How do you dynamically load JPG's into movieclips in AS3. I was familiar with this process in AS2 but have been looking for a the simplest way to do this in AS3.
I found this code while doing research but I appear to be missing something as it doesn't work when I publish the file.[code]...
I had an idea I would like to incorporate into my site, and sure that Flash can accomodate, but what better place to check!? Say I have a mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4, and mc_5 all are basically the same information, just varied lead in animations. Is there a code that I can call to randomly choose among those when the site is loaded? Pretty vague I know, but right now I am adding them via "addChild," so would there be something I could use to accomplish this?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a gallery and having a problem loading thumbnails into different MovieClips. I have all the MCs stored into an Array. I could load them if I wanted to type out:
var thumbLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
movieClipName1.addChild(thumbLoader1);
but I would think there's a more dynamic way. Right now Im stuck at:
[Code].....
I tried switcing the var "image" with a name from the "imageThumbNames" array but that would've been too easy.
I have 60 characters that I have drawn, and I believe they are making the FLA file take ages to load, and lag.
I would like to seperate the game into 2 files, characters.fla and everything else in another .fla.
I know that I could do loadmovie, but if I move the exported swf file with the loadmovie code in to my desktop for instance, then it wont load.
I would like it so that the two files are seperate, but when i export, it exports from both files to make a single swf with everything in it.
Every 5 minutes, a new movieclip should be loaded.These movieclips show a message 'still 20 min to go', 'still 15 min to go', ...
The project should start by a button in the first movieclip.
the problem is that I can't load a JPG twice to differents MovieClips. What can I do ?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file with about 32 empy MovieClips on the stage.Basically what I need to do is take an array of images and load them into these empty MovieClips. Hope this makes sense so far.This array will be dynamic and will come from a PHP file.The problem is I'm not sure how to do this? I don't know to take an array in flash and allocate the images to individual MovieClips.
View 1 RepliesI would really like a class that i can use to load all my movieclips from.I have 100's of external swfs - and i want to load them to stage from one class - as they are requested.I did manage to do it one way, to get access to the stage i did this:
Actionscript Code:
private var _stage:Stage;
and in the constructor code, just did:[code]...........
how to actually load the swfs, what i'm really looking for is a way to use addChild to the stage from within my class.

View 4 RepliesI'm new in AS3 and i'm having some problems. I'm trying to put thumbnails that are load by xml inside a ScrollPanel.
What happened is that the ScrollPanel didn't have a scrollBar and didnt scroll. I thought that if i put each thumbnail inside a MovieClip and set the height maybe would do the trick. But things got worse because i couldn't be able to put the thumb's inside de MC's. Just put them in front

i want to create and manage 2 movieclips inside a single class. i just wrote a simple setup for this and i ran into a problem:i create 2 movieclips and want them to be displayed on stage.but only the second movieclip is actually displayed and the first one is just not visible. when i switch the order in which the movieclips are created i see the one being created last. so i totally dont know what to do here. since i am very new to flash i might be missing out on something obvious.here is my class:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

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?
View 2 RepliesI have several movieclips placed on the timeline that I want to be invisible and not run until the user clicks a button. The movieclips are linked to a class I set up:
Code:
class Hidestop extends MovieClip {
function onLoad() {
[Code]....
The problem is that some, but not all, movieclips show briefly when they load before becoming invisible. I can get around this by starting each movieclip with a blank frame, but there must be a better way.
I need to load random movieClips from the library to a middleStage container on my stage. I already have this.
Code:
for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
this["btn"+i].iD = i;
this["btn"+i].onRelease = function() {
[Code]....
I just need to add to that random loading to the middleStage this will only work when the user is not interacting with buttons = btn's.
I have an XML document that lists url of images to be displayed. What I want to do is load the length of images in the XML doc into an Array. Then take that array and make movieclips for each one.

View 2 Replieshow to make buttons play movie clips in a particular area when I press a button however I'm trying to make the jump up higher.
I have 3 menu items with 3 movie clips loaded just beneath the menu Items. However my first problem is, how do I hide content or even better, only play certain movies when a button is released?
At the moment the code for a button I use is:
on(release){
_root.intro.play();
}
But all the movie clips are overlayed!!
I have 9 movie clips which I want to load in random order, so that viewers who come to the webpage don't always see the same thing. I have them set up as 9 frames within another mc. I need EXCEPT it always displays the first one first, and then the rest in random order. I tried making the first frame empty, but then there was a big lag before it showed anything, because of the timer. Here's the script I used:
myMc.stop();
time = getTimer();
wait = 500;//1000ms = 1 second
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){

Can you addChild to a specific movieclip instance i.e. movieclip.name.addChild(movieclip).
I have built a 'for loop' to render a series of 'products'. The idea being to create a movieclip, load an image into this movieclip, assign a URL and later some text.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have 4 groups of movieclips all with different names.
Example:
Group1 contains dog_mc, cat_mc and bird_mc
Group2 contains shoe_mc, hat_mc and pants_mc
etc...
What I am trying to do is load a random group initially (either 1-4), then I want to play that group of movieclips. Once that group is completed playing all its movieclips, I want to move on to the next group and play all those movieclips. When all groups and movieclips have completed, I want to loop back to the start.
how to load movieclips from the library to an array or vector?

First of all , how can i change that "stub1.swf" to change its value like stub1.swf, stub2.swf stub3.swf etc. Also, it doesnt seem to create multiple movieclips; it only makes the one.
