I have a movie, within this movie I have a container which loads an external swf, the problem I have is that when this movie is viewed within a browser, if the browser is resized then the external swf that loads into the contanier resizes, going smaller or larger.How do I constrain a particular container to stay the same size, 100%?This is the script I have that loads the external swf, is there a way to constrain container?
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip (pano_mc) that I can click and drag left and right. When I drag it to the right, it stops dragging when the left edge of the clip reaches the left edge of the stage. This is great!
When I drag the image to the left, the right side edge if the clip does not stop at the right edge of the stage, but continues to click and drag until it reaches the left edge of the stage.
I need the left edge of the clip to stop at the left edge of the stage and the right edge of the clip to stop at the right edge of the stage.
Here is the code I have so far
The pano_mc is registered to the top right corner and is 7024px in length. I know it is a bit large. The axis_mc is anchored to the upper left.

I'm loading movies into a container loader BUT when I load in one of my games it runs real slow. Is it because I should have removed other movies first ie: They seem to be all in there and stacked on top of each other.
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event;
MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.startLoad);function startLoad(e:MouseEvent){ var mLoader:Loader = new Loader()

I have a SWF that uses a XML to load other swfs and put them together.
I try to load my main SWF called "preview" in a movie container in a .fla
But when I publish my "index", the movie container only loads PREVIEW without the content.
My AS for preview is:
stop();

how to load an external swf into an empty container using loadMovie() - from an XML menu
or, if that is not possible, than to target a specific frame to start playing instead.
So the question is - can I use loadMovie(); to load movie clip in a container from library not external swf? If I can, how should I do it, but if not - how can I still load it then?

I'm creating a site with buttons (movie buttons) targeting a container clip on the root which targets transitions in external swfs. I'm having trouble with my code in targeting the container.

I can use movie buttons for this because they just look better.
i have following problem i load swf movie into mc "container" on main movie. i made rectangle, changed into mc, gave it instance name "block"

In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%">
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
<s:VGroup id="main_container" horizontalAlign="left" paddingBottom="10" paddingTop="10"
verticalAlign="top" width="100%">

View 1 Repliesi'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame.
as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.

I have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.

All of my button actions look like:
home_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("images/6661_home.swf", _root.dropzone);
}
I have read numerous threads but for some reason can't find a fix for this.

In the galleryMC(from library), Ive created a close button to unload it from the container1. It works fine from my production.swf file, but when it loads to the main page it doesn't unload. This is the ActionScript that I have to unload the Movie Clip.

View 5 RepliesI load swf files continuously, but if one of the swfs has some defective code such as Mouse.hide() the mouse disappears when the swf is loaded. I want to constrain such malicious code in loaded swfs. There is also another problem related to containing loaded or loading swfs. When I load a swf which loads another swf to operate, It never completes loading (Event.Complete of contentLoaderInfo) because it needs another swf to load. However, the swf should be loaded before it runs. Since loaded swf is as-2, loader does not give any error. I am also suspicious whether or not it will give error if it is as-3.

I have to place a flash movie into an existing layout. It is replacing placeholder image of the same size. The DIV holding the image has a negative top margin. When the flash movie is placed in the same spot there is a gap at the top of the DIV equal to the amount of negative margin. I cannot seem to get the movie to move to the top of the DIV (FF3).

I need to add 5 cubes made from container movie clips to the stage. So far I have added the container movie clips to the stage, given them instance names and then referenced them in code from there. e.g.
ActionScript Code:
cubes.cubef(cube0);
cubes.cubef(cube1);
[code]....
(cubes.cubef is the function for creating the cube from the container movie clip)So I was wandering if I could dynamically and add the clips to the stage from the library by just using code. I have tried this so far:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
var cub:MovieClip = new cube_mc;
[code]....
From that code, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at cubes$/traverseParents()
at cubes$/cubef()
at rota_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
EDIT: I have solved this. I used an array for storing the instances then refer to it.
ActionScript Code:
var cubeArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
