ActionScript 2.0 :: Clear Interval In External Swf From Main Movie?
Jul 20, 2010
I have an external swf, which uses an interval to space out the loading of JPEGs.
This swf is loaded into the main swf using the movieclip loader class. I unload the external swf when a button is pressed - and I am also attempting to clear the interval at this point. However, it's not working for me - when I click on another button to go back to the frame that loads the external swf, it is obviously running additional intervals. The JPEGs start loading faster and faster.
This is my code:
External swf -
PHP Code:
var fadeInterval:Number = setInterval(fadeIn, 750);
Main swf -
PHP Code:
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
createEmptyMovieClip("external", 3);
mclLoader.loadClip("flashElements/pics_home.swf", external);
[Code]....
Now the second bit of code is what I've come up with after trawling the internet for answers. I've come across more than one forum where people are having this exact problem, which is seemingly fixed by the above. However for me, no dice.

it looks like the problem is that the interval has not been clear so every time i click away from my slide show (for example navigate to my contact swf) and then come back to the slide show the pictures keep looping on top of each other and fading at the wrong times too.
var id, current;
var k = 0, p = 0;
var slide = 1;
function loadXML(loaded) {

I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.

I have a few questions I am hoping to get a few clear answers to. I have been looking around the web and in books for the last few hours and I can't seem to get an answer that is clear, at least not clear to me Question1 If an external class such as a document class is used, you cannot simply access a nested movie clip that has been dropped on the stage from the library using dot syntax, is this correct? Example:

I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.

- i have 3 separate movie clips (a,b,c)
- my main movie is (a) and when i click a button there, it will go to external movie (b)
- under external movie (b) there's a movie clip that includes my animation and content button
- if i click on the content button on movie (b), external movie (c) will pop up [ it will not replace movie (b) but will just overlap it, it's like a small pop up ]
i did the actionscript and when i'm testing external movie (b), it's working... it's showing/popping up movie (c) but when i tried it on the main movie (a), the movie (c) is not popping on the (b) err, sorry if it's a bit confusing / how i explained it. but hopefully somebody will get the idea. and it won't also return on the main movie (a) when i click on a link from the external movie.

I'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.

my problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";

I'm building a website, in which the 'Gallery Page' has a link to an external swf file, which is a scrolling clip of thumbnails.
What I want to do, is create each thumbnail into a button, which will then play a Movie Clip from a frame located in the Main swf file. (So basically, each thumbnail button is a small photo, will play that photo in a large scale as a movie)
eg.
thumbnail1_btn needs to go to main swf and play movieclip1.mc, frame 1
thumbnail2_btn nends to go to main swf and play movieclip1.mc, frame 2

I am a bit new to the world of externally loaded swf's. I am trying to load an swf into my main movie, and then access/control the movieclips within that newly loaded swf, but for some reason it is not working.
Here is a quick example:
this.menu.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip_mc",this.menu.getNextHighestDepth()+1);
this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.loadMovie("\menu\standard.swf",this.menu.getNextHighestDepth()+1);
this.menu.myMovieClip_mc._lockroot = true;
trace(this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.option);
this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.onRollOver = function() {
trace("Hello?");
this.bounce(120);
}
Okay this code does sucessfully create the movieclip but my onRollOver function does not work, and I cannot access any of the movieClips within myMovieClip_mc such as option, it traces out as undefined.

I am trying to place an external .swf into my main movie.
I created a container movie for the .swf in the main .fla:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mapcontainer",this.getNextHighestDepth );
mapcontainer._x = 163;
mapcontainer._y = 101;
[Code]....
I imagine that the solution lies in readjusting _root for the fact that the external .swf is now placed inside a parent, but I don't know how to do that.
n.b. my final movie is meant to run offline.

I`m working on a main swf (Main.swf). There are many seites with many themes. On each site (Frames 1,2,3,.....25) There`s a button to get to an external .swf. If I`m in the external .swf, there is a button too, to get back (back) to the mainmovie. Now what I wanted to do is, go back from the external .swf to the Main.swf to its Frame Nr.5, when i press the button "back". With that Code below I can only get to the mainmovie 1.Frame (its Home).
//Connection to LEVEL1
back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick3 );
function mouseClick3(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]....
What should I add the code to make it work?

I am trying to load external swf files in a main movie.I have created 3 different movies. Main movie is named "Container". Another 2 movies are named "movie1.swf" and "movie2.swf".Main movie "Container" is having some navigation buttons and template sort of thing in it. On the lowest layer in main movie I have created an empty movie clip in which I am trying to load "movie1.swf".Now problem is when I load "movie1.swf" instead of loading the external movie in target mc, it clears all the contents in main movie.

I have loaded an external swf into an empty movie clip in my main movie. Movie clip works fine when I test the external swf by itself. Once I test the main movie and load the ext. swf file the movie clip stops working.
This movie clip will act as a button. It is a small folder tab that will move up once clicked and move down when it is clicked again. Will changing the _root to _parent work?
AS for the movieclip:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = _root.variSpeed;
}

When importing external swf's, would it be better to have the preloader code in the external swf or in the main movie? I've seen threads about this everywhere but I don't see the difference. Once the movie pops in it starts preloading right? Is there a faster result when the preloader is in the main movie?

Anyway, I have a main.swf with a menu that is its own mc. (It needs to pop up when the menu button is clicked), from this menu I need external swfs to open inside my main.swf. I also want my external swfs to play in order. like mod_1.swf plays and then opens mod_2.swf ect.
(the menu is just for the user to jump around)
So I have started with this code... on the main timeline(Scene) I have a target code
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
container._x = 0
container._y = 0

I have a menu and each button reveals a hidden layer which includes it's submenu (another swf).The submenus have sub-submenus in the same swf.When I take the mouse away from these layers the submenus hide again.All these work.The problem is that when a sub-submenu is opened and then the layer hides, when it's shown again the sub-submenu is still opened.Is there a way to clear memory or unload a swf file through html or through the main menu swf?

I am currently building an mp3 player with a little screen which displays some images in a certain order. Everything is loaded in through XML. I would like to preload those images together with my main movie (using the same preloader bar), so the images can be used later. How would I accomplish this?
