ActionScript 3.0 :: Instance Of MovieClip Imported By Shared Library
Sep 24, 2009
I have a movie clip, imported by shared library, in my main stage. Everytime I try to put an instance in this movie clip I get this error ( the movie clip in the main file ):
"1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MenuDG."
The main library have this: menuEsterno - name of the item imported by shared library.
In its properties: Class: MenuDG; url: library.swf Source:. Library.fla Symbol Name: MenuDG
In the library.fla the same item is configured as follows: instance: nivel1
The library: MenuDG - name of the item in the library
In its properties; Class: MenuDG Base class: flash.display.MovieClip Export for ActionScript Export for runtime sharing Export in first frame; Url: library.swf Source: Symbol:

I am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.

I have a main.fla, in the library, i created two new fonts:
RegularFont and BoldFont.
And I found the following piece of code somewhere, which works fine!
[Code]...
In my actual project implementation, I have to host the fonts hosted in another swf. So I simply modified in this way:
Instead of declaring new font the in the main.fla, i imported the BigFont and RegularFont from another fonts.swf(dynamic fonts sharing) HERE COMES THE PROBLEM, THESE TWO LINES WONT COMPILE
[Code]...
Flash IDE is throwing this error:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method RegularFont.

I have created a movie clip on the stage and in symbol properties I have checked "Export for ActionScrip" the MC name is "slide" and the class is "slide" base class is flash.display.MovieClip.
When I test the movie I get this error.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Here is my code:

var slide = getChildByName("slide"); //add instance from library?

// trace("OK");
} slide.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, slideRollOver);

I am trying to learn ActionScript 3. I have a MovieClip called Ship in the library and have made class of it called ship. The Ship movieClip glows from Frame 6 to indicate when it crashes into an asteroid.The myShipMovieClip child is controlled by arrow keys and asteroid approaches. The hitTest works but I cant get the ship to glow i.e. from the timeline go to the Ship MovieCli in the library and go to frame 6 to start it to glow. I have managed to do this in ActionScript 2 but have tried for the last few days to try and do it in AS3here is my code :
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am making a game where I reference "Player_mc" quite a lot. I have a bunch of full characters (movieclips) in the library that work as the player when put on the stage and referenced as "Player_mc". I need a code that can reference those characters (movieclips) in the library, and move them onto the stage and name them "Player_mc". Also I need a way of removing an existing "Player_mc" so that another character can be referenced and brought onto the stage as "Player_mc". Here is what I have: if (this.P1Character==(Whatever that character's number is)){

In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.
Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.

I have a mp3 file that is 2:30 long and is roughly 5.5mb. How come when I import the file to my fla library it sees it as being 29mb large. My swf isn't large when I compile the project but the fla file jumps from 2mb to 30mb just from adding this sound file. P.S. This site has been a ton of help with different aspects of my flash project.

Apparently, there is a way to have one library, update a symbol in that library, and have the one update be reflected in 10 different documents that share that library. However, I cannot find any (coherent) documentation on how to do that.

I'm having a little trouble setting up a new project (an e-Learning) that I think will benefit a lot from RSL.My case is something like this[code]...
The Main will be the first movie to be instantiated, then, all that is necessary from here will be download.Every lesson will be put in a fla/swf apart from the "Architecture" (that is the Main, Scenes, Navigation and a whole bundle of classes called Engine) and will be added at runtime inside the Scenes.
The Engine is responsible for handling repetitive and necessary tasks, events, common methods, communication with server, among other things.The Navigation is responsible for handling user input, as the navigation (next/prev lesson and such), and then passes it to the Engine, that will manipulate the Scenes (and it's children).
Well, I have some restrictions too:Every swf file that will be handed to our client need to have less than 80kb, which means I'm tied.I can't compile the whole thing as a package ready to delivery.As size counts, I need means to alleviate the load as much as possible.So, I searched a lot these days and found out RSL.I've created some tests to know better how to use this and, of course, got into a trap.
I haven't been able to set up my Flash correct, haven't any success with the "Library Path" (under AS3 configuration), haven't been able to compile classes inside the SWC...
Another thing is that I won't make the lessons, only the Architecture.Those lessons will be created by people that may not have any knowledge in AS3 (OOP or program logic) at all.And I'm not inclined to delivery the whole engine (source code) to anyone from outside that may mess with it, making the whole app (apps, in fact, we'll produce hundreds of e-learnings).

