Aug 30, 2010How do you go about swapping depths in AS3? I've got a movieClip (allContent_mc) that contains a bunch of other movieClips(mc1, mc2, etc.) that expand in size when clicked on. However, when they are expanded I need to make sure that the one being viewed is on top. The control to expand each clip lives within each clip itself. Ideally, when the expand code (below) is executed, I'd like to make sure the clip's depth supersedes all others. I'm keeping all the clips together in one larger clip because the larger clip is living inside a scrollPane component. Pretty sure I'm just not defining the path to the clip correctly.
ActionScript Code:
function goOpen(e:MouseEvent):void{
this.setChildIndex (square_mc , this.numChildren - 1 );[code]...........

ActionScript 2.0 :: Swapping A Dynamic Movieclip's Depth Beneath A Static Set Of Graphics?
Jun 7, 2006Flash 8 - AS 2.0
Ok kiddies. I've been toying with AS and trig. and have a little wiggly worm that half-heartedly responds to the mouse just as I want. It's created by looping 30 times through a for loop and using attachmovie() like this.
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
attachMovie("mcCircle", "mcCircle" + i, i, {_x:mx[i], _y:my[i]});
}
As you can see for their depths I have used the increment of the for loop. So I have 30 clips with depths from 0 to 29. On the other hand, the graphics which have been statically placed on the stage have these depths.
instance7:-16352
mcThought:-16355
instance6:-16357
mcCode:-16360
[Code]....
What I need is to place the mcCircle clips underneath some of the objects on the stage. Imparticularly, the menu bar at the top of the stage and the logo at the bottom while staying on top of the background. I just want it to look like it's going behind these two graphics. I've tried a number of things and have ran out of ideas. By the way - the bottom of frame 27 of the actions layer has the code that is outputting the depths in the Output panel in Flash.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Swapping Movie Clips From A Loaded Swf
Aug 7, 2009I wrote some actionscript that would load in different values from an xml file in order to play certain movie clips at certain times from a specified swf file. It actually works for the most part. I think the problem happens when I select a movie clip that was already previously selected. It actually won't load it at that point. I will post actionscript in the morning, but I feel like this should be a rather common issue, and I just don't know some general piece of info. I use an actionlistener to load the swf. I create an associative array that works as follows [action] => movieclip Then on an action it will make a movie clip object = loader.content.getChildByName(theActions[action]);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Swapping The Jpeg Loaded Into A Movie Clip With The One In A Button?
Jul 10, 2005I have three buttons, which when clicked load an external file into a movie clip called container. The first jpeg (1.jpg) is loaded into the container when the movie loads and the thumbnail buttons have the files t2.jpg, t3.jpg and t4.jpg loaded. When these are clicked they load 2,3 and 4.jpg respectively into the container. The problem is that I can only have 3 buttons but need to display 4 images. So I want the image that is loaded into the container to swap with the one that is in the button. I can't find any code, either on this forum or on the web, that retrieves the name of a file that is loaded into a movie clip.This is what I need.
Because all the images are named 1,2,3 or 4.jpg and the thumbnails for the buttons are t1,t2,t3 or t4.jpg I should be able to easily write the additional code to change what happens when the button is clicked, because when the picture on the button has changed to what was loaded into the container, the on(Release) code will need to change too.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Flashvars - Ensure That All The Content Being Loaded Externally Is Loaded Before The Transition Plays?
Aug 30, 2005I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):

This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Externally Loaded Swf Does Not Stay Loaded?
Feb 16, 2006I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
Actionscript 3 :: Stopping An Externally Loaded Swf From "playing" When Another External Swf Is Loaded?
Nov 8, 2011I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;

