I have built a movie clip on my main flash file that I am loading separate swfs into. On the separate swfs I have a close button, but do not know what action script to attach to it to make the movie clip go away? I want these to go away every time you hit the close button on the separate Flash swfs loading into the main movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI am building a page with multiple clips. I have created script to open each of the clips. I have placed a button on one of the clips with the flollowing script
close_coltxt_btn.onRelease= function(){
gotoAndPlay("1");
}
stop();
this executes the action correctly however it "1" being scene 1 already has the clip open so aftre it closes the clip it reopens the clip. I have a demo build at [URL] go to belmacil products/eyelash and brow tints the page mas multiple buttons down the right side. I have only applied this script to the "1 Black" movie clip.
On my website I have a media page that opens different videos that are linked to you tube. I use an empty movie clip to load the movie onto the swf. My question is what code do I need to add to unload the video i added to empty movie clip and add another. If i try to just click the other button for another movie while the first one is playing you hear both movies running which is no good!Here is the code I am using to load the video into the empty mc

How do I stop a Flash SWF movie when the playhead is at the end and then have the new window that presents the movie close automatically. However, the most important feature would be to stop the movie to keep it from continuously looping.
View 2 RepliesI have a .swf that loads into a movie clip in a Flash website. The .swf has all necessary stops to play once and stop once loaded. When tested outside of the movie clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I make this stop looping? (This only happenes to .swf that were made in CS4, doesn't happen with older .swfs that were made in Macromedia)

I've been trying to load a movie clip from a movie clip that has been loaded. I am trying to provide a simple means to change the look / feel of the flash application by placing the graphics and controls into a second swf. Each different screen is represented by a different movie clip that is in the second swf. So I've got app.swf loading ui.swf. I want to load screen1_mc from ui.swf.
The app.swf is loaded by a master swf. There may be multiple copies of the app.swf that can be loaded by the master.swf and each app.swf could be configured differently. For each "unique" app.swf it is stored under a unique folder that is not known to me in advance. Since I don't know the unique folder in advance, I can't use import / export for runtime sharing. Is there any way to load the movie clips from the loaded movie clip? (Basically, I want to treat the ui.swf as an extension to the library.)
I'm working on a flash site and I'm having some trouble with the programming for it. I'm not so great at action script, so I'm hoping that my troubles are caused by my own stupidity and that some cool smart person will have an answer for me.
So, I have a main menu flash file that functions like the one in this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm I set it to load various swf files and it's works just fine. What I want to do is have it load a swf that functions exactly the same (buttons that load external clips with transitions) as the main swf- this is a sub page menu. So, in theory, the sub menu page should load the final content, and three swfs would be seen stacked ontop of each other.
I changed the instance names in the sub menu file to be different than that in the main menu file. This fixed the original problem of it loading the content clip into the clip that the sub menu should stay in. Now, It loads the sub menu just fine, but then it gets stuck and never loads the content. The sub menu buttons will not function at all. Independent of the main menu, the sub menu file works perfectly What can I do??? Does it have anything to do with the "_root"? I never understood the concept, so I'm having trouble with it.
I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.
View 2 RepliesI created a movie clip which plays ok. But when it ends there is a slight jump, if you will, when it goes back to frame 1 to begin playing again. Does anyone know how to make the transition unnoticeable from the last frame of a movie clip to the first frame of a movie clip?
View 4 RepliesCS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!
So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.
I am making a web site in flash in which I have multiple movie clips.I have mc_buttonMenu on the main timeline.Inside of mc_buttonMenu, I have 3 buttons that are all button symbols.From the main timeline, I have a movie clip called mc_allPages.In this movie clip, I have a few layers.I have the content layer.This layer controls how my pages display.I have another layer called labels.I labeled frames 1 to 10 as 'home' and layers 11 to 20 as 'contactUs'.I have another layer in mc_allPages called actions.I put a stop(); on frame 10 and frame 20 on this layer.I want to be able to control the movie clip mc_allPages from within the movie clip mc_buttonMenu.I put some action script in various places, but it never worked.I tried this action script:
_root.btn_home.onPress()
{
Gotoandplay("home");[code]...........
I tried placing that code on the main timeline, inside mc_allPages, inside mc_buttonMenu and split up into both buttons appropriately for btn_home and btn_contactUs.Sometimes the animation would stop on frame 10 and sometimes it would just play through to frame 20 and ignore the stop(); I put on frame 10 inside the mc_allPages movie clip.However, whenever I pressed the button ( btn_contactUs ), it never went to the frame labeled "contactUs" in the allPages movie clip.
I'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.
So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

I have a flash movie with a button (referencesBut_bt) that, when clicked, loads a movieClip onto the stage. What I'd like to do is have a button inside the just loaded movieClip that unloads itself when clicked (removeChild). I think the problem I'm having is in targeting the loaded clip. Does anyone know how I would tell a movieClip to remove itself from the stage when a button is clicked from within the same movieClip? The code i have is below:

Using AS3, and without modifying the published HTML file, I want close the browser window (IE/Firefox) in which my SWF is playing on click of a button. This is not a pop-up window that the SWF is running in. It is the main browser window.
Here's my code:
btn_closeBrowser.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, close_Browser);
function close_Browser(event:MouseEvent):void{
var jscommand:String = "window.close();";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
navigateToURL(req, "_self");}
Nothing happens when I click on btn_closeBrowser in IE or Firefox.
I have code that loads an external .swf files into my main.swf. Each of the external .swf files has a close out button. When that button is clicked, it calls a function that supplies close out animations for the movie clips for any .swf that is loaded. All code is in main.swf. There is no code in the external.swf(s)
Each external .swf has it's own set of movie clips. The "closeCurrentSWF" function has animations for movie clips that are within .swf files that may not even be loaded, yet I get NO errors when this function is called...which is great!! I'm so stoked this works, why flash isn't throwing me an error...
Code:
//Load External SWF//
var _swfContainer:Loader = new Loader()
_swfContainer.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishedLoading);

I'm looking for this actionscript that can close an already loaded external swf movie after it reaches at its last frame. Ok, what I meant is, I have a virtual tour on a site. The main/root file main.swf has some spots where you can click to load external swfs and each one of these external swfs plays video message. Now, my client wants me to make the external video message to be disappeared automatically when it reaches last frame (and, it should show the main scene then..)...
