ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading And Unloading Moviesclips In Different Levels?
Sep 1, 2004
I've got a mainmovie.exe, which creates 4 emptymovieclips as containersall of the containers load an external moviethe one at the top with a menu/buttonsI'd like the buttons when clicked to unload all the containers and reload the original lowest level movie from a particular frame. then it'll go through the process of creating empty clips, and load each external movie againBut since I'm playing the movies in an exe. I dont know how to unload all the containers and start the root/lowest level movie from a particular frame of a particular scene.The main movie is called mainmovie.exe, it creates containers 1 - to 4 as empty ,movie clips.DOes its thing, reaches a particular frame and loads movies into into container 1 - to 3, and topcontainer. Topcontainer is the most important. It has the buttons/menu. WHen I put an "on release action" to unload all the other containers and gotoAndPlay root ->frame 2, it doesnt work. It unloads everything, but wont load goto And Play.I'm left with a blank screen.So frame 2 of root mainmovie.exe
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container3",3);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("topcontainer",4);
setProperty("container3",_x,901.5);
[code]........

I came across this website http:[url]..... and is amazed by how the movieclips within the website do not autoscale to the browser whenever I resize the browser.the website is full screen but amazingly whenever the browser is resized, the movieclips within the website do not adjust according, instead they remain in their proportion.

I am creating a presentation which has a main flash and then 3 sub categories to it. Main.fla is nothing but a container to load the other movies into. I could get the the first movie (movie1.swf) to load onto main.swf by using the foll code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc",1);
empty_mc.loadMovie("movie1.swf");
empty_mc.x=0;
empty_mc.y=0;
Now the problem is in movie1.swf the menu is like on the 3rd level, i.e. main stage>menu_mc>menu (where the buttons are).
How can I add a code on level "menu" so that when I click button2 or button3 it loads movie2.swf and movie3.swf respectivley onto the main stage. Makes sense or am making it too confusing..
I want to try this breaking a big movie into smaller parts functionality so that I can understand flash more.

I have a game that has different music files for different levels. It doesn't make sense to load the music for level 2 in frame one and I don't want to load the music for level 3 until level 2 has commenced. Is there anyway to control how the music is loaded? The music is in the library.

for(i=1; i<50; i++){
loadMovieNum("a.swf",i);
}
This simple script loads 50 of "a.swf" into my movie however you can only see one on stage.I can use a create emptyMovieClip with coordinates to accurately place all the clips on stage,however I am trying to use just levels, instead.I have tried....
for(i=1; i<50; i++){
loadMovieNum("a.swf",i);
mc = loadMovieNum("a.swf",i);
mc._x = 50*i + 50;
mc._y = 30*i + 50;
How can I load and place all 50 accuratelty.

Why my "nieuws.swf' is not going to frame 2 or not showing at all when I press the button with the second piece of code on it? The nieuws.swf has a stop on frame 1 and on frame 2. I can see it right away when I take away the first stop. I use the function playNieuws, to make it all happen.
Code in main movie, first frame:
#include "lmc_tween.as"
this.createEmptyMovieClip('hok1', 1);
with (_root.hok1) {
lineStyle(0.1, 0x666666, 100);
_x = 265;
_y = 216;

I have a bit of an actionscripting dilema... I am trying load a movie ontop of another movie, so they are at different levels. This I can do ok, its just that when the new movie is launched and sits ontop of the old movie the buttons from the old are still active and interfere with the top movie. I know I could unload the old movie underneath, but my problem is that I want the user to be able to close the top movie to go back to the bottom movie at the place that they left it.!

I am apparently having problem loading a swf onto the proper level. Anyways, the short of it is that I now need to create all my movieclips on their proper layers and when they are needed call them to the screen.My main screen is on the first level/layer. I then created a movieclip on layer two. I then try to load the swf into that MC on layer 2 and it doesn't display.

