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'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:

I'm currently trying to make an application and am rather new with AS3. What I'm trying to do is hide a few elements (buttons, movieclips, etc) when the flash file/swf file loads, or at least set their visible = false untill another button is clicked to turn it visible = true.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to use load movie to pull in an external Flash file. ALl the external file is, is an image with a dynamic text field. My XML is
<feedbackImage xloc="100" yloc="200">feedbackHolder.swf</feedbackImage>
In Flash right after the XML loads I have
imgfeedback = myFeedback[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
feedbackHolder_mc.loadMovie(imgfeedback);
feedbackHolder_mc._visible=false
When Flash runs, the loaded swf shows up inside the holder and I am able to control the functionality of it....except I can't hide it. the _visible wont work. So I tried feedbackHolder_mc.unLoadMovie, which did hide it, but when I went to load again, the text I was trying to pass into the text box didn't show up. Basically I want this loaded and then hidden until a user gets feedback, at which time the loaded swf becomes visible. Hoping I can use the visible property.
I've found lots of answers on making a button visable after a swf has loaded but not a flv. I am preloading an flv, well 20secs of it, then it starts playing. But I have a 'play' button on the stage and it sits there tempting people to hit it whilst the preloading bar works its magic preloading the flv. I want the button to be visable only after the flv has loaded or at least until it starts to play.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm loading data into a Flash application via XML, which is in the same directory as the swf file on the server, and would like to prevent the XML from being viewed in a browser. I was assuming I could set the XML's permissions to allow Owner and Group read and prevent Others from reading (UNIX 770), but when I do that the XML won't load.
I thought about using an .htaccess file but I don't want a password dialog to pop up when the swf requests the XML. Is there a way of doing this via permissions?
I'm trying to hide the progressBar after the video loaded completely. To do that i use this line:
ActionScript Code:
my_FLVPlybk.bufferingBar._visible = false;
trace(my_FLVPlybk.bufferingBar); // outputs undefined
The problem is i can't reach to the reference of the bufferingBar. So i can't hide it.Is there a way to hide the bufferingBar?
how to hid the preloader is the external swf is already loaded...?

View 1 RepliesI'm making a application where the projector is played fullscreen, and the stage itself is not scalable. But I'd like to make an animation where movieclips come sliding onto the stage (starting outside the stage). But because everything is fullscreen, you can see these MC's outside of the stage, this is not what I want.is there a way to be able to hide everything that is outside of the stage?

I am loading my SWF file onto stage. Later, I want to hide it. For movie clips, I am using the following code:
TAC_mc.visible =false;
But I can't do the same to my SWF file.
Countdown.swf.visible = false;
hey, im trying to remove these movie clips from the stage but its not working. Im spawning the movie clip to the stage every time i slide the timeline_slider, which is instance name for a slider component.I manage to put the spawned movie clip in a array using push, but i don't know how to delete them. Because what i want to happen is that every time i slide the slider i only want a certain amount of movie clips on the stage, but what is happening is they spawn on the stage and stay there.for example. if i slide 1 across it spawns 5 mc if i slide again to the second increment it spawn 4 so total number on movie clips on the stage is 9.i want to only spawn the number of movie clips that increment on the slider is set to. i would also like it to work backwards as well, so if im on the second increment it should have 4 movie clips on the stage,and if i go back to the first increment i should only have 5 movie clips on the stage.Even just hiding the movie clips and unhiding the movie clips is fine as well. this is my code for spawning with the slider this is my arrays of the numbers are now many movie clips i want to spawn to the stage.[code]
View 16 RepliesI'm loading a dozen or so external .swf movies in the 1st frame of my movie in the timeline which are to be initially hidden and shown to display page content when necessary along the rest of the timeline. My problem is that when I load them in, they all automatically display on the 1st frame. Here's is the code I'm using:
Code:
var keyC:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("keyC", getNextHighestDepth());
keyC = loadMovie("data/Key C.swf", keyC);
keyC._visible = false;
[Code].....
It's as if the _visible commands aren't working in the 1st frame but are in the rest of the timeline. Perhaps I need to use an onLoad method to wait until each MC can be manipulated this way?
I am trying to figure out why changes to variables and elements are not reflected when one SWF is loaded into another. main.swf
[Code]...
When the main file is tested the out put of the traces is 50 & 300 which is what the variable and the bg object are set to at the top instead of what they changed to in the productsLoaded(event:Event) function. It's as if the myloader listener is ignoring changes to variables & elements inside of the loaded SWFs listener function. Seems wrong and very confusing.
I'm making a game where you move your avatar around the screen, grab pickups, and avoid enemies. The avatar and enemies are movie clips containing animations. When you collide with an enemy, his movie clip plays a quick animation. All of which is working fine. But what would be the best way to bring in new enemies (which will be different) when a new level starts?
Should I try putting the enemy movie clips inside empty holder movie clips, then swapping them with addChild? So far I haven't been able to get that working. Would swapping external SWFs into empty clips be better (which I'm reluctant to do, since the code that triggers the movie clip animation on collision is working well)? Is there a way to use normal mc's without holder clips, clear them from the stage, and create new ones? Or, is there a way to simply put all the enemy animations on different layers in a movie clip timeline, and switch them by controlling the layer visibility?
I have a small quick question about xml loaded images. Can you append/attach/swap the images to elements in your scene?
I would like to manually animate a movieclip using keyframes and motion tweens. For example, to have a movieclip FLY! accross the screen! lol But I want the image on it to be of one that has been dynamically loaded.
I can't seem to work out how to replace an image on a movieclip from a dynamically loaded image. Is it even possible?
When I have a movie clip on stage and assign the peoperty like:mv_mc._visible = true /falset either shows or hide the movie clip. What I have on the stage is just a Graphical Element and Visibility is just an property.

