I add below codes to my movie clips in (15 new.fla) but don't work. I used same codes to (Invisible Test.fla) and everything ok? I want all mc invisible after moving.
[Code]...
Flash CS4 had been working regularly on my Macbook Pro (Intel - Tiger) for a while, and then suddenly,I opened a file and all the movie clips went from being visible "stills" to invisible and represented only by an "o". I have tried settings, preferences, even uninstall/reinstall, but somehow my settings or something got messed up and I can't view movie clips on the stage.
I have tried a variety of different .fla files and none allow movie clips to be visible on the stage.The files were created in CS4.This is true for movie clips that have 1 frame to many frames.When I Publish or Test Movie, the clip is visible and normal, but it is impossible to edit the file without being able to see the movie clips.I know that the issue is with my installation of Flash/settings being messed up, not with the file(s) because when opened on other computers (CS4 and CS5), movie clips are visible on the stage, as they should be.Example below: In Flash CS4, the stage just has "o"s where I used to be able to see my movie clip, but in the Test Movie, everything is there. To be clear, I could see the movie clips in this exact file, and then the next time I opened it I could no longer see them.
im having an issue with a cursor i made following this tutorial...http:[url]........the cursor works fine with a regular button however i have buttons inside movieclips, i tried it but it isnt working, i keep getting an error in the output...
Error: A 'with' action failed because the specified object did not exist.
I've created a button and placed it inside a movie clip. I've added the below script (as2) on the button however when I Test Movie, the button does not work.
[Code]...
im using this function to load my movies
[Code]...
i then place them into a grid (i load them into a created movie clip called thumbnail) and they are supposed to trace their name (or anything) when rolled over, but i cant put a working rollover on them, nothing happens with perfectly fine code. how to get loaded movie clips to work with button functions?
This is just plain weird to me.This is part of a loop that creates text fields. The movie clip is of course named numholder_mc.
Code:
numholder_mc.createTextField("textfield"+i,i,200,0,100,20);
If I create an empty movie clip "manually" on the stage and instance name it numholder_mc, then this code does not work.
However, if create an empty movie clip using actionscript, it works just fine!
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("numholder_mc",100);
Anyone have any ideas on this one? Its just weird.
I have a movie that loads multiple swf's... Some of these have buttons inside of movie clips, they don't work when the swf is loaded
View 1 RepliesI have a menu which attach movie clips from the library, when I first probed the preloader there were not any linked movie clips, neither png files (because each button in the menu attach a picture which is inside the movie clip) now that I have put the movie clips in the library the preloader doesn't work and I don't know why.
View 4 Repliesit works fine when i apply it on Button Symbols. But when i apply it on Movie clips symbols that i use as button, it failed to work as i expected.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "section1";[code]....
Should i change some thing to make it work on Movie clips symbol??
I place the code in the timeline but I dont know where to place them to make the movie clips work?
* do i have to place them on the time line?
* Do the have to be named a certain Way ?
* Do they have to have some code ?
i am working in cs3 flash, but saving my files to flash 8. i am having an issue with getting an invisible button to work. i never had this problem in flash 8. could you please look at the very simple file attached below and let me know WHY i am getting error messages saying: "warning: this movie uses features not supported in flash 5 player" ?? and "scene=scene 1, layer= invisibleBton, frame=405:Flash mx button instance name"
View 3 RepliesI'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
i have a main loader swf file called loader.swf and it loads 10 swf files inside a container. the 10 swf files have invisible buttons and when i test the 10 swf files alone the invBtn-s are work fine, but when i load them with the loader.swf the invBtn-s simply don't work or react the mouse or anything...

View 1 RepliesAs most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

I have a photo gallery slider type of thingy that loads jpegs with loadMovie into containers. I can mask the entire movie clip but as for the containers,...well I just dont know whats going on here.
After the dublication of an movie clip,
1. I would like to be able to delete one by one the new movie clips
2. I would like to move them all together.... First you press the word green and then click in the blue area.... A green cyrcle will appear.. Click the word green again and then in the blue square and a new green cyrcle will appear. I would like to move the cyrcles with the buttons arrownd the blue square... And when I press delete I would like to delete any cycle I choose... The flash is too large to attach it to the forum, if anyone is interested I can send it by mail.
Does anyone know a good reliable way to get movie clips to point at other movie clips? I use MX 2004.
View 1 RepliesHere's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

I have a problem stopping multiple clips. I have created a presentation using flash and I have many movie clips which have sub movie clips inside of them. Ok lets look at one movie clip in detail. Inside one _root movie there are multiple sub movies; each with a different movieclip labels (each movie clip is named with unique labels ie. north, south, east, west, and What I need to do is be able to STOP all these sub movie clips with one stop, and in turn PLAY these same movie clip with a second action.
The only way I know how to stop all these sub movie clips is to target each and every one individually.

What I'm trying to do is have my Flash piece have custom elements set by an XML file. I'm using ColorTransform. I have a piece that's loaded as a separate movie clip, and I can't figure out how to get to the piece and apply the ColorTransform.
Here's one example of what I'm doing for a different element on the same mc.

So, in this example, I'm setting header_mc to a color specified in the xml. In the case I'm having trouble with, I want to set a color to a movie clip on the timeline and not the main movie
I am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.
Here's the code:
Code: Select allstop();
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RO_DontDrive);
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, ROut_DontDrive);

I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a invisible mc with in 2 other invisible mc's and if so would there be any complications. Im trying to do something similar and it gets to the second layer but then doesnt want to load the third inv-mc. Like loading an external swf to a container mc then in that same mc have another external load and then another.
View 3 RepliesI have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){
