How Make IN And OUT Transitions Between Flash Movies?
Hi guys!
Here is the thing: usually, I build my web-sites using a root swf movie which loads external swf movies using the loadmovie command through navigation buttons. Thus, in order to have a transition (or effect, like a fade-in) in the start of the loaded movie, all that I have to do is put an effect on the beginning of its timeline. When the button loads the external movie, it has an effect on its timeline and the fade-in is presented. This is a no-brainer...
However, let´s say that I will load another movie and, before this one gets loaded I want the first one to fade-out (or any other effect)... How would I make it... I can´t put the effect on the timeline ´cause the loadmovie command has to be on the buttons...
I think the best way to do it is apply the effect in the timeline of the container movie (in which the external swf is loaded)... Something like this: Whenever I click on a button, the container movieclip goes to frame x (which has the tweeing effect) and once the tweening is done it loads another movie into the container MovieClip.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks in advance.

How Do I Make Flash Movies Super Smooth?
I've seen some really smooth animations on the web and I was wondering what I need to do to make my movies animate smoothly too. Do I only need to bump up the framerate? I know scene complexity is something to consider. I guess what I'm looking for are some guidelines to making animations smooth. I have flash MX by the way.
Here's an exampleAEM website

How Do I Make Lower Level Flash Movies Inactive?
I have a problem,
I am creating a Flash multimedia piece. I have my main stage and various external movie files loaded in on different levels. I want to be able to have 'info' boxes appear on request, which load in another movie file over the top of everything else. The problem is, I don't want the links on the movies below to be active through the 'info' box. Does anyone know a way to make the Flash movies below inactive? Once the 'info' window has been closed I need the inactive links/movies to revert to active.
I hope this makes sense.

What Is The Best Flash Program To Make Stick Figure(death+kungfu Style) Movies?
My topic says it all: What is the best flash program to make stick figure(death+kungfu style) movies?
Since I'm using 3d Flash Animator, and all the places I goto use just Flash 5 frame-by-frame animations, were as i've been using this other style in 3d FA which goes cruddy most of the time. So I just want everybody to tell me what is the best program+ plugins if there are ones which make making stick movies easier. Thanks

How Do I Make A Preloader For My Movies?
I know the tweens, the sounds, the movie controls and all that jazz, but I have no clue how to make a preloader. Is this a simple task or does it require a lot of work? I would like to know just how to syncronise the loading animation with the progress, and also if there are any templates on this site (I can't find any). Thanks for the help.

Make Movies Play Sequentially, Then Stop.
Hey, I've never quite been able to get programming down, but I'm always trying. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
I'm using Flash MX.
Basically, I want them to click a button, and one by one leaves will move of the screen. I just want to name the leaves "fallingLeaf1", "fallingLeaf2, "fallingLeaf3" and so forth, and keep going sequentially up the numbers until there are no fallingLeafs left.
Here is the code:
Code:
on (release) {
var i;
i = "0";
var leafMarker;
leafMarker = "leafMarker1";
var frameMarker;
frameMarker = "1";
do {
i = i+1;
leafMarker = "_root.fallingLeaf"+i;
frameMarker = leafMarker._currentframe;
if (frameMarker=2) {
tellTarget (leafMarker) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
} while (i!=2);

.FLV Files : 1-where Are They On Int Temp Folder ? 2-how To Make Flvs Movies ?
Quote:
1-
My question concerns about the video streaming flash files , extension .flv , which cannot be retrieved directly from the IE7 temporary Internet files ;
I´ve turned that folder head over heel but couldn´t find any .flv file as I am used to scavenge the browser cache and do with other extensions ;
What can be found are very long urls like :
(http://youtube.com/player2.swf?hl=en...utube.com/&vid eo_id=IOd_5ZRPmFs&l=179&t=OEgsToPDskJKFyDOavZ1s58f 8VnMwNU7&soff=1&sk=ZklGzv2kMbUjj_Qrv588rwU ) ;
I noticed that a recently visualized flv by means YOUTUBE , 4 days after visualization , when I got back to that URL was played at once , without the need of downloading it again;
That means the file was already somewhere on my disk.
In order to retrieve the files I have to paste URL at retrieve sites like http://kej.tw/flvretriever/ , or use Orbit Downloader ;
I got really curious where are the files and how work such sites .
Quote:
2- where can I find tutorials on how to make flv movies ??
Thank you very much

Controlling Flash Movies From Within Other Flash Movies, Contained With Frames...
ok, the title was a bit of a mouthful but hey, i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this problem :
i know how to control content being loaded into frames, from within a flash movie (using get url) but, i'm not sure how to go about calling various parts of a flash movie that is situated within a different frame with the html page, from the one it's being called from.
so, for example, say i have a set of buttons within one flash movie, that when clicked moves the timeline in the other flash movie (within a different frame) to frame 5 or whatever. see what i mean?
would it be something like this?
on (release) {
getURL("name of html page.html", "name of lable/ number of frame within timeline", "name of frame flash movie is contained within");
}

