ActionScript 2.0 :: Unloading Movie Clip From Root Container?
Aug 5, 2008
I've created a main page with my main links on top, and a container as my body.I load my pages with this action to the container.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "production";
container.loadMovie("production.swf");
[code]....
Inside the production.swf files I've created a gallery with a MovieClip that loads from my library to a container1 inside the production.swf. In the galleryMC(from library), Ive created a close button to unload it from the container1. It works fine from my production.swf file, but when it loads to the main page it doesn't unload. This is the ActionScript that I have to unload the Movie Clip.
on (release) {
this._root.container1.unloadMovie();
}

when loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?

I can load and unload a movie via the "loadClip" and "unloadClip" methods. So far, so good. However, I notice that the movie is not altogether "unloaded".Some of it continues to run even though the visible movie is gone. I know this because there is an "interval" timer started within the movie and I am seeing the effects of that "thread" (ok, maybe its not a thread but thats what it seems like to me. Process, maybe?). Anyway, even though I have used the unloadClip method to unload the clip, I have a feeling that there is a lot more I should be doing to clean up the mess I have left behind. Seeing the effects of the still-running interval timer, I now have visions of memory leaks not far behind.

I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.

I'm loading jpg's externally into a dynamically created movie clip that then get clicked on to show a larger image. I'd like to be able to click on that MC/larger image to close it once it's loaded. Here's the code I'm using to create the MC and for the life of me can't figure out how to do it after extensive searching on the subject. Basically I'm wanting to go back to the "pre-click" state of the movie when it first loads before any clicking happens.
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("large_mc", 1);
with (_root.large_mc){
_x=225;
_y=92;
[code]....
but it doesn't work...

I'm using Flex to load external swfs, and casting them as movie clips so I can communicate with them. However, I'm having difficulty unloading the movieclip. I've tried setting loaded_MC = null, but it still continues to run in the background.
public var loaded_MC:MovieClip;
private function init():void
{
loaded_MC = MovieClip(swfLoad.content);

I have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){

I am trying to do up the framework for a flash project which has a transistion fadein and fadeout whenever it loads a new content but faces no result. How is this done? I have created fade in and fadeout as movieclips. Is there any script that I can use in my fadein movie clip that tell the root frame to jump to another frame?

In my document I have my actionscript on Layer 1. In this I duplicate an enemy movie clip.The controls for moving the enemy are inside the enemy movie clip, so setting speed, where to start from etc.On the Layer 1, I also run a script which acts as a timer, and when it reaches set values (eg. 10 seconds) it "levels up" (basically just changes background colour). I wand this to increase the speed of the enemy movie clips so that they get faster. I have this code:
Actionscript Code:
for(i=1;i<=enemies;i++){ _root["enemyRight"].duplicateMovieClip("enemyRight"+i,i+1000,enemyRight);

I'm trying to control the root timeline from a movie clip. On the last frame of the movie clip, I have:
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay (10);
which successfully brings me back to frame 10 on the main timeline. However, from here, none of the ActionScript that is on Frame 1 seems to work... the rollovers aren't working, except on those embedded in a separate movie clip.

In Flash CS3 using Action Script 3, how can I tell the main timeline to gotoAndStop(); a certain frame from within a movie clip.
I have a menu (which is a movie clip) with various buttons. Each button corresponds to a certain frame in the main movie. So if a user click on Button1, it should gotoAndStop(1); and Button2 should gotoAndStop(2); and so on.
In Action Script 2, I could use _root.gotoAndPlay(2); from what I understand, but that does not work in Action Script 3.

