Is it possible to load libary items from one swf into another?I am trying to load a set of tiles stored in one swf into a tile editor.In the code for the tile editor it adds objects from the libary onto the stage. Is it possible to get the movieclips from another swf?

View 3 RepliesSo I'm making a flash proggy that displays member details for a guild dynamicaly (calling their bio info from a database) and was wondering if it's possible to also call an image dynamicaly as well?I know I could setup a PHP function to display a set image for each member, but that obviously means manualy placing in images and having to update the entire program each time I want to change a picture and thats obviously no good .. so is it possible for actionscript to call in images stored OUTSIDE of the flash program?

Real newbie to AS3 here (currently I am a C++ programmer looking into writing Adobe Air apps....my wife has some ideas for apps lol). My dumb question: Where do I find a reference libary for *.AS projects? I looked at the below website from adobe, but all the examples are in MXML syntax. Being new to AS3 I'm not quite following the whole MXML vs .AS. [URL]

Basicly I'm adding dynamicaly sprites and textfields, which i populate from xml, in for loop. I'm building sort of table, so for every sprite, I'm adding new data in textfields.I've loaded xml and passed data to 2 xmllists, both traced and doing fine... Later on I add data from xmllist to array which then I'm looping in for loop.Problem is that from 1st xmllist, 6 out of 7 textfields are visible, 1 can't be found nowhere :/ from the 2nd xmllist only 1 out of 4 are visible...I've tried everything, tracing them returns that they are visible, on good position, filled with text, contrasted color from background.

I'm making a map creator for a tabletop game. The idea is that the map creator would consist of a 48x48 grid and would allow people to drag items onto that grid and save the positional layout of objects like trees and buildings.So I'm working on the very first steps of this and have written the script so far to dynamicaly generate a 48x48 grid and created a test object to be dragged called "follow".
The dynamicaly generated MC draws from the "grid" MC from the library which consists of two layers; the outline of a box and an MC named "grid_bg" which contains a coloured square (set to the same size as the outline). This is all placed into the "container" MC which by default is empty.This part I get working fine.the "follow" mc is set so that it can be dragged on a mouse click.Now the idea is that if a hitTest is run to see if "follow" is in contact with any of the "grid_bg" MC's and if so, run code (i.e. hide or show the grid_bg mc).
This is where I am encountering problems. If I set the hitTest into a layer within the "grid" MC, it only runs the hit test when the movie is first loaded and ignores you dragging and dropping the "follow" mc. If the hitTest is placed into the actions of the "grid_bg" MC and used in conjuction with an IF statement, it seems to act like there is a collision on every box generated.Code to generate the grid:
Code:
//make textboxes
count=2304;

is it possible to dynamically create variables in actionscript?for example lets say i have some kind of loop and for each itteration of loop i want new variable to be created, or acssed if creatin is not possible. ( tbh i don't need to create them dynamically there is more simple sollution of my problem in real project, am just wandering is it possible )[code]the best i could thought for acessing is filling them in array and acessing it like that.... code works but i am actually trying to make it work without array.[code]

View 1 RepliesMy AS3 project is devided in to 4 sections.
1.) load XML file directed from php site and store all data to miltidimensional array
2.) load mc from library to stage and scroll it with mouse move
3.) load pictures into previous scrolling mc on calculated coordinates
4.) add event listener to every loaded pic to open new site
here is part of code that's bugging me:
Code:
var polica_mc:libMc = new libMc;
var container_mc:MovieClip;
if (xmlLoaded == true) {

Problem is that pictures are not loaded into polica_mc (scrolling mc) but outside.
I've read that when loading swf's it's a good idea to load them into a MovieClip. Is that true, why and would a Sprite do as well. Also how is it done?I thought this would do.
var currentPage:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var loadRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("home.swf"); var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.load(loadRequest); currentPage.addChild(swfLoader);

i used this code with linkage to load a movieclip from library using flash action script 3
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,goLayersS ite);
function goLayersSite(Event)
{
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new Tree();
empty.addChild(myMovieClip);

