I used the example on this site to load movies. I am using flash mx but I need to save it as flash 5.
on (release) {
set("f_movie", eval("movie" add x));
loadMovie(f_movie, "container");
}
I worked out how to load them dynamically.. form the database. How do I load it automatically without pressing a button.
develop a header splash like you see on many sites now.I have a few ideas. One is a list of images or clips with images embedded.On load teh first image loads up, then after a set time (30 secs),the second image fades in, the first fades out,and etc.looping.

View 1 RepliesI have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far
I am developing a web site with .net and there is a page named loadanymovie.aspx
I want to call the swf movie file name dynamically by code (by querystring, such as : www.mysite.com/loadanymovie.aspx?moviename=1)
i used following code for this :
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Len(Request.QueryString("st")) > 0 Then
[Code].....
this code works and doesnt produce any error. But i cannot see the movie at internet explorer. (i can see it at chrome browser)
im getting a bit stuck with trying to attach movieclips according to a randomized array (for a card game
tempx = 210;
tempy = 315;
for (i = 0; i <13; i ++)
[Code]....
all it seems to do is writeover every card with the next one so all im left with is the last card of the hand being shown
When I dynamically / randomly attach movies to the stage I dont want my movies to overlap eachother... How to do this? I tried using hitTest but that didnt work for me, so I wrote some kind of hittest function myself... but that doesn't work right either.
View 4 RepliesI'm dynamically creating buttons for review to the user. The buttons are determined from test questions that they missed and the missed questions are stored in an array called categories. There can be multiple instances of the same name inside the category array so I'm weeding them out into the holder array so that there is only one occurrence of each category. The problem lies with my onRelease section of the code. All of the buttons and labels are created fine but the buttons don't do anything
stop();
var holder:String;
var holderArray:Array = new Array();

I have a List that displays the contents of an SQlite database I have created. However, When I run the function to delete one of the user-selected items from the database, the items is still displayed until I refresh the View (right now by clicking 'home' and the reentering the View). How can I get the list to automatically update when the user deletes an item? [code]...

View 6 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to.An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found here: [URL]
I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable.As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
Code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;

I have always the argument with my colleagues which authoring strategy to use. I always attached to the idea of authoring several swf files, and have them all loaded to the main swf when needed. And than attach Preloader to each swf that I load.
Others think that it should be only one swf with one preloader. And have all the navigation to use scenes or goto actions.
So the advantage of using my strategy is that users will not wait too long for one movie when its being loaded. And its more convenient to work on several fla with each have its own layers, symbols, etc
I want to create a website having one main stage file(main.fla) with different swfs(movie1.swf, movie2.swf,movie3.swf) for various sections. Am not sure what I am doing wrong here but somehow when I click the button it does not load the respective flash file
View 6 RepliesI am creating a presentation which has a main flash and then 3 sub categories to it. Main.fla is nothing but a container to load the other movies into. I could get the the first movie (movie1.swf) to load onto main.swf by using the foll code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc",1);
empty_mc.loadMovie("movie1.swf");
empty_mc.x=0;
empty_mc.y=0;
Now the problem is in movie1.swf the menu is like on the 3rd level, i.e. main stage>menu_mc>menu (where the buttons are).
How can I add a code on level "menu" so that when I click button2 or button3 it loads movie2.swf and movie3.swf respectivley onto the main stage. Makes sense or am making it too confusing..
I want to try this breaking a big movie into smaller parts functionality so that I can understand flash more.
Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

View 7 RepliesI read the tuts on dynamic loading etc (the one about external stuff like mp3s, jpgs, swfs; and the one with the transitions). I'm messing around with it in MX and all works fine, except the problem I have is I cant check it locally! the bandwidth simulator and profiler doesnt seem to work with loading external content, the movie appears immediately.
So I tried loading the swf from the web (i.e. URL = file://[URL]) that gave errors "opening file" (the movie is there though). my only solution so far is to keep uploading my movie everytime I wanna check it!!! which is CRAP! I dont have a network at home, so cant really use those bandwidth simulators I saw on the sticky. basically I juz wanna load an external movie, and see how the parent movie handles it (i.e. progress is kept track of correctly, loaded notifications work etc.) how can I check all this locally?
I got this tutorial about external movie loading. It works but it seems that their is a little problem with it. How do you keep the button from loading an external movie once it's loaded already?

View 2 RepliesI have a bit of an actionscripting dilema... I am trying load a movie ontop of another movie, so they are at different levels. This I can do ok, its just that when the new movie is launched and sits ontop of the old movie the buttons from the old are still active and interfere with the top movie. I know I could unload the old movie underneath, but my problem is that I want the user to be able to close the top movie to go back to the bottom movie at the place that they left it.!
