I having an issue getting the path of an image loaded into my scroll bar. I am using XML.When I click on an image all I get is the instance name. Like instance31 or instance 32 and so on. I can't seem to find away to get the actual image name or trace the path in my click event. Maybe my approach isn't the best or correct. Can someone explain how I can get the information I want
View 11 Repliesi am getting all the images path from XML and adding those thumbnails on my stage using XMl and for loop,
Now i want to perform tweening effects on all of them but if you see my code - it only does effect on the last object instead of doing on all added objects,
How do i make this work, so all thumbnails gets my tweening effect and i can start that effect and stop ,

View 1 RepliesI have a quick question about using an XML file to contain the path to something I want to load in Flash. Right now, I have:
this.loadMovie("Images/1.jpg");
I'd like for the word "Images/" to be read from the XML file and I was wondering how I would go about loading the variable that contains "Images/" into the path line in Flash.
how to load images from file path rather than URL
[URL]
which after a lot of looking ticked all my boxes for a gallery tutorial, the only problem is that is not finding my images when I change the url location in the tut xml to the root location of my images.
eg " <pic>
<image>http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/pg/stata.jpg</image>" works fine,
" <image>file://cropped files/made/bronze-dress.jpg</image>" doesn't : (

View 3 RepliesI have a flash movie (let's call it B.swf) that loads an XML file which is located in the same directory to provide some data. This flash movie works fine itself. Now, I've made another flash movie, a main movie (let's call it A.swf), which loads different SWF's in turn, including the aforementioned one B.swf (which now would be located along with the XML file in a subdirectory).
To my surprise, I've checked that now I get an error, as the path I specified for the XML file in B.swf is not valid anymore when B.swf is loaded from A.swf. The relative path from which it's searching for the file is the directory where A.swf is located, not the one where B.swf is located, as happened when this movie was executed standalone.
Is there any way to fix this so that I don't have to change the path I specified in the code and I can use B.swf either way externally loaded or standalone?
Code:
/
|-main.swf
|-game
|-game.swf
|-assets
|-a.jpg
let's say I have a file structure like above, I have game.swf loads resource by relative path like "assets/a.jpg". It runs fine on its own. But when I try to load game.swf from main.swf (using relative path again "game/game.swf") it tries to find a.jpg from "/assets/a.jpg" instead of "/game/assets/a.jpg"
I'm building a site that loads in various swfs for each section, which in turn load in videos, sounds, xml etc. Lets call these 'third level stuff'. Does anyone know how I can load the third level stuff into their swfs without having to put full paths in from the Main swf file? I hope that makes sense?! for example. A loaded swf pulls in a video from its own directory, so would look something like:
ActionScript Code:
request = 'videos/video1.flv'
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("loader.swf", "flash-banner", "920", "320", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
After loading loader.swf I'm getting this error Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
This is folder structure.
loader.swf
main.swf
main.xml
images
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
I have a main.swf which loads a module.swf and the module.swf loads some assets.The module.swf works standalone and also needs to work when loaded by main.swf.But unfortunately the module.swf can't find the assets when loaded by main.swf because the assets aren't located relative to the main.swf, but are located relative to the module.swf.As I can't touch the module.swf and I'm also unwilling to change the directory structure, I am looking for a solution close to the a "base" parameter which can be used when a swf is embedded into html
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to access the dynamic textfield of a swf loaded into an empty movie clip created in the main timeline.I understand how to manipulate a dynamic textfield in the main timeline, but trying to access the dynamic textfield of an external swf loaded into an empty movie clip results in failure. I guess I'm mainly having problems understanding the path structure involved.
createEmptyMovieClip('menu0',1);
menu0.loadMovie('menubg.swf');
menu0.kitten.text="hello"; //where kitten is the instance name of the dynamic textfield in the external swf

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below

One movie, named Gallery_1, with hotpots via which external swfs are loaded into a container mc of the main timeline of the Gallery_1 movie,
Via another button function the Gallery_1.swf is loaded into a container mc on the timeline of the main swf, which works alright as well, but when one then clicks the hotspots of the Gallery_1.swf one gets following error message:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable GallerySite not defined.
at HotSpot1/PictureLoad()
at HotSpot1/PictureCall()

The traces in the eventHandler function work alright.I wildly imported all relevant classes I could think of, e.g. the GallerySite class to the WebSite class and vice versa, and tried various variable definitions, but am at a loss by now as to where to define the GallerySite variable.
I have about 200 imported pngs in my Library that I would like to Update Library Items on to reflect some changes made in photoshop.The problem is that the images were imported from various network and local drives that no longer exist, so when I click Update, nothing happens.

View 2 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.I want to make a photo.jpg that is in my images folder load into a swf that is in a swf folder. It works fine when I have the photo.jpg in the same folder as the swf. But it does not work when I have the photo.jpg in a different folder. What must I do to the AS2 to make this happen? Here is the path: mcLoader.loadClip("swf/images/photo1.jpg",mcHolder);
View 11 Repliesthe same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

I've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
