I have this flash timeline with an empty movieclip in it. And i have some button that attaches an 'actionscript-exported' movieClip from the library..[code]Now...each time i press that button, the 'some_mc' loads. Is there some clever way of checking if the movieclip has already loaded, so that it doesn't load if it's already loaded.[code]

I want to know how to check whether a SWF is loaded or not.

View 3 RepliesI am currently writing a site and one of the things it does is read variables from a database (by using the following code to access a php file which does the database lookup): loadVariablesNum ("loadvariables.php", 0, "POST"); This works perfectly, however following this I load a number of images based on the variables that are returned. i can't work out how to put an eventlistener, or something similar, so i can tell when loadvariables.php has finished loading. Then i can just load the relevant images in the oncomplete section (or the equivalent).

I'm trying to use .loadMovie to load a .swf that contains a high res background image for the website. I want it to load hidden behind a layer of black before the user is even presented with the oportunity to move forward.
Is it possible to put somthing like this on the first frame (a black screen)...
Code:
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*13);
switch (choice)
{
[Code].....
then have the second frame contain a button that will reveal the loaded image, but not until the code above is executed and the image is loaded?
im making a sort of a game and depending on what u choose u may load 1 of 3 or 4 options of movies into a specific level for each option. Meaning: the different toy hands are allways loaded on level 3, no matter which u choose and so on. At the end i need to make a list of the choices the user did, so i need to know if "hands_blue.swf" is loaded in level 3, and if so then push."hand blue" into an array. Im trying this on the _root frame,but no matter what option i take, i allways get the same option:
Code:
list=new Array();
if (_level(3)==="hands_blue.swf") {
list.push("Selecci�n: hand blue");

What is the best approach to add and remove sections if I'm using this method for example.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("section1.swf"); [code]......
Do I add this to button click events? for every section? and a remove method for the other sections that are not in use? or is there a better way to setup this more reusable and checking correctly if a swf is loaded or not?
I'm using a preloader and MovieClipLoader to seemingly good effect and I have an ending sequence to my preloader where it plays out once the target clip is loaded. The ending sequence features within the preloader itself (preloader_mc.endingClip). preloader_mc plays through its frames with:
[Code]...
until it gets to 100% and then gets to a frame telling endingClip to play. All good unless the target clip is already loaded. Then what happens is that the preloader jumps to 100% and only plays the ending sequence. I would like to have a way of checking to see if the target clip has already been loaded so as to avoid displaying only this ending portion of the preloader.

I have a main movie and into it I am loading an external SWF, using loadMovie("myclip", target_mc). I want my main timeline to be able to tell where my loaded movie is, and when the loaded mc (myclip.swf) reaches frame 20, i want my main timeline to do another action (like, start playing a sound). How do I accomplish that? How do I check what is the current frame of the external mc?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a SmartVersioning ad using MediaMind using ActionScript 2 (the publisher doesn't allow AS3).
Skipping over how it's implemented - basically what I have is a collection of MovieClips on the main timeline that contain a swappable image (through the Smart Versioning service). You can only define objects as Smart Versioning objects if they are on the main timeline.
What I'm doing with this is using BitmapData to use the assets on the main timeline as a source for the graphics throughout the animation.
Should be as easy as:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(143, 230, true, 0);
bmd.draw(_root.person1);
attachBitmap(bmd, getNextHighestDepth());

I have a series of movieclips placed on the stage, that I have all given the same base class. When a movieclip is clicked, they scale up to 100%, and when clicked again, they scale back to their initial scale.What I would like, is to make it so that if another movieclip has already been scaled up previously, that movieclip will scale back down to it's original size, before the other movieclip that has just been clicked on, scales up. This is the basic code I currently have for all my movieclips:
Code:
private function fullImage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
parentX = MovieClip(parent).x;[code].............
How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is - directly on the stage) OR on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder") like i'm trying here?

How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is) or on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder")?
function onMouse_Down(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("MouseDown occured");
[Code]....
My Problem is, that e.target.name is null, when clicking on the stage. When clicking on the mcSlideHolder e.target.name is "instance235".
The reason I am trying to check to see if a movieclip is on stage or not is to remove it when someone clicks another section of the navigation. say they click work_mc, then they click a button in work_mc, this launches workss_mc. I want to check on the navigation is workss_mc is on the stage or not, if so remove it. This is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to be working..
Code:
nav_mc.skillsbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick3);
function buttonClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
var workss_mc:mc_workss;
[Code]....
how do you check whether a certain mc or sprite has any children inside it... does the following do the trick?
[as]
if (mc.length > 0)
{
trace ("mc has children");
[Code]....
I got a very short question but I can't seem to find it on the internet (might be because I'm using the wrong terms). Is it possible to listen with a listener when a movieclip has been resized? I know there is a listener to do this with the Stage object. If this is not possible: do I have to make an interval that constantly checks if a movieclip is resized?

View 4 Repliesif you have a movieclip nested inside another clip, and you scale the parent clip, how do you see what the nested clips new sizes is?
so i have a circle(50x50) movieclip nested inside a container clip.
i scale the container clip, and then trace the nested circles width and still get a width of 50, the question is.... how do i get the size of the scaled circle, and not its original size?
I'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons
for (j=1; j<holderArray.length; j++) {

what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.

View 1 RepliesI'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.
View 3 RepliesThis is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.
hide movieclip A when a loaded swf B overlaps that movieclip? movieclip A = level0. loaded swf B = level1

View 1 RepliesI'm nesting a SWF inside my movie by so
Code:
var loading:Loader = new Loader();
loading.load(new URLRequest("loading.swf"));
placeholder.addChild(loading);
All is fine and dandy. But I would like playback of the nested swf to be stopped initially. This can be done by putting a 'stop()' call on the swf itself but I would really like to know if it's possible to do this from the parent movie?
I have a bunch of SWFS from a third party tool that I am loading into an MC called "_root.dropzone". I want to be able to tell flash to move to a frame label in my main movie when that loaded MC has played the last frame but I have no idea how to do this. I don't have the FLAs for the swfs otherwise i'd just add code into the last frame. Here's what I am using:
if (_root.dropzone._currentframe == 1521)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("s_2");
}
This doesn't seem to be working as flash jumps to "s_2" immediately...
