Does anyone know of a realy good tutorial on calling a movie(loadMovie)from your movie? Something that explains how it works and how you control it and display it...

Animating Dynamically Loaded Mcs/lee Brimlows Carousel Tutorial/calling The Pros
hiya,
i followed lee brimlows excellent carousel tutorial and i am wondering how to animate dynamically loaded mcs in that tutorial before the main animation, which is basically a carousel of dynamically loaded icons that rotate in a circle depending on where the mouse is, starts.
what i am aiming at is to have a sort of fountain-like animation before the main thing starts; in that way that the icons not just 'appear' on the stage, but are animated from 0, 0 to their position on the carousel.
i have the proper classes for the curved fountainlike animation (MCTween classes), but i don't know where to put the code in the actionscript, for i am not that good at actionscript to grasp what is going on.
i know that this:
Code:
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.content = nodes[i].attributes.content;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.r.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
t.icon.onRelease = released;
}
}
is the part of the code where the icons are dynamically created and the functions are called, and i guess i have to squeeze this code (created by myself; probably wrong), which i think could be the correct one to achieve what i am looking for, into:
Code:
function fountain()
{
this.xposition = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this.yposition = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
this.bezierSlideTo(0, 200, this.xposition, this.yposition, 1, "easeInOutQuint", 1, undefined, undefined, undefined);
}
the problem is i don't know where to put it in.
though i don't have a problem with the tween class, i thought i might give reference to it:
the bezierSlideTo is a MCTween class. the syntax is:
<MovieClip|TextField>.bezierSlideTo(control point x, control point y, x, y [, seconds, animation type, delay, callback, extra1, extra2]);
http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/
i attached the original tutorial files from gotoandlearn.com. due to filesize limitations, i split the folder in three. just put everything in one folder and you'll be shiny.
this is the link to the video tutorial:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com
i am not letting you do the work; this is just a desperate call for help. i tried everything i know to get this idea to work, but due to my limited knowledge can't come up with the solution (which is probably pretty easy); and i decided to ask for help before pulling any more hair out...
the guys at the gotoandlearn forum couldn't help, by the way.
any help is greatly appreciated!
cheers,
dual
this is the actionscript used in the tutorial:
Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 300;
var radiusY:Number = 75;

Calling A _root. Variable Of A Movie Clip That Is Loaded Into Another Movie...
My problem is I have two movie clips that i'm working with. The child-clip has a variable and a movie at _level10 (the base of it) that I would like to call when the child-clip is loaded into the parent-clip. I tried _level10.variable but that did not work. And commonly _root brought me to the _root of parent.
How can I get around this?
P.S.
I know there was a way in Flash 4 that you could call instances backwards (//instance) or something like that. But I haven't used Flash 4 in a LONG while.

Calling Movie After Movie From A Main Flash File
Hi all,
I have some banners made in flash and I need a main flash to contain all banners and show them one after the other in an infinite loop.
I've tried to coy the frames of the banners and paste them in the main flash file one set of frames after the other, but it is a total mess, nothing is in its place.
What should I do?
Should I call the banners from the main flash as separate movies? If so, how is it done?
Thanks a ton in advance!

Calling A Movie On The Main Stage From Another Movie.
I have a movie that I placed on the main stage and I want to call it by way of another movie. Since the movie I want to call resides outside of the movie that will call it, I was wondering how I would go about doing that. Here's the code I've got so far for the movie that is going to make the call:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("DEbuttons") {
gotoAndPlay("fade in");
}
}
DE buttons is the movie that resides outside of this movie and on the main stage. I wasn't sure if I can use _level0 somewhere in there and I wasn't sure where it ought to go. Thanks for any help.

Calling SWF At The End Of A FLV Movie
I've modeled - prepared cut scenes for a 3d animation that I'm importing as chunks into flash (FLV files). Now, I'm wondering how to create an effect similar to:
http://www.mediaboom.com
Upon clicking a section the cut scene will activate. At the end of the animation I need it to call my swf file. Then when a new section is clicked I want the animation to revert (rewind) back to the starting scene and then call the next animation (like media boom). Any advice??
Calling A Loaded Movie? HOW?
This should be easy, but I'm having a hell of a time with it.
I have a movieclip with an instance of soundClip on the main timeline.
In this movieclip, I am loading an SWF file as such:
loadMovie ("mySound.swf", "soundClip");
In my main movie, I want to control this loaded SWF file.
What is the path to it?
I've tried this but it didn't work:
_root.soundClip.mcControl.sLoop.start(0, 99);
(mcControl is a MC in the loaded movie) but that does not work at all.
Any help is appreciated!

Calling Movies From Within That Movie.
I have 3 movies and 3 buttons in one file. I want each button to call a different movie.

Can someone tell me the easy way of doing this so that I can keep all movies in the one .fla file?
I appreciate the help, thanks!
Calling Flash Movie From VB App.
I have a question about using a Flash movie as the screen splash for a Visual Basic application. Basically, how can I do that? I've searched Google and on Flashkit but could not find the answer. I've tried a few things like publishing my movie to an excutable (exe) file and then using the VB Shell command. The problem here is the code in my VB app begins immediately after the Shell command starts execution. There is a Flash component in VB but I've not been able to figure out how to make that work. Any help is appreciated.
TIA
Calling A Movie Clip
This is hard to explain, I apologise if it's been covered, if it has, I can't find it.
Anyway,
I created my normal navigation bar out of buttons. When one of the buttons is 'clicked', I want a second navigation bar to pop up elsewhere on the screen. To keep the site simple, I want to make the movie clip for the second navigation bar seperate from the first. How do I get the first navigation button to 'call' another navigation bar.
Thanks

