I am developing a photo gallery using an XML file as the structure. As the document class I have a class called PhotoGallery:-

Once the parsing is finished here I want to call a function back in the PhotoGallery class to start setting up the PhotoGallery. Is this possible, or am I even going about this in the right way? I am not sure I am using classes in the correct
I'm working on an flash movie and the interface is a small town (simiar to "doritos.com" and "comcasttown.com") if you reference both the doritos and comcast sites their little movie runs smoothly. I have several elements in the town. For example, one of the elements is an airplane hangar. When you rollover the hanger, I created a movie, the doors open and an airplane flies out of the hangar. I have several little movies throughout the interactive such as this. I created the hangar animation as a seperate swf file. In my main movie I created a button, on rollover it loads the hangar swf into an empty movieclip. When I publish and view the swf it plays slow and choppy. First, is it possible to write actionscript to load the external swf ,but it stops on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover it continues to play.To put it all in a nutshell, I want to create several buttons throughout the movie with loadmovie functions, once the swf movies are loaded I want them to stop on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover loaded swf movie I want it to continue to play the animation. Should actionscript be applied to the swf movies first and preloaded into the main movie. And what will make the movies run smoothly once it's published and viewed in a browser.Also if this makes a difference, I created the animations in after effects, exported them as FLVs imported them into flash and exported them as swf. Again it runs really slow and choppy
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash CS3. I have a dynamic text box that scrolls text loaded from an external txt file (made in Notepad).
I was wondering if there is a way that I could better control the style (color, font size, bold, paragraph breaks, etc) of the text?? I know that in flash I can specify the font type, size and alignment. But I want to also make some parts of the text BOLD and DIFFERENT COLORS. Perhaps I can use html tags within Notepad to do this?? If so, HOW??...beacuse I have tryed and it didn't work....the tags just showed up in the flash file along with the text, it didn't read them as html (and yes, I set my dynamic text box to render html).[code]...

I'm using the MovieClipLoader class to bring an external .swf into my "main nav" .swf, and I would like to allow the user to pause and resume playback of the external .swf.
How might I accomplish this?
here's what I have so far:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var oListener:Object = new Object();

I am trying to load multiple swfs (one at a time) using one loader and pause/play the loaded swfs using a button. I have gotten the swfs to pause/play, but all except for one will delete itself upon resuming. I made the loaded swfs in Captivate. Each Captivate swf is made up of multiple Flash swfs, each on its own slide. When the swfs delete, they only delete the currently playing slide's swf and then the next slide's swf will appear and play when the timeline advances to it (but will also delete if paused/resumed), but the playbar will show that the swf has been successfully paused and restarted and will continue along with no swf showing.
Here is a short version of my code (becuase the original has 8 swfs to choose from):
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}//HERE STARTS THE ATTACHMENT BUTTONS REFERENCING FROM THE mainMC

I have a set of SWFs loaded, and have successfully added them to the stage, and can assign basic methods ( gotoAndPlay(), stop() etc..) based on MouseEvents. I can't quite figure out, however, how to assign methods based on frame number or label, triggered by labels on the currently playing SWF timeline. So, for example: externally loaded swf starts playing, and a listener is set up to listen for a "stop" label, which would activate stop();I can obviously just drop a stop(); in the timeline of the loaded swf, but I am really trying to banish all code from timelines, period.
I could set up a frame-based listener to decide if a label exists at the current frame, and then to evaluate if that frame label == "stop"... but that seems pretty messy, and because it has to run at every frame, CPU heavy...So - the question is really about listeners, I guess. What event would I listen for? Something like a MouseEvent - but ... a LabelEvent instead Obviously - this doesn't exist, but something like it would be perfect. tions scattered here and there isn't that big of a deal

I have my main movie that has a container movieclip called vulture_container_mc. That container MC loads "vulture_mc.swf" into it. There is a button on the main movie that loads that swf into the container MC. I did the if statement in the beginning so the person couldn't keep reloading the animation when you click on the button over and over. It works so they can't do that, but now they can only press the button once, after that one time the button doesn't work.
Here is the main movie I'm talking about:

The vulture animation when you click the email button is the external swf file. I would like to make it where they can't keep reloading the animation (which works with the if statement, but I also need it so you can press the email button again after the animation is done to cause the vulture animation and email link to work again.

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){

I am new in as3, I am trying to build a photo gallery , can anyone tell me what it the best approach to make a photo gallery with three different categories let say:
1-cats
2-dogs
3-human
should I do it with different frame lables for each ? should I do it with different external swf file for each? or should I make different movieclips and keep them in the library and then call them?
I am teaching my slef and I am pretty confused, by the way I just realized that controlling external swf files is kinda hard you can't easily tell them gotoandplay , I ma struggling with it for 3 days, but yet I am not sure it's the best way?
Not sure how it works, but the kind of gallery I'm looking to put together is similar to the one found in the portfolio on this site:Im not sure but I understand that while the thumbnail loads it's also loading its cooresponding image into the gallery as well. Just curious how they are creating that loader, where you see the picture while it's loading.
