is it possible to create new frames through AS? I'm trying to create a new movieclip and then create 4 frames and then on each frame externally load an image.
View 1 RepliesWhat would you use to create buttons which when pressed load an image in an image area within the same flash document?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a movie clip which contains the background image and has thumbnails which change the image once you click on it.
Whats the best way to code this?
I'm having trouble with the depth.
addChildAt(imageName, o)
that works for the first image but how do i unload the image before going to next frame to load the new image when the corresponding thumbnail is selected?
I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

i'm trying to attach/create a new empty movieclip to load an image into each time my function fires (function has setInterval on it).so far, my code works in that the first time it creates the empty clip and loads the pic in it, measures the loaded bytes and alpha fades in when it's loaded.when the function repeats however, the newly created clip is either not there or i am not referencing it correctly, or there's some problem with the way i'm trying to do this.I don't want to delete the previously attached clip since i'm alpha fading the new one to 100 on top of it.kind of a simple crossfade that way.here's my code:
Code:
startSlides=function(){
this._parent.largePic.createEmptyMovieClip("clipp"+i, 5);
this._parent.largePic["clipp"+i]._alpha=0;[code].....
What I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.
View 11 Repliesset the frame rate of an externally loaded movie to a different frame rate than the movie it is embedded within.
I basically have a flash site that loads flash movies using loadMovie command, however, the frame is lost within these movies and simply adopts the main site frame rate.
I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?

View 1 RepliesFor some reason my slideshow gallery will not work with specific swf files. I can't find any correlation between the ones that work and the ones that don't work - stage size, length, as3 version, actions, ect don't seem to matter.
I'm tempted to chalk to up to a bug in CS4 and try to install CS3, but I was wondering if anyone has ran into this before.
Is possible somohow use externaly loaded image in more than in one mc? I thik without loadMovie action again.
View 8 RepliesI have this custom video player I'm making. I need some way to react when the externally played flv file reaches a certain point in the movie without embedding some extra data on the flv file. I am looking for this because I want to react at the 90%-99% point of the movie because I didn't like the behavior I'm getting when I react when the stream completes playing (I want a bit earlier). How do I achieve this?
I'm surprised Adobe didn't document what is the object structure passed on things like onMetaData and onCuePoint...

I have this code to load a jpg and textfiles externally:
[AS]stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("NFMC", 1);
NFMC._x = 320;
NFMC._y = 220;
[Code].....
Of course I have been thinking about passing data to functions, but I can't make it work.
It is not necessary that NF1.jpg and the txts are mentioned in this code like they are now, it also could be something like a,b,c and d. So actually it is not about changing, but about being able to load different jpg's and MC's in this swf, so that I wouldnt have to use one hundred swf's!
I'm new to AS3 and I'm having a problem moving an externally loaded image within a Class.

View 2 RepliesFor example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to externally load a swf at a certain time on the timeline. Right now I am loading it by using an on(release) with buttons, but I need the first to load as the timeline reaches the certain number. I'm using this code for the buttons.

I'm not sure if I should use a Load action or what?

View 5 RepliesTrying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object
[code]....
So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.
I'm not new to flash as2 but as3 is a whole other animal to me. What I have is on button click my script will load a swf movie into a movie clip (videoLoader_mc). What I'm trying to do but can't seem to get is when the parent swf gets to a certain point in the time line I need it to unload what ever movie is in that videoLoader_mc. I've gone through ever tutorial I can find to no avail. [code]...
View 0 RepliesSo is there officially no way to load mp3s externally without the pause between loops? I need to know if I can rest at night or not. If it is absolutely without a doubt impossible, I will look at alternatives.
By the way, this would be for background game music. I need a seamless loop and we are using mp3s.
