Container Issue

Container Issue
I have a crazy issue here.

I have a nav that loads external mc's into an empty container. The mc's are slide shows for different houses. Each has a manual back/ next function aswell as a auto function. The homes are called from an xml file. Anyway the issue is the auto function. If a user clicks the auto fuction it works as it should but once they load a different home the auto function is already rollin on that mc. The manual button is engaged but its still on auto??

http://crowell.cc/index2.html

Go to portfolio->book one and click on the first image click auto then go back to book one and click on the second image. Here you’ll see my problem.

Is there a way to cancel each previous actionscript after each mc is loaded? Or some other solution??

Here is the link for the files....a little big but it includes the images called from the xml file so you can get an idea of how it should work. The only (Homes) images that are functional are top 3 in book 1.
http://crowell.cc/kirupa.zip

Hope my files dont scare you! Ive included the fla for the stub, portfolio detail or book one and the fla that calls the xml to load each house.

Thanks!!!!

Any other critiques welcome!

[F8] Complicated Loadmovie Container Issue
I'm new to this, I have a flash movie which I call interface.swf. which is basically layed out like this:

I can click on the buttons to load various flash movies into the movieclip named "moviecontainer" within the interface.swf. Everything works fine, I use the code:


PHP Code:




loadMovie("movies/100.swf", "/moviecontainer");







My problem arises when I try to load a movie which has actionscript referring to _root. For example, a movie I want to load has this:

PHP Code:




_root.onMouseDown = function ()






I figured I would have to do something like this to adapt the movie to the container:

PHP Code:




_root.moviecontainer.onMouseDown = function ()






but that doesn't work because its needs to be "/moviecontainer" not "moviecontainer"
Is there a way around this? Would I even be able to use mouse actions in a movie I loaded into another movieclip?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Stop Movie /container Clip Issue
Hello Again,

I would love if wehn I press the play/pause button I have in my movie to stop playing.

I have 19 swf files (the stop button is each one) that have been loaded into a container clip.

this is the code I have:

on (release) {
_root.stop();
_root.container_mc.stop();
if (musicplay == true) {
p = Math.round(x.position/1000);
x.stop();
musicplay = false;
} else {
x.start(p, 0);
musicplay = true;
_root.container_mc.play();
}
}

it's not working.

any help is appreciated.

Grid Layout Issue: (next / Previous / Clear Container)
Greetings again,

i have this AS2.0 gridlayout code i once wrote, which works perfectly
but since i am trying to learn AS3.0 some things aren't clear for me.

first off all:

how comes my iteration of the next/previous batch doesn't work:
it seems it cast succesfuly the first 4 items, and the "next" button appears, yet
when you click on it. the nextbatch function triggers, but the "previous button does not appear. this does! work when i put in the for loop instead of increment = my_total.length
but then ofcourse i see all items from the xml instead of my desired increment

secondly:
how do i clear my casted items, so that the results are updated? and thus my clips don't get stacked on the stage.
see the clearMenu() function for this.

heres my code, if needed i'll post the source, if this is too abstract.
I am sure i am overlooking some silly things here again, as the code nearly works like a charm, just the two pointers i mentioned.

Thanks in advance

I Can Import Swf Files Into A Container But Not Put Symbols Into A Container
I can import swf files into a container but not put symbols into a container.


Code:
on(release) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc", 100);
this.holder_mc._x = this.holder_mc._y = 0;
this.holder_mc.loadMovie("kanjiFlash.swf");
}
How do I get a symbol in the library to put itself into a movie clip like above when I press a symbol, on the main scene?

Loading A Container Inside A Container...
I just did the "Transitions Between Swf's Tutorial", i basically understood how it works and got everything to work right, but now my next question is how can i load another container using the same technique as the tutorial shows into the exsiting container. Basically load a container inside a container.

I tried doing it by using the same idea as the tutorial but the swf that i am trying to load in the new container wont load.

I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you!

Swf W/container Loading Into Container On...
I have a MC with a container that loads external swf's. Is it possible to make one of these external swf's with a container that loads other swf's in its container too? Basically I want to load swf's in a external swf. Man, this is confusing to explain.

