Actionscript 2.0 :: Load Movie Clip With No Delay?
Jan 21, 2009
Is it possible to load a movie clip with no delay? I have a flash project that loads multiple external swf's locally. This are actually different movie segments, like a clip for standing animation, fighting animation, defend animation, etc.. My problem is that, if i load another clip, let's say the fighting animation, it should be loaded instantly, i mean with no delay, as if it's part of the previous clip, because what happens is that when i load a specific clip there's a short delay of half-seconds before the clip loads. This is normal but is there any way on how can i load another clip as if it is part of the previous one?
Just finished building my photography portfolio www.tonerayphotography.co.uk in Flash CS3 using some Action script 2. When I first uploaded the site in Firefox 3.5 the menu buttons were `stuck` and there was a delay of about 30 secs before I could use them. Once I finally got use of the menu buttons I later returned to the site and it worked perfectly. Is this because the site was now in the cache of Firefox?
On my stage timeline there is one navigation movie clip holding aboutl 50 of my photos. Is this delay due the size of this movie clip trying to load?
in my main timeline i have no movie clips. I have a jpeg called background that basically has all the moviestuff. however when i publish the file on the web i get a delay between the music and the movie. like almost 30 seconds. Im not quite sure how to fix this. I have a swf file that loads my main swf file. SWF file that loads the main swf is only a preloader. here is the code for my music... i think that my problem is that the preloader is accounting for the movie clip but not the music, hence the difference in timing.
Code: var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Matrix.mp3"); var sound:Sound = new Sound(); var soundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();[ code]..........
I am attempting to add a movie clip to the stage when a button is triggered. When the user clicks the button the movie clip is added to the stage; it works fine, but the following problems occur:
1) The appearance of the movie clip is delayed.
2) The sound in the movie clip starts to play but the movie clip appears when the sound is finished.
Additional information: 1) The movie clip has the sound in the timeline.Here is the code:
Actionscript Code: //Buttons: Adds movie clip to stage.readtomeShortA1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playShortAReadMe1);var playShortA1:ShortAReadMe1function..[code].....
2) However, I also want to know is keeping the sound in the timeline of the movieclip the most efficient way to use sound in the movieclip? Or is there better, more efficient way to do it?
I have found some code on the web that loads a picture from a folder into a movie clip, and cyle with fadeOut and fadeIn to the next picture by using left and right arrow. I have made some changes to this code by having the pictures cycle with a timer and I also added a group of 6 movie clips for a total of 7 with their own set of picture arrays. So far so good however I am trying to get the fadeOut and FadeIn with a small delay from each other but always in the same order. In other words I want to have clips 1 to 7 fadeOut with a small delay of maybe .5 sec. between each and same thing when the next picture fades in.
if it is possible to load a movie clip into a blank movie clip?On my main timeline I have a button (mode_btn) and I want to be able to click it and load another movie clip (mode_options_mc) into a blank movie clip I have (mode_empty_mc). Is this even possible?
I want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
I have a page with 8 photos that are movie clips. I'm attempting code that allows the user to click on each photo/movie clip and this loads a movie clip inside which is a larger version of the photo.
how to do this and then allow the user to click the photo to close?
I realize this is a strange way to organize photos but they laid out over a detailed photo album background.
i wanna change color of mc. I have buttom Test and Parametri. In Test is movie testing.swf in Parametri you can change color of movie clips. in file starttesting is make like this:
in layer1 is mcPlayer. In this mcPlayer are three layers, action, container and buttoms. in action layer is this code:
How can I change color of mcOksid(testing.fla), but color will be change when i push a upload buttom? WHen i push reset buttom, the color will come back to default.
Second problem, in testing.fla in layer OKSID, i have mcOksid and mcOksid2. Know if i change color of mcOksid to blue, mcOksid2 has to be blue too.
What I'd like to do is have a checkbox, that when it is checked it loads a movie into an empty movie clip, and when it is unchecked, it loads a different movie into the empty movie clip.Also if possible I'd like to find a way to output to a variable whether the same checkbox is checked or not. And send the info from the variable in an email.
trouble getting a movie to load in an empty movie clip. I am hoping I'm missing something simple.I have a button with the instance name SPS_btn on a layer I've called buttons.Below the button layer i've got a layer called movie clips that contains an emptymovie clip called mainStage_mc.I want to load a .swf into into mainStage_mc. both the buttons and their actions occur on the first frame.I have used this code but it not working.
on (release) {loadMovie (new002.swf, mainStage_mc);
I just get a blue area but the movie does not load. I can run the movie fun locally by clicking on new002.swf file.i also tried the behaviors panel, which produces this code but it also doesn't work:
on (release) {loadMovie ("new002.swf",mainStage_mc); //load Movie Behavior if(this.mainStage_mc == Number(this.mainStage_mc)){[code]........
for some reason it will load if i use loadMovieNum () but the registration point is in the top right corner and i don't want that.What's the best way to debug this?When i use test movie the output window dosen't show an error but something's wrong.how can I test if is a path problem? A problem with the loaded movie or a problem with something else? the movie new002.swf is 393KB. I tired making a smaller 2kbmovie using the code above and it wouldn't load either.
I have a site with a container clip which all other content loads into. When one movie loads, it has a button that I'd like to be able to click to go to another page in the site (ie. unload it's parent movie and load another swf into the same container clip.
How can I address the parent container clip and tell it to unload this movie and load another swf into it?
Just upgraded to CS4/AS3, and I can't figure out how to load one .swf after another, llowing each to be run once, and only once. I don't think I should have to alter the target movies, as I should be ale to tell when the laoded movie is at it's last frame.So I have an string[] that holds the filenames of the target swfs to load. In effect:
movieURL = "path/to/movie.swf"; mcHolder.loadMovie(movieURL, "mcHolder") // anchor Movie in Library while (mcHolder._currentFrame < mcHolder._totalFrames) {
I need a basic tutorial for loading a movie clip. I have my button, I have my movie, all I need is the right AS for the job. [code]...
But the movie clip is showing off the screen. The other thing is I will have more than one movie/button...I'm looking at about 13 buttons with respective movies.
I have a swf on my home page that needs a preloader (www.brianmcurran.com). I plan to make a container swf to hold my original swf and also the actionscript for a preloader. My problem is getting the origianl swf into my container swf. Does anyone have the actionscript 3.0 to load a swf into a movie clip?
I've been having some issues with loading an swf into a movie clip. The code I'm using is this on(release){contentbox.loadMovie("contact.swf",0);}It works fine in terms of loading, but it loads the swf so that the top left corner is in the center of the content box, pushing the bottom and right part of the content way off screen.
I am trying to load an external swf into a movie clip.Within my index.swf file I have a button that when released loads another swf into a movie clip within the index.swf. I have done this before and have no idea why it is not working. When I publish the movie I get no error reports.Here is the script:
