I have a master SWF which has a menu and loads other swf's into holders so they can be animated. I have button's in one of the loaded swf's but i am unable to make these buttons alter whats in the main swf. I.e. addEventListener to button and root(but the root doesnt seem to root to the holding swf).
View 2 RepliesI'm having issues posting a dynamic text field to a url. I'm successful with my first textbox 'output.text' but not my second 'text10.text'. I'm pretty sure it's because I have it within a movie clip, but I'm not sure how to go about rooting it within my button release? I've already tried _root & _parent. Action calling xml:
Code:
TL = this;
_xml = new XML();

I'm having an issue where I have a holder swf that loads an other swf. I want to call functions from the other swf in the holder. I'm not as fluent in AS 2.0 doing this and it has to be done in AS 2.0.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a page for viewing JPEGs and SWFs. There will be a holder and underneath this there will be a row of thumbnails. On release of a thumbnail the JPEG or SWF will load into the holder. The files need to be updateable.
View 7 RepliesI searched previous posts last week about this and learned that I can load a movie clip from the library in a blank mc holder similar to how I load an exernal swf. But so far that code is not working for me. I also need a way to close/make invisible the clip on user clicking an X. I have a page with about 6 key words over which I will place invisible buttons. First button instance is named compworkBtn. I have a blank mc on the stage, name of mcLoadertop. My mc I want to play is in the library and named compworkMC. I read that I need to set the properties to export and I have done this (picture attached for compworkMC).
[Code]....
Then I want the user to click on the X or close button and it goes away. I thought the easiest thing for this work be to program the Close button itself to drive the MC to a frame that had no content. It will still be there, of course, but not be visible. Then the user would click on the next key word and the next MC will load. Not sure that is a good solution though, because they will both still be there. So, I'd like a suggestion for another solution to unload the first mc and load the second one. I have done a similar thing with external swfs, but I will need a close button instance for each of the unloads, right?
I am trying to create a flash visual showing a time series of data on a world map. I have created a flash file which 1) creates proportional circles for each country of interest (in this case 6 countries) and 2) has a timeline so that the circles change through time. I have successfully gotten the timeline to work with the proportional circles, however the circles to not clear out before displaying the new circles when adjusting the timeline. I am not able to figure out how to properly clear out the circles. I have tried using the holder.removeChild(c) command before I create my new circles, but get an error which states 'Parameter child must be non-null'.
ActionScript Code:
import XMLLoader;

i am looking to have a number a small thumbnail pictures on a page, and with either a roll over of the mouse or a click i would like them to larger on the screen.
i am guessing i need to have a holder to load them in but i dont know the script i need to load a picture from the library this what i have so far but i just dont know the code to load images to a holder
function image_click (mye:MouseEvent):void{
}
image_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,image_click);
What I've got is a holder swf that loads in a separate swf. Within this loaded swf there is a button, that when pressed, removes itself (as in, the swf the button is placed within is removed) from the holder swf and loads in a new swf.
This seems incredibly complicated to achieve, at least I think it is
What I've got so far is this, the holder swf...

how to center an image that is smaller than its attachMovie parent. Basically I have a blank slide (a 94 x 94 square) that I load dynamically image thumbnails into. Some of them may be 92 wide and others 92 tall but never anymore than that. The problem I have is that all images loaded are aligned to the top of the mc they replace and if a thumbnail is 92 wide by 20 tall than theres alot of space underneath it - i need to center (both vertically and horizontally) the loaded data and I have come up stumped.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on the Kirupa photo gallery and that works fine. Now I want to change how the thumbnails are loaded in. I would like them to be loaded in a holder (now in an emptyMC) so that I can put a mask/ border on it.
This is the thumbnail function:
Code:
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k,thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();

i'd like to clean the holder every time a new thumbnail is clicked.
I'm trying to animate the list of thumbnails I have imported from an XML doc in my movie. In as2 I had something like:
[Code]...
So I've decided the best way to animate them in a staggered fashion is to create a "clipArray:Array" and then push in one thumbnail at a time. Then animate the clips using Tweenlite's TweenGroup. However, I don't know what would make the most sense as I'm new to the display model. Should I try to push in movie clips or holders? I'm not sure would make more sense down the line with the new format in AS3.
I am using an array to load images into a holder_mc on my flash site.Is there a way to change the registration point at which the image loads?
View 3 RepliesI have a set up whereby I have a shell AS3 swf which loads in an as2 swf to a movieclip. The two swf's don't need to communicate with each other. This works fine, and the AS2 swf contains its own code for the user to interact with it. However, I'm using a simple setInterval in the AS2 swf to fire a few animations in sequence if the user doesn't interact with it for a few seconds. This works fine when I publish the AS2 swf on its own, but won't work when its loaded into the AS3 swf.
View 0 Repliesnote I have to change some file names and urls for company privacy.I am working on an online banner ad which tight size requirements. In order to stay under the file size, I want to load an external swf housed on our server into an empty movie clip on a button press. I have this working with the following code on a button:
on (release) {
loader_mc.loadMovie("location where swf file is housed");
}
I then want to unload this movie if a different button is pressed. However I am receiving the following error.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file: XXXXXXXX halted - not permitted from "location where swf file is housed"
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
How can I unload this external swf file from my move? Again the external swf file is housed on our sever and the main swf file will be housed with the place we are advertising.
Trying to load a simple swf movie into my mc holder.When I preview the page on my desktop the external files loads. On the FTP server it doesn't. Why?

It works but again, only offline.targetMc.loadMovie("floorplans/301.swf");

View 1 RepliesI am doing a simple loadmovie, bringing an external swf into a holder clip that is empty.
here is my code. I have it placed on frame one INSIDE the holder clip:
PHP Code:
_root.pages.weddingholder.loadMovie("wedding_section.swf",this);
The external movie loads, but the issue is HOW it loads. The swf is 643x394 and looks fantastic by itself. When it is loaded into the holder clip though, it scales it and makes it much taller and wider than the actual external SWf is, and is messing the way it looks up.
I'm trying to load a bitmap using this: [URL]. It seems like the preload is working fine. I'm just having trouble loading the bitmap from here. it works without the preloader but I can't figure out what's not making it load when it's done.
Code:
function loadTransBitmap(id){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_img", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
mcl.addListener(preload);
[Code] .....
I noticed after the load is complete, I traced the width for targetMC, which is where the image should be preloaded..and it comes up as 0. So it seems like there's nothing in the holder_img container. But it preloads something so I don't know what the problem is.
Also: 'id' from the function is just the image (images/1.jpg)
