Base mc is my empty container movieclip. Basically I have a gallery with thumbnails that load a movie with the appropriate gallery content. The issue is, these movies load on top of the thumbnails movieclip, showing overlap. I could just cover the overlap but I can still click on the buttons in the background. How can I make it so the new movies are higher level or depth than the base movie clip?
I'm trying to load some XML into flash to populate some dynamic text fields. The problem I have is that some of the xml tags seem to be ignored by flash.Here's the XML I'm loading:

Is there a way to load ID3 tags in AS3 without loading sound?
View 3 RepliesI find it hard to think of a way to load a specific part of my XML when I press a specific button. I'll try to explain this as best as I can:
I am working on an App in which you can chose a character from a big list. When you press lets say character A you get a popup with info about character A. There is a button in here that will popup the art related to this specific character and this art will be added in unique movieclips so I can use each movieClip in a for loop to create an infinite scroll. Now the problem is there are 80+ different characters (and increasing every 2 weeks) and each character has an average of 4 arts, so giving them unique classes and solving the infinite scroll this way would generate A LOT of code. So I started thinking lets use XML. how to load just or show just the images related to the character you pressed.
I was thinking dividing the XML up like this:
PHP Code:
//XML
<CHARACTERS>
<CHARACTER A="URL" />
[Code]....
But how can I determine, at the specific press of a button, to load the unique part of this XML?
Wow that was a lot of text I hope I kinda made myself clear, and if I didn't I'll add some drawings to try to be more clear

I have HTML file, I changed its extension to .XML.I'd like to convert HTML tags to valid XML document using AS3.
View 6 RepliesCan someone point me in a direction for using HTML in as3? I have a project in which I want to load HTML content so that others in the office can author in HTML since they are very familiar with it. It would have to recognize many of the most common HTML tags. Is this easily done or would I need some sort of add-on?

View 2 RepliesI have a fla file that loads a slide show from an XML file. The xml file contains info about each slide. There's over a 100 slides so the loading takes some time. However I'm not getting actual load progress. It traces nothing until after the load is complete and then it shows the progress that it should have traced one by one, however it traced them all at once on the complete. Because it's not firing the onProgress correctly my preloader is rendered useless. Am I doing something wrong on is this a bug in Flash?

I have created this contact form and it works when i hit the submit button but for some reason when I load the page for the first time I get some junk that appears into the box.
Is there anyway to have it not show anything in the box? In edit mode I dont have anything in the text boxes, but when the the flash loads it puts that junk in there.
I was wondering if flash can load html document, the way browser displays it.

I am trying to make a website using flash, and as I dive deeper on this project i realize that it is far more complex than I thought.I came across with this problem:In my webpage, i reserved a big space for content, which would include text and images (a space for news). In that space, flash would read, and show, a word file (for example), thus making it possible to update the content of the website without changing the SWF file, but changing only the external word document.

The added movie clip is not displaying at all? I've ported the code over to frame 1 of the timeline and it is not showing up either.

I'm creating some buttons and I want to show an animation every time a person clicks on it. The problem is I have five buttons and need to remove that animation before the new animation starts.
Let me explain this:
1. Press button 001
2. Button 001 animation starts and stops at the last frame.
3. Press button 002
4. Button 001 animation returns to frame 1.
5. Button 002 animation starts and stops at the last frame.
I'm using vars but my code is not working. Here's the AS for the buttons: (ZonaActiva is the the invisible movie clip that triggers the button animation).
ActionScript Code:
stop();
ZonaActiva.onRollOver = function(){
gotoAndPlay("inicio");

In the stage I have the blood animation movie clip under the buttons. Each one has its own instance name (i.e:mcBlood001, mcBlood002, and so on).

I have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.
how to load a movieclip into a blank movie clip all in the same movie?!
View 4 RepliesI've got 12 MovieClips, which all have specific functions in the movie. Those MC's will appear and dissappear after a few seconds. But what I want is, that those MC's have to appear at random .If all 12 MC's have appeared, the appearance has to be stopped. So for example MovieClip number 4 has to appear just once. So 12 MC's will appear, but everytime when the movie starts, the appearance has an other sequence.What is written above I want to place in an other MC. So there is one MC which 'load' 12 MC's within it
View 2 Repliesfirst I had:
maskedImg = getChildByName("current") as MovieClip;
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and everything worked properly. Then I removed the movieclip from the scene, exported it to Actionscript, and changed the code to
maskedImg = new mymovieclip();
addChild(maskedImg);
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and now I don't see anything on the scene. If I comment out the line assigning the mask I can see the movieclip although. The mask is created dynamically in both cases.
I'd like to load text into my Flash movie to allow a simple 'Noticeboard' inside the flash movie. I've got it working with loadVariablesNum no probs. The trouble is I load the noticeboard into another movieclip. When this happens the text doesnt load even if I declare the variables, do _root etc.
