This is my first post, I'm a newby on Action Script and I'm having some problems when using loadMovie.The script that I'm using is very simple[code]...
The movie loads ok but it doesn't play as it should and I think it must be something concerning the fact that the frame is being loaded on the main timeline, anyway I tried usn loadMovieNum using the following [code]...
how to target a mc properly after loadMovie. I have a swf where an mc is copied 15 times (so a 4*4 grid is formed) like this:
Code:
Movieclip.prototype.duplicateMC = function(){
amount = 16
x = 1;
y = 0;
[code]....
This works fine. However, when I load it into another movie with loadMovie, it doesn't work anymore because of the _root that I use.
I thought that using _parent["copy"+i]._x += 50*x; would do the trick, but it doesn't.....
I'm loading an external movieclip into an empty movieclip which is inside of another movieclip. But the movieclip I'm loading isn't properly centering to the top movieclip.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("side2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.side2.loadMovie("skins/default/red.swf");
this.side2._x = this._x;
[Code]....
Way way way off of the top movieclip. I'd at least expect side2's 0,0 point to be in the upper left which would snap to the center point of this. But not even close.
I'm working on redoing some very old HTML/Javascript effects on a client's website using Flash for better browser compatibility. On one of the pages, there is a SWF on/off audio button that when the page loads immediately starts playing audio (I didn't make this myself, it's already on the site). When you click the button, the sound goes off, and on again when you click a second time.
I downloaded the SWF and whenever I open it up in Flash player it functions fine, as it should. However, when I try to load it into an empty movie clip on the FLA I'm working on, it doesn't work. You have to click the button to get the audio to play, and then it won't turn off again. It's very odd.I'm using CS4 and AS2. Here's the code I'm using to load the SWF. "Sound" is the empty movie clip. It loads, but just doesn't function properly and I can't seem to fix it. I don't understand why the SWF isn't functioning as it does when you open it in Flash player.
Code:
loadMovie("cs_clip.swf", "sound");
I am loading an external SWF using loadMovie. I do not want the movie clip to start playing because I will be controlling it, but I can not figure out how to load it without having it play automatically. Below is the actionscript I am currently using and for some reason it still plays.
Code:
loadMovie("file.swf","empty");
empty.stop();

I am having trouble with editing my flash template in flash cs4. When I try to play the fla file in the timeline it does not play everything in each layer. I have made no changes to the exisiting files in the template at all but there is only a partial background and some text playing.I have tried two other fla files from templates and they are the same.
View 1 RepliesI've looked around on google and i see you cant play video in reverse properly because of keyframe issues and you can use prevFrame on movieclips with data on frame, but this second way, i've tried by using Tweener class, and has some "clunky" moments.So does someone know a good way that plays smooth in reverse either a movieclip or a video or both?
View 3 RepliesI am experiencing a very weird issue with both jquery2flash players,this is how i am callin flowplayer:[code]this is how i am calling jwplayer:[code]The problem is that in both even if you click on the play button, the video will start but the play icon won't hide Also, in flowplayer the player will add an extra instance of the video (or at least the sound) each time you click the play button.I am really not sure why this won't work as expected, what am i missing here?Also, the volume controls won't work.URL....
View 2 RepliesAnyway I am having problems with my flash file. I am calling a movie through actionscript using the loadMovie command into a container (movieclip) on stage. The code i have used is below;
Code:
var MoviePath =Path[slide_count];
loadMovie(MoviePath, loader_mc);;
The movie files are stored externally, and i have set the paths into an array as there is multple movies.
The problem I am having is pausing the actual movie and resuming it when they clicked on a particulr button on stage.
I have used this two codes when they click the pause button. But am not sure why it is not working.
Code:
this.loader_mc.stop();
this.loader_mc.play();
I have traced to see whether the button is working or not and it seems to be responding when i click on the button. Just that the movie is not pausing.
The whole flash file is set on one scene with buttons on the one layer, the actionscript on another, and the movie container (loader_mc) is on its own layer as well.
Any support will be well recieved, as I have wrapped my brain around this and cant seem to solve it. I have tried various combination as well. being,
_root.stop();
_root.loader_mc.stop();
_this.loader_mc.stop();
After I updated Adobe flash player I noticed that videos I streamed did not play correctly.A video will begin to play but part way through it will freeze. It will indicate that it is buffering but it never finishes buffering and never continues to play, even if I refresh it.This occurs for several sites such as youtube, megavideo, and wisevid. This occurs for every browser I have tried (Firefox, IE, and Opera.) I also realized today that now iTunes cannot not download video either. When I try it says that parts of the files seem to be corrupted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash several times but that has not helped. I am using Adobe 10.1 (under version test it says it is WIN 10,1,53,64) and I have Windows 7
View 1 RepliesI've read the reference here,but it seems to me that I can only make it work with live OR recorded videos.How can I make it work with both live AND recorded videos?
View 7 RepliesIm using loadMovie within a .swf on level 1 to load an external movie into level 2. But when this happens the sound function doesnt work. The 2nd movie being loaded has the newsound defined and everything within itself. It plays if i run that swf seperately or using ctrl+enter. Yet when the 1st movie calls the 2nd movie onto level 1 at runtime.The sound in the 2nd movie doesnt play. But its button sounds all seem to be working.
View 1 RepliesJust got into flash about 8 months ago and have an assignment for AS2. (Personally I like AS3, but I have to work the parameters of the project). My question: I have a loadMovie command on the 1st frame of my timeline. How can I play a movieClip from the library and leave it on the stage before the loadMovie. I can provide more details and the code i have so far if needed.
View 2 RepliesI have on one file (player1.fla), a movie that plays MP3s from an array, which I specify in that movie. The code for that works just fine.I've duplicated the file and renamed it to a different one (player2.fla) so I could load the MP3s from a variable (array) on a text file. This way, to add more songs, all I would have to do is update the text file.
I changed the code around a tiny bit in the "player2.fla" file to accomodate for loading a text file, but nothing more.*My Problem* The text file loads properly and displays the Title of the mp3, but it won't play the mp3.The text file looks something like this: (just an example)
Code:
&songs=song1.mp3, song2.mp3, song3.mp3
&songTitles=my song1, my newer song, the third song
My script is very similar to this: (shortened; just an example)
Code:
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {[code]......
I have loaded a .flv in a Wordpress site KeepMachSpecialdotorgdotuk and used the following code - the sources have to be in different places. The video is only half loading (top half) in Safari and I think there's probs with IE.

