I've tried the following:
var button_up:Loader = new Loader();
button_up.load(new URLRequest("C:\images\button_up.png"));
nextButton.upState = DisplayObject(loader.content);
and no error occured, but the upState of the nextButton became invisible. What's wrong?
automatically replacing a flash file with a jpeg, for non flash users.
I also am looking for some scrpt which tells users if they haven't got a/the correct flash plug in. My site uses a flash 5 file as well as flash mx 2004.
I am trying out some code, which is supposed to produce a simple button with an over, upstate and downstate, but I only get a blank white canvas when playing the swf. I have the code added to frame 1 of the timeline. I am guessing I am doing something wrong, but don't get any errors.

View 5 RepliesBasically I have a media gallery loading xml through a document class. I have buttons set up to load different Movieclips from the library, and inside these movieclips is the media gallery with the xml.
My question is.. What can I use for my buttons that can replace the default "xml path"?
Like in a way of "deleting the default xmlPath" and over riding it with a new one?
Here's the code on the stage of the fla, with different buttons...
ActionScript Code:
/*
These Variables are different MovieClips for the building to load
Choose based on your liking

My container (emptyMC) will load 4 external movies and loop as default when someone comes to the site.
Right now the code for the empty mc (emptyMC) is:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();this.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMC",1);loader.loadClip("image1.jpg",emptyMC);

This is a problem that's best explained in code. I don't see how active_button.upState, which I know is a TextField (see trace statements), mysteriously turns into a DisplayObject when I try to access the textColor property. I've included the error messages below for reference. Also, why is it that when I have an object that I know is a SimpleButton (again, see traces) I need to cast it to SimpleButton in order to store it in a var? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Scenario: InputTF, button MC, and a dynamicTF on the stage. What I want to do:When a user inputs text into the inputTF and presses the button, any spaces are replaced with _ and the "string" is placed in the dynamicTF. EG: I type "this is an example" into the InputTF. I then press the button. The dynamicTF now reads "this_is_an_example" You might be able to see how useful this kind of process is for many projects. Plus, I'm super curious

View 1 RepliesCurrently I have retangular jpegs that are converted to linked buttons. The reason I made these buttons as jpegs is b/c I wanted to use this really cool font that most computers wouldn't readily have. Its working just fine but I wish to have a underline effect when the mouse is rolled over. I looked under the properties of the button but it does not have that option...is it possible to do that in the timeline?
Should I replace that non-underlined button with a jpeg that's been underlined when the keyframe is in the over position? I am using both dreamweaver and flash for the first time; all my content is a single flash swf file inside a box that is centered in the page in dreamweaver.
I find the layout arrangement in Dw difficult somehow and Fl much easier to work with. This is the page I'm working on [URL].
Im making a Flash site for class and I have a button made for the user to download a jpeg. The site isn't online. How do I link the button to the jpeg so when the user clicks it they can download it? Is it possible to make sure the download button works before it is uploaded online?

I have three buttons, which when clicked load an external file into a movie clip called container. The first jpeg (1.jpg) is loaded into the container when the movie loads and the thumbnail buttons have the files t2.jpg, t3.jpg and t4.jpg loaded. When these are clicked they load 2,3 and 4.jpg respectively into the container. The problem is that I can only have 3 buttons but need to display 4 images. So I want the image that is loaded into the container to swap with the one that is in the button. I can't find any code, either on this forum or on the web, that retrieves the name of a file that is loaded into a movie clip.This is what I need.
Because all the images are named 1,2,3 or 4.jpg and the thumbnails for the buttons are t1,t2,t3 or t4.jpg I should be able to easily write the additional code to change what happens when the button is clicked, because when the picture on the button has changed to what was loaded into the container, the on(Release) code will need to change too.

View 1 RepliesI have a main shell swf file that has two buttons on it that should each launch/load their respective swf files (tool1, tool2). These should essentially replace the main swf file. Also, I have a button on tool1 & 2 that should bring you back to the main menu. All these files are then compiled into an exe. Seems easy enough, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.
So far I have:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
tool1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoTool1);
function gotoTool1 (e:MouseEvent):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("tool1.swf"));
}

The codeattached is on the first frame of the timeline and it just loadsthe next png on top of the old one. Any time I try to put anunload() or a removeChild(myBitmap), nothing displays. I could havesworn that the way I'm using load() it would just replace the

I had this working the other day but it suddenly stopped working: the font does not replace. All the js/css/flash files are linked correctly. I tested my verlag.swf and it works. And, I tested sIFR with a different font and the replacement worked. Am I having issues because I have yet to buy a Verlag license for the server?

View 4 RepliesI'm working on a project for the new year gathering at our work. I made an application in which you can type a wish for the company and when you send it your message will be displayed in an dynamic text field and in the background fireworks are launched. These fireworks are external swf files, made in adobe after effects. They are launched when clicking a button. They are played at random. However, after playing 2 or 3 they start slowing down, probably because they stack on each other. I need the new swf to replace the old swf, now my application keeps loading new swf on top of each other.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
I have a website which needs to 3 images into 3 movieclips when the page loads. The page gets the URLs for the 3 images from an XML document, ie.
<imgurl>graphics/panda.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda2.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda3.jpg</imgurl>
What I want to do is make a function which gets the image URL for each image and puts them into a target movieclip each. In AS2, the loadMovie function could do this. In AS3, I've figured out how to add an image to a movie clip, like this...

I'm creating a platforming game, and I have a fun little water thing set up. My goal is to be able to drag a water object from the library to the scene, and have the water physics kick in when the game starts.
To do this, I made the water object a black line, because width is necessary to know how wide I'd like the pool to be. Within the class I have a heightmap, so then I can connect all the heights together with lines using the drawing API.
The problem is, I can't get the original black line to disappear while still displaying the new lines and points Setting the alpha to 0 will permanently make everything invisible. I'm kind of new to this so maybe it's a dumb question.
I have looked at some of the related posts on this subject but i can't figure out how to solve my problem. I guess it has something to do with the fact that its monday.Well, here goes. i have a XML object containing:

And i want to replace only the label node with a new one. i put the new ones in an XMLList but now im stuck at how im supose to replace the actual nodes. This is how the XMLList looks like:

The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.

There's a SWF file on one page that, when you click on a 'Start' button loads some image. The URL to this image is passed as a SWFObject variable. I would like to change this image to one I have uploaded on my host. have tried setting a breakpoint on the line that pushes the image URL variable to the object and setting my URL, but the image wouldn't load because of cross-domain policy.Now I am thinking of writing a simple c# proxy which will return my image instead of the real one when Flash requests it .To sum it up, I want to replace an image that SWF loads from a constant URL to a custom image of mine. Decompiling is not an option.
