For the scenario lets consider Car to be the highest SWF(stage) inside I load tyres. Inside tires I have rims. Now if the rims need to be positioned relative to the stage (car body) how can I do that? Inside rims if I write stage and load it results in an error.
View 2 Replies- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.
An external swf is loaded using this code...

The problem is that even though this external movie covers the whole stage, My mouse can still "see" buttons that are on the stage, and I can click them. I don't want to be able to click the buttons through my external movie.
I'm making a mockup for a client and I need to Load the .swf with the exact stage size so the graphic elements do not float outside the loaded movies stage area. [URL]Basic load code I'm using...
Actionscript Code:
import flash.display.*;var adLoader1:Loader = new Loader();adLoader1.load(new URLRequest("100828_budlight_texas_fight_728x90_jn.swf"));adLoader1.x = 313;adLoader1.y = 162;addChild(adLoader1);var adLoader3:Loader = new Loader();adLoader3.load(new URLRequest("100828_budlight_texas_fight_300x615_jn.swf"));adLoader3.x = 738;adLoader3.y = 0;addChild(adLoader3);
I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

I'm still pretty new to XML and Loader's. So I tried making a preloader by first catching the URL of the movie that needs to be loaded from a swf, and then loading that swf. [code]...
View 2 RepliesI was unable to solve it, so I bought a module from the net that is AS3, and now guess what, the module is build around the stage-object (enterframe events, framerate,...). that's all fine when it is ran as standalone, but as loaded swf (into as3site) flash says the stage is NULL ??! How could i work around that, or I need to set it's stage to something, OR I need to attach enterframe-events to something else (but what then)?
View 2 Replieson my root i have an external swf being loaded into the stage. when you refresh, a random swf will be loaded again, etc., etc., now wut i want to be able to do is have a mask on my root that will mask the external swfs. so 2 questions. 1- making a mask, is it better to use duplicate movieclip or animate everything (ultimately im going to have shapes form the image) 2- how do i go about scripting
im not asking for people to just give me the answer, but point me into the right direction so i can study it.
Everything appears to work correctly, my images are loaded and land on the stage where I want them, but I can't drag them. It seems like the event listener (that i've highlighted) isn't being applied. As a side note, I've done this same thing with loading items from the library, and it works. I copied a lot of the the code from my test project to this one and when I load the bitmaps instead of pulling them from the library, it breaks.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class Main extends MovieClip {

I have a parent swf that loads another swf (it's for a client). The parent swf 's stage dimensions don't match the child's. How can the child set the stage dimensions?
I've tried this after the child was loaded, but it's not working:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.stageWidth = 700;
stageHeight = 600;
I can not figure out a proper coding to remove a loded SWF from the stage.Hre is my set up.I have a layout segmented into labeled section. In the section labeled "products" I have a layout consisting of product images acting as buttons which bring a user to another labeled section "prdctsPopUps"In the "prdctsPopUps" section I have placed an instance of LoaderMax placed into an mc container. Placing LoaderMax into an mc container automatically resolved an issue of clearing loaded SWFs from stage when I come back to "products" section.I specified the variable in the "products" section with the following set up:
var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf ";

Myapp loads an external swf and adds it to MovieClip.External swf movie has elements that are placed outside the stage (they go on the stage during swf playing). But after loading that elements are visible in the main MovieClip.In other words, it looks like the whole space outside the stage is visible as well as the stage.How to hide elements outside the stage of loaded swf?
View 1 RepliesI tried trial and error by tracing strings so I could understand the program flow of actionscript(or any similar language in general) but to no avail; I couldn't understand it at this point or maybe it because I didn't eat my breakfast. Please explain to me why the trace statements showed in the output first?
Here's the code of the first Frame
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
trace("I'm in line 3!");
[code]....
What I'm trying to do is to trigger an event when the stage is loaded; It generates some URL of images and inject them into an array then trace it back.It is very crucial for me to understand the flow, I don't want to move forward without understanding this.
If I have a swf that's being loaded into other peoples' swfs (which I have no control over) is there any way I can get properties from the stage (such as height, width, fullScreenHeight, etc.) or does this have to be exposed by the loading swf?
View 1 RepliesThe old loaded swf issue. How can I keep the dimensions of the loaded SWF to that of its FLA, and not to the new stage where it is loading? I know there is only one stage, so i just have to hard-code this into the loaded SWF right?

