I have a site that presently has a preloader @ the beggining but takes too long to load everything. The main section has a sliding menu that triggers various movies containing photos and animations I have decided to extract all of the project items as SWF files and call them when required.The challenge I now have is that previously when an item was selected from from the menu it would send the play head to a new frame that had the the movieclip; this movie had an instance name which enabled me to use the 'close' button embedded in it and send the play head back to the sliding gliding menu.[code]
View 4 RepliesIs it possable to load an external swf file, that is a rotating movie into another file and still control it??example:I have a rotating object which I want to pause and play. I have loaded the rotating object into a window using the loadMovie command. I now want to be able to use the play and stop buttons to control therotation.Because the movie has been loaded into the window from a different location it does not have a path to target the play and the stop command to also tried adding the play and stop buttons on the rotating object movie swf file. They load and are pressable, but dont do anything?
View 1 RepliesGot a pitcular problem/question and im not sure it is possible. Im creating a project that enables the viewer to access a load of files (Pdf's and doc's) through flash. The problem is, these files will be added to and taken from about 4 times a year and there is anywhere from 2 to 20 folders in each folder containing these files.so What I want to do is have an image that when clicked on opens a new box that has links in it that these links are displayed from an xml or html then I need to have that code tell flash to open another box that has links displayed from another XML of HTML that has the links to the actual files being called.i guess the question is:Can flash be controlled by a link called from out side of flash?

I am working on building an accordion style menu using Tweener. I have 3 movieClips on my stage, I can add a tween to each but I need a little help getting the menu items to end in the correct position. In my code below this line tells the movieClip to move to a position of y=25. Tweener. add Tween(mc,{y:25, time:1});I changed mc to box1 and box2 which makes evey thing move when I click, but how do I set up my function so I can click box1 and it will slide up and then click box2 and it slides up.[code]
View 1 RepliesFor example: I have a graphical interface created in Flash AS3 which is simulating the control of machines on the ocean floor. I have 3D animations that will animate what is happening on the ocean floor when a control element is activated on the graphical interfaceAt the moment I have this happening all in one Flash player window that has been made to look like two windows. One which is the interface...one that is made to look like a small screen showing what looks like video coming in from a camera on the ocean floor.
What I need to be able to do is have the Control Screen as one window, and the animations to appear in another. In this way we can set up two monitors, have the control screen on one (computer monitor), the animations playing on the other (a large plasma connected to the same computer). The animations need to play within a flash shell and the control screen would need to play in a separate shell. So in essence I need to be able to double click on an .exe....two screen will activate showing one screen with buttons that port animations into the second screen which I have positions to play on the larger screen.
ok so i need 2 create one movie that controls a second movie, so i have movie1.swf with a back and forward, and i need them buttons to advance movie2.swf, which is essenialy just a slide show!the movies will run independantly of each other, i do not want to load movie2.swf in movie1.swf! get me?how i go about this, i have been told of listeners, so movie2.swf will listen for a true or false command before it advances on... and movie1.swf will send out the command when the next is pressed??

Code:
function swapstate(newpage) {
for(var a in nav_left){
if (nav_left[a]._name != newpage) {

As you can see, it's made in order to change the look of a button when clicked and to also show a different look to the other buttons in the same movieclip container.
The problem is that gotoAndStop isn't triggered.

View 3 RepliesNote the button at the top called portfolio, on mouseover this button should loop through the "mouseover" label section, and when the user takes the mouse off of it it should continue to play through what it has started, and stop at the begining of the mouseover labelhen the user clicks on the button it should play through the "trans" label (only once) and begin to loop at the label section "current" when the user goes to another section, for example, clicks another button besides portfolio, the animation should stop on the label "visited" my code for it to loop looks like this (on the invisible button over the movie clip)
on (rollOver) {
portfolioBtn_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");

View 3 RepliesI was decent at AS2 and now that I am trying to figure out AS3 I am realizing that it is all grown up and I was left in the dust.I am trying to do the most simple thing. I have a movieclip with an instance name of "clip1" with another movie clip with an instance name of "clip2_sub" which is inside of "clip1".all I am trying to do is stop and start the "clip2_sub" movie clip from the main timeline.I know in AS2 you just would do something like clip1.clip2_sub.stop(); I am trying to figure out why this doesnt work in AS3. I get the error of 1120:Access of undefined property clip1
View 2 RepliesI am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 Replies[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.
