ActionScript 3.0 :: New Movieclip From External Swf?
Jun 28, 2009
I have an externally loaded swf with several keyframes on it´s own timeline. I would like to duplicate content of current (stopped) keyframe to new movieClip. There is no duplicateMovieClip in AS3 anymore.... how could I do that. Now I´m using draw and bitmapData to create new bitmap from stage, but quality is not very good (I also print that bitmap). It would be better if I could create it as movieClip and retain vectors and text unrasterized...
I want access MovieClips Dynamically from the external flash file.There are 5 MovieClips named Loader_1_mc, Loader_2_mc,.Loader_5_mc like so. Each of this movieClip contain 5 movieClips by named acc_1,acc_2, acc_5 like.How Can I access From the swf file. i tried few steps within nested loop.[code]
I am loading an external swf into an empty movie clip by use of a button.The movieclip is a sort of menu that begins with an animation of the menu opening, there are multiple different movieclips I am using with this format.What I am trying to accomplish is this.When another button is pressed, I want the movieclip (regardless of which one is loaded) to either:Go to a specific frame and play a closing animation within the movieclip, BEFORE a new movieclip is loaded. OR reverse the animation BEFORE loading new movieclip.Since there are 4 or 5 buttons all loading different clips, I need all the buttons to work this way regardless of which movieclip is loaded.
I have an external swf that I am trying to put into a movieClip. The swf is 400x400 and the mc is 500x500. The result I get is below. [URL] Click on the International Wine Institute button and you can see my problem. All my thumbnails are not contained in my mc.
I am a new forum user and new AS programmer (but an experienced OOP in C++/Java/.NET),now using Flash CS4 on a Windows XP Pro machine.Using pre-loader demos from the web I coded my first AS3 program, it actually works as expected with some SWF movies; but with others it fails to operate properly.What I wanted to do is to create classes for each type of movieclip I have (the movieclips are all 100 frames animations) and when I create the instances with "new" the classes would just load its corresponding movieclip content (A SWF file containing the 100 frames).
Well the first problem I ran into was that if the SWF file is from previous versions (AS2 say) it does not work. Just to let you know because that is not the prolem now.All the program is doing now is loading the external swf into a movieclip instance at the time the class is created, this part works fine always, and then listening to EVERYFRAME events just calls moveNext going from frame 1 to 100, and when I reaches frame 100 it plays backwards by calling movePrevious.
The program works fine with a SWF file I downloaded from the web, but because I am having a hard time finding long animations built with the current version of Flash I tried to create my own SWF files to test, etc... Now the problems:I have 100 frames that I import to the stage into a new movieclip, then I right click on that movieclip in the library and export this movieclip as SWF using Flash S4...which creates the SWF fine and which I can play in a player fine too.However the program fails with this Flash CS4 movieclip ! , for some reason it does not seem to react to the moveNext and movePrevious calls, it just plays from 1 to 100 and them jumps back to 1 again.
How to create a movielclip, and then put an external file into it (picture or swf). I first need to create the movieclip var holder_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip; Next I defined where the file is filelocal = "somegalaxy/far/far/away"
This is where I hit the wall, I seen examples where I need to add a listener , others just looked like they added the child. I went the simple (wrong) route and tried just using the addChild. Complied, but nothing addChild.holder_mc (filelocal).
I have a main.swf in which i load a xml flash slideshow (.swf). I want to place a menu which will be shown in front of the slideshow gallery. I place the menu at an upper layer but the menu appears behind the slideshow. generally(i.e. in case i want to place something else on top or behind something else)
I have two movieclips that I would like to interact with eachother (in this case, lets just say its a ball that I throw, and the ground). The problem that I am having is that the ball has its own .as file that determines its gravity and x/y directions depending on mouse position (those values are called in the main actionscript)
Is seems like hitTestObject can not find the Ball movieclip because it is not added to the stage or display list until I click the mouse.
I have embedded a external swf in a movieclip called "container". In the external swf is a movieclip "black_rectangle". How do I have to write the path to this rectangle? My version doesnt't work and i have no idea why not
say I load an external SWF, "objects1.swf" onto a skeleton of a car. Inside the car movieclip, there are headlights, door, and hood, each that need to be loaded with the movieclip inside of the car's respective movieclip. Instead of loading objects1_hood.swf, objects1_door.swf, and objects1_headlight.swf separately into their respective locations, I would just like to load objects1.swf, and take the 3 movie clips in it, and distribute them into their spots, eg "_root.car.headlight"
I have managed to load external swf's fine and also unload them when a new one is loaded, but now I need the swf's that are loaded to appear below (meaning on a lower layer effectively) than my navigation, which is in the main swf. I can get that to happen by creating a movieClip on the stage on a layer beneath the one my navigation is on and loading the swf into that mc, but then I don't know how to clear the swf from that mc so another one can load there in it's place.
