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've used loadMovie() often in the short time I've been using Flash. But never to load a JPEG dynamically. For a site interface, I have little thumbnails, which open to new browser windows. This is partly annoying though, as each one opens in it's own window, so the user would have to close a whole bunch of 'em after clicking all those thumbnails. To try to fix this, I read that JPEGs can be loaded at runtime onto the stage. I've already seen the photo gallery tut, but I only require a pop-up window with one image and no left/right buttons, etc. I've tried following the tutorial for the first few steps, making a shape the size I want the images to be, converting it to an MC, and naming the MC instance on the stage.
Then, I created a new layer on frame 1 with Code: loadMovie("CS_00_1.jpg", _root.picture); But when testing it, I see nothing.
I've tried a few different things. Before, the fla was in a separate folder, so I had to include "Screens/" in the name. Just in case that was the problem (I didn't get any errors in the Output), I moved it into the directory with the images. I tried absolute and relative addressing. I opened up the image in PS and resized it to the size of the symbol on the stage and made sure it wasn't Progressive (I read in a thread that Flash doesn't load Progressive JPEGs), but still nothing. I even tried loading a file that didn't exist to make sure it was looking in the right place the other times (as it didn't give me any error).
I am loading some thumbnails (jpgs) into some movieclips using loadmovie. Easy enough. I want to scale the movieclip to increase the size of the thumbnail on rollover. The problem is when I use loadmovie and load the external JPG it sets the the JPGs default registration point to (0,0) and when I scale the thumbnail it scales from the top left corner. I would like it to scale from the center. This is the code I am using:
onClipEvent (load) { var thumb = "thumbtest.jpg"; loadMovie(thumb, thumb_loader); thumb_loader._yscale = 70; thumb_loader._xscale = 70; } on (rollOver) { thumb_loader._yscale = 100; thumb_loader._xscale = 100; } on (rollOut) { thumb_loader._yscale = 70; thumb_loader._xscale = 70; }
Is there anyway to change the registration point so it scales from the center and not the top left?
I am using loadmovie function to load movie in a liquid template.[code]Movie loads fine in right position but as soon as window gets resized it goes out of its place to the TC position.What can do here to make movie stays in its place once window is resized?
I'm trying to load a .swf into a containerMC with a button action. I want it to delay the loadMovie action for 1 second to allow an out animation to finish playing. The buttons (next and back) are in a MC on the main timeline of the swf.
I want to load an external .swf file through the loadMovie function. The problem is flash takes sometime to load the file and therefore what ever commands I put below the loadMovie function, will not work. Placing this commands say 10 frames from the loadMovie function works but when online and you have a slow internet connection, it yet again fails. How do I solve this problem? I tried using onLoad but from what I gathered from several sites, it will not work with LoadMovie.
When you use LoadMovie to load a SWF, does that SWF stay loaded, or does it get reloaded every subsequent time you use the LoadMovie function for that same SWF? I use the LoadMovie function in several buttons to load SWFs into my movie. In those same buttons, I use a function which fades a different (already present) movieclip in. However, the LoadMovie call seems to block out the movie clip which needs to fade in; when I click the button, it loads the SWF just fine, the movieclip just doesn't fade in (or it does, but I can't see it), when I comment the LoadMovie call out, the movieclip fades in just fine (and I can see it). Also, I load the SWFs into an empty movieclip, which is beneath all other layers, so that's not the problem.
In my button: Code: on(release){ _root.home.fade(0,100,10); _root.content.loadMovie("home.swf"); }
I've tried: Code: on(release){ _root.content.loadMovie("home.swf"); _root.content.swapDepths(1000); _root.home.fade(0,100,10); } But, that doesn't get me anywhere, either.
im using this method [URL] transitions.htm to load movies and create transitions between them for my site.. I have read the technique thoroughly and im fairly sure the code and structure I have used is correct however the loadMovie function called from an embedded swf is not doing anything and I cant work out why.. on the main timeline there is a container movie that the swf files are loaded into, the intro sequence is loaded through an action on frame 1:
this works no worries.. but when the container is targeted from inside the introsection.swf movie nothing happens, this is the code used: _root.container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf") I have tried variations with this and nothing works.. the container movie has the correct instance name and the code works from the main timeline but not from within another swf.
I'm having a problem with embedding a Flash movie that loads an array of SWFs- specifically, ones that exist in the same movie as the .fla loader file. When I move the external SWFs and .swf load_movie file into a separate directory from the HTML file, they do not load properly. I get just a white window. [URL]. When I keep the SWF movie clips and load_movie.swf in the same (root) folder as the .html file, then everything loads properly, though. But this would extremely clutter up my directory!
The code is as follows: MovieClip on Stage onClipEvent(data){ //test to make sure it's completely loaded, when swf's load this way onData is called with each 'chunk' of data if(bytesLoaded()==bytesTotal()){ this.onEnterFrame=function(){ if(_currentframe==_totalframes){ _root.loadNextMovie() [Code] .....
I 'm not sure if there is a way in loadMovie to specify another folder, or the best way to solve this problem. I'm relatively new to Actionscript.
I'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
I am building a portfolio website in which I have a main page and there are links (movieclips) on this main page. When these movieclips are clicked, I use "loadMovie" to load the respective subpages in .swf. I have an "onLoad" function in the subpages but the script within the "onLoad" function never got processed. (The "onLoad" function is used to resize images depending on browser size) However, I have other "onMouseMove", "onResize" functions, and they work fine. In fact, the "onResize" function has basically the same code within as the "onLoad" function, and they got processed just fine.
When I use the code in red once my cursor has replaced the mouse i can no longer click on my boxes. When i do not use the hide mouse code i can click the boxes just fine. What am I doing wrong? [code]
I 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")); }
My code is attached - I'm trying to replace the loaded pngfile with the next one to load everytime the swf loops. 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've got music player and one of the controls is a movieclip which acts as a PLAY and PAUSE button. What I would like is to swap the image of this movieclip everytime it's clicked. How would I go about doing this? Here's my code...
Simple Question: Is it enough to add the Child to be replaced to another DisplayObjectContainer or must it be manually removed from the former one before?
I am trying to use sIFR to replace the headlines (e.g. The Tour of A Lifetime) on this page: [URL] The font I want to swap in is Verlag by hoefler & frere jones. 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?
When I use the code in red once my cursor has replaced the mouse i can no longer click on my boxes. When i do not use the hide mouse code i can click the boxes just fine. What am I doing wrong?
In AS2 I sometimes like to be able to just wipe everything off in one clean swoop and replace it with a new SWF.Which is of course uber simple, simply "_root.loadMovie("new_world.swf");"
I'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.
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'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'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:
<root> <page> <text>[code]....
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:
I have absolutely no knowledge in Regex whatsoever. Basically what I'm trying to do is have an error class that I can use to call errors (obviously) which looks like this:
package avian.framework.errors { public class AvError extends Object {
[Code].....
The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.
I've done a bit of research and I think I've worked out that I need to search using this pattern:
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.
Iv created a class file which watches for users typing in a web address in a textField. If the user types an add, i want to change it to a web address.
Once i register the address had been typed i take a note of the start and finish position of the text within the text area and use:
ActionScript Code: textArea.replaceText(st,en,hypLink); were: st = starting position of text to be replaced (ie. www.google.co.uk)
[Code]....
i can refresh the text and the link apears. The only problem with doing this is, it you lose any other htmlText within the text area.
