Nov 29, 2006I've read about 15 threads on this topic, my apologies for another, but am still stuck. I have loaded a .swf into a mc, placed it, scaled it and it works fine. Now I need to mask it with setMask(). I read that the .swf must be fully loaded to mask it and am having trouble with this part. I tried 'onLoaded' and a couple of other ways with no success.

ActionScript 1/2 :: SetMask, Using A Gradient Mc To A Loaded Image?
Jan 7, 2011I've tried to be very descriptive on title, cause i have found around loads of "setmask does not work on dynamicly created mcs'. My case quite differs. =x
I've got 2 mcs, one holds an gradient and the other is the loader. The image is loaded using the loadmovieclip class.
First I've tried to set the code in the mc that holds both. Failed. Also tried setting on parents, and onLoadInit. All failed.
Ps: Surelly I've done double testing for each time I've tried. Firstly I would try placin an image inside the loader mc, to be sure the code was working without the load, and only then check with loading.

SetMask() Inside A Movie Clip?
Jun 26, 2010I'm working on an AS2 website that uses some alpha gradient masks in its header's looping animation. If I put this animation on the main timeline my masks work perfectly [setMask()], but, because the header needs to be a movieclip, my masks don't work at all.?

It doesn't matter whether I tick the cacheAsBitmap property in the properties panel or I set it to true with AS for both the mask and masked mc's. I even tried with both, ticking and AS at the same time, but as long as my masks are inside the header mc, they're not working.
ActionScript 2.0 :: SetMask - Make Rectangle Clip Visible Through Drawn Line?
Jun 17, 2010I've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:
Actionscript Code:
_root.attachMovie("clip", "clip", 0);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
clip.setMask(line);_root.onMouseDown = function() {
line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
line.lineStyle(10, 0x00FF00, 100);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
updateAfterEvent();};};
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
this.onMouseMove = null;};
But that doesn't work: both the line drawn and the rectangle clip become invisible. I know it works because without the setMask part the line is drawn. The other way around does work (line.setMask(clip)): the rectangle clip is now masking the drawn line so only the line becomes visible within the rectangle region. But I want it the other way around: the rectangle should become visible through the lines that are drawn!
ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Loaded Exterior Movie Clip?
Jan 3, 2009I'm trying to dynamically load an exterior movie clip Showreel.swf into the movie clip loader_mc. I want it to have a preload bar, and with the source file I have all this code and objects are held within the first frame of the first scene. This works fine, but if I move the loader_mc elsewhere, (in this instance, frame 40 of the next scene it doesn't work?
Im confused because from the book i'm using I thought that this code has instantiated all the objects, so that I can keep the code in frame 1, as I understand is best practice, but bring the objects in when I need them on the timeline?
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadStart = function() {

Nov 26, 2010i'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).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving Total Bytes On Dynamically Loaded Clip?
Jun 23, 2004I'm trying to create a script that will check different supplied filename paths, insert them into a movieclip, and retrieve the total bytes of the clip so I can determine whether or not the filename is valid. I'm having trouble with the bolded code below. Basically its checking to see if the loaded clip's bytes are more than 0. If its 0 then I know the path was wrong.I've tried using .onData and .onLoad as event handlers, and getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded as my conditions for my following if statement. When I trace the result I get 0 even if the movie was successfully found and loaded... anyone know whats wrong?!?!
Code:
if (presType == "web") {
videoName1 = videoName + "_300k.swf";

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targetting A Movie Clip - Loaded Into A Container Clip From Main Timeline
Nov 24, 2005I 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'.

Mar 1, 2010I'm writing a card game in AS3. The artist I'm working with has produced (in Flash CS4) a single swf-file containing all the card graphics and animations. The structure of the fla working file looks something like this:
- Scene
- CardGraphics (Movie Clip)
- CardFront
- CardBack
- CardValueImage (Movie Clip)
In the program I create 52 instances of my Card class, each having a MovieClip instance created from the loaded swf. The idea is to set the frame of the CardValueImage MovieClip to correspond to the Card instance's suit and rank member variables. However, I can't figure out how I access CardValueImage and call gotoAndStop (or whatever method I will need to call).

ActionScript 1/2 :: Cannot Get SetMask To Work At All
Jul 24, 2009I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2.0. I am trying to load a jpg in and display it in an existing movieClip. I have created a movieClip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip. I then create a new/empty clip within maskMovieClip, and then load the new clip with the jpg and then try to use the setMask to switch them. I did read that it won't work if jpg's have not finished loading, so I put a for/next loop in my example just to make sure the clips are loaded.
Here is my test code:
//How to reproduce problem...
//Create one movie clip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip.
//Create two small jpg pics called pic1.jpg and pic2.jpg.
//This correctly loads and displays a jpg into maskMovieClip
maskMovieClip.loadMovie("pic1.jpg", 1);
