I'm having problems accessing a function that I loaded from a MC I have in my library. Addchild and all that stuff works, I just can't run the function inside these dynamically added movieclips.[code]But the moment I add .myTest(); to them, the one in button clicked works fine, but the other one fails and causes a compilation error.
View 2 RepliesI have finally figured out how to preload, and gotten my main movie to load an external swf properly. My last hang up, is how to speak to that loaded swf, with a button added above it in the main timeline.So, my button is Nextbtn (added via addChild), and my swf is titled "about_mov.swf", when it is loaded, it goes to frame 10 and stops, what I want to happen, is when you click the NextBtn, that loaded swf advances to frame 11. Just not sure how to reference it properly, and hping i can get a quick solution on it.
View 5 RepliesI have a flash container that loads other flash files that have been made in Adobe Captivate, (essentially just normal SWF files) and on top of that I have other SWF widget files that I have created as it's children to extend default Captivate functionality. So essentially i have 3 'levels' of loaded SWF's.Container -> Captivate SWF -> WidgetThe problem lies in the middle - I don't know how Captivate is arranging its variables, events and loaded children since I don't have access to it's code. What I want to do, is to get my container SWF communicating with the Widget one and vice versa, but I can't get the hiearchy working... I can send values to the "stage" via the widget, but not vice versa.
So firstly, since I don't have the SWF code -- Is there a way to list all variables inside a child or parent so I can work this out?- Is there a way I can tell when a child or parent is triggering an event? (especially when I don't know the names/functions of the event)- and is there any easier way I could be going about this that i'm not seeing?
I have loaded an AS2 swf inside another AS2 swf using MovieClipLoader. I have no control(cannot edit) over the child swf. Is there a way I can communicate with the child swf from the parent swf. The child swf is not accepting any LocalConnection Objects. Can I call a method in the child swf some other way?
View 2 RepliesI am using the following code to try to reference these buttons "withing" my loaded content - itis giving me the following error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at sliSiteFinal_2_fla::MainTimeline/prevOut()
code:
pPrevH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, prevOut);
function prevOut (e:MouseEvent):void{ var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(imageLoader.content); mc.btn_prev.gotoAndPlay ("pLout");
Is my dot syntax here off? As it seems I am defining prevOver and it is telling me I am not.
I have a base SWF, and I am loading a another SWF into a movieClip array. I need to communicate from the loaded SWF to the base SWF I tried _root but think this only goes to the root of the loaded movieClip? This is what I tried:
on (release) {
_root.moveContent(2);
}
A problem that I'm having is that any movie I load into my main swf (regardless if I load it into an empty MC or just a higher level) my mouse still recognizes buttons that are underneath the loaded swf. This can be confusing to the viewer as the pointer turns to essentially an invisible button because you can't see the underlying button. Is there anyway to make the Flash player not recognize buttons underneath loaded SWF's or do I have to turn to invisible upon load?
Also, I'm having trouble getting the loaded swf to communicate with the main movie that loaded it. I think I need to use the parent action but I'm not sure how. I'm trying to use code that is created and contained in the movie that it loaded, is this correct?
I'm loading movies into my parent movie, and i was wondering if it was possible to communicate between the two - so i could swap out other external SWFs (in the parent) based on input in the loaded movie.I'm still relatively new to Action Script, and have been learning quick, but i have been unsuccessful in my attempts so far.

View 3 RepliesI've completed all 3 tutorials listed on gotoAndLearn and I've got the following code.[code]So as you know I've got my 10 items dynamically loaded out of XML, as well as the MC Box, which is centered on the stage.My question is, how would I get the carousel to rotate around the centered box.

I've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);
I've been charged with the crusade of making a prettydifficult (to me) slideshow. This is what the client wants:1. externally loaded images2. externally loaded text (comments for each image)3. the timeline of the slideshow to be dictated by the numberof externally loaded images.Now, ive made tons of slideshows with 1. and 2. before, butthe request for 3. totally screws me up. I usually have a setamount of images that will be used, and accordingly, set up thetimeline using empty movie clips that use the loadMovie command todynamically grab images from a specified folder. They fade tweenover each other and everyone is happy. However, if I were to make amovie with item 3's parameters, I can't define a predeterminedtimeline. Im sure this can be done with actionscript but I am 100%c

On the timeline where the movieclip is located I have the following code:loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9); On the movieclip itself I have this code in order to create a fade in:
onClipEvent(load){this._alpha = 0;speed = 10; // change this to change fade speed}onClipEvent(enterFrame){loaded = this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal();if(loaded == 1){this._alpha += speed;} else {this._alpha = 0;}if(this._alpha >= 100){this._alpha = 100;}}

I have a problem on resizing dynamically loaded swf in to a flash movie. The senario is
1) swf files are uploaded by users and the path of the swfs(flash banners) are taken in to the flash via flasvars.
2)so swf uploaded for each user is displayed in a loop
The problem is user may upload swf with different sizes.So I want to re size them to main movie size(ie 500*70) So what i tried to do is using MovieClipLoader and fix the size in onLoadInit function.But it gives really different sizes
than expected.
I cant understand why flash behave like this.
1)Can i resize the extaernal swf by using above method?or
2)what is the approach to re size dynamically loaded swf s?
I am new to Flash and am trying to make a page that has a fullscreen image gallery with individual thumbs along the bottom. I can more or less figure this out using some templates,but I need to do this for over 50 different projects, each with anywhere from 1-100 images.Is it possible to make more of a container that dynamically loads from a folder of images rather than have to make each one by hand?

View 4 RepliesI just want to center my dynamically loaded movieclip, into it's container box. Not center on the stage, but make it center with the container_mc it loads in.
You know when you load a external swf, it loads from the top left corner. How can the loaded image or movie load centered instead of aligned top-left?

i have a dynamic textfield that is being populated from a data base...now, i'd like to be able to refresh that content either onRelease or using something like setInterval..I tried setInterval (see code below) but what i think is happening, being that xml has to load, is that it's hogging it down causing a flicker/pause and eventually not pull anything up(assuming from the lag/load)
Code:
setInterval (refreshbox, 1000);

I have several external SWFs loading into another SWF shell that contains all the files. The problem that I am running into is when some of the external SWF's are loaded into the shell the links stop working. I am using the getURL script to call a javascript function on one link and the same getURL on another link to call the mailto function.
When I test these files on my system and the web, both individually and in the shell, everything works perfectly. However, as soon as I embed the shell SWF into an html page these links don't work and won't do anything. But other links in different external SWF using the getURL script to simply navigate to another html page works perfectly.
I'm trying to center a dynamically loaded jpeg to the stage. The jpegs are loaded via xml to a movie clip called 'picture'. I have the code below which works fine on my computer, however, when trying it on a live server I sometimes get a problem where instead of centering the image, the image ends up with its left edge aligned to the center - which suggests that the code didnt get the image width properly. This only happens sometimes, not all the time so must be something to do with how its loading.(code is partly based on xml slideshow found on here somewhere)
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();[code].....
I have the following code to dynamically load an external JPG into a movie clip which is called target_mc, and get its width. As follows:
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", 0);
target_mc.loadMovie("images/dogs.jpg");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code]....
Now, I was hoping to be able to duplicate this image several times, using something like target_mc.duplicateMovieClip(). Unfortunately, the duplicated clip doesn't include the dynamically loaded JPG. ie, it makes a copy of a blank movieclip.
I Am creating an image gallery and loading the images dynamically from a text file into empty movie clips which i am duplicating as needed. Thats ok so far.[code]...
