ActionScript 2.0 :: Sing Linkage Names To Call Upon Sounds From Another SWF
Sep 29, 2002
I have two swf's. One main movie and one sound movie. The sound movie exports the sounds,
providing linkage which I want to use in an actionscript in the main movie. How do I call upon the sounds from the second movie? The reason why I have two files is that Flash doesn't allow me to choose in which frame the sounds will be exported, it's the first frame or who-knows-when. Would it be a good solution to load the sound swf into the main movie, placing it during the preload of this, and export the sounds with linkage names from this and (later) call upon them from the main movie? Is it possible at all? If it is, how do I do it?

here is a more detailed version of my previous post. I have multiple buttons with random sounds being played on release through linkage of those sounds. Some buttons have 3 sounds, some have 2, which are played randomly. I know there are scripts for volume of each individual sounds, but that won't help here, I have many sounds that need to be controlled by volume buttons. I had 2 ideas: either tell me I can do them or tell me I'm stupid.
Give each sound the same instance name, and have a script increase the volume of that instance, therefore inceasing the volume of all the sounds -OR- Have the code that changes the volume of each sound, and have it do just that: increase the volume of each sound. In other words, have that script for each individual sound, over and over again for each sound (lots of scripting).

Flex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

i know flash has problems with preloading files that use linkage... i know it has something to do with 'export in first frame'. because when you have that checked you can preload it because its on the same frame as the preloader... but if i dont have it checked it isnt exported and when i click a button i cant hear anything... how to work around this? how must i preload / link my embedded sound files?

If you try to add an object out of an linkagename in Flex you get errors. Like:1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name].If I don't want to create classes for every library symbol I'd like to add, is there any other way/praxis of doing this besides using 'getDefinitionByName', so that I won't get errors in Flex?

I have a flash movie with a lot of linked movieclips in my library (mc's with linkage names). I have a preloader in the beginning of the flash movie. However, the preloader doesn't show until (I guess) all those linked movieclips are downloaded first. Then the preloader starts showing, starting at something like 40% . How can I include the linked movieclips in my preloading, such that the preloader shows straight away, from 0% ?

I have a movieclip in the library, Linkage Identifier = "myMC_linkage"
myMC contains a function called myFunction();
A scrollPane is on stage and is assigned contentPath = "myMC_linkage"
A simple button is placed on stage called "myButton"
Is it possible to use this button on stage to call myFunction()?

I'm trying to create a linkage to swap movie clip dynamically. I already create a linkage and after my movie clip symbol actuall say Export: contact_idea. But when I try to attachMovie("contact_idea"). It does nothing. Is there anyway that I can test that the linkage is actuall linked?

I'm looking to get some information on something I've been wondering about for a while now. Is it possible to call a dynamic movieclip? Here's an example: I have 30 movieclips all named sequentially: A001, A002, A003, etc. I want to make a listener to dynamically know if I've clicked any one of the 30, but also know which of the 30 I've clicked.
You know, to avoid writing 30 variations of a listener. (not to mention that I have 5 categories to do this for, meaning there are 150 in total) Perhaps what I would need out of it would be the number value, as well. To perhaps place that in a variable after it has been recognized, so I can use it in the function.

I have an Arrays that contains the names of MovieClips:
Code:
var MyMCs:Array = ["A","B","C","D","E"];
The actual MovieClips names are "MC_A", "MC_B", etc..., I use this method so I reuse the same Array for multiple tasks, I simply add what ever it's needed to the name to match the task at hand. On this case I add "MC_".
Then I have multiple Arrays, with the same names of the values of MyMCs. The values of each these Arrays are the names of buttons that are inside the movieclips of MyMCs:
Code:
var A:Array = ["RR","TT"];
var B:Array = ["YY","UU"];
etc...
I could add a listener to a button this way:
Code:
MC_A.YY.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, DoSomething)
My problem is that i want it to be done dynamically, using the Arrays values in a loop to add Listeners to the all buttons. The loop system is not a problem for me... my real problem is in the dynamic attribution itself.
Here is what I have:
Code:
//'i' and 'j' have previously been created
for(i=0; i<MyMCs.length; i++){
for(j=0; j<this[MyMCs[i]].length; j++){
[Code]....
I know that this is correct since I tried them separately and I can trace the proper values.
I know that my problem is in the "this" since I get an error message stating:
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
I suppose it should state something else... I tryed with "root", "parent", "child", "MovieClip"... with no luck...

