ActionScript 2.0 :: Open New Movie Clip From Existing One?

May 26, 2010

I'm trying to open a new window from a button in my main window and load a movie clip into it. I have not yet found a solution that works though. From the documentation I have found and tried:

Code:
loadMovie(filepath, this);

This works, but it replaces my existing one. I want a new window, so I tried to add:

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("chat_mc", 999);

This loads all the components from the movie clip ontop of my existing one, it gets it half way there sort of, lol. All in all this is what I have:

Code:
on (release) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("chat_mc", 999);
loadMovie("C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\Server.swf", chat_mc);
}

how I can get this to work? I would like two windows with two movies, the new one created on the press of a button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A Variable To Reference An Already Existing Movie Clip?

Jan 28, 2009

I have been struggling with what I suppose is a very simple issue: I am importing content into my application via a text file, this all works fine. I have about 10 different movie clips on the parent timeline that I have hidden (dc_mc.visible = false.So what I need to do is take one of the variable names that I've got from my text file and use its value to "turn on" one of these hidden movie clips.So I'm trying stuff like:

var directory = e.target.data.directory; // Grabs the data, sets var
var raceNameButton:String = directory+"_mc"; // Set data into new var
raceNamesButton.visible = true; // display movie clip with var name

Professional :: Flash CS5.5 Crashes When Open Any Movie Clip With A Text Field?

Oct 14, 2011

Flash crashes when I try to open any Movie Clip with a text field. This happens with both CS 5 and CS5.5. I am on a Mac Running 10.6.8. The files in question began as a CS4 about a year ago and have been converted to CS5 and CS55 since.
 
This problem happens sometime but not always, but it has definitely gotten worse with the latest Flash Pro update. (Flash Pro CS5.5 v. 11.5.1.349)This appears to be related to Mac only. I have reprouced on two other Macs, but have not been able to on a PC.  (all running CS 5 or CS 5.5)We have a Javascript that goes through the FLA and embeds the fonts in all text fields. (Because font embedding in CS5 or CS5.5 infamously does not work at all). Sometimes if you run this script before you try to open the MC it will apparently fix the problem and let you in, sometimes it will not.

IDE :: Flash - "pasteboard" Not Showing When Open New Movie Clip?

Dec 4, 2006

Whenever I open a new movieclip in Flash, the stage size is distorted (should be a 600 x 450). It should be a rectangle and be placed in the middle of the screen. Instead, when I open a new movie clip, the stage is placed all the way to the left of the screen and I only have pasteboard on the right hand side. Because of this, I can't see the entire stage

ActionScript 2.0 :: Buttons Within Movie Clip - Sub-menu Won't Stay Open In Order To Click On Buttons In It

Jul 25, 2007

I am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Image From Library In Existing Clip?

Nov 27, 2009

I have an existing MovieClip called mc1 on the Stage. That MovieClip has 2 keyframes, the first one has an image in it, and the second one is an empty keyframe.

After compiling, I want to load an image (image1) from the library into the the firstkeyframe, and replace the existing image.

I know I need to right click on the image in the library, export it, give it a class name, and I need to assign an url to it which would be 'image1' in this case.I was thinking of this, but I cannot get the url right, and I dont know how to refer to the firstkeyframe after I've loaded it..

var Imagecontainer:Loader = new Loader();
var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest('image1');
Imagecontainer.load(image);
mc1.addChild(Imagecontainer);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Put Movie Behind Existing Elements?

Here's the background and details: In Flash CS4, I have existing "Forward" and "Back" buttons on the stage, frame1 of the topmost layer Artwork, placed manually, nothing else on the stage.  I made a movie clip and it exists in the library but is not on the stage, it's called up via AS, which is in frame 1, actions layer (the layer below the artwork).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Movie - The Last Frame Of The Movie Code Execute And Second Movie File Open Up And Start

Dec 3, 2009

I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Existing Classes Of Movie Clips?

Oct 18, 2010

I've got 100 instances of a particular class of MovieClip on my stage, and I'm trying to find a way to get functions that affect them all. The obvious way to do this is through their common class, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to do it. Most of the tutorials I've found are about creating custom classes or creating new instances of classes. This isn't what I want to do, as I've already got all my instances on the stage already.

There are actually several things I want to use this for, but I'll just mention one for the sake of brevity.

I want to set the alpha of each MovieClip to 0 when I click on it. Here's the code I'm using for a single MovieClip at the moment:

ActionScript Code:
boxcover1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removecover1);
function removecover1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
boxcover1.alpha=0;
}

While this works perfectly, it means I'm going to have to repeat it 99 times, once for each MovieClip, and later on I need to do some more complicated stuff with it that 99 copies would make near-impossible to pull off. I'm hoping that by using the class ('box_cover') I'll be able to have this apply to every MovieClip on the stage.

If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

ActionScript 2.0 :: DropTest - Check And See If The Dragged Movie Clip Is Completely Within The Bounds Of Another Movie Clip

Jan 11, 2010

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.

I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

ActionScript 3.0 :: MCs Classes - Can't Send An Event From The Eagle Movie Clip Or The T2D Movie Clip To Tell The Other To Fade Out

Nov 5, 2010

There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.

I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clip On Main Timeline Receiving Input From Nested Movie Clip

Feb 23, 2011

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.
