ActionScript 2.0 :: Manipulating The Imported Movies?
Oct 28, 2005
I have a list of external movies. I want to import them only once and then use them as many times as I want. I need to attach them to other clips the same way I would attach them if they were in my current library with linkage option on.suppose i have a movie called s1.swf in the same location with my movie. then I have this code:
Code:
function createObj(objname, whichMc, level) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(objname, level);
_root[objname].createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1);
[code]...
I don't know why the event handler for the movie "mc" is not invoked ... I have no trace record in the outpus window.

i have a photography website, the main 'index.swf' file has two scenes, one for the loader and one with the content.i have a navigation menu:item 1, item 2, item 3, and so on. i have 10 layers, my nav menu is on layer 10, at the very top.i also have a a layer for each one of my navigation menu content. Now i click on item 2, and i load a external movie clip called "fotos_mc" on to the stage and inside this movie clipe i load pic1.swf using: loadMovie ("pic1. swf", 1);it loads fine, except that it loads on top of my navigation menu, logo and so on, even it's on a layer that's under the layer where i have placed my menu and logo. is there a way that i have load my movie so that it displays behind my menue?

I got two questions in my mind. The first one is which is a better format for importing a movie? Should I use QUICKTIME or other formats?
Now the second one is a little bit confusing. Let's say I have successfully imported any movie to my FLA file, I was wondering if their is a way to PRELOAD half of the entire movie before actually playing it, that way, audience won't wait for a very long time if needed.

I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far

I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
[Code]...
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?

So I have a simple as3 project i'm creating in FlashDevlop and I was hoping to create the layout as a simple swf thats loaded in then move the assets where they need to go. Things like roll over states would be stored on different frames to make it nice and easy for designers so they don't have to know flash. And loading it is no problem but how do you target the movie clips inside it or how do you even attach it to the root? When I say target I mean as in how would I target it to change say the height or width. I know this is broad question so even pointers to a good FAQ or example project would be helpful. I spent a little time on google but all im finding is how to load a SWF not how to deal with it afterwards.

How do you address a mc attached to another mc?I have an array of movie clips some of which I have attached additional movie clips to. Now I need to alter scale/alpha etc of those additional movie clips.[code]How do I now manipulate the "ExtraMC" movie clips? I know I can use parent to get at the parent mc but how do I get at the "child" when names are dynamically created as above?

I have a menu with 5 menu items that when an item is selected, the non-selected items need to be moved. All are movie clips. When user selects item 1, the remaining items will slide underneath item 1. I want to make a custom function so as to alleviate unnecessary code. I am moving the MC's with tween class.

ie.

How do I now manipulate the "ExtraMC" movie clips? I know I can use _parent to get at the parent mc but how do I get at the "child" when names are dynamically created as above?

I want to dynamicly add images from XML to movieClips and then add event listeners to these movieClips. What is the best solution? XMl loads correctly, it also add 2 movieclips on stage, but it throws errors when I try to add event listeners to movieClips. How could I do that? I want to go to different frames on release of some movieClips. How can I please recognise each movieClip and manipulate with that movieClip ? (resizing,...)

I have a rather unusual problem. I've got an Array consisting of ten different MovieClips (all pre-placed on the stage), and would like to be able to manually use the gotoAndStop and gotoandPlay commands on these via the array. I've tried ActionScript Code: //This script does not work IconArray[1].gotoAndStop(1); however it simply throws out an error. Is such precise manipulation of MovieClip arrays even possible, and if so, how would I code it? (Nb: I've looked at the ForEach method, but couldn't find a way to make it sit my current dilema).

I am working with a site that's similar to : [URL]. When you click on Wedding Site and then go to the gallery, you will see the pics loading full screen and the navigation bar on top of the pics. What I have done is I have made each one of this pics a separate .swf file so
they load individually once they are called using the " loadMovie("pic1.swf") code line. On layer 10 (being at the very top) I have my menu so it will always display on top
of anything else. Now on layer 3, frame x I have a movieclip called : fotos_mc,
inside this fotos_mc on layer 1, frame 1 I call the swf using the code above:
"loadMovie(pic1,swf");
However when the picture loads, it covers the full screen on top of my navigation menu, on top of my logo etc. Which I dont understand why if the layer where I have placed my fotos_mc is under layer 10 which contains my menu and my logo.

