Ok this probably has to be the stupidest question ever asked here on kirupa but I�m going to ask it anyways. You see I have 4 containers (mc�s). and according to the user it loads a different swf into it so what I wished to know is how to put a loader for each .The following steps explain it better-
[Code]....
I have several Movie Clips in the Library which I need to be able to load and bring up on the screen randomly.The code below shows how I can load one of these, but to get a proper control ideally I would like to load them all in to an array or numbered variables so that they can be called from a simple piece of code and actioned one at a time.
My movieclips can all be called something simple like mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4 etc to make things easier.These need to be referenced in to an array mcContainer[.....] or as mcContainer1, mcContainer2........ so that they can be called easily.I just need to know the simplest way to do this and how i reference them, I have tried several ways like ["mc"+i] etc and nothing seems to work.
Code:
var mc:mcLogo=new mcLogo();
addChild(mc);

This is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
View 9 Repliesi have two seperate movie clips on two seperate layers on the front page of my template. (loaded dynamically) the layers are on top of one another.
the two movie clips work fine one their own on the template, but when i put them both on the template and I press their respective buttons the TOP movieclip's buttons control the BOTTOM movie clips actions. it's crazy. i've tried to move them around but then it's just the reversed - the bottom buttons control the top movieclip.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to have two completely separate swfs to talk to each other, if they were both in the same folder and both open? For example one swf being an input text box, and the other swf being another text box which displays a list of the things typed in the input box of the other swf. I have this working all in one clip, I just want tho know if I can separate out the input box and the list box into two swf, and have them connected in some way, I'm sure I have seen this in some banner ads.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to have movieclips, on two seperate layers, both located on the first frame of their layer, to have an AS where when MovieClip1 reached frame 5 of the movieclip MovieClip2 goes to frame 5 of its movieclip but MovieClip1 continues to play even though the AS was triggered?

I have one png image with few icons there. So now I need to load that image, to brake it apart and to use those icons as MC-s.
View 2 RepliesMy goal is to have a map that I can drag around within the frame of a webpage. Finding the right code to move the map in a restricted frame wasn't too easy but I managed to find that (which works like a charm):
zoom3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragArea);
zoom3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropArea);
[Code].....
Now the catch is that I'd like the map to be dragged simultaneously with a movieclip situated above, that contains names of regions, cities etc.. Both can't be on the same layer as I need to put a layer of texture in between.
Is there a simple way to link both layers and make them move at once?
I'm having some trouble with the attached file, I've tried lots of things but just can't seem to control the movie clip. On click on 'Detailing' from the landing page a new slide *slides onto the stage 'content3'. Within this I have added a separate graphic with a tween 'gr_detailcopytest'. I want it to start only when it lands within the main stage's masked area. I also want the tween to stop too after its played out. I have tried adding a stop action at the end of the tween but this stops the tween altogether - Furthermore, when I click on another menu item and go back to 'Detailing' I want the tween to start again.
View 6 RepliesI'm making a menu system that uses sliding movie clips instead of separate pages - [URL]. But when you click on the 'study at UWS' button, the nested slider kind of goes nuts, until you press on of the side buttons.
View 1 RepliesCould anybody point me to the right direction on how to do the background for [URL]? Is each of the tiny things seperate movieclips that move with relation to the mouse? I want to understand how it works since it seems to work efficiently and doesn't have any slowdown.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to do something pretty basic I think...I have attached a screenshot below of what the site looks like so far. What I want to do is always have the left hand side links showing on the site. I want to create a new .fla for projects and have that load on the window on the right when the projects link is clicked on. What I have done in the past is create the entire website within one .fla but that is getting too confusing. I assume some actionscript is required here which I am pretty useless with.
View 21 RepliesI need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.
there a more official name for a 'flash container' ? because very little results come up when i try and search for answers!can you load a container within a container, i'm thinking no but would like to clear that up also! for example i've followed this tutorial htm however when loaded up in a container nothing appears in the mouse over effect.. i've also tried loading jpegs into a swf via an xml which again works fine until i load it up within a container and nothing appears..

I know it has been done in Madness Interactive, which I did check up on and looked through the code and found nothing, as well as Googled a bunch of stuff, and still nothing.
View 3 RepliesOK on my main timeline i have 2 buttons each one loading 2 seperate SWF's. When I load the first SWF it works perfect. Now when I load the other SWF. on the same level it replaces the 1st SWF. Now comes the problem, when i go to reload the first SWF the error accurs. "256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list. This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie."
I understand the concept of the error. I just can not fix it. Is it a matter of having everthing on one SWF. file. Or is there an unloadMovie script I can use.I found this script from Actionscript.org. Posted it there...but didn't get ther help i needed.

I have a combo box that is loading in separate .swf files when an item is selected. In the file that I'm loading in, there is a TileList component and a media player. Before I added in those items, it was loading in, but now, this is the error that I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::BaseScrollPane/drawBackground() at fl.controls::TileList/draw() at fl.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()
I am currently wondering if it is possible to load a swf that is sitting on another file server. I.e. I currently have a custom play bar swf which is embedded on a website (behind the company's firewall) which then loads swf content (currently in the same folder on the website server). The problem I have is bandwidth between remote sites is limited and streaming the swf content from the website server is not an option, however we do have a DFS set up to push all the swf content out to local file servers.
I have tried using a file:// path which works if you create a windows projector file however it doesn't work when embedded onto a website as it seems to try to access via http which the file servers are not set up for. So is it possible to get the play bar swf to load the swf content sat on a remote file server?
I have been trying to find recources on loading a .swf into a sepearte one.for instance:I will have an HTML layout with multiple flash movies. I know I can load movie into the .swf that the button is in.my question is. can I have the navigazion on the left side of the screen communicate with another random .swf to load the additional content?

I am loading a scrolling image bar into a separate movie and it works great with the coding I have managed to piece together (since I am not an AS master) the problem I am having is that when the mouse moves out of the scrollbar area it is still controlling the motion from the rest of the movie it is imported into. I am pretty sure that it revolves around a _root.drag._y script command but since I am still learning scripting I am not sure of exactly how to code this....the scrollbar is 90pixels in height and I want the images to keep scrolling at +2 when the mouse leaves the designated area, just not to move with the mouse movement when moving around below the scrollbar.
mc = _root.drag._x
if (mc>250and mc<360){
for (i=1; i<=nomc; i++) {
mx = getProperty("/a" add i, _x);
setProperty ("/a" add i, _x, mx+2);

This may be straight forward however I'm still new to AS and flash so am unsure of how to go about it. All I want is on the release of a button for an SWF to load into a separate static page rather than loading into a Container on the _root. How is this done with AS?

For the above script, am trying to load a swf file to load into an main movie file. This is for a flash website am working on, and i wanted to know if the above .Since having all the pages (6 pages) in one flash file, it would take long time to load, so am planning to have each of the 6 pages in an separate swf file and load these into main swf file, on click of a button, Also there needs to be a loading bar for each page.
Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the rotation properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the child element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin on the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and inside of that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger item being the item in focus.
On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in the example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a rotationX of 0, so it works fine)
What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
