ActionScript 2.0 :: Mask A Clip.loadMovie(picture.jpg); [FMX2004]?
May 8, 2004
Im loading several thumbnails from out of a database into flash, everything is stored as it should. Then i create a Rectangle called "mc_mask". This one is created as it should with the correct values. Then im looping through this for(){}. As you can see im duplicating a movieclip "mc_thumb_holder" then eval them to my array, there im loading in a Movie with .loadMovie(thumb); Now when i set the rectangle as a mask on each of the duplicated movieclips it wont work. So my question is:

I've got the code for circle on an image (mask). I've got it in my first frame and I need do something else in 2nd frame but after the movie in 1st frame is finished.
Code:
//This container contains all the circles that act as a mask for the picture
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
//Assign the container to be the image's mask
picture.mask = container;
//Add the container to the stage
addChild (container);
/*
This timer is responsible for creating a circle every 0.05 seconds. A total of 20 circles will be created.
*/
var timer = new Timer(50,20);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, createMaskBall);
timer.start ();
//The timer calls this function every 0.05 seconds
function createMaskBall (e:Event):void {

I've got this interactive storybook that loads each page from separate swf files into a movie clip. The movie clip is masked, and with every turn of the page, the mask changes shape so it looks like the pages are covering up the content. Once the page turn is complete, we're supposed to be left with two fresh pages so we can load more content.
Here's my dilemma: It seems the movieclip unloads itself when the mask enters a new keyframe. I don't know how to work around this. I've tried making a separate movie clip out of the mask, and animating it on its own timeline, but that hasn't worked. Nothing else reacts this way to a moving mask. [URL]

I have a code that duplicates a movie clip that then falls across a picture. They are sort of like water drops on a window but I want the picture to only be seen through the water drops. My problem is I can't get more than one drop to mask the picture at a time. I have tried code in the duplicated MC and I have tried pasting a bunch of instances to the stage and creating a mask later. Please help me out. The following is the code of the duplicated movie clip where _root.drop is the falling mask and _root.bg is the picture I want to see through the drops.[code]

is it possible to have a mask over this script:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMC", 1);
_root.emptyMC._x = 25;
_root.emptyMC._y = 25;[code]....
what it does is load a picture and centers it, what would be nice is to have a mask over it....

AS3 Movie clip does not have .setMask() method, but it has .mask property. What is the syntax to set a mask on movie clip A (mcA) using movie clip B (mcB) mith .mask parameter in AS3?
mcA.setMask(mcB); // does not work in AS3 (no setMask() method any more)
mcA.mask = mcB; //does not do the job either

I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}
[code]........
but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.

(using actionscript 2.0) I have a mc titled 'mc_othersitterimage1' Within 'mc_othersitterimage1' I have one layer with a simple shape that measures 85px x 85px, and I have another layer that has this actionscript on it:
Code:
this.loadMovie(perfectsitterimageURL1);
this._width = 30;
this._height = 30;
('perfectsitterimageURL1' is a variable for an image url. All of the images are NOT the exact same size.) I'd like the image to load in the center of my 85x85 pixel square. I have the registration point in the center of 'mc_othersitterimage1', but it still doesn't seem to work

when running an SWF some variables are being changed and objects created.If I wanted to restart the clip I have to restore all the variables to their starting values, clear all Intervals if any and destroy the objects created at runtime.If instead I load the clip into itself using [code]
1. what is the difference between loadMovie(swf_file_name, this) and loadMovieNum(swf_file_name, 0) in this context and which one is preferable?
2. Both obviously reset the values. But do these functions perform rubbish collection, i.e. free memory of the objects created at previous run-time, clear Intervals etc to prevent memory leak and processor clogging ?

