ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Into Main Movie Which Uses An Xml Gallery?
Aug 24, 2007
I have a swf that I am loading into my main movie which uses an xml gallery.The line of code that brings in the xml file is:xmlData.load("filename.xml");
I would like to be able to reuse the swf and change out the xml file using a variable I will call from a menu. I can't work out what the correct syntax should be. What do I replace the quote marks around filename.xml with? My variable is called _global.xmlFile.

I have one swf that was made by Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory Deluxe program, and some other files comes with it.
The problem is that when it loads into my main swf doesn't appear into the movieclip that i target to the code but on the stage, on top of all others, i don't know exactly what happens, it seems not to be in the display list!!!
The point is that i'd like a back button showing in front of the gallery in order to be able to close it and go back.

I want to load the image gallery into my main movie.I have tried using the Loader component so that I can place the gallery in the middle of the main movie but the gallery just doesn't load correctly! I want it to load inside the Loader box in the middle of the page but it kicks the images out to the edge of the main movie.I suspect I need to edit the AS of the gallery.fla to specify the width of the SWF gallery inside the Loader, so I can send that to you via email - can't post it here cos its too long.

I am using CS4 and ActionScript 2.0.I am trying to create a photo gallery.I have created 4 different movie clip buttons that reside on the content layer.Each button consists of one image.When the movie clip button is pressed, I want the full size image to appear on the stage next to the buttons.You can see the buttons in the image below.I am trying to create an empty movie clip holder that would reside on the main timeline while the buttons reside on the content layer.I need to get the images to load into the empty movie clip and then unload when the next button is selected?I can't seem to get the buttons to "talk" to the empty movie clip holder.I did manage to create code for an empty movie clip holder within each button, but then I end up with all four images on top of each other.

I have a movie gallery (they are basically images with a fading effect), and I got it setup, and working, but I cannot get right the action script to make the first movie load when the page opens. The only thing I get to see is the scroll bar with the thumbnails, and after I click on the images I can see the full size. I would like the full size image of the first thumbnail to show up as default when the page opens. And then, if you click on the thumbnails the other images will appear.This is the action script for a typical Thumbnail (setup as a button):
on (release) {
loadMovie("clip0.swf", "_root.screen");
}

Im have 5 swf files that I want to play one after another on my home page.
I would like to have the first movie load and play and while that is going on have the others downloading in the background so they are ready to start when the first movie finishes.
After the 5th and last movie has played I would like it then to return to the first movie and just loop this process continually.
I have attached what I have at the moment which is a file called demand.fla that uses buttons to load in demand001, demand002, deamd003 etc.
Ideally i would like demand to load in each slide automatically and then have flashmove onto the next one after 5 seconds or so.

I have created the gallery as its own movieclip and require it to open when the thumbnail images (within the main movie) are clicked on.The nature of the 'gallery' movieclip is such that on each keyframe there is a different picture and so when the thumbnails are clicked on i need the movieclip to open up within the main movie and jump to the frame that contains the large image of the thumbnail that has been clicked on.for instance to view the large version of the 3rd thumbnail the MC would need to jump to frame 3 when it has opened.

I am a bit new to the world of externally loaded swf's. I am trying to load an swf into my main movie, and then access/control the movieclips within that newly loaded swf, but for some reason it is not working.
Here is a quick example:
this.menu.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip_mc",this.menu.getNextHighestDepth()+1);
this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.loadMovie("\menu\standard.swf",this.menu.getNextHighestDepth()+1);
this.menu.myMovieClip_mc._lockroot = true;
trace(this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.option);
this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.onRollOver = function() {
trace("Hello?");
this.bounce(120);
}
Okay this code does sucessfully create the movieclip but my onRollOver function does not work, and I cannot access any of the movieClips within myMovieClip_mc such as option, it traces out as undefined.

Just entered my second year at college and thought i'd have a serious attempt at finishing a site... the work in progress is at [URL] In webdesigner magazine there was a tutorial that used flash actionscript and xml to load mp3s at runtime. Completed the tutorial locally and was working fine. included the player in the main movie and uploaded to the server, to find that the mp3s arent loading.

I have attached two pictures. Basically I am making a website. The main navigation loads in external swf's through a container movie. For this I have used this tutorial : [URL]. What I want to do is- when you rollover the navigation bar, be it the text or the coloured block- I want it to scroll down and reveal the 'sub navigation'. (pic2) It's like a drop down menu but kind of the other way around. Then, when you either rolloff of the navigation bar or click on a menu button, it slides back up to its original state. (Pic1). I have played around and only managed a sloppy version which doesn't work very well, especially when you resize. I think a simple answer to this is if I could get my buttons to work inside a movie clip. I had tried this but then the swfs wouldn't load properly.

on (release) {
_parent._parent.buttonClick("movie name", _parent._name);
}
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.

have a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.

I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

I'm trying to create a simple slide gallery with one main canvas + thumbnails.Usually the main canvas has auto slide feature.Users can choose the picture on main canvas from thumbnails.When the mouse is over thumbnails I want Canvas to stop auto slide show until that mouse is outside of thumbnails.So I start creating this, and I finish coding for auto slide show and choosing picture from thumbnails. Now I need to code if the mouse is on the thumbnail then temporary stop auto slide show.I thought the right way is to write the code like this,[code]but when I do this, the timer won't stop.

I'm having issues with references. I'll do my best to explain the problem simply. I have a website I'm currently working on in flash. I've created the base of the site and most of its content. It functions fine. I went online and found a decent looking gallery that I wanted to incorporate into the site and it works great also. The gallery is in its own directory.
When I try and load the main .SWF of the gallery into another .SWF within the base directory, the references break. I understand that this is because its being pulled and the gallery's .SWF looks for its assets based on where its located. Is there anyway possible to make a .SWF keep its paths relative to where it is pulled from instead of changing when it is pulled into another .SWF from different directories?

I am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
