I've been trying to load xml data into a movie clip that's 2 levels into the main timeline, and it's not working.If movie clip is it the main timeline everything works fine.
I'm assuming that xml only loads into the main timeframe, and that's the problem, but I'm not sure..to pass the XML object created in main timeline into a 2nd level movie clip?
i want to ask if i want to make a mc loader to make the user see that the data I am getting from the database is still loading. I was using these commandsvIn.getBytesLoaded()lvIn.getBytesTotal()but I do not know where i exactly put these two commands with some formulas or what other function i am missing. Because when i put it in the function(success) part, it gives an equal value which is the total bytes loaded. I am working currently with 900+ items (will be increased after some time ) which gives around 4-5 seconds delay before all data is loaded, so i want to make a loading movie clip so that the user will know that the data is still loading.flash communicates with a php file on the server. php file communicates with mssql servermssql goes back to phpthen php to flashhere is a sample of my script (some parts where already removed to make script smaller)

Well this is the problem right here. In my flash movie, I made it so a member from my PunBB Forum can login using their login information from the forum, This is using the LoadVars and it loads the variables into flash and displays the username. In the php script i made it so it will display profile information that user has on the forum, this is where the problem comes in.. I can trace the data perfectly fine in the output panel when you are successfully logged into flash.
I can also display the data in Dynamic text boxes IF they are on the main stage.. I need to be able to load the data of the user inside of a movie clip.. that is loaded when you click "User Profile" on the menu, Once the movie is loaded, no data is displayed. Yes i have all the instance names and paths correct, but no matter what i do I cannot load the data into this movie clip. So me thinking it just wouldnt work, I tried making a profile page on a different keyframe in the timeline, That also did not load the data onto another frame.
I've been trying to load a movie clip from a movie clip that has been loaded. I am trying to provide a simple means to change the look / feel of the flash application by placing the graphics and controls into a second swf. Each different screen is represented by a different movie clip that is in the second swf. So I've got app.swf loading ui.swf. I want to load screen1_mc from ui.swf.
The app.swf is loaded by a master swf. There may be multiple copies of the app.swf that can be loaded by the master.swf and each app.swf could be configured differently. For each "unique" app.swf it is stored under a unique folder that is not known to me in advance. Since I don't know the unique folder in advance, I can't use import / export for runtime sharing. Is there any way to load the movie clips from the loaded movie clip? (Basically, I want to treat the ui.swf as an extension to the library.)
i have movie clip x (which is blank), and movie clip y, but movie clip is only on the timeline
how do i play movie clip y in movie clip x ??
I'm working on a flash site and I'm having some trouble with the programming for it. I'm not so great at action script, so I'm hoping that my troubles are caused by my own stupidity and that some cool smart person will have an answer for me.
So, I have a main menu flash file that functions like the one in this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm I set it to load various swf files and it's works just fine. What I want to do is have it load a swf that functions exactly the same (buttons that load external clips with transitions) as the main swf- this is a sub page menu. So, in theory, the sub menu page should load the final content, and three swfs would be seen stacked ontop of each other.
I changed the instance names in the sub menu file to be different than that in the main menu file. This fixed the original problem of it loading the content clip into the clip that the sub menu should stay in. Now, It loads the sub menu just fine, but then it gets stuck and never loads the content. The sub menu buttons will not function at all. Independent of the main menu, the sub menu file works perfectly What can I do??? Does it have anything to do with the "_root"? I never understood the concept, so I'm having trouble with it.
I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

I would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?
I import my images with

View 1 RepliesI followed a tutorial about using the XML connector component, that has to do with loading text into a text area for example�.everything works great!...but I keep wondering is it all possible for the data �text� that is coming from the XML file to trigger a movie clip that�s placed on the stage already�or library�.or change visibility� or play this or that movie clip?..
EG..
Heres the XML stuff
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<DATA>
<STATUS>0</STATUS>
the status part only changes between 2 numbers..0 and 1�.is it possible to make those numbers in the XML trigger a movie clip to play or show itself?
EG.. If 0 is found in the XML file movie clip 0 would play/showitself� is 1 is found in the XML file movie clip 1 would play/showitself?

