This may be straight forward however I'm still new to AS and flash so am unsure of how to go about it. All I want is on the release of a button for an SWF to load into a separate static page rather than loading into a Container on the _root. How is this done with AS?
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to find recources on loading a .swf into a sepearte one.for instance:I will have an HTML layout with multiple flash movies. I know I can load movie into the .swf that the button is in.my question is. can I have the navigazion on the left side of the screen communicate with another random .swf to load the additional content?
View 1 RepliesThis is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
View 9 RepliesWhen i zoom into the page then move around the edge of the page can be moved past the edge of the browser window showing the static page which appears at the start of the document. Is it possible to use actionscript to stop the page being dragged past a certain point so the static page is not seen? On the example below the static page is white so it does not pose too much of a problem however im using the static page as a sort of instruction page and it looks a bit rubbish if the user drags a page past the edge of the view window and see's the original page. Example below. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a button that animates when you rollover and animates when you roll off. Let's say it is my home button. But I don't know how or what code to have so that my home button stays paused or stopped at the end of my rollover animation when the movie clip page associated with the button is currently displayed. And then if I click on another button like the 'About Us' button to make the 'about us' page load, to have my home button stop being highlighted when the home page is not displayed anymore.
So far this is my button code:
home_mc.onRollOver = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay ("_on");
} home_mc.onRollOut = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay ("_over");
}
I was trying to execute my thickbox on click of the button with id btnInfo. the code below works, ive seen it work in another flash file. i guess there is a deceleration on the top that i missed. Error: Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 41119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type fl.controls:Button.

Alright, I wanna know how toave a transition animation play when the user moves to another section in a Flash site.Would it be possible to make the entire timeline of a loaded movieclips play backwards to the 1st frame before it is unloaded and the next section is loaded in? or is there some more advanced AS involved in having an outro transition?

View 3 RepliesI am working on a flash piece that is composed of one master swf that has five options/sections within it. Each option loads two separate swfs that operate at the same time. Within those swfs are url links which open in the same window, replacing the page with the flash piece on it. Is it possible to link back from the opened url in a way that will go to the frame in the main swf's timeline that will reload the relevant swfs?
I had suggested just targeting a _blank window but the person I am attempting this for doesn't want that.
Basically I have this one level "stencil.swf" which is a page showing thumbnails.when you click on one of the thumbnails it does an onrelease / loadmovie that loads an above level of one the works ("stencil1.swf", "stencil2.swf" etc etc) pertaining to the thumbnail you clicked..What the problem is when you click a thumbnail some of those external swf's take a while to load and you can't tell anything is happening. I know I need to put a preloader on the main stencil level to show that it's loading something above, but I don't know where? is there a way to run a preloader when you onrelease?
looking around this site I've found you can do a levelXX.getbytes in the main level so that it will tell you something is loading above, but I don't know how this can work for me in my case because they load onrelease, where would I put these loaders for each thumbnail? I'm stuck, and I have 2 more pages with similar problems. because they are loading when you click a button...click here for files
files include
"stencil.fla" - which is the main level
"stencil1.swf" "stencil2.swf" "stencil3.swf" "stencil4.swf" etc - the swf's that load in

I am aware that I can share simple Objects using LocalConnection, but this does not (in my limited testing) appear to work with NetConnection or NetStream.
In short, I wish to have a single SWF that acts as a NetConnection proxy for other SWF files in the HTML page. The client SWFs require direct access to NetStream objects on the proxys NetConnection.
Is this at all feasible, or will each client SWF require its own NetConnection?
I am aware that I could build the entire application in flash and utilize a single NetConnection internally, but this is NOT what I want to do.

I have created a small image gallery for use in a CBT Program.What I am looking to do is, each image in the slide when clicked needs to go to a separate html page.I currently have it working as far as being able to execute a single External Call to go to a HTML Page, but it is working for the entire gallery not individual pictures.I am thinking of separating the way the MC are loading into the container, then tying External Calls Specific to the individual clips.
below is the current code.