Calling Movie Clips?
its been a long while since i've used flash, in fact its my first tiem with MX, before i was working with Flash5.
I'm looking to call an instance of a MC when clicking a button, to give a rollover effect for the button, then after rolling out it plays the 2nd animation of the effect disappearing, kinda like Button #1 here:
http://www.jpsnetwork.com/hosted/jas...ton_tests.html
however, i want to do it so that when i rollover, its not in the same MC, i want to call an instance of those lines,
if i remember correctly, in flash5 it would be:
_root.lines.gotoAndPlay(2);
but this is not working in MX, can anybody help me?
thanks

Calling A Function From Within A Movie
Howdy!
I need to be able to call a centrally defined function within a movie clip that is playing within a movie clip.
Here is what I have tried: In the main timeline i have a whole level to itself that only contains
ActionScript Code:
function functioname(){
script;
}
. And then a MC is loaded that has another MC in it. It is within this second MC that I want to call the previously defined script. Here is how I am trying it
ActionScript Code:
onclipevent(load){
functioname();
}
, and it does not seem to work.
Do i need to be using a _parent or _root tag? Or am i totally going about this the wrong way.
Cheers

Calling A Variable From Within A Movie Clip
the answer to this question must be simple and i have made a hard honest attempt to find the answer myself. i cant find it in the book i have so i was wondering if u ppl could help me out.
i have several scenes and the first one loads and the user can click one of 5 links done, and then it takes them to another scene with another navbar. what i want to do is assign a variable to the scene thats says what scene(or page) it is, i need this so i can use it in a if else statement in the nav bar mc code to figure out which scene is loaded, that way a user clicking the same button as the page he or she is on will not have any effect. i need the actionscript for it.
oh yeah btw, i stopped writing this message twice cause of ideas i had that might work, and guess what, they didn't i really need your help
thankx in advance.

Movie Clip Calling Scences
I have created a drop and drag movie clip menu system which on it's drop down menu has a series of options which by using invisible buttons link to other scenes within my movie.
However the when i use any of the following code it completely ignores the scene command but does recognise the frame command
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("inspiration", 1);
}
or
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("inspiration", 1);
}
Any ideas?
Calling A Root Scene From Within A Movie
I have created 2 scenes (scene1, scene2)
Inside scene1 I have placed a movie.
Withing that movie I have a button that must run scene2.
I have tried using

_root.gotoAndPlay ("scene2", 1);
but all these seem to do is jump me to the first frame of scene2.
How do I get scene3 to run.
My whole navigation depends on it (as well as my sanity)
I will idolise anyone who can help me.
Calling Movie Clip Methods
My movie has one simple movieclip. it simply has one function defined on its timeline:
function test() {
trace("hello silly")
}
The clip's linkage is set to "test". I then instantiate the clip in the main movie timeline:
attachMovie("test", "test1", 0)
This is cool. However, calling the function with:-
test1.test()
on the main timeline doesnt work. I've read through Moock's ASDG pages 314,5 which appear to say I'm doing the right thing.
Anybody care to help please, Ive tried everything!

}
action does not work. Anyone had any experience with calling movie scenes from buttons located within a movie clip?
In help would be great....I have tried _root. and _level0. syntex.

Load Movie And Calling Variables
I have a projector flash movie which is getting to big to run on the hyper-powerfull computers we have at work so then then I thought that I could break my flash file (.exe) into smaller ones and use the load and unloadmovie actions to make it run better.
The thing is, I have some dynamic && input text boxes that are set by the user in the very first frame of the first scene and they have to be used on every scene in order for the calculations to work.
- Can I call a variable that is within another flash file into the main flash file????
How would I do that? First of all, this flash file must be published as a stand alone flash movie (.exe file). So, do I break the main file into smaller .exe ones?? Or just the main one as .exe and the rest of them as .swf????? What about the variables???
Tks for your help!!
Calling Vars From Within Movie Clips?
If I set a var on the main stage (i.e. _level0), how can I access it and read its data from within a movie clip? I've tried calling it from within a tell_target ("_level0") command but it still can't find the var, only on the main stage.
By the way this is Flash 4. Have MX but this needs to be done in v. 4.
Help anxiously required and appreciated, and thanks to all who helped before.

Calling Out Movie Clips-won't Reappear
Flash MX:
sorry for cross-posting need...help...bad.
i need a MC to appear when i click on a button and to disappear when i click on the CLOSE button within the MC.
On first click the MC appeared, fine. Problem is, after i've clicked on the CLOSE button to close the MC, the MC refuse to reopen when i try to click on it.
i use this code on the button to call out the MC:
on (release) {
aboutus._visible = true;
gotoAndPlay("aboutus");
}
And this one on the CLOSE button to close the MC:
on(release) {
this.gotoAndplay("fade");
}
the button that calls out the MC just would not work after the first click. whar went wrong?

On my menu button in the menu_mc I have this:
Code:
on (release) {
//////////////////////
for (var i in _root) {
if (typeof (_root[i]) == "movieclip") {
removeMovieClip(_root[i]);
}
}
///////////////////////////////
//stopAllSounds();
_root.fadeBGAudio(0, _root.bgsound);
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Calling Functions In A Loaded Movie
Hello,
As an intern I am working on a project, and for that project I have to create a simple interface.
Now I have created a movieclip with all actionscript, that is necessary. I want to use this movieclip in another movie with the loadMovie function (maybe via a moviecliploader would be better, but I don't know that yet).
Let's say I have a function getPoints() in this movieclip.
What I would like is to know I can call this function (that is in the loaded mc) with a button, that is in the movieclip the the mc is loaded into. I have been searching for an example with the syntax I have to use, but I can't find anything.
Hope this is clear enough.
Regards,
Jorrit
