ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Movies Into Nested Empty Mc?
Jul 25, 2007
[URL]
I understand the idea in which you can load movies into an empty mc holder. However, I would like to be able to load other movies using another empty mc within this empty mc, so for example, on certain pages the nav at the top would stay the same, but the content inside would change. At other times when the user clicks on a button, the whole page would change.
Here is the code which is attached to the buttons:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "section1";
container.loadMovie("section1.swf");

I am trying to create and delete empty movies that I can load external .swfs into. While the below works if I get rid of
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
I can't work out how to dynamically name the empty movies, as the below just comes up with errors. I'm pretty new to AS3 and stuck. Any ideas?
var myNum = 0;
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
function loadNew (myNum){

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 created a button in one movie. I nested a second movie that is the same size as the first movie. In the second movie I can successfully hide an object in the first movie with an object in the second movie. However, I can't prevent a button in the first movie from being shown in the second movie.

In this file are two movies, "display" and "nav slideshow" "nav slideshow" consists of a scrolling toolbar that displays 6 buttons at a time. Clicking on one of these buttons is then supposed to load a frame with the appropriate content in the "display" movie. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out the proper syntax until I came across the Kirupa tutorial on Tell Target & More Tell Target. So I finally got the buttons in "nav slideshow" to load the right content in "display". That was all well and good, but the gallery is designed to load as an external movie into the main website. When I tried this, the code no longer worked. The syntax for the actionscript I have now is:

Im making a game in which you controll some gattling AA guns..you start of with one and can later buy more...the gattling gun itself consist of 3 different movie clips and 1 text box (dynamic)WHen you buy more gattling guns later on , i just want to duplicate the original gattlinggun and let you place it anywere on the ground you want...
Firing is all good and dandy, each gun aims at mouse cursor and spews out bullets.. but for added realism ive made it so that each gun Can Jam (short delay befre can fire again)this does not work however because (as far as i can tell) what happens in 1 movie also happens in the others, so if 1 jams(the dynamic text box changes to JAM) all turrets get JAM in them(sticky i know)... now i want to know how do i make each movie completly separate , so they do not inherit properties from eachother...

I have a button that each time it's being press, it will load a mc that's located in the library.
The movie clip is text that's located in a mc, that i can fade in the text when the parent mc is called (meaning, text in a mc in a mc).
How can I do this actrion, where each time the button is pressed the mc will load? tried a few things such as loadmovie, attachmovie, but some how it doesn't work for me.
I gave my parent mc an instant and tried with the butoon calling it. didn't work.

I have a myMC and inside it I have an empty movieclip Loader1.I load a swf into the Loader1 with
Code:

The problem is that it takes some milliseconds for it to load into the empty movieclip and during this small seconds of time I see a white background.How do I manage to load the swf without any delay?

I've got a flash site where most of the content is loaded with external swf's. Instead of creating a holder, I create a "container" and load the movie onto it. Here's the code for that:
Code: Select all_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("swf/print_pfsads.swf", "container");
container._x = 200;
container._y = 150 ;
How do I make a preloader for this? Every tut I see you have to have a physical empty movie clip called "holder_mc" in order to preload. Is there a way, or should I just physically make a "holder"? It'll be a giant pain for me to redo all of this so I'd prefer to know if there's a way of preloading...

first step:
How do i position dynamically loaded images inside of an empty movieclip? The empty movie clip is named "cldImage" i tried to give the content loaded an instance name of content_mc and reposition it:
[Code]...
However that did not work...the image is still positioned to the bottom right of the center of the movclip cldImage.i know that movieclips have a default registration in the center - and image registrations are in the top left corner - what i am trying to achieve is to have the image load in the center of my stage in which the empty movieclip itself is placed.

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

I 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.

how to load external SWFs into an empty movieclip, and then having them unload when another is selected. At the moment, all I can do is load the swf onto the stage with no positioning, and clicking the other button just loads the next swf on top.
Actionscript Code:
stop();standard_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onLoadClick);function onLoadClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I would like to automatically load an external swf inside an existing empty mc (or a new one) and load/unload different external swf on several button click functions. I've been trying so many different methods until its probably loaded with irrelevant functions!
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("homepage.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.x=477;
myLoader.y=0;
/* Click to Load/Unload SWF or Image from a URL.
Clicking on the symbol instance loads and displays the specified SWF or image URL. Clicking on the symbol instance a second time unloads the SWF or image.
Instructions:
1. Replace "[URL]" below with the desired URL address of the SWF or image. Keep the quotation marks ("").
2. Files from internet domains separate from the domain where the calling SWF resides cannot be loaded without special configuration.
*/
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF);
var fl_Loader:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF(event:MouseEvent):void

I'm loading an external swf into an empty mc called "emptyMC" on my main timeline. That loaded swf loads another swf into an empty mc called "view2" when a button is pressed. Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("tabletennis.swf", "_root.emptyMC.view2");
}
The above code isn't working right. I'm not sure how to target each empty MC in sequence in order for this to work.

I have an object (with it's own timeline) and on the last frame of that timeline I have the following code:
Code:
stop();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainLoop_mc", 2000);
with (_root.mainLoop_mc){
[code]....
The problem is, when the "mainLoop.swf" file loads it obliterates my main UI SWF instead of attaching itself to a particular spot on the UI. So one SWF is replacing the other.

It is on tracing variables. I have a attached main.fla, movieclip.fla, and movieclip.swf.
If you run main.fla from within flash you'll notice the actionscript on the first frame of main.fla is loading movieclip.swf into an empty movie clip called container on the first frame of main.fla. No problem.
In movieclip.swf I assigned three values to three different variables, a, b and c, on the first frame of moviclip.swf(See movieclip.fla) like this:
a = 1;
b="string";
c 1.234556;
Also, in the first frame of main.fla, there was actionscript as follows:
container.loadMovie("movieclip.swf");
trace (_root.container.a);
trace (_root.container.b);
trace (_root.container.c);
Now each of the above traces produced undefined results when I ran main.fla from within flash. And yes I had complied moviclip.swf. Why did I get undefined results? What concept am I not grasping?