I believe that my question here is a little hard, or maybe impossible. But here it goes:
How can I, in Flash, get the levels of volume (peak levels) of multiple sound frequencys from an audio file, so that flash would recognize them?

I was wondering if someone could take a look at my files and tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to rebuild an ad in AS3 from AS2 and I'm running into some issues. This is the problem: When a page loads there is a 728x360 container that loads a 728x90 ad. What I need to happen is I need to communicate to the container that when the 728x90 expand button is clicked it needs to unload or stay on the screen while a 728x360 expanded state is loaded in.
I have these files 90% figured out. My problem is I cant get the collapsed state that is loaded into the container to load the new state. I've included my files and they re really simple to follow.

I've got a games menu and have the code to load games when a button is clicked. So far say you want to play GameA... The player clicks the button to Play GameA and that game is loaded. Once the player finishes the game they are shown a button to continue which unloads the game and loads the menu.
The problem is that I want a movieclip to be visible on the menu but only when GameA is completed. There is no way to back out of GameA and getting back to the menu without completing GameA. I don't know how in GameA to put that if the continue button is pressed make 'GameATick' visible. I've tried inside the code of GameA putting code like root.GameATick.visible and code like this but it doesn't recognise the MC.

i have looked for a solution for a long time but they either didnt work and were too complicated for my little skill. so i have a main .swf which im working on. i then have buttons which when clicked, launch a panorama. the problem is that this panorama is created with a 3rd party program and is a .swf. now. i curretly have the follwoing script to launch the panorama
on(release){
loadMovieNum ("foyer_pano.swf", _root)
}
however this opens the swf in a new tab of my web browser. now that is not too bad, but i would like and it would be much better if the panorama would open inside my current swf. i remember i managed to do this. (sorry i forgot the code for it!!!) but when this was done, it would cover all my other buttons. i tried different things with changing levels and those sort of things, but nothing seemed to worked. (i was able to display a button on top of the swf but its AS woudlnt work) does anybody know how to do this? can someone explain it quite simply and in detail? i just want to load an swf in my project, and have a button on top of it with which i can unload this swf. (note that i cannot edit the settings of the panorama swf except for its size and dimensions and stuff, i cannot add a button or AS into it)

This image gallery I am working on loads the thumbnails(from the XML) into a scrollbar. It works for the first one fine, but when I click on another button for another gallery it adds the thumbs of the new gallery at the end of the ones already there, but what I trying to do is have the previous thumbs unload then load the new xml with the appropriate thumbnails.I have tried removeNode(); to unloadMovie(); and various other functions but nothing works. The XML does not unload before the next one loads EVER. The removeNode(); doesnt even remove all the children, which i thought it was supposed to.
Code:
xmlData.firstChild.removeNode();
This is in a function called on the release of all buttons, but it doesnt do anything. This function is located in the same frame as the loadXML function. Is this the wrong place to put it?

How could I make a preloader with multiple levels in as2? Should I use loadMovieNum or the MovieClipLoader class?
I want to make a main progress bar, that represents the loading of all the levels, not a progress bar for each level.

I am currently working on a platformer using accelerometer to move the character and xml to load levels as so..
[as]
level.x += (e.accelerationX*40);
if (e.accelerationX > 5) {
e.accelerationX = 5;
} if (e.accelerationX * 40 < 3 && e.accelerationX * 40 > -3) {
player.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....
And it is all added into one movieclip called level. My problem is when the character hits under a platform it will go up it which I don't want it too, I don't know how to fix it heres the gravity code.

I start off my game with an empty movieclip located in the middle of the stage. I then load a movieclip using the loadMovie method. At some point I would like to unload the movieclip and then reload another one, sort of a different scene if you will. The new movieclip has a number of other nested movieclips that I will use as buttons and I have coded a function that is called that creates these buttons. Here's what it would look like:[code]The roomSetUp function contains info on how the room should look and the button codes. The problem is that the setup function runs before the new movieclip is loaded. Seems that there is no way to have Flash 'Yield' until the movieclip is loaded and then go to the last function. Any suggestions other than MovieClipLoader?