How to bundle classes inside the SWC
How to package all that is imperative for the whole thing work in the SWC, and then, delivery only this SWC

I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.

Is there anyway to use the playback components to play a video imported into the library? (The .swf I'm creating has to be stand alone so I need the video to be imported). Also can the component video skins be imported also?

Does anyone know if it's possible to have Graphic-type symbols in a shared library as it won't let you add an identifier to them? It's ok to use Move Clips but they increase the file size.

I have a great shared library tutorial BUT I don't like one section. Assets.swf is the shared library with a variable array called availablegraphics on it's timeline where we put in the available assets That is the bit I don't like. Isn't there a better way to loop through to get the assets. Also they use a loop using library.availablegraphics - which I have never seen before and seems a little weird. In conclusion it's great but is there a better post or tutorial on shared library and how to loop through the assets without knowing exactly what or how many there are.

Kindly note I am not asking what SWCs are used for, I know about that. I want to know, the use of RSLs in flash. Say i have some useful classes which i currently am using by specifying the particular folder as an "Additional source folder". So, can i make use of RSL here. If not, when and why i need to use RSLs ( I use SWCs without any problem, but i wanna know how to make use of RSL, without making SWCs, ie just by bunch of actionscript classes )

Does anyone know how to have a preloader that shows a percent indicator when you are caching a shared library. The way I have it set up now is on the first frame of my main swf.playback is stopped until the trigger.swf (which calls the sharedlibrary.swf via the loadClip method) is cached. While it's stopped I just have a screen that says "now loading" (which is just some text on the main time line's keyframe) but I was wondering if there was a way to add a nice percent preloader instead. If anyone has read the book Flash 8 Beyond the Basics fromhey'll will probably know what I am talking about. I assume the script would need to monitor the caching of the shared library

I am facing an error using shared libraries. The error pops up during compile and only happen when I give an instance name to my imported asset. Let me describe further:
I have an asset library where all movie clips in this file are exported for runtime sharing - LibraryA.swf
Next is the file that uses the assets - ShirtA.swf
What I did is to import an asset from LibraryA.swf (e.g. collar) into ShirtA.swf. Now I have collar movieclip in my ShirtA library. I drag an instance of it to the stage and compile. No problems.
I then gave this instance a name, "myCollar". I tried to compile again, and I get an error from Flash IDE - 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: collar

So I've decided to at least have a fallback option outside of cs4 for all further projects by using a shared library (IE, my graphics in a separate swf)So, what are some programs that would allow me to do this? Preferrably something that can take illustrator files. Anything thats going to let me package graphics for as3/flash 9+I looked at swfmill, but does it function with as3? I couldn't figure this out, it looks like it was last updated in 2005 and the tutorial was still talking about attachmovie (which is deprecated)A program like this would be useful for new versions of HaXe as well. Having everything you're developing thrown in a single .fla is awful for a lot of reasons

I am having problems with building my webpage with Flash. I have imported the the swf files I want in my library but when I try to put them into folders my computer seems to seize up and takes a few minutes to do the job and can be very slow and I am unable to anything on PC while it is doing this. I have not incounted this problem before on my PC but I have had it for over 5 years now and I am due to buy a new PC in spring next year when Windows 7 is released on all new PCs. I am using windows XP with all the updates available plus upgraded to 1GB memory last year. Is my PC to old to work with FLASH CS3 or is it another problem entirely?

I just finished up my site, and this is the only thing holding me back from publishing it. Whenever I "Test" my site, I get this error: " Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library (RSL) preloading will require all of your content to download before the first frame will play.
To prevent this you can change the Runtime Shared Library Library Settings, in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog which can be raised from the Publish Settings dialog.The Runtime Shared Libraries being preloaded are:
textlayout_1.0.0.595.swz for TLF Text"
Does anyone know how to correct this error? If you do, could you please walk me through it step-by-step. I am still very new to "Flash Professional (CS5)" & "ActionScript (3.0)"