Here is the code I have so far:
Code: //Universal Button Function function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
I'm having trouble trying to cache a movieclip that contains an external image that I have successfully loaded. My problem is that the fade function that is running when after the image is duplicated doesn't appear to be affecting the mc that contains the cached image.Is there a handler that I can use to ensure that the bitmap is attached inside the movie clip before I run my fade in, or do I have to beware of a timing issue and delay running the setInterval for the fade in?
bmppopulatedClip.onLoadInit = functiontoRun; or something?
How do I make an external movieclip preloader? Anyone know of a good tutorial because I have been trying for the past 12 hours to get a preloader to work(no not 12 hours straight lol). My file is 2.6 mb so I really need the preloader. Or if there are any free programs that make preloaders that would be good too. Or any components that have a tutorial with them(also needs to be free).
I've got a problem headaching me all afternoon long: Inside an SWF I want to load an external SWF inside an empty movieclip. On that frame I've got: emptymovieclip.loadMovie("external.swf"); Inside the external SWF I've got a Preloader on the first frame consisting of a movieclip of 128frames. I'd like to appear from the first frame to the 128th related to loading percentage. When loaded it must go to fram 2 and this is the script on the movieclip:
I have 4 empty movieclips called holderMC1/2/3/4 on 4 frames of the main timeline. Each movieclip loads in an external swf with this code: var swfLoader4:Loader = new Loader(); holderMC4.addChild(swfLoader4); var bgURL4:URLRequest = new URLRequest("F1_h.swf"); swfLoader4.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete4); swfLoader4.load(bgURL4); function loadProdComplete4(e:Event):void { trace("file loaded4"); } I have 4 buttons which on click goes to 4 frame labels on the main timeline corresponding with the 4 movieclips. Very simple - works fine - except the swfs don't unload properly, so the video in the external swfs keeps playing in the background when a new swf has been loaded.
I've created a class that contains all of the movie clips from the stage. These variables are referring to the instance's name on the stage. Everything seems fine as long as I keep all of my functionality in a single class. However, when I try to use another class to manage the properties of a movie clip, I run into resource clean up issues.
//File (MainScreen.as) import utils.Container; class MainScreen extends MovieClip
I wanna link a movie clip which has instace name test1 to a external urlI am using a menu list which has main movieclip instance name as 'Primary_Menu'. And inside this main movie clip there are 7 menus (home, about us etc..) each menus are movie clip and has instance names.Below code is written for linking them to respective frames. but i need to give external url for last menu (test1)
I have built a horizontal scroller, you can see images there that go from left to rigth, what I wanted to do is when a user clicks on a thumbnail:
1)go to full screen mode
2)create an empty movie clip and load a jpg into it
I did it, but when I go back to the normal screen the empty movie clip is still there. How can I get rid of it when the user goes to the normal screen? it seems to be that when I load the jpg into the emptymovieclip the empty movie clip doesn't have the click property is that true?
I'm loading external swfs into instance "Frame01" which is a MovieClip, the MovieClip is nested within instance"FrameLoader" (MovieClip) Which moves (elastic effect) when a button is pressed. Im looking to get the loaded swf to be inside "Frame01" while its sliding.
//Elasticity Effect: var xVel:Number=535.0; var yVel:Number=89.0;[code].......
I'm trying to make a simple "tamagotchi-alike" application and i have encountered problems when trying to access a movieclip. To describe the situation, at the beginning there is nothing on the stage, then from a class called Kitty I attach a movieclip called mainStage with all the animations.
I have a flash file that loads an external class. Everything till here works file, now this flash when run loads menu from xml file and when you click one link it gotoAndStop() in a movieclip. In one of the frames I am loading an external movie. This script I took from another tutorial and which run well if I try it in a new flash file but when I put it there and run the file, everything works well except that the movie doesn't load. so I have: MainClass.as which is the default script which loads inside it another as file for the menu. Inside the frame where I want to load the movieclip I have this code:
I need to load a external file as movieclip and play according to the mouse movements. External swf consit of panning sequence in which i have to stop in 122 frame when my mouse is between 250 and 1000 x position.
But my problem is the loaded movieClip plays fine in first time when i return to the position movieclip does not play good. animation becomes jerky.
