ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading MovieClips On KeyPress To Multiple Containers
Nov 7, 2005
[URL]. I'm trying to load multiple swf's on a key-press. Loading to one mc is not a problem, but when I try to define multiple containers from multiple sources it doesn't work. This is an XML example:
<menu><item name="item1" >
<sub name="item2" >
<subsub name="item3" action="item3.swf" texte="text.swf"/>
function on menu mc:
function executeAction(action, texte) {
trace(action);
trace(texte);
loadMovie( action, _root.content);
loadMovie( texte, _root.texte);
}

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

I've got a problem with a (seemingly) simple equation that i can't quite figure out.
My problem is as follows:
I've got a pretty basic for loop that creates a 'thumbnail' and puts it next to the previous one (With a little padding) inside a containing movie clip.[code]...

I have an XML file with 1 parent node that has 1 child node inside it. The parent node is straight forward. It only has one attribute.
The child node has 3 attributes in it - Title, Photo, URL
I want my Flash file to have 3 containers - 2 Text list containers and 1 image holder. The first text container will load all of the Names of parent node. The second text container will load all of the Title of the child node.
The 3rd container will be a MC holder that will load the Photo and will link it to the URL specified in child node.
How do I script my Flash file?
Right now, my script is as follows and it successfully loads the name from parent node in one of the containers. I'm confused with other two!
Code:
function onXmlLoaded(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
// make a handle to the root node in the xml

Im trying to load my xml into a pattern that places the information found in a for loop nested inside a contentional MovieClip instance. For example: I have a movie clip (basically a main container) on the root timeline that should load 3 other instances of a movie clip which is just a back ground (or container) I created to present the xml data to the viewer. The Xml data is just a name, date, text, and thumbnail.
I am having issues with making my for loop nest my data from the xml into firstly create instances of the needed movie clips when they are needed and then nest the xml information inside of them...
Right now it works... It just that the information isn't nested so some of the movie clips appear on top of others due to how the code is set up and the display list... I formated it with the setChildIndex so it looks normal, but I want to develop a pattern to where the information fits into the containers correctly.

I'm newly migrating over to AS3, so this may be a silly question, but is there a way to use only one Loader to load in three external swfs into different MC containers on the stage? Or, do I have to specify a new Loader for each swf since I am loading into different containers?
Say I have (containerA, containerB and containerC) on the stage of my main movie -- would it be possible to only use one Loader here to load them all in simultaneously? If so, what would the proper syntax be?
Again, I know this may just be a simple fix, but so far I can only get this working by declaring three different Loaders, and it just seems like there should be a more efficient and simple way to accomplish this.

I'm working with four movie clips- I have each movie clip load an external image and then fade in. These images have to remain on the screen once they are faded in - not replace each other.So I have dragged 4 movie clips into their position on the stage, and gave them a name: m1, m2, m3, m4. Each movie clip is on their own layer in the timeline because they will display on the screen at different times. On each layer I have placed this corresponding code:
Code:
m1.loadMovie("_load/img1.jpg");
m1._alpha=0;

I'm using TLF to lay out a dictionary entry. It's working fairly well, but I need finer grained control of layout than I'm able to achieve through setting style properties on FlowElements, primarily for horizontal spacing and setting padding on SpanElements independently of their parents.
The solution that seems most promising is separating the various elements of the entry into separate containers and flowing the text through them by progressively adding new containers and ContainerControllers for each new element with size set to their content bounds so that the text will flow into each new container.
This ALMOST works, but the text will only flow correctly into the next container if an extra line break is inserted between the two sections of text that should go to different containers. Without the line break, the containers are sized correctly, but no text displays.
In these examples I've added borders to the container sprites so you can see where they're being drawn. Aside from the line break, the text is exactly the same. The syllable field is a SpanElement inside a ParagraphElement. The pronunciation label and text are separate SpanElements inside another ParagraphElement.
[Code]...
As you can see, the pronunciation doesn't show unless a line break is added after the text, but the alignment is then off. No combination of line breaks seems to align them correctly.
Any ideas? Are these bugs in TLF? Should I try a different method? I would really like to have all the text selectable as one unit, and I love the better rendering and control that TLF offers, but I also need the layout flexibility. I suppose it's possible that I could hack something together like this with line breaks and positioning offsets, but it certainly wouldn't be pretty (or maintainable).

I'm currently working on a project that has eight separate movieclips (for loading content) on separate layers. I have placed code in these mc's to randomly draw from the same array of 61 different swf's. Each mc randomizes the array just fine, but here's the problem. The code works great for one instance, but as soon as I add the code (including renaming) to the other mc's, the swf won't load/play. I am not getting an compiler errors, and am kinda stuck as to what the problem may be. Here's an example of the code I'm using. It is the same for each mc, except I'm renaming the variables as well as the instances for each mc.

