View 2 RepliesI am having a problem loading a bitmap/graphic into the place of a movie clip using AS 2.0 on Flash CS3.You see, I am uploading an image into a library, for example, Bitmap1.jpg, and I upload another image to turn into a movie clip, for example, Bitmap2.jpg turns into Symbol 1.I place Symbol 1 onto the screen and I've been trying code after code and I'm not sure how to load Bitmap1.jpg in the place of Symbol 1 using the 'if statement'. I've tried the 'load' functions, but since I've just bought CS3 and I don't have Flash 8, a lot of the functions have changed.Here's an example of my code:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
if(Junior == "Stranger") {
loadMovie("Bitmap1.jpg")
}
Cut to the chase, I'm trying to load "Bitmap1.jpg" or my library name (Bitmap) into the place of Symbol 1 (my MovieClip) when Junior is equal to Stranger, using AS 2.0 on Flash CS3. This code doesn't work on CS3.

I'm working on this scroll from tweener [URL]. I've made a button that lets me reach the position I want on the scroll
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
};
Now I'd like to load a movie when I move to this or that position. Maybe with if?
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
if (_root.Position=4) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}};
but this doesn't work (it loads the movie alright but not because of the position).
I have a .swf file with tool tips and dynamic colors on movie clips that I want to load into another movie.

View 7 Replieshow do i add a movie clip to a button position? i want a button that, when clicked, slides out to a certain position and stop. kinda like a drawer in a desk.
View 1 RepliesI 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 9 Repliescan I script a buttons to unload a movie clip or swf, then load a different movie?
View 6 RepliesDoes anyone know the code for finding the global positioning of X & Y co-ordinates of a click of a button which is constantly rotating, and then secondly the code for when you click on the button it displays a movie clip on top of it -(position of x & y when clicked) at the angle that you clicked it (so underneath the buttons are still rotating so other people can click them where they are)to explain the context, I'm trying to design a mock up of a circular interactive table when someone comes up to it and clicks on one of the buttons that are moving, it reads where the person clicked it and opens up a new box (movie clip) where they clicked it (at the angle) so its not upside down if you are at the topI've included my .fla file which shows the four buttons moving and a little diagramexplaining what I'm trying to do.

View 1 RepliesBasically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).

View 4 RepliesI wondered if there was a way to have a few buttons load different xml docs into a single frame. Basically, I've got an image gallery, and I'd like to click a button and have a new xml doc load in and replace the existing. I know I could do this by just putting each gallery section on a frame, placing a load command on each frame for each xml doc, but I wondered how to do this on just one frame?
View 1 RepliesI have drawn a few buttons in Illustrator CS4 and copied them into Flash (AS3 document). Everything as far as button functionality is working fine, (rollovers, clicks and whatnot), my problem is (hopefully) quite simple to fix, I just can't find how to do so! When I hover over the buttons, the solid parts of the vector (the parts with fill colour) are selectable, however the parts with transparent fills are not (e.g. the space between two letters, or the negative space of an 'O'). What I want is for it to be selectable as if it was a box shape, but keep the transparencies there.I don't know if the problem is resolved in Illustrator or Flash, if anyone knows please reply! I've tried a few things in Illustrator already, such as drawing transparent bounding boxes around the graphics, however the same problem persists.

i have a textbox. i want to load the movie clip without button. How i can do that?
I'm using a test file so I can see how a full website is going to work. I've got 5 layers:Background, title, menu, main contents, Actions.I have an empty movieclip that I call "contents-main". And it is placed in the proper location.On Frame 1 of the Actions panel, I have loadMovie("760-250-main.swf", "contents-main"); This works fine and loads the movie into the empty clip.On the menu layer, I have a button. What I want to do is click on that button and havea different movie load into the movieclip called "contents-main". I have tried everything on the tutorials that I can find and nothing will work.I also tried putting different variations and also putting the unloadMovie before loadMovie statement.

I've gone fully gray trying to learn how to do something in AS3 that was routine in AS2: Unloading (if something's already there) something from a movie clip then loading something in the same clip, all with the same button. Here's the code I'm using, er, attempting to use now. These are for two buttons out of a set of 9. All I'm trying to do is the simple: look to see if there's something in the clip "hovercap", and if so, remove it completely;, then load a new movie. (If there ISN'T something in "hovercap", I want to load a new movie anyway.
invisible_mvp1800c.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_DOWN, loadImage); {
function loadImage(url:String):void {
if(imageLoader != null && contains(imageLoader)){

View 3 RepliesI'm fine with on(release) to take to a new frame etc but this is my situation.
Imagine a Windows PC. You click the Start Button, it makes the start menu appear, no matter what folder/window/software you have open. Now liken it to a flash movie. Interactive, to make a button to make a set of graphics appear in a set place on the frame.
