im loading in a bunch of jpegs (which are ref from an xml file) but i cant seem to get the to function like buttons.
Code:
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myClip" + i, i);
[code].....
I wanted to know the method to do a dynamic loading of jpegs with click of a button with crossfade between the two jpegs
View 2 RepliesI have a file that dynamically loads JPEGs in two sizes (thumbnails and zoom). There is nothing in the AS concerning sizing, only loading and positioning.The site looked fine and now the pictures all have jagged edges to them (it's stained glass and the leading looks edgy instead of smooth). The photos that are loading look smooth upon uploading.I have them Publishing as, Flash Player 8, AS 2.0, JPEG Quality at 100, only Protect from Import is checked, I'm working in Flash CS4 on a Mac.
View 7 RepliesI am using PHP and XML to make a dynamic list of pictures. Each picture also has attributes with information concerning that picture. I have successfully loaded these images with the following code:

How to load a series of images locally from a folder and create a movie clip for each one dynamically?
View 2 RepliesI've used loadMovie() often in the short time I've been using Flash. But never to load a JPEG dynamically. For a site interface, I have little thumbnails, which open to new browser windows. This is partly annoying though, as each one opens in it's own window, so the user would have to close a whole bunch of 'em after clicking all those thumbnails. To try to fix this, I read that JPEGs can be loaded at runtime onto the stage. I've already seen the photo gallery tut, but I only require a pop-up window with one image and no left/right buttons, etc. I've tried following the tutorial for the first few steps, making a shape the size I want the images to be, converting it to an MC, and naming the MC instance on the stage.
Then, I created a new layer on frame 1 with Code:
loadMovie("CS_00_1.jpg", _root.picture);
But when testing it, I see nothing.
I've tried a few different things. Before, the fla was in a separate folder, so I had to include "Screens/" in the name. Just in case that was the problem (I didn't get any errors in the Output), I moved it into the directory with the images. I tried absolute and relative addressing. I opened up the image in PS and resized it to the size of the symbol on the stage and made sure it wasn't Progressive (I read in a thread that Flash doesn't load Progressive JPEGs), but still nothing. I even tried loading a file that didn't exist to make sure it was looking in the right place the other times (as it didn't give me any error).
I'm creating an image gallery and looking for a simple way to preload external jpegs (with % loaded) into an empty movie clip.I'm using thumbnails- there are no "next" or previous "buttons".[code]I've been googling/ searching all day.
View 1 Repliesmaking custom checkboxes/radio buttons. I have created one of each on the stage. The goal is to create each in a movie clip so that I can use them in various programs. As I am using these flash programs in an interface down the road, I have found myself to have trouble with the prebuild flash components. I would like to build my own. I would also like them to be able to only have one clicked at a time.
quick note: I have the buttons both changing their stages in movieclips. Frame 1 is the upstate and frame 2 is the down state.

View 4 Replieshi I have created an actionscript function which stops an animation on a specific frame which works fine. I have then loaded in a php file with a variable which will contain the number for the frame i want the animation to stop on. This has loaded in fine and i have loaded it in a function. what i cant seem to do is to get the variable into the function which tells the animation to stop playing.[code]

