i load external movie with loadMovie action.
It loads the SWFs into the movie correct.
I have problem, how simply switch between the loaded movies. The last loaded movie overlay all loaded movies.
How is possible do it the swap of the loaded movies?
I'm a designer struggling to learn advanced actionscript. It's quite a challenge,
One of the challenge i'm having right now is: I have my main timeline(swf). i'm loading in 2 separate swfs into two separate holders on the main stage/timeline/swf. whatever it's normally called. One of the loaded swfs is a menu and the other is a page. Basically i'm designing a learning application. The menu alllows you to jump to a specific place in the course rather than a next button of sorts which is also in the course.
When a different page is loaded i need for a button(movieclip) that's located in the menu swf to swith out with a new button that's located off the stage somewhere.(these buttons are located in the menu swf off stage) so i need the loaded page swf, to talk to the other loaded swf(menu) everytime it or another page is loaded. I've seen simular references to having a loaded swf talk to the main timeline swf but i haven't been able to find a reference for two loaded swfs thats loaded inside holders, to talk to each other.
I'm currently working on a project which has a swf (zoom) which zoom/pan a loaded swf of a map (carte_web.swf). Everything went well until I got more requests. There is now two maps, same background, one with images and one with only a road. I'm trying to add code to two buttons on a toolbar generated by the zoom.swf, to switch between the two maps, without loosing it's zoom/pan My maps are both object-oriented Flash programming. I have spent 27 hours, trying to find a way and I'm definately at my wits' end!
I got a suggestion " in loading both your swfs into one sprite separately. Then switching between the swfs by removing and adding them to their parent sprite. The parent sprite is what you'll be zooming. " I tried everything!!!
I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
Code:
/stage variables
var sH:Number;
var sW:Number;
var _contentHolder = new Sprite();

Is it necessary to unload Movies in Flash, or can I keep multiple movies loaded simultaneously? Are there memory requirements that make it necessary to limit the number of Flash movies loaded at one time?
View 1 RepliesI have a project where I have to load other flash movies into it as a "porfolio".So as of right now the code I have when clicking on the christmasCardBtn is [code]This is working fine to load the movie. I also have a button that appears when a movie is loaded that is coded to remove the myLoader1 child when selected. So the movie dissapears. But there are a few of my movies that have on-going sound clips. How do I make the sound turn off when the button to remove the movie is selected?I tried adding SoundMixer.stopAll(); to the button that removes the movie but this doesn't work.
View 1 Repliesi have my loaded .swf buttons loading 'movie1' and 'movie2'. both 'movie1' and 'movie2' have a tween in frames 1-5, which is a box that slides open and is stopped. in frames 6-10 the box slides backwards in the opposite and dissapears. i would like it if 'movie1' is open and the user clicks the button for 'movie2', 'movie1' plays 6-10 and then loades 'movie2' and vice versa. i just don't a script for this function.
View 7 RepliesI have a site I am building in AS3. I have a main SWF, site.swf, that loads the subsections as seperate SWF's only when a user clicks on them (to save on initial load time).or my subsections, I need to be able to communicate with the SWF that loaded it. In AS2, this was simple enough - just say something like_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("something"), and step up enough levels to speak to movie clips in the main SWF.Trying to do this in AS3, however, results in errors such as this when trying to compile my subsection SWF:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.... because it thinks I am trying to communicate with something that doesn't exist. The result is that I can't compile my subsection SWF's.For example, I am unable to reference a variable in the main SWF using this code in my subsection SWF:

View 7 RepliesIve made two simple up/down buttons, that "scrolls" a loaded movie by the following code (lets say the movie is loaded to level 5):
_level5._y += 5;
Very simple.
Well, Id like to be able to hold down the button and have the movie scroll continously, like the scroll++ code does for textboxes
A problem that I'm having is that any movie I load into my main swf (regardless if I load it into an empty MC or just a higher level) my mouse still recognizes buttons that are underneath the loaded swf. This can be confusing to the viewer as the pointer turns to essentially an invisible button because you can't see the underlying button. Is there anyway to make the Flash player not recognize buttons underneath loaded SWF's or do I have to turn to invisible upon load?
Also, I'm having trouble getting the loaded swf to communicate with the main movie that loaded it. I think I need to use the parent action but I'm not sure how. I'm trying to use code that is created and contained in the movie that it loaded, is this correct?
Is there a way to automatically unload movies when a new movie is loaded? eg: 5 buttons, 5 bit of art. At the moment they overlap instead of unloading before the new one loads.

View 1 RepliesI need to load a flash-game inside the flash site. The goal is to get information about the winners' score to publish it on the site.

How can I retrieve the data from loaded swf?

Can a loaded movie unload itself, I've tried but nothing positive. This is the thing, I have a section that I loaded, and I want a close button in that loaded movie, not in the actual main movie.
View 3 Replieshow to keep track of loaded MCs? I have a navigation system loading content MCs. The problem is, when I choose another nav button, I want it to (onPress) figure which clip is currently loaded then gotoAndPlay a frame label in that clip, which will play an exit animation and load the content area corresponding to the newly pressed button.
Someone on Flashkit suggested having the loaded content MC send a variable to the main time line to act as a kind of flag to say which section is active but I'm not sure how to go about doing this.
I'm trying to load multiple .swf's into a horizontally expandable flash page (it's for a portfolio). The problem is, being a bit of novice when it comes to actionscript, I can't work out how to create the correct spacing for my images. I've got the code below but obviously the x position is simply a fixed amount (210px) which is no good as some images are much wider than others. I've tried to use _width to make the spacing dependent on the swf width but nothing seems to work.

View 1 RepliesAnyway, if you click on "events&entertainment" a new movie is loaded on lvl 53. It's a thumbnailed image gallery that loads external images into an empty movie clip. Works great! The progressBar shows the proper info and disappears when the image is loaded.That's not the problem.Now, click on "corporatecommunications". It loads a movie in lvl 54, unloads lvl 53 - the gallery is the same code, but it doesn't work.
Reload the site and click on "corporatecommunications". Works great! Now, click "events&entertainment". Doesn't work.Here is the code for the "events&entertainment" movie gallery functionality. The "corporatecommunications" galley uses the same code, but replaces the "ee" with "cc" in the variable, functions, etc...
Code:
// Create a variable to hold the image location information
var imageNowee:String;

View 1 RepliesI simply want to call in some loaded movies with my main swf and then be able to swap them when they are pressed. When I load my external movies into the main movie should I be putting them in separate "empty" clips? If I don't, each time I load a movie it replaces the current movie in the "empty" clip. Where do I put the code that will make the movie that is pressed come to the front? On the movie that is coming in? or the movie that it is loading into? It seems that a simple my_mc.swapDepth(x) should work? For (x) I would like to specify a number because there might be more than two clips that I would like to load in....
