ActionScript 3.0 :: Using The AddChild Function To A Movieclip To Load Up Another Section On The Site?
Apr 24, 2011
I'm using the addChild function to a movieclip to load up another section on the site. However,everything behind that loaded SWF is still running,meaning sections are constantly stacking and it slows down the more sections you access.I've been trying to think of ways to resolve this and have yet to come up with a decent solution. I've thought of removing the previous swf,but that would would take the swf with it that was loaded as a child.Here's the important bit of my code you should see:
ActionScript Code:var section2Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Tracks.swf");var section2Loader:Loader = new Loader ();tracks_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tracksPage);function tracksPage(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]......

I was wondering how can I make my links in Flash readable for browsers? In other words, to be able to provide link to specific section of my website. For illustration, take a look at Jenson Button's website:The link above points to the "News" section, although the site is in flash.

[URL].. If you navigate to the health+science section on each site, you'll notice in the dev, the XML displays properly. If you check it out in the first one (not dev) you'll notice a break or two between each line.
The swfs and XML are identical. Anyone know of a reason why it would change like that?

On my site I have 5 buttons for navagation along the top, when you go to the Photos section there is a button that appears on stage and, when clicked, loads an external swf onto the stage, no problems so far.If I or the user clicks this button to load this external swf onto the stage and then clicks one of the other navagation buttons to go to a different section of the site, that external swf doesn't disappear.

I was recently given the task of creating the webpage for my school's physics department. I want to recreate a textbook where you would actually have to flip the page to get to the next section. While searching the net, I found exactly what I was looking for.

How on earth can I recreate that effect? I know it has somethning to do with rotations and dragging a mask with the mouse but how?

I have a feeling I will be a frequent visitor.creating a site for a client. The entire site will be in AS3, we're doing one long page with navigation that will always sit in a box to the left. When you click on a button in the nav, we want the site to scroll down to a certain section.

I have my entire site layout in Flash CS4 and using AS3. I was able to successfully segment the site with labels, add UI Loaders to desired sections to make the site smaller and work faster, I was able to put a close button above the UI Loader, which closes it and brings a user back to a designated section of the site.
And then I encountered a problem. I have a few images in each UI Loader which I would like to function as buttons and also bring the user to the desired section on the main site, however it seems to be a problem that the buttons are located inside the UI Loader I can not figure out how to jump out of the loader to the main site.
Is there a specific code for it or the whole layout has to be somehow restructured?

now we all used to disable the menu until new section of our site gets animation but how do you handle user repeatedly abusing for example back button on the browser when moving though your website?

Flash CS4/Actionscript 3 I am trying to create a section for a site where mousing over a button will play a certain frame of a movie clip, which is sitting next to the button. Mousing over different buttons will play (and stop) different frames in the movie clip.

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

I have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?

I have 2 swf's:
Section.swf (to be loaded in main)
Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this:
[AS]
onLoad = function(){
// start doing stuff
}[/AS]
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run!

i have a movie and want to load external swf files into the middle section. my navigation allows users to access from 10 buttons. i can load the swfs either thru createEmptyMovieClip, or loadmovieNum. but i can't seem to control the levels. that is previous movies can be seen underneath the new loaded movie... i need to clear previous movie clip before loading the next, here is createEmptyMovieClip code.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("generic_mc",2);

I've followed the tuts on the site and written||cut'n'paste a few bits together that resize my picture to the border's size.
[Code]...
First; this code didn't work properly until I put the 'this.onEnterFrame' section just before the resizePic function is called. Why? Second; I've noticed a lot of times 'onEnterFrame' is called, its deleted again further down the code. Should I be doing so in this case? Why is it normally deleted? Memory managent?

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

I have a movieClip in my library that I am loading into a scrollPane. When I click on the scrollPane I want to know the name of the target I am clicking on. I am trying event.currentTarget but all that I get in the output box is ObjectMovieClip. I want to use one function for all my buttons so when I click on them it loads another movieClip in my library. I realize I could make 3 separate functions, but I'ld like to use just one.

my_mediafile.load(new URLRequest("PMP2.jpg"));
//trace ("my_mediafile "+my_mediafile);
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
mc_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile);
i have a movie clip(called gfx_pmp) inside of my movieclip (called mc_pmp) and i wanted to add a child to that movieclip gfx_pmp
thought i could use this code
mc_pmp.gfx_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile)
but it doesn't seem to work. when i ran a trace on mc_pmp.gfx_pmp it returned null as a value
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
//returns null
i dont see what the issue is here, or why the trace on that is returning null
[object mc_pmp_43]
1st trace gfx_pmp [object MovieClip]

I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

I would like to create a function that adds a child to whatever mc i choose like this where targetMc is the mc that i want the child (libraryMc) to be added to
PHP Code:
functionName(targetMc,libraryMc);
so right now my function looks like this
PHP Code:
function functionName(targetMc:MovieClip,libraryMc:MovieClip):void
{
var libContent:libraryMc = new libraryMc();
targetMc.addChild(libContent);
}
i know this is wrong as new libraryMc() is also being replaced with the libraryMc:MovieClip and that is probably why it's not working.

Code:
var rockSpawn:rock;
function doCollision():void
{
trace("collision detected at "+collisionLoc+", Time: "+flash.utils.getTimer());
rockSpawn = new rock;
[code]....
This function spawns a rock object from the library at a given location, and then moves it to the right every frame until it reaches the edge of the screen, at which point it's deleted. The problem: when a rock is spawned, it moves to the right, but when a new rock is spawned, the previous one stops dead. Each rock moves progressively faster, as if each rockSpawn.x++ is stacking to make the object move 1 pixel faster each time the function is called.
How would I modify this code to spawn separate instances of a projectile that behave the same? Also, how would I reference them for say, collision detection? That is:
Code:
if (a rockSpawn instance collides with the movieClip ship)
{
do stuff;
}

Does anyone know how to addChild(aMovieClip) to stage by using a static function, like:
public static var player
public static function LoadPlayer()
{
GameEngine.player = new Player
stage.addChild(player)
}
(Or better yet tell me how to run functions in different class without creating instances of them or using static function )

On my stage I have a movie clip called 'm1'. I also have a variable 'i' which is equal to 1. if I load in a bitmap (called 'bmp') and then use: this["m"+i].addChild(bmp) it attaches the bitmap to the movie clip - no problem. However, if I have a second movie clip WITHIN 'm1' (let's say this second movie clip is called 'mm1') - I can't figure out how to dynamically attach the bitmap to the second movie clip. this["m"+i].this["mm"+1].addChild(bmp) doesn't work....