i want to know how am i able to load a flash movie clip from my current library into my stage with using a button via flash action script 2.
since im using other codes in action script 2 i can not cancel them and i really need to load a movie clip in my AS2 FLA.
I'll do my best to keep this question as short as possible:
I've made 5 'fruit' movieclips and they're in my library.
And using so.addVariable("getNumber", "003"); in my HTML code, I'd like those particular fruit movieclips to play one after the other (and then loop).
I've had a look around for something similar, without luck, so I'm trying to make it from scratch. I got as far as getting it to load the first number and then the first type and url, but I'm stuck on getting to go onto the next type, also being able to define (with addVariable) which number's nodes gets played.
Here's an example of my XML to show the structure.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I'm making a game where I have a lot of movie clips that I need to load so I was wondering wheather ActionScript 3.0 allowed us to load external movieclips? Can we import an external display object (movieclip) into a display object container? Or do I have to load a .swf which contains the movieclip onto the stage? What happens if I need to pull in multiple .swf files can the movieclips overlap or will one .swf file block the user from viewing the .swf in a lower depth? Can I import the movieclip from the external .swf file from its library and add it to the main stage rather then adding the whole .swf to the main stage?
View 11 RepliesBasically I have this movieclip on stage that is suppose to load another movieclip from an swf. in that swf are 31 copies of the movieclip since theres no duplicateMovieclip function in as3. I am able to load and add child to the movieclips easy with this,
PHP Code:
function duplicateMovieclips():void{
for (var i=0; i<movieclipsToLoad; i++){
movieclipsDuplicated++;
entrys_mc.addChild(mcV[i]);
Below (which I excluded) are other various bits of code to edit the movieclip and what not. I can also remove it just fine with this bit of code here
PHP Code:
function removeF():void{
var repeat:int = 0;
for (var i=0; i<timesToRemove;i++){
entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);
repeat++;
movieclipsToLoad--;
if(i == timesToRemove-1){
loadSelected(); //THE PROBLEM
}}}
What this swf is trying to do is record the year and the month the user clicks on and then return every day's data from the xml if a day is filled out. when removeF(); executes, i get the error:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
Pointing at entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);...but when its NOT there, loadSelected(); that is, it works just fine. I even put a trace statement in it. The whole if condition works fine to.
LoadSelected is the one that retrieves the text needed to load in the movieclip. whatever year and month the user selects, it loads the information of it and puts it in a string. then it displays in the dynamic text field inside the movieclip. Also, when SWF loaded it loads all 31 movieclips using this.
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < 31; i++){
var groupMC:MovieClip=MovieClip(clip.getChildByName("group" + i));
mcV.push(groupMC);
trace("repeat # = " + i);
}
Loading in Movieclips instead of images
View 6 RepliesI start off my game with an empty movieclip located in the middle of the stage. I then load a movieclip using the loadMovie method. At some point I would like to unload the movieclip and then reload another one, sort of a different scene if you will. The new movieclip has a number of other nested movieclips that I will use as buttons and I have coded a function that is called that creates these buttons. Here's what it would look like:[code]The roomSetUp function contains info on how the room should look and the button codes. The problem is that the setup function runs before the new movieclip is loaded. Seems that there is no way to have Flash 'Yield' until the movieclip is loaded and then go to the last function. Any suggestions other than MovieClipLoader?
View 2 RepliesI have several Movie Clips in the Library which I need to be able to load and bring up on the screen randomly.The code below shows how I can load one of these, but to get a proper control ideally I would like to load them all in to an array or numbered variables so that they can be called from a simple piece of code and actioned one at a time.
My movieclips can all be called something simple like mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4 etc to make things easier.These need to be referenced in to an array mcContainer[.....] or as mcContainer1, mcContainer2........ so that they can be called easily.I just need to know the simplest way to do this and how i reference them, I have tried several ways like ["mc"+i] etc and nothing seems to work.
Code:
var mc:mcLogo=new mcLogo();
addChild(mc);
I have several buttons that on mouse over will load a library movie clip. I want that movieclip to load on top of everything then once it's played allow me to either replay that movieclip by hovering over the button again or play a different movieclip by hovering over another button etc etc. with the ability to repeat this.
My code below currently loads my movieclip on top in hte corerct place however wont allow me to hover over another button and only plays once: var my_packages_mc:MovieClip = new packages_mc();var my_treatments_mc:MovieClip = new treatments_mc();

View 4 RepliesI'm loading an external SWF file, which become a MovieClip, using Loader(). That part is working fine. I then need to scale the MovieClip to match the stage, so that when I set the width and height of the movie doing the loading in SWFobject, the MovieClip will scale too.
For example, the SWF being loaded may be 320x240, but we decide later that we want it to be 640x480 on the page. We can just change the width and height in the javascript call to SWFobject, and it should scale everything. To top it off, I'll need an AS2 version too because we might need to load AS2 SWFs.

i am trying to load movieclips from the library using an array. I have manage to load a single movieclip using
var myArray:Array=[];
myArray[1]=imagex1;
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[1];

but now I've tried using a loop by doing
var myArray:Array=[];
for(var i:uint = 0; i < 8; i++){
myArray[i]="imagex"+i;
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[i];
addChild(mc);
}
and i get the error:

I am working with a site that's similar to : [URL]. When you click on Wedding Site and then go to the gallery, you will see the pics loading full screen and the navigation bar on top of the pics. What I have done is I have made each one of this pics a separate .swf file so
they load individually once they are called using the " loadMovie("pic1.swf") code line. On layer 10 (being at the very top) I have my menu so it will always display on top
of anything else. Now on layer 3, frame x I have a movieclip called : fotos_mc,
inside this fotos_mc on layer 1, frame 1 I call the swf using the code above:
"loadMovie(pic1,swf");
However when the picture loads, it covers the full screen on top of my navigation menu, on top of my logo etc. Which I dont understand why if the layer where I have placed my fotos_mc is under layer 10 which contains my menu and my logo.
