ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading .swf - Does Not Stay Inside Target
Feb 14, 2004
When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded? FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.

I have noticed that my tweens get off if I push a button to tween an object to fast or I enact another tween on the same object it will completely stop the tween -- the only go around that I can think of is to disable the interference with a timer event -

This goes for a football (soccer) game. The guy ("messi" is the name of the mc in the script down) is supposed to run all over the field following a random curved trajectory. That works fine, but i cant make the mc to stay inside the limits of the field. I dont wont it to turn (no scale = -100), i want it to keep the curvy movements inside the document dimensions or increase the rotation when it comes close to the edge in order to avoid desapearing. Heres the code:
Code:
var nTurnFactor:Number = 7;
var nBaseTurn:Number = 2;
messi.nAngle = 0;

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

I am using an external actionscript file, and I have dynamically loading images that stay on the screen for X amount of seconds (the user can set the value of x), then it loads the next image. However, this user would like for there to be a transition, For Example, have it fade out and have the next image in line fade in after the image has been displayed on the screen for X amount of seconds. This user would also like a loading bar, much like the one on the flash banner here: [URL] between each image transition.
I also have it so when someone hovers over a button, the flash banner stops, once they rollout X is reset to 1 and starts the counter again, and sets the movie to play at frame 1. Here is the actionscript file: [URL]

I haven't found my answer with a search of the forum, sorry if this is a redundant question. I am having problems with targeting a MovieClip that is inside another Movie Clip that is placed on stage from the Library using the addChild(); method. This is my code for creating the MC instance on stage:
var pMenuSlide:plusMenuSlide = new plusMenuSlide();
addChild(pMenuSlide);
Now, inside of pMenuSlide there is a MC called cloze, how do I target this MC? This does not work: var pMenuCloze:MovieClip = Object(root).pMenuSlide.cloze

I'm migrating from as2 to as3 and have a problem. I have a movieclip called papel_ilus which has loaded images inside with text and stuff. I found a Drag And Drop code that constrains the movement of the _x axis and have targeted the papel_ilus movieclip. However, when I click the images inside they are dragged separately from the whole movieclip I targeted and everything is a mess. Is there a way to drag the whole "pack" as one? Here is the code I'm using:
Code:
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
var leftY:int = 0;

I've a main movie with a container movieclip to load an external swf file. That's working fine but I want to control the movieclips of externally loaded movie. I tried the below method but not work out.
Script on the main movie
_root.holder.loadMovie ("1.swf", mytarget); // This is working fine
_root.holder.mytarget.<movieclipname of the externally loaded movie>.onRelease= function (){
// Do something.
}
But the above script not worked out.

I'm trying to reference a specific frame inside a MC in my .swf file from an .as file. What I want is to capture the current frame of the movie clip for the .as file. It's for the purpose of points when you shoot each plane. It's an easy trick of frame 1's plane would be worth 100 points, frame 2's plane 200 points, etc. I thought I'd write a line like this in my collision detection section of my .as file.
Code:
planePoints = currentFrame * 100;
The only problem is, of course, it grabs the current frame of the main .swf timeline that my flash file uses, and not the movieclip that's being called to produce the planes. So I thought I'd be able to specify a path to the movie clip (in this case it's called Airplane in the MC's linkage properties).
Code:
planePoints = Airplane.currentFrame * 100;
Then, of course, it freaks out and says that 'access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.'
I still get confused with AS3 and the way items are handled vs AS2. I've lost track of how many times I type _root. Am I getting something basic mucked up here or should I be importing something in the package to get it to recognize the class?

How can I target a movieclip that is inside each item in the array using getChildByName. Heres my code so far:

if(i< aMC.length){
var myTargetName:String = aMC[i].target.name;
var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
trace("Stamps Target: "+myTargetName);
if (evt.target.dropTarget != null && evt.target.dropTarget == myTarget) {
// do what ever here

How can I target an event target that is inside a movie clip?

ActionScript Code:

TweenMax.to(event.target, .2, {scaleX:1, scaleY:1});[code]..........
//This obviously doesn't work but it will provide an idea of what I'm trying to do:

TweenMax.to(MYPARENTCLIP.event.target, .2, {scaleX:1, scaleY:1});

Just wondering how this is done within an "if then" statement. I need a code like
if (_root.frame = "home") then {
this.quickHome.onPress = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("homeToContact");
}
}
I know the first line isn't going to work, but just wondering if someone knew of a code that would?

Ive got 2 swf files. A.swf and B.swf A.swf is my main page. When a button is pushed, B.swf is loaded into a target in A.swf.That's no problem. What I'm unsure about is this:I want to be able to click a button inside B.swf, which will tell "A" to load a different movie in "B's" place.

i just did the loading movie into target tutorial on this site [URL] it worked fine, but when i went to apply the function to a button inside my drop down menu movie clip nothing happened. i am assuming it has to do with the fact that the movie clip button and the main movie are on different timelines. I thought the _root function would tell it to load the movie in the main timeline and not the drop down menu movie clips timeline.

I'm working on a bit of flash that has some actionscript in it the randomly generates different snowflakes that move upwards on the stage. Problem is I need them to load into a target mc rather than on the top level of the main timeline and I don't know how to amend the code.
The code I'm using is:
snowNumber = 60;
var flakes:Array = new Array("flake1", "flake2", "flake3","flake4","flake5","flake6")
for (i=0; i<snowNumber; i++) {

I am trying to build a menu, that loads external swf to target movie clip, in the code below it works if I remove the line target removeChild, but then if a press the other button, just put it on top, so my actual problem is that if I don't have anything loaded in target, this code doesn't work because it can remove child?
menu.btn_avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goseccion);
menu.btn_professors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gofotos);
function goseccion(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var main:Loader = new Loader();
main.load(new URLRequest("seccion_basica.swf"));
target.removeChildAt(0);
target.addChild(main);

I have been loading an swf to target by using namedMC.loadmovie ("path+name", _levelN) altho I notice there is another method suggested here about using createEmptyMovieClip so it is all in script. Can anyone suggest a way of preloading all my separate swf files and then playing them at various specified points, like when the previous animation is finished/finishing. I have tried things like altering the _alpha and using namedMC.stop(); and namedMC.play(); but that aint working.

I'm looking for an alternative to using:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyFunction);
The problem I am encountering is that eventListener above works fine on its own(stand-alone swf), but when loading an .swf externally into another .swf, the listener fails with the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
How can you target the event listener when loading as an external .swf differently?

If I use an empty movie clip to load a series of images into,how do I get them to load in the center?The images are all different sizes.I think this is fine, if they loaded with the center of both the target clip and the image aligning.Upper left registration point for the target is not good.

I recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?

I am trying to have one single loader for different buttons to load their specific target. lets say I have btnOne and btnTwo, each of them have their page to link to, btnOne to pageOne, btnTwo to pageTwo, page one and two are external swfs. so can I load them into stage by sharing one single loader?
this is simply my script:
ActionScript Code:
var swfURL:String = ("external.swf");
btnOne.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);
btnTwo.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);
