I have an swf that loads in another swf into a 'holder' using the following code:
_root.holder.loadMovie("index_load.swf")
stop();
The holder is only part of the swf movie.
When this index_load.swf loads in, it has a button which when pressed i want another swf to take it's place within the original swf holder.
I created a button with some roll over effects added some load movie action to load external movie.swf file, everything works perfect except I need about 12 same buttons but with different loadMovie command I mean to load different swf files. so what I did to make it fast I copied the first button and pasted it 12 times so I made 12 nice buttons, but the problem I have is that when I change button 2 load movie settings it automatically changes every button, so I am a little frustrated,
View 9 RepliesI have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem.When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) {
_root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100;
}
SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.
I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do.On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's .
[Code]...
and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it
i have some preloader frustrations..dont point me to a previous preloader thread...i have been there already and no im not talking about any preloader that loads the WHOLE movie at the beginning, i know how those work... I need a tutorial/explanation that will teach me how to load a move 'button by button' or 'page by page'.
By this I mean, the first thing the movie will do is load the first 'page' and say you have a few more buttons on that 'page'. It loads all the buttons and that 'page' first..nothing else...then i click one of the buttons (no matter what order) and the 'page' switches to a preloader and then when the second 'page' is loaded, it is displayed.So many sites have this kind of preloader...but i cant believe how many tutorial sites only teach how to program the type of preloader that just loads the WHOLE movie.
I have a button which i'm trying to load a new scene but have no idea how to link it !
View 1 RepliesI have been asked to create a small flash programme. Where a user can navigate some menus to view pictures, plus in addition to have a button which will load up a PDF file So in simple terms, user inserts cd, user then loads up the flash file, navigates to a button, then clicks the button which loads up the pdf which is also on the cd I have seen many threads about this, but I still cant get this to work. Despite my countless attempts, I must be missing something. Which is why I ask if someone could answer in a term so that even someone whos never used flash? Would understand and be able to follow the instructions I need instructions in simple steps, from the moment my pc boots up, and ending up with me being able to double click the flash file and see it working.

I have this code which I got to work when I only had 2 buttons. Then when I added 3 more for a total of 5 the movie broke. I thought I had it. Basically there are 5 buttons on stage and when you click each one the new corresponding movie loads and previous one is removed.
Here is Code:
stop();
// Set up your buttonsbutton1_mc.buttonMode = true;button2_mc.buttonMode = true;button3_mc.buttonMode = true;button4_mc.buttonMode = true;button5_mc.buttonMode = true;

i have a button on the stage and wanted to load a picture by it.i want to know if this code is ok for that (in the case the pic' file in on the same folder as the swf file)

}

View 1 Repliesi have a web page with 2 frames : leftFrame and mainFrame. The left frame is my menu with flash buttons - home, about, news and contact.
What i want is this : when the user hits the "contact" button, i want contact.html to load in mainFrame.i've been at it for 2 days,, searching help, tutorials, sites, everything
i've got the beggining of the script :
this.onMouseDown = function() {
getURL(contact.html target="mainFrame");
}
i need some action script for a button to load another swf file when clicked. new window needs to be at the same size as the swf movie and without toolbars etc. also need a similar code to load swf file but to go on a button on a html page.

I am trying to make a menu that loads external swf's into my current movie. Here is the code that I have, which does what I want, except the buttons only work in order... you can't click the last one first, for example... They only work in the order in which the button variables are scripted...
import fl.controls.Button;
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();addChild(my_loader);
var about_btn:Button = new Button();about_btn.label="ABOUT";about_btn.x=50;

I have been looking at so many snipets and such.. and whats with all the brackets at the end... I kept adding them until it wasn't expecting right bracket at end of program anymore. Like I said, it works but you have to click "about" first and so on down the list, once through, then what ever order after you have loaded them all once.
I have a main swf that loads movies into a clip movieHolder. It loads one movie initially and a button is selected then plays to a frame which loads another movie once a button is pressed in this movie it plays to a frame and at this point / frame I have this code:
stop();_parent.movieHolder.loadMovie("Q_1.swf");_parent.attachMovie("title_foundational", "ttl_foundational", 1, {_x: 217, _y: 5});_parent.attachMovie("buttonblank", "butt_blank", 2, {_x: 22, _y: 5}); _parent.butt_blank.gotoAndStop (1); _parent.butt_blank._alpha

I want to load an image (simple jpg file) and have it act as a button. Then after a few seconds, fade out (or transition) and a new image load with a new URL path. Basically a slideshow that loads different images with each image having a different URL and different targets.Is there a way to pull these three things from an XML file? Like:
<child image="image.jpg" url="http://....." target="_blank"></child>
<child2 image2="image2.jpg" url2="http://....." target="_blank"></child>
but I have no idea about the proper syntax here.I would think the Flash movie would load the XML file, then load the image into a blank movie clip.
i have some MCs with embedded buttons for "home" "about" "contact" etc. they seem to work just fine. i also have a MC clip (main_stage) in the center of my stage into which i'm trying to load jpgs (from an external file called home_back.swf) as backgrounds by clicking on the buttons. this does not work at all and i'm about to drink a gallon of hemlock to end my frustration.[code]i have since gone to MC/buttons to get some nice animations going as it seemed simpler this way, for the buttons at least. but now the above code doesn't work...apparently because that's button scripting and not MC scripting. so my question is how do i get these MC/buttons to link the external .swf jpg's to MC content box? if there is a simpler way to do this i'm all ears.
View 5 RepliesI wondered if there was a way to have a few buttons load different xml docs into a single frame. Basically, I've got an image gallery, and I'd like to click a button and have a new xml doc load in and replace the existing. I know I could do this by just putting each gallery section on a frame, placing a load command on each frame for each xml doc, but I wondered how to do this on just one frame?

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.
I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.
I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.
I also have two different simple XML files, each would only be a single column of data, lets say they're called file1.xml & file2.xml I have 2 buttons, and I want to be able to click button 1 and load the data from file1.xml into the datagrid and have its column of data displayed, same for button 2 and file2.xml.
