ActionScript 2.0 :: Method To Create An Empty Clip?
Jul 13, 2004
c_mc2 = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("main_text", 4);
c_mc2._x = 0;
c_mc2._y = 359;
If i use this method to create an empty clip and then once i am done with the clip i unload the movie which was previously in it, what happens to the clip. Do i have to re-create it if i want to reuse the empty movie clip again with the same name?

I am trying to make a photo gallery in as3. I found a tutorial for a scrolling thumbnail panel and found how to convert it to as3.
What I would like to know is how do you get the larger image to display when the user clicks on a thumbnail in the scrolling panel? (I have 8 thumbnails, and 8 larger images).
ActionScript Code:
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
function panelOver(event:MouseEvent):void {

I am trying to migrate as2 to as3 code.The normal solution to my problem involves using the first parameter of the createEmptyMovieClip() as the name of your movie clip. In several instances I have a dynamic value for this first parameter- so my question is How should I go about doing this?
//my code
function someFunction (){
loader_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("text"+value, value);[code]......

I am using CS4 and ActionScript 2.0.I am trying to create a photo gallery.I have created 4 different movie clip buttons that reside on the content layer.Each button consists of one image.When the movie clip button is pressed, I want the full size image to appear on the stage next to the buttons.You can see the buttons in the image below.I am trying to create an empty movie clip holder that would reside on the main timeline while the buttons reside on the content layer.I need to get the images to load into the empty movie clip and then unload when the next button is selected?I can't seem to get the buttons to "talk" to the empty movie clip holder.I did manage to create code for an empty movie clip holder within each button, but then I end up with all four images on top of each other.

I have a loaded swf via the enpty mc method...the usual. this loaded swf has 3 frames - "off", "slow" and "fast" - so depending on whether the user is on the "presentation" page (lots of stuff going on and needs the external swf to be on the "slow" frame) ok, I have no problem controlling the swf....i can make it go to the frames ok. heres the problem, when the user is NOT on the presentation page, i need the the loaded swf to be on the "fast" frame. heres the code i used but doesn't work as i expected.

(Whoops - ALMOST solved - one last issue below!) I've got two buttons, one shared movie clip. The two buttons each load two different movies. All I want to do is TOTALLY CLEAR OUT whatever movie is loaded from one button whenever I press the other to load its cargo into the movie clip.
This seems like it should be so easy to do, but there's always a remnant of the first movie left in this.How do I empty the whole thing while still keeping the shared movie clip (which the two buttons/movies share) in place?

Using the web services panel, I've connected to a web service, but all the method calls will only show the param structures/types - not the result structures/types. To the best of my knowledge, I'm sending the right parameters, in the right structure, but always I get an empty response.The web services panel:
Debugger results (with breakpoint placed just after a response is received):

I created a movie clip of a photo gallery that works fine until I test it and get to the frame that the movie clip is on. After doing so, the movie clip stays throughout any other page I click on. I can't get the removeMovieClip function to work.
Here's the code I have:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
var imagesNumber:Number = 5;
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {

Okay...
At the _root I have an instance using an empty clip named mainPageEmptyClip. Inside of that, are various other movies.
Now, at the _root there is a menu which, when clicked, should access one of the layers within the empty clip's content.
The problem here is that I can't discern what the target would be to actually access the clip. The action worked fine before I implemented the empty clip, but now it won't work any longer.
I've tried using the target tool built into FlashMX, but it doesn't list any of the instances withing mainPageEmptyClip - that's as far as it goes. I've tried entering in what would seem to be the path, based on the instance names of subordinate movies, but it does me no good - I'm continually given the error of Target Not Found.
These are the two options I've tried....
_root.mainPageEmptyClip.gotoAndPlay(351);
_root.mainPageEmptyClip.webLayer.gotoAndPlay(156);

I'm trying to load images into a row of images. Each image is a different width. Heres the code so far:
Code:
var xPos:Number = 0;
for (y=0; y<5; y++) {
var container:MovieClip = this.holder.createEmptyMovieClip("picholder"+y,y);
container.loadMovie("mypic.jpg");
container._x = xPos;
xPos += container._width;
}
The problem at the moment is that the container._width property is reading 0 so all the images are loading on top of each other. This is the same with "picholder"+y. If I set the xPos value to say 100 then it works fine. I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that the loadMovie happens after the var container is defined. Whats a way around this?
Also just while I'm posting whats the correct syntax for something like this:container.loadMovie("mypic" + (y) +".jpg");

I am trying to create and delete empty movies that I can load external .swfs into. While the below works if I get rid of
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
I can't work out how to dynamically name the empty movies, as the below just comes up with errors. I'm pretty new to AS3 and stuck. Any ideas?
var myNum = 0;
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
function loadNew (myNum){
