May 30, 2009can load an external jpg into a movie clip which is in the library?The reason I am asking is because I have a transition between loading images and the transition has several instances of one movie clip being used for different tweens.
The problem is that when the image loads, all instances have to be in frame 1 otherwise the jpg won't load into them and because I am using tweens the instances are on all different frame numbers.
I want to be able to load the jpg into this movie clip but in the library so it updates all of the instances of this movie clip on the stage and further down the timeline.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Add External SWC File To Library?
Jun 16, 2009I'm trying to add the Flint Particle system to my Flash CS4. I downloaded the swc file. Currently this file is residing on my desktop for testing purposes. I am on a Mac, if that makes any difference, but I went to file -> Publish settings -> Flash... then under the AS3 settings I added the path to the swc via the swc importer under the external library path.

ActionScript 2.0 :: External SWF With Asset Library Possible?
Oct 25, 2009So I've seen many a tutorial on how to do this in AS3 but I'm trying to work out if there is a way to have all my assets for a game I'm making external, so they can be shared with a level editor that resides in a different .swf and won't be loaded twice.I spent a while looking and found out about Shared Libraries, which at first I thought would solve the problem, until you find out that you can't use attachMovie to attach anything to the stage at run-time if it is an imported object, which just sucks to be frank .So I then thought of a work-around for that by adding these shared objects inside a MovieClip that wasn't shared so I could add that from the stage and access the clip inside using the instance name that I would assign it. This worked fine until I remembered that I had was using several Bitmaps and the BitmapData class, hence if I placed these bitmaps in a MovieClip I can't even assign an instance name to access them to perform the code that I wish to on them.

View 1 RepliesIDE :: CS4 External Library Path For Components?
Jun 3, 2010I want to:
1) Place symbols on the stage manually in loaded.fla
2) Exclude these symbols from the swf because they will already be in loading.swf
So I:
1) Created a component.fla
2) Created a "comp" symbol in the fla
3) Turned that symbol into a component via Component Definition
4) Exported the comp.swz into Configuration/Components/MyComps
5) Opened up loaded.fla
6) Pulled the comp component onto the stage
7) Went to file AS settings and added Configuration/Components/MyComps to the External Library Paths
8) Compiled loaded.swf and played it
BUT the swf includes the comp component on the stage...which is NOT what I wanted. I only want the swf to work and have a reference to comp when it it loaded into loading.swf.Why haven't the classes in comp been excluded?Obviously this is a workaround for runtime shared libraries, which is unpredictable, time-wasting and generally painful. Is there a better way to retain WYSIWYG and share symbols? I don't want to do dynamic placing.
IDE :: How To Make A Global / External Library
Jun 25, 2011I'm making this thread because I have searched in google for how to make a "global library". I'm sure this is not what it's called but i couldnt think of another way to search. If I start a new project and I want to bring in objects from other projects should I be going to "open external library"? I imagine that an external library is global. While i'm waiting for replies i'll look up how to make an external library.

