Actionscript :: Flash AS2 - LoadMovie Movieclip Property Edits Don't Show In Browser
Apr 13, 2011
Using loadmovie I'm loading an external SWF on a different domain. Any property changes made to a movie clip in the loaded SWF don't show in a broswer. container.emc.loadMovie([URL]); Inside movieA is the movieclip "box". I don't want "box" to be visible so I've used container.emc.box._visible = false; All working fine at this point, when I preview the SWF from Flash (CS3) I see that box isn't visible. When I open the SWF in the browser, movieA is loaded but box is not set to invisible. This happens with all browsers or any publish settings I try.
Background: I am trying to create a website that is easily updateable by a non-html savy user. I figure I can load the content of my flash page from a notepad file within the same directory.I would prefer to not make the editor use a FTP program, so I figure the best method is a webpage where the person can log in and type the updated text and have it create a new notepad file and overwrite the old one. I am not sure if this is technically flash or simply a html question, but does anyone know how to go about doing this
I have a picture that I want to be my background. So I put it around the stage, but when I test my movie in a web browser, only my stage shows. Is there a way I can get it to all show? I don't really care if my background is cut off, as long as you can see it, because it's a tile sort of picture.
I created a third party text movie on flash typer, the text is white and the background is black, I loaded the movie on my flash mx and it seems to work except the background is always white, so my text does'nt show up?
how to show variable from swf file with loadmovie?if main.swf loadmovie mc1.swf mc1.swf can sent variable in input text to main.swf?if it can how to show variable from mc1.swf in dynamic text in main.swf?
what I want to do is have several external movies, say movie01.swf, movie02.swf and movie3.swf and then have a main movie that pulls in all of those swf's and plays them, sounds simple but I haven't been able to find anyone trying to do the same thing
but this'll just play the last movie over and over, I want a way to say something like loadMovie("movie01.swf", this); then when finished loadMovie("movie02.swf", this); etc etc ..
I'm dynamically creating an empty movieclip inside another movieclip to load an image into it. How could i make sure that this image is always centred in the movieclip?
Also, if i have a attached movieclip named E.G. 1M how do i find out the x and y position to make it appear next to each other?
I have a campus map at www.averett.edu/map. The swf is very tall and you have to scroll down to get to some navigational buttons at the bottom which load swf of other campus maps into the top left corner of the parent. The problem is...even though the movies load without a problem, the browser is still scrolled down to the bottom of the page and the user has to scroll back up to see the maps. Is there anything I can do to force the browser window to scroll back up to the top when a movie loads?
I have encountered a problem with the "message" property of the "Error" class.The problem consists in the difference of the message text between the Flash Player of the Flash program and the Flash Player of the browser.I am using the "try, catch" statement to catch en error and afterward I display the "message" property of the error in a text field.In the Flash program, the text field displays the full error message, something like:Code:Error #1085: The element type "something" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</something>".But in the browser, it only displays the code, not the description of it as well:Code:Error #1085Is this an error ? Is there a way to go around this ?

what are some tricks and tips for making editing across frames quicker and more consistent? For example, if I have an animation with many frames and/or multiple scenes is there a way to add or move an element so that it appears the same way across all of the frames?
I have an editable DataGrid in Flex, with data full of numbers. The columns have no special itemRenderer, but a labelFunction, which returns the number as-is if positive, but puts it in parentheses if it is negative, like so
27.3 => "27.3" -27.3 => "(27.3)"
Now, these cells are editable. When I try to edit a cell with a positive number, nothing is wrong. But if I try to edit a negative number, it starts editing (27.3) instead of editing -27.3. Because of this, when the edit is done, the labelFunction is evaluated with the new value in parentheses(i.e.,labelFunction is called with "(30.5)"), and converting it to a Number results in NaN. So, I want to know if I can make the DataGrid edit the data in the dataProvider instead of the label that it shows.
You know when you "liquify" something in Photoshop, and then you have all these different options to push parts of the picture around. Is there any way to make a region that will basically "re-liquify" every frame, no matter what is underneath of it?
Something is broken in my Flash Professional CS5, and it's creating a real pain. When I have finished editing a page of TLF text and want to return to the stage, I find the little left arrow Missing In Action.
