I have movie-clips for each part of the characters. (hands, feet, torso, head, and so on). I want to be able to replace all those movie clips with new ones (as if the character sprite has changed) throughout the entire animation.

I have another small question regarding dynamic color in movieclips. Essentially, I am looking for a way to find a color within a movieclip (like #999999 in the below sample) and replace that color with something else (like #ffd223).
But, I want the stroke around the circle to remain untouched. So, the script would only find a certain fill, and color only that area.
I tinkered with the beginFill method but couldn't get it working.
I would like to stop all movieclips at once (and all nested movieclips of course) but I have no idea, how to do it. Do I need to stop each movieclip separately?
View 11 RepliesI have a very very simple flash animation put together, and I believe I set the document up in actionscript 3.0.
There is 4 layers currently: 1: a background, 2: a border, 3: a transparent png, 4: several images that run through a classic tween to make a scrolling effect.
Besides the tween, there is nothing else running and the tween is just taking some images in a straight line.
Is there an easy way to have it so that when someone puts their mouse over the flash in any location that it pauses on that frame and when they remove their mouse it will continue from that location?

My question is this: Is there a way to preload the entire animation so that I can avoid this issue (assuming I am understanding my issue correctly)? I know you can do a preloader, but my understanding is that those are for large images or movie clips. I don't have that. just one image that loads and stays up for the entire video.
I've created a movie clip and within that movie clip I've posted my animation, thus making an animation within one keyframe (this makes it easier to manage because instead of having to say "gotoAndPlay(70)" I can put "gotoAndPlay(1)" for the standing animation, "gotoAndPlay(2)" for the moving animation, etc.) But I don't know how to refer to the certain frames within that one keyframe via AS3.

I made two movieclips with things happening every 20 frames up to 100 frames. I wish to turn this into a percentage logic so that the actionscript makes my MC moves to the next 20 frames every 20%. See what I mean?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create some flash banner (looping animation). I have 1 stage timeline (100 frames) and several movieclips. I need to play 1 movieclip from frame 1 to frame 50. How can I do this?
It plays again and again. If I add AS stop(); in the frame 50 of this mc (inside mc timeline), then this mc plays just once. When all movie is looping from the frame 1, this mc does not play.
I'm just a beginner to actionscripting. I have 3 movie clips in an animation. All I want to do is, I want to start running the first one, upon completion, the second one should start while the first running again. Any approach and the options available in AS2.0?

I'm making a application where the projector is played fullscreen, and the stage itself is not scalable. But I'd like to make an animation where movieclips come sliding onto the stage (starting outside the stage). But because everything is fullscreen, you can see these MC's outside of the stage, this is not what I want.
So, is there a way to be able to hide everything that is outside of the stage?
I have an intro animation inside of a MC on frame 1 of my timeline, when it's finished playing the 100 frame animation I want it to jump to frame two of my main timeline.I've tried root and parent scripts at the last frame of the animation but it's not working. Do I need to add root to the package?Even gotoAndPlay isn't working

View 6 RepliesI am trying to implement a "card shuffle" animation using MovieClip instances on the stage. The instances are linked to the same class. From the class I am able to look at the numChildren of the parent:
trace(this.parent.numChildren);
Let's say I have three cards on the stage with these instance names: "orange_mc", "green_mc" and "blue_mc". They are all linked to a custom class I created. On a MouseEvent I would like to bring the selected card to the top depth. I know that this would do the trick:
this.parent.addChild(this);
I would like to animate the effect and it seems that to be able to do this I would need to know the depths of all the MovieClips on the stage (or at least to determine if the selected is at the top - for this, no animation would be required). I tried the following, only to get an error:
this.parent.getChildIndex(orange_mc);
and
MovieClip(this.parent).getChildIndex(orange_mc);
I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation.

View 1 RepliesI have a main shell swf file that has two buttons on it that should each launch/load their respective swf files (tool1, tool2). These should essentially replace the main swf file. Also, I have a button on tool1 & 2 that should bring you back to the main menu. All these files are then compiled into an exe. Seems easy enough, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.
So far I have:

tool1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoTool1);
function gotoTool1 (e:MouseEvent):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("tool1.swf"));

View 4 RepliesI'm working on a project for the new year gathering at our work. I made an application in which you can type a wish for the company and when you send it your message will be displayed in an dynamic text field and in the background fireworks are launched. These fireworks are external swf files, made in adobe after effects. They are launched when clicking a button. They are played at random. However, after playing 2 or 3 they start slowing down, probably because they stack on each other. I need the new swf to replace the old swf, now my application keeps loading new swf on top of each other.
View 1 Repliesautomatically replacing a flash file with a jpeg, for non flash users.
I also am looking for some scrpt which tells users if they haven't got a/the correct flash plug in. My site uses a flash 5 file as well as flash mx 2004.
I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
