ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Swf's To Load Using GetNextHighestDepth
Aug 15, 2008
I have a flash movie with some buttons that load swf's into the movie. Here is the code I have attached to the buttons:
on(press){
var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("weddingClip", this.getNextHighestDepth());
weddingClip.loadMovie("wedding.swf");
}
This actually works fine the first time. The problem is that if I press button 1 and it loads the appropriate swf, then I press button 2 and it loads it's appropriate swf, if I decide to go back to 1, it won't come up because it is already loaded below #2. I would think it would come up in depth.
Here is the link to the site for demonstration purposes: [URL]

I made 4 windows (squares) and they each have a dragbar (moveiclip).Here is some code so you can drag them:
MC_windowQ.dragbarQ.onPress = function() {
startDrag(MC_windowQ);
MC_windowQ.getNextHighestDepth();
};
I also have code that stops it dragging. What I need answering though is how to make the window get the highest depth (so that it is on top of the other windows after pressing the dragbar. I tried using getNextHighestDepth() but it doesn't seem to be working.

it is possible to have a foreground when using getNextHighestDepth? The problem i have is that unless the foreground is the highest depth then anything else attached after that will appear over it rather than under.

i have 3 movie clips,all loaded external into the scene with action script
clip 1 is the background.
clip 2 is thumbnails of photos that pass through the screen from top to bottom.and the clip 3 is a png file that i want to put in front of all other movie clips.My problem is that i cant put the clip 2 between the background and the png file cause the clip 2 uses the "getNextHighestDepth" method because everytime the user clicks on a thumbnail a larger image appears in top of all other layers.

I have an mc (mcBreakOut1) that contains some links (simple buttons) that sits on the root. The mc gets next highest depth on release and plays to reveal the links. The problem is that none of the button actions in mcBreakOut1 seem to work. I don't know if this has something to do with the getNextHighestDepth() or because mcBreakOut1 has an onRelease=function():Void {} function associated to it that is not allowing any onRelease functions within the mc to work.

I'm creating a game with movie clips that are generated using getnexthighestdepth, and have a pause menu too. However, as the movie clips are generated after the pause menu, they appear above it, partially obscuring it. Is there a way to make the pause menu permanently on top?

I'm currently trying to create something akin to a simple 'page flip' effect for a site.The effect that I'm going for is basically a changing background, appearing by playing an MC (tweened movement of large rectangle that moves from off-screen to on-screen) that is, ideally, supposed to be executed by a button.
I currently have on the stage, four coloured buttons, with a corresponding MC off-stage that gets triggered by a button and slides on to take the place of the previous MC (background colours that slide in depending on which button you press). I also have a text box embedded in an MC which was basically just a test object that is supposed to stay on top of everything. The stack order should be [top]->[bottom], [text]->[buttons]->[background MCs]
The problem lies in the order of playing the MCs. A background colour rectangle MC should technically cover up whatever background MC is already there. However, when a new MC slides on, the one below it briefly changes to a seemingly random one. The MCs are currently not created dynamically, but I did ponder whether the problem could be solved by dynamically creating them using loadMovie and then removing it when the next one loads or something... I've made it work using swapDepths, but therein lies the problem I think, because swapDepths works by trading depths of MCs and, when giving the MC that you want to appear on top a certain depth, it takes that depth from an MC that already has it, thus causing THAT MC to adopt a new depth and the order seems to change completely... I considered using getNextHighestDepth(), but that obscures the text and, as I take it, getNextHighestDepth() gets THE highest possible depth (I think...), there doesn't seem to be any meaning in assigning a depth, no matter how high, to the text.
// MCs containing coloured buttons
// Plays each coloured button's associated coloured page MC and swaps the MCs'
// depth bringing it to the top of the stack

I have a problem with a preloader on a slideshow. The preloader works perfectly the first time the slideshow is loaded but if you move to another frame and then return the loader bar loads in the top left hand corner of the stage and does not function, it just duplicates every time you navigate back to the page.

I'm loading a background into a background container with the following code:
loadMovie("backgrounds/bkg_wht.swf",bgContainer);
I'd like it to load in a 4 second alpha fading load instead of just a hard load. Any ideas what code I need to write?

I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.

I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?

I'm using loadMovie() to load external swf's and then send the swf to a specific frame, depending on the button that is pressed.
Code:
on(release){
_root.mc_mainloader.loadMovie("Main.swf")
_root.mc_mainloader.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
}
Unfortunately it ignores the second line, which appears to be because the movie hasn't loaded by time it gets to the next line. As a work-around I made an interval to check for the movieclip width to be more than 0 and then run a function that chooses the desired frame, but this is very unreliable. Is there a simple way to load the clip and wait until it is finished, then immediately choose a frame on load?

Is there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??

So I have this flash app I'm making that uses a URL load to load a bunch of plot points from an address. When the loader finishes, it send the data to a plotter function. the plotter function clears the graphics in a shape called graphLine. It then draws a line from one plot point to another using the lineTo function. Basically every 3 seconds it makes this request and redraws the screen and updates the value of a textfield to the current y value. In flex builder 3, it works great in debug mode. The screen updates just fine. However, when I make the release build and test it out in a browser, it loads the data fine, but will not draw it until I stop the graphing process. Any thoughts on this one? Here's the code for the graphing function

I am pulling double duty with this question as it serves two purposes. I am developing a total flash controlled ad system for myself, but also need to use the same theory for a project for work.
Concept: I have a main movie (ad rotator system) that I then want to randomly load other swf's (individual ads) into this main swf after a set period of time. The random load I got set no problem. The problem I am having is to get it to move to the new Frame label of the main movie which then loads the smaller swfs. I am using the LoadMovie with nInterval time delay command in flash to load the movies.

I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

An IE issue has me completely stumped. I have a coldfusion page that uses JQuery's AJAX .load function to load in a new flash file that is generated by coldFusion's cfchart tag. This works completely fine in firefox: the new flash file and new html elements load. However in IE: all of the html elements that are geneated with the flash object are loaded, except the flash object and embed tags do not show up at all after running an ajax call in IE. After looking in Fiddler, the flash application type response data doesnt even show up for IE. It does however for Firefox.I thought maybe it has to do with any kind of media, so i changed the chart type to output as a jpg file instead of flash. And it loads completely fine in IE. So something is preventing IE from receiving the flash response data.Here's what i've done so far - and no luck so far:
Added to the HTML header: <META

I have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.

I'm currently working on a project that contains a lot of data, about 14.000 records. This means an xml file of about 3mb. Now my question is: Should I use the xml file to load all the data at once, or should I use a webservice, that provides the data when I need it? Keep in mind that I'm new to webservices. And if I'm going to use a webservice: How do I store the data, in a mySQL database?How fast is a webservice?

I have a little app that can read and write content that is stored in XML files. As those files get updated and re-loaded quite often I have made the experience that the browser tends to use the old/cached XML-data. Can I somehow flag the URLLoader that I use to load the XML to always load the actual file instead of looking for cached versions?

I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.

I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
This is the bare bones of it:
Code:
sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;
addChild(sceneHolder);
