I am loading a swf in my main timeline in Flash CS4 using the AS3.However the movie appears on top of everything else, while I need it to be below everything else.What is the way to specify a layer or order for the loaded swf?

View 4 Replies After learning about classes and stuff, I've successfully create a movieclip with XML reading an all thru the use of classes. My problem is when I move to different frames, the movieclip I made stays there blocking whatever there is in the other frame.
Anyway I can hide all those created movieclips when I got to different frame? Maybe by assigning it to a frame/layer maybe?
Just in case you're wondering, I create the movieclip using the following code:
Code:
var header:blogHeader = new blogHeader();
...
this.addChild(header);

i keep getting the error "cannot assign to a non-reference value.
Im creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
I'm trying to dynamically load an exterior movie clip Showreel.swf into the movie clip loader_mc. I want it to have a preload bar, and with the source file I have all this code and objects are held within the first frame of the first scene. This works fine, but if I move the loader_mc elsewhere, (in this instance, frame 40 of the next scene it doesn't work?
Im confused because from the book i'm using I thought that this code has instantiated all the objects, so that I can keep the code in frame 1, as I understand is best practice, but bring the objects in when I need them on the timeline?
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadStart = function() {

I have a project that requires manipulation of a movie clip (swf file). This clip is called clip_mc.I have functions such as:[code]If I add to the stage the swf and call it clip_mc, then everything is fine and it all works - BUT I have a few of these files that need to be loaded when the button is clicked.I understand the loader() class and the addChild class but cant get my head around bringing them all together!so essentially I would like to know; How to dynamically load the swf and name it clip_mc so that the functions will work?!
View 2 RepliesI am making an image gallery and have so far got buttons that display a group of movie clips inside another movie clip. onclick { _root.attachMovie ("group","group",1) } or something, from the top of my head.
I now need to make it so that each movie clip inside "group" displays another movie clip, "image". How do I do this, seeing as they are dynamically loaded?
Im creating a booklet with turning pages, like the one previously posted, so all the content is loaded dynamically.On the right hand page i have text, of which some lines are interactive.On the left page, i have a hidden text box. When the user clicks on a certain line on the right page, the text box on the left page becomes visible, and the relevant txt is loaded into the text box.Now, i can make the text box on the left page invisible by placing _visible = 0; directly into the actionscript pane of the text box.What i cant do is make it visible by clicking on the right page text. Where should i put the code to make the text box visible?Is it as simple as movieClip._visible = 1; ?
View 10 RepliesI have a stage with an external SWF loaded onto it. The stage scales dynamically to fill the size of the window.
Two problems: - I want certain items inside that loaded SWF to scale horizontally and vertically to fill the size of the stage.
- I want other items inside that movieclip to stay the same size, but be "attached" to the top and left of the stage.
I have a movie clip which is having dynamically loaded image. I want to preload it. how do i make a preloader for a movie clip.I used loader component for preloading images. And its work fine. But I have various images which are loading in a single movie clip when user clicks on a particular button.so i want to develop a preloader for a movie clip. And my client also doesn't want that simple look of a loader component. That's why i will can use any free preloader. But how to assign it to a movie clip which is having dynamically loaded images.
View 5 Repliesi've looked at several ways to centre a dynamically loaded image into a movie clip for the purpose of zooming the image once loaded. I am loading multiple images (16 in total) at a time and they are all 360 x 360 in size. So what i want to do is set 180,180 to be the centre of the loaded image.
This sounds easy to me but in practice i'm finding it impossible (although i know it isn't as i've seen similar examples doing this).

I'm still a noob with flash. But I'm attempting to make my website using itSo far I haveseveral swf files that are all loaded into a "index" swf file.So all the code needs to work with that chain of MC's:_root.LoadedContent_mc.LoadedContent2_mc.Page1_mcThats the path to where I am working..Page1:I'm attempting to create a downloads list here. I have a phpfile already worked out that scans the directories "downloads" and "imgs", and generates a list of file names. It then formats each file name into a path to that file. And turns each path into a variable that can be loaded into flash.So basically after php does its thing we are left with this:
Code:
File1=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile.rar&File2=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile1.rar&File3=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile10.rar&File4=Pages/PageDat

View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to.An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found here: [URL]
I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable.As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
Code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;

so that the following is evaluated correctly
this.someobject[this.xORy] == this.someobject.x || this.someobject.y
I have a problem that should have a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out. Basically I need to assign a movieclip a number value to that it will carry with it so I can later compare it to the number value of another movieclip.
Here is the snippet of my class code. I got a loop that creates a new object and adds it to the stage and then positions it. It all works accept for when I try to assign the i value to _dragHead.HIT (HIT is not a movieclip nested within the _dragHead object by the way). I just want each newly added movieclip to carry a unique number value so how would I achieve this?
ActionScript Code:
private function createTerms():void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < termsArr.length; i++)