I am trying to make a card game.
The main fla file loads an external swf file that is a movie clip that has the card art images (one card art on each frame)
This works good and I can view the loaded swf on the stage.
public function FinishedLoading(loadEvent:Event):void {
LoadedMovie = MovieClip(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
addChild(LoadedMovie);
}
What I want to do in another function is to duplicate the load swf, so that I can have 52 of the same object, each with a different picture. I need to know how to create an instance of the loaded swf.
I would like to control each instance of the loaded swf by telling each one independently of each other to go to and stop at a specific frame such as 3 or 17, or 43, based on what card is needed at that time.
This code creates an error:
var NewCard:MovieClip = new LoadedMovie();

i retrieve a list of instances located in a array to manipulate them in a variable holder. Normally, the operations can be made between two instances stored in a simple variable to variable fashion and it works realy fast.I analysed two main operations: retrieving references in a array to a variable and get or set a value from the variable reference.Here are the objects used to perform the test operation:
var v4:Vector.<Person>= new Vector.<Person>();//List of Persons instance
var refHolder:Person; //Typed referencevar refHolder2:*; //Not typed reference
Test #1: looping 200 000 times and only retrieving references from the array v4.[code]........
So my conclusion with that test is that with a typed reference you spend more time assigning a reference than manipulating a value from the reference With a not typed reference, the time spent is in manipulating the reference in the variable.Which one should i use or what should i do to have better performance with manipulating references from arrays?
Here are the files i used to test this:
reference.swf //Online example
reference.zip //Source file

I drew up some graphic symbols in Illustrator and imported and defined them as MovieClips in the Flash library. That way I could just place them where I want to visually on the stage. As I have been solidifying the visual design, I have been implementing it in Actionscript to access the flexibility the code provides.
In order to port a symbol to actionscript I did the following:

I have a project where the user uploads a large 300dpi image, then manipulates it (drag it, rotate it, position it). And the user can reuse this 300 dpi image, basically to make something like a t-shirt pattern. Then when the user is ready, they save this t-shirt pattern, and the save format is a large 300dpi png. This saved png file is for printing. Now I figure I can have PHP take bitmap data (as binary I assume) and the php can create the png. Is it a good idea to use Flash for this? I will have to scale down the users loaded 300dpi image so they can position. Then I assume scale it back up when it comes time to save Does anyone think Flash can't handle this?

I've got a project that heavily utilizes the new 3d artwork tools in Flash CS4. My question is has anyone done any tests to see if Flash is quicker with raster or vector graphics? My SWF really bogs down on slower machines.

I've been handed a few Flash files written in CS4, but in ActionScript 2. I know enough ActionScript to be dangerous, but I am far from a Flash developer.
At the high level, the Flash file loads an image, rotates a portion of the center of the image, and allows the user to drag the rotated piece into the proper position (solving a puzzle, basically).
This worked GREAT when the images were loading from the local server. We've changed to remote cloud hosting for the images, though, and now are experiencing issues.
The images still load (we have all of the security and cross-domain policy files in place), but any time we try to rotate the center portion of the image we get a plain gray box instead of the rotated portion of the image.
What's weirder is that the rotated image portions show up fine in the IDE Flash player. But when viewed through a web browser the static portion of the image will load, but the rotated portion will not.

I want to add multiple rectangles to the stage and manipulate them on an individual basis. Here is my code:
<code>
var rectangle:Shape = new Shape;
rectangle.name = "firstrectangle";
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);

I get an error back that says firstrectangle and secondrectangle are undefined.

I am having trouble with some code, I am trying to get a circle to rotate around a center point, as well as rotate in a circle. at the same speed as its parent circle. however I am having some trouble, and I know it is from how I am transforming the position of its matrix, however I honestly can not find the mistake. below is the code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
var outcirc: Sprite= new Sprite();

I've got an image slider that I'm trying to convert to external classes (OOP and everything). I've got four bars on stage (bar1, bar2, etc.) and I'm shifting them left and right from a "Shifter" class through library linkage. I can get the individuals to shift, but I want more than one to shift (click the right-most one and all open, click the left-most one and only it opens). Like an accordion, basically. I'm new to OOP, and I can't access the individual instances. So far, I can trace the instances using:
for (var i:int=0; i < numChildren; i++) { trace(getChildAt(i).name)}
(and get: instance1, instance2, etc.)
How do I record the instance into my external class? Something like:
(very rough example)
var bar1:Object = getChildAt(i);
var bar2:Object = getChildAt(i + 1);
etc, etc
I've tried pushing them into an array. No luck.

This should hopefully just be a quickie. I'm slowly starting to learn Flash and Actionscript and right now I'm a bit more stuck than usual. I have an array, "container", to which new movieclips are added by clicking a button. When they are added they are given a name, "pic" + i, and are added at the corresponding index "i". Now, what if I want to change the position of a certain movieclip in the array or alter its alpha value? I tried something like:

I have been able to draw rudimentary shapes on the main timeline by importing this class on the main timeline (first frame) and plugging in the requisite parameters.[code]When I have created movieclips without actionscript, then attached AS 2 classes to them I can manipulate them. If there is not a way that I can manipulate AS-generated clips on the main timeline, is this doable from within the class?
