i get problems @ this line... "contents.loadMovie(mc);" instead of just loading the movie, it automatically plays. and the code after it don't even get analyzed. pointers
[Code]....
i'm wondering if i can activate the loadMovie function without button press. usually you see loadMovie utilized like so:
on (release) {
_root.emptyMC.loadMovie("yourmovie.swf");
}
but i'm trying to utilize it so when the user enters the page on the very first frame, the external SWF is loaded into the empty movie clip already. i tried inserting
_root.topSection.loadMovie("topSection.swf", _root.topSection);
in an actions layer on the very first frame of my movie, but when tested nothing is loaded.
i am using a simple loadmovie and it works fine on my computer and another one i checked but there it doesnt run on all computers. and they do have flash player 9. i trued to change the sctionscript to 1 and it still isnt working and i have no idea why. i also dubble checked that the files are all in the correct folder and they are.
View 4 Replies[URL]The movie I'm loading in is actually 2 frames long, and upon loading it in, I want to goto the second frame..I thought a simple moviename.gotoAndStop(2); would do it, but alas, does not work!
View 1 RepliesI am doing up a photo gallery as a pet project using only actionscript. So far I have been successful in achieving the objectives that I want. However, moving forward, I intend to make the flash photo gallery easy to customise and want to add in a XML config file for flashh to reference.Here is where I am facing some problems. I managed to get Flash to read the XML data w/o a problem. The catch is how can I know when the XML file is loaded before I render the other movie objects (which require the settings in the config file)?
eg.
file_xml = new XML();
//Load XML file
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;
//Parse the XML data
[code]....
Is there a way for Flash to listen to when I can start using the config values?
I'm trying to load an existing webpage using the loadMovie command into an empty movieclip.
I thought this would be easy, but I can't seem to get the code to work and have tried several variations of the code below....
//catrun_mc=the empty movieclip//
catrun_mc.loadMovie.getURL("http://www.website.html");
On to the problem: I have a very simple flash, basically just a photo slideshow. The issue I'm having is this: I have a bunch of photos on the timeline, but I have a button on top of everything, just to give viewers the option to skip that particular scene. The button works, but only when the video timeline has reached the very end of the scene. It won't work before the end of the scene. The button actionscript is the most basic of basic:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(scene1)
}
I couldn't find anything with Google on how to do this, so I'm posting it.I have a code on the first frame of a movie clip that goes to and stops at a different frame in the movie clip depending on a variable that was set outside of the movie clip. It doesn't work, and the movie clip just plays through like normal
View 2 RepliesI am starting off by creating a very very basic flash document, with about 10 frames in it, just to get myself used to controls etc. i have got my buttons working to go from one frame to the next, and i am now wondering how to make a button load a movie clip, the movie clip is actually just a circle i drew and converted, but i would like this to be invisible, and then to load, or "play" when a button called "1" is clicked
View 4 RepliesMy fla is too big to upoad here [URL]. What I was trying to do is to get the animation on 'bt', or 'b1'( they are stacked on top of each other) to gotoAndPlay "_over" when it hits the lower red dot(instance 'oneHT') and then gotoAndPlay "_out" when it hits the second higher red dot(instance 'twoHT'), and then do the same for each windmill blade as it passes the red dots during it's rotation. When I attach script to the movieclip it works, but I'd like to just keep all the actionscript on the main timeline so I dont' forget where I put things.
View 3 RepliesIn CS5 I get the above message. I need to debug so it's very important. Anything I need to do?
View 2 RepliesI have a static text movie clip (text has been completely broken down). What I want is to fade in then fade back out. I have the first part working, it's getting to fade back out. Here's what I have so far:
Welcome._alpha=0;
Welcome.onEnterFrame=function() {
this._alpha+=5;
}
This section works great. I just can't seem to grasp how to make it fade back out.
When I first downloaded Flash CS3 Professional, I was able to enter an exceedingly useful debug mode by compiling using ctrl+shift+enter instead of ctrl+enter. I could toggle break points, step in, step over and view values stored in variables at a whim.
