ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Loaded Swf To Communicate With MovieClip On The Stage?
Apr 6, 2011
I have a heck of time here with an issue. I have an xml document that when a certain button on the stage is clicked it loads it's corresponding external swf into an empty movieclip on the stage. This empty movie clip is a holder for all external swfs.So what I'm trying to do is when an external swf is loaded that has buttons on it, I need those buttons to communicate with the main timeline and remove a mc that is on the Stage. I need the currently loaded swf(s) to be able to do this.So whatever the currently loaded external swf is that's loaded, I need it to talk to the main timeline. (I have quite a few external swfs that need to do this) So I imagine I need to somehow target the currently loaded external swf to get it to talk to the main timeline.The code below in summary doesn't work but it doesn't give errors either. I don't pretend to know what I'm doing and I haven't been successful in searching for a solution to this particular issue.
// main timeline object
var index:Object=this;
function loadComplete (e:Event) {

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));

I 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 simple file 550 x 450, in it there is one container 400x300, x:75, y:78. In the container I am loading images and there is drag and drop function for them. I also have added mask with size that matches the size of the container because when i load larger images i could move them. Everything is working fine, but If I set scaleX and scaleY to the container image, the drag and drop functionality is not working fine - I can't reach the edges of the picture.
Code:
with ( m_mask.graphics )
{
beginFill( 0x000000 );
[Code].....
It behaves like there is not enough space to move the image right, left, top or down.

After trying to no avail to get the totalframes of a dynamically loaded .swf in AS3 I've regressed to AS2.
Now I can add the clip and get the totalframes of the content, no problem.
THe problem is I cannot resize the content at all.I have no idea how to target the loaded content.
Here's the code I'm using:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var path:String;
[Code]....
I need to resize the content both for the main holder_mc as well as for the menu elements.

I have a flash movie with a button (referencesBut_bt) that, when clicked, loads a movieClip onto the stage. What I'd like to do is have a button inside the just loaded movieClip that unloads itself when clicked (removeChild). I think the problem I'm having is in targeting the loaded clip. Does anyone know how I would tell a movieClip to remove itself from the stage when a button is clicked from within the same movieClip? The code i have is below:
//------- set up movieClip for export
var references_mc:mcReferences = new mcReferences();
//------ event listener and func for referencesBut_bt

I put 2 container named mcContiner1, and mcContainer2
And
var mcImg1:MovieClip;
var mcImg2:MovieClip;
[code]....
I want to swap these 2 images, that is I want mcImg1 can be displayed in mcContainer2, and mcImg2 can be displayed in mcContainer1, of course the easiest way is I load these 2 picture again, but of course, it's not the answer I expected, also, we can move the movie clip to make the change, I still think it's not the best method, because it will make program too complex.

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?

I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

Im having trouble stopping or starting loaded swf files. I need to dynamically load the swf file but make sure it doesn�t play until the user requests it. The trouble is I wont know anything about the loading swf file (for example frame labels, if it has a 'stop' script in the first frame etc.) Ive attached a simplified version which I think illustrates the problem but the code is:

I'm having trouble figuring out how to create onRollover handlers for movieclips loaded with loadClip. I can attach event handlers to the container clip, but not the child clips within it (the grandchildren). I'm using MX2004 / AS2.The parent clip just doesn't seem to "see" any grandchildren. It doesn't seem to be a paths issue, and I'm working in an onLoadComplete function to make sure everything's loaded first. The goal is to be able to change what happens on rollover with data pulled in (via Flash remoting) to the parent clip.

I am loading jpgs into an MC. I make sure I wait to run and modification to the MC by confirming the image is loaded first.If I comment out the IF statements within the function "RW_pic_modifications()" and I trace the width and height of the MC AFTER each photo is loaded, I successfully trace the correct W and H.
My issue, however is when I DO RUN IT THROUGH the conditions within the "RW_pic_modifications()" function. Then any modifications to the MC W and H seem to compound and apply it to each iteration of the next MCs.I confirmed that my code and logic is correct. I just dont understand why performing a resize to the MC with one jpg loaded into it is not reset to the NEW JPG loaded into it, after the new JPG is loaded.
NOTE - I have an MC that stops on a frame until all the code here is executed. Once complete, then this MC plays to allow the pic to stay on screen for a given amount of time THEN it calls on the RW_Pauser() function.I am way over deadline.
Code:
How_long_to_pause = 4000;
Maximum_Image_Width = 137;[code].....

I started learning the basics of as3.0 a year ago by doing a lot of experiments.. I never read a book or took lessons or something.. I guess i'm still missing important logics when i'm programming. I'm creating my personal flash imagegallery but I can't figure out how to communicate between a loaded swf and its parent swf.
I have a main.swf file with document class main.as which loads external swf files into a movie container. I am also loading a background sound like[code]...
The only work around I was thinking about would be to keep showing the stop/start sound button from the main.swf when a slideshow instance is called.. but then I'll screw up my design I want a second button inside the slideshow that can also stop the main bg sound.

I need to send things like:button command for closing projectorvar clockValue for clock text fields in the skinxml menu info to nested movieclip in skin.swfI was thinking shared libraries, but I want to load the skin.swf dynamically with my xml, and I want the skin to maintain its structure so the ui style can be completely changed, instead of just placing mc's in the same place each time with only a slightly different theme

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:

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'm trying to build a Flash-based controller application to go on the web interface for the rack-mounted units which my current employer builds. The interface is defined in an XML file which is parsed and processed when the Flash application is started.
I've created some library symbols which act as various controls - sliders, toggle buttons, etc. I can add these fine to the stage. What I would like to do is group them together in a container of some sort so that I can show and hide them en masse without having to loop through all the controls. All library symbols I'm using are linked to ActionScript classes.
If I use a symbol I created earlier and added to the library as this container, everything works fine and the controls display correctly on the stage.
However, if I dynamically create a MovieClip and use that as the container, it never appears on the stage. The code is identical in both cases except for the class names being used. I am calling addChild() on the MovieClip instance to add the controls to the MovieClip, and then call addChild on the document class to add the MovieClip to the stage. As I mentioned above, this all works perfectly if I use a pre-created symbol from the library as the container.[code]...
