View 4 RepliesI am having trouble with unload an loading movies. Basically I am loading a movie into a container, which works a charm:
[Code]....
I want to unload them both when a close button is pressed on the third loaded swf? Also, ideally I would like to add that second movie clip into a container, so I can position it correctly, but when I try copying the code I use on the first, it doesn't seem to work...is it to do with the "root" bit perhaps?
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.
I have a bit of an actionscripting dilema... I am trying load a movie ontop of another movie, so they are at different levels. This I can do ok, its just that when the new movie is launched and sits ontop of the old movie the buttons from the old are still active and interfere with the top movie. I know I could unload the old movie underneath, but my problem is that I want the user to be able to close the top movie to go back to the bottom movie at the place that they left it.!
View 5 Repliesi have a movie that has 3 buttons on it..(and there r 7 of these button containing movies being loaded into my main movie...but this is not important in our case i guess.) anyway, each button loads a movie (they r draggable windows) into my main movie, located in different levels (not targets)..the problem is i want to change the alpha and depths of these draggable movies.eg;when i click on a button i want that draggable movie to come forward and set its alpha to 100 and the other two to 30..i could do this by loading the windows in target locations..but i can't do it when i load them in levels..
View 3 RepliesI want to be able to have a movie in _level0. Then when user clicks on a button it will load another movie to _level5. But I want the lower movie to remain visible bit none of it's ruttons be active. I still notice the cursor turn to a finger when I move around areas that are buttons on layer below.
I have tried loading, then unloading lower level, but there is always a blank gap stutter. I have even tried spacing these load and unload commands apart, but no luck.
I have also turned the back graphic of the current layer in to one giant button, but I don't like the button cursor the whole time.
FMX- Levels_ Q? Is loadMovieNum the only command wich loads movies into levels?

View 2 Repliesok so i am using this script to preload movies into my master clip:

I believe that my question here is a little hard, or maybe impossible. But here it goes:
How can I, in Flash, get the levels of volume (peak levels) of multiple sound frequencys from an audio file, so that flash would recognize them?
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 have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
[Code]...
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?

I am creating a calendar and only one part isnt work. That part is the movie (mc_nav). I have the mc_nav movie on each month's stage. The buttons are named correctly since I used normal modes reference thingy to double check the references. I am trying to have it move to the next frame in the movie, or back, or to the 3rd frame etc. The first section (NAVIGATION BUTTON LINKS) works fine. It is just when I try to navigate on the Scene 1 stage, from a movie within a movie, that the trouble arises. Each of the month movies (mc_sep, mc_oct, etc) have mc_nav placed on them. Then the month movies are placed in Scene 1 on each of their respective frames (mc_sep = 4, mc_oct = 5, etc). When testing the movie and I am sent to any month page, the navigation (mc_nav) wont work. The syntax according to the flash debugger is correct. The action script goes all the way through to the last frame (13) and the stop(); command is set to stop the movie at frame 3 (the splash page).

I have a small FLA file i created myself. its just a simple mp3 player, pause and stop and a volume slider, thats it.I want to import three instances of this into a bigger movie and have them all available to run at the same time.I need them to be all on the screen at one time (same frames) and I need them each to be able to play a different mp3 The user will not be able to decide which mp3, this is all 'hard coded' into the fla file.So how can I do this and get access to each individual movie's controls?
For example when I use the slider on the first player, I only want the volume to change on the first mp3.Would I even have to worry about this in the big file that has all three movies in it?I mean could I just code the volume slider to work right in the mp3 player file and then the bigger movie file will automatically know that when the volume slider is moved, only to affect the voume of the first mp3?if i do it that way, would I have to save out 3 different versions of the mp3 player file. one with '1.mp3', say, hard coded into it, another with '2.mp3' hard coded into it, etc?
I'm planning navigation for my new site (see screen grab of proposed navigation corner). I want the words to swap levels and appear in front of others on roll over.
OK, just found this tutorial [URL] but I put the buttons into the MCs.
*BUT* - I want them to return to their original positions on RollOut - is this possible. I tried duplicating the code but substituting rollover to rollout and set the parameter to 0 or 1 or 2 to make them go back to a level I want them at.
On frame 30 of my root timeline, I have dragged five different instances from my library onto the stage. I gave each one a distinct name, oneBtn, twoBtn, threeBtn, fourBtn, fiveBtn. I added a MouseEvent for each of these five objects, and ran a Trace to make sure I am able to identify the objects. At first, I used e.target.name but it returned instanceXX (instance23, instance84, instance83...). I think this happened because within each of those buttons, I had a movie clip within it so I can apply filters to them. I decided to trace e.target.parent.name. On two of the five objects, I was able to trace oneBtn, and twoBtn. On the other three, I still got instanceXX. I tried tracing e.target.parent.parent.name and I was able to trace the other three buttons, threeBtn, fourBtn, fiveBtn.
how come I need to target two different levels (e.target.parent.name & e.target.parent.parent.name) on my objects when I dragged them from the library and placed them onto the stage within the same timeline?

View 1 RepliesI have a flash project with three non overlapping panels (visual spaces) each of which contains different movie-clips. Each movie-clip in a particular panel is the child of that panel.Now, I want to drag one of the movie-clips from one panel to another (remove it as a child from the first panel and add it to the other) without a jitter and proper drag.What is the appropriate way to handle the drag architecturally

View 9 Repliesbut is there anyway to fade the levels of a movieclip.
basically i keep loading jpgs, into a level of a movieclip. now i want to create a fade between one to the other. figure easiest way would be to have the jpgs load onto next level with alpha 0.. then once loaded alpha to 100 and unload the bottom jpg from previous level.
The problem I'm having is loading my info boxes. Basically, I want the the info boxes to stay on the middle of the main stage and also make the scroll mc non selectable (so that other mc's cannot be selected). I've been trying for ages to get this working but can't seem to make the buttons play the relative info box movie clips.Currently, the info box mc's are in the same movie clip as the mask & scroll mc. However, the buttons I want to activate the info box mc's are in the scroll mc. If I put the info boxes in the same mc as the buttons then it works fine but doesn't keep the info box moie clip in the middle of the stage as you can still scoll/select other itms in the mc.

I have a game that has different music files for different levels. It doesn't make sense to load the music for level 2 in frame one and I don't want to load the music for level 3 until level 2 has commenced. Is there anyway to control how the music is loaded? The music is in the library.
