ActionScript 2.0 :: {MX} Positioning A Loaded External Movie
May 30, 2003
I have a flash movie that has an internal movie clip, when the various buttons are pressed I want to load a movie in place of this original so I have put this script one of the buttons:
[Code]...
However, the new movie is not positioned in the correct place ie - instead of it being in the same position as the original MC the top left corner is positioned in the middle of the stage.
my problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
i want to make an presentation,, for which.. at frame i click a button on frame 9 it goes to frame 10 and plays.. like my script on frame 10 is below
[Code]....
and when i click another button to go frame 1 from the same page at 10,, placed beside the loading external swf ,, it goes,, but the loaded external swf file is not going ,, or the external file not cleaning,, not removing.
How can I take a loded image and with actionscript position it at say 45 degrees (3d, not 2d) so that it looks like I'm looking from one side. It would have a 3d look.
So, basically, I've loaded an .swf into an empty movie clip in my movie and positioned it with this code:
[Code]...
When I hit cntrl + enter, everything lines up looks good and works fine. When I do a publish preview in HTML however, the mc is dragged all the way to the bottom of my screen and mostly hidden beneath my footer.
basically, I've loaded an .swf into an empty movie clip (myContainer_mc) which is itself located in another mc called loop_mc on the main stage and positioned it with this code:
Code: var lp:Object = new Object(); lp.onResize = function() { loop_mc._y = Stage.height-275;
[code]....
When I test the website in flash (ctrl+enter) everything looks perfect and works right, however when I view the website in a browser the movie is dragged all the way to the bottom of my page and mostly hidden beneath the footer.
-would it be possible to set the _x and _y of image.jpg relative to myMC?You see moving myMC and then loading the picture into it will not me because myMC is to be scaled and manipulated, so its axis must be in the center of the loaded image.
This is a webpage, where I use a modified gallery from tutorial (xml galllery with thumbs).This place is where I align picture movieclip in the center of area (which is also a mask).Sometimes, action clip doesn't get image _width and _height and load a picture with it's left upper corner in the center of mask movieclip. When I click again on thumbnail - image loads already perfectly how it should be centered. What can be the problem? maybe I missed something?Here is a modified code of the gallery:
I'm working with a script that loads from an XML some jpgs, these ones once loaded move to their positions.
[Code]....
the problem is that i would like put all these movies well aligned in rows and columns, i've seen it's possible to do this with a nested for.. loop, something like this
I've loaded a movie into a movie.the loaded movie is loading dynamicly some pics and text. when a movie is loaded, does everey movie got it's own _root?
I am working on a portfolio website and I have all my navigation with buttons linking to other pages, on the base level. All the buttons are scattered around the stage and when one of these buttons is clicked an external movie is loaded in the centre of the page.
The movie is a big white box with a slideshow of images from my portfolio in the centre of the stage.
My problem is that the buttons on the base level are easily clicked by accident, even though you cant see them with the white box.[code]...
i have a movieclip on timeline, and then i addchild ( a container ) to load an external swf movie on it. Then i want to have a button so i can pause the loaded swf movie.
And my problem is, i can access to it, i can change the properties like the alpha, but i can just stop or pause it.
i've been search and testing many script, but i still can make it work it just a simple task right? i can do it quickly with AS2

i am loading 3 flv files so that the first file plays once and the other two loop afterwards. Now i am interested is it possible to position the flv files on the stage to certain coordinates when they start to play (so for example that the first flv plays as default in the centre, the second flv file plays a little bit right and the third plays a little bit left). This is the code i'm using:
I have made a flash player that loads in two external flash movies this is all now workign fine with a little extra help, however the problem i have now is that when the movies load in they both show in different places, for example the external movie called new_products loads perfectly in places, for example one of the movies loads into place where i want it to but the second loads in to position starting at the top left.When i add x, y for the loader it affects them both, but they still originate from differnt start positions.[code] URL...
I have a combobox component, when I selecet one lable its loads an external swf file, the movie loads fine after loading movie combobox menu went behind the loaded movie.[code]
after loading an external movie clip called "mv_frame" into the main flash file , i need to access a movie clip inside the loaded movie called "hit" in as2 we do that using the point (.) to navigate into movie levels , but my question is how to do that in AS3?
On some sites i have seen usually portfolio or gallery type sites there are thumbnails, text or some shape that you click on to view a particular image. What I'm getting at is some of the sties show visually that the clip has been loaded with change of alpha (images that are not loaded greyed out and ones that have already been loaded are in colour etc..). An example of what i'm talking about is on [URL] When you click on the menu (selection uno), it loads a particular clip, and throughout the session on the site, u can tell which ones have been loaded and have not. I know there are probably many down and dirty ways of achieving this, but i know there is usually 1 or 2 'proper' methods for doing a particular thing.
How can I find the width of an external jpg BEFORE it's been loaded into my movie? I can easily find the width of it AFTER loading by loading it into an empty movie clip and returning the width of this AFTER the jpg has loaded using the _width command. But what I want is to find the width BEFORE loading.I have tried "trace(1.jpg._width);" but this returns undefined, obviously as 1.jpg is not an object from my library, it's an external file. Any other ideas anyone?!
Is there a way i can tell if cerain amount of frames have been loaded? what i have is actionscripted movement. i have these 2 blocks that cover the area where th emovie should be loaded. i tried
_root.container.loadMovie(section + ".swf"); _root.container.ifFrameLoaded (22)<<<<<<<i think this may be wrong _root.b1.easeY(560,4,false); _root.b2.easeY(560,4,false);
cuz i wanna knwo once certian frames on the external movie are loaded, to move the blocks back to a spot you cant seem them

Click on one of the menu options - "corporatecommunications" or "events&entertainment"
I fixed the earlier progressBar problem, but when you click on an image thumbnail to load it, it pops up regular size for maybe 1/30th of a second before being scaled to the proper size.
Here's my code:
Code:
// set a variable to hold image name var imageNow:String; // scale empty movie clip that will hold the image function iHoldSize() {
I have a movie clip in which I loaded an external JPG to. Well, this movie clip works as a thumbnail and, as I click in it, I want the thumb's image to be loaded ("again") in another movie clip. duplicateMovieCLip does not seem to work.I don't want to load the image twice (as it strikes me as bandwidth waste..). Does this make sense? Or must I be load the image twice? (of course..I could use smaller images for thumbnails..)
I'm creating an image gallery and looking for a simple way to preload external jpegs (with % loaded) into an empty movie clip.I'm using thumbnails- there are no "next" or previous "buttons".[code]I've been googling/ searching all day.
I want to load an external swf and dynamically attach the mc's in the loaded swf to the main movie. Is it possible to reference the linkage properties of the externally loaded swf in this way?
