Professional :: Changing A Graphic To A Movieclip Kills Swf?
Dec 14, 2010
I have a graphic sitting on my stage that I want to convert to a movieclip so I can change it's alpha with as3. If I change it from a graphic to a movieclip my swf stops working. I have a bunch of code which constructs a dynamic menu and it stops working when the graphic is changed to a movieclip. They aren't related in any way so why would this happen? As a graphic it doesn't have an intance name and nothing is happening to it. It's not animated or anything. It's just sitting on the stage.

The update to Flash 10.1 kills my cross-domain. Formerly, my file looked like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"><cross-domain-policy>[code]......
I updated to this based on what I read on this site:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM [code].....
We are using SAP Business Objects Xcelsius, which creates the .swf file that users are using to access our environment. So, I do not have any control over the code base itself.

(without using a button)I have a square MC with a dummy graphic. I want that MC to display (based on conditions, so with AS3) a different graphic. Something like myMC.picture=otherMc.picture

I am new to Flash and Actionscript and am currently working on some code pulled from another post to try and learn from what others are doing or have done. I have created a star movieclip and am attempting to move it randomly accross the stage in a relatively slow speed. When I run it, it moves randomly but way too fast. I have spent the last 6 hours playing with the code, researching help files and also looking up other discussions but nothing seems to be helping. Here is what I have so far. My apologies if the code looks like a hack. This is being done in CS4 if that matters at all. If anyone could shed some more light on how to handle controlling the speed or rate of random movement with some insight

I have a scrollbar that I grabbed off a resources site. (code below)I want it so that whenever I put the cursor on the scollbar to move it that the graphical information under the scrollbar comes on (either reveal or opacity to 100%). At the moment the little thumbnails under the scrollbar are on all the time and area bit of a distraction (they are meant to assist in the use of the scrollbar by minimising searching behaviour).[code]

I am building an RPG type game in flash and have hit upon my first problem.I have created a character out of various different body parts (upper arm, lower arm, hand, head, etc..) I would like to make it possible to change the look of each of these body parts (different types of armor / clothing) whilst maintaining the whole body animations.I'm becoming confused about how many things are inside each other! Rather than recreate a whole new set of animations for every conceivable combination of armor and clothing it should be possible to simply change one of the graphics within the movieclip that is the character.
So the structure I have thought of is like this:Whole body > Changeable graphic > Base Body Part (bare arm for instance)What is a sensible way to go about doing this? I'd like to have a solution that is easily scalable and won't require notably more work if there are 10 different types of changeable graphic or 1000.I think that I need use the event that triggers the armor / clothing to change for that body part, to run a script that either somehow changes which graphic it is displaying, possibly inside the Base Body Part movieclip.

I have a FLV playing (via FLVPlayback component), and I'd like to have a graphic/movieclip display on top of the video at one of the cue points.
The video is a person speaking, and I'd like to have his name and title fade in when he says it.

I'm trying to add a bitmap to a movie clip in code. However, I'm having trouble getting the bitmap location to go where I want it because it's inside the movieclip and it just shows up at 0,0 of the movieclip instead of the coordinates I want it to be: Here's some of code so you can see what I mean:
imageBitmapData3 = new Lander(63, 53);
_player = new Bitmap(imageBitmapData3);
_gameLevel.addChild(_player);_player.x = 145;_player.y = 90;
-Instead of showing up at 145, 90 It just shows up at the movieclip, _gamelevel, 0,0.
how I could get it to do what I want it to do? I want to add it inside the mc because I need everything to move with the _gameLevel background when I move it.