---

Which Is The Container ?
here is an instance first

personA=

test1 : function(){ trace (this.site1) }, test2 : function(){ trace (this.name ) } }, test3: function(){ trace (this.name ) }, test4: function(){ trace (this.site1) }
};

I feel confused that which container is the "this" pointing to ??? the favs ???

How To Use One Mc As Container For More Using
I update one of my old Flash site and tink about how to use one mc for multiple using.

In attached FLA is very simple example.
I used this mc many times and changed at that time manually on last frame every time the content of my 2 text fields.
It was very impractical.

Now I think about how to use those same mc if I need every time change only the value of my text fields.
I load variables and now I need only change the content of the text fields if the user clicks different menu btn.

Sure exist any practical progress how to make it.

Thank you.

Container Within Container
Could you take a look at my project. I've got: about, portfolio, and clients loading into an empty container which worked fine until i added a page 1 and page 2 container within the main container. Now the page 1 and 2 of portfolio work but not the main links of the site. I think its getting confused because i have a container within a container.

How can i get away with having a container within a container?


Thanks I appreciate your time.

Container Help
Hi all.

Beware, I'm very new still to AS3, AS ing general really.

Let's say I want to animate a spider using tweens. I have a movie clip for each part, body, eyes, legs. Coming from a 3D background, I would group the components or use constraints to hold them all together, so that when I move the body, the rest will follow. I can then use tweens to make the legs and eyes rotate randomly.

However, I have no idea how to do this in AS3. I thought I could use Containers, but can't figure that out. I thought I would be able to simply state that spiderEye.y = spiderBody.y; but that seems to only kind of work (the eye follows, but is always one tween behind!).

Any help on how I could make one movieclip follow another, whilst using the caurina tween library, would really help me out (and stop me drinking so much coffee, therefore increasing my chance of living longer!).

Take care, Andrew.

Container In Container
Hi,

On my main stage I load an external swf file into a container named "container". In this swf file I have buttons to load another external swf file into a container in the first external swf file, named "container2".
Nothing happens when I push these buttons.

My code for loading the first external swf file:

on (release){
_root.container.loadMovie ("deschool.swf");
}

My code for loading the second external swf file:

on (release){
_root.container2.loadMovie ("voorwoord.swf");

Can someone help me please?

Container Clips?
So, I asked this question a while back and someone answered with what appeared to be pretty specific instructions....but apparently I am an idiot. I still need help. Here is what I want to do:

I have a website interface of mostly vector shapes. It's a fast load. I have a text menu. When user clicks on a specific text item, I want the coontent for that item to then load (at click time) in a sqaure box I have within the movie. for each text item clicked, a new movie loads within that box. Does that make sense? A lot of sites do this but I cannot figure out how to do it without creating duplicate scenes and adding the specfic box content for each one which I know is the most bandwidth expensive way to do it.

Anyhoo, the person who tried to help me last time said soemthing about container clips. He mentioned registration points, and giving it an instance name. If you help me with the same solution (container clips), then please explain in monkey terms what thehell each of those things are. Thanks a million for helping a slow learning flash monkey.

Loading In Container Help
Hey Kids,

OK, here's the situation:

I have a main swf file calling another swf file into a container movie for a gallery.

The swf file being called has _root stuff on it, so I worked the _global variable on it, and everything is working fine.

Until I load it into the gallery, then the button on the loaded swf file no longer works. I think I am missing something.

code on loaded swf button:

Code:
on (press) {
myAppMain.clip.gotoAndPlay(2);
myAppMain.clip.fall.text = myAppMain.clip.nofall.text;
myAppMain.clip.nofall.text = "Dance Elements";
gotoAndStop(2);
}


and yes, the global setup (_global.myAppMain = this is in the main timeline. My question is, does there have to be something in the main movie file? Here's the code on the button calling the loaded swf file:

Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("flashwork/danceele.swf", "_parent.flash");
}

the _parent is there because the main swf file is also loaded into <i>another</i> swf file which is the real movie, but means nothing to us for this example. The container movie is called "flash".

Any help is really appreciated.

