ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Multiple Pictures Into Three MovieClips
Apr 3, 2010
I'm trying to load 3 pictures into 3 movieclips. The code below gives the result of only showing the 3rd image in mc3_mc. According to the traces I'm using, 3 files are being loaded but it seems that my Event.COMPLETE statement is not doing it's job? It seems that the first 2 times addChild is reached the file has not finished loading or the next one has already started to load so addChild doesn't add anything. Only the final iteration gets shown because there is no 'next file' to get in it's way.
Code follows:
var numofiles:int=2;
var counter:Number=0;
var movieIndex:int;
var fileName:String;
var horzLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

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;

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'm looking to setup a SWF to effectively act as a library of MovieClips. I'm looking to be able to load up the library SWF in my main SWF, and access the MovieClip's the library SWF contains - play them, move them around etc.
Here's the model I've come up with - which seems to work:
(a) Library SWF:
- Contains MovieClips, with AS3 code held in external files.
- MovieClips setup with linkage as "Export in first frame" and "Export for ActionScript"
[Code]....
... and this all seems to work. Nothing is displayed from the library SWF until I want it to - all seems fine.
Isn't it a bit naff needing all my library MovieClips sitting on the stage on the first frame on the library timeline?

[URL]. I'm trying to load multiple swf's on a key-press. Loading to one mc is not a problem, but when I try to define multiple containers from multiple sources it doesn't work. This is an XML example:
<menu><item name="item1" >
<sub name="item2" >
<subsub name="item3" action="item3.swf" texte="text.swf"/>
function on menu mc:
function executeAction(action, texte) {
trace(action);
trace(texte);
loadMovie( action, _root.content);
loadMovie( texte, _root.texte);
}

I am a noob to Flash AS3, having a problem loading animated MC's. I am creating an AS3 file. I have 5 animated movie clips, I want to load a new clip after the previous one is done animating. I would like to load each clip with code. I can get them to load, but not sure how to removeChild after 1 cycle of animation and add the new child to follow.

I have to modify an existing flash 8 movie (not created by me) which uses as2, and is composed of multiple movieclips. One such movieclip holds a textbox (static) which however needs to be updated frequently to show latest news, and because of this now I have to make this movieclip's textbox to read texts from an external file instead, a text file to be precise. How to proceed with this in Flash 8 AS2, whether I need to create a new layer for the as code or add it directly to the movieclip's layer, and also the as 2 code itself, as I tried the following but it is returning an error that cannot load the text file, I also change the textbox from static to dynamic and gave it an instance name Text1 (I once tried something like this in flash cs4 and it worked fine, but in flash 8 its not working.
Code:
var timeStamp:String = "&timeStamp=" + new Date().getTime();
var noCacheUrl:String = "?noCache=" + Math.random() + timeStamp;
var myLVars = new LoadVars();
myLVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success){
_root.mcNews.Text1.text = this.VarEn;
}}
myLVars.load("News_En.txt"+noCacheUrl);

The following works:
ActionScript Code:
pic_arr = ["flower_pink.jpg", "flower_yellow.jpg", "flower_purple.jpg", "flower_red.jpg", "flower_orange.jpg"];
color_arr = [0xf75eb0, 0xf6f818, 0xbb57c8, 0xdf1734, 0xfe9809];
// specify pic locations, alpha increment each frame, and
// number of frames to keep current picture displayed before
// transitioning to the next one

Scenario: Upload 2 images to a server. Download those images via AS3 and place them into different containers(movieclip or sprite), not overlapping one another. Well I can do it no problem, but they overlap one another and for some reason use the same "loader".
Code:
for (var i=1; i<2; i++){
var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com/images/" +jpgarray[i]+".jpg");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code]....
There are several different ways you can write the above code, but the outcome is still the same. It uses the same Loader or Movieclip, or uses the same container, simply overlapping the images.

I have an XML document that has 25 different subjects and in each subject, 4 different pictures:
[code]...
I have 2 groups of different buttons. The first group is a set of 4 buttons, one for each image in a single subject. When the user clicks btn1 then image 1a needs to display. When the user presses btn2 then image 1b displays, and so on.The second group of buttons is a set of 2 btns: nextSubjectBtn and prevSubjectBtn. The names are pretty self explanatory but basically, when the user clicks nextSubjectBtn then I need the next subject from the xml to load and the 1 2 3 4 btns need to switch over to the images within the next subject. So when the user presses btn1 then image 2a shows up etc.
I have studied a ton of documents on XML but I have not been able to figure this out. Its probably something pretty simple involving one or more arrays and maybe a loop or two but I dont know what.I have have all of the buttons programmed or at least recognized and ready for when I figure out what they are supposed to do. Right now they just have a trace.Through help I have gotten from different documents and other programmers this is what I need to do but I need help on how:Assign each of a buttons a value that will reference the picture URLs from the XML doc. Then create a variable with a value that references each subject 1 through 25. so when I click next subject it goes to the next subject in the xml doc.

I have a Flash 9 AS3 document where I have set up a random picture loader from an XML file.
Works fine on the desktop but when uploaded the random pictures will only load if the XML file and the jpg's are in the same folder as the swf. I have pointed the XML loader address to
the proper spot in the AS3 code as well as in the XML file. I also have code in another keyframe for loading and displaying an RSS feed which works fine. I wonder are the two URL Loaders conflicting somehow. Attached is the RSS and the AS3 code.

I'm creating an interactive flash graphic about the ISS. The user can rotate the ISS in a 360� angle. I rendered the sequence in 120 steps, each step a jpeg-image of its own. To reduce bandwith-usage I dynamically preload the next 5 pics in the rotation-sequence. What I want to do now, is to load all the pics of the sequence quietly in the background, so when all pictures are loaded the flash switches from preloading the future pics to just showing the pictures loaded while the application is up and running. The problem is, if I try this, the flashapp will only start if the loading in the background is done. Is there any way of getting rid of that. My code is given below.
ActionScript Code:
var loader_current_Minus1:Loader = new Loader();
var loader_current_Minus2:Loader = new Loader();

I have created a php-file that sends the filenames of images from a folder on a server back to flash, where i populate a array with that info.
What i want to do now is to load the images on the server into a movieclip to make some sort of slideshow.
But im not sure how to make this work. Can i use the loadMovie method for this? How can i then get the array info into the loadMovie method? Im a newbie so please explain well.

Hello again. Well I dont have too long to write this down so I'll make it short and sweet. Heres the problem.I need to load pictures into a file.

And I want it to load all the picture within a folder. I could name the pictures in a certain way if needed. aka pic1, pic2.

I got 4 different pictures that I'd like to load randomly. The thing is that I don't want to load the picture from an external .swf file. I'd rather load them inside the same .swf document that I'm working on.

I'm trying to load a different .gif file based upon the time of day. I figured what I wrote would work, but alas, I was wrong. Here's what I got:
Code:
files=["sunrise.gif", "morning.gif", "midday.gif",
"afternoon.gif", "twilight.gif", "night.gif"]
var currentHour:Number = myDate.getHours();
[Code]....
I know I can take out that first array, and I do believe I can take out the minutes and seconds, but I left the code as is, in case I screwed it all up. Oh and the pictures have no paths because I imported them into the actual .fla.
