I'm trying to import a movie clip from the library to the stage and give it an instance name but im not really sure how to do it.I exported the movie clip to actionscript and gave it a unique class name, but how can i add it to the stage and give it a unique instance name?

View 2 RepliesI'm using CS4 and was wondering why when I import my PSD files onto the stage I don't get a symbol created in the Library but when I import into the Library itself I do? Is there a prefercence somewhere I can turn this off or on so I don't have them created?

I have a flash file (banner ad) that uses some jpgs that I imported onto the stage. When I publish the file... It won't include the images. If the images are in the same folder as the swf.. it will work. However, just the SWF on its own will not display the images. Any ideas?
View 1 RepliesI have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?
I was wanting to load different movieclips from within my library onto the stage of my main movie when the user mouses over a button. Each movie clip that I was wanting to load is the same size and also are to load into the exact same location as one another.I think I can do this by setting up an empty movie clip on the stage and scripting it so they all load into it? Is this right?

the problem I've encountered on the home pg flash is that two big buttons and a bike animation should display prior to the photos loading. However, in firefox on both mac and pc(but not everyone's) when you refresh the pg such that it draws from the browser's cache, the buttons and bike animation do not display. Oddly, the photos still load consitently and in time as if those animations did take place. "oddly" because, the code to load the photos is part of an event listener, listening for the completion of the bike animation. So the code executes properly, despite the movieclips not appearing on stage(these movieclips are in library to begin and in my documnt class I instatiate them as follows:
realtors_btn = new RealtorsButton();
buyers_btn = new BuyersButton();
bike = new Bike(X-150);

also, originally I had this same issue in IE, but after switching from swfObject 2.0 to adobe's ac_runactivecontent.js method, I elliminated the issue in IE.
I took on a small AS2 project, which I shouldn't but did anyway. I know AS3, but AS2 is foreign. I am trying to add 3 movieclips from the library, to the stage. Only the last one shows up, and the others disappear. Every time I do an attachMovie, the previous ones disappear.

I am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?

View 2 RepliesThis is my first post here and i'm also new with FlashCS4 and ActionScript3. I made some frames on Illustrator and exported the layers to SWF frames. When i import them to the library on FlashCS4 i get a bunch of symbols and bitmaps. I only want the movie clip and the movie clip is empty or invisible.
I've done the same with other Illustrator layers and some imports generate the symbols and bitmaps and others don't. The difference is that the ones that are imported with all the junk (symbols and bitmaps) are layers with a feather Illustrator effect.
I want to know how to import the movie clip only, or why does Flash creates all the extra items in the library.&What is the better way to animate with frames on Illustrator and use them on Flash?
how can I import a movie as a library item for another movie?

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to import an .swc in the library panel... What I mean by that is to use it as a kind of shared library with my movieclip inside. I can create a new class from it but I'm wondering if its possible just to drag and drop from the library panel the mc's in my swc.
View 6 Repliesi am trying to import more than one mc at a time when the button is pressed but it wont do this, instead only 1 variable shows up
P.S. Also if I want to generate 10 variables it only generates 8? So i set the counter to 0 .
I have fla_A, and fla_B. fla_B contains a single MovieClip which contains a bunch of MovieClips that are all set to Export for ActionScript (NOT first frame, as this will need to be preloaded). I want to load fla_B into fla_A, and be able to instantiate the nested clips (inside fla_B) as if they were native to fla_A itself.
After loading the swf, I'm using:
[Code].....
Can I cast "e.currentTarget" as something useful like MovieClip (well, not MovieClip, 'cause that doesn't work), or something that will stick around from which I can dynamically load things?
is it possible with AS3 to see the list of the movieclips that are on stage?
