im using this function to load my movies
[Code]...
i then place them into a grid (i load them into a created movie clip called thumbnail) and they are supposed to trace their name (or anything) when rolled over, but i cant put a working rollover on them, nothing happens with perfectly fine code. how to get loaded movie clips to work with button functions?
I have a movie that loads multiple swf's... Some of these have buttons inside of movie clips, they don't work when the swf is loaded
View 1 RepliesI am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.
Here's the code:
Code: Select allstop();
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RO_DontDrive);
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, ROut_DontDrive);

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
is there a way that i can call a function on the main timline from within a movieclip?

And I have a mc on the stage that have a code inside to attach a scroll from the library. This scroll load a mc called "Rotuladores1", and inside this mc I have my button "r1".[code]...
How would I go about making my own functions for objects and movie clips?
Like:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this.setpos(10, 20);
}

I want to define functions to move a movie clip around the stage, my code works when i define it STRAIGHT to the movie, but when i define it as functions it doesn't.
my code put straight on the movie is:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._x = 0
this._y = 0

I have a menu consisted of horizontal strips that turn visible on roll over. One of them has a submenu over it. The thing is that when I roll over a sub item that has an action on it, the roll over function of the stip doesn't work and it disappears. If I put the strip over the submenu, it works well, but the submenu doesn't.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

im having an issue with a cursor i made following this tutorial...http:[url]........the cursor works fine with a regular button however i have buttons inside movieclips, i tried it but it isnt working, i keep getting an error in the output...
Error: A 'with' action failed because the specified object did not exist.
I add below codes to my movie clips in (15 new.fla) but don't work. I used same codes to (Invisible Test.fla) and everything ok? I want all mc invisible after moving.

I've created a button and placed it inside a movie clip. I've added the below script (as2) on the button however when I Test Movie, the button does not work.
[Code]...
This is just plain weird to me.This is part of a loop that creates text fields. The movie clip is of course named numholder_mc.
Code:
numholder_mc.createTextField("textfield"+i,i,200,0,100,20);
If I create an empty movie clip "manually" on the stage and instance name it numholder_mc, then this code does not work.
However, if create an empty movie clip using actionscript, it works just fine!
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("numholder_mc",100);
Anyone have any ideas on this one? Its just weird.
I have a menu which attach movie clips from the library, when I first probed the preloader there were not any linked movie clips, neither png files (because each button in the menu attach a picture which is inside the movie clip) now that I have put the movie clips in the library the preloader doesn't work and I don't know why.
View 4 Repliesit works fine when i apply it on Button Symbols. But when i apply it on Movie clips symbols that i use as button, it failed to work as i expected.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "section1";[code]....
Should i change some thing to make it work on Movie clips symbol??
I wrote some actionscript that would load in different values from an xml file in order to play certain movie clips at certain times from a specified swf file. It actually works for the most part. I think the problem happens when I select a movie clip that was already previously selected. It actually won't load it at that point. I will post actionscript in the morning, but I feel like this should be a rather common issue, and I just don't know some general piece of info. I use an actionlistener to load the swf. I create an associative array that works as follows [action] => movieclip Then on an action it will make a movie clip object = loader.content.getChildByName(theActions[action]);
View 4 RepliesI have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.
My current code is as follows:
All of the following code is in my main.swf
================================
//Location where the external SWFs will load
var Xpos:Number=18;
var Ypos:Number=10;
[Code]...
External swf has no code except for a stop action.
I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.
Greetings. I've been doing this tutorial. [URL] And worked pretty well. In order to adapt to my needs i made it a movie with a drag and drop parameter to be loaded in another movie (with loadMovie or loadMovieNum). The problem is than the movie loads, drags but doesnt drops. Even i tried with the example movie and nothing happens.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip where I store a value in a variable called "yourname" and then load a different .swf file in level 1. I display the value of "yourname" in a dynamic text box, that works fine. I then move on to a frame where the user has an input text box and can re-enter a value for the "yourname" variable, and then clicks a button symbol to reassign the value. Bear in mind, "yourname" was not originally stored on this level and this movie clip, it is stored on level 0 on the first (main) movie clip. Here is my code in the button:
on (release) {
_level0.yourname = String (inpt_newName.text);
}
inpt_newName is the input text box. My intent here is to have a "main" timeline where variables are stored, and then load and unload various .swf movie clips as needed, storing and variables (i.e. decisions) that the user makes.
Ok, I'm using actionscript 2.0, and I am trying to make a scrolling image gallery. I have a movie clip with three layers. the first contains a movie clip used as a scroll bar. The second is a mask used to hide the overflow content, and the third contains movie clip thumbnails. when I click one of the thumbnails, it loads a symbol containing a larger version of the picture over top of the thumbnails on the same layer. My problem is, the large image is added at the very top of the movie clip, even when it is scrolled out of sight. I want it to appear in sight, so the user doesn't have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see it. This is annoying and confusing. Is there a way to do this?
Here is the code I used to create the scroll effect (there is actually a whole lot more to the code but it is very long, so I am not adding it now. I will if it is needed though)(Oh, and there is no text involved in this. I just got this code off a tutorial and I haven't changed the variable names yet)
var scrollUpper:Number = 58; var scrollLower:Number = 309;
var textLower:Number = 60; var textUpper:Number = -179;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper; var textRange:Number = textLower

