swfs but not all. that is, sometimes the background color is white sometimes black. how do i do this?

View 5 Replieswhen you create an empty movie clip, the registration point is 0,0 as default, I read you can change this by defining the X&Y but my movie Clip's position is defined by stage width and height.Is there another way to define the registration point~?

I'm trying to create a scroller menu. The container movieclip will hold several copies of a clip in the library. So I'm trying to create the clip dynamically since it's width will be varying depending on the number of elements it contains.
But when I try to use the attachMovie method on my newly created empty movieclip, nothing shows up! The test_mc will attach if I just say _root.attachMovie, so I don't know if it's a path issue or if emptyMovieClips can't have other clips attached or what.
var emptyClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc", 9);
emptyClip._x = Stage.width / 2;
emptyClip._y = Stage.height / 2;
emptyClip._width = 300;
emptyClip._height = 300;
emptyClip.attachMovie("test_mc", "test_mc", 20);
I'm having trouble getting an emptymovieclip which i have created to draw with to appear below the top layer. . . is LineTo always at the top depth?
View 1 RepliesI have 3 picture slideshows usings XML, the pictures will be changing form time to time that's why i needed it like this.Every slideshow is inside a folder, ej: gal1, gal2, gal3.In every folder i have the images, the flash file (gallery.swf) and the xml file.I have the main movie in wich i have a container where most data shows... and in wich i made an emptymovieclip, called "galMC" (now i know i could have used createEmptymovieclip, but maybe next time)[code]I have tried various methods but i always end up unloading "galMC"...the problme i think is that if i reload the container and click on another slideshow (gal2 or gal3), i see only the first image of the selected slideshow and then and then it starts showing the first slideshow that was loaded, so i guess i need to really UNLOAD that slideshow to load another and this is not hapenning.

I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I do understand the differance between ssas and as3. Not all, but all most everything I see written in SSAS can be writen into a external AS3 file. This leads me to quite a few questions I'm hoping you kind people can shed some light on for me.
1) What is the advantage of writing a SSAS file over an external AS3 file?
2) Can I write an .asc file in AS3 or do I have to use AS1? Please understand I'm using tuts from fmsguru.com and the books "Learning Flash Media Server" (pdf) and "Programming Flash Communication Server". I'm not a javascript programmer so nothing I do in AS1 seems to make any sence while everything I do in AS3 does. It may not seem like it to you people that are programmers, but to those of us that aren't, AS1 and AS3 are miles apart.
3) kind of off topic, but a security question. I'm not a "hacker" and don't like the jerks that are. My question is on external AS / SSAS files and swf files. When my fla is compiled into a swf does my external AS files remain external? I assume they do, but then what is the threat of the swf being decompiled? In most projects I would do I could care less if somebody had access to my fla as long as they don't have my actionscript files.
I don't know. Maybe on questions one and two I'm getting confused becasue I'm using out dated material. Again I assume that even though fms was built off of the javascript engine it should be able to read and execute my AS3 file. Other wise what was the point of the evolution of actionscript into a fully functional programming language?
I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??
