Basically, I have a main .swf, into which I am loading another .swf using loadClip(), on the click of a button. It loads into an empty movie clip on the timeline of the main .swf called container_mc. So far so good, this works.
The problem comes when I am trying to control a movie clip that lives on the timeline of the external .swf. This clip has the instance name test_mc, and I'm trying to control it using the reference _level0.container_mc.test_mc. I have also tried just plain old container_mc.test_mc.
Neither of these work, though when I apply a trace to test_mc with Actionscript on the timeline of the external swf (test_mc.onRelease = function () { trace(this); }), it returns the path _level0.container_mc.test_mc (when clicked on after being loaded into the main movie, obviously).

I have the following code:
Code:
_root.TemplateListener = new Object();
_root.TemplateListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void
{
trace (_root.mcBalloonBase.mcTemplate); // undefined[code]........
The loaded SWF 'bt_latex10.swf' have an instance named 'mcTemplate' in its stage. Since it is being loaded into a new empty movieclip called 'mcBalloonBase' that is at the stage of main movie, why it is returning undefined? How can I access the 'mcTemplate' after it be loaded?
I want to load a PNG image using loadClip() and place it into a movieclip. After the image is loaded I set an event handler, in this case onPress. Now my problem is that the onPress event activates whereever I click on this loaded PNG image. All I want it to do is to only fire the event if I press on a non-transparent area of the PNG image. In the end, I want to load a background image and put this PNG image over it. The PNG image shall act like a mask which tells the background image where I can click and where I'm not supposed to. But before I can do that I need to recognize transparent areas of an imported PNG image.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on an image pre-loader where i get the images i want from their respective url's, and once finished, proceeding to the next page. I have gotten it to load the images as i want/need, through lines of code similar to this:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("imgcont",1);
loader.loadClip("*url to img goes here*",imgcont);
All i'm looking to find is how many of my images have loaded completely. At first, i thought that getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() would have been able to help me, but it seems that the images brought in through loadClip has no weight on how much has been loaded.
Is there any way of determining how much of those images has been loaded?
I have a main Movie that I'm using loadClip into empty HolderMc's. I am using listener inits and they are loading and working fine independently. the main movie loads swf A and B. I have a button in swf A needs to tell swf B (headHolderMc) to change:[code]I've tried _root.headHolderMc._alpha = 100; but nothing works.[code]

Everything runs fine except the progress bar doesn't seem to be monitoring the FOB movieclip.
Some images I load dynamically are too big so I would like to scale them to fit the stage.

this returns 0. Why does it return 0 when the image loaded is obviously much larger then 0 pixels. How do I change the width and height of imgCont to a specified dimension.
I'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons
for (j=1; j<holderArray.length; j++) {

what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.

View 1 RepliesI'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.
View 3 RepliesThis is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.
hide movieclip A when a loaded swf B overlaps that movieclip? movieclip A = level0. loaded swf B = level1
View 3 RepliesI'm making a simple photo gallery, and I'm having trouble loading the thumbnail images. I use the same method (loadClip()) to load the fully sized pictures, and there's no problem there. Even with the thumbnails, I could get the images to load properly when I hard coded each individual thumbnail. The problem is when I try to createEmptyMovieClip() and then loadClip() into these movieclips dynamically, if you will, so it can adjust itself to the number of images in the gallery. I get nothing. No images. Nothing shows up.This is my first time using the createEmptyMovieClip and loadClip methods,
Basically, the code is just creating a new movieclip (mc_thumbnails) to contain all the thumbnails. Then, it should create a new movieclip (inside mc_thumbnails) for each image available. Inside each of these clips (mc_thumbnail1, mc_thumbnail2, etc), the appropriate image should be loaded...
Code:
thumbnailMCLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
thumbnailPreloadObj = new Object();
thumbnailMCLoader.addListener(thumbnailPreloadObj);[code]...
I have used loadClip, and loadMovie a ton of times and have never ran into this problem, so I am hoping someone here can provide me some insight on how to fix this.
I am using loadClip() to load up external SWF's for a portfolio, everything is functioning perfectly, it preloads, it gets all the values from the clips properly, but when the movie loads up the animations from the SWF exceed (or go outside of, and are still visible) the published size. So instead of seeing what I normally see when I publish the SWF, I see everything that happens, even stuff that is meant to appear "off screen", or in the case of the SWF, outside the published size. As far as how I am going about loading up the SWF's, I am just using an empty movieclip and loading them into there.
I'm trying to load a .swf from a sub directory, and I've read that doesn't work. Why will Images load from a subdirectory using the loadClip method then?
View 12 RepliesI've loaded a swf into my project by using loadClip, and now need to put some movieclips over the top of it using attachMovie. All the new movieclips appear behind the loaded movieclip. Is this normal?The movie I have loaded is inside an empty movieclip I've created called "container". Eg:[code]The "sparkle" movie clips are attached much later, on a keypress.

I can not seem to figure out how to do this...

If you attempt to load an image into a movie clip and the load fails, you are unable to attach a library movie clip to it. The code below is from the fla file i attached herewith. All you need is a movieclip in your library with linkage name "Attach_MC" and this script in a 1-frame fla file. Or just download the fla file. What i am trying to do is attach a movieclip with a graphic that says "loading failed" if the load fails, so that it won't be blank but i can't do it unless perhaps by a workaround by placing a reserve clip in the same place (i.e. under a mask).
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var mcGlobal:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("Stage_MC", 0);
var cLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var oListener:Object = new Object();
oListener.onLoadInit = Delgate.create(this, onLoadSuccess);
