ActionScript 2.0 :: Unloading The Dynamic Movie Clip?
Dec 12, 2006
I'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;
[code]....
but it doesn't work...

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.

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've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{
[code]....
how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!

I have 2 pages. This script loads up the mainPage_clip
var mainPage_clip:MovieClip = new mainPage_mc();

The other page is diary_clip. I have a button inside mainPage_clip that i want to unload the mainPage and load diary. But if i add this script to the one above i get an error:
diary_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,diary) ;
function diary (event:MouseEvent):void

I use mcLoader.loadClip action to load an image. I'd like to make a button stop downloading the image in case it isn't loaded 100%. So if the image is loading, when I press the button it will stop loading.

I am dinamicly creating movie clip(see code below). I give each movie clip a name that has a diffrent nubmer at the end(myMovieClip1,myMovieClip2,..). In the createEmptyMovieClip this works fine, but when I want to do something with the new created mc (_root.designer.nameMC.lineStyle(0.5, 0xFF0394, 100); ) I can't use the string variable to acccess it. How can I access this movieclip with the name given in the createEmptyMovieClip method?I shuold probably (somehow) set movie clips instance name, right?

I have a requirement wherein I have to draw some of the elctronic components like resistors, capacitors and inductors. I have tried using the image and converted it to the Movieclip, but it has some limitations with respect to our requirement and also doesnt look natural. Is it possible to draw the components using basic shapes and then try converting it to movie clip. I want to assign some events to the ends of the components(small end wires for connecting the components) say like highlighting the wire end by drawing a circle on mouse focus on these points. This requirement is not possible with the image being converted to
movieclip.

The image is the little speaker, which has been converted to a Button symbol. When you click the button to mute, the sound mutes and a red "X" appears over the speaker icon. The red "X" was created as a Movie Clip so that it appears and disappears as you mute and unmute....after you click the button and mute, the red "X" does appear, however 1.) When the master movie recycles so does that X (it disappears). The muting stays off, though. Of course, then, if I want to unmute, I have to reclick the speaker icon to make the "X" reappear and then quickly click it again to turn the muting off (and I have to catch it before it recycles and disappears again).it is anyway. I'm using AS2:
var sound = 1;var offMC = _root.attachMovie("off","off01",99);off01._visible = false;off01._x = btn._x;off01._y = btn._y;var s:Sound = new Sound();s.attachSound("WildWestSaloon2");s.start;btn.onPress = function(){ if(sound==1){

need to have a movie text containing a dynamically loaded single line text box to move back and forth like a ticker tape. The text box will change content depending which button is pressed, so the length will always change. The effect is something like in the winamp display screen where the text scrolls back and forth depending on the length of the file name.I can get everything to scroll one way or another but I can't seem to get it to switch directions when it reaches a certain _X position. I've used if statements to set a variable when the _x position reaches a certain point, nested loops, everything I can think of.These are two versions of the loops I've used to move the clip. I've tried this in a clipEvent and as a function.
do{
this._x ++;
}while(this._x>300)

Basically, I have two movie clips; Square_mc, which is the object I want to scale and scaleTransform_mc which acts as my free transform edit point. What I'd like to happen, is when you click on and drag Transform_mc (The edit point), the correpsonding Square_mc movie clip's _xscale and _yscale change in proportion. I.e. Similar to the free transform tool in Flash.
Code:
scaleTransform_mc.onPress = function(){
scaleTransform_mc.startDrag();

I can dynamically assign a movie clip name, but I don't know how to call the clip name.Notice in the following code, I assign each new movie clip a name: ActionScript Code:"memberClip"+x
I can't figure out how to call each one. I've tried:
ActionScript Code:
["memberClip"+x].loadmovie

I tried this route considering it seems ridiculously complicated to add a scroll bar to a dynamically generated movie clip. I mean, I just want to scroll text/links coming from an XML file... I could be missing something very easy - definitely, but I shouldn't have to repeatedly bang my head on a brick wall.what's the easiest way to add scroll to a dynamic movie clip.

I can show text in a dynamic text field on my main stage...
But when i put the text field in a movie on the main stage, nada!
On my button i have this actionscript:
Code:
on(RollOver)
{ _root.mc-01.letter.text = "b"; }
My movie clip has instance name of "mc-01", my text field has instance name of "letter".
I can see the textfield in the debugger and i can point to it using the targetter...
But i get actionscript error when my movie runs:
Code:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=main, frame=1:Line 2:
