how would i go about using a draw code(Code that allows users to draw within the flash) and restricting it to a certain size and location on the movie? for instance a 75x75 box located at xPos=200 and yPos = 150?
Like would I have to use a blank movie clip for the position? then make an invisible box within it to restrict drawing area?
if it is possible to load a movie clip into a blank movie clip?On my main timeline I have a button (mode_btn) and I want to be able to click it and load another movie clip (mode_options_mc) into a blank movie clip I have (mode_empty_mc). Is this even possible?
View 11 RepliesI'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.
I cant get the swf to load into my placeholder movieclip "gallery_ph"... instead it just opens a new window with the loaded swf inside.
here is my xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<NAVBAR>
<BUTTON NAME='Neuro' LINK='swfs/gallery/atlas/neuro.swf' TARGET="this.gallery_ph"/>
</NAVBAR>

Is there a way to make a movie clip based on a blank object?the way i usually make one is by drawing a rectangle and making it a movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI have several movie clips on the stage. They are draggable. I want to be able to drag the movie clip, then when it is dropped, a copy of that movie clip will appear where the first one had been, and the first one will just stay where it is on the screen.
However, I'm running into problems with the syntax.
Here is my current code:

In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.
View 5 Replies1)I was able to load an external .swf file into a blank movie clip (A TARGET CLIP WHICH I CREATED using createEmptyMovieClip) 2)Also by placing a button on the stage I was able to remove the movie clip
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL MY CODE IN THE FIRST FRAME. I would like to Remove the Movie without putting the code on the button. But it didn't work.
Here is the code on the button that Does work

I have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.
So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted. how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?
how do i add a movie clip to a button position? i want a button that, when clicked, slides out to a certain position and stop. kinda like a drawer in a desk.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the position of a movie clip called "Shooter", returned to a variable called spitballYpos.
The movie clip is sitting on frame 6 (labelled "Shooting") of a movie clip called PDFstanding.
The position returns perfectly if I place the .shooter MC on the first frame of PDFstanding, but on frame 6 the variable result just returns "undefined".
What have I missed? If I need to reference the particular frame the 'shooter' movie clip is on, then what is the correct syntax?
Here's my code...
Actionscript Code:
spitballYpos = _root.PDFstanding.shooter._y;
I have two images pulling though an empty movie clip, using the actionscript below. I can't seem to figure out how to position both of them, could anybody shed some light on this? I'm using AS3.

The only problem i keep running into is, when i click the calibration touch screen cross, what is the script that allows the change in position of the cross after it has been clicked on?Example:The original cross is orientated on the top left of the screen, after it has been clicked i need it to move to the top right of the screen, then clicked again - bottom right, and again bottom left and finally clicked again to be displayed in the centre

Where in the script can I add the x and y properties for that empty movieclip?
I'm an ActionScript beginner, by the way.
I have a simple drag and drop interface, fill in the blank type thing, and I wat to lock a specific move clip's position once it's dropped in the appropriate place. Make sense?
Is there a way to test the _y of all movie clips and set a function that if there is a movie clip at _y = 75 that it is 'topMovie' and if another clip is at (topMovie + topMovie._height) THAT movie will be 'secondMovie' and so on ad infinitum?

Is there a way to position something INSIDE of a movie clip, based on X and Y values of the root stage?
Basically the X and Y of the container movie clip is at Stage.width/2; but I want one specific movie clip inside to stay permanently at 200X and 200Y on the MAIN STAGE. I can't actually move it to the root timeline though because it is using actionscript inside of the container.
I need to jump the movie clip position back and forth between two positions on the stage--without tweening--via a mouse click on a button. I have no problem doing this by creating a 2-keyframe timeline, and re-positioning the movie clip for each frame. To move back and forth from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1 on the main timeline, I wrote a gotoAndStop action for the button, (labeled flipflop.) In frame 1 of the main timeline:
flipflop.onMouseDown = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
};
In frame 2 of the main timeline:
flipflop.onMouseDown = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
};
The problem is, when the movie clip jumps from position A to position B on the stage, the movie clip resets to frame 1. I need the movie clip to hold its current frame as it changes position from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1. How do I do this, and would the method be the same if the single button controlled the movement of multiple movie clips?
i want to put the movieclip in diagonal object and i have the sample image in attached thumbnails:

I have one movie clip that when clicked on moves to the left of the screen, after it gets there I want another and exteral swf to load. But I dont know how to get the external clip to load after the movie clip gets to the left side of the screen....Here is what I got so far..
square_mc.onRelease = function()
{ square_mc._x = 30;
square_mc._y = 180;
[code]....
when square_mc get to the Y position of 180, run the external clip.
why isn't this working?
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function() {

I want the movie clip to be at the bottom right corner or the stage at all times when the browser is resized. The name is the clip is bottom right piece. The flash movie takes up the whole browser with no scale. The movie clip is always over or under the point in space its suppose to be. When i trace the value or the movie clip's _x... its the same as the Stage.width... but it doesnt portray that visually on the stage...
I've honestly tried to look everywhere and have no clue how to do this. PLus i've tried for hours and still have no success! As the post thread title states, I have a swf file and i want to import anothe swf file into a blank movie clip. Can it be % wise? And can the image's width be set to say 100 and the height be automatic? Also, what about the x and y positioning? also, I do not need or want a progress bar.
