ActionScript 3.0 :: ImageHolder With Linkage And Frames - For Loops
Dec 14, 2010
I got a MovieClip called ImagesHolder with the linkage name Images with 5 frames in it each one with a different images in it. What I want is to be able to put 5 instances of the Mc and each one at 25 pixels intervals on the x and that each instances would be a different frames of ImagesHolder.
Here I got so far (and thats not really far!) :
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++) {
var images1:IHolder=new IHolder();
this.x+=25; //this not working!!!!!!
this.addChild(images1);
this.gotoAndStop(currentFrame+1);
}

Have read everything I can read Have tried everything I that has been posted. And still I can seem to get a simple external swf to load and play using AS3. I have tried numerous ways with the same results everytime Here are a few of the scripts I have tried. What I would like to have happen is to have one main timeline where I load sequentially external SWF files - there is no interaction required - it is a presentation that includes video and other Flash SWF files that I have created. Now I just want them all in one flash file. I had no problems with AS2 doing this, but I'm sure having fits with AS3
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest
("script1_3.swf");

I have a movieclip called transitions_mc within which I have an empty mc called imageHolder which is animated around the stage.I want to load a .swf file into imageHolder, and when its loaded run the animation.So far I have been doing this - it appears to work - the imported swf animates onto the stage. However...
Code:
function backgroundImage(ptl:Number):Void {
//add transition_mc to the stage
newClip = attachMovie("transition_mc","transition_mc"+clicks,1000+clicks, {_x:45, _y:95});
//get url of swf
[code]....
1) Why are there two versions on the of the clip on the stage?
2) Does my imported swf replace the mc called imageHolder - or go inside the mc called imageHolder?

Flex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

I'm trying to create a linkage to swap movie clip dynamically. I already create a linkage and after my movie clip symbol actuall say Export: contact_idea. But when I try to attachMovie("contact_idea"). It does nothing. Is there anyway that I can test that the linkage is actuall linked?

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie

there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

basically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.

I have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?

Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

I have created (or took an already created and modified) an xml drop down menu. I would like my buttons to link with-in my flash file, but I do not believe you can link within flash using xml, but is there something in your actionscript that you could have the buttons link within the flash file. Here is my AS that is on the first frame:

I have a movieclip in the library, Linkage Identifier = "myMC_linkage"
myMC contains a function called myFunction();
A scrollPane is on stage and is assigned contentPath = "myMC_linkage"
A simple button is placed on stage called "myButton"
Is it possible to use this button on stage to call myFunction()?

Because flash doesn't loop external mps file correctly, there is always a pause in the loop. The work around is to load the AIFF, or WAV, file into the .fla and let Flash compress the audio file, then the loop works without the pause. The problem with this is that when I have many music loops it takes a long time to publish and test, so in AS 2 I would publish .swfs that compressed the raw audio file and gave the audio file a linkage. Then I would load the .swf into the main .swf and access the loaded .swfs linkage file.

I have a fla with nested swf's. My question is, can I update a swf in the fla library if I have changed it within its own source fla and re exported to the same swf file name. ( as can be done with graphics in Indesign )

currently this is the problem i'm having.i'm exporting a symbol - song1 - from my library to AS ("export for actionscript") and then using it to dynamically create some movieclips (hereafter referred to as MC's) on the stage. each MC contains a text field that is filled by an value in an array....
Code:
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
songList_XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var songNodes:XMLList = songList_XML.song.title
var songTime:XMLList = songList_XML.song.time
[code]....
Now all this works without a hitch - all the trace statements produce what they are supposed to and the MC's appear on the stage where they are supposed to and with the proper text (song name song time).
BUT - here's what i don't understand - *how do i REFER to the INSTANCES of each clip*?because they are created dynamically they don't have instance names and there is no way to assign them instance names via AS (right?).i tried to use the Display List to access them by assigning each one a name (last line - commented out) and then using the getChildByName() method - for ex. getChildByName("nameSong1"). but that didn't work either... i have a few other ideas but they all seem ridiculously complicated - i believe there's GOT to be a *simple* solution for this but i've checked all the references i have (O'Reilly, AS Bible, and others) and found almost nothing. just the display list trick above which didn't work.

