I have a movie into which I am loading external swfs. this all works fine but some of the content is duplicated and where there is slimline text it shows that there are two layers. see the header on white here:
how can i set the alpha to 0 or remove the host movieclip, from the externally loaded swf. does that make sense? so once the external swf has loaded into the empty movieclip then the parent movie disappears.
I have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){

how to make a movieclip invisible so I can use it as an invisible button?
View 3 RepliesCan we make something, ie a close button, that onRelease will close the parent Movieclip, regardless of the name of that parent? I'm going to need a lot of close buttons, and I don't like the idea of coding each to close the relevant MC. I've done a bit of experimenting, but not had any luck yet.

I know this sounds stupid, but I've worked like all the time with Flash 2004 and Flash MX. Now I got CS3, and I want to do the following. I made a MP3 player, but I want to make a 'play' icon visible when the music plays and the 'pause' icon visible when it's paused. Therefor the 'play' icon needs to be invisible,

Since I animated the movie clip(mc), I no longer see each MC and there are multiple of them. How do I select one MC and drill down to modify some animation?

View 3 RepliesI am looking for ActionScript 2 code that makes a movie clip disappear when a user moves their mouse over a particular area and then have the movie clip reappear when the mouse leaves that area.
ie. if the mouse is within _x.50 , _x.200, _y.50 , and _y.200 the mc is invisible, else its visible.
I think it would be some kind of "if" statement but I don't know syntax on how to code this.
What action script would i need to make a button in one movie clip goto and play a frame in another movie clip? Im not very good at flash but i've been trying my usual codes but it dont work..
View 2 RepliesI have two movie clips on top of each other. The one underneath is a button and the first movieclip is not always no top of it so everything is fine, the bottom one listens for Clicks and Mouse.ROLL_OVER just fine. However whenever the first movie clip moves and happens to stop overtop the button, that is where the problems begin.
Is there any way for me to make the movie clip on top somehow cause the ROLL_OVER to get through to the underlying movie clip as well as the clicks?
i have an issue with a flash tweening project i am working on..I am using flash tweening and i have an invisible button inside a movie clip, and i have actionscript for the invisible button.. but when i click on the button, nothing happens..
View 1 RepliesThis is a very simple thing I want to do: show informational popups when an area of the screen is rolled over. I was able to get this working in action script 3 with MouseEventListener and the visible =true/false property but can't seem to get it working correctly in AS2.
View 2 RepliesI've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) { gotoAndPlay(21);}
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.
Im trying to control a movie clip that is part of a swf from another swf file. For example. My main flash file is called index.swf. this flash files loads another flash file called image.swf within image.swf are several movie clips (mc_1, mc_2) that I need to control show hide. I need to do so directly from index.swf.This would be flash 9 action script 2.Here is the code i am trying to work with. "filter" is a movieclip on index.swf. mc_1 and so on are movie clips on image.swf. What is the path i need to define before "mcfadeTo..."[code]
View 6 RepliesI have a swf which contains a main menu bar along the top which has been added dynamically at run time. ALl the controls for this bar live inside btnHold One of these buttons loads in a new swf. There is a button within this second swf that I want to use to control the main menu bar in the top layer (I want to make it invisible for a time, or get its layer and then ensure that its not too high etc etc)However, I just can't work out how to target this btnHold from within the newly loaded swf.
View 2 Repliesthis is weird, ive tried all my resources and cant come up with the solution.
heres the heirarchy
Main Stage
sampleStage_mc (this contains all my samples)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (this is the movieclip that houses my buttons)
............................................
what i want to happen is when you click on one of the button_mc, i want it to target a frame label on the "sampeStage_mc" timeline.
heres my code:
Actionscript Code:
toshibaBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toshibaSample);function toshibaSample(evtObj:MouseEvent) { parent.gotoAndPlay("toshiba");}
theres four timelines, here is the outline
button_mc (i click this and it runs the code in sampleStageNavigation timeline)
sampleStageNavigation_mc (timeline that holds the ActionScript and the button_mc)
sampleStage_mc (timeline - this is the one I need to access)
main stage (timeline)
Within ninja.swf, there are six scenes, and in the later 5 scenes, there is an movie clip (consule2)with has a halfdozen buttons (of which one is home_btn) that serve as the navigation across the site. So, in the consule2, I set up an Actions layer, and for Home_btn, have created this piece of code:
//Home Buttonfunction gotodsHome(event:MouseEvent):void{ MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("FullLoaded","01_Landing_Page");}Home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotodsHome);
[code]......
function loadProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (MovieClip(parent).bytesLoaded*100)/MovieClip(parent).bytesTotal );
[code]...
I have movie clip A and move clip B (in the root). Move clip A load data form external swf. The swf also load data from xml (the data is xml file name) till here work perfectly.What I want is, to pass the xml file name from the move clip A swf to movie clip B on button click. What Movie clip B do is load the xml file passed from the move clip A swf.
View 2 RepliesI am attaching one Movie Clip to another using addChild [code]...
The problem is that when I use MovieClip(parent).mc2 the flash assumes that I call the stage, while I want to call the mc1.
I use only a document class file for this project (not object-oriented approach)
I need to be able to load/change a movie within the main container using a button within a subcontainer if that makes sense?
Ive had problems before with loading and unloading movies eventually breaking the damn thing.
How can I change what movie clip an object is contained in after it has been added to the stage? I want a movie clip to start out in the main stage but them move into another movie clip so that when I move the containing movie clip the sub clip moves as well.

What is the code to make you jump to a "Label" in a parent movie clip, when clicking on a button.Lets say the buttons name is push_btn and I am in mc2 and the label is located in mc1.
View 8 RepliesI am using the following code to rotate movieclips with a nice 3d flip effect. var flipTween:Tween = new Tween(mc,"rotationY",Strong.easeIn, mc.rotationY,mc.rotationY + 180,time,true)
However the rotationY is relative to the stage not the parent movieclip of mc.I.e: If the rotation effect on the movieclips looks different depending on where on the stage they are. I know that with the roation tool in cs4 you can rotate relative to the parent movie clip, how can you do this in AS3 code.
I use the method addChild() to add a Movie Clip intoa nother one.mc1.addChild(mc2);But once the Movie Clip is added (and the second Movie Clip is higher than the first one) then it's displayed outside the first Movie Clip. Is there a way to prevent to display outside the parent?
