I am using the following code to load an external flv.
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);[code].....
But i want the movie to be loaded into my movie clip object that already created. How can i do it?
I have an existing MovieClip called mc1 on the Stage. That MovieClip has 2 keyframes, the first one has an image in it, and the second one is an empty keyframe.After compiling, I want to load an image (image1) from the library into the the firstkeyframe, and replace the existing image.
I know I need to right click on the image in the library, export it, give it a class name, and I need to assign an url to it which would be 'image1' in this case.I was thinking of this, but I cannot get the url right, and I dont know how to refer to the firstkeyframe after I've loaded it...
var Imagecontainer:Loader = new Loader();
var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest('image1');
Imagecontainer.load(image);
mc1.addChild(Imagecontainer);
I've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?
What I wan't to do is load a .swf into an existing .swf to keep down loadtimes. I've placed the visual representation of the actuall loading on the external .swf [URL] (Actuall website I need this for, I'm redesigning it)
I would copy the elements/AS from the website above but it doesn't work. So obviously I've missed something. What I've got is quite simply:
Code:
loadMovie("my_path/my_swf.swf", "stageloader");
"stageloader" being the instance name of a movieclip on the _root containing a graphic at the size I want loaded loaded .swf's to fit.
I would like to automatically load an external swf inside an existing empty mc (or a new one) and load/unload different external swf on several button click functions. I've been trying so many different methods until its probably loaded with irrelevant functions!
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("homepage.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.x=477;
myLoader.y=0;
/* Click to Load/Unload SWF or Image from a URL.
Clicking on the symbol instance loads and displays the specified SWF or image URL. Clicking on the symbol instance a second time unloads the SWF or image.
Instructions:
1. Replace "[URL]" below with the desired URL address of the SWF or image. Keep the quotation marks ("").
2. Files from internet domains separate from the domain where the calling SWF resides cannot be loaded without special configuration.
*/
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF);
var fl_Loader:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF(event:MouseEvent):void

I have an issue where I have a movieclip with two frames, both of which have a textfield.
The problem is, when I call gotoAndStop(2) and try assign text to the textField in that second frame I get a null Pointer exception, as if the textfield doesnt exist anymore.
Code:
public function select(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
this.myLetter.text = "X"; //there is a textfield on frame two called myLetter
}
Its simple code but it doesn't seem to be working.
I have a dummy clip in my Flash application where I want to load the final content to.Now everything seemd to work. When I do a addChild() on the complete event, the addedToStage event is triggerd, I can do a gotoAndStop but it isn't visible. Just when I do a tage.addChild() or a root.addChild() I can see it. Even "root.myClip_mc.addChild()" doesn't work. The clip where I want to add it is at position 0,0.

View 1 RepliesFlash Pro CS5 I have a plan view png made into a movieclip of a car which follows a motion guide changing direction as it travels. I select the MC in frame 1 and go to properties, filter section is currently empty and I select dropshadow from the filter choices, adjusting the angle and opacity. Looks good test movie and car runs without shadow after fr1. Methinks I need to apply it to the car in the last frame (no other keyframes between by the way), I select the car and then cannot see how to apply the filter that is now showing in the properties window. How does one apply an existing filter to a movieclip ?
Is this then what is needed to get the car to have the shadow cast north west throughout its journey ? Applying the filter to the MC at start and end of the tween ?
If an image is 800 by 600, copy the image's bitmap data and divide the image into, say, 20 by 20 squares, each having a reference to be manipulated later. Im guessing you have to use bitmapdata for that, unfortunately I dont know how to copy bitmapdata from an image's arbitrary x and y coordinates and for a certain width/height.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to open a swf file below a movieclip named frame1. this swf should appear at the exact coordinates of this movieclip:
package com.flashdo.flashblue
{
import flash.display.*;

When I used float coordinates it works fine. The movieclips I'm calling for are named correctly and exported for ac3.
I've created a graphic and have multiple instances of the graphic on the stage. I've recently decided to change the graphic to a movieClip. However, changing the original clip's type to movieClip doesn't apply the change to all instances that I've already placed on the stage; they're still all graphics.
The only way I've been able to fix it is by manually selecting each one and changing their instance behavior from 'graphic' to 'movieclip'. Is there a faster way to do this, be it a command or an actionscript code? Anything that doesn't require me manually changing each instance would be a huge time saver.
Within my code, I have a series of movie clips that are dynamic text fields created with the createTextField call. The text field is dragged and dropped onto a box. At that point I want to create a duplicate of that text field and to then position it on top of the box. The code appears to be creating a duplicate of the original clip and the traces are all successful, however, the actual movie clip is not displayed anywhere on screen. I feel that it has something to do with the depth. Originally, I was passing this.getNewHighestDepth to duplicateMovieClip but that seemed to result in my existing text fields disappearing instead!
Code:
function fnTagOnRelease(){
this.stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
if (eval(this._droptarget) != mc_DropBox){
//spring back to original position

how to addChild() a new Object to an existing movieClip on stage from an external class....
for better understanding:
This is my external Class:

When i try my code, the external class does'nt reach the terrain MovieClip :

I'm basically trying to reference a number of preexisting movieclips on the stage through a for loop, give it a variable and assign and action. So, where in AS 2.0, I would have gone:

Here's what I am trying to do: I have an array of movie clip instances called iconArray[]. what I want to do is create the effect of shifting icons on screen right or left. Lets say we're shifting the icons left--what I want to happen is the icon on the left (iconArray[0]:MovieClip) to tween to the left about 20-30 pixels and then fade out, which I can currently achieve. The problem is I want copy the instance of that icon as a temp MC and push it onto iconArray and then have it fade in tween from the right.
In other words, the left most icon should "wrap" back around to the position of the right most icon but in order to create the illusion without having the left most icon pass over the other icons (which looks tacky) I want to create a copy of the left most icon and push it onto the array as a new movieclip with the same image and have that fade in from the right while the other one dies off.
[Code]...
it does not create a new icon, is seems to point to the same movie clip as iconArray[0] and any adjustments I make to the x or alpha affect the original MovieClip instance and not the new on I created and pushed onto the array.
How does one go about copying a movieclip, storing it in it's own instance/var so it can be displayed and manipulated as a separate entity?
I am loading an external XML file. According to the information loaded from the file I would like to highlight a symbol (MovieClip) when I press a corresponding button. The Button and the MovieClip change every time I load a new XML, so it has to be dynamic.I tried the following, but that doesn't work, does anyone know why?I have an Array defined (a_HighlightArray) that I fill within a loop to hold the object (as a string! ) that is supposed to be highlighted when I press the corresponding button:
a_HighlightArray[i] = "o_Map.o_Privatwelt.o_Layer4";
Later, when I want to address the Symbol I am using the following (where Quest corresponds to the No of the button I pressed):
[a_HighlightArray[Quest]]gotoAndStop(2);
There is no error that comes up but it just doesn't do what expected. Strangely enough, if I address the Symbol directly it works perfectly fine:
o_Map.o_Privatwelt.o_Layer4.gotoAndStop(2);
I'm trying to drag a movieclip on stage, and with nine existing button instances, cause that movie clip to jump around and run at different labels (which are within the movie clip itself. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I get the error #2109 which says (similar error for each button):
