I have a png clipart image dynamically loading into a movie clip. Is there a way in AS2 in which it would get the different color layers used in that clipart to display the color pickers related to those color layers. So that once i change the color in that color picker it would change it in the clipart as well. Basically i want flash to communicate with the png layers.
View 1 Repliesi'm loading dynamically some images in a movie clip (banner in [URL].. everything works fine in safari, netscape, firefox (of course).. Explorer KO! actually IE (6.0.2900) works, IE (6.0.2600) doesn't!! image is loaded (preloader is working correctly), but image is not visible!!
View 3 RepliesI've been using Flash for ages but haven't a clue about backend scripting.I've got a flash app where you can add movieclips to the stage and drag them around etc... ...what I'd like is for the user to dynamically save the _x, _y and _rotation values so they can be viewed by other people.What would be the best way to do this - write to an XML file or to a MySQL database? I've looked at some tutorials but its beyond my capabilities to be honest
View 5 Repliesi've looked at several ways to centre a dynamically loaded image into a movie clip for the purpose of zooming the image once loaded. I am loading multiple images (16 in total) at a time and they are all 360 x 360 in size. So what i want to do is set 180,180 to be the centre of the loaded image.
This sounds easy to me but in practice i'm finding it impossible (although i know it isn't as i've seen similar examples doing this).
[Code]...
I am trying to do something that seems like it should be relatively easy. Well bang goes that theory. Here is what I am trying to do. I have the path to a group of images stored in an xml file. I want to load them to a movie clip on the stage. doing this directly by reading the xml file and using loadMovie("filename"); bsaically does what I want it to do with just a few problems, 1. the movie repeats so the same image is pulled from the server multiple times sucking up bandwidth. 2. On slow connections the images can sometimes load slow making the movie not display properly. What I would like to do is load all the images into some structure and add the images to the movieclip in the time line when needed. How does one accomplish this in action script 2.0?
In a perfect world, I would just load all the images to an array and load the array element to the movieclip on the stage.
basically i would like to dynamically display and preload an image onto my main movie clip. this image would be the first item in my xml file. on my main timeline i would like to have a few buttons that a user could click to change the default image on the page.
when they select a new image, i would like to have the preloader appear above the default image and then tween between the old and new image (one fading out and one in kinda thing).i sourced some code but i've been having problems preloading the first image. the image loads but the preloader doesn't do anything. it seems like the preloader doesn't seem to recognise that i'm trying to load an image. it thinks it's fully loaded and carries on before the load can begin!i would also like attach a different preloader for the first image displayed than the ones being loaded via the buttons.
How? This is what I have now and it doesn't work:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("testimage", 1); \ New Movie Clip
loadMovie(test.image1name, "testimage"); \ test.image1name = "image-4.jpg", the url of an image
testimage._width = 350; \ Properties for the Movie Clip
[Code]....
I'm tired and this is tiring me.
EDIT: When I traced "testimage._width", it returned 0. But when I traced "testimage._x", it returned 50 as it should.
I have only been doing flash for less than a week and I mostly do animations but I want to learn AS.
I have saved my pictures in a folder (i.e. /images/) and linked the file name to a mysql database (i.e. test.png) I can make a php file that makes the links to the images
[Code]....
So heres what I want to do,
1.) I am making a logo for my site and I want my pictures to show up in a movie clip (the newest picture first)
2.) If a user clicks on that picture/movie clip it takes them to a specific page
3.) How would I set up controls so a user could switch through the latest six pictures.
I am having trouble loading an external image into a movie clip. I have doubled check my path and but still my code isn't working. I must be missing something fundamental but I can't see it.

Im trying to make a page where i duplicate a movie clip where i would load my images externally from a folder. Each duplicated movie clip should have a different image inside it. It doesn't seem to work. Here is the source code i made:

I am attempting to make an Infinite Slider Menu (in this case picture folio...)using duplicate movie clip and dynamic image loading. I'll worry about the cascading part later, i just need to make this work right now.
I'm trying to get an external image in a movie clip symbol when the movie is opened and I'm having no joy. I can get it to work with a mouse over event...
on (rollOver) {
rootObject.activeMouse = true;

}
However, I need it to load without pressing / rolling over anything.