I am trying to do something pretty basic I think...I have attached a screenshot below of what the site looks like so far. What I want to do is always have the left hand side links showing on the site. I want to create a new .fla for projects and have that load on the window on the right when the projects link is clicked on. What I have done in the past is create the entire website within one .fla but that is getting too confusing. I assume some actionscript is required here which I am pretty useless with.
View 21 RepliesI need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.
I 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.

there a more official name for a 'flash container' ? because very little results come up when i try and search for answers!can you load a container within a container, i'm thinking no but would like to clear that up also! for example i've followed this tutorial htm however when loaded up in a container nothing appears in the mouse over effect.. i've also tried loading jpegs into a swf via an xml which again works fine until i load it up within a container and nothing appears..

Ok this probably has to be the stupidest question ever asked here on kirupa but I�m going to ask it anyways. You see I have 4 containers (mc�s). and according to the user it loads a different swf into it so what I wished to know is how to put a loader for each .The following steps explain it better-

View 3 RepliesOK on my main timeline i have 2 buttons each one loading 2 seperate SWF's. When I load the first SWF it works perfect. Now when I load the other SWF. on the same level it replaces the 1st SWF. Now comes the problem, when i go to reload the first SWF the error accurs. "256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list. This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie."
I understand the concept of the error. I just can not fix it. Is it a matter of having everthing on one SWF. file. Or is there an unloadMovie script I can use.I found this script from Actionscript.org. Posted it there...but didn't get ther help i needed.

I have an invisible movie clip I want to go to the NEXT page, as it goes to that page, I want it to essentially remove itself (page1.swf). e.g. page1.swf (contains fancy.swf - [AS2], 4 images, several invisible MCs with code) has an invisible MC + on click = remove page1.swf.
To be clear, this does work. It goes to page2.swf and page2.swf goes to page1.swf as it should. The issue is that if the user repeatedly does this (just 2 or 3 times) the fancy.swf becomes impossible to control and Flash (CS5) crashes. I think this is due to the fact it's not unloading the entire thing, it's only unloading fancy.swf on click (I hope). So underneath page2.swf is page1.swf, and when the user clicks back to page1.swf, page2.swf AND page1.swf are underneath that, and so on and so forth.

I am currently wondering if it is possible to load a swf that is sitting on another file server. I.e. I currently have a custom play bar swf which is embedded on a website (behind the company's firewall) which then loads swf content (currently in the same folder on the website server). The problem I have is bandwidth between remote sites is limited and streaming the swf content from the website server is not an option, however we do have a DFS set up to push all the swf content out to local file servers.
I have tried using a file:// path which works if you create a windows projector file however it doesn't work when embedded onto a website as it seems to try to access via http which the file servers are not set up for. So is it possible to get the play bar swf to load the swf content sat on a remote file server?

I am loading a scrolling image bar into a separate movie and it works great with the coding I have managed to piece together (since I am not an AS master) the problem I am having is that when the mouse moves out of the scrollbar area it is still controlling the motion from the rest of the movie it is imported into. I am pretty sure that it revolves around a _root.drag._y script command but since I am still learning scripting I am not sure of exactly how to code this....the scrollbar is 90pixels in height and I want the images to keep scrolling at +2 when the mouse leaves the designated area, just not to move with the mouse movement when moving around below the scrollbar.
mc = _root.drag._x
if (mc>250and mc<360){
for (i=1; i<=nomc; i++) {
mx = getProperty("/a" add i, _x);
setProperty ("/a" add i, _x, mx+2);

For the above script, am trying to load a swf file to load into an main movie file. This is for a flash website am working on, and i wanted to know if the above .Since having all the pages (6 pages) in one flash file, it would take long time to load, so am planning to have each of the 6 pages in an separate swf file and load these into main swf file, on click of a button, Also there needs to be a loading bar for each page.
