A Movie In Side A Movie Inside Another Movie
Hi , i'm creating a website for a group and i'm pretty much done with it.
My problem is I have the first swf loading the second movie like frame - the next section of the site. In that second movie I have a dynamic list which I want to load another movie into. it work fine from the point 2->3 but not if i run it like it was a whole 1->2->3
I'm not sure if I have to do something more specific with the patch for the third movie or if flash is just not capable of it.
please help! thank you for your time.
I made a picture that might make it a little easier to follow at:

Having A Button Inside A Movie Clip To Move The Root Movie To Another Frame?
i dont know much about actionscripting so explain to me in simple terms...
i have buttons inside a single movie clip and i want to have each button (when clicked or rollover-ed) move the frame header of the main (root) movie to another position. what actionscript does this require? and will each button actually be "clickable" since they're all encapsulated in ONE movie clip??
thanks

[F8] Movie Clip Actions Inside Main Movie Not Working
I know this HAS to have been answered somewhere here before... I've been doing Flash on and off since it's creation, but it's been a while since I used it. I have Flash8 running on this dev machine and I am adding a little accordion to an old project. I have tried calling the accordion swf from the main movie and loading it in, but this is not working for me.
So, I tried copying all of the frames form the external SWF accordion (it's small), along with it's actionscript to a MC inside the main movie and placed that MC on the timeline in the main file. The MC shows up fine, but the action associated with it is not functioning.... basically I want the text button to pop up the accordion MC and allow interaction by the user to click through the slides within it.
A little definition:
KSB_MC = the container MC on the main timeline that displays the first frame of the MC which is: KSBbutton_MC
KSBbutton_MC = the text MC visible from the main timeline that should launch the KSBanimation_MC (which is the accordion)
This is the AS I have so far that is in the MC I placed on the main timeline:
//first we stop both animations inside KSB_MC from running
KSB_MC.KSBbutton_MC.stop();
KSB_MC.KSBanimation_MC.stop();
//then we make conditional, the button action so that if the button_MC is pressed, the button goes to frame 2 and the animation_MC plays or else stop both animations
KSB_MC.KSBbutton_MC.onPress = function(){
if(KSB_MC.KSBbutton_MC._currentFrame ==1){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
KSB_MC.KSBanimation_MC.play();
}
else{
this.gotoAndStop(1);
KSB_MC.KSBanimation_MC.stop();
}
}
.......first of all, the KSBbutton_MC on hover shows a finger cursor as it should, but does not activate when pressed. Nothing happens after that. I get no errors in the AS checker....
my problem is with layering or something st00pyd. Feelin kinda n00bysh.
Help a brothah out will ya guys?

Movie Inside Movie Wont Load Variables.
Hello,
I have a Main navigation movie that loads page movies inside a movie clip within the main navigation movie.
one of the pages "News" will not load its variables when viewed inside the Main Navigation movie clip but will load them when viewed on its own.
Here is a snippet of code I am running in the "News" page:
this.addressVars = new LoadVars();
this.addressVars.load("php-text.php");
this.addressVars.onLoad = function() {
_root.newsText.text = addressVars.newsText;
_root.newsTitle = addressVars.newsTitle;
_root.newsDate = addressVars.newsDate;
}
I am guessing it may have something to do with addressing this or root or parent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Detecting A Loading Movie Inside Your Main Movie?
Hi, I'm stuck on trying this thing, I'm loading in movies for my site, I wanna make stuff load when clicked, ya know to save dl time and all. Ok, So I'd like a button to load in another movie, preferably in two places, but I want the cursor to be the load bar, and I know how to do all that, it's just to how do I address the movie loading in, so I can monitor it's progress?
Basicly I'd have a mc called loader, which would follow the cursor, and have this AS attached to the main timeline
Quote:
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
percentbytes=int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
loader.gotoAndStop(percentbytes);
That's just a simple script I got off a tutorial, so how do I make that work for movies being dynamicly loaded in? And wont those clips loaded in have to be put into a blank MC with createEmptyMovieClip, then use attachMovieClip to assign them to the two different final MCs?
Thanks for your time, and any help you can give.
A Movie Inside A Movie With A Link To The Main Stage
Ok here is my problem. I have a movie in side a movie, which all works great, but i want to link a button inside to get the play head to go back to the main stage, nothing happens. I have attached a short version of my file. So you can see what is happening.
This is what is supposed to happen, on the stage the movie clip plays, then you click on "site map" another movie plays within the first clip and it has more buttons, then you would click on "who we are" and that should bring you back to "MENU1" on the main stage.
If anyone knows what I am talking about and can give me the action script for the button or make one work that would be great!!
Thank you !!!!
Help - Swap Movie Inside A Movie + Others In Html Page
Using: flash mx 2004
What I have: A html page with two swf files.
"SWF 1" is the main navigation with a "content movie" in it.
"SWF 2" is further information, animation etc.
What I want to do:
1- When I press a button in "SWF 1", I want the "content movie" to swap accordingly to new content without loading base movie over and over.
2- With the same button press, I want "SWF 1" to change the content of "SWF 2" to new content accordingly.
Results I want to acheive:
- I want the flash movie base "SWF 1" to remain while the content changes smoothly without the whole html page refreshing and reloading the main "SWF 1" base.
- I want the "SWF 2" to change smoothly too without the page refreshing and therefore refreshing "SWF 1"
Please help and please feel welcome to give me other solutions to my problem. Thanks in advance.

