ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading GIF Files As MovieClips?
Nov 6, 2009
For this flash application I'm building, it would be nice to have people upload their custom graphics and animations so my application can load them in run-time. Is it possible to load a GIF file as a MovieClip that contains all frames in that GIF file? I want this to be as dynamic as possible, like the user tells my application the URL to a XML file that has all information about the graphics he wants to use, so that my application can download those graphics.

I have two SWF-Movies. One is exported into eht other as Child.Can I instance the Objects of the two libraries in all places, where ActionScript is possible? (In Keyframes of the MovieClips and in external class definitions.)

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

How would you go about accessing a movieclip inside another movieclip using a class file?ould you have to export every single part of a movieclip? Can it be done by just exporting the main movieclip?

I am having problems copying directories of movieclips from one flash file to another. They appear to be fine until I save it, then when they are reloaded they are missing a parent movie clip, and all of the children are blank.

I've read that when loading swf's it's a good idea to load them into a MovieClip. Is that true, why and would a Sprite do as well. Also how is it done?I thought this would do.
var currentPage:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var loadRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("home.swf"); var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.load(loadRequest); currentPage.addChild(swfLoader);

I'll do my best to keep this question as short as possible:
I've made 5 'fruit' movieclips and they're in my library.
And using so.addVariable("getNumber", "003"); in my HTML code, I'd like those particular fruit movieclips to play one after the other (and then loop).
I've had a look around for something similar, without luck, so I'm trying to make it from scratch. I got as far as getting it to load the first number and then the first type and url, but I'm stuck on getting to go onto the next type, also being able to define (with addVariable) which number's nodes gets played.
Here's an example of my XML to show the structure.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<list>
<number="001" >

I'm making a game where I have a lot of movie clips that I need to load so I was wondering wheather ActionScript 3.0 allowed us to load external movieclips? Can we import an external display object (movieclip) into a display object container? Or do I have to load a .swf which contains the movieclip onto the stage? What happens if I need to pull in multiple .swf files can the movieclips overlap or will one .swf file block the user from viewing the .swf in a lower depth? Can I import the movieclip from the external .swf file from its library and add it to the main stage rather then adding the whole .swf to the main stage?

Basically I have this movieclip on stage that is suppose to load another movieclip from an swf. in that swf are 31 copies of the movieclip since theres no duplicateMovieclip function in as3. I am able to load and add child to the movieclips easy with this,
PHP Code:
function duplicateMovieclips():void{
for (var i=0; i<movieclipsToLoad; i++){
movieclipsDuplicated++;
entrys_mc.addChild(mcV[i]);
Below (which I excluded) are other various bits of code to edit the movieclip and what not. I can also remove it just fine with this bit of code here
PHP Code:
function removeF():void{
var repeat:int = 0;
for (var i=0; i<timesToRemove;i++){
entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);
repeat++;
movieclipsToLoad--;
if(i == timesToRemove-1){
loadSelected(); //THE PROBLEM
}}}
What this swf is trying to do is record the year and the month the user clicks on and then return every day's data from the xml if a day is filled out. when removeF(); executes, i get the error:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
Pointing at entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);...but when its NOT there, loadSelected(); that is, it works just fine. I even put a trace statement in it. The whole if condition works fine to.
LoadSelected is the one that retrieves the text needed to load in the movieclip. whatever year and month the user selects, it loads the information of it and puts it in a string. then it displays in the dynamic text field inside the movieclip. Also, when SWF loaded it loads all 31 movieclips using this.
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < 31; i++){
var groupMC:MovieClip=MovieClip(clip.getChildByName("group" + i));
mcV.push(groupMC);
trace("repeat # = " + i);
}

Loading in Movieclips instead of images

I start off my game with an empty movieclip located in the middle of the stage. I then load a movieclip using the loadMovie method. At some point I would like to unload the movieclip and then reload another one, sort of a different scene if you will. The new movieclip has a number of other nested movieclips that I will use as buttons and I have coded a function that is called that creates these buttons. Here's what it would look like:[code]The roomSetUp function contains info on how the room should look and the button codes. The problem is that the setup function runs before the new movieclip is loaded. Seems that there is no way to have Flash 'Yield' until the movieclip is loaded and then go to the last function. Any suggestions other than MovieClipLoader?

