Flash :: [F8]Attaching A Movie Using A Linkage From Another Swf

[F8] Attaching + Linkage + Images XML?
Hi,

I'm making a Flash Cover Flow web page. What I do is use a for loop to set the linkage with my Mc [i] from the library, but somehow it doesn't get loaded in. I'm not sure if you can use linkage and XML to do this.

When I do get the images loaded in I lose the ability to import my reflection class and my rotation.

Can someone please explain or help me out. It would be greatly appreciated.

This is my XML and my for loop that attaches MovieClip.

Code:
var x:XML = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;

var urls:Array = new Array();
var captions:Array = new Array();
var whoIsOn:Number = 0;

x.onLoad = function(success) {
var number:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<number.length;i++) {
urls.push(number[i].attributes.url);
captions.push(number[i].attributes.caption);
trace(urls[i]);
trace(captions[i]);
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_"+i, i);

}

Download_On_Itunes.caption.text = captions[0];
mc.attachMovie("my_mc"+((i%12)+1),"urls"+([i]+1),1);
whoIsOn = 0;

}

x.load("gallery.xml");

//PRESET---------------------------------------
var home = this;
var refArray:Array = new Array();
var loopArray:Array = new Array();
//INIT-----------------------------------------
for (var i = 0; i<num; i++) {
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_"+i, i); // THIS ONE I COMMENT OUT AND NOTHING WORKS

mc.attachMovie("my_mc"+((i%12)+1),"urls"+([i]+1),1);

Download_On_Itunes.author.text = linkArrayTitle[0];// Place text inside Download_On_Itunes.author.text for the first time only

mc.index = i;

//Numbering for debug
var ref:ReflectionFlipper = new ReflectionFlipper(mc, 3, backgroundColor);
refArray.push(ref);

// MC Fuse

if (mc.index<=lastP) {//set MCs position if they are allowed to show up. And Fuse them.
mc._x = this["guideLine"+i]._x;
loopArray.push(mc);

if (mc.index == centerP) {
mc._xscale = mc._yscale=0;
mc.scaleTo(scaleVal,.5,easingType,.5,{startfunc:'calcRotation', startargs:mc});
Download_On_Itunes.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
Download_On_Itunes.captions.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
} else {
mc.tintTo(backgroundColor,tintVal,0,easingType);
}
} else {
mc.tintTo(backgroundColor,tintVal,0,easingType);
mc._visible = false;

// set invisible MC in deeper Level.
mc.swapDepths(-1*mc.index);
}
//Y MC

mc._y = yLevel;//set all MC's _y position
// MC
//
calcRotation(mc);
mc.onPress = function() {
home.sequenceFlg = true;
sequenceSlide(this);
};
//
//MC in both sides are invisible
if (i<1 || i>=lastP) {
mc._alpha = 0;
mc._visible = 0;
}
}
for (var q = 0; q<num; q++) {

mc.attachBitmap("my_mc"+((q%12)+1),"urls"+([q]+1),1);
}

for (b=1; b<=12; b++) {
this["btn"+b].index = b;
this["btn"+b].onPress = function() {
home.sequenceFlg = true;
if (home["mc_"+(this.index-1)]._alpha == 100) {
sequenceSlide(home["mc_"+(this.index-1)]);
} else {
sequenceSlide(home["mc_"+(this.index+12-1)]);
}
};
}

Help With Movie Clips Linkage
Hi - I'm relatively new to Flash but love it!! I would REALLY appreciate any help with this problem. I have a movie with the main menu system on the left containing 4 buttons. This menu is a movie clip placed onto the main stage. The main viewing area is in the centre where the info is displayed.
When the user rolls over one of the menu buttons the menu drops down with more buttons appearing in the menu, basically tweening to another point in the movie clip. I'm trying to get the buttons to link to other scenes but when clicked they just start the movie clip playing again!!
The web address is dizzy-heights.fsnet.co.uk so you can see what I mean. The buttons aren't "wired up" as such at the moment, but you'll see the drop down effect. The effect I'm after is for the text in the main viewing area to change when a menu button is clicked.
Hope you understand what I'm on about.
Cheers,
Si.

Flash Movie Linkage
Hey.

