I can load and unload a movie via the "loadClip" and "unloadClip" methods. So far, so good. However, I notice that the movie is not altogether "unloaded".Some of it continues to run even though the visible movie is gone. I know this because there is an "interval" timer started within the movie and I am seeing the effects of that "thread" (ok, maybe its not a thread but thats what it seems like to me. Process, maybe?). Anyway, even though I have used the unloadClip method to unload the clip, I have a feeling that there is a lot more I should be doing to clean up the mess I have left behind. Seeing the effects of the still-running interval timer, I now have visions of memory leaks not far behind.
View 3 RepliesI'm loading jpg's externally into a dynamically created movie clip that then get clicked on to show a larger image. I'd like to be able to click on that MC/larger image to close it once it's loaded. Here's the code I'm using to create the MC and for the life of me can't figure out how to do it after extensive searching on the subject. Basically I'm wanting to go back to the "pre-click" state of the movie when it first loads before any clicking happens.
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("large_mc", 1);
with (_root.large_mc){
_x=225;
_y=92;

but it doesn't work...
I'm using Flex to load external swfs, and casting them as movie clips so I can communicate with them. However, I'm having difficulty unloading the movieclip. I've tried setting loaded_MC = null, but it still continues to run in the background.
public var loaded_MC:MovieClip;
private function init():void
{
loaded_MC = MovieClip(swfLoad.content);

I've created a main page with my main links on top, and a container as my body.I load my pages with this action to the container.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "production";
container.loadMovie("production.swf");
[code]....
Inside the production.swf files I've created a gallery with a MovieClip that loads from my library to a container1 inside the production.swf. In the galleryMC(from library), Ive created a close button to unload it from the container1. It works fine from my production.swf file, but when it loads to the main page it doesn't unload. This is the ActionScript that I have to unload the Movie Clip.
on (release) {
this._root.container1.unloadMovie();
}
I have an ActionScript 2.0 project with a very simple timeline Alpha Tween ("Classic tween" in CS4) of a movie clip. I need to reposition the movie clip dynamically when the movie is launched, before the Tween is executed (as in "x_mc._x = 100;").
I found out that after changing the clip position the Alpha Tween as well as the Alpha final value are totally ingored. The clip is shown in the updated position but remains throughout in the Alpha setting of the first keyframe (even when it reaches the last keyframe which has a different Alpha setting). I verified that the Tween itself is executed by placing Trace statements at both keyframes. If I remove the repositioning statement, the Alpha Tween works fine (but of course in the original position which is wrong)
I am making a 3d engine using formulas from a different language and its coming along nicely but I am having depth issues. How do I set the depth of an object within the script? I need the depth to change so I objects that are farther in the distance are further behind other objects.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to dynamically add a movie clip to the stage with text and have the size of the movie clip dynamically generated by the amount of text?In other words I am trying to make a word bubble but the amount of text in the bubble will vary in size and I need the bubble to size accordingly. Maybe someone knows of a tutorial online that I can use. My searches have not been successful.

I have Flash CS4 and I'm developing an RPG game. My goal is to dynamically change the weapon/armor the main hero has on according to what the player has on. I think the term is paper dolling. Basically I want to be able to set a point in which a graphic (movie clip/w.e) can be place permanently and I can load images to it via actionscript 3. I want the point to stay on the hero becuase I plan to move him and animate him and I want to be able to have it so that all it takes is me loading an image to the hero so it will basically "mask" over him. Hope you guys understand what I'm saying, I'm having a hard time figuring this out.
View 3 RepliesIn AS2 I would do this:
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
this.attachMovie("clipLinkageName", "instanceName" + i ,this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
But now in AS3, I'm learning to use:
var instanceName1:clipClassName = new clipClassName();
addChild(instanceName1);
But I don't know how I can put that in a for loop like I did above..this["instanceName" +i]:clipClassName = new ClipClassName(); does not work.
I'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() {

So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.
Here is the code I am using for the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
videosBTN.onRelease= function() {
[Code]....
this is my code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("m1",1);
m1.loadMovie("e1.jpg");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("b1",2);
b1.loadMovie("e2.jpg");
b1._y = 350;
now i want to make b1 movie clip to act like button so that when ever i click it any one property should apply to m1 movie clip
I am working on a project where i have been given an FLA that has lots of images contained in movieclips that animate when you roll over them. These animations are all contained on the timeline of each separate movieclip, so the code was basically a lot of gotoAndPlay("2") statements and so on.
I have been given it to work on because the different movieclips need to go to a URL read in from an XML file when clicked on, and i have this part working no problem.
I also need to be able to read in image paths taken from the same XML file as the urls, and load these images into a movieclip holder within the movieclips on the main timeline. However the problem that i am having is once the images are loaded into img_holder which is placed inside a movieclip they will not animate on that movieclip's timeline.[code]...
Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI have a project that requires manipulation of a movie clip (swf file).

View 4 RepliesI have a png clipart image dynamically loading into a movie clip. Is there a way in AS2 in which it would get the different color layers used in that clipart to display the color pickers related to those color layers. So that once i change the color in that color picker it would change it in the clipart as well. Basically i want flash to communicate with the png layers.