I have an accordion style btn that expands and contracts base on the user's cursor.
When the btn expands it loads an external XML file. The problem I'm having is that after the btn contracts the loaded XML content is still in place. Is there a way to unload this XML content after it has loaded?

I have a external swf that has an embedded video that loads automatically. Once it loads I have a button that unloads it and reloads. The first time I unload it, it works fine. The second time the video unloads but the sound continues? This happens each time I load and unload; the sound continues to loop.
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs1/ME_video1a1.swf");

I'm currently working on a educational project for e-learning. This project has multiple buttons for opening several specific SWF files. What I want to accomplish is to be able to use my container file with 3 primary buttons for the named SWF files and have them load in a specific location in the container SWF. Then I have a separate button that just needs to close the loaded SWF file. FYI, the 3 primary buttons will be covered by the loaded swf file. I'm including my AS3 code for review. I can load a SWF and close it once. After that, it doesn't work.

am using pv3d to load a couple of models for a school project. The models typically don't do much, they just spin on a dial when fired up. At any given time, there are only two models shown. My initial thought is to utilize two global Collada instances and have a function call the Collada load function to load the new models into the instances. Looking through the Collada parser, it would seem that the load function appends the new model, leaving the existing models up there, as opposed to loading in a new set of vertices.
Fair enough. At this point I decide that I should remove the models from the scene, and create new ones every time the function fires.Here is where my problem lies. This probably from my lack of understanding on the workings of AS3/pv3d, so please bear with me. When I remove the models from the scene and add them again, the models do not appear within the scene. However, the model instances still remain traceable when I run a trace.Here is the code for reference. I omitted the portions which are duplicates.Instances are created on a global level as onRenderTick can't seem to reference it if I create it on any other level
public var model:Collada = new Collada();
public var model2:Collada = new Collada();
The initial properties such as x y position and pitch are set when the dials are created
public function setupDials():void {
var materialList:MaterialsList = new MaterialsList();
var bitmapFileMaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new

I have this code that unloads all swfs that the home swf connects too. by going back to the first frame label of the home.swf. Instead of it going to the first frame label of the home.swf I need the code to load another swf.The new button name is "back_btn", instead of the homebtn.[code]

I have a button that when clicked it shows a movie clip and when clicked again it removes the movie clip. I'm having trouble getting the button to do this action more than once. Is there some code I can add to the button to make the actions start from the beginning? I'm worried once the button is clicked to remove the movie clip, the action is only being read from the function down. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
my_btn.onPress = function()
{
captionFNtst(true,"tst",this);
this.onPress = function()

loading a SWF file and then removing it with the use of buttons. It's a fairly simple situation, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
function newvid(event:MouseEvent){
var tv_loader:Loader = new Loader();
tv_loader.load(new URLRequest("tv.swf"));
addChild(tv_loader);
[Code]....
The scene basically says click on button and tv turns on...but I can't seem to get the off button to work. I think I am missing a step some where in the code.

I am slowly learning AS3 but have hit a bit of a brick wall though I am sure it is something that many will see as easily resolvable, just my lack of knowledge and understanding of AS3 at this moment.
My query is I am trying to create a SWF which loads in (3) external SWF's using three movieclips I have within the main SWF. I have managed to get the external SWF's (1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf) to load in when each of the movieclips / AS3 buttons have been clicked but I cannot figure out how to unload the current selected SWF file (e.g. have initially click on btnOne which displays 1.swf yet when click on btnThree to display 3.swf, 1.swf has not been removed from the stage and overlaps 3.swf) when I want to load another SWF file (sorry if this does not make sense). Below is the test code I have tried:
Code: Select all/////////////////////
///////Loaders///////
/////////////////////
//One
[code]....
My question is how do I unload (or removeChild I guess) the current SWF from the stage when I click on another movieclip / AS3 button to load another external SWF without the mish-mash as can be seen in the uploaded test files?
