This is probably really easy to do but I an new at Flash and have no idead of how to do it.
I have a few buttons and when you click on a button it loads a different movie file. Is there a way that I can get one movie file to load after another automatically instead of having to press the buttons.
I have a an swf (A) that loads external swf files (B). I use the loader or UILoader classes for this. I do not have the source of the loaded flash files, I have source only for files A. The loading works fine. The problem is some of the loaded files resize or rescale themselves. Doing some research I realized that they use the Stage.width/height for calculating their size/scale. This approach works fine, when they are embed to a website, because they get a stage sized for their needs. But when these files are loaded in my MovieClip, they get the stage of the loader swf(A), and that is definitely have different sizes.
Approach 1: In this approach I tried to create a fake stage for the loaded movies with the right size for them. This failed at several points: Stage is a singleton, and the stage property of the objects are Read-Only. On top of that Stage is a built-in class, without AS source. My first question is that is there any possibilities to override this class, or use this approach?
Approach 2: I planned to design a web-service (not in actionscript), that predownloads the swf, decompile it, replaces the references to Stage.width/height to the correct values, compile it again, and passes the generated swf to my Loader. On decompilation/recompilation, it should be as fast as possible, and I'd like to modify the swf as little as possible, so I prefer to not decompile the swf completly, just as much as needed.
After some googling I found swix kit, or simply swix. It generates not the source but an xml file equivalent to the swf. The problem is this xml format is not documented, or at least I haven't found it. I found references for Stage, but I have no idea how to modify that file.
Code:
<ConstantPool>
<Constant Name="Stage" />
<Constant Name="width" />
<Constant Name="height" />
<ConstantPool>
How to replace the Stage.width/height values with a simple Number in the xml? Does this tool have a command-line interface?
I create a .swf file and wanted it to load/open automatically as a full screen. I tried the following code but it only works with projector or .exe files. Curently user has to press F11 to open or close as a full screen. Here is my code:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.
This is what I've tried so far:
var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);
Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.
I created a button with some roll over effects added some load movie action to load external movie.swf file, everything works perfect except I need about 12 same buttons but with different loadMovie command I mean to load different swf files. so what I did to make it fast I copied the first button and pasted it 12 times so I made 12 nice buttons, but the problem I have is that when I change button 2 load movie settings it automatically changes every button, so I am a little frustrated,

View 1 Repliesi want to load variable from text file to my main movie (swf file).what should i put in the second parameter of the function loadVariables ("target" parameter) - should i insert _this? _parent? _global? (nothing works.
View 3 Replies[code]this is what i use for a button in my flash compotistion. It basicly tells the movie to load different .swf file in. But thats just FYI.Now i need to design a MC where I want to place this AS on the last keyframe. Just as if I would place a GOTO action on the last frame that will lead me to a different stage. How can I rewrite this script so it will do the same effect.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a presentation in flash. I would like to show some of my previous work in flash (.swf-files). The presentation is fullscreen and i publish it as an .exe file. In the presentation there are several links. When you click on one of those, a own made pop-up opens. In this pop-up I would like to show the animation (.swf file) But.....I found out that some of the .swf files don't work when you import them into flash....So instead I used the load movie command. (I'm not very good in actionscript). The swf file opens, but not IN the pop-up. How do I do that? My pop-up now disappears and my swf starts to play.

View 8 RepliesI am trying to load a movie into flash using an asp file to get the names of the url. the start will be "WEB_ADDRESS" and then it will add a the end using script.
Code:
loadMovie("WEB_ADDRESS" + _root.myVars.fileName + [i], "image"+ [i])
it is looking into the ASP file and trying to fine fileName which is the problem. the filename has a number after it, in this case it is the variable [i] but it is returning this
Code:
Error opening URL
'BLAH_BLAH_BLAHfileName=undefined0'
the Blah is the start of the address which you dont need to know about but the undefined with the number after it should be what it is loading. undefined0 should be "fileName0".
is there any way of making it think the _root.myVars.fileName + [i] is all one name?

View 1 RepliesI am rearranging a flash by adding more picture. By default it was 8 pictures but I want to add unlimited number of pictures on XML file and want to load them in Flash. The XML file is parsed into an array (code provded below). I can not figure out the problem as the flash shows only the default 8
pictures, not showing the additional pictures that i have added. I was hoping someone here can help me in taking the parsed XML file and help me load the image

picture showing state. I mean all the carousel-menu links will be linked to image showing stage.[code]...

I load external swf file into main movie. and i give that child a name page0 there is a bit of code.
[Code]....
so after its loaded i want to insert some text into external swf using main movie. i managed to remove external swf, like this ActionScript Code: holder_mc0.removeChild(holder_mc0.getChildByName("pages0")); but i wonder how to insert text into that swf. i don't understand how hierarchy works, when you addChild, what name should i use for my external files. for example ActionScript Code: holder_mc0. ?????? .mainTemplate.tContent.text = "TEXT"
this is what i'm using to load a swf file into a movie clip on stage. (mainAnimationHolder)
[Code]...
this works perfectly. Now what i want to do is, UNLOAD/DELETE the swf file from mainAnimationHolder. The function runs on _root
The title of my main file is "Gabriel96.fla". Inside this file I have a movie clip called "home movie". Inside this movie clip i have a button called "Symbol 32". Once this button gets clicked, I'd like it to go to frame "joe" which is inside a movie clip called "porrtfolio", which inside a separate file called "portfolio55.swf".
