I was getting in to transitioning from AS2 to AS3 a while back and had designed a page that had menu buttons that when clicked, loaded an external swf in to a container. Pretty simple accept for the fact that it was a while ago and my computer crashed so I'm having to redo this and learn it all over again. I have read in to flash on the subject but I am not to sure on the best way to go about this. I know there are a lot of people on here who make thing a lot more simple and structured than I do. I'm so used to putting the actionscript on the button and I'm a little stuck on the best way to combine the actionscript for the button and loading the swf. I would need to make a button load an external swf in to a container when clicked? I figure I just need one and then I can copy it to all the other menu buttons.
View 2 RepliesI 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 am loading swfs into a movie clip. However, the contact button is not a loaded swf any longer. It's in the main flash page. This is what I want to do. All the buttons load the external swfs except when I click on the contact button that is in the main flash page. I need to get the other buttons to load after I click the contact flash button. Below is the code for the contact button and the one under for one of the other buttons.

Alright, so may be I'm an idiot but after playing with this code for hours I'm unsuccessful in getting this to work.All I want to do is load external text into a text box when I click on a button. I'm trying to execute this in AS3. I know how to do this in AS2 but I need to start working in AS3. Here is the code I've been using and keep getting errors.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("testText.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadIt);

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I have an external swf that is loaded at frame 2 of the main timeline. The external swf has code that plays an flv, i've pasted the code below for the button that navigates the play head to the fram label 'frame2'. I want to know, how can i unload the external swf after each button click? Does the code for unloading have to go to in the button code or the main timeline?
anim_mc.stop();
anim_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);anim_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);anim_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
anim_mc.buttonMode = true;anim_mc.mouseChildren = false;

I have a SlideShowPro component on my stage and some buttons I've made which I want to load the different galleries when clicked. I've tried tons of different ways of writing it, but just can't seem to get the code right.

function albumChange(event.Event, url):void {
my_ssp.xmlFilePath=url;

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.
I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.
I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.
I'm using a test file so I can see how a full website is going to work. I've got 5 layers:Background, title, menu, main contents, Actions.I have an empty movieclip that I call "contents-main". And it is placed in the proper location.On Frame 1 of the Actions panel, I have loadMovie("760-250-main.swf", "contents-main"); This works fine and loads the movie into the empty clip.On the menu layer, I have a button. What I want to do is click on that button and havea different movie load into the movieclip called "contents-main". I have tried everything on the tutorials that I can find and nothing will work.I also tried putting different variations and also putting the unloadMovie before loadMovie statement.
View 2 Repliesevery 8 seconds it shows a different item When I click a button and load another movie, and return.the delay between the newsitems is not 8 sec anymore.
When I do the same, it's even faster.
clearInterval(newTickerId);
newTickerId = setInterval(myHome.newsTicker,3000);
if you open up the TEST.swf you can see how I want my transition to look like.. everything works perfectly.. then if you open the Load.swf and click one of those red buttons.. it loads up the external swf.. but if you click another button it loads up the same external thing.the difference between Load.swf and TEST.swf is that in Load.swf is container in which the TEST.swf is loaded..
View 4 RepliesI am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?
My container (emptyMC) will load 4 external movies and loop as default when someone comes to the site.
Right now the code for the empty mc (emptyMC) is:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();this.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMC",1);loader.loadClip("image1.jpg",emptyMC);

I need to click on a button that is on an external swf loaded in the main movie with a loader. I'm trying this but does not work:
// main movie
function openswf(queFoto:String)
{
imgLoader = new Loader();
[Code].....
First of all, right now I have 2 buttons, which are defined as buttons. Clicking on button1 loads swf1, clicking button2 unloads swf1 and loads swf2. Heres the basic code for that transition which is pasted ON the button...
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.loadMovie("F2.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "F2") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.play();
}}}
This works like a charm, no problems. The problem I am having is that I need the button (which will eventually be a part of an animated drop down menu) to have more functionality. When I try to make a movieclip button, no variation of this code above will work to load the swf. I am totally lost. Here is the latest incarnation of the movie clip button code. This version is in the timeline, but I've tried variations directly on the movie clip as well
mc_HeightTest.onPress = HeightMovie
function HeightMovie(){
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.loadMovie("F2.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "F2") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "F2";
container.play();
}}}
Why the code pasted on the button will not work when its used in conjunction with a movie clip button?
I've got 20 images and I used this script in each of the frame where it loads the image. Is there a simpler way to load images in to a MC with a button click event?) How do I add a removeChild command here? the images keepon overlapping.

I'm not to sure where to start maybe using tween transitions??
I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button.