I have several Movie Clips in the Library which I need to be able to load and bring up on the screen randomly.The code below shows how I can load one of these, but to get a proper control ideally I would like to load them all in to an array or numbered variables so that they can be called from a simple piece of code and actioned one at a time.
My movieclips can all be called something simple like mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4 etc to make things easier.These need to be referenced in to an array mcContainer[.....] or as mcContainer1, mcContainer2........ so that they can be called easily.I just need to know the simplest way to do this and how i reference them, I have tried several ways like ["mc"+i] etc and nothing seems to work.
Code:
var mc:mcLogo=new mcLogo();

I'm loading an external SWF file, which become a MovieClip, using Loader(). That part is working fine. I then need to scale the MovieClip to match the stage, so that when I set the width and height of the movie doing the loading in SWFobject, the MovieClip will scale too.
For example, the SWF being loaded may be 320x240, but we decide later that we want it to be 640x480 on the page. We can just change the width and height in the javascript call to SWFobject, and it should scale everything. To top it off, I'll need an AS2 version too because we might need to load AS2 SWFs.

i am trying to load movieclips from the library using an array. I have manage to load a single movieclip using
var myArray:Array=[];
myArray[1]=imagex1;
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[1];
addChild(mc);
but now I've tried using a loop by doing
var myArray:Array=[];
for(var i:uint = 0; i < 8; i++){
myArray[i]="imagex"+i;
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[i];
addChild(mc);
}
and i get the error:

I am working with a site that's similar to : [URL]. When you click on Wedding Site and then go to the gallery, you will see the pics loading full screen and the navigation bar on top of the pics. What I have done is I have made each one of this pics a separate .swf file so
they load individually once they are called using the " loadMovie("pic1.swf") code line. On layer 10 (being at the very top) I have my menu so it will always display on top
of anything else. Now on layer 3, frame x I have a movieclip called : fotos_mc,
inside this fotos_mc on layer 1, frame 1 I call the swf using the code above:
"loadMovie(pic1,swf");
However when the picture loads, it covers the full screen on top of my navigation menu, on top of my logo etc. Which I dont understand why if the layer where I have placed my fotos_mc is under layer 10 which contains my menu and my logo.

I have created a content navigation system using xml. On the left there are a list of items and when you click on them their descriptions load on the right. I've gotten most everything working, however the list of items (which you click on) is messing up my formatting scheme creating a run-on page. Since the items are loaded using a for var i++ method, they each been created in separate textfields. I was thinking there must be a way to load them all into a movieclip and then create a scrollbar for the movieclip itself so that the user doesn't have to scroll the entire page to view the items.

I have filenames of Jpegs stored in a MYSQL database. The filenames are returned with other information by PHP to Flash as variables.
I have some dynamic text boxes that have the variables set so that the textual information is displayed but I would also like a movieclip that behaves in the same way but with the pictures.
How do I create some form of movieclip that reads the variable pic1 that is returned from PHP.

Ok this probably has to be the stupidest question ever asked here on kirupa but I�m going to ask it anyways. You see I have 4 containers (mc�s). and according to the user it loads a different swf into it so what I wished to know is how to put a loader for each .The following steps explain it better-

I'm working with four movie clips- I have each movie clip load an external image and then fade in. These images have to remain on the screen once they are faded in - not replace each other.So I have dragged 4 movie clips into their position on the stage, and gave them a name: m1, m2, m3, m4. Each movie clip is on their own layer in the timeline because they will display on the screen at different times. On each layer I have placed this corresponding code:
Code:
m1.loadMovie("_load/img1.jpg");
m1._alpha=0;

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I want to use the same idea for movieclips that I have in my library They are already imported for as.30, but I can't figure how to dynamically place them and take them out of the stage using the same variable.

I'm currently working on a project that has eight separate movieclips (for loading content) on separate layers. I have placed code in these mc's to randomly draw from the same array of 61 different swf's. Each mc randomizes the array just fine, but here's the problem. The code works great for one instance, but as soon as I add the code (including renaming) to the other mc's, the swf won't load/play. I am not getting an compiler errors, and am kinda stuck as to what the problem may be. Here's an example of the code I'm using. It is the same for each mc, except I'm renaming the variables as well as the instances for each mc.

I am loading an array of movie clips and adding them to the stage with flash as3, but the problem is that the movie clips are added to the stage as soon as they finish loading, and not in order of there position in the array, so the order on screen appears messed up. How do I ensure that they are added to the stage in the same order that their references exist in the URL?
Here is my code:
var currentLoaded:int = 0;
function loadThumbs(){
for (var i in project_array){
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();