View 3 Replies I am attempting to revamp a website. The buttons that are currently being used are only gifs that are hyperlinked and there are almost 12 buttons... I think that this is a ridiculous amount of buttons to have. It looks very cluttered. So, I figured I should make 6 buttons and just fit the rest of the buttons into subcategorized buttons. And the way to do this is to create flash buttons with drop down menus. To see what I mean, go to this link and look at their buttons:
[URL]
Their buttons drop down into menus with sub-categories. I want to do this.
So far, I have gone into flash, created buttons and made graphics for the "Up" "Over" "Down" and "Hit". I have also added the menu buttons and graphics for the "Over" of each drop-down button-menu.
I have even provided the action script to link each button to where I need it to go.
HOWEVER, here is where the problem is. When I roll the mouse over the button, and then move the mouse down to click on one of the buttons in the drop down menu, the menu disappears, OF COURSE, because the mouse goes off the hit. I can't make the hit bigger, because the menu shouldn't open unless it's on the main button. But without the hit being bigger, the menu will always disappear.
IN ADDITION, I've never used flash buttons on a website before. I'm just using HTML. How do I link the button to the page? Do I save the file as a .swf flash file? And link to 6 different files? Or do I save the buttons in a line, and just use one link?
I have a document which is basically a catalogue page, and I'm trying to make it so that when you click on an image, a movieclip of the image fading in larger appears, so it will look essentially like it's been zoomed in. To do this I put the movieclip inside a button. I have the button working fine, when you click it, it does exactly what it's supposed to, but I have no idea how to set it so that when the button is clicked it stays in the 'down' position, so you don't have to hold the mouse down. And also how to get back to the main screen afterwards, since the movie does take up the entire stage when played. Is it possible to do this?

i'm making a few buttons to be interactive with each other, for example my question is based on this: I'm making a game where you can extract oil and sell it, but what i want to know is how can i show a text message when i hit a button? for example: Once i play the scene, i will have a few buttons (Buy, sell, check reserves) also i will have a few text fields which will be "linked" with these other ones for example if i click two times in BUY i want to have in the text field of OIL BOUGHT: 2 (this are the times i clicked before) Well,hope anyone can answer my question or at least recommend me an excellent book of AS3, i'm quite lost in this
View 1 RepliesI have some buttons on my timeline and I want something to be done when I mouse over (for example) my button. The buttons have instance names of b1, b2, b3 and so on. Actionscript I`m using (for the first button) is:
b1.onRollOver = function() {
//blah
}
Same code goes for other buttons, I only change instance name. It is easy to do as I have a few buttons but what if I want 100 or more? It should be an easier way instead of using copy/paste.. Tried to solve this problem using loop:
howmuchbuttons = 3;
for(i = 1; i != howmuchbuttons + 1; i++) {
_root["b"+i].onRollOver = function() {
//blah
}
}
but it didn`t work as I expected.

i have built a .flv video player and its working just fine but when it loads videos they start off stopped with a play button overlay so it has to be user initiated to start. Only problem is when they are paused at the beginning of the stream they are invisible. I have tried several things to make the video appear at the beginning but nothing works.
i have tried explicitally setting the visible and alpha props. they dont do anythign (the vid is already visible and alpha = 1 according to traces) i have tried seek(0.1) to seek ahead a bit - this doesn't work at all. tried playing and pausing the stream but that no workey either.
I am trying to make a gallery where I have index.swf call it (1) (main page) that loads gallery.swf call it (2) (by using a movie clip 'loader'). The gallery is width 2000 and scrolls when the mouse moves. When I click on one of the gallery photos, I want it to open up large but not scroll like the rest of the gallery. It is easiest to achieve if (2) asks (1) to open it in another 'loader'.Does such a function call (or something like that) exist?
Also - are these words used correctly: "(2) is the child while (1) is the parent" (or are those two words used only for objects inside the script?
I am using MovieClipLoader(); to load a SWF on to the stage like this.
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("swf/button1.swf","mcButton");
Now I want to make the loaded SWF clickable so I have added the following code:
mcButton.onRelease = function() {
trace("Hello World");
};
I thought that would work but it doesn't.

I am attempting to make a flash website, and have 5 buttons on my menu. I made 5 pages in a movieclip called "content". I want to know how I can link those buttons to go to those pages (actionscript and where to put it).
I have seen flash website templates, and see only ONE button, but when I looked at it in an .swf, it shows all buttons with their specific text label.
this is probably a daft question but I'm a complete novice so bear with me. I need to know if it's possible to upload a picture to my Flash stage (a row of buttons I made in photoshop) and then somehow select each of these buttons and turn them into working button symbols? Or do I have to (very annoyingly) upload each button as a seperate picture in a seperate layer before turning it into a button symbol?
