ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Loaded Image To Its Parent MovieClip?
Dec 21, 2010
I have a MovieClip, and inside of that is a Loader that loads an image. I have an INIT event listener, which fires a function like this:
Code:
private function BoxartLoaded(event:Event):void {
(event.target).parent.addChild(event.target.content);
}
I assumed that would add the image to the Loader's parent MovieClip once loaded, but it tells me that "parent" isn't valid.
What's the proper method for adding a child to a Loader's parent?

is it possible to load a .swf and play it in such a way, that this loaded clip will become a root effectively substituting a loading clip on top of the hierarchy?
Saying this another way round - rather than loading external .swf as a child of a "host" movie I would like it to replace host movie entirely.

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();

I have a Movie Clip object with a timeline, and it has 3 layers: a layer to stop the timeline at the last frame, a layer with regular drawing with mask attribute and a layer containing a target movieclip with the instance named 'target', that is masked by the layer above.
The drawing is very simple, not even a movieclip, just vector drawing. It's supposed to show the target movieclip only on regions where the mask layer has some drawing, right?
So, I created the method to load an image, listen to the complete loaded event and add the image to the target masked movieclip, but it disappears after the first frame! If i delete the layer with the mask drawing, works fine.
Here's a smaller version of the code.
package
{
import flash.display.*
import flash.events.Event;

i am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

I've struggled with this for a long time and have thrown in the towel. How the heck do you climb the ladder, then go back down again into another clip?

I'm doing an image gallery from xml file, and the thumbnails have diferent sizes. Around the thumbnail there is a border, both are diferent movie clips (thumb and border). they reside inside a main movieclip wich is being duplicated.
So I need to resize the border according the new size of the thumb movieclip, but flash actually gets the value from the starting value of the thumb, not the size after the file was load on to it.
I just thought flash would read the new value if i set the var for the width after the load movie, but that ain't happening =(.
My code so far:
Code:
function createButton(newObj, thumbNode, bigImageNode){
duplicateMovieClip(thumb_base, newObj, depthCount++);
var tempName = eval(newObj);

Hi there I am still a novice to Actionscript 3 and would like some help please. I am creating a grid style image gallery that is XML driven. What I need help with is getting my images to, at random times, swap out with another image. Each image is added inside a Movieclip and can be unloaded. What I need is to load another random image into the now empty MovieClip. Hope this is ok description.

I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0.I think there is someone who spends 2 minutes of your valuable time in providing solution for my problem or issue.
My description for my problem(with layer numbers/names) starts from here: Layer-1: I am loading an external image(.jpeg) onto the stage dynamically when "Submit" button(which is created & placed in Layer1) is clicked using the following sample code:
[code]...
The jpeg image is loaded perfectly and works fine.
Layer-2:When I click on this loaded image, a Pop-up must be visible. So, I created Pop-up in Layer2, which is nothing but a MovieClip(with instance-name myPopup), is a rectangular box with light-yellow colored background, which makes us to feel like a pop-up). So, I created this Pop-up in a layer named "Pop-up". My requirement is : Whenever I click on the image loaded, I need to view the Pop-up upon this loaded image near to the pixel-position where CLICK_Event has occured.To view an example of my requirement,just go through the following [url]Once you open the above url, then you right-click on the right-side image(which is a geographical map). You can view a Pop-up with some of the items(viz., Directions from here, Directions to here, Zoom in, Zoom out & Center map here)
Layer-3:In the same way, in my application ,I want to display few hyperlinks on this pop-up. So, I had created TextFields on the stage(which are hyperlinks) using "Text Tool from ToolsBox" in Layer3 named as "TextFields". I am accessing these TextFields using
<TextField-instance>.htmlText to make it a hyperlink.So, here my problem is: After loading of the jpeg image, When I try to click on the image, the Pop-up(MovieClip) and "Submit" button appears to be under the loaded image and the TextFields are visible over the loaded image.Hence textfields/hyperlinks visibility works fine i.e., on the loaded image as hyperlinks.
Now, What I should do in order to make the MovieClip(Pop-up) and "Submit" button visible on the loaded image?

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

I am loading an image into a movie clip via AS3, and what I want to do is center the image inside the movieclip. The problem is that I can't seem to grab the width value of the image being loaded. Below is what I'm doing:
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name));
screenBox.screenHolder.addChild(imageLoader);
trace(this.imageLoader.width);
When I trace the width, it always comes back at zero(0) even though there is an image inside the imageLoader. What is it I need to do to find the actual width so I can center the image?

I wonder if any of you can point me in the right direction. In my stage I have a movieclip where I want to load several images with different sizes. This mc called "container" adds the loader to the stage so I'm asking for the loader width and height once has finished loading and then passing these to the width and height of the mc container so it resizes accordingly. But...it doesn't work. Here is my code:
[CODE]
var pic:Loader;var totalImages:int = 10;for (var i:uint = 0; i<totalImages; i++){ pic = new Loader() container.addChild(pic) pic.load(new

I am loading a set of thumbnail images from an array [hard coded] into a movieclip symbol on the stage. I have two arrays with the thumbnail and the full size image having the same index number. In many examples, "event.currentTarget.contentLoaderInfo.url" returns the full path to the image selected. i just want the index number. Adobe does not make is easy to figure out what other properties are available to me from the contentLoaderInfo. Is 'SelectedIndex' or something like that available? Where does an inspiring AS programmer find the contentLoaderInfo properties and or methods available? Is url the only thing that us usable here?
var thumbnails:Array = ["tn_2010OpenHouse_00.jpg","tn_2010OpenHouse_01.jpg"];
var images:Array = ["2010OpenHouse_00.jpg","2010OpenHouse_01.jpg"];
var thumbX:Number = 10;
var thumbY:Number = 623;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("images/" + images[0]));
addChild(loader);
loadThumbs();
[Code] .....
Output:
Index= -1
Index= -1

Im having problems with assessing the size of an image after having loaded it into a movieclip using MovieClipLoader.
Im trying to use the onLoadComplete-method to determine when the image is completely downloaded into the imageholder-mc, but Im just getting the original size of the mc, not the image's. I using the MovieClipLoader incorrectly somehow?
Code:
var MCL = new MovieClipLoader();
MCL.loadClip("IMAGE.jpg", mc_ImageHolder);
MCL.onLoadComplete = function (targetMC) { // perhaps 'targetMC' should be used?
trace (mc_ImageHolder._width); // outputs mc's original size, not image's size

I've completed my XML-driven image gallery, however upon live testing I'd realized I made a rookie mistake and not put some kind of placeholder "loading" movie clip loop while the thumbnails and subsequent full-size images are being loaded. The images will randomly appear when loaded and I would like to be able to insert a placeholder movie clip while they load, and swap them up with the thumbnails/images after it has been loaded. The placeholder movie clip is in my library (loadingLoop), but I'm having problems getting it to work correctly.
Below is the original function that processes the XML and adds the thumbnail images; this is where I'm trying to insert the placeholder movie clip per XML child node (every attempt I've made just keeps throwing more errors, so I've omitted my attempts to avoid confusion), and I've attached the XML file for testing.

is it possible to add multiple children(twins) with same instance to add on different parents ?
Here we have an example showing that it fails to perform adding same child (photobg0) with instance on a new parent (page0 and page2).
My primary issue is: if i add too many objects on stage flash starts to lag especially if it is a movieClip from librarery, externaly loaded swf or image files
I am trying to duplicate child objects ,gussing this might prevent lagging?
ActionScript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/photobg.swf");
var photobgx:Number = 19.80;
var photobgy:Number = 90.55;
