How do I remove a movie clip from the main movie?I've tried setting the alpha,but technically it is still there.Removing and deleting movie clip only works if the movie clip is duplicated and I don't want the movie clip duplicated.
View 1 RepliesI've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I have as3 flash page in that page I have two buttons with each calling an external .swf file. What I want is when I call in the second .swf or vise versa is for the 1st .swf to disapear so it is not sitting under the 2nd. swf. I want the movie clip to dissapear because if it has sound in it it will play even if the 2nd .swf is clicked. The code that I'm using is
var image11 =new Loader();
lights_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, greenmove11);
function greenmove11(event:Event):void {
[code]....
So how can I make it so that when I press fireworks_btn that the light.swf disappears?
I have a problem and I would like to understand it for once and for all ecause I run into this problem all the time.I added a movie clip in frame 2, now I have 7 more frames, I have a nav menu that goes to each of those frames, I want to remove the movieClip I created in frame 2, I want to remove it from all the movie after frame 2, I wrote:
removeChild(field);
in frame 3, it does remove the mc in frame 3 but not in frame 4 5 6 or 7?
I am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
I have a flash banner that includes a movie clip of the logo being animated. I want the logo animation to only run at the beginning of the main "movie". Currently I have to find the length of the entire movie (for ex. 500 frames) then put a key frame in at the 500th frame of the logo movie clip. I know there has to be a correct way to do this...Do I add a frame name at the end of the main timeline and somehow in AS in the logo movie clip say "when you reach X goToAndPlay(1);"?
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to play several movie clips, one after the other from one main movie clip.i've got 8 movie clips, "m1.swf", "m2.swf", etc. "m8.swf", and one main movie clip, "play.swf".i've tried using loadMovie, but it only plays the last movie clip. this is what i've got. in the main movie clip, i've put a play button, and the actionscript i have in the button is:
on(release)
{
this.loadMovie("m1.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m1.swf");[code]....
is this wrong? how can i get this to work correctly.
I'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.
I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.

Im using this code to generate an empty movie clip that loads an external .png file:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
container.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1);

Im having is that if I navigate to another scene the movie clip/image remains on top of the new scene. This particular scene has four buttons that jump to different frame labels in this scene. There are also two buttons at the bottom of the page that take you to a new scene. Ive tried multiple lines of code to terminate the image or movie clip when the user navigates to another scene or page. But it just remains.

I have attached a duplicate movie script action on a button to create a new copy of the clip (F900) with each press. This seems to work well; however, I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to create the script to remove the duplicated movie clipHere is the script I am using for the duplication and I did also attach the fla file:on (release) { _root.F900.duplicateMovieClip ("F900_"+"x", x ); setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _x, 300);setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _y, 200); x++;}Once I figure this out I would like to add different aircraft to it but that is not terribly important right now.

View 2 RepliesI have two clips on the stage with mouseover and mouseout actions. When you roll over a clip, a new clip is created and added to the stage. I then use the drawing methods to draw a callout.It works fine the first time, but when you roll over the second clip, the drawing for the previous object is not erased and it adds to the drawing with the information from the second rollover.

I have various movie clips that play when a button is clicked.My first movie clip (instance name is "MCABOUT") which plays on the press of the button called "about". I have another movie clip (instance name is "MCPORTFOLIO") which plays when another button called "portfolio" is pressed. I have a stop() applied within each movie clip so that they stop playing once they reach their end frames. My question is: How do I get the "ABOUT" movie clip to disappear from the stage when I click the button for "PORTFOLIO" and how do I apply this to make any additional movie clips disappear from the stage once another button is clicked so that the movie clip attached to that button plays (in other words, whatever movie clip is presently on the stage disappears)?
View 2 RepliesI am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.
View 2 Repliesi found an example online where bombs falling from the sky remove circles from a grass field, and a moving character can interact with the newly made circles(go into them). i dissected the code to the point where the only thing that happens now is that you click on the field and remove a circle:

and now im trying to figure out if i can use this code on a movie clip already on the stage, instead of a bitmap in the library
does anyone know how?

I've been trying to find this topic on the internet for what seems like forever but haven't had any luck. What I'm trying to do is remove a child movie clip and have an alpha transition when it is removed.
What I have so far can be found at: [URL]
Basically what I'm trying to do is when the video player is closed, instead of simply disappearing, I want it to fade to an alpha value of zero
this is the code I have so far:
