ActionScript 2.0 :: _root - Load Swf Into Another With "loadmovie" With An Empty MC The Pages Stop Working
Nov 14, 2004
Im new in actionsript and I have a problem with _root. I have a swf. with two MC en the main stage: Mc_menu and Mc_pages. The Mc_menu has several buttons with the code "_root.pages=2" which moves the different pages that are in the Mc_pages. If I publish the fla. it works perfectly. Now, when I wanted to load this swf into another with "loadmovie" with an empty MC the pages stop working... I guess is because of the rutes, but i don�t know how to refer them correctly. What I have right now is: in the main stage an empty MC and a button with the code:
I'm having a tough time with a page sliding clip, and not sure what to do.
I've got a movieClip with a page sliding effect that I found here at Flash Kit. It's perfect for what I need, however the effect will only work in that movieClip. Once you try to load that movieClip from anywhere else, the sliding no longer works.
When I try to use loadMovie, it will not load to an instance (unless it's something that's in the same directory). I figured this was some sort of security thing, but I was able to load the movie into _root just fine.
I just need to know where to reference _root to load a swf into an empty mc using an asfunction. Canadian out with this previous question, and the trace seems to be working, however my clips aren't loading. There needs to be a reference to root somewhere right? Everywhere I try to add it yields the same lack of result. Here's Canadian's code:
Anyway I am having problems with my flash file. I am calling a movie through actionscript using the loadMovie command into a container (movieclip) on stage. The code i have used is below;
Code: var MoviePath =Path[slide_count]; loadMovie(MoviePath, loader_mc);;
The movie files are stored externally, and i have set the paths into an array as there is multple movies.
The problem I am having is pausing the actual movie and resuming it when they clicked on a particulr button on stage.
I have used this two codes when they click the pause button. But am not sure why it is not working.
I have traced to see whether the button is working or not and it seems to be responding when i click on the button. Just that the movie is not pausing.
The whole flash file is set on one scene with buttons on the one layer, the actionscript on another, and the movie container (loader_mc) is on its own layer as well.
Any support will be well recieved, as I have wrapped my brain around this and cant seem to solve it. I have tried various combination as well. being,
I am building a flash application using flex. From time to time, I see an issue in IE 7 and 8 where the user logs into the site and the browser content pane is completely grey and the entire page (html, javascript and flash) won't load until the user clicks the X (Stop) button next the address bar. As soon as the X is clicked, the html loads and then the swf file loads immediately.
This doesn't happen for me or any other developers on the project so it is very hard to diagnose. The users are all using the latest flash player. The only difference between our setups that I can think of is that we have the debug version of flash player and they probably do not.
I need do load an JPG dynamically. The URL is variable pase by Javascript.So... I have do create de variable in the JS e send it fo Flash.I'm getting this variable already. Using swfLiveconnect, and in the javascript the method SetVariable(var,value); I'm changing de value of the var. I can chage textfields, but the method loadMovie isn't working, by putting de URL param as the variable I get from javascript.Here goes the code I'm using:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head>[code].....
I have an object (with it's own timeline) and on the last frame of that timeline I have the following code:
Code: stop(); _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainLoop_mc", 2000); with (_root.mainLoop_mc){
[code]....
The problem is, when the "mainLoop.swf" file loads it obliterates my main UI SWF instead of attaching itself to a particular spot on the UI. So one SWF is replacing the other.
I want to loadMovie in the target _root.as. And the url is dynamic: _root.as.loadMovie(_root.link) Unfortunately the movie isn't loaded I tried to convert _root.link to string but nothing
I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr
I am getting ready to start a new project and I want to make sure I'm on the right track! It will be a site that uses loadmovie (I hope) to fade pages in and out in equal amounts. (I.E movie 1 unloads and fades out at the same rate movie 2 loads up and fades in)I found a reply by Kglad for doing something similar with jpegs the code was:
on (rollOver) { mc=this.placeholder_mc mc._alpha=0; loadMovie("Costume/Bailiff.jpg", "placeholder_mc"); clearInterval(fadeI); [Code] .....
So I am hoping this will work with a swf. I think I would have to assign buttons which would unload current MC at a fade rate and have another MC fade in at that same rate. And I am guessing the buttons would be loaded on a layer above any of the movies.
I'm making a new as3 file, and there I made an animation, like an intro for my website, in a movie clip. But what I want is, when this animation or this movie clip ends, automatically it charges another swf with my website, without having to press any button. I read some tutorials on internet that I can make this, creating a new empty movie clip, and then writing some code, but it didn't work me.
i am trying to load a list of jpgs in to flash using as 3. eventually i am going to tile them etc. but right now my script goes through my for loop and just replaces the image i previously loaded... in as 2. i of course would change the name and depth of these images as i loaded them but i am of course not using createEmptyMovieClip or loadMovie etc.. so i am a bit lost..
