How to go about loading in a swf using xml for the path but loading it into a movieclip with a transition.
I have an animation set up for the transitions which needs to mask the loaded in swf.
do i load in the swf into the movieclip then load the transition into the movieclip?
how do use code to set the animation to mask the loaded in swf or do i set up the movieclip with the mask in it already?
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 have looked everywhere for a tutorial on this - i have tried writing, and re-writing codes....i just cant get it. is there any tutorial i overlooked? here is what im looking to do - NO SHORTCUTS: have my main file that loads the buttons, my external swf container, my intro animations, and my swf "out" and "in" animations when a button is clicked i want it to point me to specific frame labels. i will have an "out" and "in" frame label and which will be the locations of the transitional starting points i want it to play the "out" transition, than unload the current swf, than play the in transition, than load the swf of the button that was clicked i want the animations to all be done using frame labels all within the MAIN swf file.... i have had no luck doing this....and i do NOT like the tween class....
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to do a transition that applies to all the external .swf's that will be loaded into an area in the main movie, which basically "eats" the current external .swf and then opens to show the new chosen .swf. Therefore I have one problem: the Actionscript needed for both the buttons and for that transition clip, in the middle point. By middle point I refer to that point where it has just "ate" the existing .swf and will now start to display the chosen .swf
So I would need something like - on hitting a button, it telling the movie clip to be placed in an imaginary level or something like that, and then I'd place an action in that middle point of the transition movie clip, to display what's on the immaginary "level". Until there, the previous .swf is visible (though the transition is sort of "eating it", hehe) I know there are some threads with situations that are alike, but I haven't found the same type of situation..
I'm not having trouble doing the transition. However, I'm not doing it the way its described in the tutorial on the main site. I dont have a frame to tween to as an intro, or a frame to tween to as an "extro" when another SWF is loaded. I am having a SWF tell level0_ the dimensions of some MC right before a different MC is loaded, then level0_ tells the new loaded MC (inside the new SWF) to Tween from the dimensions it just recieved (old SWF) to the dimensions of the new loaded MC. It works great.. its completely dynamic.
The problem is that the MC flashes when the next SWF is loaded, which is obviously it resizing to the old SWF's dimensions, so it can Tween to the new dimensions. Theres got to be a way around this! I've seen dozens of sites tween perfectly, do they use the intro/extro method, or is their entire site in one SWF? or is this possible the way I want it?
heres a gander at the code:
old SWF Dimensions sent to _level0 before unloading:
Code:
_level0.tempWidth = _level5.contentBox_MC._width;
_level0.tempHeight = _level5.contentBox_MC._height;
_level0.tempX = _level5.contentBox_MC._x;

I am trying to use the code to make a top level navigation with subnav options.I have gone to the next level "_root.container.containerContent"For this subnav, I have got the SWF loading, but then it will not transition to the next SWF at the subnav level.I am not really sure which parts of the code need to changed, but I know that what I have changed allows the SWF to load, just not transition.This is a sample of the button code:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.container.currMovie == undefined) {

I'm hoping someone out there with a wee problem-ette I'm having with loading external swf's with a transition. I've worked through Voetsjoeba's tutorial and have found it works excellently. However, I'm putting together a site and using it to teach myself some more in-depth AS and I'm trying to get my head around which bits of script work with which. I've attached my main site SWF and one of the external SWFs that I'm loading in so you can see what I'm up to.
View 1 RepliesIn reference to the question below I used this tutorial to accomplish some of my AS goals: http:[url]....The question based off of this tutorial is how to correctly target an external movie clip with buttons that are not on the main time line. What would be the approproiate path for the script below for the external swf (work.swf)?
on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "work"; container.loadMovie("work.swf"); } else if (_root.currMovie != "work") { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = "work"; container.play(); } } }

