is there a way to keep the content of a mc (attached content) when I duplicate it? I know that duplicate remembers size, position, rotation etc. But I want to get the attached content too.
// Example.
Container1_mc.attachMovie("star","obj_1",1);
Container1_mc.attachMovie("stripe","obj_2",2);

I created a project w/a dynamic html scroll box on one page/spot on timeline. I want to use the same scroll box, but have it call a different .htm file for different content at a different part of my timeline.My problem is the file naming. I tried to just copy the entire scroller project I made and append a "_2" to all the file names, so that they wouldn't interfere with my original scroller in my main project, but that didn't work out.Is there anyway to duplicate the original scroller within my project and just have it call a different file?

I'm working in Flash CS5 w/ActionScripting 3.0. I have a content box w/scroller that calls dynamic html on one page/part of my project's timeline.

I'm dynamically loading JPG file using Loader class. Everything works except if I want to tile the image few more times using addChild(loader.content) it just doesn't work. It always removes previous instance and leaves only the last one. I've tried everything but with no luck. Here's my code:
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(true);
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

View 5 RepliesI'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

How to remove a loader and its content using removeChild or any other way, I had removed the loader but its content still playing in the background i know that from the sound of the content.this is the my code for removing:
removeChild(getChildByName("SampleLoader"));
how it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.

I have a menu whee you can choose a picture to lead, works great with first selection, but when you choose a different picture it loads over the last picture,I want to substitute the content of that movie clip not to load all the pictures in the same space. I treid to use clear() and removeChild(), but this only works when I choose pic1 then remove that to load pic2, is there an easy way to substitute the content for the new content?

View 2 RepliesI'm developing a Flash application which is communicating with Javascript to allow more features such as custom html input etc., by placing an absolute positioned div on top of the flash application and controlling it's position etc. with Flash & Javascript.
Because these html elements have to appear above the flash content, I figured the following basic css would be enough to do the trick:
#flashContent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
[Code].....
So, the htmlContent has a higher z-index than the flash content and thus it should be shown above it. Unfortunately, this only seems to work when you set the Flash object's "wmode" parameter to "transparent".
The problem with this setting is that it's seriousely decreasing the application's framerate to an unacceptable amount.
For static content this does not seem to be a problem, however for my application there's all kinds of elements that you can drag around which have to be moved real-time (while moving the mouse).
So, how do I enable html content on top of flash content without using the "transparent" wmode parameter or how do I optimize framerate when using the "transparent" wmode parameter?
I have an xml doc which works beautifully....now I want to edit the "content" so that it display html content, ie....within the text of the "content" I could add bold tags or add a links or something like that....I have looked up and down and no thread I could find has a straight forward definitive answer...not just on here either...is it that difficult...i doubt it?I will have to set the properties of my text box to accept html...right?so something like this....
theText.html = true;
THis was my attemp...(the first part)...but no deal...

am a graphic artist trying to be a web designer and it's not working! I am constructing a website where I have a navigation menu nested within a movieclip. On each button click I want the current content to fade out and the new content to fade in. Content consists of new imagery and text. Now since I have these buttons nested within a MC I realize I'm unable to simply use simple gotoAndPlay because it will not be referencing the main timeline. Forgive my AS ignorance,

View 1 RepliesI'm revamping a website I'm working on to be accessible to those with disabilities. I'm using the Jaws screen reader to test.The Flash content is embedded in a ColdFusion page.The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to navigate to the Flash content on the page...
hitting the Tab button on the keyboard only tabs to the next link on the ColdFusion container page, never tabbing to any of the Flash buttons.If I click on the Flash content once, I can then tab between the Flash elements, but 508 standards require keyboard-only access, so clicking once isn't an option.Also, even though I've given each Flash button a name in the Accessibility panel, the screen reader is not reading the names. (Works fine in an all-Flash page, but not in the case of Flash being embedded in a ColdFusion page).
I was looking for the difference between the different content types in Flash CS3/CS4 - Browser/Screen Saver/Application etc - especially it's capabilities and limitations. Of interest are Standalone player and Application.

View 5 RepliesI've run into something I find very, very odd. Bordering on bug-level odd, even.I load a gif file with a Loader. No fuss there.I then attempt to instantiate two different bitmaps with the loaded content:
image = Bitmap(loader.content);
image2 = Bitmap(loader.content);
I then place them apart on the stage so I can see them both:
image.x = 50;
image2.x = 200;
Finally I add the bitmaps to the stage:
addChild(image);
addChild(image2);
But only one of them turns up - depending on the order in which I assign the x-values. The bitmap I assign to first, is the one that renders on the stage.I should have two distinct bitmaps after the first two lines.When I examine the values, it's as if there's only one object on the stage, yet debugging info suggests that there are in fact two objects, both referencing the same bit of memory for the image.
trace(image.x);trace(image2.x);trace(stage.numChildren);
These traces yield: 2002001
How do I force it to make an actual copy of the content, not just the memory reference I think is going on here? I'd really prefer not to load the gif file for every new instance.
I've got some files that I use in Flash CS4 and I need to use them in Flash MX2004. I worked out that I could open the files in Flash CS4 and try to edit the content from the library with Photoshop CS4 (right-click on the item in the library, Edit with...) but for some reason it doesn't work.
So I worked out that I could drag and drop one image at a time on the stage and use Export feature to export it as an image. It worked! Now, my question is: How can I export a sound file form my library onto a disk (so I could use it in Flash MX2004)?
