ActionScript :: Fill Stage With External SWF?
Jan 27, 2010
EDIT: I have since solved this problem by simply reworking my MXML-based app and using the SWFLoader component to get the desired effect, without any reloading necessary. This question is therefore no longer an issue for me, but I leave it open for reference.
[Code]...
How can I duplicate MXML's 100% height and width in pure ActionScript? Is it doable? If not, I have a fallback app in pure MXML, but my implementation there involves loading the SWFs every time I want to add or remove any one of them... it's not perfect. So I'd prefer this type of implementation if I can just figure out the sizing issue.

I'm writing a very simple AS2 class, that only should create an empty movieClip and fill the stage with a box drawn with the lineTo property. But for some reason, Stage.height always returns a number that is exactly 100px less than the actual stage height.
Code:
class centre {
public function centre() {
createBg();
trace("width: " + Stage.width);
trace("height: " + Stage.height);

let's say i have this object on stage and it is called myShape and i want to manipulate it via action-script and apply a gradient color to it .. no if it is a fill color i could have used the colortransform method but i don't think that it will work ..
import flash.geom.*
import flash.display.*
var fillType:String = GradientType.LINEAR;[code]........
now when i test this i don't get any errors but i doesn't apply any thing ..

Im trying to create a layout in flex using mxml, the layout contains a Canvas component and a Box. The layout should always be such that the Box sits at the bottom edge of the application and has a fixed height, whereas the Canvas fills the remaining stage area and does not overlap with the Box. My MXML is as follows;

Iit works but it's just not perfect. Ihaven't played with flash since MX, things have changed a bit. Here is the online sample: [URL]. If you want the source it here: [URL]. So I would like to learn how to create an if / else function to control the height of a MC. i.e. This externalMC I used is 900 X 500, so divide 900/500 = 1.8:1 (or .5556:1) this gives you your relative ratio. Then just multiple the width of 75% of stageWidth by .5556 to get the proportional width, the problem is once the browser windows height is resized to <= 500. it stops.
Code:
Select all/*Resize*/
holder.smoothing = true;
var mainStage:Stage = this.stage;
mainStage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
mainStage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
function initialDisplay(evt:Event):void {
[Code] .....

This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.

I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.

I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).

An external swf is loaded using this code...
[Code]...
The problem is that even though this external movie covers the whole stage, My mouse can still "see" buttons that are on the stage, and I can click them. I don't want to be able to click the buttons through my external movie.

1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.

I created a quiz using this tutorial : [URL]
and now i want to use this quiz ( the swf file ) in a frame of an application i am working on. I want as soon the user clicks on a button to launch the quiz.
I tried any way found on net for importing external swf but it never works.
the buttons of quiz appear in the wrong place of the stage ( at the fla where the swf is loaded in )and nothing else is seen, textfields etc.

OK, I load an external SWF on stage.
I have a mc on there already, it's called 'darkOverlay' (instance name).
This is the code I'm trying to use to access it:
Code:
trace(stage.getChildByName("darkOverlay"));
if(stage.getChildByName("darkOverlay"))
{
MovieClip(stage.getChildByName("darkOverlay")).gotoAndPlay(21);
}
It returns null even when it's loaded in the main swf. What am I overlooking here?

I'm building my brother a flash AS2 website for his construction company....everything is going smoothly up until now where he wants to have a "cover flow" - iTunes album art style gallery to display the images of his work portfolio.
I am building his website COMPLETELY out of flash, from what I know - I'm not pro enough to build the cover flow style gallery myself so I'm looking for a nice external flash gallery that I can modify and load the gallery swf into my main stage / website... or directly place the entire flash gallery into one frame of the main website.
I came across this application called "Gallery Studio" by ijoysoft [URL] that very easily lets you automate flash galleries with your images and you can export it as a single .swf file. IT IS PERFECT! It has something very similar to cover flow and my brother loves it.
Now I've worked with loading external .swf's onto the main stage of my websites before.. but for some reason I cannot load THIS automated swf onto my flash stage. I can't figure out why it wont appear.on the main timeline of the website "AHRENS.fla" frame 252 is where I want the gallery to appear "gallerytest.swf" (gallery automated from the Gallery Studio program) I am using a simple:
loadMovieNum("gallerytest.swf", 400); to call it in.
I get no errors.. and nothing appears.
AHRENS.fla <- flash website file
gallerytest.swf <- automated gallery to place in frame 252 of AHRENS.fla
if I could just figure out this one problem... it will solve all my headache and pain, as I've run into loading external galleries before. Since I work making my website COMPLETELY in flash, making image galleries have always been a problem for me, I have to do them by scratch unless it requires something fancy.like cover flow, where then I look for freeware galleries off the internet but they always require javascript, their own webpage, html, css, divs etc that can't be integrated into my all flash websites. Now that I've found GALLERY STUDIO it is perfect to do special effect galleries..

I am very new to Flash and am looking for some help with linking a class I made that will shake the mc when hovered. Right now, I have all 8 mc on the stage. I had it working with repeating the code for each button but I wanted to make it into a class that way I could emininate some of the code.
I have linked each button by selecting "export for actionscript" and set the base class to "ShakeButton" and each class is named after the mc name. the mc names are just 1_mc - 8_mc.I am getting an error of 1120: Access of undefined property shaker_mc.Here is the code that I have in the ShakeButton.as file

I have several buttons which when clicked should load an external swf to the stage. This is an example of one of my events
[Code].....
Firstly, should I be doing this in every buttons event, or is there a more economical way of doing it? Like will it allow me to make the loader global, and reuse the same loader with each event? Secondly, if I have it like this, and I click a button, an swf will load onto the screen. If I then click another button, another swf will load. Will this second swf sit on top of the first swf? In other words, do I need to check if any other swf's in on the screen before placing a new one, and if there are, should I remove them?

I've created a function that works on the main stage and I am trying to transfer it to an external class to make it an easily reusable function.When I run it however, everything works except for the fact that it doesn't put anything on the stage as it should. All the info it needs is there it's just not putting it there.Therefore I conclude that I am using the addChild(); incorrectlyhere is some of my code if needed:

"I am new to flash, " and am having a (minor?) problem. I am using ActionScript 2.0.Currently I am having issues with the way my external swf. is being loaded. I am using a MovieClip Loader. I want the external SWF that is loaded into the movie clip holder to be placed on top of the stage and covering everything beneath it. To get a better clue of what I am dealing with you may check URL...- that is what i am working with currently, and if you click the thumbnail image you can see a green box with body text which is loading. however I would like it to load on top instead of below![code]Within the Home swf is another SWF being loaded.URL...

i am loading 3 flv files so that the first file plays once and the other two loop afterwards. Now i am interested is it possible to position the flv files on the stage to certain coordinates when they start to play (so for example that the first flv plays as default in the centre, the second flv file plays a little bit right and the third plays a little bit left). This is the code i'm using:

In my website I would like to import a external file into the stage .The appearance of this file is an image divided into a grid of 6 rectangles (each one a mcl). What I would like to do is, on mouse over, each mcl could rotate to show its back. The idea is when you click , let's say, Adobe the Adobe logo will appear divided in 6 rectangles and when you go over with the mouse they rotates to show Adobe products.
