I understand how to preload a loading SWF, and I understand how to preload from one frame then go to the next, so please don't post about doing those.My question is can you preload a symbol from the library and keep all code and content in one frame? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find any tutorials to do this.

Is it possible to preload movieclips from the library? All the examples I've seen involve .swf's, but I need the end-user to select one of 30 movieclips and interact with it's nested contents. The movie clip is about 200kb. Preloading the whole project is out of the question, as that would be needlessely large.
View 6 RepliesI'm creating a flash game where all of my library symbols, including my sounds, are contained in an assets movieclip on the second frame. The first frame is a preloader and it works fine, however, when I uncheck "export in first frame" for my mp3 sounds in the library I get the error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: mySound
I have all of the sounds on seperate layers and they all have class names defined. I've seen quite a few threads that bring up this issue, but none that solve it. So, how do you preload a hefty mp3 from your library without exporting it on the first frame?
In my fla i have MC that i attach to my scene whenever i need em. I have pictures on these movie clips and it's possible not to add the mc on the first frame so the mc is not loaded at the beginning..if i understoof everything well. My question is can i preload the mc i attach on my scene ? and how to do it ?
View 2 RepliesI've been quite frustrated over a very simple flash program I have, where I try to use code to add an item from the library to the stage. I've attached the .fla file. The errors I'm getting are: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: playerShip. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method playerShip.

View 0 RepliesI built a website for our company, but because my boss kept adding stuff as I was building, the navigation-function became a total mess. On top of that, the need has risen to make the site multi-lingual, and I would like to get the back-button and deep-linking to work properly.So, I decided to rewrite the navigation-function using the exanimo stateManager. The site structure basically has two levels: Six main sections (L1), most of which have subsections (L2). All these "pages" are library items that get attached to a holder MC (L0). So for instance, the first page is built by attaching "home_NL" to L0 and calling it L1, and then attaching "home_welkom_NL" to L1 and calling it L2.
This all works fine, until I've clicked Voices . If I click a section after that, the L0 gets faded out, but L1 is not removed. And since the function then tries to attach a new library item as L1 and will not continue until it is loaded, navigation simply hangs.
Unfortunately luister_NL, which is loaded when you click Voices, is a fairly complex movie clip (by my standards, at least). It allows the visitor to listen to samples of our voice-talents based on language, style and gender. These can also be selected and ordered through a form.Something in this movie clip is preventing Flash from removing it from the stage, but I cant figure out what.
Long time since i've done this and i'm a little rusty. How do I attach a library item to the Stage using AS2??

Stage.attachMovie("myLogo", "myLogo", 1);

The following script works perfectly, but I can't get the library item (which is a mc, class "helmet") to display. Do I need to import additional classes to display the mc?

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;

Is there a way to know how many times a library item is being used in your Flash file?
View 6 Replies I have a large library that I am organizing of vector only files, some imported from Illustrator.
When I re-name some of the items other Movieclip items in the library lose their contents and all that is left is an empty symbol.
I repeated this several times and tried to find workarounds. Like duplicating the symbol. This worked for the one item but then it deleted another symbols contents.
I've created a movieclip in my library which has, among other things, a dynamic text field. This text field has an instance name of "txt".
I then attach this movieclip and want to set the txt instance, but I get an error:
Code:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property txt through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
Here's my code:
Code:
var mcLoader:DisplayObject
public function MainClass() {
mcLoader = addChild(new MainLoad)

I understand that I can see the usage count of a Library item easily.

View 4 RepliesI'm using AS3, and have one simple layer with 4 keyframes If I import it to another fla file as a library item, it keeps showing me all keyframes, I don't want that I want it to show me the whole animation.
Like, if I have an animation of me swinging a baseball bat, I don't want to see all the keyframes seperately imported into the library, but I want it to be all in one piece, so that when I click play it plays all keyframes.
Is there a way to extend the movieclip class without using a library item and attachMovie?
View 3 RepliesBasically looking for a way to get the instance created when I use this function I've made, it seems to me "libItem" will be a new instance and I would like to re-assign that back to the item passed into the function so I can access the instance later.
Here is the function I created to create library on the stage...
Code:
function objectPlacer( libItem, instance:Class ):void {
libItem = new instance( );
addChild( libItem );
}
So here is how I call the function
Code:
// Function( var name, library item class name, pos x, pos y )
objectPlacer( i_ranks, txt_Ranking );
My problem is, I try to access "i_ranks" later with the following code...
Code:
i_ranks.x = 100;
And I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
"i_ranks" is defined as a class member.
Also, if you know - what should types should I be assigning the parameters instance and libItem in the function?
