ActionScript 2.0 :: UnloadMovie Command - Load In An Empty Container The Swf's Of The Main Navigation
Feb 26, 2005
i have a little problem with the unloadMovie command. i have a button which is mc2_about here is the code
[Code]...
where i want to unload level1 which is a scrollbar with a text and load the portfolio section in an empty container... my structure i want to load in an empty container the swf's of the main navigation (home- portfolio,etc) and the sub-menus of it's categories[about me-print-web design) into levels. is there a simpliest way of doing that?
I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
I have attached two pictures. Basically I am making a website. The main navigation loads in external swf's through a container movie. For this I have used this tutorial : [URL]. What I want to do is- when you rollover the navigation bar, be it the text or the coloured block- I want it to scroll down and reveal the 'sub navigation'. (pic2) It's like a drop down menu but kind of the other way around. Then, when you either rolloff of the navigation bar or click on a menu button, it slides back up to its original state. (Pic1). I have played around and only managed a sloppy version which doesn't work very well, especially when you resize. I think a simple answer to this is if I could get my buttons to work inside a movie clip. I had tried this but then the swfs wouldn't load properly.
I have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.
I have created an interface that uses a lot of the loadMovie command using levels. Once I have loaded a movie on say level 3...in that level 3 movieclip I will have another navigation that will load and then use the loadMovie command to load movie on level 3 as well. It loads it correctly but the back button that would contain the unloadMovie(3) command isn't unloading, say if the user wants to go back.
I have an AS2 .swf being loaded as a child of a parent AS3 .swf. The AS2.swf calls loadmovie() and unloadmovie() to display 3 jpeg files. The images load the first time, but after that, a call to loadmovie() to replace the image, or a call to unloadmovie() fail. I found the following Adobe Bug report ([URL]) that has said this has been resolved, and also said that child movieclips could be replaced without a problem. Here is the code I'm calling.
I use stage in my scrollbar: this.stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopScroll); When I load this .swf into my main swf the stage command does not work. I still want to use stage, is this possible?
_root.loadMovie(_root.gamename, _root.game); ... that is the code im using to load a movie into an empty mc on the main .swf This code is in a movie that is also loaded from an empty mc in my main .swf 'gamename' is defined in the _root movie and 'game' is the instance of the empty mc where I want it to load. However, when the swf loads, it just loads at 0,0 in my main .swf and not where the instance of game is located.
Is it possible to load a .swf into an empty mc that is dynamically created, behind a layer on my main flash file?
I want the loaded .swf to load behind the interface buttons on my main flash file? Is that possible or do I need to put the interface buttons on a separate .swf and load that .swf in?
i just recently started programming in flash and so far I have learned a lot, but new questions keep coming up
My problem is that I want to load an external swf in an empty movieclip and then manipulate this loaded swf from my main movie. For example tell it to go to a certain frame. Is such a thing possible?
I've got index.swf which is the file with the container. main.swf is the file to be loaded onto index.swf.I can't get my main to load into the container automatically at a specific time. When I click on the button the animation plays perfectly though.Maybe because loadMovie is unable to load over index.swf?I haven't inserted code for any of the other buttons yet though. I want to be sure I can make this work before I start doing everything else. I think it shouldn't matter though cause its only meant to load at a specific time.
Using Child Navigation to load main time line.I am new to AS3 and have done pretty well but have been caught up this area.I have been loading swfs into a loader (imageLoader) which has been added to the stage using addChild. Then with buttons and functions I load other swfs into the same loader which replace each other. I now have an swf "testProject3a.swf" loaded into (imageLoader) which has icons for navigation and when each icon is clicked I need it to load another swf into (imageLoader) and replace it's self "testProject3a.swf" with "portalB.swf".I've tried adding removeChild code to the loaded swf but it removes the original (imageLoader) and the other buttons have nothing to load into.[code]
I am facing a issue in Flash container. I am having a project which has main container which call different SWFs into it. Now I call this main container file into another container, and their problem starts. Many option doesn't work properly which generally have _root, _parent etc...
If I want to run project (main container SWF and child SWFs) into another container file which place on a website. I want to show whole project from this container file so what I need to do?
I Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?
i open a box which has selecable text init and when that is clicked it closes the first box and opens the next. but the container will not empty when the close button is clicked. i use the same method on about 6 other items and all work fin. the 1st box closes fine but the 2nd wont any 1 no y. here code
Im really stumped here the test site is at[URL]..where when you go to services, then the second button in the dropdown when you click on it loads an empty movie clip, but then for the "services" dropdown its behind the empty clip now and I cannot access anything else within that dropdown.
I have everything on my index in layers with the navigation bar section on layer 3 then the picture with the bird on layer 2. The navigation bar(layer 3) is a set of dropdowns which are movie clips, "services, logistics, etc" with buttons within each for the dropdown selections. I have the actionscript for each dropdown on the 20th fram of the movie clip(it goes from frame 1 to frame 20 on rollover of each movie clip). The script then is this on frame 20
I'm working with a window scroller component, where the dynamically loaded scrolling content has buttons that load attach mc's to a clip holder in front of the window scroller. To do this I use this bit of code, which works fine:
The "this.enabled=false" is to deactivate the button in the scroll content, otherwise it will still be active in the background. So far so good.
