ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling External Movieclip Using An Empty Movieclip?
Nov 11, 2004
I am loading an external swf into an empty movie clip by use of a button.The movieclip is a sort of menu that begins with an animation of the menu opening, there are multiple different movieclips I am using with this format.What I am trying to accomplish is this.When another button is pressed, I want the movieclip (regardless of which one is loaded) to either:Go to a specific frame and play a closing animation within the movieclip, BEFORE a new movieclip is loaded. OR reverse the animation BEFORE loading new movieclip.Since there are 4 or 5 buttons all loading different clips, I need all the buttons to work this way regardless of which movieclip is loaded.

In AS2 I would normally create an empty MovieClip, give it an instance name and then in the actions I would make the linkage with emptyMC_mc.loadMovieClip("intro.flv");
In AS3 I'm breaking out to figure this out..., I'm making a game and I want the first frame to load an external FLV, then when the FLV is over, go to frame 2 and load another external FLV and then when this second FLV is over, go to frame number 3..

I'm trying to load an existing webpage using the loadMovie command into an empty movieclip.
I thought this would be easy, but I can't seem to get the code to work and have tried several variations of the code below....
//catrun_mc=the empty movieclip//
catrun_mc.loadMovie.getURL("http://www.website.html");

how to load external SWFs into an empty movieclip, and then having them unload when another is selected. At the moment, all I can do is load the swf onto the stage with no positioning, and clicking the other button just loads the next swf on top.
Actionscript Code:
stop();standard_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onLoadClick);function onLoadClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[code].....

I'm trying to make an empty movieclip (content) that loads an external swf move above some other movieclips after is is fully loaded, and another movieclip (stage_mc) hits frame 25. It needs to load behind and the stage_mc, then move above it when stage_mc hits frame25. I tried this code on the main timeline, and the main timeline is one frame.
[Code]...
and it's not working. I've also tried it without the this.onEnterFrame, and another variation on the content mc.None of these things are working.

i just recently started programming in flash and so far I have learned a lot, but new questions keep coming up
My problem is that I want to load an external swf in an empty movieclip and then manipulate this loaded swf from my main movie. For example tell it to go to a certain frame. Is such a thing possible?

I have a Movieclip on the Timeline with my all buttons in it called 'Controls'.I want these buttons to control a Movieclip which is in Movieclip in a Movieclip in a Movieclip in a Movieclip.[code]I want to control the Movieclip Hole (The Movieclip's instance name is Hole_View)Movie within that instance is called Hole_Mov.Everything has an instance as per properties panel and labeled correctly, but I'm getting a "1120:Access of undefined property" or "You're a Douche" error on my buttons and the movie itself.Also, is it best practice to load external swfs into a movieclip? - does this help Flash automatically unload the retired movie when another external swf has been called.[code]

I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?
What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?

I'm making a new as3 file, and there I made an animation, like an intro for my website, in a movie clip. But what I want is, when this animation or this movie clip ends, automatically it charges another swf with my website, without having to press any button. I read some tutorials on internet that I can make this, creating a new empty movie clip, and then writing some code, but it didn't work me.

I'm filling arrays from a XML. These arrays have dynamic textFields inside them, and these textFields are childs of a movieclip.
I tween this movieclip, therefore making the array of textFields animate on the stage one by one. There are two sources of XML, one from an actual site, and another from a XML stored in the hdd. First i fill the arrays of textFields, and then animate the movieclip. I do this for the first one, then animate it, do it again for the 2nd one, animate it, again for the 1st one, animate it, so on so on.
myTween = new Tween(mc,"x",None.easeNone,sizeOfStage,0 - mc.width,mcSpeedAuto,true);
my tween ends at 0 - mc.width, the problem is, if i tween first the
"bigger" XML, when the next one which is smaller gets tweened, there's loads of empty space before it tweens the big one again (tweening whitespace?).
myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onFinish);
onFinish i clear all the arrays (otherwise the tweening of the 2nd one would still have information of the 1st one e.g: 1st has 25 fields, second has 10, 1st shows it's 25 fields, 2nd shows 10, and the 15 that were left from from the 1st one) and call the tween on the 2nd one. I thought that by doing this i'd be clearing all that white space too, apparently not. I think the mc.width just keeps the "bigger" value and always tweens with that, taking longer to end in the 2nd case. I've tried setting the mc.width as the sum of textfield width's everytime i fill the arrays, but this hasn't worked either

I have created an empty movieclip to which I've attached two mc's. Now I want to duplicate this movieclip. But all it seems to be doing is copying the empty mc without its attached mc's.
ActionScript Code:
var samen = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("samen"+samenNum, ++samenNum);
samen.attachMovie("vierkantbiblio","erin", depth, {_xscale: xscale, _yscale: yscale, _x: 0, _y: 0, _rotation: rot} );
samen.attachMovie("cirkelbiblio","erin2", depth2, {_xscale: xscale2, _yscale: yscale2, _x: xpos2-xpos, _y: ypos2-ypos} );
copy = samen.duplicateMovieClip("samen"+copyNum, ++copyNum);

I am using some code I found through a web search to play a YouTube video inside an empty MC:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 12);
this.video_mc.loadMovie("[URL]");
video_mc._x=50;
video_mc._y=280;
Problem is, I can't seem to get it to stop playing. I can have tried:
video_mc.removeMovieClip();
And it removes the video on the screen but the audio from it keeps playing and won't stop. Check it out here: [URL]
Click on VIDEO, start the video playing and then click on one of the other menu options and you will see what is happening.