What I want is fade in/out on the transition instead of slide in/out. Plus this tutorial was done using tweening animation and timeline. [code]....
right direction but theres still something I'm missing.At this point, I am able to load the initial swf into a container MC and store that info into acurMovie variable. When another button is pressed, curMovi checks if it equals event.target.name, if it doesn't equal "curMovie", it plays the existing movies outro What I thought I could do was create a conditional statement checking if the outro has reached the total frames, and if so, load the next swf. This isnï workingThis is what I have so far:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
//Load initial file

Im trying to update the Transitions between External SWFs tutorial for AS 3 (link below). [URL] I looked at a few tutorials that would help steer me in the right direction but there's still something I'm missing. At this point, I am able to load the initial swf into a container MC and store that info into a curMovie variable. When another button is pressed, curMovie checks if it equals event.target.name, if it doesn't equal "curMovie", it plays the existing movies outro.

First post. I was just going through Voetsjoeba's tutorial on making transitions between external swf's [URL]..
"If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore 'container' targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path."
I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on this. That is, how the path to the container movieclip would need to be changed in this situation. Apologies if the question is too vague.

how to do the transition between scenes? instead of external swfs?
I have 2 different swfs (movie1.swf and movie2.swf) in a HTML.... When the movie2.swf finish playing (at the end there is a stop() )...... I would like to push a button replay to the movie.swf and play the movie2.swf from the beginning.....
View 1 RepliesI have my main movie which loads an external swf. This swf loads different images (loadMovie("image.jpg", _root.photo.empty);How can i make each image load with an effect?
View 3 RepliesI am working with the transitions tutorial: [URL]... Here is a link to the modified example im working on. [URL]...If you are familiar with this tutorial you will see this is familiar. Main movie checks to see if the specific section is at "midframe" if its not it waits and does nothing, then once you have transitioned to midframe and stopped it, click on the next section will then transition out and load the next movie. I am tring to do a little variation of it.
ok we have mainmovie2004.swf which has 4 buttons. Each button, section1, section2, section3, and section4 all load specific movies to "container" on the main timeline. Section1 button loads section1.swf, Section2 button loads section2.swf...etc. Well I have placed another set of buttons in each section (just section1 and 2 for example sake). Each button loads a specific movie into container_small (yeah I know it doesnt follow camelCode but thats the least of my concerns). I have been messing around with the code and I am able to get Section1 to load, then when I click on the first pink button in section1 it loads section1.1 which is (section1_1.swf). When I click on the next button it just reloads the same section no matter what. The other sections work because when you load section1 and click on any pink button the corresponding swf loads just doesnt ever transition out. The tree would like like this: {mainmovie2004.swf[section1.swf(section1_1.swf)]}.
I think the problem is the last frame of each sub section has an action that will load the next section. I need to get the path correct.

i no, this topic looks like the one i found here, but it is not tottally explanatiory, before the question its nice beiing a part od the community. My question is, in my background i created a movieclip background and inside of that i put the images that i liked to transition one and than comes the other, but this is a lot of time just making the tweenings, it makes no sence having this work, could someone give me a code out there that i could make this background movieclip getting the images from a folder imgbackground from xml? How to create a xml file to the code get this images?
View 1 RepliesI am am loading external SWF files into main file from XML created menu.I want to make TRANSITIONS between loaded files, but this Kiripa tutorial does not work for me since I can not give each button sepparate code. All buttons come from xml.
At the moment If I do all by tutorial all menu buttons start to load same link which and transition works, but yeah I need menu to understand that it must load new swf not that same.I know it is possible, but I do not know how it is made, so if anyone could help me I would be very happy!
Now comes code that needs to be modified :
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = _root.link[this.i].attributes.url;
_root.Konteiner.loadMovie(link[this.i].attributes.url, "_blank");
} else if (_root.currMovie != link[this.i].attributes.url, "_blank" ) {

I have a site in progress, but am running into a problem with the transition that plays while external images/swfs are loaded.

All works fine untill I do something to the loaded swf.For example if I click a button on the loaded swf the button works but then when I click the button on the main movie to load the next and play the transition the transistion doesnt work.If I dont do anything to the loaded swf the transitions work.Is it something to do with the paths being changed when the loaded swf is acivated?
View 2 Repliesi have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]
