View 1 RepliesI need to make multiple copies of a movieclip that I'm loading in via loadclip. I don't want to have to loadclip each time I need a new copy?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently using BulkLoader to load in swfs as MovieClips. What I'm trying to do though is duplicate the loaded movieclips and attach them to other clips?
I seen something that senocular posted about creating duplicates of display objects in AS3 but it didn't seem to work with BulkLoader and swfs?
Is there other ways to duplicate loaded movieclips?
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'm having a really weird problem with loadClip(), using Actionscript 2.0. 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.

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]
View 7 RepliesMy problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I have the following:

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 have developed a script that loads a few images and rotates them based on a timer. Well now I want to use those same loaded images for some thumbnails across the bottom.
Here is some of the code from my initial attempt:
//CREATE ARRAYS TO HOLD BITMAP DATA
var loadedImages:Array = new Array();
var loadedThumbs:Array = new Array();

just a simple question, is it NOW possible to duplicate loaded swf files with AS3? and how to do that?

I'm trying to create a panning feature where the image repeats itself again and again as the image scrolls right or left. It looks as if it is a 360 view of a room. (No warping of sides, just simply repeating the image.)But damn ... how do I duplicate my loaded image so that when the current image starts to scroll off screen, a duplicate one is placed right next to it for a continuous flow?
View 3 RepliesI have read this article about abstracting assets from actionscript:But it requires to set the Linkage Class name. How can I get the same result without setting the linkage class name?What I want to do is to cache a loaded asset, and use the cached version every time I request the same URL. A solution is to clone the loaded DisplayObject, but I think it's unnecessary since I only want a new copy.
View 1 RepliesI am working on an isometric engine called IsoEngine in AS3. I need to duplicate an swf externally loaded. The problem is that after being loaded and duplicated the resulting movieClip lose all its embedded actionScript. Therefore a clip containing 2 or more frames will loop infinitely regardless the stop() that you would have put on the targeted swf fileI am using the following function to duplicate my swf loaded:
var targetClass:Class = Object(loader.content).constructor;
var duplicateisplayObject = new targetClass();
while trying to make a gallery I come across this problem of wanting do duplicate movieclips containing loaded images. Seems like whatever I do, no duplicates. My original script is bigger, but my problem also shows in this little example. The first created image in the mcClip.Holder shows just fine, also the trace and _x commands work. The clip will just not duplicate .
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcClip",this.getNextHig hestDepth());
mcClip.createEmptyMovieClip("Holder",this.getNextH ighestDepth());
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

Is it possible to use duplicateMovieClip to copy a movieClip into another movieclip, or is it only possible to duplicate it inside one and the same containermovieclip?
View 1 RepliesI try to code an as3 where I need to duplicate a mc casted from objects, which are loaded from an XML file. My goal is to make a wrap around effects for animated menu icons that use separate swf files.this is the function I try to create, but my concern is in the else statement:
Code:
private function onItemLoaded(e:Event):void
{
loadedItems++;
var contentitem:MovieClip = MovieClip(loader.content);

I have a movie clip in which I loaded an external JPG to. Well, this movie clip works as a thumbnail and, as I click in it, I want the thumb's image to be loaded ("again") in another movie clip. duplicateMovieCLip does not seem to work.I don't want to load the image twice (as it strikes me as bandwidth waste..). Does this make sense? Or must I be load the image twice? (of course..I could use smaller images for thumbnails..)
