ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Assigning Link ID To A Loaded Image?
Feb 13, 2006
I've been trying to figure out a way to assign a link ID to a loaded image so that I can then attach that clip to various other nested movieclips.
If I load the image into an empty movieclip on the stage that already has a link ID in the library and then try to attach that movieclip to another one using its link ID, it will attach the empty clip from the library and not the one on the stage with my loaded image in it.
This problem has come up from wanting to preload images (using a loading array) but then wanting to attach these images to dynamically generated clips later on, that are nested deep within my movie.
I know that i could load in swfs (with link IDs) instead of jpegs, but I need updates to the site to simply require images added to a folder, rather than a whole lot of swfs with Link IDs created.

I need some help with the actionscript 2, needed to link my xml loaded image to url. This is what I have in my xml file, for the image I need to link to a url:
<image imageUrl="_sustainable_small_1.jpg" />
I am not sure how to add the link tag, in the xml, correctly. Also, I do not know the AS needed, for the .fla file.

I've created a site for a friend www.tracelements.co.nz and had fun doing it. (its basic but it works and I'm still working on it - her cosmetic site design though) the image gallery is based on the Kirupa xml thumbnail gallery, how to tweak the code to change how it looks. it's great, but intimidating to dive in surrounded by such flash genius.
there may be a simple D'oh! answer that escaped me - but here 'tis
on the 'commission a work' page of the I've successfully used
<a href="asfunction:gotoAndPlay,62">contact me</a>
in the XML text, to target frame 62 where the animated closing swf transition plays to the end frame which loads the 'contact' .swf
THE Question - Is there a way to create a similar link where you click the large image in the gallery to link in the same way?
I have tried various permentations of the above in the <link></link> part of the gallery XML without a clue really, i'm trying hard to 'get' how xml works, (reading everything that 'explains' xml), but when I think I have a handle on it and try something, I often get puzzled on why they don't work out.
the relevant gallery AS is
[Code].....
The 'picture' MC registers as clickable but I haven't a clue what to do next to 'make it see' the XML link (which is probably wrong at the moment anyway)

I have a gallery made and the images are loaded using xml. The images are links to larger images, but the problem is, the larger image opens in the same window. Here's the code that calls the images and makes them links:
ActionScript Code:
function callImages() {
_root.myImages_mc = _root.myGallery_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("myImages_mc", _root.myGallery_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

A have a external SWF file that contains an instance of an object that will be used across multiple projects. It's accessible as a public property of the external SWF.When I load the external SWF file using the Loader class everything comes in fine but when I try to assign the value of that property, which traces out as an instance of the correct object, to a local variable the local variable is always null.Below is a dumbed down sample of what I'm trying to accomplish:# Object Class

my problem is that I have made a scrolling text. Now I want one word inside the scrolling text to be a link to another page.
I tried this with an invisible button on a second layer above the word, but the button does not stay on its place on different screens. Is there a solution. Looks to me as a basic thing every web designer ought to know.

for flash 8 I have created a nice flash site to show some portfolio work. I have all the thumbnails in place but I wanted them to open a new HTML window in the size of the portfolio piece. How is this done and will it be blocked by popup blockers. edit: the html page i want to link to is in the same folder as the flash site.

I'm trying to create a movie clip with images that will slide from one image to another using next and previous buttons. I want a sliding effect. For example on this site: [URL] The right side large image you can slide the image by using the arrows. That's exactly what I want...but in flash.

I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox());
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]);
comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.

I am am not a developer but have bought a template which I am modifying to suit my needs. I have made most of the modifications but and stuck on how to change the animation for the image gallery. When I move from one picture to the next the animation effect is something like a bubble burst. This is too flamboyant for me. I would like to change it to something more sleek but have no clue where to start.

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?

Okay, so this little peice of code works perfectly. The author of this code has set the code up so it loads the file you want, and scales it to 150% and rotates it 15 degrees, the problem is, I cant see where in the code you can set what to scale it by or rotate,
Actionscript Code:
]_global.smoothImageLoad = function(imgURL, targetMovie) {var i=0do { i++ } while (eval("_root.smoothImageLoadTemp"+i) != undefined)tmc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("smoothImageL� _root.getNextHighestDepth())tmc.createEmptyMovieClip("ti", tmc.getNextHighestDepth())tmc.tm = targetMoviewith(tmc) {tmcl = new MovieClipLoader()tmcl.onLoadComplete = function() {ti.onEnterFrame = function() {pixelData = new [code]....

basically, each time i hit a letter key on my keyboard, i want a new .swf to load. All of the external .swfs are looped, which is working fine, but for me to get this one to do what it should, i need to press another key to get it to advance to the next frame and play. Since i'm operating it from a loader, i can't get the function to call.
so here's my loader function:
Code:
on (keyPress "e") {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
// Container's positions on stage

how you properly organize dynamically loaded thumbnails from an xml file, into a grid.What I'd like is for the number of columns and rows to be set in the xml file also, and for the flash file to auotmatically fill out the rows / columns based on how many thumbs are in the xml file.
I've found examples of this type of thing in both as3 and as2, but I can't seem to get my as2 version working properly... how to create a thumbnail grid in as2...I don't really want the thumbs to link to a bigger version fo the image...

I have a flash file (a flash navigation bar actually, which gets loaded in all the webpages inside the website). What I am trying to do is place an external swf file on it in a desired position when the corresponding page is being loaded. I am using FlashVars (variable name -> 'movieName') to pass the name of the movie clips. These variables are read by the navigation swf file and the corresponding swf file should be loaded in the area specified. Now, to create a container, I am using createEmptyMovieClip() method which will host all the external swf files.
The swf files are all being loaded but with a lot of problems. First, no matter what I try, the swf file comes at a fixed place (which is way off from where it is supposed to be). I have tried checking if the container loaded the movie before fixing its position but it changed nothing. Although it did change the position of a weird background colour box I am getting when the movie starts loading - which brings me to the second problem.
A rectangular box flashes once when the external swf is loaded, and its position is being affected by whatever I am setting the _x & _y values of the container movies to. I have no idea why it is happening as it doesn't happen when I test that swf seperately.

I have spent some time looking at the Kirupa XML gallery with the thumb navigaition sliderOne problem emerge when i use different sized images (same height, different widths).If one thumbnail is half the width of the others, that thumbnail will be placed directly on top of one of the others. Furthermore if the "large" image also is half the width of the others (which it also is here) it'll get placed starting from the left and have a gray background where there is no image (which makes sense since the background is grey in the .fla).My question is: how i can get the gallery to display all thumbnails with the same spacing between them no matter what width they have (in my case they will all have same height). And if a thumbnail is not as large as the "default size"(for example 67 in height and 100 in width) is it possible to center that image in the "large image" display?
