I'm trying to load a .swf in a mc called container, the movie loads but not correct.When it's playing, you are only hearing a sound but you don't see the movie. On my harddisk it's working fine but on the Internet it isn't working.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
[Code]....
So the question is - can I use loadMovie(); to load movie clip in a container from library not external swf? If I can, how should I do it, but if not - how can I still load it then?

View 7 RepliesI want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to load an image for displaying in a container which have been loaded from the Library and placed on the stage.Loading the image for which to use is no problem but algning it to the center of the stage is a problem.Now, keeping in mind that loaded images usually are placed at the top-left corner of the stage I tried to solve the problem like this...:
a = stage.stageWidth/2 (finding the center of the stage)
b = image.width/2
c = a-b (giving us the result of which to place the image)
image.x = c;
The formulas above make sence... in theory. In real life (at least on my computer) it doesn't work.Now, there might be some factors to consider when doing simple math like this...: - Can it be that the container is not the same size as the image loaded? - Can it be that I have to keep the x and y of the container (although I have aligned it so it's placed at the center of the stage)?

I am trying to load different image galleries into a container flash file. Each image gallery will be in a speparate swf that can be loaded/unloaded from the main swf. I get the first gallery to load and function fine, using the following code:

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

View 4 RepliesI have a very simple flash movie.
24 png images in the Library The image properties are set to 'Export for Actionscript' and the class named 'image1', 'image2' etc Single frame in the timeline
I need to dynamically load 'image1' on the stage at the start of the movie. I have been able to do this using BitmapData ojects.
On clicking the image, I need to increment an internal image and replace the image on screen with image2.
When I try to pass the library class as a variable it throws an error.
I need to load (dynamically) an image stored in the library of Adobe Flash to the loader component. So far, i have imported this image to the library and exported it to ActionScript under the linkage section. I have named its identifier as well.

I've created a button on the stage and when I clicked onto the button, it will load an internet image in a movieclip from the library, "movie_mc". So here is my code:

View 3 RepliesI have one swf called main.swf which has a container movieclip that gets external swf's loaded into it.
my external swf is called hosting and it calls an array of data that is loaded into a movieclip that is duplicate for each element from the database. The elements from the database are as follows:
Business
Economy
Power
Standard
Each one of these has a button over it that when press loads information from the database into a movieclip that contains a textbox. My button code is: _root.movieclip.loadVariables("url to database");
This works flawlessly when I run the hosting.swf by itself, but when it is loaded into the contianer in the main.swf the buttons dont work. I believe that it is the _root in the button call that is causing this but I dont know how to fix it. I think the _root variable changes when hosting is loaded into the main.swf.
I 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?
I have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

View 1 RepliesCode:
function myFunction(myMC) {
myMC.attachMovie(myMC, myMC, getNextHighestDepth());
}
myFunction(test); I want this to attach a MC from my library called "test" to a movieclip holder called "test" on the canvas and have it named test. In the end, the instance path would be _root.test.test.
The problem is myMC (the one right after the first parenthesis) is not populating correctly because it is not being read by Flash properly. The typeof myMC is movieclip. I can String(myMC), but still no hope. How do I get this done?
I have a menu.swf dynamically loaded into a site, and when the user clicks a link i want to load a mc into the main.swf. So i have to do loadClip("menu.swf", theotherswfsmc)...

I have a button in a movie called banner.swf When I click on this button I want a movie called homesub.swf to load but I want to load it through a movie called sub.swf Is this possible?
View 6 RepliesI have a movie that calls other movie clips with a preload and fade for each external mc called. but after you call and load the swf in the container it disappears aftre about 30 seconds it disappears if you dont do anything and then it comes back after about 30 seconds. I am using this script for the preload object and fade.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(dummy ==1){
_root.text._alpha += 10;
} loaded = _root.clip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.clip.getBytesTotal();
[Code] .....
Then this is on every frame to make it use the preload and fade in the new loaded swf after it shows it loading.
clip.loadMovie("GuardHouse.swf");
clip._alpha = 0;
now = 0;
text.dummy = 1;
//now load the external file into the myData object
myData.load("GuardHouse.txt");
stop();
Also I dont know if this has anything to do with this problem but when I load an external swf it does not show any actions i have in there or any text but does show images and shapes but not dynamic text boxes or fades or anything like that. You can view it at the url below. I have listed the link to the main movie swf and the map1.swf that it calls when you click on floor plan so you can see when you view the map1.swf by itself there is more stuff that does not show up when loaded into the main swf.
