ActionScript 2.0 :: Unload Some Images From A Movie Clip?
Jul 14, 2009
I have a problem trying to unload some images from a movie clip ,What i have is a movie clip called " thumbnails" on the stage which loads some images from an array . the movieclip "thumbnails" , holds at the begining the first 4 images , then i have a button called "next_btn" which loads the next 4 images .basically when the next_btn is click it is loading the next 4 images which place them on top of the first ones , and is fine , but what i need to do is to clear the movie clip before loads the next images into.i have tried the unloadMovie method and it is not working , place the code below if anyone has any ideeas what i'm doing wrong ( actionscrip2 )
Code:
function LoadImages(startNo,end)
{
//thumbLoader.removeMovieClip();
//thumbLoader.unloadMovie(thumbnails);
// thumbnails.unloadMovie();
[code]....
was trying all 3 commented options from above , and none of them does what i want the first 2 are removing only the last image from the movieclip and the last one removes the all movieclip and is not loading anything else after
I have xml which is loaded in a movie clip but i can't seem to be able to unload that movie clip when i need to. I tried everything and the code seems right. I'm guessing it's because of some kinda path issue. Maybe someone else might see something i'm missing.
This is the code i am using to load the xml in the movie clip:
Code: var r = _root; r.clipArr = new Array(); r.menuXml = new XML();
[Code].....
Here is the file that i am working on. Just download it from my server and take a look:
Basically it loads a mc when the web starts and when i press buttns it unloads previous mc and loads a next one BUT, it gives me an error when i press the gigs buttn, when contact clip was not loaded before How can i tell that IF certain MC exists, then unload it and load next one, and if not, just unload the other one. Or is there other way to do it? Here is the error i get:
I have so far managed quiet well up until I load in frame 1 my movie clip of the intro logo animantion.
I can load it and get it to play in frame 1 but then need it to stop (which it does)... my problem code area is then I need it to unload so that I can see frame 2 and see the web sites navigation...
the code to load the external movie clip is:
ActionScript Code: var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader);
I cant figure out how to unload a movie clip. I thought i knew how, but its not working and i've tried everything i can think of.I'm loading an external swf like this:[code]This works fine. It loads an external swf that plays a youtube video. However, whenever i click on my navigation buttons to go to another page (basically another movieclip in teh _root level, it does not unload the youtube player and it keeps playing. Further more, if i go back to that page, the youtube player loads again and starts repeating itself.I thought by adding the following code to all my navigational buttons, the youtube player would unload, but it doesn't:[code]
I have an AS3 project (publishing to FP10) where I load a custom made window from the main movie. The custom made window is saved in the Library and has a close button (called exitinteraction_btn).
I manage to load the window from the main movie with the following:
var WinA = new windowa(); addChild(WinA); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "x", Elastic.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "y", Strong.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true);
This is the code in my custom window (which I cannot manage to close and have it remove itself from the main movie when clicked):
exitinteraction_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeI); function closeI(e:Event):void{ this.unloadAndStop(); }
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: unloadAndStop is not a function. at windowa/heyb()
I am importing a youtube video to a new movie clip using this script:
Code: function containYoutube(youtubevar, depthLevel) { this.createEmptyMovieClip("youtubecontainer",depthLevel); this.youtubecontainer.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/"+youtubevar);
[Code].....
I need to be able to unload it if the user jumps to another part of the timeline. I have tried to just unload the movieclip, but it still seems that youtube is streaming data to the swf. If I do it locally, it crashes the application. If I put it on the server, it makes it clear that youtube is still loading even though the movie clip has been unloaded.
The movie clip is called "theScene" and I have it created on Frame 60 of a movie clip when a button triggers the playhead to jump and stop at Frame 60. However, upon leaving that frame, it will not disappear, so I want to unload it upon leaving that frame.I put in the following code across all frames of the movie clip in its own layer:
how do i load a movie clip SYMBOL at the highest level and then unload it.
i dont want a SFW or JPG to be loaded- that would be one of the symbols from the same swf file.
the issue is- i have used "getNextHighestDepth()" to create movie clips.. now i need to add a box on top of that- so again, i will have to use "getNextHighestDepth()" - which im having hard time to unload (when i use duplicateMovieClip) -
When I try to import several images (from a folder on disk), I cant seem to make a movie clip of them. What do I have to do to import a bunch of images and then test the movie and see each image appearing after one another?
