ActionScript 3.0 :: Unable To Compile Clips And Put Them Into Main Movie Library

Jun 17, 2009

I have code like this:
 
ldr = new Loader();              var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SWF/Somefile.swf");
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);              ldr.load(req);             Object.addChild(ldr);
 
That I use to load SWF movies into a flash file. I do this because I am unable to compile clips and put them into my main movie library without breaking the actionscript and causing everything to go haywire.The problem with this is that it will only work so long as the swf movie file is within the vicinity of the SWF/Somefile.swf. I need to make a standalone SWF for my purposes.

IDE :: Unable To Click On Movie Clips?

Aug 9, 2009

For some reason I am no longer able to select any of the movie clips I have in my 1-Frame game. I've tried all the different mouse tools, and none have worked. Flash seems to think that they have all become part of the background. The biggest problem is not being able to put more symbols in the game

ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Movie Clips Embedded Inside A Movie Clip On The Main Timeline?

Dec 6, 2009

I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.

I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:

building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Movie Clips From Library?

Jan 30, 2009

I'm new to AS but have some coding background (php, sql, vba) and some basic (non-AS) Flash skills.I want to create a bar chart a bit like this: http:[url].....Really would like some sample code if poss. This is my thinking:

1) Each section of the bar chart will be a movie clip, mc_2, mc_3 etc.

2) There will be an array with Qty, Type, Desc and Name of movie clip (e.g. mc_3).

3) There is a generic bar chart "block" movie clip in the library ("Block")

4) So I plan to loop through the array, attachMovie for each iteration, resize the Movie proportionate to Qty, and colour it by Type.

Problem is: (1) I don't know the right functions to use; (2) Are mc_2, mc_3 INSTANCES of my generic movieclip, "Block" ? (3) should the code sit on the timeline? (4) do i need an empty movie clip to attach the library item to?

Code:
Pseudo code:
n=length of array
for (var i:Number = 0; i < n; i++) {[code]....

The final thing would be a bit more complex with frames etc, but generating the movies would be a start.

I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Scrolling And Movie Clips Loaded From The Library?

Aug 12, 2010

Ok, I'm using actionscript 2.0, and I am trying to make a scrolling image gallery. I have a movie clip with three layers. the first contains a movie clip used as a scroll bar. The second is a mask used to hide the overflow content, and the third contains movie clip thumbnails. when I click one of the thumbnails, it loads a symbol containing a larger version of the picture over top of the thumbnails on the same layer. My problem is, the large image is added at the very top of the movie clip, even when it is scrolled out of sight. I want it to appear in sight, so the user doesn't have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see it. This is annoying and confusing. Is there a way to do this?

Here is the code I used to create the scroll effect (there is actually a whole lot more to the code but it is very long, so I am not adding it now. I will if it is needed though)(Oh, and there is no text involved in this. I just got this code off a tutorial and I haven't changed the variable names yet)
 
var scrollUpper:Number = 58; var scrollLower:Number = 309;
var textLower:Number = 60; var textUpper:Number = -179;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper; var textRange:Number = textLower

ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Display Of Movie Clips From Library?

Jan 5, 2010

I'm trying to display random movie clips within the library (See attached fla)
each movie clip needs to display (fade in/fade out) and then proceed to display another movie clip from the library

You'll see how i have tried to do this is by creating a random number

Code:
var myImageSequence = 6;
var RandomLogo = Math.floor(Math.random()*myImageSequence)+1;
gotoAndStop(RandomLogo);

this code works, as it always selects a random frame and plays the movie clip within but then stops.

I need to then select another mc after this animation has finished and so on within a loop

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Random Movie Clips From The Library?

Mar 19, 2009

(****another title for this could be "how to create a MovieClip variable")
basically, im trying to load random movie clips from the library when i run the function "TRO1".. the logic behind what im trying to do is to to first create an array containing the class names (name given in the "linkage" option) of the movie clips in the library... then randomly select an item from that array... then bring it to the stage.. Here is the code I typed:

var characterArray:Array = ["truck", "car", "boat", "train", "helicopter"]
function TRO1(event:Event):void
{

[Code].....