I've been trying to load a movie clip from a movie clip that has been loaded. I am trying to provide a simple means to change the look / feel of the flash application by placing the graphics and controls into a second swf. Each different screen is represented by a different movie clip that is in the second swf. So I've got app.swf loading ui.swf. I want to load screen1_mc from ui.swf.
The app.swf is loaded by a master swf. There may be multiple copies of the app.swf that can be loaded by the master.swf and each app.swf could be configured differently. For each "unique" app.swf it is stored under a unique folder that is not known to me in advance. Since I don't know the unique folder in advance, I can't use import / export for runtime sharing. Is there any way to load the movie clips from the loaded movie clip? (Basically, I want to treat the ui.swf as an extension to the library.)
i have movie clip x (which is blank), and movie clip y, but movie clip is only on the timeline
how do i play movie clip y in movie clip x ??
I'm working on a flash site and I'm having some trouble with the programming for it. I'm not so great at action script, so I'm hoping that my troubles are caused by my own stupidity and that some cool smart person will have an answer for me.
So, I have a main menu flash file that functions like the one in this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm I set it to load various swf files and it's works just fine. What I want to do is have it load a swf that functions exactly the same (buttons that load external clips with transitions) as the main swf- this is a sub page menu. So, in theory, the sub menu page should load the final content, and three swfs would be seen stacked ontop of each other.
I changed the instance names in the sub menu file to be different than that in the main menu file. This fixed the original problem of it loading the content clip into the clip that the sub menu should stay in. Now, It loads the sub menu just fine, but then it gets stuck and never loads the content. The sub menu buttons will not function at all. Independent of the main menu, the sub menu file works perfectly What can I do??? Does it have anything to do with the "_root"? I never understood the concept, so I'm having trouble with it.
I have an ActionScript 2.0 project with a very simple timeline Alpha Tween ("Classic tween" in CS4) of a movie clip. I need to reposition the movie clip dynamically when the movie is launched, before the Tween is executed (as in "x_mc._x = 100;").
I found out that after changing the clip position the Alpha Tween as well as the Alpha final value are totally ingored. The clip is shown in the updated position but remains throughout in the Alpha setting of the first keyframe (even when it reaches the last keyframe which has a different Alpha setting). I verified that the Tween itself is executed by placing Trace statements at both keyframes. If I remove the repositioning statement, the Alpha Tween works fine (but of course in the original position which is wrong)
i have a xml file that looks something like...

i'm loading the xml data into flash and dynamically building buttons on stage. i'm loading multiple "instances" of a movie clip from my library, positioning them, applying a link to each and loading an image in each. here's the problem -- when i run the flash piece it builds the correct number of buttons (based on the xml file), but it uses the last <button> node values to create all the buttons on stage. i built this using one of [URL] excellent tutorials >> [URL] any clues to what i'm doing wrong. should i post my code?

I am loading dynamically a big image into a uiLoader component. And using the following lines:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followFrame); function followFrame(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = myUILoader.x + mouseX; myUILoader.x -= dx / 10; var dx1:int = myUILoader.y + mouseY; myUILoader.y -= dx1 / 10;
I manage to make the image following the mouse just fine. But the image always off center, as the registration ponit of the uiLoader would be on the left size, even if I try to align it to the center of the stage by:
myUILoader.x = (myUILoader.stage.stageWidth / 2) - (myUILoader.width / 2); myUILoader.y = (myUILoader.stage.stageHeight / 2) - (myUILoader.height / 2);

I used the code from the documentation and still receive this error!
I'm trying to create an as3 project that dynamically pulls images from a database and sticks them into the framework of a flash movie that I making with this.

Maybe someone knows of a tutorial online that I can use. My searches have not been successful.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;
