Jan 2, 2007I want to change the color of a movie clip, and I've succeeded with the following code:
var my_color:Color = new Color(mc);
my_color.setRGB(0xFF0000); // mc turns red
Now, this is only the start. What I really want is that the color is changed via an external textfile (or similar).
I've gathered that this is possible with the LoadVariables function, but I can't seem to get it right. Does anyone have a solution for this? I'd also like to know how I should format the textfile code (should it be something like this: "&mc=0xFF0000"?)...
ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Place An External Swf File On It In A Desired Position When The Corresponding Page Is Being Loaded + Scaling
Aug 18, 2006I 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] : Making A Switch (button)?
Feb 18, 2009I have made a button to function like a switch in that it has both an on and off state. However, I can only get it to switch between the on and off state once when it's pressed, with nothing happening after it has been turned off.The code is as follows:

ActionScript 2.0 :: CheckBox As Switch For Button On/off
Jul 23, 2011never really used checkBoxes much and wondering what the best AS2 is to use one as a "switch" ?
i.e. place a checkbox which is default unchecked and if the user checks it {do something} and if the user then unchecks it {undo that something}.
I'm thinking about the _alpha of a button or an MC as an example / test.
Check the box: anMC = _alpha 100, unchceck the same box: anMC = _alpha 50.
I'm happy either way with code on the checkbox or an even listener on a frame (preferred) but would like to learn how to use checkBoxes as a switch.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Button To Switch Out From Loaded Swf
May 18, 2011I'm a designer struggling to learn advanced actionscript. It's quite a challenge,
One of the challenge i'm having right now is: I have my main timeline(swf). i'm loading in 2 separate swfs into two separate holders on the main stage/timeline/swf. whatever it's normally called. One of the loaded swfs is a menu and the other is a page. Basically i'm designing a learning application. The menu alllows you to jump to a specific place in the course rather than a next button of sorts which is also in the course.
When a different page is loaded i need for a button(movieclip) that's located in the menu swf to swith out with a new button that's located off the stage somewhere.(these buttons are located in the menu swf off stage) so i need the loaded page swf, to talk to the other loaded swf(menu) everytime it or another page is loaded. I've seen simular references to having a loaded swf talk to the main timeline swf but i haven't been able to find a reference for two loaded swfs thats loaded inside holders, to talk to each other.

Nov 30, 2010I am working on a project which there are two .swf file play side by side simultaneously. I need to use one of the file to control the animation in another file.
If they are in same .swf it should be easy. I can just use:
gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
but there are two .swf now. (lets say movieA and movieB) I think I should use something like:
"LinkToMovieB".gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
"LinkToMovieB" should be the link to movie clip in the movieB file.
my problem is how do I get the link to movie B's movie clip. or there is other proper way to do this task.

Jun 29, 2011I have a flash application in which there is a button. On clicking that button, a pps file should play. What I did is published the flash file in a projector format (.exe), created a folder named 'fscommand' and put the pps file inside that folder, and tried to launch the file lying inside that folder from this flash file by using following codes:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "file.pps"); }
Another way I tried which I found is:created a .bat file named launch.bat, put it in that folder & tried to launch the pps file via this .bat file using following codes:
Actionscript code:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "launch.bat"); }
'launch.bat' file code:

I have been able to do this with button function using a loaded variable and if statements on button release, but I have been unable to replicate this with visibility.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Button The External Swf File Default Loads At 0,0?
Jan 3, 2007I have added this code to a button in my flash file. When the viewer presses the button a external .swf file will load. The problem is how do I specify where it loads. For example, when the viewer hits the button the external swf file default loads at 0,0. If I want it to load somewhere else on the page is there a way to make it load at a certain specified location? Here is the code I am using on the button.
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}
Now this works fine and the swf file is loaded correctly but it is always at the top left corner. How can I go about loading it in a specific place on the flash file? Is there a way to create a holder that would make it load in that certain area?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Use #Include For External .AS File In Complex Button?
Jan 22, 2007On the main timeline I have a movie clip ("Sound Full") on it. The movie clip is being used as a complex rollover button for "revealing" a full sound interface. When the mouse rolls over, the word "Sound" fades out and the panel appears. When rolled off, of course it goes in reverse. I've seen it done in many places...including www.iso50.com.
Anyway, on the timeline for "Sound Full", I have three layers being used for the following...
1) Actions
2) An instance of a graphic symbol ("Sound Text")
3) An instance of a movie clip symbol ("Sound Player)
The Actions are a few lines of code to rewind or play based on whether or not the mouse is over the area or not (as learned directly from [url] And for the instances, I just used motion tweens to have "Sound Text" fading out as "Sound Player" fades in. It's like 5 frames in all. Very quick effect.
The timeline for "Sound Player" is only one frame. Each piece of the player has its own layer (play button, stop button, etc.) and the top layer (also reserved for Actions) has a single line of actionscript where I have written:
[code]...
The problem is that when I test the whole movie...the rollover effects works beautifully, but the buttons in the interface aren't clickable or working at all. I discovered that if I simply tested "Sound Player" by itself...it works perfectly, except there's obviously no rollover effect since "Sound Player" is nested inside of the movie "Sound Full" which is what does the effect.
Does this make sense? Hopefully it does. Anyway, so my question is...
1) Am I missing a basic fundamental rule of Flash in order to make it run smoothly?
2) Is the "tweening" of "Sound Player" possibly messing it up? (Remember, I noticed that when the include line for the external actionscript file was in the same frame as the indiv. player buttons it worked fine.
3) Do you need to see the .fla file to help me out?
4) Bottomline...can you help me out?