View 1 Repliesi found an example online where bombs falling from the sky remove circles from a grass field, and a moving character can interact with the newly made circles(go into them). i dissected the code to the point where the only thing that happens now is that you click on the field and remove a circle:
PHP Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;
[code]....
and now im trying to figure out if i can use this code on a movie clip already on the stage, instead of a bitmap in the library
does anyone know how?
In the movie clip im doing i have few animation and transitions in movie clips. When some movie clips are click the open a text information and that text is the dynamic text that i want to load the xml file that havethe information to be displayed.[code]...
How ever if i place the dynamic text on the root and this code it does work. The issue here is that i need it to load when the movie clip of the text is loaded in the scene. i heard something about specifying inside the xml object the movie clip name but i couldn't understand a thing the guy tried to explain.
I can send the source files if needed to undestand more. the preview of the page is in here[url]...When you click the MRI image a text field will appear saying loading... that where the xml file should load.

I am trying to load a movie in a MC with playerLoader.loadMovie("lili_player.swf"); the clip that it is loading into is on the _root level. It is working fine when i test in from my machine in a browser, but as soon as I try to test it online it will not load.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to dynamically load "demon_mc" (from the library) into the "castle_mc" which already loaded from the library, but I want the "castle_mc" to be fully loaded and then the "demon_mc" starts loading.
let say:
The "castle_mc" consists of 15 frame and I want the "demon_mc" be loaded dynamiclly when "castle_mc" has reached frame 15.I used onClipEvent and then I wrote this condition if(currentFrame == totalFrames), but I guess my code it totally wrong.
This used to be so easy in AS1 and AS2, but since I haven't been using Flash in 2 years now. looks like time ran over me - and it looks like it'd take me a while before I figure this out in AS3. So, what I want to do is to call external swf into another movie clip and my stage is set like this.
In main timeline I have two layers:first is (center_mc) and contains movie clip "center_mc" which is positioned in the middle of stage and in the second layer (mbottom_mc) is movie clip "mbottom_mc" that will contain buttons as "menubtn01". So what I Want to do is when I click on this "menubtn01" to call external swf into THAT movie "center_mc". So to clear the external swf that "center_mc" is showing with the new.

View 9 RepliesI am trying to load data into 3 different movie clips. (content_mc, content2_mc and content3_mc). Each movieclip will get one image and two bits of text (picture, who and bios <== instance names)
Those 3 movieclips are inside of another movieclip, contentHold. That movieclip is setup to scroll vertically ( I was able to do that myself ).
SO my problem is I have that I can't figure out how to load the data into the 3 movieclips as I want to.
I have attached my .fla and .xml file from the project.
In a movie clip, I have a function named addObject(string). Inside that function I am loading another movie clip (say, myObj1_mc) using attachMovie. After loading, I need to set the string passed to the text field inside the myObj1_mc. But it is not possible to do this immediately, because the movie clip will take some time to load after the attachMovie call. Means if we set this string in the next frame, it will be working. But in my case, I have to call addObject multiple times (from a single frame). In each time, different movie clips (say, myObj1_mc, myObj2_mc, etc.) are created dynamically and texts are set. So it would be better if I can wait until the movie clip (myObj1_mc) is loaded completely so that I can set the text, before the addObject function exit.
how can we wait, until a movie clip attached is completely functional.

So now I want to achieve exactly the same thing in AS3, I have been looking at examples on the web but am getting all sorts of errors and basically don't know what I am doing. I also want to know how to navigate to .swf files in a file structure, as I have to build an old school fscommand file structure for a cd-rom.
Is there an event for when a movieClip loads that I can have other aspects of my flash movie react to? I would like to add an event listener for when movieClipOne loads that can trigger a different function in my actionscript (dim the rest of the stage).movieClipOne.addEventListener(Event.NAME, dimFunction);
View 3 RepliesI'm loading a movieclip into an empty movieclip on the stage and what I want is for the clip to 'zoom up' to 100% ( from say 30% size ).
I have been trying along these lines ( script attached to empty movieclip) :
onClipEvent(load) {
scaleAmt = 10;
this._alpha = 0;
[Code]....
This nearly does it, but the clip loading in scales from the left to right - I want it to scale up centrally?
