I am trying to import an image and then place the image in two spots on the stage. This is the code I'm using:[code]My problem is rather than placing two instances of the image on the stage, the code above places one image with an x coordinate of 300 and a y coordinate of 0.I thought the code above would place two images. One at point (0,0) and the other at point (300,0).

how to randomly place multiple, different-sized movieclips on the stage without overlapping them?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to place an array of objects onto a stage where they drop vertically. I have been able to do it by placing the array objects into an object called "bag" but have found that the bag object only contains the last array object id so I can not apply actions to various array objects. Also my objects do not loop and only appear once.
Below is the code so far.
var tempArray:Array = new Array(); // Stores randomised values
var bagArray:Array = new Array("gslow_id","gshigh_id","glow_id","ghigh_id","gdiv_id",

Currently when the player moves their cursor over the movie clips that AS3 is placing on the stage, they disappear. However the movie clip is not actually removed from the stage, it simply plays to a blank frame in its timeline to give this illusion. How do I tell Flash to remove the movie clip from the stage rather than just give the illusion that it is gone?
When the player moves their cursor over the movie clips that AS3 is placing, I want the movie clip that is attached to the cursor to gotoAndPlay certain frames of its timeline.
I have a really really annoying problem with Flash CS5 (11.0.2.489) on winXP.Everytime I place a bitmap (jpg, png..) on stage, Flash crashes.It occurs with existing fla, as well as with new documents, but only as3!(with as2 new documents, it seems ok!)I tried deleting preferences (reg key and AppData folder), nothing changes. Rebooting does nothing.
Here is the crash report:

I used attachMovie to load a movieclip from the library into the stage. And in the movieclip, it has another movieclip named "imageHolder". As I wanted the movieclip to be placed on the stage like a list of buttons. The code goes as follows:
for(var i=0; i < 5; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("menuBtn", "menuItem" + i, 0);
_root["menuItem" + i]._x = 150;
_root["menuItem" + i]._y = 150 + setHeight * _root["menuBtn" + i]._height;
_root["menuItem" + i].imageHolder = loadMovie("something.jpg" , "imageHolder");
}
But the something.jpg doesn't appeared when I test the movie. And something.jpg is in the same directory as the .fla file.
I need to know one thing regarding the accessing of movie clips...
How could i access the movie clips without placing on the stage?
Does one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?
I've got a file that loads 4 external swf files. I've got everything correct as far as how it's listening for when each one is finished loading and then the next one knows to play. So I can get each one to play right after the other just fine. My problem is that they don't all have the same number of frames so in between the movies, there's a blip of a previous movie showing up (atleast I think it's due to varied movie length). I want to put in a removeChild function when it's listening for each movie to finish loading. But when I put in: removeChild(myLoader);, it says myLoader is undefined..
Code:
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf", "movie4.swf");
var iArray:Number = a.length; // number of movies
var iCount:Number = 0;
function manageMovies(){
loadMovie(a[0])
}

View 8 RepliesIm trying to get a loader on stage to open external swf files. I have my nav buttons inside of a movieclip but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code I have on an actionscript layer inside of the nav movieclip
Code:
var home:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Home.swf");
var project:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Projects.swf");
var about:URLRequest = new URLRequest("About.swf");
var contact:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Contact.swf");

On the stage I have buttons that should load different swf. Usually I should put all the code on a single "action" layer. But, it is not what I want to do I have a movie clip that I want to play before the loading ( button click - movie clip - loading the swf).
So I put this code at the en of the movieclip:
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var swf;
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
function startLoad() {
mLoader = new Loader();

I'm building my brother a flash AS2 website for his construction company....everything is going smoothly up until now where he wants to have a "cover flow" - iTunes album art style gallery to display the images of his work portfolio.
I am building his website COMPLETELY out of flash, from what I know - I'm not pro enough to build the cover flow style gallery myself so I'm looking for a nice external flash gallery that I can modify and load the gallery swf into my main stage / website... or directly place the entire flash gallery into one frame of the main website.
I came across this application called "Gallery Studio" by ijoysoft [URL] that very easily lets you automate flash galleries with your images and you can export it as a single .swf file. IT IS PERFECT! It has something very similar to cover flow and my brother loves it.
Now I've worked with loading external .swf's onto the main stage of my websites before.. but for some reason I cannot load THIS automated swf onto my flash stage. I can't figure out why it wont appear.on the main timeline of the website "AHRENS.fla" frame 252 is where I want the gallery to appear "gallerytest.swf" (gallery automated from the Gallery Studio program) I am using a simple:
loadMovieNum("gallerytest.swf", 400); to call it in.
I get no errors.. and nothing appears.
AHRENS.fla <- flash website file
gallerytest.swf <- automated gallery to place in frame 252 of AHRENS.fla
if I could just figure out this one problem... it will solve all my headache and pain, as I've run into loading external galleries before. Since I work making my website COMPLETELY in flash, making image galleries have always been a problem for me, I have to do them by scratch unless it requires something fancy.like cover flow, where then I look for freeware galleries off the internet but they always require javascript, their own webpage, html, css, divs etc that can't be integrated into my all flash websites. Now that I've found GALLERY STUDIO it is perfect to do special effect galleries..
I wanted to make each button load an swf.How do I connect a button to loading a swf?
contentButton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, N);
function N(e:MouseEvent){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("N-Infant.swf");var loader:Loader = new Loader()loader.load(request);addChild(loader);
loading a swf annd then add it to the stage, but i want to add it at multimple places without having to load it multiple fimes, how do i do this?

I have all the time some problems but this is going to be really frustrating to me. I have bought one flash item from a website (3D image gallery for AS3) and I havenīt got it work still not yet.Iīm trying to load a .swf file called (Gallery3D.swf) and .xml file named (gallery.xml) onto stage. I have managed to do a code like this.[code]Still some errors appear on output window as I try to test the movie for example (FLASH CANNOT ACCESS A PROPERTY OF A NULL OBJECT)That code works fine itself on a browser but not on my website project I guess it needs to do some stipulations like if statement or Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE or Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX 2004 professional, and actionscript 2.
I'd like to load an external jpg to the stage. I don't need a load bar or anything like that.
I am building a flash site and currently I'm not using an timeline or any images in the library. I'm using the image loader class to load in all images for each page. The trouble is that images load one by one. I want them to wait until they are all loaded before appearing together on the stage.
First: Is this best practice? What do professionals do when it comes to loading images / pages.
Second: Even if I add a preloader they still load individually.
Here's some example code which loads the contents to my map.swf
public function Map() {
img = "PageBack.png";
page = new LoadImage(file, img);
addChild(page);
page.x = 85;
page.y = 209;

View 2 RepliesI am working on creating a website that has 4 large images in the center of the stage and I was trying to load them using XML. I have a pre-loader to detect how much of the flash site was loaded then once it's loaded it continues onto the main content. My problem is that it goes to the main content before the images are actually loaded and I'm not sure how to make sure that the content is loaded before moving on from the preloader.