I have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.
I'm loading XML, but I'm having trouble making a for loop so that I can output into text fields my xml info.I use this to load and put into the output window. Eventually I will put it into a text field.What I want really to do is for flash to output a list. This is what I want it to look like.
PHP Code:
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var output:String = "";
[code]....
If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different TOURNAMENTS. What I want is to have them all in a list.
I have a page with buttons and i want the buttons to grow on click, get bright on mouse over, get brighter on click, go back to original on mouse out (Unless clicked). Then I want the current selected button to shrink and return to normal alpha upon clicking another button. This is the code i have, and it works pretty well:
Actionscript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;homeClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,

I have an application program that loads and unloads other swf into it. For example, I have 4 different swfs that are loaded and unloaded via:
[Code]....
They all load fine, but when it comes time to unload one and then load another, I get : Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. Everything seems to still work correctly. The next swf appears to load completely, so I assume it is that the previous swf is not completely unloading. Is there an eventListener or something that I should be using when unloading before I load another swf? I am loading and unloading the swfs like this:

I've got a function which looks at movieclips (ball#_mc) which have been placed in a target zone (_ballPlaced[#] boolean). It then decides where to go on each movieclip timeline depending on which other balls have been placed in a target zone.Only the first condition is ever met, i.e. when all the balls are in a zone, they jump to their correct places in their timelines....however, it doesn't work for any of the other 'else if' conditions?
Here's my code...
// function to determine which video to play for each ballprivate function playVideo(event:Event):void { if (ball0_mc._ballPlaced[0] && ball1_mc._ballPlaced[1] && ball2_mc._ballPlaced[2] && ball3_mc._ballPlaced[3]) { ball0_mc.gotoAndPlay("BluYelRedGre");

I've got a customized xml driven flv player that I have output as an swf. It looks and works perfectly[url]...
However, when that very swf file is called into another swf file via the UILoader componenent, those modifications don't show up.[url]... The red text is now white and the orange fade-up blinks black first.
On scene 1 I have a preloader on first frame then the main mivi is on scene 2
When I simulate the download in flash API it works fine. But when it's online it waits until the swf is fully loaded then just plys scene 2
My XML isn't exactly doing what I want. It's putting a lot of 'undefined' entries in my Flash file and it's not updating correctly and I don't know why it's doing that.Top square is add entry to XML, button square returns to the 'room'.
This is my Script:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
//Import Stuff
public class AddQuestionMenu extends MovieClip
[code].....
Normally this swf works fine if it is inserted in a html page but with this type of code it is not visible. I appended below the code to look into. The name of the swf is "cdl_flash.swf"
[Code]...
I've been working on a drop-menu and my buttons are contained within a MovieClip. Problem lies with the rollOver(), rollOut() methods.
Whenever I rollOver, the buttons that are revealed dont fall unter the 'hit area' of the button that animates the movieClip. (If that made any sense)... so, after searching the forums here and stopping by Macromedia and searching their Knowledge base/Forums, I am convinced I need to use the hitTest() [MovieClip.hitTest()]I just dont know how to use this function/method, whatever you wanna call it. (What is it called BTW?)
i went through the ActionScript 3 XML Basics tutorial and had no problems initially.i get the following AS error in them:[code]and if i look at the raw XML from the source (URL...) and run w3c validator on it, everything's valid. but if i take the traced output of the xml from within flash and validate it i get similar errors about malformed xml. here's what the xml looks like inside of flash:[code] URL...
View 4 RepliesI am VERY green when it comes to flash and this is my first ever project. What Im trying to accomplish; *a website for myself that is "simple" and clean to be used as an art portfolio/gallery of my work. -three sets of buttons that go to three pages all with carousels that hold my artwork for that type (ie. press the concept art button and it loads page 2 where there is a photo carousel that containing my concept art pieces.
-clicking another button will then call for a new page with a new carousel (I have three types of art that I am showcasing: concept art, fine art, 3D game art)
I have managed to create a flash page that has my name and the buttons and upon pressing the buttons it goes to the page I need. However the pages are at the moment empty due to the fact that I cannot get the carousels to work properly. I have watched the tutorial and dl the class package on 3D carousels. I changed the .as file within the package so that my carousel will be vertical by changing imc.x = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450; to imc.y = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450;