When you publish a new Flash .swf and .html file, the format expects both the Flash file and the HTML file to be together.

I need to save bandwidth on my webserver, so I was wondering. Is there a way to load Flash movies into an HTML file from an external server and play them from there? I'm just thinking of using my free, unlimited bandwidth server for hosting them, and then using my low-bandwidth dot com for viewing them. (If there is a way, would it also use up bandwidth on my dot com?)

If you could get back to me, it'd be appreciated.

Movie Clip Linkage
Hi

I not sure if I'm doing this right. I have a holder movie on my timeline called "background".
When entering a certain frame I want this background movie clip to be replaced with one linked in the library. This is what I have in the frame but its not working.

this.background.attachMovie("shop_bg", "deafwife_bg", 1);

deafwife_bg is the linkage name.

Am I doing something wrong? Cheers in advance

Preloading A Movie That Uses Linkage
Hi there all you guys!
I have this movie in which I load from the library 20 mp3s using Linkage. Everything works fine. If I add the preloader these mp3s will load on the first frame so normally that my preloader won't start from the begining it actually starts from 47%.

I did another movie that has a blank container that loads that big swf into and I use this movie as preloader...clasic solve to the linkage things preloding.

But now I have another problem...my sounds don't start. So if I won't use this new movie as preloader all the sound work just fine but the preloader doesn't . If I use the new movie to preload the preloader is just fine but the sound won't start.

Code used to add a sound object (in the main movie):

Scene5_sound = new Sound();
if (Scene5snd_playing!=true) {
    Scene5snd_playing=true;
    Scene5_sound.attachSound("Scene5Snd");
    Scene5_sound.start(0,1);
    if(_global.audio=="on"){
        Scene5_sound.setVolume(70);
    }
    else{
        Scene5_sound.setVolume(0);
    }
    }

1. Movie (in which I have the sounds) structure:
_root.main_mc so all the content is in a movie that is on the first frame.

2. Preloader movie has a container_mc (instance name) with this clasic code:

total=_root.container_mc.getBytesTotal();
loaded=_root.container_mc.getBytesLoaded();
kbloaded=int(loaded/total*100);
if(kbloaded==100){
    gotoAndPlay(22);
}

percentage=Math.round(_root.container_mc.getBytesLoaded()/_root.container_mc.getBytesTotal()*100);

So basicaly my question is why all the sound are not working when using the new movie as preloader...to solve the linkage preload case.

Thanks a lot!
Dragos.

Dragos.

Preloader For A Movie With Linkage
Hello,

I understand that the best way to create a preloader for a movie that uses linkage is to load this movie through another movie that will contain the preloader..

Does anyone have a link to an example of that?

Attaching Several Movie Clips Into A Movie Clip...
Hi;

I'm trying to attach several movie clips into another movie clip. I can add the movie clips successfully . However, the movie clips start from the middle of the main movie clip that I used as the background layer for the other movie clips. Is there any way to make it located to the top left? Here is the code I used:

Code:
Layer_Movie.attachMovie("NumberTop","num",depth,{ _x: scol + (col * 32), _y: scol - 32 });
scol and srow are the attributes that represents the starting locations from the left and top. (I used 10 for the variables scol and srow the movie should be located 10 pixels away from the top and left) 32 is the height and also width of the movie clip to be added.

Is it hopeless? (I know sometimes actionscript is not so powerful to implement such kind of processes. Since I have not time to wait for the another version of actionscript, I must find a solution for that problem)

Please help...

Attaching Movie Clips To Another Movie Clip
I'm attaching (and then removing) relevant movie clips to an empty movie clip that is shown in a scrollpane. It all works fine when triggered from buttons, but when the flash file is first loaded no clip is attached and thus nothing is displayed in the scrollpane. What am I doing wrong?

