I am using MovieClipLoader(); to load a SWF on to the stage like this.
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("swf/button1.swf","mcButton");
Now I want to make the loaded SWF clickable so I have added the following code:
mcButton.onRelease = function() {
trace("Hello World");
};
I thought that would work but it doesn't.
I was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?
trying to bring in a list of people from an XMLdocument when a button is pressed, and once that list is broughtin, I want to make each name clickable so that a reader can findout more information about that person (the text of which wouldalso be from an XML document). The first part seems fairlystraightforward (see coding below; Im not sure if this isthe best way to do it, but it seems to work). Im stumped,though, about how to do the second part (make the names clickable).

I have an animated flash banner for the website, but I cannot make it clickable, so that visitors can click on any part of it, and be tranfered to another website page.

View 9 RepliesI have clips that I create using createEmptyMovieClip, and I would like to make them clickable. For my specific needs, I found dropping an empty clip from the library doesn't accomplish my goals.note that I will be creating multiple clips, which will need their own function when clicking, mouse over and mouse out.
Here is the code that I use to to create the clip.

View 1 RepliesIn AS2 I could just do onRelease() inside the class, and all the movies would be clickable, if the class extended a MC.

I have a swf embedded into a site, and I want the swf to be clickable so when you click on it it goes to another page. I tried wrapping the whole flash object in tags, and that makes it clickable but the biggest problem I'm having is when you roll over it with the mouse the pointer icon doesn't come up, it just looks like the regular arrow. I tried playing with the css and doing cursor:pointer, but it still doesn't work. I can edit the .fla file and add some actionscript 2.0 to it, but I'm not sure what to add or where. I'd rather do it through html or css, but if I have to do it in flash that's ok too. Also, I have an invisible button over the whole thing called, MYbtn

I loaded a swf and placed it in a movieclip on the stage. When I try to make this image clickable nothing happens.
Here's my code:
Code:
var sprite = cHolder.addChild(ldr)
sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, displayCat);
If I attach a listener to the movieClip on the stage it works fine but I can't seem to get the image inside of the clip to work.
I've created an empty movieclip (imgHolder) dynamically on my stage and through XML I've loaded a picture into this movieclip which works fine. However, if I click on the picture, nothing happens.
This is what I scripted so far...
Code:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = function(loaded) {

i have built a .flv video player and its working just fine but when it loads videos they start off stopped with a play button overlay so it has to be user initiated to start. Only problem is when they are paused at the beginning of the stream they are invisible. I have tried several things to make the video appear at the beginning but nothing works.
i have tried explicitally setting the visible and alpha props. they dont do anythign (the vid is already visible and alpha = 1 according to traces) i have tried seek(0.1) to seek ahead a bit - this doesn't work at all. tried playing and pausing the stream but that no workey either.
I am trying to make a gallery where I have index.swf call it (1) (main page) that loads gallery.swf call it (2) (by using a movie clip 'loader'). The gallery is width 2000 and scrolls when the mouse moves. When I click on one of the gallery photos, I want it to open up large but not scroll like the rest of the gallery. It is easiest to achieve if (2) asks (1) to open it in another 'loader'.Does such a function call (or something like that) exist?
Also - are these words used correctly: "(2) is the child while (1) is the parent" (or are those two words used only for objects inside the script?

I have my main menu movieclip placed on the main stages and I use it to load some external swfs. However when I load them, the menu disappears because it is covered by the loaded swf. How can I set the depth of my top menu so that will always be visible when the external swfs are loaded? Should the depth be set on the main time line or inside the main manu movie clip? This is the code in my main menu that I am using to load the swfs but my main menu is a movie clip placed on the main timeline...

For my FLVPlayBack player, I want a "% loaded" message before the video begins, which counts upwards.This wouldn't be a problem if this was just the usual bytesTotal/bytesLoaded calculation, but this is a progressive video that plays with playWhenEnoughDownloaded(). In other words, I'm not counting up to when the entire video has loaded, but to when the video is going to start, based on playWhenEnoughDownloaded().
