I have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this code:
[Code]....
I have a sample XML file with two images. If I remove either of the items from the XML, it everything displays fine, but with 2 items in the XML, the first item doesn't show an image, but the second does (maybe the first is being attached in a position behind the second?)
Code:
function myFunction(myMC) {
myMC.attachMovie(myMC, myMC, getNextHighestDepth());
}
myFunction(test); I want this to attach a MC from my library called "test" to a movieclip holder called "test" on the canvas and have it named test. In the end, the instance path would be _root.test.test.
The problem is myMC (the one right after the first parenthesis) is not populating correctly because it is not being read by Flash properly. The typeof myMC is movieclip. I can String(myMC), but still no hope. How do I get this done?
how I can attach an image that's in the library to a movie on the stage...? I've tried using the attachMovie command. It looks straight forward enough, but I can't seem to get it to work.
- Have a Flash movie that has images 1.jpg, 2.jpg... 10.jpg in the library.
- I then want to be able to create a new version of the file and replace the images and have them automatically picked up in the resultant SWF. Currently, I'm having to open up the Flash file, edit each of the movies where the image is and replace the image. This can be time consuming.
Can you name a Sprite like a movie clip and then reference that to attach an image? Like:
myMovieClip.mySprite.attachChild(imageLoader);
how to add an image under another one called with addChild?

I am trying to add a button to every image loaded from an xml file, so that when the image is rolled over the button does something on top of it.
I have made the button and given it the linkage id of thumbOver.

The thumbnails come up fine, but the button doesnt make a showing and i cannot see why not.
i am calling a movieClip from the library dynamically and want to load an image into the movieClip.here is the code so far, i am not sure how to reference the movieClip to add the image to it.

I have a movie that calls other movie clips with a preload and fade for each external mc called. but after you call and load the swf in the container it disappears aftre about 30 seconds it disappears if you dont do anything and then it comes back after about 30 seconds. I am using this script for the preload object and fade.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(dummy ==1){
_root.text._alpha += 10;
} loaded = _root.clip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.clip.getBytesTotal();
[Code] .....
Then this is on every frame to make it use the preload and fade in the new loaded swf after it shows it loading.
clip.loadMovie("GuardHouse.swf");
clip._alpha = 0;
now = 0;
text.dummy = 1;
//now load the external file into the myData object
myData.load("GuardHouse.txt");
stop();
Also I dont know if this has anything to do with this problem but when I load an external swf it does not show any actions i have in there or any text but does show images and shapes but not dynamic text boxes or fades or anything like that. You can view it at the url below. I have listed the link to the main movie swf and the map1.swf that it calls when you click on floor plan so you can see when you view the map1.swf by itself there is more stuff that does not show up when loaded into the main swf.

I have 4 Movieclips on stage, each called btn1, btn2, btn3 and btn4. Inside each movieclip is an image and then a layer above it called cover_mc.The piece of code i have here, which is located on the main timeline, should be registering a MOUSE_OVER command and then fading out the cover_mc movieclip from within that particular Movieclip im hovering over.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I've followed the tuts on the site and written||cut'n'paste a few bits together that resize my picture to the border's size.
[Code]...
First; this code didn't work properly until I put the 'this.onEnterFrame' section just before the resizePic function is called. Why? Second; I've noticed a lot of times 'onEnterFrame' is called, its deleted again further down the code. Should I be doing so in this case? Why is it normally deleted? Memory managent?
I have the next code: Im trying to make a preloader for the image that gets loaded in a movieclip called picholder, Now the problem is that i get undefined back for the image so i cannot preload what is not there hehe and im not sure what im doing wrong In my other fla the image passes fine and the code is the same

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:

{
startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

I need a flash mentor. Not a forum, where if someone happens to feel up to it, they'll give me a quick answer. I need someone who will dialogue with me promptly, go through my files, read my code, and help me with my projects.
When i was in undergrad, i took a course called interactive media that was mostly about flash. When i was working on a project and i became stuck on something because of a problem i didnt know how to fix, i could just ask my instructor for some help. He'd give me thorough, common language answers. This is what i need. The class only taught me the basics. Tutorials and tech jive forums don't help me very much.
I imagine no one wants to do this kind of thing for free. So paying for a service is an option. Where can i find a service like this?
Say I have a symbol MyButton, as a button with the 4 special frames. When you mouse-over/mouse-out an instance, I'd like another object to be affected... text in some text box changing, or the item becoming visible, or similar. I know AS3 but I'm a real noob at CS3. I don't really get how actions work in CS3.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to display objects from class files and methods.
Now I was looking at the source of this project here [URL]
To learn how to do this from AS3, main question I have how is the Main() class being called there? There is no actionscript in the frames of the FLAs so where is the call coming from to the Main class to initialize display? Is there something special about the Main() class that has it called when a swf is loaded.
I tried to duplicate it by making a simple Main which extends MovieClip and simply placing it in the root folder of the project but it isn't being auto called and it hasn't worked.