I must have accidentally toggled some option somewhere, because this interface no longer shows up. Instead, the only extra interface I get is the output menu with the following text "Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL <file path> [SWF] <file path> - 71984 bytes after decompression" and while the swf does halt if the as3 code reaches a break point, it doesn't tell me which break point nor give me any options to progress the flow (not even through the pull down menu I have to utilize in order to end the so called debug session).
I have a swf that I need to attach the flex builder debugger to. I have full access to the source code, and can make a debug build of this swf.
However, this swf is being loaded by a non-debug build of another swf which I don't have source code to, and can't make a debug build with.
I've tried mocking this up with two very simple swfs, and while it works fine when both are debug builds, when the outer swf is a non-debug build, while I can get the debugger to connect, I don't get trace messages, breakpoints don't work, and it seems to lock up the flash app.
I have flash installed on my mac 10.6.7 and it's version is 11.1.102.55 (Non-debug).How do i convert it into debug.
View 1 Repliesi am having problem with loading external text or html content code works on main timeline it loads whole html contents with image but i move it in movieclip the only text just disappears.i tried to load it through external swf file but the text is still invisible
View 1 RepliesHow would I blur the contents of the stage during loading?
View 1 RepliesHow it is done, when you enter to site [URL]. Preloader loading the content of site and when you re-enter to site you see the preloader once again and preloader loading from 1 to 100 fast. What script cause this effect?
I have 2 mc, mc1 with script :
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {
loaded = true;
_root.mc2.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
}}}
And mc2 have preloader in 2 frames and then goes frame with label loadMovie("content") but its not working.
I know that the autoSize works fine for textfields (loading contents from a XML, for example), but and for movieclips? There's a way to set this?
View 6 RepliesI want a MovieClip to play as its loading the content in the background, I already have the MC animated, the "loader", how do I do this! I tried this way
frame1
ifFrameLoaded ("end") {
gotoAndPlay ("Start");
}
frame 2
gotoAndPlay(1);
layer 2
loader
Thats all it works the only problem is, that I realized is that its dependent of connection speed, what I mean is that if you have a 200KB/s connection it will load so fast that it doesnt play the complete animation and I set the simulate download speed to like 50KB/s and it does play completely. So my question is will this happen when it's online?
I want to know: is it possible to load several images using a single loader?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to load the content of a .txt file dynamically... If I leave the .txt file in the same root with the .swf it works perfectly, but I tried moving the .txt files into another folder and it stopped working...
Code:
var path ="/info/myInfo.txt";
var my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// actions go here...
} else {
trace("error load text files");
}};
my_lv.load(path);
"info" is the name of the folder the .txt file is in... I even tried upload it to my server and giving the absolute address like [URL] but nothing...
I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work maybe 1 in 4 times.

I have some keyboard events that work fine when I "test move" however when I debug the movie the keyboard events don't seem to fire.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing.
2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does.
3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.
I'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?
I am using Adobe Flash CS3 and press CTRL + Enter to preview the movie , but now I Cann't do it , the movie isn't display anything ( but I can preview only one scene by press CTRL + ALT + Enter). I try to publish the movie, the error message is not display but when I test debug . Flash shows the message that "Error open file 'my flash file path'+.swf" How can I reslove this problem
View 2 RepliesIn Flash, if I Test Movie in normal mode (Ctr + Enter) I get no complaints about accessing URLs. The SWF's sandbox is "localTrusted". However when I debug Test Movie (Ctr + Shift + Enter), the sandbox is different. I then get complaints about accessing URLs; Security Sandbox Violation "...Untrusted local SWFs may not contact the Internet..." if localWithFile, and "...denied due to lack of policy file permissions..." if localWithNetwork.
Is this a "feature"? If so, I'd like to be able to turn it off. It would be nice if there was simply a warning, and not actual failure. To fix it, I could trust the file using global trust settings, but that seems silly just for debugging.
I want is it load an external swf on the click of a button, then unload it to load another swf on the click of another button. heres a sample code of what did.
Code:
stop();
//loading first movie
container.loadMovie("movie.swf");