I have a main movie, and I have an external movie. I have a button in my main movie and an empty movie clip. When you hit the button, it loads the external movie in the empty mc. That external movie is 90 seconds long, but I want it to unload and go back to the main movie when its finished. I think I need to put something in the actual movie clip so that when it gets to end, it removes the movie clip and that disappears.
Whats the best way to achieve this? Should I make it invisible? Or unload movieclip? or is there a remove movieclip?

I have a flash document that is calling an .swf file into a movie clip via the .loadmovie command. The .swf plays all the way through in the movie clip, but it has problems with the "play again" button at the end. It is not letting go of all the actions from the first play and doesn't reload properly. The .swf restarts perfectly by itself, it uses this code to replay:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
but once the .swf is loaded into the main flash file, the "play again" button doesn't work anymore.
I can apply to the button at the end of the .swf that will allow it to replay when it is loaded into the movieclip in the main .fla file?

I have searched this forum and can't seem to find an answer. I'm loading an external movieclip inside an empty movie clip. But when the clip loads, I can see all my graphics that i have placed outside the stage area, that i want animating in.
I understand I can use a mask, but i feel like the mask is slowing my animation down because of how big it is. There must be another way.

How do you do loadMovie into an empty movie clip automatically, without a silly butto push or anything?I've got a movie. I want to include another movie when the .swf file loads (so I can use a preloader on the movie that's being loaded).So, in my timeline, on a layer called banner, I have an empty movie clip I've made, with the following code:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
loadMovie("topbar.swf", "_root.barHolder");
}
topbar.swf is the name of the movie that's being called.barHolder is the instance name for the movie clip I want it to load to. So why isn't this working?

I haven't been able to find documentation on why loaded movies via 'loadMovie' into another movie clip don't seem to obey onEnterFrame commands. The following code represents a movie clip, 'container', which has a loaded external .swf file, 'box.swf'.
I have set the container to begin a decreasing alpha change. I've also added a trace to see if the onEnterFrame is performing at all. What happens is that the box does not appear to have an alpha change. There is, however, a trace that returns an output of '100' only. But no other numbers, suggesting that the command has stopped.
// Start
container.loadMovie("box.swf");
container.onEnterFrame = function () {

I am doing a simple loadmovie, bringing an external swf into a holder clip that is empty.
here is my code. I have it placed on frame one INSIDE the holder clip:
PHP Code:
_root.pages.weddingholder.loadMovie("wedding_section.swf",this);
The external movie loads, but the issue is HOW it loads. The swf is 643x394 and looks fantastic by itself. When it is loaded into the holder clip though, it scales it and makes it much taller and wider than the actual external SWf is, and is messing the way it looks up.

I am trying to make a flash app where you click a movie clip (a picture frame) and a picture gallery pops up.Here is what I have so far. Click the Picture Frame movie clip and a shape tweens (for 24 frames) out to make the background for the gallery and I have a new key frame with a picture on it and left and right buttons. Then I have key frames following the first picture that just have images in them.At this point I use stop(); on that frame and stop the movieclip on the first picture. Now I'm trying to get the buttons to go forwards and backwards. It seems an easy enough task, I just can't figure out how to get the currentFrame and the totalFrames for my movie clip symbol.[code]I have also noticed that even when I replace the entire function with nextFrame (); it only restarts the movie clip symbol from the shape tween up to the first keyframe with a picture.

I have Flash CS4 and I'm developing an RPG game. My goal is to dynamically change the weapon/armor the main hero has on according to what the player has on. I think the term is paper dolling. Basically I want to be able to set a point in which a graphic (movie clip/w.e) can be place permanently and I can load images to it via actionscript 3. I want the point to stay on the hero becuase I plan to move him and animate him and I want to be able to have it so that all it takes is me loading an image to the hero so it will basically "mask" over him. Hope you guys understand what I'm saying, I'm having a hard time figuring this out.

I'm looking for a function for a random moving clip (devined x position) with lets say 5 secons interval, that is also functioning as a mask. But the clips that need to be masked should change in opacity in stead of vissible or not vissible.