This is the function I trigger through the buttons and when the file is first loaded:
function loadScroll(the_page)
{
//create delay for component to initialize
i = 1;
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
i++;

if (i>5)
{
switch (the_page)
{
case "xmlGallery.html":
empty_mc.testreal_mc.removeMovieClip();
empty_mc.attachMovie("gallery", "galleryreal_mc", empty_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
scrollpane.invalidate();
break;
default:
empty_mc.galleryreal_mc.removeMovieClip();
empty_mc.attachMovie("test_mc", "testreal_mc", empty_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
empty_mc.testreal_mc.myTable.createTable(the_page) ;
scrollpane.invalidate();
}
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
test_mc.myTable.onTableRendered = function()
{
scrollpane.hScrollPolicy = "false";
};

loadPicture();
}

Linkage And Movie Load Issues
I have a movie with a basic "loading..." animation at the beginning. However, I also have linked audio files (I have linked them in order to control them - start, stop, volume).

The problem is, with those sounds linked, the "loading" animation doesn't show up on the screen until the 80-90% of the entire movie is loaded.

If I unlink them and drag them to the stage (which diminishes the level of control I have over their playback), the "loading" animation pops up immediately.

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Load Movie With Linkage Movies
this is my problem:

I want to load an external swf that contains several movieclips with linkage, export on first frame.
that works, and I can also use attachMovie in the main swf, but only on the movie where the external swf was loaded in.
question: how can I display those movies (with the linkage) in an other movie in the main swf??

(hope you can picture what I mean)

thnx?!

Attach Movie Linkage Problem
I've got a movie clip with a nav bar and the idea is that two of the buttons are supposed to attach a movie at level 1. So one should cancel the other load when loaded. Right. Problem is that for some reason, the first button is fine but the second one is loading the same linked mc as the first even though the linkage is different and never calls that movie clip. Actually the first time the second button is clicked, nothing happens at all. Only after I click the first button and THEN the second button does anything happen.

Here's my code:

stop();
cd_btn.onRelease = function(){
attachMovie("cdsub_mc", "sub_mc", 1);
sub_mc._x = 0;
sub_mc._y = 0;
}
downloads_btn.onRelease = function(){
attachMovie("dsub_mc", "sub_mc", 1);
sub_mc._x = 0;
sub_mc._y = 50;
}

Target Linkage Movie Clip
Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to target the linkage movie clips?
For instance, I have a component that has three children. Each children is associated with a linkage movie clip. And I have a button (named btn) in that linkage movie clip.

Then the component is loaded to level 10.

I used (for example):

_level10.child1.btn._visible=true;

but it didn't work, does anyone have a clue?

Attaching A Movie
Hey guys, i've got a prob and i'm totally stumped
instead of trying to confuse everyone with a long winded description, i'll just poste the code and my prob.

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
max=4
i=0
px =260
py =0
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(i < max){
j="jeep"+ i
jimg =j+".jpg"
jlnk = "jeeppics/" + jimg
attachMovie("Misc","misc"+i,10+i)
mov="misc"+i
mov._x= px+10
mov._y = py
px += 100
i ++

}
}
ok basically, it loops throu 4 at a time, and should place the mc's 10 px apart, but when i "trace(mov._x)" i get undefined. Now if i change "Mov._x.." to read "misc0._x=..." it sticks it in its place. Otherwise, it seems like the mc's just pile up on eachother. any help would be great!
thanks a bunch

Attaching Movie
Hi,

I want to Attach lots of movie clips, to another movie clip. But I only want them to be attached to the 2nd frame of the parent clip, if that makes any sense, so I can jump to the 1st frame of the parent clip, which will be blank to turn them off, how would you do that?

I've tried putting another clip on the 2nd frame of the parent clip, and then attaching them all to that clip on the 2nd frame, but it doesn't work.

thanks

Can I Open A Movie Symbol Using The Linkage Properites?
Is there a way to open a movie symbol with a button using the linkage properties in the library? Is that the reason for the linkage so you don't have to load a swf? I just have a movie that is not showing but then want to load it on screen. I'd rather not use the alpha to show it as not visible either. My main concern is seeing what you can do with the whole linkage thing. Thanks

Removing Attached (linkage) Movie Clip
hi, need a help
i have attached my work file

actully i am trying to draw continues line one point to another by mouse click , and each points there will be a round shape(using linkage library method) with the mouse click .

the problem is that i was only able to remove one round shape from the stage using remove movie clip method,

how can i remove all the attached movie by the reset button from newgrid2?