Loading Swf's Into A Container...
after my first attempt at a flash site (which turned out ok), i have taken on a new project. In this project, i decided to save load time and go with the multiple .swf file tack. My basic architecture will be an 800x600 movie, with menu bar that stays with the movie the entire time. my question (s) are as follows...

when i loadmovie, how do i control where the thing plays. I want it to fit in a "window" that is on the stage...
will i be able to attach multiple commands to the buttons to unload the movie just watched, or do i need to simply load each one once when it is called...
finally, when i have the other .swf designed, should i plan on them being the same size as the "window", or can i code them to work in whatever size i want...

Thanks for taking a look and helping out...

Problems With Container
Hi!

I have a movie that loads external images to a mc. in a forward frame i have a ScrollPane component with a scroll bar that contains the mc with images.
My problem is when the movie stops in the container it shows me the ScrollPane and the images appear as they are loaded to the movie but the scroller don't apear.
If i run the movie as standard it works fine (the scroll apears), but if i run it in a browser it seems not work. I think the problem is because the load images...

I aprecciate any sugestions...

Container Preloader - Is It Possible?
I currently have a movie in the form of an interface which has several empty movie clip containers each at some point have an external swf loaded into using code similar to the following:

btnProceed.onPress = function():Void {
if (_root.root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "h2";
_root.activity.loadMovie("flashmx/h2.swf");
} else if (_root.root.currMovie != "h2") {
if (_root.root.activity._currentframe >= _root.root.activity.midframe) {
_root.root.currMovie = "h2";
_root.root.activity.play();
}
}
}

The above code is loading a movie called h2.swf into a container called activity located on the main interface timeline.

I would like to be able to place a simple preloader on the container "activity" itself to check the filesize of the h2.swf or any other external swf's loaded in to it and present the user with a progress bar until the movie has loaded and obviously play the loaded movie when successfully loaded.

This would be useful as the "activity" container will have about 50 individual swf's loaded into it, so placing a preloader on every one seems a bit overkill and not very efficient.

Can this be done?
Can someone please provide me with an example or tell me how this can be done?

Hi I am trying to understand the loading of a jpg in a container movie. the code I am using is as below but it always positions at top left. Does anybody know how I can centre the two. It would be good to understand how I could position in different places - there must be standard formulae for positioning but I cannot locate any.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._width += (_root.container._width-this._width);
this._height += (_root.container._height-this._height);
this._x += (_root.container._x-this._x);
this._y += (_root.container._y-this._y);
}

Regards Barry

Container Isue
Hello I have a few questions. This is how I made a container for an extrnal movie clip :

this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_1",0);
mc_1.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",99);
mc_1.container_mc._y = 300;
mc_1.container_mc._x = 0;
//mc_1.container_mc._width = 746;
//mc_1.container_mc._height = 500;
var n:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
n.loadClip("brokers.swf",mc_1.container_mc);



Ok now what I want to do is to load the movie in the container, and only be 746/500 ...and only that part visible. What am I doing wrong ?

This doesn't work " mc_1.container_mc._width = 746;
mc_1.container_mc._width = 746; "



Thanks

Container Problem
Hi Guys i have a container that has this code attached to it:


Code:
loadMovie("demo_01.swf", container);
container._x = 5;
container._y = 20;
stop();
and demo_01.swf is 790 x 574 in dimensions and the container fits it in but some parts of it are slightly out of shape or compressed as if it can't fit it in. Also some things jump when they're smooth in the sctual swf.

Any ideas?

Thanks (in advance!)

Alignment Using Container MC
Hey all,

I'm making a slideshow and I'm loading external jpgs into a container Movieclip. My issue is that I have landscape and portrait shots and I want both types of pics to be centered. I know that the little circle thing in the container MC corresponds with the upper left corner of the JPG, but is there a way to change this correspondence? If the circle could corresponded to the top center of the JPG my problem would be solved. If this can't be changed, can anyone offer any solutions for the slideshow?

Thanks,

Danny

Can You Animate A Container?
Already posted rephrasing the question

I want to have a contact form swf loaded into the main swf animate in. But instead of animating the swf to be loaded, would like to some how animate the container (slide in from the side) and the loaded swf follow suite. I tried it but it does not seem to work the swf loads at the end of the tween.

Since the forms information gets loaded into a database, if I tried animating the forms swf I lose functionality ie; inputs dont get loaded and other issues.
