ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading An Animation In A Target MC
Apr 27, 2008
I'm working on a bit of flash that has some actionscript in it the randomly generates different snowflakes that move upwards on the stage. Problem is I need them to load into a target mc rather than on the top level of the main timeline and I don't know how to amend the code.
The code I'm using is:
snowNumber = 60;
var flakes:Array = new Array("flake1", "flake2", "flake3","flake4","flake5","flake6")
for (i=0; i<snowNumber; i++) {

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

In my animation I have a button utilizing the tellTarget command to activate another movieclip (which contains an effect for the button). The button and the "effect movieclip" (each on their own layer) are inside a movieclip called MC_mm_buttons which again is inside the main .swf
When I test my .swf the output window gives me this error message:
Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"
I isolated the button and its effect movieclip simply by making them again, from scratch, in a new document.. everything works fine, so I've got the tellTarget command and the interaction between the button and its movieclip nailed down. Now, I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with me needing to specify that the effect movieclip (in my real .swf) is inside another movie clip and on a different layer.. My button and movieclip are in the same movieclip but each on a layer of their own, the movieclip has an instance name of "test" and the button has a script like this:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("in")
}} on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("out")
}}
When I roll the mouse over the button, the output window gives me this:
Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"

I have a movieclip playing and when I click a certain button I want the movieclip to first play an "outro" animation (which is also inside the movieclip) then go to the real target of the button. For example, I am at the Homepage of my website then I click on the Contact button. The homepage will first go to Homepage's outro animation then go to the Contact page. I need the button to recognize the page/clip being played and the page it will go to.

Ive got 2 swf files. A.swf and B.swf A.swf is my main page. When a button is pushed, B.swf is loaded into a target in A.swf.That's no problem. What I'm unsure about is this:I want to be able to click a button inside B.swf, which will tell "A" to load a different movie in "B's" place.

i just did the loading movie into target tutorial on this site [URL] it worked fine, but when i went to apply the function to a button inside my drop down menu movie clip nothing happened. i am assuming it has to do with the fact that the movie clip button and the main movie are on different timelines. I thought the _root function would tell it to load the movie in the main timeline and not the drop down menu movie clips timeline.

I am trying to build a menu, that loads external swf to target movie clip, in the code below it works if I remove the line target removeChild, but then if a press the other button, just put it on top, so my actual problem is that if I don't have anything loaded in target, this code doesn't work because it can remove child?
menu.btn_avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goseccion);
menu.btn_professors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gofotos);
function goseccion(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var main:Loader = new Loader();
main.load(new URLRequest("seccion_basica.swf"));
target.removeChildAt(0);
target.addChild(main);

I have been loading an swf to target by using namedMC.loadmovie ("path+name", _levelN) altho I notice there is another method suggested here about using createEmptyMovieClip so it is all in script. Can anyone suggest a way of preloading all my separate swf files and then playing them at various specified points, like when the previous animation is finished/finishing. I have tried things like altering the _alpha and using namedMC.stop(); and namedMC.play(); but that aint working.

When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded? FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.

I'm looking for an alternative to using:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyFunction);
The problem I am encountering is that eventListener above works fine on its own(stand-alone swf), but when loading an .swf externally into another .swf, the listener fails with the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
How can you target the event listener when loading as an external .swf differently?

I am trying to have one single loader for different buttons to load their specific target. lets say I have btnOne and btnTwo, each of them have their page to link to, btnOne to pageOne, btnTwo to pageTwo, page one and two are external swfs. so can I load them into stage by sharing one single loader?
this is simply my script:
ActionScript Code:
var swfURL:String = ("external.swf");
btnOne.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);
btnTwo.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);

I've created a progress bar animation to load an external SWF file as described in this document: [URL] The problem is, the SWF file i want to load is a magazine exported from Indesign, so I want it to display one page (frame) at a time (you can go to the next page using the navigation buttons provided). When I use the method mentioned above the clip loads, but then it plays... so how can i make it stop at the first frame?

I have an animation that is timeline based. The file size is around 900kb for the entire project, as it has numerous images at different stages.
How does flash determine when to start playing the movie? Is it based on a percentage of loaded size or does it load assets as it moves along?

I have a swf published into the web, I noticed that Adobe has provided some basic sort of loading animation, as I can see it when I loading the swf(including the library swf, the overall size exceeds 1M bytes). My question how can I add some text into it, like percentage? Or further more, can I write my own "swf loading progress bar"?
I am using flash builder 4.

I am using a loading bar with % (percentage) . Everything seems to be working properly but its giving a little problem , it load 25% and then shows the loading bar. That mean while loading till 25% of the movie the is completely blank. Which is quite annoying and recognized as a bug. Required help from the actionscripting expertise. For further reference I have uploaded the site on this address : http:[url]....
The script I am using
1st frame
PHP Code:
txtPercentage = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100) add "% Loaded"; tellTarget ("loader") { gotoAndPlay(Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)); }
2nd frame
PHP Code:
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) { nextScene(); } else { gotoAndPlay(1); }
And a instance name : loader with containing 100 frames loading bar animation.

Basically I have a remote with forward, play, stop, and rewind. There are 5 songs. The mc, called player is within the main timeline. First thing I want it is to load the nomusic animation... which is a mc within the player mc. then when the music loads it'll play the workign animation when the song loads.also i'm trying to avoid going to different keyframes and states. so when song 1 is played, and if the forward button is pressed i want it to go the next song. etc...

This is a photo portfolio and displays images that scale up to view reasonably well on even a 30-inch monitor very large. So images are capped around 300k each. This in and of itself is not a problem as I've seen other sites load many images of this size with no issues. Problem I'm having is that at some point--presumably the end of the load--the size of the image causes the player to stutter and so the scrolling motion that is occurring as these images load in the background gets jacked up and looks terrible.
You can see what I'm talking about here: [URL]
I've code in place right now that adds the image to the display list only between scrolls of the enlargements, as I thought maybe the point at which the addChild hit was what was causing the stutter. I was wrong, though, and now don't know what to do. It's def the image loading that causes this as I sub-d in 30k images into the "Stills" section and the problem goes away. Also the stuttering goes away once all images are loaded into memory.

I have done a character animation by loading multiple images one after another at runtime or dynamically by accessing files from there path directly. But the problem I am facing is, I am getting a white bg or delay when the images change, it kind of feels like the images are flickering. How can I get rid of this flicker.