I have a swf that I'm compiling for flash player 9. There's a few text fields on it that are selectable. When the page first loads, I want the first field to already be highlighted and ready for input.I've added this in the main function, and it works when I run the debugger or load it on my windows machine:[code]However, when I run the same swf on my linux machine the first field doesn't "highlight" until I click somewhere on the screen. Must be a linux thing.What's an alternate method to trigger an event when the stage has finished loading that I can try?

In the past, using Flash CS3 when I needed to remove timers or event listeners from a swf that had been loaded into a parent swf I'd use this inside the loaded swf:
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, deactivate, false, 0, true);
function deactivate(e:Event):void
{
[code]....
Now that I've upgraded to CS5 and am outputting to Flash Player 10 this no longer seems to work. The event fires right away. Does anyone know why this might be and if there's an alternative that I can use?I tried the unloadAndStop() method in the parent swf but I'm trying to remove some TweenMax delay timers and it doesn't seem to be working.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to target a .swf that I loaded into a movie clip (mc_container) but it seems like I'm missing something. Can you take a look and see where I went wrong?
Code:
mc_container.loadMovie("mc_photoSwap.swf");
//homepage Animation Swap Images
function photoSwapAni(){
switch(random(3)){

Also I see I'm going to have an issue with the random part because it could call the same animation twice or more times in a row. Should I ad some sort of if statement or is there a better way to do this random part of the code?
how to dectect if all the desired movieclips have been loaded onto the stage.
For example I have externally loaded 6 movieclips onto the stage as a result of a click action. What I want to do is when all 6 movieclips have been loaded onto the stage I want to the then load a movieclip that says, "Congratulations, you have completed the course." But I don't know how to detect if all 6 movieclips have been loaded or not.
I have instances of items on the stage, on various labelled frames. I have an actionscript class that uses gotoAndStop('framelabel') to move forwards and back. When using the IDE this works perfectly.
However, when I view the swf on its own, or in a HTML page, I get the error:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
If I use a timer to create a delay between gotoAndStop and trying to reference the items it also works fine. So it seems that when using gotoAndStop, the actionscript is trying to access the items on stage before they have been added to the display list.
Is there a way to force Flash to load the display list of the frame it's stopped at before trying to access those items? Surely it should load the stage instances before running the actionscript?
Below is an example of the script
Code:
private function goThree(e:MouseEvent = void):void {
Main.root.gotoAndStop('Three');
var btnMinus:SimpleButton = Main.root.getChildByName('btnMinusThree') as

I am loading an SWF created in Flash CS4, using the 3d translation tool.The SWF is being loaded into an application being build in as3 in flex builder 3.I can manage to load the movie however the stage has disappeared. All of the objects that exceed the boundaries of the (banner) remain visible instead of being cropped by the stageI attempted to mask the swf before publishing which did not work, and I attempted to programmatically assign a mask once it was imported which also did not work.None of these options threw errors, in most cases they either had no effect whatsoever or the movie simply disappeareI've read numerous posts on this and the answers always seem to be vague.Based on my research I need to access the stage properties of the SWF being loaded, but am unsure how to go about it.Do I need to compile the movie, export a swc and add it to the build path for the project?Do I HAVE to use a document class for the SWF I want to load in order to access it?Do I need to add anything else to the source or build path for the project in Flex Builder?
View 5 RepliesI have a Flex project where I am loading in 3 external swf's. Each of these swf's represent their own projects, each with its own stage. In each of these sub-projects I reference their stage from within, but this does not work once they are loaded into the Main.
I eventually got the contents to display, realizing that stage will return null unless ADDED_TO_STAGE is complete in externally loaded swf's. Unfortunately the way I did it, I am now adding to the Main's stage instead of the swf's stage.
Code:
public static var mainStage:Stage;
public function Program()
{
[Code].....
I assuming that even though i'm in Program.swf, this.stage is still referring to the parent swf?
I'm just starting out with AS3 and this is what I'm trying to do:
1. I have an external .swf banner which is 900x250 pixels
2. I want to load this .swf into my main project, using this code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ptp.swf");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
3. The problem is that the .swf banner that is being loaded has content 'outside the stage' so instead of just showing the 900x250 area I see all the off-stage content as well.
How do I 'mask out' the off-stage content of the loaded .swf so that it will be only the 900x250 that I want?
Code:
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);[code]....
This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'.Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?