How do you do loadMovie into an empty movie clip automatically, without a silly butto push or anything?I've got a movie. I want to include another movie when the .swf file loads (so I can use a preloader on the movie that's being loaded).So, in my timeline, on a layer called banner, I have an empty movie clip I've made, with the following code:
topbar.swf is the name of the movie that's being called.barHolder is the instance name for the movie clip I want it to load to. So why isn't this working?
I am doing a simple loadmovie, bringing an external swf into a holder clip that is empty. here is my code. I have it placed on frame one INSIDE the holder clip:
The external movie loads, but the issue is HOW it loads. The swf is 643x394 and looks fantastic by itself. When it is loaded into the holder clip though, it scales it and makes it much taller and wider than the actual external SWf is, and is messing the way it looks up.
I have a movie with 3 scenes, the last one has only just one statement on the timeline:_root.stop(), and there are not library objects neither ones created by code. Just and empty stage with the statement I told.I know I am not an expert in Flash yet, the entire design of code in timeline and movieclips are not very clear and tidy.When the movie reaches the scene three, it stays one or two seconds (not the same amount of time in each playing) and replay from scene one and the things become chaotics from there. I revisited one and two times the code and objects from movie explorer tool and can't figure out what demon makes re-start the movie when it must stop in the last scene
I have created a website with one flash animation banner.The banner .swf has 5 menus. Each menu goes to different movieclips inside the .swf file. and at the same time i want to load the corresponding html file when i click the menu button and place the html content into the bottom area of the main html page without refreshing the html page.
I can't seem to get... if(_root.currentframe to work. It just doesn't seem to recongnise what the _root frame is and won't goto the desired frame.I've attached a simple flash example which is very basic with a button inside a mc that asks the _root for the frame and if it's on frame 1 then should goto frame 5 - but it doesn't work. I've added a trace and that's returning the correct frame so it knows what the frame is.The actionscript on the button is..
if i have embeded swf like myswf.swf?myVar=test.txt ,i get by _root.myVar (test.txt)how can i get this parameter in AS3? I have searched google but no success
this code should work, but doesn't. Am I missing something? I'm simply trying to disable the button "cardSearchBtn" when the root timeline enters frame 6 (along with two other play actions).
Code: if (_root._currentframe != 6){ cardSearchBtn.enabled = true;[code].........
I have a class 'resizingObject', with a method 'addFunction()', which is instantiated in _root as 'resizer' (im certain of this - ive checked in the debug - variables list)
I then have another class, 'layerObject', that i want to be able to call the 'addFunction()' method - so inside the layerObject i tried _root.resizer.addFunction(), _level0.resizer.addFunction() and all manner of other business but to no avail...even an attempt to trace _root.resizer returns undefined.
why cant i acces the resizer instance of the resizingObject?
I have a very, very simple thing in Flash that just will NOT work in Firefox and it's driving me nuts. On the very first frame of the root, I have the following code:
Have a question about the _root.stop(). I have a pause and play feature in a flash player so the user can stop the presentation along with all the voiceover that streams with the presentation. I used the _root.stop() in the flash player hoping it will stop the main timeline, but also other embedded movieclip timelines. It stopped the main timeline, but not the other ones. How do I stop both timelines at the same time? the _root.stop() was not working for me.
I have loaded as2 swf in as3 using Loader object. Loading is done fine, but the problem is that the as2 swf uses stuff like _root, _level1.. etc. that doesn't work in as3. So is there any way by which I can make as2 swf work properly inside as2? I have bought some readymade as2 swf and need to use them here. I dont have the as2 fla so can't make any changes in them...
The function below belongs to an XML based photoGallery.swf... Its menu is automatically populated from the same XML file as well (thumbnail picture, title, description). The pictures load into an empty mc called imageContainer.In another empty mc called textContainer, I would like to load some text.swf from the xml list as well.How would you include that in the code?
Code: function loadTmbs () { var tmbs:XML = new XML ();[code]......
I followed a tutorial using AC3 and flash CS4, to build a website for myself. Want to have a video file in my site with back ground music and sound effect. I did fine doing it but there is some problem I cannot figure out. My movie clip starts nice but half way through when I go to other pages, the sound and music plays in all the other pages. I have zero knowledge about coding and English is my second language. How can I stop that playing in other pages? I am trying hard to see if someone had same problem like I do but can's find anyone posted any thing.This is the code I have for that page with video on it.
var modelingboardTween:Tween = new Tween(modelingboard_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, 710, 0, 3, true); modelingboardTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOT ION_FINISH,donePlaying);
i have SWF file named videoTwo instance of FLVPlayback which shows up when button called Media is clickedi have other buttons resume home etcwhenever i play the video then click on any other button it still plays in the background how can i stop that.
In the code below i want to change the _root.broj and _root.logo variables inside the function which returns values from .php file. Inside the function everything works fine and all values are correct but when i trace var broj outside the function it's still 0.
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); var broj:Number=0; var logo = new Array();
