Flash :: [AS2] Is It Possible To End Movie Or At Least Hide It In Browser When It's Done?

Address URL In Browser.... Hide?
Hello,

Another quick question if I may. I'm using Dreamweaver to create a simple HTML site as an intro to my flash animation. Is there anyway
to link in Dreamweaver so that the address does not appear in the address URL bar on Explorer? Currently it is showing ...intro.html then ...flash.html etc as the user clicks around. I don't mind it showing the main url, just not the pages the user links too.

Any suggestion most welcome!

many thanks in advance.

Browser Detect To Hide A DIV Layer?
I am adding a transparent Flash window to an HTML page, so it appears that things are flying over the HTML page. (I'm NOT having a problem with this.)

Problem is that the transparent Flash only works in the following browsers:

Internet Explorer 3 or higher (Windows)
Internet Explorer 5.1 and 5.2 (Macintosh)
Netscape 7.0
Mozilla 1.0 or higher
AOL
CompuServe

So... I need a JavaScript that detects browsers and hides the DIV layer if the wrong browser is detected. I've found browser detection scripts, but can't figure how to modify them to hide a layer.

PROBLEM: I'm totally lame when it comes to scripting. Can some kind soul help me here? I'd be happy to send lots of great karma your way!

How Should I Hide A Movie?
I'm constructing a Flash file which has several movies.
I only want one movie to show at a time.
BUT, I don't want to reload the movies becuase they hold variables which are required for my application.

What I therefore am trying to do is hide each movie that isn't necessary to be on the stage, by changing it's _x or _y value.

Is this a good strategy?
Is it dangerous to do this for some reason?
Can I do it another way?

Or should I be using another method, say using global variables or something?

Any help/opinionswould be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Can't Hide A Movie... Why?
The following actionscript isn't hiding the
movie (in this case an imported mpeg
saved as an swf). What is missing?
I don't want the movie to begin playing until later and can't seem to start/stop and make it invisible/visible upon my command.

createEmptyMovieClip("empty", 1);
loadMovie("sampleMovie.swf", "empty");
empty._visible = false;
empty._x = 100;
empty._y = 100;

How To Hide Movie Instances
I have 2 movie clips: A & B. They each have an invisible button.

I want to, on the main timeline, only show A when it starts. When the user clicks on A, hide movie instance A and show movie instance B (and vice versa, click on B, show A/hide B).

I tried using the _visible, but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I'm putting code in the wrong place.

Full Browser Movie, But Use Browser Scrollbar When Needed
Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars?

For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

I can't get a button to hide a movie that is shown using this code:

Code:
stop();

col1 = Number(col1);
col2 = Number(col2);
col3 = Number(col3);
// loop and attach movie clips for bar 1
for (x=0; x<col1; x++) {
name = "col1"+x;
_root.attachMovie("col1", name, x);
// set _x and _y of this new attached clip
// note that 15 is just the height (approx) of one block
// these values are arbitrary
with (_root[name]) {
_x = 187;
_y = 566-(6*x);

Using A Slider To Show / HIde Movie Clips
I've created a slider and would like when the slider gets dragged across a certain point (preferably an x coordinate) it will then show a movie clip. It's being used for a portfolio.

I've created the slidder with 2 different images:
1. is the line it moves on
2. is the actual slider bar

I have the following code on the slider to allow the user to drag it back and forth but I'm not sure how to set it so that when the user reaches a certain point it will show a movie clip that contains different images that relate to that point.

onClipEvent (load) {
top = _y;
bottom = _y;
left = _x;
right = left + 175;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (dragging == true) {
// execute this code
}
}

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Attach Code

onClipEvent (load) {
top = _y;
bottom = _y;
left = _x;
right = left + 175;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

// execute this code

Hide Movie Clip's Real Width
I have one main movie clip "content" that contains evreything for my site. A script running on _level0 watches the width/height of this movie clip to keep it centered within the flash window.

Now, I have masks inside this "content" movie clip. These masks may be quite small (say 400px wide) yet they are revealing only small areas of much larger jpegs (maybe 2000px wide).

My problem is that the script running to center the "content" movie clip measures these massive jpegs that are hidden by the mask. I would like only the revealed portions to be centered within my movie.

Any ideas?

Cheers, James.

How Do I Hide Area Of Movie Turning All White Before Loading

Load Movie, Play, Then Hide Or Store On Or Off Stage?
I have a main movie (main.swf) in which I load external swf's into. My first movie that is loaded is "home.swf". After it plays to the end it stops on a pic. the user can click a button to go to the next section, for example "company.swf". Home is then "unloaded" automatically so company can load, right? Well, in the main movie is where my navigation sits, an MC called "MainNav_MC". I also have a logo in which i would like the user to be able to click and return to the last frame of "home.swf". If home.swf is not loaded it does not work. How can I "hide" or move home.swf off stage so it is loaded and will work when a user clicks the logo to "go home"?