Resizing Externally Loaded SWF?
Dec 23, 2009i'm having some "big" issues with what seems like a pretty easy flash concept. But, im pretty green when it comes to coding in flash.
I have a SWF thats being externally loaded into another SWF file (see code below):
on(release) {
loadMovie("test1.swf",_root.dropZone);
}
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Remove .flv From Externally Loaded .swf?
Aug 7, 2009With the assistance of a very kind member of this forum, I have got as far as getting an .FLV to load into my API via its own .SWF.
[URL]
click on "Animalia - Verse from the Zoo" to load the VideoPlayer .swf which contains the .FLV
I will add more functionality when I've solved this. Now that I have a Video Player which closes, the next set of hurdles to overcome are these:
Click "Close" with the .FLV playing and the sound keeps playing because the .FLV is still playing. Click "Close" with the .FLV paused and when you call the player back, it plays from the same spot. So, my tiny brain says it's an "add/removeChild" issue. Obviously when happy user clicks "Close" and then re-loads by clicking "Animalia", happy user wants the video to play from scratch. That's what I want, anyway. Not from where it left off after clicking "Close". I've made several attempts at adding a "remove FLV" object to the function and Event Dispatch method, but what I did is wrong because the code I put in removed the .FLV permanently and when you call the player back by clicking on "Animalia", the .FLV does not play at all. I'm going round in circles looking for the correct NetStream/removeChild/unload.nsplay/etc/etc .. AS3 coding and where to put it.
My .FLV video load object on "NewPlayer.swf" is:
var myVideo:Video = new Video(360, 264);
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
[Code].....
My questions is:- What is the correct coding to get the VideoPlayer .swf to unload its .FLV completely, SO THAT when a user clicks "Close". Either with or without the .FLV playing, everything closes completely and when re-loaded, the video plays from scratch?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Pause Externally Loaded Flv?

View 7 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Control An Externally Loaded SWF?
Jul 26, 2009I'm working on an flash movie and the interface is a small town (simiar to "doritos.com" and "comcasttown.com") if you reference both the doritos and comcast sites their little movie runs smoothly. I have several elements in the town. For example, one of the elements is an airplane hangar. When you rollover the hanger, I created a movie, the doors open and an airplane flies out of the hangar. I have several little movies throughout the interactive such as this. I created the hangar animation as a seperate swf file. In my main movie I created a button, on rollover it loads the hangar swf into an empty movieclip. When I publish and view the swf it plays slow and choppy. First, is it possible to write actionscript to load the external swf ,but it stops on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover it continues to play.To put it all in a nutshell, I want to create several buttons throughout the movie with loadmovie functions, once the swf movies are loaded I want them to stop on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover loaded swf movie I want it to continue to play the animation. Should actionscript be applied to the swf movies first and preloaded into the main movie. And what will make the movies run smoothly once it's published and viewed in a browser.Also if this makes a difference, I created the animations in after effects, exported them as FLVs imported them into flash and exported them as swf. Again it runs really slow and choppy

Access Main Swf X,Y From Externally Loaded It?
Jan 7, 2010I have a site that I'm working on that I am loading an external swf page into a main one. The main one is based on a totally liquid state and stretches the background to fill the browser and the components are relatively position based on browser window dimensions.
Now inside of the main swf I load an external swf through the loader command. This swf has a set dimension and stays centered in the stage.
I am trying to make a button in this swf that loads yet another swf that is stretches the full browser. However I do not know how to access the properties of a main swf from this external one, or if this is even possible.
Actionscript 3 :: Getting Information From An Externally Loaded SWF?
Mar 30, 2011So I have an SWF that I've made and I need to appened some instructions to the beginning of the project. I figured the easiest way to do this was to make the animation in a separate SWF then import it to the start of the first one. My problem is that I can't find a reliable way to tell when the first SWF is finished playing. I've googled the heck out of this but I can't seem to find anything that works. For some bizarre reason, no matter what I do the program seems to think that the external SWF only has 2 frames, if I put an ENTER_FRAME listener and trace externalSWF.currentFrame I get "1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2..." My code looks something like this.
[Code]...
Also, for the record, the external SWF plays properly when I add it as a child. The problem is removing it from the stage when it's done playing. It's interactive so I can't just do a frame count.Edit: So I tried doing a getQualifiedClassName() call on extSwf and I got "Instructions_fla::MainTimeline_Preloader_" which could explain the frame discrepency. How can I have access to the actual timeline?

Sep 2, 2009I have the code below working great except for not being able to scale the JPG file once it's loaded.
The code below loads my JPG files into a a group of MovieClips. Once clicked the Current_mc will jump to the top and enlarge. Once clicked again it scales back down. My plan is to load in a large JPG file (800x460) in the loader but have the size be small until someone clicks one to enlarge it. So...long story short I want to know if I can load the JPG file and set it's width and height in the loader
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
pic1_mc.pic1_load.loadMovie("c1.jpg");

one last thing. Is their a way with AS to set "Smoothing" to true? If my images come in smaller they will probably look like crap till they are scaled up to 100%.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Button Over An Externally Loaded SWF?
Oct 9, 2009I'm loading an external SWF file to a container MovieClip (adding it as a child), but have the need to create a button over the loaded SWF.The external SWF should still respond to MouseOver events like it used to.
I tried adding the AS3 created button to the container MovieClip, but it wasn't visible anywhere (the position was right in the middle of the container). Obviously, the SWF shadowed it.
