I have a main Movie that I'm using loadClip into empty HolderMc's. I am using listener inits and they are loading and working fine independently. the main movie loads swf A and B. I have a button in swf A needs to tell swf B (headHolderMc) to change:[code]I've tried _root.headHolderMc._alpha = 100; but nothing works.[code]
View 7 RepliesI have the following code:
Code:
_root.TemplateListener = new Object();
_root.TemplateListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void
{
trace (_root.mcBalloonBase.mcTemplate); // undefined[code]........
The loaded SWF 'bt_latex10.swf' have an instance named 'mcTemplate' in its stage. Since it is being loaded into a new empty movieclip called 'mcBalloonBase' that is at the stage of main movie, why it is returning undefined? How can I access the 'mcTemplate' after it be loaded?

View 3 Repliesloading random movies into a loadclip. Currently I load all my movies this way.
loadMovie("preview.swf","loadclip");
I want to have one of several movies load in a random order when the site launches. Obviously when a viewer returns to my site, a different movie would initially load.
i want to control the timeline of a swf loaded with loadClip command. i wrote this code
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);
function onLoadComplete(_mc:MovieClip) {
_mc.play()
[Code]....
function pause on a button is used to stop the playback of the loaded movieclip.
strange thing is that stop() works when testing the movie by flash application and playing it from the projector. It DOES NOT WORK when running it from swf directly or by html with swf embedded. I checked lot of time and the name of the "container" is resolved, but the command is not working for its timeline.
Basically, I have a main .swf, into which I am loading another .swf using loadClip(), on the click of a button. It loads into an empty movie clip on the timeline of the main .swf called container_mc. So far so good, this works.
The problem comes when I am trying to control a movie clip that lives on the timeline of the external .swf. This clip has the instance name test_mc, and I'm trying to control it using the reference _level0.container_mc.test_mc. I have also tried just plain old container_mc.test_mc.
Neither of these work, though when I apply a trace to test_mc with Actionscript on the timeline of the external swf (test_mc.onRelease = function () { trace(this); }), it returns the path _level0.container_mc.test_mc (when clicked on after being loaded into the main movie, obviously).

I want to load a PNG image using loadClip() and place it into a movieclip. After the image is loaded I set an event handler, in this case onPress. Now my problem is that the onPress event activates whereever I click on this loaded PNG image. All I want it to do is to only fire the event if I press on a non-transparent area of the PNG image. In the end, I want to load a background image and put this PNG image over it. The PNG image shall act like a mask which tells the background image where I can click and where I'm not supposed to. But before I can do that I need to recognize transparent areas of an imported PNG image.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on an image pre-loader where i get the images i want from their respective url's, and once finished, proceeding to the next page. I have gotten it to load the images as i want/need, through lines of code similar to this:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("imgcont",1);
loader.loadClip("*url to img goes here*",imgcont);
All i'm looking to find is how many of my images have loaded completely. At first, i thought that getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() would have been able to help me, but it seems that the images brought in through loadClip has no weight on how much has been loaded.
Is there any way of determining how much of those images has been loaded?

I have a movie which is made up:
Level0= my interface layout with buttons
Level1= the different sections of the site, are loaded into this level (eg. home.swf, aboutus.swf etc.)
Because each of these sections has both an 'in' and 'out' transition, i want to use variables (on the buttons) to control these external movies that are loaded into the main movie (im even starting to confuse myself
basically in a nutshell... can you use buttons which control a movie ,which has been loaded at another layer, using variables....
i want to know weather it is possible to control the music in a base movie when different movies load into it using load movie. it can done manually by using a volume slider. but is there any way to controll it using action script??Suppose "start.swf" is a base movie with a music (xyz.mp3, event sound, 50 loops) in which different movies load in defferent levels. I want to controll the sound volumes differently when each movie loads & plays.
like when "one.swf" loads the volume = 50,
"two.swf" loads the volume = 0
Is it necessary to unload Movies in Flash, or can I keep multiple movies loaded simultaneously? Are there memory requirements that make it necessary to limit the number of Flash movies loaded at one time?

I also have a button that appears when a movie is loaded that is coded to remove the myLoader1 child when selected. So the movie dissapears.

View 1 Repliesi have my loaded .swf buttons loading 'movie1' and 'movie2'. both 'movie1' and 'movie2' have a tween in frames 1-5, which is a box that slides open and is stopped. in frames 6-10 the box slides backwards in the opposite and dissapears. i would like it if 'movie1' is open and the user clicks the button for 'movie2', 'movie1' plays 6-10 and then loades 'movie2' and vice versa. i just don't a script for this function.
View 7 RepliesI have a site I am building in AS3. I have a main SWF, site.swf, that loads the subsections as seperate SWF's only when a user clicks on them (to save on initial load time).or my subsections, I need to be able to communicate with the SWF that loaded it. In AS2, this was simple enough - just say something like_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("something"), and step up enough levels to speak to movie clips in the main SWF.Trying to do this in AS3, however, results in errors such as this when trying to compile my subsection SWF:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.... because it thinks I am trying to communicate with something that doesn't exist. The result is that I can't compile my subsection SWF's.For example, I am unable to reference a variable in the main SWF using this code in my subsection SWF:

View 7 RepliesIve made two simple up/down buttons, that "scrolls" a loaded movie by the following code (lets say the movie is loaded to level 5):
_level5._y += 5;
Very simple.
Well, Id like to be able to hold down the button and have the movie scroll continously, like the scroll++ code does for textboxes
A problem that I'm having is that any movie I load into my main swf (regardless if I load it into an empty MC or just a higher level) my mouse still recognizes buttons that are underneath the loaded swf. This can be confusing to the viewer as the pointer turns to essentially an invisible button because you can't see the underlying button. Is there anyway to make the Flash player not recognize buttons underneath loaded SWF's or do I have to turn to invisible upon load?
Also, I'm having trouble getting the loaded swf to communicate with the main movie that loaded it. I think I need to use the parent action but I'm not sure how. I'm trying to use code that is created and contained in the movie that it loaded, is this correct?
i load external movie with loadMovie action.
It loads the SWFs into the movie correct.
I have problem, how simply switch between the loaded movies. The last loaded movie overlay all loaded movies.
How is possible do it the swap of the loaded movies?
Is there a way to automatically unload movies when a new movie is loaded? eg: 5 buttons, 5 bit of art. At the moment they overlap instead of unloading before the new one loads.
