If i set-up a scene with buttons and interface i want to press a button to load a movie but not covering the whole page (template) just to be shown in a section, how do i got about doing that?
View 1 RepliesI have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.

I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
Let me descibe the method of my website fuctionality first, The hole website builded with AS2, The menu of this website call external swf files with xml (each section have swf file and xml file). When I click on the first section of the menu the external swf file loaded perfectly but when I call the second one the first one appear again. I tried to clear the cache between each selection but the same problem exist.

View 1 RepliesI've managed to create some small and successful movie animations which loop when place on a website.What I'm trying to do is to have a movie which has a intro section which plays for about 15 seconds or so then moves onto the main body of the movie which then loops without showing the intro section again.
View 3 RepliesI want to say that the code I am working with is the same found here: [URL] The code is working perfectly (pictures are displaying) when opening the file, work_diesel.swf by itself. However, my problems occur when I open default.swf, and then navigating to the section work. From there I hit advertising, and in that section DIESEL. HERE is where the problem is visible. The pictures are not loading AT ALL when doing it this way (the correct and final way).
I am just wondering if anyone can pin point the problem for me so I can change it. It must be said that the work_diesel.swf is loading from an external source into default.swf.
On my site I have 5 buttons for navagation along the top, when you go to the Photos section there is a button that appears on stage and, when clicked, loads an external swf onto the stage, no problems so far.If I or the user clicks this button to load this external swf onto the stage and then clicks one of the other navagation buttons to go to a different section of the site, that external swf doesn't disappear.

Now what I am having an issue with is the gallary section is to small as it loads into the bottom of my movie (_parent). What I have decided to do is stop this process all together and have it go to a new url in a new window. Which is basic for you guys. If I take out the code under the on (release) section is it just a matter of a gotourl to get the page to open. The website is www.daemondesigns.com and originally was purchased as a template and so far have been able to put in all the new graphics and make text changes correctly with a few minor adjustments still needed. Ive got a book on actionscript 3.0 that I am just starting to make my way through but have a deadline that I may not make for this new gallery.
Flash CS4/Actionscript 3 I am trying to create a section for a site where mousing over a button will play a certain frame of a movie clip, which is sitting next to the button. Mousing over different buttons will play (and stop) different frames in the movie clip.

So i guess my questions is should i add the load movie code before this code or what. how do i make this apply to loading the actuall external swf files??
I created a Flash movie (header.swf) that did some animation then at the end, loaded another into it using this command: loadMovie ("scrolling3. swf","_root.dropZone");It loads and plays just fine. Then I created another movie (video2.swf), that loads a movie in the same fashion: loadMovie ("tom2.swf","_root.mcTom");By itself, this movie (video2.swf) runs just fine.But now, when I wanted header.swf to load video2.swf it loads it, but the movie clip tom2.swf does not run. It just shows up as a white square in the corner. What am I doing wrong?I have tried many of the examples from threads that I have read hear and cannot get it to work.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

My _root movie is nothing more than a interface with navigation buttons. When someone clicks a button another swf is loaded into an empty movie clip on _root.
My Problem:I understand loaders and use them all the time, however, I still to this day have never gotten a loader to work with loading an external movie into a currently playing movie. (ie: in my _root movie you press the "Searching" button and searching.swf is loaded into _root.contents --> contents is the empty movie clip)So anyways... where does the loader go? The only results I've ever had is as SOON as the loadMovie method is called the movie hangs until the entire movie clip is loaded. Then the loader runs... thus making it totally useless.
I would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?
I have a button ( 3 buttons ) and each button is assigned to Load a movie. When you click one of the buttons, the LoadMovie on Level 1 is good. Now here is my problem, how will I unload the current movie before Loading the next one. I want to UNLOAD the CURRENT MOVIE first before loading another MOVIE.

I'm loading movies into a container loader BUT when I load in one of my games it runs real slow. Is it because I should have removed other movies first ie: They seem to be all in there and stacked on top of each other.

MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.startLoad);function startLoad(e:MouseEvent){ var mLoader:Loader = new Loader()

I have and SWF file I created from a PDF through Print2Flash. I am trying to bring it into another SWF file which is my navigation shell.
I am trying a simple test to load it and it work fine all the way up to when its time to resize. This is AS3 and this is the code I am working on:
[Code]...
This seems to work as long as I dont try to resize the container. repositioning the containg alone the X and Y works....but when I add the resize of the container to 800 x 800, I get nocompiler errors but the SWF doesnt seem to load either. Can someone let me know why this would be the case? I have found other threads concerning this but still the SWF I am bringing in just will not show when I add the width and height resize.
My scenario is that i have host swf that is of as3 and need to load an as2 movie into it.Now I need to control the as2 movie for keeping the host as3 swf and the as2 swf in sync. To do that I am using a local connection. But the problem i'm facing is that, when as2 loaded via as3 movie, I don't see as2 events being fired. For example, I kept a trace in onEnterFrame in as2 movie. Stand-alone I could see the traces. But when loaded from as3 movie, I could not see any of them.
I have 3 movie clips Loader as3 movie AS2 wrapper movie (Generic for all AS2 movies that will have local connection code.this will get msgs from as3 and internally does what ever we wanted) the actual as2 movie to be loaded into as3
I have a function that loads and XML file. Which populates a scrollbar with images. I have three sections in my application Education, Hospital and Retail. The images being loaded differ in these 3 sections only by there placement. So for example, in education the image order is 1, 2, 3. For Hospital the image order needs to be 3,1,2 and of course Retail is say is 2,3,1. I might add that more then 20 images are being loaded and it is only the first 3 that need shuffled.
I want to use the same XML file for each section. Rather than duplicated the code 3 times and write 3 different XML files, can I move the images to the correct position say using a if statement like if(education == true); then image order = this; or if(hospital == true); then image order = this. Does that make sense? Is that even doable?

I have a menu with 4 buttons, once clicked each button sends you to its corresponding section (frame label). Each section has a different loading animation. Once in a section I would like to go to another but before this that section's specific transition animation must play. Now I've looked around and all I can find is how to do this with a universal transition animation.

Is it possible to test only a section of animation in a timeline? I'm trying to refine the last bit of animation at the end, and would prefer not to watch it all from the beginning again.
View 8 RepliesI am going to redesign a website and for that website I want there to be a news section on the homepage. The news section should be built in Flash with images representing news headlines animating on a loop however a user should be able to click one of these images and then within the homepage a Flash pop up will appear with the news article. This is similar to sites that have an image gallery with thumbnails of images but when an thumbnail is clicked then the full size image loads within the same webpage. I want a similar effect but in my case, when a full size image is clicked, a text based news article loads.
