View 2 RepliesI'm loading external pages .swf's into a site, using in/out transitions and I want to preload any and everything that goes through the container MC how would I go about doing this?Is there a way to set a preloader to load all files coming through there? I'm really only loading .swf's for now though.So basically I want to load mutliple swf's through one container and have a preloader on the container so that it preloads all the swfs before they play...
View 4 RepliesI'm fairly new to actionscript and could use some help. I'm using Flash CS3, AS 1/2.I have made a musicplayer that is inside a movieclip, but when i pull the movieclip onto the stage the buttons inside the movieclip stop working.Inside the Movieclip:I have the music start on frame 1 and then gotoAndPlay at frame 3.Frame 3 has a stop();, a button that stops the music and gotoAndPlay "play".Frame 2 has a stop();, a button that plays the music and gotoAndPlay "stop".it all works fine on its own, but as soon as i stick it on the stage it stops working.Labels have been set up fine, it works when i use 'Test Scene'. I've hardcoded all the buttons to work on the timeline frames and not on the buttons.[code]
View 1 RepliesIm using Flash 8 to make a meny for my webiste. When you point whit the mouse on the meny it will scroll down, and if you take it outside it will scroll back. But im facing a problem When i try to put buttons or linked text into the movieclip, they just wont work... Anyone know what i have done wrong?Here you can download the movieclipHeres the code.
on (rollOver) {_root.html.gotoAndPlay(2);}on (rollOut) { _root.html.gotoAndPlay(7); }
The thing is: I have got 5 movieclips which are able to drag and drop. Next to that I've got 20 containers which are all droptargets. The movieclips are able to be dragged and then dropped on a container. So far so good. But what I want is that when I drop a movieclip on a container which already has a movieclip dropped on it, the first movieclip gets removed and the second movieclip is dropped on the container. Or you could also say.. that the second movieclip replaces the first movieclip. This instead of the fact that a container has multiple movieclips dropped on itself.

So I've been asked to make a website for the restoration company I work for. I'm all finished except for a "gallery" section where they want to showcase some of the houses and buildings they have worked on.Normally I would just find a simple tutorial on how to externally load images into Flash and make a quick slideshow with thumbnails.But the problem is, some of the photos have before and after shots. What I would like to do is have the before shot blend into the after shot back and forth. I have been able to do all of this no problem, but my filesize is way too big to just have one preloader for the whole file. So what I would like to do is have a preloader for each movieclip once I click the corresponding thumbnail.

View 4 Repliesfirst frame of my movie i have a stop frame with a simple clip which i tween (tween class) in that same frame. just a white line that comes in and slides down the stage. i'm not preloading this movie itself because it only contains that initial tween and some light actionscript.My tween ends, triggers .onMotionFinished and I load a 1000px x 620px jpeg into a 2nd movie clip and advance to the next frame in the main timeline where I have a 3rd movie clip with a basic preloader bar movie clip inside it.on that 2nd frame i assign an .onEnterFrame function to that 3rd clip like this:
Code:
stop();
preloadClip.onEnterFrame=function(){
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this._parent.picHolder.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this._parent.picHolder.getBytesTotal());
[code]....
i usually use .onEnterFrame in this manner to preload stuff into clips with no problems.. for some reason, now my loadBar inside the preload clip gets moved over to the left end of the stage and doesn't appear to register any change in the ._width if i test movie and simulate download.
I have an empty container MovieClip in which I put a couple of other MovieClips.These inner MovieClips have the ability to expand (kind of accordeon).Everytime a new item gets added/removed or when an item expands/collapses I check if scrolling is needed by checking container.height.The weird thing is that the result is different depending on which item is expanded. Although all the items (and the expanded sections) have equal height and spacing.

View 1 RepliesI'm having problem with regards to getting the name of the inserted images inside the movieclip container.
My movieclip container is named "container", it followed this snippet:
[Code]....
Is it possible to get the exact name of the images instead of "instance147" or "instance175"? So that if i have inserted image with the name of apple.png, it will show:
| 1. name:apple.png type:object [object Loader]
By the way, i use FileReference to insert image to the stage.

Using MovieClipLoader, is it possible for the loaded swfs to access movie clips in the container swf movie? In building a preloader for a previously produced flash app (originally made for CD), I was running across huge problems with some dynamically created masks (created using attachMovie and setMask). My solution (not ideal, I guess) was to move the masks and the masked objects into the preloader ("container") movie. But still need to move them around by code located inside the swf being loaded.
Relevant code from inside the preloader:
myMCL.onLoadInit = function() {
_root.attachMovie("screenText12", "screenText12", 15)
_root.attachMovie("internalMask", "internalMask12", 17)
_root.screenText12.setMask("internalMask12");
}
And from inside the swf being loaded:
_root.screen12.onMotionFinished = function() {
screenText12InY = new Tween(_root.screenText12, "_y",mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 463, 403, .5, true);
The red is where I'm not sure of how to get in contact with the movie clip in the preloader.
I've been going through the Transitions Between External SWF tutorials and all is going well except I wish to situate my buttons in a movieclip and not on the main timeline as the tutorial teaches. The tutorial does point out; 'If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. If your buttons are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.'Does anyone know how I'd do that to the below code? (for some reason the code tags were messing up so I've just copy and pasted.)

This seems like a really nooby question to me, but it was a lot easier in AS2. How could I create a blank container movieclip in AS3? I tried stuff like Code: var container:object = new Object(); And using movieclips and stuff instead of objects, but it didn't work. Also, is there a way to loop through the stage to find every movieclip that it contains? My snake game is currently, for lack of a better word (or perhaps attention span in English) un-re-playable.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to have the full stroke size (height/width) fully included or excluded in the movieclip symbol?If I'm making a rectangle with size 100, adding dynamically lines of size 20 when certain criteria are reached in game. But I also want to have stroke of size 5-6, problem is that they half their size in included in the rectangle 100 of height, and half are outside.It makes it more tricky to make the formulas to take in consideration the 2.5 for the size and also the effect on x positionning etc. Much easier to just have to do the like of "x += 20" without the assle of calculating the half stroke height.So how to have those stroke included/excluded when converting to symbol?

I have a container movieClip that is centered whenever the browser resizes. In the container, I have a preloader MC and my content MC. But for some reason I can't get the preloaderMC to work. Does the preloader have to be on the main timeline? Would somebody mind taking a look at the preloader code to let me know if there is anything I can change?
Here is the code:

grad.setMask(percentage_mc2);
onEnterFrame = function () {
//Get bytes loaded of _root timeline and calculate percentage loaded based on total bytes
loading = _root.getBytesLoaded();

I am using Flash CS3 and AS2. I have a dynamically generated text string that is displaying in a multiline dynamic text box. This dynamic text box is inside a container movie clip which contains everything that I want my user to be able to print (other dynamic text fields, graphics etc.) When I view my swf on screen it displays exactly as I intended - if the text exceeds the text-box length, then it word-wraps. But when I print the container movieclip, the overflow is hidden and does not wrap to the next line.