[CS3] Linkage Identifier And Embedded Movie Clips
I would appreciate if anyone could help with the problem I am having referencing a linked movieclip.

I have a scroll pane with the instance name menuScroll. The scrollPane loads a linked movie clip called menuDropMC with the same instance name. MenuDropMC also loads several instances of a linked movie clip called moduleNameMC with the same instance name. The moduleNameMC contains a button called moduleBtn. I am trying to disable this button from root.

The moduleNameMCs are generated dynamically and are followed by a number using a for loop.("moduleNameMC"+i)

e.g. moduleNameMC0, moduleNameMC1, moduleNameMC2, etc.

I have tried the following:

_root.menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBt n.enabled = false;
menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enab led = false;
menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;
moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;

Thanks in advance.

Attaching A Movie Hell
I have a MC which is my Navagation bar. The buttons use actionscript to attach one MC to another MC in my main time line. Can this be done? this is the code I have so far.

The code belongs to a button in my navagation MC called "screen1"
"TheClip" is an empty MC - located on the main time line.
"Design" is the MC I want to attach to "TheClip"

on (release) {
_root.TheClip.attachMovie( "Design","Design1", 1);
_root.TheClip.Design1._x = -275;
_root.TheClip.Design1._y = -15;
}

The code works fine if the button it is attached to is on the main timeline.

Attaching Mc's From A Loaded Movie?
If I load a movie into my main movie. Can I then use attachMovie from my main movie to dynamically add movie clips from symbols in the loaded movie.

In other words I have main.swf which loads child.swf into mc holder, using loadMovie(). Child.swf contains symbol xyz with linkage abc.

Later can I then use attachMovie to pull xyz into a clip in main.swf, like this, display is a clip on the _root of main.swf

display.attachMovie("abc", 500);

I've tried this but it didn't seem to work. And, yes child.swf had loaded previously in a prior statement block.

I read that movies cannot access symbols from other movies libraries, does that prevent this from working?

Thanks,
Doug

Hi,

Many internet games have this effect:

When you walk near someone, a box comes up and something inside that box is written (static text box). There is no motion tween, just appears and dissapears.
Would you use the attachMovieClip function and if there is one, the remove moviclip function???

Attaching Movie Clips
Heres my code that creates a movie clip then attaches a movieclip to this.

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bg", 1)
block1 = bg.attachMovie("block", "block1", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
block1._x = Stage.width/2

this works fine.
But when I try to attach another one to this movieClip it destroys the last one:

Code:
block2 = bg.attachMovie("block", "block2", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
block2._x = Stage.width/3

How do I create a movieclip and put both of these movieclips in them?

Loading / Attaching Movie
hi guys,

I am trying to load a movie at a particular level .. using the following script, but it is not working.

Code:
loadMovieNum("a.swf", 2);
I tried hard to make this code working but failed, then i though may be i should use "loadMovie" to load "a.swf" at the target DUMMY movie. for this i did this...

at the first frame of my movie i wrote

Code:
_root.attachMovie("bg", "bg", 2);
the code worked fine and the movieClip "bg" was loaded from library to the stage, but it was loaded at level0 ... instead of level2.

and then when i used loadMovie for this target movie ... it occupied the "root" which it should be.

can you people help me to load the movie at some other level ... i am sucked by AS-2 to load a movie.

HELP Attaching Movie Clips
Hi,

I'm trying to use the attachMovie command, I've been playing with the tutorial here on it but I'm stumped at this point.

1: If you look at this tutorial and download the FLA you will see every time you click one of the buttons an instance of a MC will appear on stage.
Then if you click it again the old one disappears and the new instance appears. I want the old instance to stay on screen and add another instance on top.
http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...ie/index.shtml

2: Is it possible to attach actionscript to these instances when t hey appear on stage. I would, for example like them to be draggable and attach this code.

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
this.startDrag();
}}

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
this.stopDrag();
}}
any help???

[F8]Attaching A Movie Using A Linkage From Another Swf

Hi, I have an swf file loaded into level3, it contains a global array that is a string list of linkage titles of assets in the file. I want the file in level0 to use attachMovie and the global array to attach the assets in level3 to a movieclip on level0. It does not appear to work, any ideas?