I'm currently using two arrays to load a sequence of videos in 2 zones of the Flash movie.
var zoneAarray:Array = new Array("movie1.mp4", "movie2.mp4", "movie3.mp4");
var zoneBarray:Array = new Array("movie4.mp4", "movie5.mp4", "movie6.mp4");
var clipA:String = zoneAarray[0];[code]....
Everything works fine, but I would like to import the list of videos from an XML file instead of hard-coding it in Flash

I followed the mp3player tutorial (part 3) from [URL] and got it working fine. Only problem is that the setVolume I'm trying to use with my music is affecting all my other sounds - button sounds and background sound. I'm aware of the createEmptyMovieClip/attachSound approach and got it working on my other sounds. But Lee's tutorial-mp3player is using a slight different technique, and so my normal approach doesn't quite work.

I want to synchronize sounds perfectly to do a kind of Audio Mixer, using different sounds. [URL] does it perfectly, I've been researching and researching and I just don't know how to do it! How does [URL] synchonize audio so perfectly? you can even change sounds and the new ones will come on time! How do I do that? Is it just Action Script? or something else?

I have a film with 4 scenes in it: Here's a link to the film and as you can see the film does not play the music the second time because of the StopAllSounds function which is probably the wrong code to use. The first scene is just a button with 1 frame, a stop action and a music clip. The second scene is the film. The third scene is the credits fourth scene is a Play again button. I have a Stop all Sounds action on the fourth scene because if I do not use it and I press the Play Again button, the music from the first song keeps playing but also the music from the film starts up again so it starts to play twice. What I want to know is, how do I get the music to stop at the end of the film but start up again once I hit Play Again?
I am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I have created (or took an already created and modified) an xml drop down menu. I would like my buttons to link with-in my flash file, but I do not believe you can link within flash using xml, but is there something in your actionscript that you could have the buttons link within the flash file. Here is my AS that is on the first frame:

Because flash doesn't loop external mps file correctly, there is always a pause in the loop. The work around is to load the AIFF, or WAV, file into the .fla and let Flash compress the audio file, then the loop works without the pause. The problem with this is that when I have many music loops it takes a long time to publish and test, so in AS 2 I would publish .swfs that compressed the raw audio file and gave the audio file a linkage. Then I would load the .swf into the main .swf and access the loaded .swfs linkage file.

currently this is the problem i'm having.i'm exporting a symbol - song1 - from my library to AS ("export for actionscript") and then using it to dynamically create some movieclips (hereafter referred to as MC's) on the stage. each MC contains a text field that is filled by an value in an array....
Code:
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
songList_XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var songNodes:XMLList = songList_XML.song.title
var songTime:XMLList = songList_XML.song.time
[code]....
Now all this works without a hitch - all the trace statements produce what they are supposed to and the MC's appear on the stage where they are supposed to and with the proper text (song name song time).
BUT - here's what i don't understand - *how do i REFER to the INSTANCES of each clip*?because they are created dynamically they don't have instance names and there is no way to assign them instance names via AS (right?).i tried to use the Display List to access them by assigning each one a name (last line - commented out) and then using the getChildByName() method - for ex. getChildByName("nameSong1"). but that didn't work either... i have a few other ideas but they all seem ridiculously complicated - i believe there's GOT to be a *simple* solution for this but i've checked all the references i have (O'Reilly, AS Bible, and others) and found almost nothing. just the display list trick above which didn't work.
