I have a main page. There I have a button that has a loadMovie script. It works perfectly. When you press it, a movie (1) plays in the empty MC i placed in the main timeline. So far so good...Now the problem is that inside the movie that is loaded, i have a button that wants to load (with the loadMovie action) another movie (2) inside the loaded movie (1).

I 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 loading some thumbnails from an xml file into a movieclip using attachMovie() - each thumbnail loaded is in it's own MC inside the 'container' MC. everything works great but i need to be able to scroll the thumbnails b/c the number of thumbnails can change but the space they have to fit into cannot. make sense? if attach them to a scrollpane or a textarea instead of a MC it only shows the last thumnail loaded or iterated in the for loop.
Code:
articleNos = seasArts.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length;
var item_spacing = 55;
var item_count = 0;

View 3 RepliesSince I've never done this and the google results are quite random, I ask here: Is it possible to display Flash movies inside a Flex application and interact with them?
The scenario is as follows:
I'm developing a new application in flex Another, already completed application is given to me as SWF (or perhaps SWC, don't know any details yet) I have to insert this second application inside in my Flex application, which should be no problem afair I have to interact with this application: send and retrieve data. Don't know any further details here, too.
Will this be possible? Or is Flex only capable of displaying the SWF without the possibility to interact with it? I hope you can understand, what I want (have to...) do.
I have a movie in the main timeline that has 3 movies inside with 3 buttons to play them.I Want to force the user to click in the 3 movies before they jump to a diferent frame in the main timeline.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone knows how something similar can be done: [URL] surface I mean the video clips, which zoom when you mouse over them, then when you click they will go forward, blurring the background. Then on close, everything will go back t the home screen. And all the time the movies inside will play.
View 2 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;
[code]....
why this code dosent work at the same time in the timeline, and why only envent put inside the attacHMovies or duplicated Movies work, if i put them in the forr loops they dont work.

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.
I am trying to make a simple game where there are five balls that bounce around the screen and speed up at set intervals. You have to dodge them for as long as possible. Right now I have the game set up so that you dodge for 15 seconds and you win - but I can't delete the balls that are bouncing around, and I don't know how to put in a reset button. I have also tried increasing the variable this.speed inside my interval statements but it doesn't work.

how can i load 2 .swf movies simultaneously through one load movie action button ?
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.!

I'm trying to work out the best way to do this using addChild and removeChild, but not having much luck.
