i'd like to clean the holder every time a new thumbnail is clicked.
i am looking to have a number a small thumbnail pictures on a page, and with either a roll over of the mouse or a click i would like them to larger on the screen.
i am guessing i need to have a holder to load them in but i dont know the script i need to load a picture from the library this what i have so far but i just dont know the code to load images to a holder
function image_click (mye:MouseEvent):void{
}
image_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,image_click);
I'm trying to load variables from a text file and then preload an image into a content holder but it doesn't seem to work here is my code

I'm a complete newbie to AS3 but I've recently been thrown in at the deep end I'm trying to teach myself (I'm a designer mainly, for my sins!).
I'm putting together a UI which includes a demo frame whereby I want to load a speech bubble image if the user hovers the mouse over a particular button.
I've bought various reference books and browsed through the forums, but I can't find any examples of how to do this (seemingly) simple task. I've found some examples of drawing a rectangle and other methods, but nothing for loading/unloading images.[code]...
I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

Trying to load a simple swf movie into my mc holder.When I preview the page on my desktop the external files loads. On the FTP server it doesn't. Why? I tried 2 scripts for an "onClipeEvent" on the empty mc holder but nothing workes. [code]Then I got recommended to use this script on an empty keyframe. It works but again, only offline.targetMc.loadMovie("floorplans/301.swf");

I have a main swf that loads external swfs into a holderMC. How do I get a button called playnext_btn on each external swf to tell the main swf to load a new external swf into its holderMC? I used this code in the main swf to do the initial load of the first external swf into holderMC:
Code:
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
holderMC.addChild(swfLoader);
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("benefits.swf");

I am using an array to load images into a holder_mc on my flash site. Is there a way to change the registration point at which the image loads? Currently the image loads and is justified to the top left corner of the holder. I would like to change it to the top right corner.

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to dynamically load a SWF into a blank movieClip called "holder" and control it by instance name on MOUSE_DOWN. I'm sure this is easier than I'm making it but the SWF just has a bunch of frames and i want to use one script to scrub through the frames but i can't figure out how ot get the instance name (or whatever) of the movieClip.
// Load movieClip into "holder" movieClip
var loader = new Loader();
holder.addChild(loader);
loader.load(new URLRequest(btn_SWFname));

was trying all 3 commented options from above , and none of them does what i want the first 2 are removing only the last image from the movieclip and the last one removes the all movieclip and is not loading anything else after
I've got a SWF with two (for now) buttons on it that each load a SWF. Each of these will load fine if they are the first one pressed. Once one is pressed there are problems. If you try to go to the next one, the new SWF covers the one currently playing, but it will not load the FLV associated with it and the audio from the previous does not stop. You can see it all here: [URL]
And here is the code on the navigation:
var Xpos:Number = 130;
var Ypos:Number = 10;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.x = Xpos;

Teach me how to load and unload a swf into a main movie. And how to pass a varaiable from the main move to the loaded swf. This is a huge gap in my flash knowlege and i don't know where to begin.
View 1 RepliesI am studying AS3 by myself, please bear with me if my explanation is not that clear.It's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF [code]Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button.When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf".Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"My questions are:
1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.
2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.
3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?
4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.[code]
I've got a games menu and have the code to load games when a button is clicked.
So far say you want to play GameA...
The player clicks the button to Play GameA and that game is loaded. Once the player finishes the game they are shown a button to continue which unloads the game and loads the menu.
The problem is that I want a movieclip to be visible on the menu but only when GameA is completed. There is no way to back out of GameA and getting back to the menu without completing GameA. I don't know how in GameA to put that if the continue button is pressed make 'GameATick' visible. I've tried inside the code of GameA putting code like root.GameATick.visible and code like this but it doesn't recognise the MC.
I'm creating my portfolio in Flash CS3. I have five buttons in website.swf. I also have five external swf files.If you click a button, it loads an external swf. If you click another button, it unloads the first swf and loads the next one. Is there anyway to unload it and load the next?
stop();
function loadMain(e:MouseEvent):void{
var loadMain:Loader = new Loader();

I want to load and unload EXTERNAL SWF that contains FLV on mouse click. Loading and unloading the swf is NOT the issue. The problem is how do i get the external swf which contains an flv to stop playing and stacking up on each other.
I can load and unload the swf's as long as I pause the videos before I click on another thumbnail, but if I click on another thumbnail while the external swf is playing it's flv, the previous flv keeps playing and stack up under the newly loaded swf.

i want make a flash application for web in which when someone open the page which contains my flash, at that instanse a load event should be called and when someone closes the window or change the site, it unload things..means a unload event must be called...
View 1 RepliesI have this simple code to play and stop external swf[code]...
View 6 RepliesOK this should be the last of the coding to complete my AS2 to AS3 conversion of a site. The AS2 site had an external photogallery .swf that loaded from a navigation button on the main timeline. It used the loadMovie function so it loaded a photogallery on top of the main .swf in level one.
I also had unloadMovie,1 in all the navigation buttons so if a user was in the gallery and they clicked anywhere else in the main .swf which is all in level 0 the gallery in level 1 would be deleted.
In this situation the gallery that will be loaded on top of the main.swf needs to be a little smaller than the main ,swf so the navigation on the top of the main shows through. If the main.swf is 900 x 600 I would need to load the photogallery on top which would be 900 x 450 and need to use x and y coordinates so when the swf loads it loads in the right spot.
I have a several galleries that I will be loading via several xml files. Gallery1 will load on start and the other galleries will load through buttons using their instance names (i.e. "gallery3" button will load "gallery3.xml"). Currently I have a function + listener (called "home") to initiate gallery1 on start, a function + listener (called "goSection") to initiate the other galleries via button instance name, and a function that loads the gallery (called "fileLoaded") with the listener located in the "home" and "goSection" functions. There is a lot more code in the fileLoaded function that controls the thumbnail and full size images functionality that I am excluding because its probably not necessary for my problem. Im not sure the most efficient way to set this all up so I unload the existing gallery before I load a new gallery. Ive tried to use removeChild and removeEventListener on urlLoader without much success.[code]...
