Is there any way to load a external .swf into a movieclip that is in the library?
Such as
img0_mc.loader_mc.loadMovie("movie.swf") while img0_mc is in the library and not on the scene.
Just got into flash about 8 months ago and have an assignment for AS2. (Personally I like AS3, but I have to work the parameters of the project). My question: I have a loadMovie command on the 1st frame of my timeline. How can I play a movieClip from the library and leave it on the stage before the loadMovie. I can provide more details and the code i have so far if needed.

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:

and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
[URL] I want to use this movieclip in another movieclip using loadmovie.Ofcourse the "_root referring to"'s have to be changed . but I just can't get it working.Mainmovie.fla using as. to get submovie.fla.submovie contains the as. used in the topic.

View 1 RepliesI have a scroll movieclip which contains 15 buttons each button is an instance of 1main button. I have the button frame inside the timeline of the movie clip and the actions in frame 1 of the clip.onrelease should call the loadMovie function and load another. swf in level 1.[code]it only works using LoadMovie not LoadMovieNum but instead of loading the swf into level 1 it loads into level 0.i can use this the way it is but why is it only loading in level 0?
View 6 RepliesI'm dynamically creating an empty movieclip inside another movieclip to load an image into it.
How could i make sure that this image is always centred in the movieclip?
Also, if i have a attached movieclip named E.G. 1M how do i find out the x and y position to make it appear next to each other?
I can't manage to load jpg in some duplicated mc. I tried to add the as to the container mc "img"
Code:onClipEvent (load){ this.loadMovie(_parent._name+".jpg"); which trace the correct path to the jpg but the jpg don't show up. (Which would be wrong as if I remember well, the mc when being duplicated loses the loadMovie part????To be confirm) So I thought that maybe the best would be to have it done while duplicating the movie but whatever I have beeen trying has been unsucessful. Here is the codes with duplicating mc.

how to load a movieclip into a blank movie clip all in the same movie?!
View 4 RepliesI'm making a new as3 file, and there I made an animation, like an intro for my website, in a movie clip. But what I want is, when this animation or this movie clip ends, automatically it charges another swf with my website, without having to press any button. I read some tutorials on internet that I can make this, creating a new empty movie clip, and then writing some code, but it didn't work me.

I have a color problem when loading a movie clip. I have a root animation with white background including a movieclip. I have to load clips using loadMovie into that movieclip. When I load those movies, who have different background colors, the loaded movie's background color is completely ingored so I always have the white background.
I've tried to find the original background color of the movie I load but no success. Did someone can help me with this problem ?
This is driving me nuts... is it impossible to use attachMovie inside a movieclip you used loadMovie on? For example, I have this but it doesn't work out:
Code:
imageHolder_mc.loadMovie("firstImage.jpg");
imageHolder_mc.attachMovie("secondImage_mc","attachedImage_mc",1);
Why doesn't this just load the firstImage.jpg through the loadMovie method and then create an attachedImage_mc on the imageHolder_mc (with the secondImage_mc)? All its doing as of now is loading the first image... then if I comment the loadMovie part, it attaches the second image.
EDIT: Just a little more info. Basically I have a movieclip called imageHolder_mc that I created manually on stage. This movieclip calls LoadMovie to load in a JPG, but later on I need too replace the entire content of it with a movieclip from the library (still keeping the imageHolder_mc instance name).
I'm loading an external movieclip into an empty movieclip which is inside of another movieclip. But the movieclip I'm loading isn't properly centering to the top movieclip.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("side2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.side2.loadMovie("skins/default/red.swf");
this.side2._x = this._x;
[Code]....
Way way way off of the top movieclip. I'd at least expect side2's 0,0 point to be in the upper left which would snap to the center point of this. But not even close.
Im trying to create an inventory where when you click an object it will automaticly go into your inventory, the inventory is embedded in other movieclips.I have quite a few spaces(movieclips) in the inventory box when it is open but I just need it so when you click an object it attaches to a movieclip in the inventory.I also need it so that if you click a different item it attaches to the next space in the inventory rather than overlapping an item you have clicked before. I would only have only about 15 (or something similar) spaces so if I have clicked 16 items the 16th item cannot go into the inventory.

