ActionScript 2.0 :: External Mc's Loaded Sequentially?
Jun 4, 2007
I have a 3 frame movie clip called "morePix" shaped like a forward arrow. The morePix.onRelease() function loads an external movie using MovieClipLoader(). When the movie loads a back arrow comes up. Eventually I will have about 5 external movies loading into this MovieClipLoader() and I will want the forward and back arrows up until I get to the last movie. I'm trying to figure out how to create a loop or an array to load these movies. I hope that makes sense. It seems easy but I'm stuck. Here's the code I have so far...
morePix.onRollOver = function (){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
[code]....
The sequential movie clips will be pics3, pics4, etc. this is in Flash MX 2004

how to sequentially play external SWFs loaded into the main timeline?
I have several SWF files with short videos embedded in them. I wish to load these external SWF files into my main timeline as follows:
User Presses Button -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#1 -> Once Video Clip in External SWF#1 has Finished -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#2.
I tried achieving this by adding: var endmovie:Boolean = true; to the end of each video clip inside the external SWFs (e.g. 1.swf) then cycling through an if statement in the main timeline to see when this condition was meet:
ActionScript In Main Timeline:
Code:
var mc_Loader = new MovieClipLoader();
mc_Loader.addListener(this);
[Code].....
How is the best way to go about achieving this? Am I on the right track? (By the way, using .FLV or one long external SWF file is not really an option due to long loading times...

I'm working on a client's website. I use loaders to load various images and then I add them sequentially to the display list. These images include a big (BIG, ie, 6000x1500 , 220kb image) background image.. All of the images being loaded are PNG.. The site is fine and the images are fine/show up on a majority of browsers. However, after trying to view the flash file (at a .swf extension -- not embedded into html yet) on IE6 and on Chrome on only ONE of my laptops, the background .png does not appear and does not seem to have be loaded at all.
I haven't assigned loader listeners (i.e, there is no preloading).. Does the loader class have some sort of size restriction? I think not because it is working on some browsers and not on others. Otherwise, how could the actual PNG be at fault? I've temporarily fixed the problem by importing the background into my library and calling it from the actionscript but I would definitely prefer to load it dynamically or at least know why it is not happening as expected on some browsers/in some cases.

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I want to create about ten twenty second movies and then have them play sequentially.
The movies are only slightly different from each other.I don't want to make a movie that is two minutes long though. I want the movies to play in a different order on each page.

im trying to figure out a way to make a button play two movie clips one after the other in AS 2.0. I have bunch of buttons that i want to play the same MC followed by a specific MC for each button so i cant add another goto at the end of the middle clip. theres probably an easy solution to this but I only know so much about AS.

I'm trying to go from an flv. that starts automatically 1st thing directly to a .swf file, with no user interaction. They are both inside a mc 'container' on the stage. I can get them both on the stage, but at more or less the same time, not sequentially. I tried using an addEventListener(VideoEvent.Complete) with the .flv, but the .swf starts up after the .flv is loaded, not after it finishes playing.
Am I supposed to use some sort of 'loader' strategy or is there a way to 'listen' to when a .flv finishes playing and then the .swf will come up automatically?

I have three flv files that I need to play sequentially, one right after the other in the same location (box) in an html document. I have segmented the video because of it's size. Does any one know how I would make this happen or where I can find some sort of tutorial that can assist me with this? I also have another project in which I have 4 animations that I want to play in sequence but they are in different locations on the web page.

I've got an array of 10 frogs, and only one jumps. I want them all to jump together or sequentially. Anything is better than one frog jumping. How do I get all the frogs in my array to jump?
What I want. Selectable frogs I can control
//Creates 10 frogs
var enemyArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var noname:FrogClass = new FrogClass();
I want to play with arrays and the displayList. Scattering the frogs or using other motions would be interesting.

I'm trying to find a way to play a sound sequentially. In other words, I want to play a sound file from a certain point to a certain amount of time (NOT to the end). So to play a portion of that file.Now, I know I have to use mySound.start(secondOffset), but how can I stop it? Sound.onSoundComplete is not useful, as I want to stop the sound at a certain time from playing, which might not be the end.I guess that the approach is to use the Sound.position property, and to stop the sound when the position meets criteria.I've tried so far all kinds of approaches, like making a loop while the sound plays and checking the Time, but nothing seems to work.

I'm working on a little navigation here where several icons will fly up to a certain height and then hover around, kinda like a flying insect might. Most of my actionscripting experience has been pretty basic so far, and i'm having a little trouble getting this thing to do exactly what i want.
these are things that i would like to happen: -- the icons fly up sequentially, instead of all at once -- the icons fly up to a less uniform height (more variance on the Y axis)these are things that really need to be fixed, but i can't figure out how: if you rollover the icons too fast, they go to a negative scale(which flips them over)also, i'm sure this code isn't the most efficient, and there are a few onEnterFrames that i could probably get rid of, but when i tried deleting any, it would break the code.

I have a movieclip tweened of a lightbulb bright then fading. 50 or so instances are placed within another movieclip and given instance names of bulb0 to bulb50. I have a stop action on the first frame of this movieclip.
Other animation within the main movieclip is activated on rollover and I have used actionscript to place this main movieclip on the stage and to control the other animation within it.
Within my external as. I have an array as follows:
var bulbclips:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint; i < 58; i++) {
bulbclips.push("winNav.bulb"+i);

I am building a flash header for my website. I want to have two parts. The first part is about a 10 second intro. The second part though will be a looping slideshow (It's photography site). Basically two different movie clips.Can someone give me a little help getting started? I think I can use AS (3.0) to loop the second movie but I need a way to recognize the end of a movie.

I'm trying to load some swf movies using loadMovie, but I'm having the following problem: There are three movies: 1.swf, 2.swf, and, 3.swf.
=> 1.swf loads inside 2.swf
=> 2.swf loads inside 3.swf
When I test 3.swf, it plays only 1.swf (exactingly where I put it in 2.swf - coordinates) but doesn't play 2.swf. Everything looks correct, including the containers. All actionscript is in the frames and I'm using Flash MX.

I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;
