What is the best way to attached sound to my movie. I used to used the sound obejct as such:
my_Sound_sound = new Sound();
mySound_sound.attachSound("soundID");
But by under the linkage menu I am only able to select export in the first frame. Which makes my first frame super huge. Than my preloader will not load until the sound, so it is no good.

I've attached a movie clip using the attachMovie method. I was wondering if it's possible to handle the attached movie clip... I don't know if I'm expaining this correctly but I'd like my movie clip to perform some simple actions (gotoAndPlay, Stop)This is my (lame) script:
//Ataching clip
this.emptyClip.attachMovie("photo001","Img001",get NextHighestDepth());
//Action for the attached clip
this.emptyClip.gotoAndPlay("starting");
How do i change movie clips inside MC3?lets say i have a button called but1 inside MC3, how do i make his enabled=false?
View 6 RepliesI copied this code from the web that creates snow and I have this code on frame 100. I want to remove this movie clip when it starts back again on frame 1.
[Code]...
I just want each instance of the movie clip from my collect_array to show up in a different x & y position.
(the collect_array is defined as an array elsewhere). It displays the first item in the array once (or it's displaying all the items on top of each other).
PHP Code:
if (collect_array.length > 0) {
var xplace = 50;
var yplace = 50;

I'm having trouble figuring out how to target a series of movie clips i'm attaching to my movie.I'm loading some xml for a slideshow and i'm generating a series of dots at the bottom of the screen to indicate how many steps are in the slideshow and the circle is meant to highlight your current position as you step through the presentation.the MC for the dots is two keyframes with a different color and a stop action on each frame.
Here's the rundown of the code:
1. There's nothing weird here, i'm just bringing the xml in [code]
2. Here is the loadXML function i reference in the xml.Data.onLoad above:[code]Okay so now i have some dots with the instance names, step0, step1 etc. right? And at the end of my loadXML function you see the firstImage(); function. This is where my problem is, how do i target the first (step0) instance? I have no problem when I write "step0.gotoAndStop(2);" but I need to figure out how to use a variable to keep moving it along when i make my next and last functions for the slideshow.
3. Here is the firstImage function:[code]how do i target the step the same way i target the image? do i have to go back and do something in the loadXML for loop?[code]
is there a cleaner way to attach movie clips than this type of syntax?
_root.attachMovie ("Frame", "frame", 60);
frame._x = 375;
frame._y = 375;

I used the tutorial posted at http:[url]... Now I have a button on my stage that attaches a movie from the library.
on (release) { this.holder.attachMovie(contents�,�contentslinks� ,1); }
It works fine but I also have buttons inside the attached movie clip that need to control a movie that is already on the stage.
contentslinks.contents_link_1.onRelease = function() { content_mc._visible = false; book_mc.directGotoPage(4);
If I just place the attached movie on the stage the buttons work but I when I proceed to use attachMovie, they do not work. How do I get the buttons in the attached movie to address the movie that is already on the stage?
I have a website, when you click a menu item it fades the current page out, and the selected one in. No problems with that, it all works well.
The only problem is, within those attached movies, all the actionscript doesnt work. I have, for example, a research page, which have 4 buttons, each of which attach a movieclip to and empty movieclip... Just a simple attachMovie function, but it doesnt work. If copy the research movieclip into a seperate flash file, everything works and the movies are attached fine, but in the website .fla, after the research page is loaded itself, none of the movies attach properly.
Are there any known issues with attaching movies within an attached movie?
about making a Flash application that sticks to the bottom of a web page, even when scrolling?
View 1 RepliesQ1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
I would like to have one movieclip over the top of other attached ones. I have tried getNextHighestDepth on the movieclip, but it still doesn't work. Here is my code for attaching the movieclips:
PHP Code:
function growSpider() {
spiders = 0;

I have a button that has an onPress function that attaches a movieclip with startDrag(true) so the attached movie snaps to the mouse and can be dragged around. The problem is that I don't know how to set up the onRelease function so that when the mouse button is lifted the attached movieclip is removed. Also, the attached movie appears in the upper left corner for just an instant before snapping to the mouse.
View 9 RepliesBasically its an onPress event handler on a movie clip that attaches another movie to it when pressed.The problem is, I only want the movie clip to be attached once in the designated x,y coordinates, no matter how many times the main object is pressed. I'm essentially trying to write my own FreeTransform script, that allows users to resize the object.
Below is the my source code:
ActionScript Code:
chair_mc.onPress = function() {
var bounds:Object = chair_mc.getBounds(this);

I use attachMovie to call movie clips succesively on the stage. I use a forward button to slide them in progression but when I want to go back in the same order everything gets messed up. You can see the swf playing here, [URL]..I numbered each frame so you can see when clicking on back button it gets messed up.
// Each of the button functions here call the add_page() function and pass the Identifier of the page that they will display b_0.onRelease = function() {

I've been attempting to launch a window from an attached movie, I've got the function to work but after it launches, the main window (with the flash file) relocates automatically with the message "[object Window]"
I'm presently using the following coding with the button's AS:
Code:
getURL("javascript:window.open('http://www.atomicstos.com/popup.html','Nubeau Guarantee', 'toolbar=no, location=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, width=500, height=800')");
I've attempted to setup a javascript function in the HTML and have the "getURL" call the function, but that doesn't seem to work.
Say I can create 200 different movie clips on the stage when I press a button and want to destroy them when I click on them, how would I do this.

I'm trying to achieve an effect such that when a user rolls over a movie clip, a new movie clip appears, enlarges and fades out over the original.
I've managed to attach a movieclip to the main stage, but I can't get it to ripple out, so to speak, like I wanted to.
I've been trying to do it by altering the height, with, and alpha with a loop, but something's just not right. The following code is attached to the movie clip I want this to happen for.
[AS]on (rollOver) {
_root.attachMovie ("aaronName","aaronClone",1);
aaronClone._x = aaronName._x;

i'm trying to remove a function from a movieclip, is there a way of doing this, so I keep the movieclip on stage but removes the onPress etc? I'd also want to be able to reapply that function the movieclip later.
View 2 RepliesI currently am creating a game where you shoot at targets that randomly appear. I have them set to be randomly generated via an attachMovieClip object, and all works well... EXCEPT that whenever it generates the clip from the Library, the instance is WAY above the rest of movie (layer-wise)!
This means that my custom-crosshairs cursor, for instance, is always behind the target and thus the user cannot mouseDown and shoot it.
