ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 :: Unable To AttachMovie To EmptyMovieClip
Jan 5, 2006
I'm trying to create a scroller menu. The container movieclip will hold several copies of a clip in the library. So I'm trying to create the clip dynamically since it's width will be varying depending on the number of elements it contains.
But when I try to use the attachMovie method on my newly created empty movieclip, nothing shows up! The test_mc will attach if I just say _root.attachMovie, so I don't know if it's a path issue or if emptyMovieClips can't have other clips attached or what.
var emptyClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc", 9);
emptyClip._x = Stage.width / 2;
emptyClip._y = Stage.height / 2;
emptyClip._width = 300;
emptyClip._height = 300;
emptyClip.attachMovie("test_mc", "test_mc", 20);

I'm having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I'll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I've tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it's still not moving out of 0 position:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
my_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",2);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.loadClip("textgauge1.swf", my_mc.container_mc),{x_:371.6, y_:76};

I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm loading an external jpg into an emptyMovieClip (AS1) on the _root timeline and I want to implement a preloader so when the jpg loads it fades in, not show up abruptly.
Here's my code:
Code:
// Load an external Image
function loadImage(imageFile) {
var imageFile;

When I create a new mc:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
and try to attach one into it:
[Code]....
Even when I give the "container" content with [.lineTo()], nothing continious to happen.
I guess it has something to do with the 'emptyness' of the mc, but how to solve?

My problem is that I cant figure out how to draw my movieclip if I dynamicly name it.
However If I address it by using its actual name it works fine.
I have included both working and non-working code.[code]....

when you create an empty movie clip, the registration point is 0,0 as default, I read you can change this by defining the X&Y but my movie Clip's position is defined by stage width and height.Is there another way to define the registration point~?

I have 3 picture slideshows usings XML, the pictures will be changing form time to time that's why i needed it like this.Every slideshow is inside a folder, ej: gal1, gal2, gal3.In every folder i have the images, the flash file (gallery.swf) and the xml file.I have the main movie in wich i have a container where most data shows... and in wich i made an emptymovieclip, called "galMC" (now i know i could have used createEmptymovieclip, but maybe next time)[code]I have tried various methods but i always end up unloading "galMC"...the problme i think is that if i reload the container and click on another slideshow (gal2 or gal3), i see only the first image of the selected slideshow and then and then it starts showing the first slideshow that was loaded, so i guess i need to really UNLOAD that slideshow to load another and this is not hapenning.

I seem to be having a bit of trouble with my code- specifically the attachMovie line in the for loop below. I have a series of movieclips with identifiers named "loc_1", "loc_2", "loc_3" ... which are supposed to load inside the scrollPane which is located on the root timeline. I think I have the problem narrowed down to the first parameter in attachMovie : mcMain.attachMovie("loc_"+i, "loc_"+i, mcMain.getNextHighestDepth()); If I change it to "loc_1" instead of "loc_"+i, it loads the movie clip.... Here's what the AS looks like:

I am adding a bunch of MC's(linkage ID:buttonHolder) dynamically using a for loop and attachMovie. If I want to dynamically add an onRelease function to each of those MCs,so that each of them links to different links how would I accomplish that? here's where i've reached so far..
var depth:Number=0;
var nextY:Number=77;
for (i=0; i<5; i++)

I have a site that plays either .mp3 or .flv files depending on what is selected from the menu. Menu loads in from xml. I get "unable to make connection with server or unable to find flv on server" when I try to play the video. But the video and audio files are all in the same directory and the mp3 files play fine. I think I'm having a problem with the setMedia command. Here's the code that loads the video and audio files.

I download Flash CS5 and I try to execute it without an error message coming in and basically the program does not start.The message goes as follows:
Flash.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?ik_treelsActive@CFlashIK@@QAE_NJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library FlashIK.dll.So then I tried to install the updates via the website and the AdobePatchInstaller.exe and I get this:
Some updates failed to install.
Update is not applicable.
So here I am unable to start Flash CS5. Anyone know a way to fix this issue?