I try to code an as3 where I need to duplicate a mc casted from objects, which are loaded from an XML file. My goal is to make a wrap around effects for animated menu icons that use separate swf files.this is the function I try to create, but my concern is in the else statement:
Code:
private function onItemLoaded(e:Event):void
{
loadedItems++;
var contentitem:MovieClip = MovieClip(loader.content);
[code]....
in the copyFirst/Last declaration I try to dupe refFirst and refLast... but It seems not to be the good way (error).
So I am loading an SWF like this:
ActionScript Code:
public function layoutLoad(e:Event):void
{
FlashConnect.trace("Display.loadLayout()");
[Code].....
It will compile but I get a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." So I am not targeting right. I did double check my instance name is correct and in the root of the loaded SWF
On some sites i have seen usually portfolio or gallery type sites there are thumbnails, text or some shape that you click on to view a particular image. What I'm getting at is some of the sties show visually that the clip has been loaded with change of alpha (images that are not loaded greyed out and ones that have already been loaded are in colour etc..). An example of what i'm talking about is on [URL] When you click on the menu (selection uno), it loads a particular clip, and throughout the session on the site, u can tell which ones have been loaded and have not. I know there are probably many down and dirty ways of achieving this, but i know there is usually 1 or 2 'proper' methods for doing a particular thing.

Im creating a booklet with turning pages, like the one previously posted, so all the content is loaded dynamically.On the right hand page i have text, of which some lines are interactive.On the left page, i have a hidden text box. When the user clicks on a certain line on the right page, the text box on the left page becomes visible, and the relevant txt is loaded into the text box.Now, i can make the text box on the left page invisible by placing _visible = 0; directly into the actionscript pane of the text box.What i cant do is make it visible by clicking on the right page text. Where should i put the code to make the text box visible?Is it as simple as movieClip._visible = 1; ?
View 10 RepliesI'm having some weirdness with a project that I'm doing in IE. Long story short, I've got a basic shell that loads in external SWFs based on user feedback. Once those SWFs get loaded in, they execute functions from the shell (_root) movie. It works great in Firefox, but immediately breaks (no way) in IE. The movie gets loaded in, but none of the functions run.
I suspect it has something to do with security, because, for a variety of reasons, I have to load the SWFs from their absolute location, rather than their relative location. When I test it locally (but loading the movies from their absolute, live location), everything still works, but I get that damn security warning that reads like this:

I'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.
I have approximately five external movies I am loading into one main movie. I load the movies using various buttons in the main movie.
My issue is this...I press a button and the first movie loads and then runs to the end of the timeline. Works great.When a push a second button the second movie loads and runs to the end of the timeline. Works great also.but I hate how there is a blank space between the movies.
All the movies start with a white stage and end with full graphics. When I press a second button, the movie on the stage disappears immediately and I am left with a white stage for a few seconds while the loading movie animates onto the stage.
I want there to be a cross-fade or some effect that allows the loaded movie to remain on the stage while the second movie is loading. Is there a way to make this happen?
I'm including the code I have for loading movies so you can see what I am working with thus far.
Here is the code:
designingbutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie ("Quest Wall Animation.swf", "_root.content");
}
specifyingbutton.onPress=function(){

I'm still a noob with flash. But I'm attempting to make my website using itSo far I haveseveral swf files that are all loaded into a "index" swf file.So all the code needs to work with that chain of MC's:_root.LoadedContent_mc.LoadedContent2_mc.Page1_mcThats the path to where I am working..Page1:I'm attempting to create a downloads list here. I have a phpfile already worked out that scans the directories "downloads" and "imgs", and generates a list of file names. It then formats each file name into a path to that file. And turns each path into a variable that can be loaded into flash.So basically after php does its thing we are left with this:
Code:
File1=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile.rar&File2=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile1.rar&File3=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile10.rar&File4=Pages/PageDat