Thanks for ANY assistance . . . I've been scratching my head on this one for a little over a week!

How To Hide Several Movie Clips On EnterFrame (or OnEnterFrame SwapDepth) AS2 CS3
Hi Guys,

I am new to AS2, so any hints would be appreciated. The movie I am doing uses Kirupa's rollover tutorial to roll an effect off a movie clip. As there are several of these on the page, I am also using swapdepth to put them on the top of the other clips when we are hovering over them. Otherwise the layer order messes things up.

The test file can be seen at www.greetingsfrombayer.com/new.

The (butchered) mc code is as follows:

---------------
stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){ //if rewind switch is set to true play backwards
prevFrame(); // play backwards
}
}

this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false; //set variable (or switch) that decides wether ot not to play backwards...
play(); // play this movie clip.. (grow the button(tween));
_root.x +=2; // this moved the movie clip to the top, to get out of the way of the others
this.swapDepths(_root.x);
}

this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true; //set or rewind switch to true so it will play backwards...
_root.x -= 3; // puts it back down onto it's level again
this.swapDepths(_root.x);
}

this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.animalhealth.bayerhealthcare.com","_blank");
}

---------------

The issue is that I have a closing image that comes on about a minute into the animation. (The movie pauses on frame 1 for 60 secs then moves on) But if a user is still hovering over one off the movie clips it keeps that movie clip on top, over the animation, which of course looks stupid.

So I either need to have an onEnterFrame (or alternative) that will delete all of the little movie clip rollovers, or will bring the final large movie clip to the top when it starts, whatever the user is hovering on. Any ideas would be really appreciated as this is the last little bit of the job to finish.

And if you do visit the test site, sorry about the music. The animation at the end fades in after 60 sec.

I am using CS3, with AS2.

Cheers,

Will

Actionscript/Javascript Hide Movie Clip With Buttons
Hi all, and thanks for reading.
I have an embedded Flash movie which I'm manipulating with JavaScript.
I basically want to hide certain "layers" which have essentially become groups of symbols in an embedded movie clip. The goal is to hide everything, which worked well using the Alpha property when the symbols in the movie clip were just graphics, but, now that I'm converting them to buttons to add interactivity, it's become problematic: the buttons, although invisible, are still active.
Is there some way that I can just outright hide or turn off the movie clip or make each button in that movie clip inactive (without using a for loop) so that these buttons will disappear?
Putting an invisible rectangle over it is not an option, as there are many different "layers" and possible combinations that would make it impractical.

Thanks in advance.

Is It Possible To Show And Hide Html Layres Using Buttons In A Flash Movie ? If So Ho
Is it possible to show and hide html layres using buttons in a flash movie ? If so How ?

For example I have a html page which has on it a html layre. You know the score:

Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:247px; height:11px; z-index:1; left: 75; top: 11; visibility: visible; etc
Now what I want to do is to be able to show and hide this layre using a flash button, held in a flash movie that will also be on the html page.

Therefore I basically need to know if it is possible and how to control the visibility of the layre

Cheers Guys

Full Screen, No Scale, Hide Items Outside Movie Area

Trigger Show/hide Multiple Div Layers From Flash Movie
Hello,
I need to show and hide multiple DIV layers by clicking on buttons inside an embedded flash movie. I looked around and the closest I got was this tutorial here:

http://www.bestflashanimationsite.com/tutorials/1/

but the problem is I need 10 buttons to each show one layer while hiding the other ones. For example, I click button 1, layer 1 shows, then I click on button 5, layer 1 is hidden and layer 5 shows etc.

How can the above code be split so instead of showing all DIV layers at once, it shows one and hides the rest??? If anyone has any suggestion it would help tons. Thanks.

Show And Hide A Movie Clip.... Also Clarification On Instance Names
Hello.

First of all I would like to show and hide a movie clip when a button is pressed.
I have tried

Code:
on(release){
Info.hide();
}
and

Code:
on(release){
Info.visible = false;
}
What about if I place the button inside a movie clip and the movie clip i want to show and hide isn't within that movie clip? Do I just stick _root. infront of Info? Is _root used to address the stage and _parent to address something 1 level up from the place the AS is?

Secondly, I would like some clarification on this

When you convert something to a symbol you name it and you can place it on the stage. You can also give it an instance name if you wish. If you were to use code to address the mc on the stage you use the instance name. Is this always the case? or can you sometimes use the name?

Also the identifier? under the linkage bit, what is this used for?

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry if the message is written poorly, I kept thinking of more questions I need clarifying.
P.S.S. Thanks again