I'd send you picture of it, but it can no longer be found. Here is an image that I snagged from Adobe TV to give you a rough idea what I'm saying. The difference is that when I was editing a text symbol, ( before it broke ) then its name would be where Scene 1 appears, and the arrow would be strongly visible ( dark blue? ) rather than grayed out like this one is.
When this first happened it took a while to find any way at all of escaping the edit, but I finally found a really clunky way to get out. I have to save then exit the entire .fla file edit session, then come back in and start over.
I'm running Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2.489, apparently 32 bit code under Windows 7 on a 64-bit i7 processor.
Not surprisingly, this creates a big problem for me, since I have a huge amount of work that must be done quickly. I spent the money necessary to purchase what I thought was the best tool on the market, now I need some help to get it working again.
how you display a border around every MovieClip in Flash. I've done it once but I can't seem to find it at all. What happens is that a blue (I think) box is drawn for the bounding box of the movieclip, and it does this for every movieclip automatically, so I don't think it's creating a border manually for every movieclip you add.
In addition this box doesn't rotate with the movieclip, instead it is just a square that completely surrounds the movieclip. If the movieclip rotates, the square just gets bigger or smaller to match.
I cannot get a simple swf to show up in when uploaded. It is a simple .swf file in a index page. It shows up correctly when I test locally but when I upload I get nothing. I have checked all of the links and the files are in the same directory so no links got broken. Also in Dreamweaver I see all of the files sitting up there on the server. I am posting link and the code to see if anything jumps out that I am just overlooking. Also when I test the same index page with just text on there it uploads and displays correctly but will not recognize the swf file.
I have a flash app, a small photo gallery here[url]...
For some reason the thumbnails to the left of the rotating images don't show up. They work perfectly on my pc but they don't show up when I view it from the server. It's really bugging me because the thumbnails and large photos are located in the same folder. This is an xml drive photo gallery.[url]...
I am new to flash parameters but from the research I could find so far it seems that this should be fairly simple. I have a flash file that has a movie clip in it. In this movie clip there are two movie clips. What I need to do is show a one movie clip and hide another. I basically only need to set up the reading of the flash parameter code in flash... var imageToShow:String; var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
This is basically what I have... I'm not sure what to go on to next or if this is even correct. Code: if (parameter == "image1") { image.image1.alpha = 1; image.image2.alpha = 0; }
I was looking to make 2 buttons; one that hides a movieclip that is playing on a slide, and one that shows it again. I've heard theres a few ways to do this but none of them are making much sense to me (i previously made some buttons that play, pause and stop a movieclip, and I think I am stuck in the wrong frame of mind to do these next 2 buttons...) How to tackle this task.
In Visual Studio, when we write some code, there are code hints, for property,custom method of some class that we create.There are code hints on Flash CS4, but it seems that it didn't show code hints for custom method or property on some class . Is there any way to make Flash CS4 show code hints for custom method, property and namespace that we created ?
I would like to know, in which dimension create such a site like this.
I can create the slide show, but I do not know which dimension of the *.fla shall I use for creating images in such a big size like on this site: [URL]
does when I publish in flash, but doesnt when I run the same swf in the browser. neither local server nor web server. firefox 3, os x, flash cs3, player 9is there anything I am missing?the window pops up when I use xxx.browse(),
I made a flash movie and I put a preloade in the first frame with the appropriate actionscript codes: ifFrameLoaded("146"){ gotoAndPlay(2); } I put the swf file on the server and tried to open it through internet to see how the preloader works, but the browser did not show the flash file at all before loading all frames! How I can force the browser to show the first frame "that contains the preloader movie" while loading other frames?
I tried to search for tutorials here at Kirupa but it seems I keep on bumping on a dead end. I have a problem with a video clip I imported to my flash movie. When I am on the editing screen, I can see that there is a TOOL BAR below the movie. But when I publish it, it doesn't show anything at all in the browser. The movie then is not preloaded. And by the way, I placed a preloader at the beginning of the frame but it seems that the movie is not preloaded so it jitters as it plays frame by frame. [URL]
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.
