ActionScript 2.0 :: Get "Next" Button To Load Next Movie Clip From XML?

Jul 12, 2004

In my main Flash movie, I have an XML-driven menu that is loading external swf files into a "container" movie clip within the main Flash movie. (I have that part working nicely.)

I want to have "go to next movie" and "go to previous movie" button on the main Flash movie, which would load different external swf files into the container movie clip. My problem is, I don't know how to tell Flash which external swf file should come "next" or "previous" based on what is selected in the XML-driven menu. It seem like I need to pass a "NextMovie" variable through the XML file to the main Flash movie, and then have a button pick up that "NextMovie" variable and use that as the file name of the next external swf to load... but I don't know how to make that work.

how I can get these "next" and "previous" buttons knowing which file to load, all from the XML file?

This is what my xml file looks like, in case that helps.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu name="menu">
<item name="Menu Item 1" action="gotoLoadMovie" variables="somemovie.swf"/>
<item name="Another Item" action="gotoLoadMovie" variables="anothermovie.swf"/>

[Code].....

Get A Movie Clip To Automatically Load Up Another External Clip After Playing An Embedded Flv?

May 24, 2010

I'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.

This is what I've tried so far:

var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);

Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tween Movie Clip Via Button Outside Same Movie Clip?

Apr 8, 2010

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:

Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);

I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:

Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}

to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting A Movie To Load In An Empty Movie Clip?

Oct 17, 2005

trouble getting a movie to load in an empty movie clip. I am hoping I'm missing something simple.I have a button with the instance name SPS_btn on a layer I've called buttons.Below the button layer i've got a layer called movie clips that contains an emptymovie clip called mainStage_mc.I want to load a .swf into into mainStage_mc. both the buttons and their actions occur on the first frame.I have used this code but it not working.

on (release) {loadMovie (new002.swf, mainStage_mc);

I just get a blue area but the movie does not load. I can run the movie fun locally by clicking on new002.swf file.i also tried the behaviors panel, which produces this code but it also doesn't work:

on (release) {loadMovie ("new002.swf",mainStage_mc);
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.mainStage_mc == Number(this.mainStage_mc)){[code]........

for some reason it will load if i use loadMovieNum () but the registration point is in the top right corner and i don't want that.What's the best way to debug this?When i use test movie the output window dosen't show an error but something's wrong.how can I test if is a path problem? A problem with the loaded movie or a problem with something else? the movie new002.swf is 393KB. I tired making a smaller 2kbmovie using the code above and it wouldn't load either.
