I am pulling an rss feed into my flash project and don't know of a way to show 'read more' text in place of the link itself, and then hyerlink that 'read more' text using the link from the feed. Currently I am sending the 'link' child value to a dynamic text field and it works fine and I can get it to link, but I don't want to show the link, just a 'read more' but still have it linking. I hope that makes sense. A code snippet is below:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
xml = new XML(e.target.data);

i'm loading an external .txt file into a text field and displaying it as html, works fine... but i when i include a link to display a *second* .txt file in place of the first one, it only works if i click on the link twice. i'm using 'asfunction' in the html link in the txt file. someone suggested replacing 'loadVariablesNum' in the root script with 'loadVars.sendAndLoad', but something isn't right
View 4 Repliesim trying to place a loader content (an swf which is an instance of the class "Nav") into a movieclip (so i can easily refer to its variables, for example, width) but when i trace the movieclip it throws null. why ?
Code:
private function doneNav(e:Event):void
{
trace (navLoader.content);// [Object Nav]. fine!
nav = navLoader.content as MovieClip;// null. why??

i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg"));
trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.
Is there a way to clear a loaded swf from a level without loading something in its place?

I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
I have a flash file (a flash navigation bar actually, which gets loaded in all the webpages inside the website). What I am trying to do is place an external swf file on it in a desired position when the corresponding page is being loaded. I am using FlashVars (variable name -> 'movieName') to pass the name of the movie clips. These variables are read by the navigation swf file and the corresponding swf file should be loaded in the area specified. Now, to create a container, I am using createEmptyMovieClip() method which will host all the external swf files.
The swf files are all being loaded but with a lot of problems. First, no matter what I try, the swf file comes at a fixed place (which is way off from where it is supposed to be). I have tried checking if the container loaded the movie before fixing its position but it changed nothing. Although it did change the position of a weird background colour box I am getting when the movie starts loading - which brings me to the second problem.
A rectangular box flashes once when the external swf is loaded, and its position is being affected by whatever I am setting the _x & _y values of the container movies to. I have no idea why it is happening as it doesn't happen when I test that swf seperately.

On my stage, I have an instance of "container_mc" called "container". In my library, I have a button called "thumb1".
I want to write AS2 code to place "thumb1" inside "container" at x = -163 and y = -65 relative to the orgin of container.
Then after placing the button, the actionscript should also hook up a on-release event to do .[code]...
I have moviclip called "b1" which I am using as a button. This b1 is in the shape of switch and when I am clicking on it it turn right and when I'm clicking again the switch is turning left to the primary position. this action is explained by AS code:[code]And only thing which I do is that I have to modernize this AS code for my own requirement. My problem is that I don't have any idea to connect those two codes. My scene ( my menu bar which I was talking about) looks like that: URL...and please click one of the buttons to see what i am talking about.

I have a menu that when you click on a button, an external swf is called up. However I would like for the buttons in the Over and Down state to show an image on top of the external swf with a description of what the video is about (Basically when they rollover the button).
The problem is that the image shows behind the external swf. I cannot get it to appear on top of the external swf. I have tried putting the buttons layer on top of the actions layer but that doesn't work.

View 1 Repliesi am working on this page: [URL] each button in the grid on the right will open up a project on the left where the news is now. however i would like to make it so that the buttons move left and right depending on how much space each project takes up (so no matter how much space the project being viewed takes, the buttons are always right next to it).
i figure what i will have to do is program each button so that when it is clicked it makes all the other buttons slide to a defined spot. i just dont know how to do that... also, ideally i would like so that each button slides into place one at a time for example: [URL]
