ActionScript 3.0 :: Get A Preload Movie Clip To Show Up When An Image Is Being Pulled?
May 11, 2010
I'm trying to get a preload movie clip (progress_clip) to show up when an image is being pulled from the xml data bank and then shut the visiblity to false when the image is done loading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong any bump in the right direction would be very cool.
Error message:

basically i would like to dynamically display and preload an image onto my main movie clip. this image would be the first item in my xml file. on my main timeline i would like to have a few buttons that a user could click to change the default image on the page.
when they select a new image, i would like to have the preloader appear above the default image and then tween between the old and new image (one fading out and one in kinda thing).i sourced some code but i've been having problems preloading the first image. the image loads but the preloader doesn't do anything. it seems like the preloader doesn't seem to recognise that i'm trying to load an image. it thinks it's fully loaded and carries on before the load can begin!i would also like attach a different preloader for the first image displayed than the ones being loaded via the buttons.

I'm trying to preload an image into a clip and then have it run an animation with the image after it's preloaded. This is the code that I'm using within the clip containing the image (FLA attached):
frame 1:
this.loadMovie("image1.jpg",1);
frame3:
if ( this.getBytesLoaded == this.getBytesTotal && this.getBytesTotal > 0 ) {
// If the movie has fully loaded then go to and play the image animation in the
[Code].....
Note: If the image preloaded correctly, it should fade out once it's loaded.

I am trying to preload images for an image gallery ina flash movie.
i have the images externally loaded so as not to bloat the swf but how do i start a preload for all the images when someone gets to the home/front page, so that by the time they get to the image gallery everything is loaded in memory so there's no delay?

i wanna do a flash that reads an xml, in which the xml tells my flash to show or hide movie clips (they have instance names).
Code:
//added in the frame
var elights = _root.mc_elights ;
var logo = _root.mc_logo ;
var croom = _root.mc_croom ;
[code]....
i however, want to do this via xml, so that i could have my programmer colleague create a php to call for this database.

I have the elements on the stage already and have created the script for the second part of the animation which is all inside nswMC.The action I am trying to evoke is a mouse click to show points of interest. then a rollover mechanism to show details. then a mouse click to hide nswMC

what i want to happen: when you click on gallery -> then bfa, it shows a list of names (movie clips). when you rollover a name, it plays a yellow fade in and a fade out on rollout. when you click a name, it opens an external movie clip that takes up the fullscreen. i want the movie clip that was just clicked to stay activated (yellow - to show that you already viewed this one) but still be clickable.
[Code]....
the this.enabled = false; keeps the name yellow but once you click it, you can no longer click this link. i think i'm really close and i hope I explained this as clear as possible. i just need to know what script would keep the movie clip stuck on the out.

I've made a 30 second *.avi file and converted it to SWF
And then I remembered I need to put link inside the Flash so I decompiled it and put this in *.fla file;
Code:
onMouseDown = function(){
my_url = "http://www.link.link";
getURL("http://www.link.link","_blank");
};
But that doesn't make mouse pointer change to hand when it's over the banner.

How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when people go to a new section of my website.

I'd like to show a movie clip when you hover over a button and then have the movie clip disappear when you move off the button. I am using a button because the button has different visual states and thought it would be easier than coding a mc to function like a button.

Making a photo slide show to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed . Here is a link to the .swf file:[URL]..Basic problem: There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear!
I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other.
When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.

Im trying to make a dynamic site banner that will load in swfs detailed in a XML file. I think the best way is to load them in separate MCs and then start the first one one it has preloaded then move to the next to preload and once the first swf has finished a piece of code tells the _root timeline to play the next... and so on.
I have got it so the container swf loads in the swfs but the preloader is not quite working and I have no idea how to get this sequential thing working especially with next/pev buttons. Currently it seems that the loader is not quite working with the first file and all files are loading in at once. I need the player to wait and load sequentially.
Following is my code and attached are the files. Please help and much appreciated.
Code:
stop();

I am trying to finish creating a mouse based slider and want to dynamically create movieclip boxes inside one master movieclip. This is so I can slide the master MC left and right. Also, I want to add an image to each box. I'm getting closer but need some serious expert guidance. Right now, I can't figure out how to attach the image to the boxes.
All of the dynamic stuff happens in a for loop, and when each image is loaded, it fires the Event Listener to a function to attach it. But being outside that foor loop, the new function can't reference the objects.[code]...

I'm trying to change an image, but I noticed that the image is in a symbol/movie clip type.. I also found out that the image itself (jpg/gif/png format) is not in the library. So what to do? How to change it? Also, when importing image files to the library, how do I import it automatically to a certain folder in the library?

I have three movie clips overlaying each other, each movie has a colour which changes depending upon the users colour selection.
When the user adds their item to the cart i need to store a picture of what they have produced, which they can view when they click on the cart item.

How? This is what I have now and it doesn't work:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("testimage", 1); \ New Movie Clip
loadMovie(test.image1name, "testimage"); \ test.image1name = "image-4.jpg", the url of an image
testimage._width = 350; \ Properties for the Movie Clip
[Code]....
I'm tired and this is tiring me.
EDIT: When I traced "testimage._width", it returned 0. But when I traced "testimage._x", it returned 50 as it should.

I'm trying to resize an image loaded in a movie clip, so that any image I load will always fit correctly in my movie.The script is pretty simple, it reads an xml file where they should be 6 records. Loads the image in the Thumb attribute in on of the 6 containers eg. _root.screen.Event1
Code:
for (i=0; i < 6; i++){
MyEvent = Event[i].attributes ;
_root.screen["Event"+i].Title.text = MyEvent.Title ;
[code]....
It works but not as expected. It looks like only the container is scaled down not the image really.

I'm trying to display an image in a movie clip where the location of the image is derived from an xml document. I'm creating a menu from XML nodes and when the user selects that menu item a separate movie clip is updated with the XML information which corresponds to the menu items nodevalue. In my xml i have an image location defined and I want this to happen... when the user selects the menu item the node value for the image location dynamically loads the image into the movie clip.
