is there a way to load a dynamic movie into a dynamic movie? like say I have a master movie and i load a movie into it. Thats all fine and done, but what if i want to load another movie inside that first dynamic movie?
View 3 RepliesI've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{

how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!
I know that you can do for example onClipEvent(enterFrame) as an action for an exisiting movie clip.How do i dynamically do thisI load the movie:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip", 101);
myMovieClip._x=50;
myMovieClip._y=50;

I'm having some problems with the XML/FLASH Photo Gallery Tutorial ([URL]). When I load the swf file into another movie the dynamic text will not display. Any thoughts to why this is happening.
View 1 Repliesok I only got my flash movie working half way. I have 2 picture containers but only one is working. I changed the name on the second one to match the flash instance names but still won't work.
View 0 RepliesI'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 Have 3 Movies:MAIN.SWF, contains loading movie actions for Nav.swf and Home.swf.NAV.SWF, contains navagation menu loaded on Level 2 in Main HOME.SWF, contains slideshow for home page loaded on Level 1 in Main In NAV.SWF, there is a MOVIE CLIP "graphmc", which contains a BUTTON "graphicbtn", When this button is clicked, I'd like the HOME.SWF (which is loaded into Main.swf on Level 1) to fade out and unload, and load and fade in Graphics.SWF in place of it.
View 6 RepliesIm having a hard time putting in my head on how would i go at making flash read a xml file (this part I have it going smooth) and then fromt hat elements put on the stage a sprite or a movieclip that is interactive.
To make it clear I want to load and display an image that when you press it it just creates another square beneath it with some text. I believe I have to interate the xml and then use each of the elements with a class and gettin that object onto the stage.
Im using flash builder and as3 and im looking just for pointing in the rigth direction,
I am dinamicly creating movie clip(see code below). I give each movie clip a name that has a diffrent nubmer at the end(myMovieClip1,myMovieClip2,..). In the createEmptyMovieClip this works fine, but when I want to do something with the new created mc (_root.designer.nameMC.lineStyle(0.5, 0xFF0394, 100); ) I can't use the string variable to acccess it. How can I access this movieclip with the name given in the createEmptyMovieClip method?I shuold probably (somehow) set movie clips instance name, right?

I have loaded a swf using AS3, using the
Code:

so MC is called myUILoader, I want to navigate to another section of the FLA and I put an if statement on the function for the button:
Code:
function mMenuNav1(event:MouseEvent):void {
var nav:String = "home";

Why the sound doesnt stop after the child has been removed and why I can't stop the MC????
i have a dynamic text which loads data from external file what i want is that based on what i click in the dynamic text the corresponding image should be displayed from the folder in the movie clip loader. e.g say dynamic text file has ball,bat,bird,sun these should be listed in the dynamic text area and when say i click ball, the movie clip loader should display the the image of ball from the folder.

I am creating dynamic Movie Clip using as3, but I don't have any idea about dynamic Instance name, how I can assign Instance name for a movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI have a requirement wherein I have to draw some of the elctronic components like resistors, capacitors and inductors. I have tried using the image and converted it to the Movieclip, but it has some limitations with respect to our requirement and also doesnt look natural. Is it possible to draw the components using basic shapes and then try converting it to movie clip. I want to assign some events to the ends of the components(small end wires for connecting the components) say like highlighting the wire end by drawing a circle on mouse focus on these points. This requirement is not possible with the image being converted to
movieclip.
I have a move clip (video_mc) which contains the instance of flv_playBack with instance name test_video.i would like create a instance of the movieclip (video_mc) which presents in library as myVideo_mc dynamically.[code]
View 1 RepliesThe image is the little speaker, which has been converted to a Button symbol. When you click the button to mute, the sound mutes and a red "X" appears over the speaker icon. The red "X" was created as a Movie Clip so that it appears and disappears as you mute and unmute....after you click the button and mute, the red "X" does appear, however 1.) When the master movie recycles so does that X (it disappears). The muting stays off, though. Of course, then, if I want to unmute, I have to reclick the speaker icon to make the "X" reappear and then quickly click it again to turn the muting off (and I have to catch it before it recycles and disappears again).it is anyway. I'm using AS2:
var sound = 1;var offMC = _root.attachMovie("off","off01",99);off01._visible = false;off01._x = btn._x;off01._y = btn._y;var s:Sound = new Sound();s.attachSound("WildWestSaloon2");s.start;btn.onPress = function(){ if(sound==1){

If I am intruding here with a silly beginner questions I apologize. I am new to Flash. I have purchased a dynamic flash intro sort of like this url..It came with the full package including source files and but also simple editing through an xml file. I have the video as I want it but want to put it as an introduction for a full video (in AVI or .FLA format).How can I export it as a video file without the need of anything else such as the xml?

I am trying to make a scrollbar that scrolls a dynamic movie clip horizontally and resizes to match the width of that movie clip.I'm having trouble making the scrollbar resize to the correct size and having it scroll at the correct speed so that it can scroll the whole movie clip.

View 2 Repliesi'm buzy with my portfolio, and i made this script for loading dynamic jpg's into an flash movie, with only assigning an number of pictures
[Code]...
it create's an empty mc (pic_1 to pic_5) and load the assigned jpg into it (images/portfolio_1 to _5), and assigning the possitions next to each other (pictures are 50x50) with 5 space between them...
script looks alright, and the trace output is as i xpected, but it dozn't seem to work correctly, it gives no errors at all, and i can only c picture 1... no more, no less, and _x of the mc isn't as it should be..
If i attach 50 movie clips to content_mc. and then i run another function where i want to:
1. clear all of the attached movie clips on content_mc
2. repopulate content_mc with new movie clips
how do i clear content_mc?i want to just do a magic content_mc.clear like you do with the drawing junk.
I'm loading jpg's externally into a dynamically created movie clip that then get clicked on to show a larger image. I'd like to be able to click on that MC/larger image to close it once it's loaded. Here's the code I'm using to create the MC and for the life of me can't figure out how to do it after extensive searching on the subject. Basically I'm wanting to go back to the "pre-click" state of the movie when it first loads before any clicking happens.
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("large_mc", 1);
with (_root.large_mc){
_x=225;
_y=92;

but it doesn't work...
need to have a movie text containing a dynamically loaded single line text box to move back and forth like a ticker tape. The text box will change content depending which button is pressed, so the length will always change. The effect is something like in the winamp display screen where the text scrolls back and forth depending on the length of the file name.I can get everything to scroll one way or another but I can't seem to get it to switch directions when it reaches a certain _X position. I've used if statements to set a variable when the _x position reaches a certain point, nested loops, everything I can think of.These are two versions of the loops I've used to move the clip. I've tried this in a clipEvent and as a function.
do{
this._x ++;
}while(this._x>300)

Basically, I have two movie clips; Square_mc, which is the object I want to scale and scaleTransform_mc which acts as my free transform edit point. What I'd like to happen, is when you click on and drag Transform_mc (The edit point), the correpsonding Square_mc movie clip's _xscale and _yscale change in proportion. I.e. Similar to the free transform tool in Flash.
Code:
scaleTransform_mc.onPress = function(){
scaleTransform_mc.startDrag();

Is there a way I can easily create an identical row of moviclips with button functionality easily (i.e holder2)? I have a feeling duplicateMovieClip doesn't support dynamically loaded content. I intend to switch the attachMovie command with a loadMovie to load Jpegs instead of movieclips.