I have on my main timeline a movie clip (emptyMC) that I am loading my external SWFs into and I need to be able to access this loader movie clip from my menu, which is it's own movie clip. As it stands, when I have my buttons on the main timeline I have no issue. But once I put these same buttons into the menu MC I am lost as to how to "get back" to the loader on the main timeline to load and unload the external SWFs.Here is my current code that allows for me to load and unload with buttons on the main timeline. Is there away to modify this same code for my purposes?[code]

how to attach a movie clip to the stage or root. I have created a movie clip called movClip and have checked export for actionscript and have chosen "movClip" as its class.I have used this script:
ActionScript Code:
function button1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var mc1:movClip=new movClip();
mc1.x=0;
[code]....
This attaches the movie clip. Great! Problem is it doesn't attach the movie to the root or stage, but rather as a child of this function?? weird! so when I want to use removeChild(mc1) from a different function from a different button or even from an action set on a different timeline it can't target mc1?So how do I make this work. Basically I want one function from button 1 to attach the movie clip and I want a second function from a second button to remove the movie clip.

Just need to figure out how to pass root level variable to a movie clip which contains a dynamic text box to display the passed variable. How is this possible? I usually use global variables when i was coding in AS2...but it appears this feature is dropped in AS3.

I'm trying to add an element to the scene on the root level, and when it is dropped within a specific movie clip area, it takes that element and puts it in the movie clip, thus allowing me to mask out the area.
Everything works fine when I add can.addChild(myBox); directly, but the element is not viewable on the root scene, since the movie clip is masked. Right now with the code below, the result is gives me is not good. It creates the element on the root level, but doesn't allow me to put it in the movie clip.

I have a main swf which I am loading other swf's in to using a container. On each of the swf's I am loading I have an unload button which I placed the actionscript below on. The swf unloads fine, but it seems to be unloading the container as well. After I unload one video the others will not load. I don't know if it is because the unload button is on the swf being loaded and is not on the main swf or what. Is there anything I can put in this to make it unload the external swf and not the container on the main swf?
Code:
on (press){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this._alpha > 0){
this._alpha -= 8;

I cant figure out how to unload a movie clip. I thought i knew how, but its not working and i've tried everything i can think of.I'm loading an external swf like this:[code]This works fine. It loads an external swf that plays a youtube video. However, whenever i click on my navigation buttons to go to another page (basically another movieclip in teh _root level, it does not unload the youtube player and it keeps playing. Further more, if i go back to that page, the youtube player loads again and starts repeating itself.I thought by adding the following code to all my navigational buttons, the youtube player would unload, but it doesn't:[code]

I am building a small banner, which ideally will have a random string of text fade in (long enough to be read), then fade out...to play another random text.
Each of my texts have been built as movie clips... they fade in, stay up long enough to be read, then fade out. At the end of this, I need the movie to go back to frame 1 of the main timeline, as I am using the following script:
Code:
_root.onLoad = function() {
//generate a random number from 1 to 11
var nRandom = 1+Math.floor(Math.random()*12);
//tell timeline to goto and play the random number 'nRandom'
gotoAndPlay(nRandom);
};
Each of my text movie clips are on a different frame, so I need to call a new random _root frame to play from within the movie clips. So far, all that is happening is whichever movie is chosen to play, goes in a loop.

I'm sorry if this post breaks forum conventions, but I searched and didn't find a solution in past posts.
I'm writing a function that highlights components of the animation I've created.
It does this by creating a white box on top of the entire stage, tweening it's alpha value from 0 to 80, and creating a new instance of the movie clip to be highlighted on top of that white box.
I run into a problem when I need to highlight components that are movie clips nested within ones on the top/root level.
When I duplicate instances of nested movie clips, they just exist within the movie they were nested in.
I want to pull those duplicated, nested movie clips into the root area so it rests on top of that white box I just mentioned. How do I take a nested movie clip and pull it out of it's parent onto the top/root level?

when I attach an mc inside another movie clip and then during interaction with the movie change the _x of that parent clip to whatever other value than original location, the _x of the child mc does not change as it regards its position in relation to the parent - moving the parent does not move the child within it how do i find the _x of the child in relation to the _root though as opposed to the relation to its parent?

I am creating a course that requires loading/unloading of several swfs in a container. My course structure is something like :
Course->Module01->src->test.as
->Module02->src->test.as
When I load file from Module01 in my container it works fine, but files from Module02 is not working as they should. They seem to be reading the code from the as file in Module01. The course works fine when I give the as files different names, but I want to keep the names as they are now as I have created several modules and sub-modules on similar structure.
