ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Loaded Movieclip Hide Initially?
Aug 31, 2009
I'm loading a dozen or so external .swf movies in the 1st frame of my movie in the timeline which are to be initially hidden and shown to display page content when necessary along the rest of the timeline. My problem is that when I load them in, they all automatically display on the 1st frame. Here's is the code I'm using:
Code:
var keyC:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("keyC", getNextHighestDepth());
keyC = loadMovie("data/Key C.swf", keyC);
keyC._visible = false;
[Code].....
It's as if the _visible commands aren't working in the 1st frame but are in the rest of the timeline. Perhaps I need to use an onLoad method to wait until each MC can be manipulated this way?

everytime I look for ways of sending back to XML changes produced in Flash, the tutorial always assume that we are using a server. Is there a way for having a Flash projector that everytime it starts 1-checks for data to load to the projector 2- lets us do changes to data (add, change and remove xml data) 3- and in the end we can save the changes made to the XML file that was initially loaded?

I'm trying to make a simple animated movieclip act as a preloader for a larger website, and have its play reflect the percentage that has been loaded. I've seen a lot of code for various preloaders that involve text or a movieclip being scaled, but not anything regarding controlling the playhead of a movieclip.
This is what I thought would work. PreLoaderMC is the class name of a MovieClip symbol in the .fla's library. I've omitted the Loader stuff [code]...

I am trying to use load movie to pull in an external Flash file. ALl the external file is, is an image with a dynamic text field. My XML is
<feedbackImage xloc="100" yloc="200">feedbackHolder.swf</feedbackImage>
In Flash right after the XML loads I have
imgfeedback = myFeedback[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
feedbackHolder_mc.loadMovie(imgfeedback);
feedbackHolder_mc._visible=false
When Flash runs, the loaded swf shows up inside the holder and I am able to control the functionality of it....except I can't hide it. the _visible wont work. So I tried feedbackHolder_mc.unLoadMovie, which did hide it, but when I went to load again, the text I was trying to pass into the text box didn't show up. Basically I want this loaded and then hidden until a user gets feedback, at which time the loaded swf becomes visible. Hoping I can use the visible property.

I've found lots of answers on making a button visable after a swf has loaded but not a flv. I am preloading an flv, well 20secs of it, then it starts playing. But I have a 'play' button on the stage and it sits there tempting people to hit it whilst the preloading bar works its magic preloading the flv. I want the button to be visable only after the flv has loaded or at least until it starts to play.[code]

I'm loading data into a Flash application via XML, which is in the same directory as the swf file on the server, and would like to prevent the XML from being viewed in a browser. I was assuming I could set the XML's permissions to allow Owner and Group read and prevent Others from reading (UNIX 770), but when I do that the XML won't load.
I thought about using an .htaccess file but I don't want a password dialog to pop up when the swf requests the XML. Is there a way of doing this via permissions?

I'm trying to hide the progressBar after the video loaded completely. To do that i use this line:
ActionScript Code:
my_FLVPlybk.bufferingBar._visible = false;
trace(my_FLVPlybk.bufferingBar); // outputs undefined
The problem is i can't reach to the reference of the bufferingBar. So i can't hide it.Is there a way to hide the bufferingBar?

Myapp loads an external swf and adds it to MovieClip.External swf movie has elements that are placed outside the stage (they go on the stage during swf playing). But after loading that elements are visible in the main MovieClip.In other words, it looks like the whole space outside the stage is visible as well as the stage.How to hide elements outside the stage of loaded swf?

Any way to set the text that initially appears within a ComboBox without actually making it a selection? I have a ComboBox that initially starts out with one selection labeled "Select One". When you click on the ComboBox, the first selection in the list is "Select One". Is there a way to tell the ComboBox to just say "Select One" when it first hits the stage without making it editable?

Does anyone know why Flash videos do not cache when Initially downloaded.
If you wait for a flash video to download filly then refresh the browser the video shows the download bar loading again. Unlike images where the download bar only appears when you first load the image after that its cached in the browser.[url]...

I'm trying to create a global variable that initially stores a 0. Then via a function will change the value of that global variable, and allow the other functions to access the new number. I have it working where it adds 1 to the variable, and stores the number 1 however, I cannot get the number to add up beyond 1.
I have this in my first layer,frame.
_global.thisSound = 0;
function PlaySound(){
temp = _global.thisSound;
_global.thisSound = eval(temp) + 1;
}
Please note this is the basics of this function, there are other parts to the function for playing sounds, but this is the only part that I'm having the problem

How do you make a mouse hide after it's been inactive (say for 3 seconds), then appear again once it's active? I know Mouse.hide(); but I don't know how to check for mouse activity to tell it to run that code, or to tell it to show it again once it's moved.

i've got a main home page in flash coded in AS2 that first loads up 8 thumbnails when you click on one it goes into fullscreen mode and loads images dynamically side by side that you can pan through with your mouse.the problem is is that i am using the setBackground(); and it is not scaling the Loader components inside my movie clip correctly initially, it is scaling them down yet when i resize the window it scales them perfectly.Here is my AS to scale:
ActionScript Code:
// this tells Flash NOT to allow the assets to be scaled
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

Can i hide or make a MC invisible when rolling out from a button or another MC?

I will have to explain this in steps. I have a flash website, inside it I have the content on frame 2 (frame 1 = preloader) from there I have a content_mc which holds my pages. I have a home page (frame labeled home) which inside displays the home_mc. In here I have inserted a flvPlayback component. Here's where the problem is. I have moved a stop and volume component on it as wel which has automatically linked up (which is nice). But I would like when I click the stop button, the video disappears. The videoPlayback is called "introVid", the instance name is "vid", and is residing within the "home" mc.
I know the code is something like:
this.visible = false;
or
movieclip(root).home.vid/introVid.visible = false;
or I have also seen people using visibility = false...
However I cannot find out how to link this with the flvPlayback Stop button component. Inside the button all I can find is: The 4 button states,
some code on stop button itself:
stop();
this.upLinkageID="StopButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID="StopButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID="StopButtonDown";
this.disabledLinkageID="StopButtonDisabled";
I require to put my actionscript on the press or release, but I cannot find out to do this, I assume the code at the moment is calling a "flash component class" which holds the actions for "stopButtonDown" or something, I did have a go at manually creating a mc and a button, and making that stop the flvPlayback, and hiding the movieClip, but with no luck.

There is something I have been trying to figure out how to do, I keep running into needing a simpler bit of code to hide all the movieclips except the one that was just made visible. My only idea so far is to manually input all the movieclip names and tell them whether or not to be visible. It works, but it creates a lot of code and is time consumming to change. I hope there is a way to use just one or two lines of code and hide all but the currently selected movieclips.