What I need to do, once the "close" button on the attached mc is clicked, is re-enable the button. I'm thinking the way is to check if the attached mc has been unloaded, which I'm trying to do with this:
Code: if (!_level0.slideHolder_mc.content) this.calendarPagesBtn_mc.enabled = true;
I'm trying to somehow target a MC being loaded into an empty container MC. I've tried everything I could think of.
Basically, I'm making a movie editor. Right now clips are added to the stage on initial load, then when they are clicked on they are added to the "reel" and they can be previewed in the order that they are added. Now, I'm trying to get it so that when they are on the "reel" they can be click and dragged and rearranged.
Here's how the clips are added to the stage in a function called loadClips():
Here's how they are being added to the "reel" in addClips():
ActionScript Code: if (currentTarget.name == "1") { clipCopy = new Clip1();
[Code]....
Now, I just want the clips that are on the reel to be click and drag-able (along the X axis but I'll worry about that later). I realize now they're all being added as clipCopy. That's going to be an issue huh? Is there a way that I can target the container and make that mobile?
Rather than typing out each child to add to a container mc, I wish to use a for loop to do so. However, in AS2, when adding an instance of an object, I could specify a unique name based on the current number of the loop. In AS3, I dont know how to even give the same object a unique name if multiple versions a re being pulled from the library to the Stage!
See this step of basic code:: and perhaps someone may have an obvious point to make about the differences of standard procedures, moving from AS2 to AS3::�
Code: var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var wing:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); addChild(container);
Is there a simple way to completely empty a display object container regardless of what it contains, including if it's already empty? In other words, without determining its children and using removeChild on each?
I have a button on stage which has a child menu movieclip and that movieclip has three submenu button children.On each of these 3rd level buttons an event listener draws a new container on the stage and adds a new movieClip holding various info.This all works nicely, but I cannot work out a way to get an eventListener on the menu buttons to check if the container already exists so I can then stop the button repeating the add container function. So, at the moment you can repeatedly hit any of these menu buttons and they will just continue to add info movieClip children.I've tried some nice Boolean commands that should work, but I think it's the nesting of the children/relationships that are not allowing me to get this to work.So, basically for arguments sake, let's say I only have one of each item... here's the nesting of children:[code]
I have a custom Class that extends Movieclip called Nav, and a container clip on stage. I've referenced the Nav Class and called it as such:
import com.Nav; public var navigation:Nav; navigation = new Nav(); container.addChild(navigation);
This works fine. But when I try to access it with container.navigation ANYTHING it doesn't recognize it. I CAN access it as simply "navigation." But this shouldn't be the case. It should be the other way around, and navigation should not be accessible WITHOUT container.
I have two movieclips on the stage mc1 and mc2,the navigation for mc2 and mc1 is in mc1 as as3 and MovieClips suddenly now that I've added some tabs into mc2 (new layer, no instance names yet) the navigation code in mc1 has stopped working,if I change the initial stop command to a later frame in mc1 I can navigate back to the first frame and then to one other place in the menu but after moving away from the first frame I can't seem to get any of the buttons to work, its only if the stop command is on a later page that those buttons will workon the main timeline i'm using;
Is it able to create a SWF with for example 800x650px and to define some 'containers' within it for other SWF-files? I want to create a container for navigation at the right and when clicking on a navi element,changing the content of anorher container availalble, perhaps like'headAnimation'.
Is it able to change attributes of an included 'container'with a SWF when clicking an element within another SWF placed in a 'container'? Perhaps I have an 'container' with 'navigation.swf' within. When clicking on an elemnt .I want to start a function that fades in/out another'container'. Am I able to create a function that works for all 'containers'? E.g.like that fader so I can submit the name of a 'container' to let it fade out and I can use that function within all elements in any 'container'.
The function below belongs to an XML based photoGallery.swf... Its menu is automatically populated from the same XML file as well (thumbnail picture, title, description). The pictures load into an empty mc called imageContainer.In another empty mc called textContainer, I would like to load some text.swf from the xml list as well.How would you include that in the code?
Code: function loadTmbs () { var tmbs:XML = new XML ();[code]......
I'm loading an external swf into an empty mc called "emptyMC" on my main timeline. That loaded swf loads another swf into an empty mc called "view2" when a button is pressed. Code: on (release) { loadMovie("tabletennis.swf", "_root.emptyMC.view2"); } The above code isn't working right. I'm not sure how to target each empty MC in sequence in order for this to work.
Before this application runs, I have to do some basic intialising - load up some stuff, build the display list, check I've got the right xml, wire a few objects together. I'm used to doing all of this stuff in the constructor of Main() - my main application class, but it gets a little unwieldy. Would there be any mileage in offloading this into a command class? Is that common practice? I was thinking that way all that Main() would have to do is just listen for events and manipulate methods of the other main classes. The only thing that concerns me is that Main needs references to the main classes and to add event listeners etc. This could be tricky if it's all set up in a command...