Loaded Movie Inside Main Movie Will Not Play.
I have a main movie that plays up to a certain frame then stops. From there I have links when clicked on it loads movies using loadMovie() into an empty movie clip.
My problem is, when the only movie with animation loads, it doesn't play. I have a preloader in the first two frames, then when the movie loads it is to gotoAndPlay(3). The preloader runs and works, but when it jumps to frame 3 it doesn't play.
The movie runs fine when the swf file is opened in the flash player. Or when I test it in the flash program is works fine. I only have this problem when I load it into another movie.
Does anyone know what is causing it?

Playing A Flash Movie Inside Another Movie
Hi All. I've created a small site out of flash, and the content I have made using Swish. I exported the Swish to an SWF file, then imported the SWF into a new symbol --> Movie, named "Content". This consisted of 20 individual frames. I then accepted it, and dragged the "Content" from the Library into the main piece of movie itself, but when I try to view the movie the imported SWF does not play. Does anybody know how to play a flash movie, inside another flash movie. Cheers,
Kind Regards,

Movie Clip Inside A Flash Movie
Hi,
I would like to insert inside a flah animation differents movie clips of differents size than the main animation. Does it make sens?
Ok, let's say I've got a 600px X 250px Flash animation, now I would like to insert in this animation 3 other movie clips next to each other-each one of them measuring 200px X 250px.
That way I will have 3 small animations with there own boundaries running at the same time on the main animation, so if I want a ball going from left to right in the first animation (the one at the far left on the main animation), the ball will diseapear inside the first animation boundaries without appearing on the main animation.
Ok it's a bit confuse but I am not a Flash expert, so forgive me.
Thanks

A Movie Inside A Multi-frame Movie.
I have a movie that has several mouseover buttons. I was new, so I used the onrollover to take me to another frame where I can get the mouseover effect. It's a bitmap, with invisible buttons layered on top, with onrollover properties. In fairness, I suppose I should have used the simple button capabilities in Flash but, hey, I was new when I made it.
The problem is that now I want to add an animation or movie in the corner of that flash document. It has to be IN the document because, well, I lack any more real estate. If I have a movie playing however, wouldn't it stop once a rollover took place? And how can I have an animation that only takes space on the first frame?
Is there a way to refer to a movie and load it from outside the clip? One that will continue to play, regardless of the frame? That way, I can simply refer to that external file and have my cake and eat it too.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

[F7]attach A Movie Inside A Loaded Movie
Hi,
I have a main .swf called a.swf. It loads the movie b.swf in one of the layers. Inside movie b.swf is a movie called c. Movie c is set up to export for actionscript with the linkage name "movieC".
Now, what I want to do is attach movieC from code in movie a.
Something like newMC = target.attachMovie("movieC", "c1", depth); But movie A apparently doesn't know the id "movieC".
so C is in B.
A loads B.
how does A access C?
I'm using AS2, btw. Thanks!

My Flash Movie Won't Work Inside Another Movie?
I have a menu that rises and falls with actionscript, though when I put the menu into a movie clip, the menu does not rise or fall anymore. :-( I can't figure out why the movie will work on the main frames, but not when I place it into a movie clip. It would be nice to have everything into a movie clip so that it does not take up so much space on my opening frames. Can anyone take a look at my .fla and tell me what I'm doing wrong?! Thanks!

Put AS Created Movie Inside Movie Clip
I have used ActionScript to create a movie which contains a text field (that imports XML) and a UIScrollBar. I'd like to fade the text in but it won't work because the fade script (alex_uhlmann) requires the initial alpha to be set to 0 and since there is no physical clip on stage, doing this - text_mc._alpha = 0; - doesn't work.
So if I can put text_mc inside a clip on stage (with alpha at 0) I can fade it. How can I get the text_mc inside content_mc with ActionScritp?
Thanks

Remoting Movie Inside Flash Movie
Hi,
I have several separate Flash movies that use remoting to connect to the database.
My experience in Flash is pretty much limited to the creation of these movies, so my questions may seem silly but here goes:
I need to put all these movies into a larger movie but I have no idea how to do so
When I import to library and drag an instance onto the stage and give instance name, the movie shows up but does not play. When I use _root.<instance_name>.play(), I get nothing.
Can anybody offer advice on how to get these individual flash movies with remoting to work when inside a larger flash movie?
Thanks,
flash_gorgon