Dec 13, 2010I have a swf called "myfile.swf" with a mp3 set to export for actionscript, and the Class has been called "soundName"With the following code, the sound plays great...
Actionscript Code:
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myfile.swf");var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);swfLoader.load(bgURL);function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void { var tmpSound:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("soundName") as Class; var snd:Sound = new tmpSound() as Sound; snd.play();}
This lets the sound play great. But, because of what I'm trying to do, i would like it better to put the swf into a movieclip, then play the sound from there.
But i cannot seem to get it to work. The following code adds the movieclip to the stage fine, but then i have no way of accessing the library assets (i.e the "soundName" mp3) from the swf inside of the movieclip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Library Objects From External Class?
Jan 18, 2011I'm currently working on a game. I'm breaking down each piece of the game into individual classes and movieclips. The intro begins by going to the main menu which is a MC in my fla library. This is called through the document class. then all actions the main menu MC performs are commanded through the MainMenu class. When starting the actual game, MainMenu calls a function from the document class, after it is removed from the stage, that puts an empty movieclip called Level on the stage.
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Adding MC From Library To Stage From External Class
Oct 14, 2009I'm trying to create an application with an extensive user interface. I've come pretty far and decided I wanted to really take advantage of the object oriented features that AS3 has to offer.
I've started off by created a few classes: User, Background and Main. Main is the document class of course. In the document class I have a function "resetStage" that clears the display list of all children. This is because I have many layers of images making up the UI and they all show up at startup unless I remove them. Besides I want to see where the stuff is positioned in the Authoring tool so I don't want to just create movieclips and then delete them.
My issue is with my Background class. Basically what I want to do is create a new DisplayObjectConatiner called bgContainer or something and then put all the background stuff in it. (The main background image and a status bar image). Then add the bgContainer and its children to the stage. This should all happen when the object is constructed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Library Items From External SubClass?
May 4, 2010I've been working with/around and dodging a situation where I'm trying to access FLA library movieclip assets, but NOT from the document class. I capitalize this because this is my 4th forum posting. I know the answer to that one:
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
The easiest solution for accessing library items from a SubClass looks to be this:
// at topimport TestLocalMC;// in constructorvar box:TestLocalMC = new TestLocalMC();addChild(box);
However, it doesn't show up. I tried a fake non-existent class. It gave me an error so I know it's referencing a Class in the library that I supplied. If I trace the object, it shows up. If I trace the X value, it says 0. So logically, it should be right in front of me..but it's not there! .Am I on the right track? Is this familiar at all to anybody? Is there something I'm missing?
if I could reference FLA library items with a bit of freedom from the document class. Having to go up the hierarchical class tree everytime to retrieve a movieclip is getting rather painful.
Actionscript 3 :: Accessing External Library Symbols Dynamically?
Aug 14, 2010I am loading an external SWF containing uninstantiated MovieClip Symbols. I can get the SWF loaded, no problem. If I call:loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition( "TestClip" ) as ClassI get the class of a Library symbol called "TestClip", which I can then instantiate. Jawesome.The issue I'm having is that basically I want to have access to all of the Library symbols without needing to explicitly know their names. I was hoping to use:
describeType( loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain );
...to get reflective access to the Library symbols, but the XML returned doesn't seem to include any references to them. Perhaps I'm calling it on the wrong object? I also don't want to have to explicitly create coded instances to gain access. This is for a tool for Flash artists, and it's important to avoid code, even simple code.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Use A Font Symbol From An External Shared Library?
Dec 29, 2004I am trying to use a font symbol from an external shared library.
When I place the script below in my frame, trying to format a textfield on the stage, the textfield dissapears. Only when I place another element (from the same shared library) in the stage, the textfield responds to the script. Although, when I tried to create a static text using the same font symbol, the dynamic textfield dissapeared, while the static text got the font symbol without any trouble.
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color - 0x999999;
myFormat.font = "Harmony";//Harmony is the Identifier of the symbol

ActionScript 3.0 :: Refer To A Class Linkage Set In Library From External Code?
Jan 12, 2011If one uses [Embed] to refer to external graphic assets its easy to instantiate and use them.However, I've got a png in an Fla, with the Class identifier set to "Symbols", Base class is BitmapData.I need to instantiate it like this:
var symbols:BitmapData = new Symbols(1, 1);
addChild(new Bitmap(symbols));
Of course the compiler complains about a call to a possibly undefined method Symbols.For a temporary fix I guess i'll put the graphic external to the swf, but for this project it needs to be in the library along with everything else.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Load External Image To Fla Library As MovieClip Symbol Using It?
Mar 10, 2011I have been working on code updation project wherein initially we had an image and text as movieclips in fla library. The image and the text are read by the actionscript program which then creates an animation.[code]...
I want to ease the updation process by giving the url of the image in an XML file. Read the image url from the xml and load this image in the library of the fla as movieclip. This, i think, will result in less code change and improve the updation of the final animation image.
The problem i am facing is not been able to figure out how can i change the image (after fetching its URL) to a movieclip and then load it in the library?