is there any way to add an overlay image dynamically over a MovieClip? Sort of like a watermark... except that I'm not trying to make a watermark.Let me explain: I'm trying to program a gallery of videos that will be loaded dynamically through XML. Each video will come with a JPG of the same size, which will be the poster frame for said video (and will also be loaded via XML). The user will see a scrollable horizontal strip of "videos" (actually the pictures), and when he clicks on one of them, the poster frame will disappear (_visible=false) and the FLV player underneath will start playing the chosen video.
So far so good. I load the pictures via XML and put each of them in a MovieClip. I distribute the MovieClips in an horizontal strip. I add to each of them an event handler so that they start playing the video when pressed. The only thing that I don't know how to do is: how do I add to each of the MovieClips a semitransparent "Play" button? They are generated dynamically, and I don't know how many of them (i.e. how many videos) will be there beforehand, so I can't simply add them in a layer on the Stage;

the only thing I found in the documentation was loadBitMapdata and methods of that type. Not sure if that's what I want.
In particular, I have an existing movieclip that is linked in my library. It has a graphic, a timeline, etc. However, I want to dynamically change it to another graphic and timeline.
Do i have to create a new movie clip with the new graphic and timeline? But I still want to keep all the attributes of my original movieclip, I just want the new graphic and timeline.

the mouse_over state im doing tweens the alpha of a button to reveal more buttons underneath.The only problem with tweening the alpha of a MC is that I cant click on the buttons underneath, only a graphic. However, I cant figure a way of just using a graphic symbol instead of a movieclip.And I really dont feel like using more than one frame, that is accepting defeat in my oppinion. ha

Is there anything a graphic symbol can do, that a movie clip can't? So many tutorials I look at, use Movie Clips for so many things, including one frame objects, and buttons etc...So, is there any benefit to ever using a graphic symbol over a movie clip?

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right area or even able to describe clearly what I'm trying to accomplish.I want to create a graphic (as an example, let's say a Christmas tree) where stars can be purchased as a donation via PayPal to light up the tree. Once the donation is made, PayPal needs to return to the Flash graphic with the new star and message attached to it I'd like to do this for various holidays (Valentines, Easter, etc.)

I imported a swf created in After Effects to Flash CS3 to make it interactive. Flash broke the "swf" movie into a number of keyframes (apprx 65 keyframes) which when previewed, plays all the keyframes one by one. I want it to stop at first keyframe and have a button over there, which when clicked will let the next 30 keyframes run without stopping. Then stop at the 30th keyframe which will have another button to be clicked to proceed to the the next 34 keyframes without stop. I have been trying the stop(), and gotoAndPlay nextFrame, but it stops at the next frame. One more thing, do I need to convert all the imported keyframes to graphic or movieclip ?

I have an image gallery which loads a detail image, then draws a line next to the image on one side based on image dimensions. Clicking on the image returns one back to the main image thumbnail list, then clicking a thumb loads another image into detail holder. Everything works fine with it, except that the lines, rather than disappearing upon detail image unload, accumulate. Is there a way to clear the contents of the lineDrawing MovieClip without removing it from the stage, so that I can draw a new line in it? I've tried removeChild on the MovieClip, but then the lines disappear entirely, same with placing lineDrawing.clear() at the top of the setupDetail function.
var detailImage:Loader = new Loader();
var lineDrawing:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
setupDetail();
function setupDetail():void {

I have searched several threads, and no answer has been found to apply a bitmap smoothing to an image already inserted inside a movie clip on stage (not dynamically loaded). Any suggestions on what to do to apply smoothing to an image inside a clip? Trying to come up with an answer as I am getting a funny fuzz around a logo that I'd like to see disappear. It appears clean and crisp within the png file, but not in the compiled swf.

Im just learning classes and objects.... and read that a movie clip is (or has) a movie clip class... So I'd figure that buttons and graphic symbols also are classes? If yes, why are they called 'symbols' instead of 'classes' by Flash dialog?

I'm working on some fairly detailed character animations, and accordingly have made most of the characters parts into graphic symbols. For instance, his hand is a graphic symbol which has multiple frames for each perspective or pose of the fingers, and I set the symbol to the proper frame in the characters main timeline. I've been having issues, however, when tweening these symbols. I noticed this first when I was working on a jump animation and I just wanted the hand, once its pose is in a state which will be used for the majority of its frames, to tween up and rotate with the arm and body. When I create this tween, however, it forces all other frames of that graphic symbol to be set to that same frame. The start and end frames of the tween are set to the same first frame, and even after trying to manually fix the subsequent frames of the symbol, it wont let me. I've triple checked all my symbol names, frame numbers and settings, and anything else I can think of and everything is in place, so I really have no clue why this is happening