When i try to run the function, i get the error message "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor..."

I think the problem is that flash doesn't understand what "randomCharacter" is in the line "var character:MovieClip = new randomCharacter();"... I assume there is a proper way of writing the "randomCharacter" variable so that i can use it in the succeeding line...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Put Movie Clips Into The Main Movie?

Sep 12, 2003

after having read the manual and MANY online tutorials, I can't find a simple, concise, tutorial on how to do the easiest thing possible: how do you put movie clips into the main movie and play them and which scripts do you use to do this?

I know this sounds ridiculous - but there are lots of little idiosyncracies in placing MC's on the timeline.

For example:

1) You can put any movie clip in the first frame and it will play - but if you put it on the second frame or beyond (with no scripts) it won't

2) When to use the stop command on the first frame (I know this is to stop unwanted looping so a MC will play, and to stop other scripts from executing, but it seems to be inconsistent in it's use from what I've seen)

3) whether to use "gotoandplay" or just "play"

4) when you must use target paths and when you can use just a command on the root level

What I want to be able to do is have several layers of movie clips, control them playing, and ideally be able to stagger when they start without moving them around to later frames etc.Is this just too stupid for words or have any of you had trouble in this area when first starting with flash?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clips On Main Timeline?

Jun 24, 2004

I'm making a movie w/ no interactivity and I want to put a series of movie clips on the main time line, each to play after the previous movie clip is done. The only way I can make it work is to put the movie clips in keyframes and then allow all all the frames for the movie to play. My movie is way too long and I know there has to be a better way! I'm trying to figure out the action to assign to the keyframe that will play the movie clip within that one frame and when it's done, go on to the next movie clip.

Scrub Main Timeline And See Movie Clips Play?

Jun 14, 2009

Is it possible to have an instance of a movie clip symbol which has its own timeline "play" when you scrub the main timeline?You can do this with graphic symbols, but so far I've had no luck doing this with movie clips.See, I have a movie clip -- several actually -- with their own timelines which I want to place in the main timeline.When I scrub the main timeline I'd like to see them scrub as well, instead of simply seeing the first frame of the movie clip.I basically have to work blind like this.
 
What I'm trying to do is basically have several "slides" which are animated and then have a stop();. They'll sit there for a second and then the entire animation, or slide (movie clip) will move off the stage. I can't do this now. When I scrub the main timeline I can't tell what's happening in the movie clip. I can't tell when I can slide it off the stage.I tried to get around this by using graphic symbols with their own timeline, but adding a stop(); doesn't work in them.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pulling Movie Clips From Library At Runtime, Dynamic Names?

Jun 26, 2009

Currently i am experiencing a problem with pulling Movie Clips from a Library and Tweening it (adding) it to the stage at runtime and then quickly removing it (addChild()) and removeChild(); I have 6 Library items, which i am interested in using.

car_mc1
car_mc2
car_mc3[code].....

My Question:

1) The name is not genereted through the addChild metho, is there an temp Add solution or something that would add on the Fly?

2)The object when working as a single object, gets Tweened out to -200, i just want it to Tween out and get Removed form the stage?

3) The Movie Clip remains on the screen while another instance is brought on when using static naming convetion (this is just to say that i have tested it),I only want the object to be available for the Tween, nothing else

Professional :: Playing Multiple Movie Clips One After Other On Main Timeline?

Apr 23, 2010

Excuse the probably simple question but I'm just starting off with Flash.I have imported a few video trailers directly into flash and saved them as movie clips. I want to be able to insert these movie clips onto the main timeline and play them one after the other, repeating once they have all played. On the main timeline I have set a layer for each clip and a keyframe where the clip is inserted for each layer. When I go to play the flash file, it is showing the first frame from each movie file and then moving to the first frame of the next movie file. What do I need to do to make flash play the entire movie file in that specific frame before moving to the next frame where the next movie file is and playing all that movie?