My question is : Can i loadmovie the external movieclip in the main movie?
When you use LoadMovie to load a SWF, does that SWF stay loaded, or does it get reloaded every subsequent time you use the LoadMovie function for that same SWF? I use the LoadMovie function in several buttons to load SWFs into my movie. In those same buttons, I use a function which fades a different (already present) movieclip in. However, the LoadMovie call seems to block out the movie clip which needs to fade in; when I click the button, it loads the SWF just fine, the movieclip just doesn't fade in (or it does, but I can't see it), when I comment the LoadMovie call out, the movieclip fades in just fine (and I can see it). Also, I load the SWFs into an empty movieclip, which is beneath all other layers, so that's not the problem.
In my button:
Code:
on(release){
_root.home.fade(0,100,10);
_root.content.loadMovie("home.swf");
}
I've tried:
Code:
on(release){
_root.content.loadMovie("home.swf");
_root.content.swapDepths(1000);
_root.home.fade(0,100,10);
}
But, that doesn't get me anywhere, either.
I'm using Flash MX 2004, and using the loadMovie() function to draw an external .swf file into a blank movieclip. My question is how the browser (let's assume Internet Explorer) caches this information. I know that after a Flash movie is loaded within an HTML page, the browser caches it, so that on the next load the movie appears nearly instantly from the cache. However, does it also cache the movie loaded using loadMovie(), or does it always redownload that external movie regardless?
View 2 RepliesUsing loadmovie I'm loading an external SWF on a different domain. Any property changes made to a movie clip in the loaded SWF don't show in a broswer. container.emc.loadMovie([URL]); Inside movieA is the movieclip "box". I don't want "box" to be visible so I've used container.emc.box._visible = false; All working fine at this point, when I preview the SWF from Flash (CS3) I see that box isn't visible. When I open the SWF in the browser, movieA is loaded but box is not set to invisible. This happens with all browsers or any publish settings I try.

View 2 RepliesI need to load a movie clip to the stage from the library. I also need that movie clip to load with a certain string of actionscript code in it. To load the movie clip, i checked the "export for actionscript" thing in the "linkage" section of the movie clip info, and i named the class "sol1"
I then used this code on the first (and only) frame: Code: _root.attachMovie("sol1", "NewInstanceName", {_x: 50, _y: 100}); It seems to work, but the question is, how do i load the movie clip with code in it?
In my fla file, I created a movieclip in library which links to class MyMovieClip. I add some functions in the class. I fla file, when I drag the movieclip to stage, all the functions are working well. But I want to dynamic create the movieclip in stage(not dragging from library). This is the codes in my first frame of fla:
var tf:MovieClip= new MyMovieClip();
addChild(tf);
but all the time it display those error information: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at MyMovieClip()
at dragExample_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
anybody can tell me what the problem is and how to dynamically create a movieclip which link to a class.
getting a MovieClip item onto the stage within say the Document Class.
The trick is though, I would like to do it when the MovieClip linkage refers to a Class name, but does not actually have a Class document created.
I know that you could give it a class complete with document and that would be easy. But if you have say 10 enemy objects that literally do the same thing but just look different, why should I create 10 separate classes!
or am I barking up the wrong tree and I should just set up 10 different enemy styles within the 1 MovieClip and just attach the 1 Class to it?
Though I would still like to know how to get a MovieClip onto the stage dynamically from the Library when it doesn't have a Class file associated with the Class name in it's linkage
When I add a .png to the library and convert it to a MovieClip, afterwords Im left with 3 instances. A bitmap, a symbol and a MC. Do I need all of these. If I delete either one all the rest become usless. Why? Do I need all 3?
