I can only load the images into the loader and then I cant get the image from the loader in memory into the animated timeline mc. how this is done? I have tried addChild but this doesnt help me attach the loaded picture to the anim_mc. or...?The designer also have a textlayer, which is put in a mc and then animated. And the text from XML must go into the textfield and be animated.

Now I can add the clip and get the totalframes of the content, no problem.
THe problem is I cannot resize the content at all.I have no idea how to target the loaded content.
Here's the code I'm using:
var myXML:XML = new XML();

I have multiple SWFs published with Flash CS5, all of them seemed to work fine and I could load them at runtime from another SWF and access the the loader.content as a MovieCLip and therefore access the children of those SWFs.
But now I've created a new SWF and the loader.content type is .MainTimeline__Preloader__ instead of MovieClip on this particular swf! So I get the reference error 1069 property not found when I load and try to access children in this SWF.
Essentially I'm building an application in Flash, just for the fun of it really. Upon the initial design it was just a static size, now however I've been working on making it completely resizeable (with the original size as the minimum). I've done this on most of the screens correctly. However on the main screen I have several components. All custom built MovieClips basically, and inside these are more MovieClips, and inside those are even more movieclips.
For my question, I'm going to be using a button as my example. I created a button movieclip with a resize function to call after I change the size of it. So it works like this:
ActionScript Code:
buttonMC.width = 200;
buttonMC.height = 150;
buttonMC.resized();
Now this button is inside of another movieclip which is designed to just house a group of similar movieclips. (this structure is not changable; several hundreds of lines are code are specifically designed around it). How to get our button's width from the root timeline, we'd do this:
ActionScript Code:
trace(housingMC.buttonMC.width);
Now, when this frame gets resized, the resizing script changes the width height of the housingMC. Something like this: (not a working example)
ActionScript Code:
//resize listener {
housingMC.width += stageWidth - oldStageWidth; //width difference
housingMC.width += stageHeight - oldStageHeight; //height difference
And the housingMC changes to the correct size in the correct position of the screen.

I am so happy that ive found this site to know everything about flash/xml/php. It really helps me a lot. I was so happy ive finally found a very simple MovieClip Scrollbar. Anyway, what I want to add to this script is how to add an external image to the content which is under the movieclip "contentMain".I was thinking to add this script that I also learn from this site but I dont know how to pass the variable to the content of the scrollbar.

View 1 RepliesAt my site [URL] I have PHP/MySQL talking to flash, when the holder movie opens it loads my home.swf into the content movie clip... It works fine once but if you click the home button (which runs the same function) or refresh the page it blanks out the text field and won't reload the content.
Code:
stop();
goHome();
function goHome() {
_root.background_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.holder_mc.loadMovie("home.swf");

I need to get my main swf A to tell the swf B (swfB is my scrollpane content or source) to gotoAndStop at frame 2 but it doesn't communicate.Here is my code on my main swfA:
Code:
function xbutton (e:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop("p1");MovieClip(sp.content).gotoAndStop(2);}
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, xbutton);
Here is my code on frame 2 in swfB:
Code:
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
to better visualise what i am doing; swfA is my website with lots of pages, swfA has one page* that holds my scrollpane, inside my scrollpane is swfB with a flPlayback (*this page is the tv page). when I exit the tv page to another page on my website the tv must stop. swfB has my flPlayBack on frame 1, frame 2 is blank (no tv).
Ps: The code in swfB works fine independently! I know this because tested it by adding a button (when pressed it goes to frame 2 and the code does stop the tv).
Im trying to get a Flash Guestbook to work, but i would like to place it somewhere else, than on the main stage.

I am looking for a possible fix for the issue I have. I created an animated movie clip where the animated images are bigger than the size area of movie clip's stage. Let's say I have a mc with dimension of 500x700px, but images are used 650x850px in size. I make transitions between images while they move on a stage. It is a simple timeline based animation. When I look at the published swf, everything is looking great. When I load this published swf into another swf on its stage, the behavior is changed. I can see the area what is beyond the intended visible area of 500x700px. I can see the portion of the image that supposed to be out of visible area and transitions lost the intended style. It looks really bad.As far as I can tell, the loaded swf content is losing its stage area. Its content is shown no within swf's stage area but within upper level swf's stage area. Is that possible to fixI still need to have the loaded swf with own boundaries where nothing can be seen outside intended visible area. I used mask to hide content but it did not completely fix the problem,

I have a question regarding the depths of movie clips in flash. The situation is as follows: I have a main swf with manually set movie clips that act as buttons in this case; this main swf acts as a search form that once it is filled a search results window (also a movie clip from library) pops up on top of the main swf and all its buttons-clips. Now here is the thing, the new pop up window movie clip DOES obscure the form on the main swf visually, however when I go over the new window clip, the buttons of the main form that are beneath it are still detected by flash player and are NOT obscured by the new window action wise, although visually they are not seen. How can I make the pop up movie clip obscure the contents of _root movie clip and its contents visually AND functionally.

I am authoring in Flash 8, publishing to FP8.
This is probably just a brainfart but when I publish the code below, my hitTest is triggered by the entire movieclip from 0,0 to _width, _height and not by it�s content.

I'm trying to make an empty movieclip (content) that loads an external swf move above some other movieclips after is is fully loaded, and another movieclip (stage_mc) hits frame 25. It needs to load behind and the stage_mc, then move above it when stage_mc hits frame25. I tried this code on the main timeline, and the main timeline is one frame.

and it's not working. I've also tried it without the this.onEnterFrame, and another variation on the content mc.None of these things are working.

View 1 RepliesI am creating a website in Flash CS5 and Im having trouble with linking a button inside a movie clip inside another movie clip. In theory it should work as ive tried but doesn't. I have a movieclip called content for the main/top level pages but then i have sub pages which I have created another movie clip content2
This is code I have (an example):
about.onRelease = function(){
content.gotoAndStop("About");
}
This code works in the top level pages. My porblem is linking from here to a sub level page (movieclip in movieclip).
info.onRelease = function(){
content.content2.gotoAndStop("Info");
}
I've done exactly the same as i would have for top level pages. How can this be fixed? Can it be done in AS2 if not can it be done in AS3 and what is a SIMPLE method in AS3 to link pages etc. I want to keep the pages/frames organised using movie clips to layer them. I want a good structure.

i have this code on an empty movieclip that loads the external swf.
[Code]...
frame 38 has the empty movieclip hidden by another movieclip saying loading. frame 39 is where the loading movieclip disapeers. but its not working.
What I want to do is this: In my main movie I have 2 variables: movietoplay and tag I want an swf to be loaded into a movieclip(content) when myButton is pushed. This swf contains a variable, called tag1(var tag1 = "guitar"). Then if its loaded, tag and tag1 should be compared, and if they're the same, nothing should happen. But if they are not, another movie must be loaded elsewhere. Basically, I've collected links that belong with the different pages that load into 'content' and those groups should be loaded into the 'links' movieclip. But sometimes, the links for 2 different pages are the same. So I want to check if the links of the page that will come are the same links of the previous page and if they are the same, no new links need to be loaded. But if they're not the same, the new set of links should be loaded. (A set of links always ends with"_link.swf")
