ActionScript 1/2 :: Photo Gallery - Create An Empty Movie Clip Holder That Would Reside On The Main Timeline?
Mar 7, 2011I am using CS4 and ActionScript 2.0.I am trying to create a photo gallery.I have created 4 different movie clip buttons that reside on the content layer.Each button consists of one image.When the movie clip button is pressed, I want the full size image to appear on the stage next to the buttons.You can see the buttons in the image below.I am trying to create an empty movie clip holder that would reside on the main timeline while the buttons reside on the content layer.I need to get the images to load into the empty movie clip and then unload when the next button is selected?I can't seem to get the buttons to "talk" to the empty movie clip holder.I did manage to create code for an empty movie clip holder within each button, but then I end up with all four images on top of each other.

Nov 28, 2010I would like to automatically load an external swf inside an existing empty mc (or a new one) and load/unload different external swf on several button click functions. I've been trying so many different methods until its probably loaded with irrelevant functions!

myLoader.x=477;
myLoader.y=0;
/* Click to Load/Unload SWF or Image from a URL.
Clicking on the symbol instance loads and displays the specified SWF or image URL. Clicking on the symbol instance a second time unloads the SWF or image.
Instructions:
1. Replace "[URL]" below with the desired URL address of the SWF or image. Keep the quotation marks ("").
2. Files from internet domains separate from the domain where the calling SWF resides cannot be loaded without special configuration.

Mar 16, 2009I have an issue where I have a movieclip with two frames, both of which have a textfield.
The problem is, when I call gotoAndStop(2) and try assign text to the textField in that second frame I get a null Pointer exception, as if the textfield doesnt exist anymore.
Code:
public function select(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
this.myLetter.text = "X"; //there is a textfield on frame two called myLetter
}
Its simple code but it doesn't seem to be working.

IDE :: Create A Preloader That Plays A Certain Amount Of Frames As It Loads The Rest Of The Frames
Nov 16, 2009I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 RepliesScenes - Organize The Timeline And Not Take Up As Many Frames Per Timeline
Dec 5, 2009how many of you use scenes to get your projects done. I've been switching to a different scene for every new angle (I'm making a flash movie, drawing somewhat 3D perspective, and storyboarding it out like a movie.) I find it makes it easier to organize the timeline, and not take up as many frames per timeline. Are there any downfalls to this method? Because I'm early on in the production, and if there's going to be any problems down the road I'd like to know before I get too involved.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Create Empty Clips
Jun 18, 2005I have an Array Object called extData_arr, that contains data read from a database. Using this data, I'd like to populate my subMenu MovieClips appropriately. I can elaborate on the format of this array if required but basically the problem is this. Now this line seems to work and displays correctly as I expect
status.text = status.text + n + " : " + i + "
";//tracing
but for some reason, on the following line where I try to create empty Clips, flash just doesn't recognize the value of i and therefore refuses to create the clips. Does anyone know why?

ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS4] Create Empty Movieclip And SwapDepth
Apr 7, 2009I have a main file running at the bottom (HD video of myself), and several clickable options (for various stuff on my portfolio). To show my digital work, I have a button that takes me to a frame label on _root. and a frame action that tells it to open a movieclip into a containerMC. All this is working perfectly, but it might be needful background info.
This section of my digital portfolio is a mock up of a mac screen desktop (yes I use a mac) / and I want to show my work as "programs". I expect to have 5-10 programs, 2 for now in testing. With no open "programs" at start, but I want the possibility of multiple open "programs", and when you open a new one or click one that already open but in the back, it automatically comes to the foreground (and does not close the ones already open - just like the desktop actually works). Obviously the "programs" have to be draggable too.

GotoAndPlay And Then Skip Frames In Timeline?
Jul 25, 2009I am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.
The following is a scenario, but not script:
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20:
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22.
I am currently doing this in a different way.
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So...
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.
Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?
