I Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?
I have an all flash site that i'm making to learn flash MX 2004. I'm loading external swf's into a main page to make it all flow and easy for the browser to chew. i got a page that uses tellTarget to start rollovers and advance a movie. here's the script for one of the buttons...
Code:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/swift"){
gotoAndplay (2);[code]....
that works perfectly but when i load it into the main movie... it won't work...how to _root.,_parent, or this. is to make it work.
I want to load a set of 6 images using xml into 6 mcs on the main stage: The xml is easy enough. What I've got is:

<image src="imagetwo.jpg" />[code].....
how to import them in to the mc's on the main stage: they are named mc1, mc2 to mc6.Also, because the images will vary in width and height, I need to align them to the center horizontally, and aligned at the bottom of the holding mc.
I added a movieclip and named "bot_mc" in another movieclip. Then, In Action panel, I use bot_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOWN, xxxx). However, when I drag and drop the container movieclip on the main stage and compile. There is no error occurs but the MouseEvent doesn't work.

I have the ActionScript working fine on the main stage. Once I convert all layers into mc_clip, then put the mc_clip into the main stage, my html txt file no longer appear on the scroll area. Below is the ActionScript on the first frame in mc_clip. Also, the button 1 and button2 ActionScript to display the html.Questions:How to call the html to display on the main stage?
This is the ActionScript in mc_clip:

Im trying to load a movie using a button. I just want the button, when hit, to load an external .swf file inside the movie clip playing.
In AS1, (I never did learn AS2) this is what the button command said
on (release) {
loadMovieNum(�About.swf�, 0);
}
So how would this translate into AS3?
I am trying to get an instance of a class to the load an external swf and show it.So far I have the following:
1) I wrote a class that uses the Loader class to load an external swf "loadExtSWF".
2) I have a fla named "MainSWF.fla" that uses a document class "MainSWF.as".
3) I have the MainSWF.as file that instances "loadExtSWF" and calls loadExtSWF.startLoad to load the swf.
This almost works. The instance of loadExtSWF loads the external swf, but the swf is not displayed.If I replace the fla's document class with loadExtSWF (this has an empty constructor) instead of MainSWF, and run loadExtSWF.startLoad, then the external swf is loaded and displayed.[code]
I have created a website which loads external swfs as pages onto the main stage on the click of a button. I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3.0. Here is my code:

I have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.

I am trying to get a handle on the setTimeout command and I can't seem to get it to function at all. As a test I set up a simple movie where two objects fade in, one after the other. But whatever I try, they both fade in together.
Code:
_global.setTimeout()
stop();
onLoad = function(){
box1_mc._alpha = 0;
box2_mc._alpha = 0;

I cannot get the clearInterval command to work. I have a panel that is tweening down into the stage about 4 seconds after the movie loads and then I do not want it to happen again. Right now the panel continues to tween in everytime I close it. Right now, the clearInterval is not working.
var down:Boolean;
var currentInterval:Number;
down=false;

Before this application runs, I have to do some basic intialising - load up some stuff, build the display list, check I've got the right xml, wire a few objects together. I'm used to doing all of this stuff in the constructor of Main() - my main application class, but it gets a little unwieldy. Would there be any mileage in offloading this into a command class? Is that common practice? I was thinking that way all that Main() would have to do is just listen for events and manipulate methods of the other main classes. The only thing that concerns me is that Main needs references to the main classes and to add event listeners etc. This could be tricky if it's all set up in a command...
View 1 RepliesI checked out a lot of sites but can't figure out how to do this. without the mask my animation of a button growing bigger works well, the stop command is respected. But i want an image inside the form of the button that grows larger, so i took a picture on a layer below it, and made the button into a mask. visually, it works fine, but it loops, since the layer in mask mode doesn't respect the stop ();
View 1 RepliesI have several buttons in my Flash file that direct to an external URL with the openUrl command. That always works. However, in some cases I used _self to open the new URL in the same tab, and in other I used _blank to open it in a new tab, but that doesn't work consistently. Sometimes the one labeled _blank opens the URL in the same tab, and vice versa. Is there another way to define whether I want the new URL to open in a new tab or not?
View 2 RepliesI am using CS3 actionscript 2. I am having trouble with the preloader. It works, but it is causing the stop commands throughout the rest of the movie to not work. I know it is the preloader because when I remove it, it works. It is just a basic preloader. index12.fla has it with the preloader and index13.fla doesn't.[URL]...
View 3 RepliesI have a photographer's portfolio site in the works. I'm using loadMovie connected to thumbail buttons of each photo to show a larger version of the photo. Here is the script[code]...
Now the photographer would also like to have a next/previous arrow buttons so the user can click through like a slide show. Is there a way to have Flash know what movie is currently loaded and based on that information go to the next or previous?
How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?
Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.
popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
[code]....
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).
hiya all, i was wondering if there was a command to clear everything off the stage.

View 2 RepliesI've inserted a flv video ( from Import to stage) on the 1st fotogram( my homepage), and then I've extended it for 24 fotograms( because I set at the beginning 1 second = 25fps).If I play the video (with the play button of the "flash prebuilt player") without stop it and I'll surf toward another page the sound still playing, how can I fix? I mean I'm in the homepage, I start the video with the play button on the "flash prebuilt player" and if I don't stop the video and I surf towards another page the video disappear but the audio is still playing on the background. Which command ? I've try with stopAllSound(); on the fotogram 25 but it doesn't work and the audio is still playing.

View 1 Replieshow to put Movie Clips on my stage using the attachMovie command, but they always appear in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get them to appear in a predetermined area of the stage, without having to edit the Movie Clip itself?
View 1 RepliesI don't really know that much about Commands in Flash, but I was thinking this could be a possible Command to create.See, I have this puppet made up of dozens of separate pieces, all on their own layers.It's very tedious to click on 10 different symbols in order to move the character's arm, for example.I was wondering if there was a way to create a JSFL command to select each of the 10 symbols on the stage.
I tried clicking each one, and saving the "Change Selection" actions from the History Panel as a Command, but that is location-based.As soon as I move those symbols to a new location, the command I saved no longer selects them.And I can't select the objects by layer or frame, because it doesn't seem to want to save those either.
I have a button that I want to load a URL (however the URL is a command that sends data to an IP device). In other words, I dont want it to open in a new window and I dont want it to open in the existing window. I just want it to execute the URL link and thats it.
View 4 RepliesI'm sure you've guys heard of this before, but I have a question about loading movies into movie clips with a playout animation sequence so the transition is better.What I mean is this:I load movie clip 1 into instance Container and I click on another button to load another movie into that instance. How do you play an out animation on the previous movie that's already loaded before the new one loads in? Without the out animation, it just replaces the currently loaded movie instantly without a natural transition
