problem was that when I added a Dynamic text box with a UIScrollBar, my images wouldn't load into my empty movie clip (there's a progressBar too).I hadn't named the UIScrollBar. It still scrolled the text as it should, but apparently since it wasn't named it was fooking with my other components and thereby with my image loaders.

View 5 Repliesload a .swf into an empty movie clip. I've given the empty movie clip an instance name of "myContainer". This is the code i've got now on a button (which doesn't have an instance name), which doesn't work:
on (press) { myContainer.loadMovie("BVLibrary_Branding.swf");
}
What I'd like to do is have a checkbox, that when it is checked it loads a movie into an empty movie clip, and when it is unchecked, it loads a different movie into the empty movie clip.Also if possible I'd like to find a way to output to a variable whether the same checkbox is checked or not. And send the info from the variable in an email.
View 11 Repliestrouble getting a movie to load in an empty movie clip. I am hoping I'm missing something simple.I have a button with the instance name SPS_btn on a layer I've called buttons.Below the button layer i've got a layer called movie clips that contains an emptymovie clip called mainStage_mc.I want to load a .swf into into mainStage_mc. both the buttons and their actions occur on the first frame.I have used this code but it not working.
on (release) {loadMovie (new002.swf, mainStage_mc);
I just get a blue area but the movie does not load. I can run the movie fun locally by clicking on new002.swf file.i also tried the behaviors panel, which produces this code but it also doesn't work:
on (release) {loadMovie ("new002.swf",mainStage_mc);
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.mainStage_mc == Number(this.mainStage_mc)){[code]........
for some reason it will load if i use loadMovieNum () but the registration point is in the top right corner and i don't want that.What's the best way to debug this?When i use test movie the output window dosen't show an error but something's wrong.how can I test if is a path problem? A problem with the loaded movie or a problem with something else? the movie new002.swf is 393KB. I tired making a smaller 2kbmovie using the code above and it wouldn't load either.

I've loaded an external .swf into a movieclip in my parent .swf using the loadMovie(); function. The file loads perfectly and in the right position, however I can no longer access the functions of the external .swf. When I load the file into a level rather than a movieclip, the functions (buttons and timeline) of the external .swf work properly. Is there any way to use the functions of the external .swf when I load it into an empty movie clip?
View 7 Replies#1 How do I format the data in my listbox and combo box so it only show the "string" data and not the tags and random commas as well? (The combo box has unnecessary commas and the listbox shows tag data from XML) I'm not sure if it's in my XML or the way I'm using the XML connector.
#2 I got the XML data to the combo box and the selection from the combo to the list box. How would I get the users selection from the listbox to load a .swf into the loader component? Again, I'm not 100% of how well I did my XML and I have no idea how to use the XML connector in that way.

I have a problem with buttons and transitions.I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following code:
on (release) {
if (_root.externaltwo._currentframe == 7) {
_root.externaltwo.gotoAndPlay(8);[code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "externalone";[code].....
Obviously a similar code would be placed on button two so the transitions could take place.I am uploading my file so you can see exactly what I am talking about. Also in this file will be a folder containg a version that works but without the buttons moving up and down which is the effect I wish to have
I have a button when I click on it it is suppose to load an external swf into a empty movie clip. But everytime I clicked it, it juz loops the whole flash animation of this very whole flash the button is currently in which it should actually load the external swf to the empty MC. I can't attack my file here since it is too big.

I went through Claudio's preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([URL]). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can't get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called "content". And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names!
View 7 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
into the movie clip. Also I want to redirect all the Rotate Picture (3d-carousel-menu) links to the Flash
picture showing state. I mean all the carousel-menu links will be linked to image showing stage.[code]...

View 5 RepliesI want to build a nested movie clip which has 5-6 .jpg files which I want to load externally and then dissolve them at the transition time. So eventually I would also be having a timer to start the playback. I do not know how to get it going...... Just want the images to load through a loader, dissolve between them, timer to start the playback and at the end the movie goes back to the main time line. Just let me know where is the starting point for me and how do I address this issue.
View 5 RepliesI have 5 different MovieClips in the library, and a main movieclip on stage.
I must load the MCS from the library randonly on the main MC from time to time. How can I do it?
I'm trying to dynamically load multiple images to a Movie Clip on the stage. Where I am having trouble, is when I position different sized images one under another.
What I have done is, assign a variable for the position for the _y of the next image. eg. var spacing:Number = 0;
Since I'm loading the images from a XML file, I've included the height for each image aswell. This is where I am having trouble
eg. spacing += myxml.childNodes[i].childNodes; OR
spacing = spacing + myxml.childNodes[i].childNodes;
trace(spacing);
Say for example, the image I am loading is 400px high, 'spacing' then appears to be 0400 and not 400. After I load the second image, which is 500px high, spacing appears to be 0400500 and not 900.
(Whoops - ALMOST solved - one last issue below!) I've got two buttons, one shared movie clip. The two buttons each load two different movies. All I want to do is TOTALLY CLEAR OUT whatever movie is loaded from one button whenever I press the other to load its cargo into the movie clip.
This seems like it should be so easy to do, but there's always a remnant of the first movie left in this.How do I empty the whole thing while still keeping the shared movie clip (which the two buttons/movies share) in place?

At the _root I have an instance using an empty clip named mainPageEmptyClip. Inside of that, are various other movies.
Now, at the _root there is a menu which, when clicked, should access one of the layers within the empty clip's content.
The problem here is that I can't discern what the target would be to actually access the clip. The action worked fine before I implemented the empty clip, but now it won't work any longer.
I've tried using the target tool built into FlashMX, but it doesn't list any of the instances withing mainPageEmptyClip - that's as far as it goes. I've tried entering in what would seem to be the path, based on the instance names of subordinate movies, but it does me no good - I'm continually given the error of Target Not Found.
These are the two options I've tried....
_root.mainPageEmptyClip.gotoAndPlay(351);
_root.mainPageEmptyClip.webLayer.gotoAndPlay(156);
I created an empty movieclip with[code]...
Where in the script can I add the x and y properties for that empty movieclip?
I'm trying to load images into a row of images. Each image is a different width. Heres the code so far:
Code:
var xPos:Number = 0;
for (y=0; y<5; y++) {
var container:MovieClip = this.holder.createEmptyMovieClip("picholder"+y,y);
container.loadMovie("mypic.jpg");
container._x = xPos;
xPos += container._width;
}
The problem at the moment is that the container._width property is reading 0 so all the images are loading on top of each other. This is the same with "picholder"+y. If I set the xPos value to say 100 then it works fine. I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that the loadMovie happens after the var container is defined. Whats a way around this?
Also just while I'm posting whats the correct syntax for something like this:container.loadMovie("mypic" + (y) +".jpg");
