ActionScript 2.0 :: Disable Lower Levels Of Movies, But Not Remove?
Aug 18, 2004
I want to be able to have a movie in _level0. Then when user clicks on a button it will load another movie to _level5. But I want the lower movie to remain visible bit none of it's ruttons be active. I still notice the cursor turn to a finger when I move around areas that are buttons on layer below.
I have tried loading, then unloading lower level, but there is always a blank gap stutter. I have even tried spacing these load and unload commands apart, but no luck.
I have also turned the back graphic of the current layer in to one giant button, but I don't like the button cursor the whole time.
When you have movies in a layer, how can you stop the buttons of the underlying levels from showing through. I don't want the user to think that there is a button on the level showing because the cursor turns into a hand....plus also when clicked it does activate the lower movies actions.
Hiya, I am learning loading movie clips dynamically using the loadMovieNum() function but have run into a problem. When I load a movie into the next layer up from the current movie I still get the hand appearing over where the buttons from the movie on the lower level are (though the lower level movie and its buttons are not visible).
Is there any way I can stop this happening or am I going about things the wrong way?
I have a site with the main content loading on _level2, then I have a contact page that loads over _level2 on _level5. The contact page has a bunch of input text fields, if you use the tab button to go to the next text field it calls on clickable objects on _level2 as well as the text fields... is there a way I can write a script to disable all clickable objects on _level2 while the contact section is loaded, and then enable them once more when I unload _level5?
I am having trouble with unload an loading movies. Basically I am loading a movie into a container, which works a charm:
[Code]....
I want to unload them both when a close button is pressed on the third loaded swf? Also, ideally I would like to add that second movie clip into a container, so I can position it correctly, but when I try copying the code I use on the first, it doesn't seem to work...is it to do with the "root" bit perhaps?
I am creating a presentation which has a main flash and then 3 sub categories to it. Main.fla is nothing but a container to load the other movies into. I could get the the first movie (movie1.swf) to load onto main.swf by using the foll code:
Now the problem is in movie1.swf the menu is like on the 3rd level, i.e. main stage>menu_mc>menu (where the buttons are).
How can I add a code on level "menu" so that when I click button2 or button3 it loads movie2.swf and movie3.swf respectivley onto the main stage. Makes sense or am making it too confusing..
I want to try this breaking a big movie into smaller parts functionality so that I can understand flash more.
Is it possible to preload movies into levels just like you can preload them into movieclips? I want my different movies to be loaded into levels so when a button is pressed, they are already loaded and ready to go. This is what I have so far.[code]...
I have a bit of an actionscripting dilema... I am trying load a movie ontop of another movie, so they are at different levels. This I can do ok, its just that when the new movie is launched and sits ontop of the old movie the buttons from the old are still active and interfere with the top movie. I know I could unload the old movie underneath, but my problem is that I want the user to be able to close the top movie to go back to the bottom movie at the place that they left it.!
i have a movie that has 3 buttons on it..(and there r 7 of these button containing movies being loaded into my main movie...but this is not important in our case i guess.) anyway, each button loads a movie (they r draggable windows) into my main movie, located in different levels (not targets)..the problem is i want to change the alpha and depths of these draggable movies.eg;when i click on a button i want that draggable movie to come forward and set its alpha to 100 and the other two to 30..i could do this by loading the windows in target locations..but i can't do it when i load them in levels..
enebling and desabling MC�s(as buttons) and levels.Frequently I see websites that when you click on one menu item, until something loads the menu is disabled, or in other cases is usua� to see in gallerys, when you click an image the image open on top of things, and you can�t access the button or links being the image.
1- is to put a tranparent button on top of the movie or image that loads whit some closing actionscript, but i think this way is not nice;
2-the second one I though is to write some function for enabling and disabling things, but if I have lot of elements it�s not nice, and the third one is to add a Listener to Stage whit some onMouseDown event that closes the level or the swf loaded.
Having problem enabling buttons on levels other than the _root once they are disabled. I have a feeling it's got something to do with the createEmptyMovieClip.[code]...
I have used the script below to load the mp3 file, but I couldn't do what I used to when I imported the mp3file to stage and I did it there. Is there a way to place fadeout at the end of the music and make the sound lower and lower, is there a way to apply something like that via Action Script?
I am currently doing a project which involves quite a large swf file at the end. I was wondering if anyone knows a way that i can easily make it so that at the begging, when first loading up the flash, it just loads the menu and a couple of other frames, but when i go onto play the game, it will load each level just before you play it, so that the player doesnt get bored from waiting right at the begging for a while when they can wait 5 seconds before each level.
Im pretty sure ive seen this done before but im not sure whether it is preparing it in that time, or downloading it. I want it so that there will be a 10-20 second wait for the game to load up, then you go to the menu, press play, loads the next frame, or certain number of frames, you play that level, then it keeps on doing this for all the levels.
I have a movie called "my.fla" in which I attach some MC's.I also have buttons that load swf's in a "container".But when I test the buttons,the attached MC's in "my.fla" keep appearing before the swf loads.I tried EVERYTHING with removeMovieClip,but I can't get it to work(The swf's I load also have attachMovie in them)
I am new in Flash and Currently, I use Flash Pro CS5 to create new movies and modify old movies.
When I publish the movie I developed it comes with two white blank sides and i tried to change the Publish settings like Dimensions and Scale and publish the flash movie but the white blank sides did not disappear ?
I want that the flash movie has all the space of the dispaly window so that no white space appears when I view it in normal or maximized or full-screen view modes ?
Im new to AS3, and i have to use it for my current project. I have used the AS2 Transform tool extensively, but needless to say, the AS3 version works entirely differently.[code]...

I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound(); musicSound.attachSound("music"); musicSound.start(); to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far
I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
[Code]...
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?
I am creating a calendar and only one part isnt work. That part is the movie (mc_nav). I have the mc_nav movie on each month's stage. The buttons are named correctly since I used normal modes reference thingy to double check the references. I am trying to have it move to the next frame in the movie, or back, or to the 3rd frame etc. The first section (NAVIGATION BUTTON LINKS) works fine. It is just when I try to navigate on the Scene 1 stage, from a movie within a movie, that the trouble arises. Each of the month movies (mc_sep, mc_oct, etc) have mc_nav placed on them. Then the month movies are placed in Scene 1 on each of their respective frames (mc_sep = 4, mc_oct = 5, etc). When testing the movie and I am sent to any month page, the navigation (mc_nav) wont work. The syntax according to the flash debugger is correct. The action script goes all the way through to the last frame (13) and the stop(); command is set to stop the movie at frame 3 (the splash page).
I have 30 values coming from an xml file, and I need to programatically find out which of them is the lowest, then I need also to find out exactly where it is located, so I can get the value that is located next. What I mean is:
Let's suppose that on the following xml, Cat2 is the lowest value, I need not only to print Cat2, but also Dog1. So, I will need to find out how to get Dog1 knowing that Cat2 is the lowest value.
I'm working with Adobe Flash CS4. designing website it's a tour guide so it has a lots of pictures in it that's making the file too large so when i test it takes awful long time or doesn't shows me anything at all.
