ActionScript 2.0 :: Load XML Data - Pictures Load Into An Empty Mc Called ImageContainer?
May 3, 2008
The function below belongs to an XML based photoGallery.swf... Its menu is automatically populated from the same XML file as well (thumbnail picture, title, description). The pictures load into an empty mc called imageContainer.In another empty mc called textContainer, I would like to load some text.swf from the xml list as well.How would you include that in the code?
Code:
function loadTmbs () {
var tmbs:XML = new XML ();[code]......
I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader(); loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf")); signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ??? var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip; wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
I want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
I went through Claudio's preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([URL]). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can't get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called "content". And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names!
I'm currently working on a project that contains a lot of data, about 14.000 records. This means an xml file of about 3mb. Now my question is: Should I use the xml file to load all the data at once, or should I use a webservice, that provides the data when I need it? Keep in mind that I'm new to webservices. And if I'm going to use a webservice: How do I store the data, in a mySQL database?How fast is a webservice?
I am trying to recreate a banner I did awhile ago for this [url]... it needs to be the same thing except I need to be able to change the photos in the banner by just changing pictures in a folder.
Is there a way to do this and still keep all of the fading properties and loop?
If loading pictures at runtime, and i want to get the dimensions of the picture, do i have to make a seperate movieclip of each picture in order to do that?
I am working on a new website and for some reason I decided to go with AS 3.0 ... of course there are some problems. I am not a programmer ..just a designer but as3.0 fascinates me and decided to go all code on this(nothing on stage).Here's the thing : I am loading some pictures from xml, and for now I stored everything in 1 movie clip.What I want to do is store each picture into a separate movie clip and then all this movie clips in to the big one that I have now and reference them from there.This is my code to load the pictures into 1 movie clip.
function loadAllPictures2() { var mainLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var mainRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(picturePathList2[e]);
I have a menu.swf dynamically loaded into a site, and when the user clicks a link i want to load a mc into the main.swf. So i have to do loadClip("menu.swf", theotherswfsmc)...
I am working on making a flash site for some lingerie that I made. I have some experience but not much. Instead of placing each image into the video, I would like all of the images and corresponding text description to appear upon loading the page. Do I use XML for this or can I just create a complex array of where the image is located and its corresponding description and then program a function to load it?
What I'm trying to do is, I load thumbnail pictures into a scrollbar, via XML,when a user selects the thumbnail, what I want it to do is: Take the thumbnail bitmapData (66x66) , copy it into an empty movieclip that can be used with multiple instances (there will be 50-100 instances).
I would like load a list of pictures with filenames like that img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3. jpg, etc.. So, I load one and when it's completed I load the next until I get an IOerror because I don't know how many pictures there're but the script doesn't work.[code]
I have made an application in flash, which is more like a photo/video gallery, in it, an event(birthdays parties) can be selected and a scroller appears which contains the thumbnails of all the pictures of that event, and one video appears in another panel,basically one video per event(birthdays and parties) is supported.My problem is that pictures are around 50, and there size can be around 2 MB, sometimes it happens that whole flash CS3 hangs, it is too difficlt to use the application this way...near impossible..these pics are loaded dynamically through xml file and i have used loadMovieClip.loadClip() method to load pics to movieclips and loadMovieClip.onLoadInit() method to resize them to make thumbnail and the main picture in the gallery
I'm trying to load a .swf in a mc called container, the movie loads but not correct.When it's playing, you are only hearing a sound but you don't see the movie. On my harddisk it's working fine but on the Internet it isn't working.
As the title says im trying to load Facebook profile images into flash using AS3,now im pretty far with this but i hit a blockade.[code]Im obtaining the friends list of the current user through some PHP a friend of mine wrote, and accesing their ID's, which i use to load their profile images.
I was taking a look at this great site at the link interior Design. How it's done that gallery? I noticed that the pictures are loaded in order, before they are asked to be shown. When the user clicks on the number of the image, it has already been loaded by the swf.
I am making a site with a scrolling photo gallery. The site is located at [URL]I have a scrolling thumbnail gallery that is perfect for me. I am happy with it with one exception. I used the loadmovie function to make it and for some reason it takes a long time on slower internet for the movie to initially load. What i would like to do is have the movie open up fairly fast and the individual pictures can load once they are clicked. I want to use xml however i don't know how to do it.
I would like to keep the same setup on my photo page but i want to use xml because i think it would be better on loading. I am interested in this type of gallery. [URL] I found this online and put it on my server. I love this gallery I just want these effects and xml layout in my gallery. I dont even have to have the cool fade effects i just need the site to load faster and the pictures to load individually.
I am trying to load a jpg that is in my library to an empty movie clip on the stage when a button is clicked.[code]The instance name of my empty movie clip on the stage is graph2_mc.The IDName of the bitmap(jpg) in the library is RLC01z1.As far as the .temp before attachMovie I just tried that after it wasn't working without it.
I have an empty movie clip which I use to load movies into it...(A) and (B)...
My question is: If I load movie "A", and later on I load "B" (here is my quesion) what happen to the loading process if I need to load "A" again? is goint to load it from scratch or some how stays in the cache?
I have a button in a movie called banner.swf When I click on this button I want a movie called homesub.swf to load but I want to load it through a movie called sub.swf Is this possible?
I want to display images based on the date. Then it changes to the next one. For example for March it would be picture: img01.jpg and for April I would like the flash movie to automatically load the next picture: img02.jpg.
[URL]. It's a tutorial that shows how to create a photo gallery and load the pictures and comments via XML. My problem is the following, the gallery and everything works well, but I when I try to load it into a container then everything messes up. Here's what I have: I have a main movie (the main .swf file) with a container in it, when clicking on one of the buttons from that movie the gallery.swf loads into the container (the gallery is the exact gallery from the tutorial) and it works well, until I press the button to load it again.
It seems that it messes up the value of "p". I tried tracking it, on the first load it tracks normally p=1, 2, 3, 4.... but on the second load it reacts as if it's double tracking it p=0 1, 2 2, 3 3, 2 4 ... It seems that Flash somehow keeps the old value of "p" in mind. I tried reseting it somehow or something but I can't seem to make it work (or maybe I have to rebuild the whole thing?).
It works perfectly if I load it only once but if I load the gallery.swf twice or more times then it goes crazy (or since I have more buttons on the stage, after pressing one and coming back to the gallery, it does the same, it's messed up). How can I "reset" the value of 0 on every load or something? I even tried playing around with unloadMovie but can't figure out how to use it.