Is there anyway in ActionScript 3.0 to assign instance names to movieclips in the library without assigning linkage id? I said that because I have over 1000 movieclips in the library that I need to be able to manipulate at runtime. I hope I don't have to Right Click -> Linkage... a thousand times to assign the linkage IDs. How can I reference to the library movieclips without having to name 1000 times?

I have just started my first project using AS3.0 and Flash 9 this week.I feel like I know AS3.0 from my flex experience very well, but it is downscaled for Flash 9. Anyway I have looked for this issue in the forums and maybe I am just missing something.I have a class we'll call MyClass which extends Sprite. I have several methods in there that update things like rotation and position based on events it is listening for via the model. I even have a trace statement in the constructor for testing.
Now maybe this is just stupidly obvious but when ever I set a library element to link with the class (i.e. linkage = MyClass), all my script fails to work. If I remove that linkage and work from a purely data perspective it works as expected.I have the project settings to Flash 9 and AS3.0 so that shouldn't be an issue.

How if you load one swf into another, you can access the others library items by linkage? How would this work for fonts? (it doesn't seem to). I am working on a project with 5 languages and depending on a language variable passed into the main swf, it'll load that specific language swf with font linkage set in it's library. I'd hope to be able to access that languages font from the main swf like I could if it were linked up in my main library.
Here's what I'm working with currently :
Code:
loadMovieNum('_fonts/font_japanese.swf', 10000)
headlineMc.createTextField('txt', 100, 0, 0, 400, 38);
var head_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
head_fmt.color = 0x35549E;
mat(head_fmt);

My company is working on an existing project done is AS2. Since this is a skinnable template, they would like to be able to have a choice of approx 20 fonts. Of course this would take a 1/2 hour to compile and be a 5mb download, so we need to load the fonts in dynamically.
So we have 20 compiled fonts, "arial.swf", "verdana.swf", etc And we have our root, "main.swf" At runtime, main.swf needs to load one of the font swf's and then be able to use that font.Here is the trouble: So far as I can tell, AS2 cannot give you access to the linkage ID of an asset you've loaded (using MovieClipLoader). I can place an individual instance on the stage, but I'd need to load the swf for each instance.
I tried creating a MC with a textfield in it and linked this to a class, but this doesn't work.I also tried to run duplicateMovieClip() on the instance that was loaded, but this doesn't allow you to relocate the clip to the desired location.

I am working on a game, and I am using MP3s within the SWF file to load at certain times. In order to make them loadable, I have set up the Linkage properties to : -Export for ActionScript -Export in first frame The problem is, that it loads all the MP3s before the preloader even shows up, so there is a lot of time of blank screen. But when I take of "Export in first frame", I am not able to load the MP3s during runtime. Is there a way to access the MP3 files without exporting them in the first frame?

i have embedded all of my different fonts in the library - (ie Regular, Bold, Semibold versions)When I try to call those fonts via their linkage name from my CSS file, they just don't appear at all.. NO test appears in fact.I can only get them to appear when I refer to them by their "real" name ie NOT: ChapProSemBold - Only: Chaparral Pro Semibold I can only get the variations of the font appearing together when embedfonts = false, but then the text looks crappy - even with "antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED".
When I set embedfonts = true, the type looks good - but I don't get the variations anymore! I just get the standard font - not my bold or semibold.
My CSS is:
Code:
p {
font-size: 14px;
font-family:Chaparral Pro;

If you try to add an object out of an linkagename in Flex you get errors. Like:1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name].If I don't want to create classes for every library symbol I'd like to add, is there any other way/praxis of doing this besides using 'getDefinitionByName', so that I won't get errors in Flex?
