This is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".

I was able to use LocalConnection to have 2 swfs communicating when both sitting in the same PC, or upload those on to the server and accessing those from the same PC. Is there any way to do this between two PCs, one PC running send.swf, controlling another PC running receive.swf? I checked adobe site for LocalConnection and it looks like this only works within one client PC.

I have an issue that is nearly identical to the poster of this thread, but this post is from 2007 and I think things might have changed since then.
To sum it up: I have a website with HTML files on Server A, and SWFs on Server B.
Users navigate to playgame.html (Server A) with MainMovie.swf (Server B) embedded in it.
MainMovie.swf is supposed to load a number of SWFs (from Server B) throughout. As far as I know they all need to be called with an absolute path, because a relative path will construct the path through the URL of the browser page which is still on Server A. Am I on the right path so far?
My MainMovie.swf literally calls hundreds of SWFs in hundreds of places and setting them all to absolute paths would take forever.
What other options do I have so that it all works on a remote server with relative URLs? MainMovie.swf is in a remote sandbox and can supposedly access files within its own domain, but it's the relative URLs that are killing me.
One solution I could think of is to load an html frame from Server B within playgame.html on Server A, and embed the SWF in there....

My Website opens, its written in HTML... There is a "Navigation" FLash at the top of the page which opens up HTML documents into the "Main Frame" below.Ok now... When the Website first loads up, In the Main frame of the page I want a flash swf to play as an intro to the website (Its a band website). Once the (intro) Swf ends I want it to tell the Navigation Flash Menu Swf to go ahead and show the buttons so people can navigate.Thats my first problem, or task to solve.2nd... If it is possible to control Swf's from an external one it must be possible to preload them aswell right? So what I want to do, is the site to load up... and all the preloading done from the Navigation Swf to account for both Swfs (Intro and Navigation)

I am aware that I can share simple Objects using LocalConnection, but this does not (in my limited testing) appear to work with NetConnection or NetStream.
In short, I wish to have a single SWF that acts as a NetConnection proxy for other SWF files in the HTML page. The client SWFs require direct access to NetStream objects on the proxys NetConnection.
Is this at all feasible, or will each client SWF require its own NetConnection?
I am aware that I could build the entire application in flash and utilize a single NetConnection internally, but this is NOT what I want to do.

What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?

If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?

I'm trying to build a site where all the pages are full browser and maintain aspect ratio. I would like to control the resizing from the menu page.The resizing works fine from the page that's being resized but when I try to let the parent swf do that it has issues. Here's what the home page looks like with the controls built in URL...This example is the site it has a menu page that I open the others from I remove the resizing code from the home page and try to resize from menu.swf.[code]

I have a site that presently has a preloader @ the beggining but takes too long to load everything. The main section has a sliding menu that triggers various movies containing photos and animations I have decided to extract all of the project items as SWF files and call them when required.The challenge I now have is that previously when an item was selected from from the menu it would send the play head to a new frame that had the the movieclip; this movie had an instance name which enabled me to use the 'close' button embedded in it and send the play head back to the sliding gliding menu.[code]

I am working on building an accordion style menu using Tweener. I have 3 movieClips on my stage, I can add a tween to each but I need a little help getting the menu items to end in the correct position. In my code below this line tells the movieClip to move to a position of y=25. Tweener. add Tween(mc,{y:25, time:1});I changed mc to box1 and box2 which makes evey thing move when I click, but how do I set up my function so I can click box1 and it will slide up and then click box2 and it slides up.[code]

For example: I have a graphical interface created in Flash AS3 which is simulating the control of machines on the ocean floor. I have 3D animations that will animate what is happening on the ocean floor when a control element is activated on the graphical interfaceAt the moment I have this happening all in one Flash player window that has been made to look like two windows. One which is the interface...one that is made to look like a small screen showing what looks like video coming in from a camera on the ocean floor.
What I need to be able to do is have the Control Screen as one window, and the animations to appear in another. In this way we can set up two monitors, have the control screen on one (computer monitor), the animations playing on the other (a large plasma connected to the same computer). The animations need to play within a flash shell and the control screen would need to play in a separate shell. So in essence I need to be able to double click on an .exe....two screen will activate showing one screen with buttons that port animations into the second screen which I have positions to play on the larger screen.

I have loaded the rotating object into a window using the loadMovie command.

Got a pitcular problem/question and im not sure it is possible. Im creating a project that enables the viewer to access a load of files (Pdf's and doc's) through flash. The problem is, these files will be added to and taken from about 4 times a year and there is anywhere from 2 to 20 folders in each folder containing these files.so What I want to do is have an image that when clicked on opens a new box that has links in it that these links are displayed from an xml or html then I need to have that code tell flash to open another box that has links displayed from another XML of HTML that has the links to the actual files being called.i guess the question is:Can flash be controlled by a link called from out side of flash?

I have this function :
Code:
function swapstate(newpage) {
for(var a in nav_left){
if (nav_left[a]._name != newpage) {
[Code]....
As you can see, it's made in order to change the look of a button when clicked and to also show a different look to the other buttons in the same movieclip container.
The problem is that gotoAndStop isn't triggered.

Note the button at the top called portfolio, on mouseover this button should loop through the "mouseover" label section, and when the user takes the mouse off of it it should continue to play through what it has started, and stop at the begining of the mouseover labelhen the user clicks on the button it should play through the "trans" label (only once) and begin to loop at the label section "current" when the user goes to another section, for example, clicks another button besides portfolio, the animation should stop on the label "visited" my code for it to loop looks like this (on the invisible button over the movie clip)
on (rollOver) {
portfolioBtn_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
}

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