After quite some time I finally decided to pick up Flash again, this time taking the OOP route. I'm a bit rusty though, so I'm stuck on something pretty basic.Here's my Layout of relevant objects and scripts:
Stage > gunAmmo (TextField)
Stage > player (MC) > pistol (MC)
........ > player.as > pistol.as
As you might've guessed, what I'm trying to do is set the gunAmmo.text property from within my pistol class. I've tried using MovieClip(root).gunAmmo, stage, etc., but neither seems to be working. I sort of get why, but I don't know what the correct syntax is. (And yes, the TF's instance name has been set correctly.
Access stage objects (like Movie Clip or text fields) from sub classes.The problem came when I define a subclass and try to access stage objects. How can I do that?Imagine I have a movie clip named redBox_mc on the stage.I want to change it`s alpha after I get my xml loaded.(or any other action in subclass)
Main class:
package src{

public class code01 extends MovieClip {
public var rt:xmlReader = new xmlReader("art.xml"); // my subclass

I did some searching and it looks like elements that are on the timeline are added at the lowest possible depth first and in increasing order. I want to attach a movie clip, but I want it to be behind elements that are on the timeline. How can I do that if timeline elements are already as low as they can go?
View 3 RepliesI have an external class in a .as file, my problem is that I can't access text box elements on the stage. Code like stage.txtfield.text or this.parent.txtfield.text does not work. The txtfield is the instace name of a Dynamic Text field.
View 4 RepliesI would like to fade in different elements I have on stage when my flash movie starts and would like to do this by using code rather than use the timeline. I have given Instance names to the elements (mc'c, graphics, buttons) and am looking for a simple piece of code (which easily lets me make changes to the duration of the fade) to make the specified elements fade in on stage once they appear.
View 2 RepliesSmarter than I Fellows:I've uploaded a source .fla for my project: [URL]I'm trying to get out of timeline based animation and start using AS.... I've been watching adobe tv and reading, reading. I can look at AS and understand it, but am far from knowing where to start when building something.Here for example I simply want my previous and next buttons to display hidden at the beginning of the movie and then show when the user mouses over the stage.
Of course they should also on click let us navigate from slide to slide and the slides will transition in and out on X axis with nice easing and a blur (i'm trying to mimic the action found at FontExplorerX [URL]. Right now, I'm just tying to get my buttons to not appear until mouseover (maybe they should appear on load and disappear after a delay and then reappear on mouseover - the mouseover trigger would be the whole stage for both buttons, not just the specific area).
I have a very simple XML doc that as3 outputs via dynamic textfields. Once loaded, how would I calculate the total width of the array objects on stage? Keeping in mind that the textfields stack horizontally.