.I've downloaded a template, which I'm modifying to get working the way I want. You can see how far I've got by going to URL... My question is regarding the 'About' page, where on the right hand side you'll see a pull down menu, with two images on it. The first (says Myrtletown Films) loads and links correctly - The second doesn't link correctly.I'm almost certain its a coding linking issue - As if I were to load the same movieclip as the first one (only telling it to load image2, it loads fine - but then wont link to a separate location).Ok, its starting to get confusing; so here's the FLA. When you open the FLA don't go looking around for bits and pieces. Everything you need will be in the 'action_ content' movie clip. You will find both instances of the images (which are labelled 'Previous_Work_Item_1a' etc)[code]The first image is linked to page '6', the second image (which is failing to load) is linked to page '7'. What's confusing is that Previous_Work_Item2a/b/c are just duplicates of Previous_Work_Item_1a/b/c
I am rearranging a flash by adding more picture. By default it was 8 pictures but I want to add unlimited number of pictures on XML file and want to load them in Flash. The XML file is parsed into an array (code provded below). I can not figure out the problem as the flash shows only the default 8
pictures, not showing the additional pictures that i have added. I was hoping someone here can help me in taking the parsed XML file and help me load the image
into the movie clip. Also I want to redirect all the Rotate Picture (3d-carousel-menu) links to the Flash
picture showing state. I mean all the carousel-menu links will be linked to image showing stage.[code]...
I don't know if this is possible but if someone knows how to do iI want to load images into a movie clip but using a html tag?What I'm trying to achieve is loading a xbox avatar into flash...The code I have to use is :<img src = "http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/gamertaghere/avatar-body.png" />
i'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!!
and then having teh code create a new movie clip for every image there is..
Pretty much its a store that have a bunch of galleries.. Picasa and such. like 20 different pages easy with 20 albums on each with like 100 pictures in each album.. Now I need to get a code that goes to these sites takes teh pictures and then puts them in an empty MC and loads the picture in it And creates an empty movie clip for every picture after that untill there is more more pictures.. The site is also updated on a regular, And I'm trying to avoid having to update it myself. Since the site will remain the same.. cant I jsut have a code where you do the samething over and over again. Until there is more more pictures to load.. and then is stops.
[URL]
Thats one of the pages.. So I would need to site i'm building to go on this url take teh pictures off of it and then place them in empty movie clips I made to rebuild the gallery. And if even there are more pictures than there are MC, It will make new ones to accomedate those picturs.
I want to build a nested movie clip which has 5-6 .jpg files which I want to load externally and then dissolve them at the transition time. So eventually I would also be having a timer to start the playback. I do not know how to get it going...... Just want the images to load through a loader, dissolve between them, timer to start the playback and at the end the movie goes back to the main time line. Just let me know where is the starting point for me and how do I address this issue.
I have a movie clip which is having dynamically loaded image. I want to preload it. how do i make a preloader for a movie clip.I used loader component for preloading images. And its work fine. But I have various images which are loading in a single movie clip when user clicks on a particular button.so i want to develop a preloader for a movie clip. And my client also doesn't want that simple look of a loader component. That's why i will can use any free preloader. But how to assign it to a movie clip which is having dynamically loaded images.
i have a movie in which i have 50 thumbnails dynamically added to a mc and i have a scroller to scroll the mc which works fine.. on each thumb i have a rollover image (which is a bigger image of the thumb) which works fine but i want the rollover image to be shown within the area of mask area which is not happening now..
problem was that when I added a Dynamic text box with a UIScrollBar, my images wouldn't load into my empty movie clip (there's a progressBar too).I hadn't named the UIScrollBar. It still scrolled the text as it should, but apparently since it wasn't named it was fooking with my other components and thereby with my image loaders.
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.
I am loading images into a movie clip consecutively - the code has flash read through the XML nodes one by one and load in the images one after the other. I need flash to recognize when all the images have been loaded, and at that stage I want it to tween the movieClip containing the images. I have it all working, except I am getting this weird glitch where the movie clip jerks from left to right while the image are loading (at least i think its when the images are loading!) - it then settles down and runs normally. the code is below, so can see what i mean by 'jerks from left to right' if you check out the site: [URL]
I am trying to create a slider that will move a series of images in a movie clip based on the location of the slider. The problem I have is that when you click and drag the scroller it will move the images once but after that the images will not move. I am guessing that the problem is with my code. I want to move the _x of the images movie clip based on the _x of the slider. Here is the code I am using which is placed in frame one of the "timelineSlider" MC:

If it will help I can send the the original .FLA file by email as it is too large (225kb) to post on the forum.
I'm trying to dynamically load multiple images to a Movie Clip on the stage. Where I am having trouble, is when I position different sized images one under another.
What I have done is, assign a variable for the position for the _y of the next image. eg. var spacing:Number = 0;
Since I'm loading the images from a XML file, I've included the height for each image aswell. This is where I am having trouble
Say for example, the image I am loading is 400px high, 'spacing' then appears to be 0400 and not 400. After I load the second image, which is 500px high, spacing appears to be 0400500 and not 900.
I Have 3 Movies:MAIN.SWF, contains loading movie actions for Nav.swf and Home.swf.NAV.SWF, contains navagation menu loaded on Level 2 in Main HOME.SWF, contains slideshow for home page loaded on Level 1 in Main In NAV.SWF, there is a MOVIE CLIP "graphmc", which contains a BUTTON "graphicbtn", When this button is clicked, I'd like the HOME.SWF (which is loaded into Main.swf on Level 1) to fade out and unload, and load and fade in Graphics.SWF in place of it.
