say i have a main movie, into this movie is loaded another movie on level_1.
is there any actionscript that allows a button inside the loaded movie control the main movie? i.o.w. can a button inside the loaded movie tell the main movie to go to another scene?
+ i am looking for code for that same button to unload the movie it is in itself..
I load a movieclip via:
on(release){
loadMovieNum("detection.swf", 1);
}
So I load it in my current timeline on level 1. Now in the detection.swf is a button that has to control the first movie. (that loaded the swf)
I tried:
on(release){
_level0_root.nextScene();
}
Which did not work. Referencing via _root.nextScene() also, because the loaded swf has its own _root. So how can I control the first movie out of the loaded one?
Basically when loading dynamic text... the .txt will have a simple yes or no inside of it... nothing more nothing less.I've been trying all morning to get a movie clip to begin playing if the value is "yes", and to NOT play if the value is "no"
Basically i have a movie clip on the main time line named WHM. and im loading a dynamic text file into a dynamic text field named player1whm.
I want to be able to change the text file to yes or no on a whim, and if the value is equal to yes... i want the movie clip to begin playing as soon as it loads that value into the box. If it says no then i want that movie clip to continue doing nothing.I have already been successful at getting yes or no to load into the dynamic text box... i just cant seem to get it to control the movie clip.
i'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame.
as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.

Im creating a booklet with turning pages, like the one previously posted, so all the content is loaded dynamically.On the right hand page i have text, of which some lines are interactive.On the left page, i have a hidden text box. When the user clicks on a certain line on the right page, the text box on the left page becomes visible, and the relevant txt is loaded into the text box.Now, i can make the text box on the left page invisible by placing _visible = 0; directly into the actionscript pane of the text box.What i cant do is make it visible by clicking on the right page text. Where should i put the code to make the text box visible?Is it as simple as movieClip._visible = 1; ?

I made a flash animation using timelines and broke my movie up into three clips. The clips run fine in their own time line. I was reading about clip.play() clip.stop() and it seemed like I could do this. I have a main timeline with three frames. Each frame has a movie clip symbol on it. Each movie clip symbol has a timeline a few seconds long in it.I did this because I want to put a click event that will go to a different url depending on which clip the viewer is currently seeing. This swf file will be embedded into an html document.When I run the resulting swf - the three frames on the main timeline zip along like crazy and the movie clips don't play at all. I've tried every combination of stop() and play() I can think of but this is just not working as advertised.My movie clips have instance names of Clip1, Clip2 and Clip3.
1) some sample code that works so that I can run these clips in consecutive order;
2) the appropriate onClick code to use in the main timeline frames for my url events
Here's my problem. I have a movie on a stage (MyMovie) that I can control with start and stop buttons. Let's call it MyMovie. Inside that movie there are 4 layers. Layer one has movie1 which contains a movie created with a movie clip symbol that has been tweened over 60 frames. Layer 2 has a movie clip which has the movement generated by action script using a simple aray. That movie has start and stop buttons controlling the action script movie. Layer 3 has a movie clip (movie3) that is generated using the built feature copy motion as actionscript 3.
I know it's kind of confusing so here's a screenshot of the MyMovie timeline:
Here is the Scene timeline:
The problem I'm running into seems like it should have a simple solution. The first line in the Actionscript for Scene 1 is stop(). I expect MyMovie not to play. The blue outline around the yellow circle is actually a blue circle below the yellow circle. It is the only component of MyMovie that derives it's animation from a tween. It is also the only part of the animation that is stopped. The yellow circle, motion by a tweening a simple array will play with the stop and go buttons and the orange circle animates all the time. Pressing the big go button causes the blue circle to animate, pressing the stop button causes the blue circle to stop, but all the other animations inside MyMovie keep running. I have no control over the embedded movies.
I seems to me that it should be easy to start and stop all elements embedded inside MyMovie by simply stopping MyMovie. There's obviously something that I'm missing here.
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {
loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1);

Is it possible to target a loaded movie within the main timeline and stop sounds in that particular movie only?
View 4 RepliesI'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,
I have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.
My current code is as follows:
All of the following code is in my main.swf
================================
//Location where the external SWFs will load
var Xpos:Number=18;
var Ypos:Number=10;
[Code]...
External swf has no code except for a stop action.
I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.

Greetings. I've been doing this tutorial. [URL] And worked pretty well. In order to adapt to my needs i made it a movie with a drag and drop parameter to be loaded in another movie (with loadMovie or loadMovieNum). The problem is than the movie loads, drags but doesnt drops. Even i tried with the example movie and nothing happens.

my problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
My _root movie is nothing more than a interface with navigation buttons. When someone clicks a button another swf is loaded into an empty movie clip on _root.
My Problem:I understand loaders and use them all the time, however, I still to this day have never gotten a loader to work with loading an external movie into a currently playing movie. (ie: in my _root movie you press the "Searching" button and searching.swf is loaded into _root.contents --> contents is the empty movie clip)So anyways... where does the loader go? The only results I've ever had is as SOON as the loadMovie method is called the movie hangs until the entire movie clip is loaded. Then the loader runs... thus making it totally useless.
I have a movie that opens up full screen and load an external movie into it. No problem there but I want the loaded movie to keep its original size and not resize with the full screen movie. In the screenshot, you see how the yellow external movie loads into the fullscreen green movie. The white rectangle is only for size reference (photoshopped it in) and is not in the actual flash movies. The yellow movie is supposed to be 800x125 pixels but resizes with the fullscreen of the green movie.

I press a button and have an object (a movie clip) move onto the stage - that works ok.When that movie clip gets to a certain spot, I want it to stop - that works ok.I want to be able to press the button again and have it leave the stage - that works ok.Then if I press the button again, it will come back on the stage again - that works ok.when it stops on the stage, I want a part of it to animate just once. I've been trying to do this by putting a second movie clip inside of the first, but it won't work.

i dont think my title made much sense...but here is my question/problem in this flash thing im creating. So, last time my problem was loading the swf into the right level...and it got solved and i figured it out Basically, I'm loading a swf into my main movie, and that loaded movie needs to send important variables to a php script. Those important vars can only be found in the main movie. And so far, the loaded movie is in level9, and I don't want to change that. The important variable name is "id".