I'm looking to setup a SWF to effectively act as a library of MovieClips. I'm looking to be able to load up the library SWF in my main SWF, and access the MovieClip's the library SWF contains - play them, move them around etc.
Here's the model I've come up with - which seems to work:
(a) Library SWF:
- Contains MovieClips, with AS3 code held in external files.
- MovieClips setup with linkage as "Export in first frame" and "Export for ActionScript"
[Code]....
... and this all seems to work. Nothing is displayed from the library SWF until I want it to - all seems fine.
Isn't it a bit naff needing all my library MovieClips sitting on the stage on the first frame on the library timeline?

I'm trying to load 3 pictures into 3 movieclips. The code below gives the result of only showing the 3rd image in mc3_mc. According to the traces I'm using, 3 files are being loaded but it seems that my Event.COMPLETE statement is not doing it's job? It seems that the first 2 times addChild is reached the file has not finished loading or the next one has already started to load so addChild doesn't add anything. Only the final iteration gets shown because there is no 'next file' to get in it's way.
Code follows:
var numofiles:int=2;
var counter:Number=0;
var movieIndex:int;
var fileName:String;
var horzLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I have to modify an existing flash 8 movie (not created by me) which uses as2, and is composed of multiple movieclips. One such movieclip holds a textbox (static) which however needs to be updated frequently to show latest news, and because of this now I have to make this movieclip's textbox to read texts from an external file instead, a text file to be precise. How to proceed with this in Flash 8 AS2, whether I need to create a new layer for the as code or add it directly to the movieclip's layer, and also the as 2 code itself, as I tried the following but it is returning an error that cannot load the text file, I also change the textbox from static to dynamic and gave it an instance name Text1 (I once tried something like this in flash cs4 and it worked fine, but in flash 8 its not working.
Code:
var timeStamp:String = "&timeStamp=" + new Date().getTime();
var noCacheUrl:String = "?noCache=" + Math.random() + timeStamp;
var myLVars = new LoadVars();
myLVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success){
_root.mcNews.Text1.text = this.VarEn;
}}
myLVars.load("News_En.txt"+noCacheUrl);

i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....

add some functionality to the presentation template. Currently you can only move from one page to the next. So if I want an animation on a page, no problem I'll just add a stop script at the end. No big deal. But if I want Multiple animations (just trying to replace powerpoint here) then I get into trouble.
Each page is one frame on the main timeline. Hitting left/right goes to the next frame, unless the movieclip on that frame also has additional frames. Then it should move to the next frame within that, etc.
I can't figure out that if statement though. I had another bit of script going on my first go, but ran into some issues so thought it best to create all of the scripting on the main timeline. Initially I created a boolean variable, then ran an if statement. Inside of a movieclip I switched the boolean and used the same keyboard interaction to walk through it. On the last frame of that movieclip, I switched the boolean back so the main timeline interaction kicked in again. The problem is, that's a Lot of copying and pasting of that code, and I can't figure out how to go through more than one parent. I just couldn't get it to work.
Should I just be building this thing in a Completely different way? I need to make something, so for now I'm splitting up each frame that I need different animations on and creating a different movieclip for each section. Ideally that would be contained in one movieclip's timeline. Currently one each animation's interaction will be on a timeline. So I have to duplicate the slide to add an animation. So if I have a title come in, then a pie chart, then an image, then another piece of text, I'll be stuck with 4 separate movie clips.
I want something like:if current movie clip current frame is == total frames, clicking right goes to next frame, else go to next frame of it's parent's timeline.I say the parent and not stage because the way you have to set up transitions only works within a movieclip. So you have to set up the entire slideshow within a movieclip if you want transitions between each slide. Right?
I don't care about transitions for now, but will want control of those eventually.

If I wanted to store multiple, related sprites, would it be more efficient to store them in a container Sprite and cycle through them by child number, or to use an Array.
Code:
//Basically
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
container.addChild (obj1);
container.addChild (obj2);

I am making a website with complete external xml data holding text and urls to images. I have several categories. One of the category has three sub categories as menu. When I click btn1 it gets the xml and start making text field, rectangles, lines and picture frame for thumbnails. Before that I use a single movieClip container to hold all that stuff and then point it to mask and scroller too.That is working fine. Now the problem is that when I click on btn2 I want to remove previous container and make a new one.
Now what happening is that it is creating one more container of different xml and putting over the previous one. I have used removeChild command and it is still not working. It only works if I use it alone and do not create a new container. All this process is done on a movieClip. That movieClip holds container, mask and scroller. The only thing that is made dynamically is the container. Rest of the items are on the timeline of the movieClip. I need to remove container inside of the movieClip and make a new container inside the movieClip.

I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
