I want to import some images in a folder to stage. The images are named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc.. All these images are 600px in width.
I used a movieclip as a container for these images.
Here's the code.for(i=0; i<3; i++){img_scroll.attachMovie("imgbar", "img"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());img_scroll["img"+i]._x = i * 600;img_scroll["img"+i]._y = 0;loadMovie(i+1 +".jpg", img_scroll["img"+i]);}
img_scroll is the movieclip that should contain the images. and imgbar is an empty movieclip.
When i run this code, only the last image is loaded. since i used i<3 in the for loop, only the 3rd image is loaded. its in the right place. (_x = 1800). The first and second images are not loaded...
PS: If i use _root.attachMovie, and _root instead of img_scroll everywhere, all the images are loaded perfectly and in place. But i want them to be inside the img_scroll movieclip. Because that will be animating.
I created a movie clip and I want it to changecolor by as3 . There is no problem with that but when I try to import my image in the movieclip, the color goes over it so I can't see it.
View 1 RepliesI've been working on an AS3 application and it's nearing completion. At the same time, one of the designers I work with has been building a movieclip in a separate .fla that acts as an intro animation to the application. The intro uses the 3D motion tweening capabilities of Flash CS4 / Player 10, and runs fine in the .fla in which it was built. The problem is that when I import the movieclip into the main .fla for the application, when I dynamically instantiate the movieclip and add it to the stage, I get a barrage of the following runtime error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property null not found on fl.motion.KeyframeBase and there is no default value.
at fl.motion::KeyframeBase/getValue()
at fl.motion::MotionBase/getValue()
at fl.motion::Animator3D/setTime3D()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/set time()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase$/processCurrentFrame()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase$/parentEnterFrameHandler()
I'm guessing just based on the number of errors like this that I receive that there's one per keyframe in the tweening movieclip. I've checked to ensure that the Flash publish settings are identical across the two .fla files, and although the stage sizes differ slightly, I don't think that's the issue here.
I have a package (XMLThumbLoader) that loads thumbnails and is supposed to import a scroller class(DSIScroller). The thumbloader works fine, but when I try to scroll the thumbsContainer movie clip, I get "Error #1009 Cannot acces a property or method of a null object reference". Notice that I instantiated the DSIScroller class near the end of the main package instead of underneath the import DSIScroller command. By doing this, my thumbnails show up. If I place the instantiation right under the import command, no thumbs show. I believe the issue is with the dynamically created movie clip: thumbsContainer.
Here is the main package (XMLThumbLoader)
Code:
package {
import flash.xml.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code] .....
I am working on a AS3 file called Main using Flash CS3.When testing the movieclip, the compiler showed an error on the line:import flash.display.MovieClip;The exact message is this:1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TextField.import flash.display.MovieClip;The code I used is rather short. It is shown below:

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 5 RepliesI spent the day making a really neat (my opinion only) animated button that I want to use as a common component on a web site I am working on. The button is isolated in its own FLA and SWF file(s). The plan was to import the common button, add a text label, and position it appropriately on the page. Then move on to the next button or whatever. That's the plan; now here's the problem: I'm completely at a loss as to how to go about doing it. I've tried to follow a couple of tutorials, but, I keep getting lost.
View 1 RepliesI've always been able to import dwg/dwx files into Illustrator, edit out layers I dont need, export to swf, and import into Flash MX. I just got some new CAD files that wont open in Illustrator and am kinda stuck without a solution.

View 1 RepliesI've masked out the backgrounds around some photos (of people) in Photoshop, and I'm importing them into Flash CS3 (Mac). When I import them in, they appear to have a color shift...they look lighter, more washed out than they did in Photoshop. My color space in Photoshop is sRGB, and I've tried importing the images as PSD and as PNG files, but no difference.
View 1 RepliesI have been searching on this and from what I have read in some posts I found through google it seems that it is possible to import an .mp4 file to flash.... I am unable to do this so far and wondering if it is in fact possible to do this.. if so, does anyone know of any decent .avi to .mp4 conversion software that will allow the mp4 to be imported to flash as the ones I have tried so far are not allowing the mp4 to be imported.
View 1 RepliesI'm importing a swf file with on/off buttons into Captivate, and the sound is not playing. I'm not sure if this is a Flash issue or a Captivate issue. I have posted this same question on the Captivate forum and have not received a response. The swf file seems to be playing fine, however, when I import it into Captivate the sound will not play anymore.

View 1 RepliesI have a .flv file which I would like to import into my stage. I use the import video option, select the file location, select progressive download from webserver and select the skin. However when I export my swf, the video doesn't appear. I have been successful in the past doing this but for some reason it doesn't appear. I have looked at the publish settings and compared files and everything seems to be ok.

View 2 Replieshow can i import a AS2 SWF (contact form) into a AS3 .fla project? Whenever i try to import, i get a bunch of grouped bitmaps on stage,.. When i publish to preview, there is no motion, no nada, as there is no code as only bitmaps are imported.. It shouldnt be to hard?
View 2 Replieslove the way CS4 has a nice media converter so you can instanly import FLV files but what I have recently found is that the voice of my videos all go out of sync when inputted into flash but are fine if I play then direct from my hard drive. If I import the file in CS3 and convert them directly in CS3 then the voices are all fine. Because i'm using many transparent .png images I have to use CS4 because CS3 adds a nice jagged edge when these are rotated.

I have inherited a website - http:[url].... and I will need to edit the first page from time to time (Flash). I have the original .fla files and I only have Flash CS4. Not sure which version of Flash the originals were built in, but opening in CS4 I can only see 35 frames - not enough to go through the whole thing. If anyone cares to have a look at the site there's a stopwatch in front of a garage door. This quickly fades in and out, then a car and other stuff appears. I can only get as far as the stopwatch. I can see the whole lot in Flash player though.what I am not doing right?
View 1 RepliesAll I want to do is have Flash play a single video based on the URL specified in an XML file. I am using the default Flash video player.
I go to File -> Import -> Import Video, and then click on the "Already deployed to a web server" button, and type in the path to an XML file.
I'm confused as to what needs to be written in my XML file as to make the flash video work. Let's assume my video file is located at [URL] What code would I need to write in the XML file to get it to play?

Edit: is there anyway of finding the http link for my video?
I've a circle that I want to attach an image to. The trouble is I want to centre it right where I want on the shape. When I select type=bitmap and import the gif though it is 'wallpapered' over shape automatically like a pattern and obviously this doesn't line up with the image properly. How do I get the shape and image to align (both shape and image are identical in size) in cs3?