Making A News Slider Just Liek In The Yahoo Movies Site.. How Can You Make It Switch?
hey all.
I recently got a app from flashden.net for my site www.freshbasilcrew.com
I don't know how to post the SWF file here, so just check otu the site, and you can see it on the main page, towards the top. It displays 4 news stories, with a picture on the right side that you can click to go to the page.
Very similar to the one on the Yahoo site found here: http://movies.yahoo.com/
However, mines does not switch stories automatically. It just sits there, and the user has to click each story blurb.
How can I make it so it switches every few seconds?Might be something simple I can just code in, but I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Movies - Using Actionscript To Add Movies "FLV" To Flash
Hi Friends,
I am new to Flash streaming and progressive downloading. I tried to
follow the steps mentioned in Flash MX 2004 professional version
tutrials to add movies to flash presentation.
I used the Video object and entered the following codes to Frame 1 -
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
netStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
status_txt.text += "Status (NetStream)" + newline;
status_txt.text += "Level: "+infoObject.level + newline;
status_txt.text += "Code: "+infoObject.code + newline;
};
my_video.attachVideo(netStream);
trace(my_video.totalTime);
netStream.setBufferTime(5);
netStream.play("test.flv");
The above code is working fine when in Flash authoring mode but when
I try to run this from any IIS setup.. using widndows 2000 IIS as the
platform.. http://abc... then it is not running.
The Netstream status is showing - Status (NetStream)
Level: status
Code: NetStream.Play.Start
Status (NetStream)
Level: status
Code: NetStream.Buffer.Full
It is giving the above result from the authoring mode but showing
error when run through the IIS. The time is showing as undefined.
I am not using any communication server, it is said you don't need it.
I would request the members to please help me out of this..
I tried the same with the Media Playback component.. but got the same
results.
Please help and advise.
Thank you.

Loading Movies Inside Other Movies In An Ext Movie Holder?
Here's one for you:
I've got my main movie that has a movie holder on it (entitled movieholder.) The buttons on the left control what goes in the movie holder. In one of the movies there is a list of songs that are actually buttons. These buttons call up another movie(with MP3s). How do I get the MP3 movies to go into "movieholder" when they are being called by a button inside 'movieholder'
I'm using MX
Hope that made a slight bit of sense!
Thanks for any help,

Trouble Creating Reverse Rollover Movies Within Movies
Hey ooh my first post.
I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?
Sorry for the poor explantion, any ideas?

Loading Movies Into Movies With Scroll Bars O_O
I have a site where I'm showcasing my talents (Obviously figuring scripting out won't be one of them) and I load movies into the central area by using simple commands, and it all works. Now I need to have of of those movie to scroll around, because I'm showcasing banners and have more than 400 pixels of height can fit.
I was thinking of using the same textField system that I used for my news section, but replacibng the textField part was a different thing for Movies.
There's got to be an easier way though. Can anyone help me?

Ummm... Loading Movies Inside Movies.... Help?
I posted a question about this a month or so ago, but now (I've had to work out problems on other sites in the meantime) I'm totally ready to figure this out!
I have a VERY large Flash Web site. So, it was suggested that I chop up the site into a few smaller movies. From there, I would set up a main page with a ["target"?] movie clip nested in it. Then, when a button has been pushed, the corresponding swf loads inside the movie clip. I think I can handle that... (although a nice tutorial would be great!)
The problem I'm having is... These swf's can be 'called' from each other, meaning the same buttons will be in each movie. However, the buttons will trigger different frames in each movie, depending on which movie you're already in. I'm betting this is confusing...
EXAMPLE: Every page has 4 buttons, "Who We Are", "Success Stories", "Portfolio", and "Contact". From the Home page you can push any of these buttons and it will go to the first frame of the corresponding movie and a quick, little animation displays as it takes you into the page. That's great. The problem is that, if you were in the "Who We Are" page and clicked "Contact" it should NOT go to Frame 1 of that movie... It should go to Frame 30, because there is a specific animation that connects "Who We Are" to "Contact" that is not the same as the connection animaton between "Home" to "Who We Are". So how do I get the code to be more specific?
HELP!

Dynamically Loading Movies Into Movies With Variables
This might be a kinda tough one. I'll explain the best that I know how.
I want to load jpg images into a movie/button (movie clip with a button instance inside of it with another movie clip inside the button), but I need to do it dynamically.
I was thinking about naming all of the files the same but just change the numbering at the end. Then I can just use an i value to obtain the next file.
Code:
for(i=1;i<5;i++){
loadMovie("something"+i+".jpg","mv_btn_"+i)
}
so, basically I have 5 buttons with 5 images to import. The buttons already have the proper numbers on them, I just need to import the clips into the corresponding button.

Sound Linkage When Loading Movies Into Movies
I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far I haven’t been able to figure out how without breaking the sound. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrated With Loading Movies Inside Movies.
Ok here's my sight:
http://www.fantim.org/811/index2.html
This is my second attempt at making an all flash site. I got two questions.
1. Lets say I have three movies. Movie1.swf Movie2.swf and Movie3.swf
Movie1.swf has Movie2.swf loaded inside of it. Is there anyway to make Movie2.swf load Movie3.swf inside Movie1.swf ? Does that make sence?
2. Is there anyway to load only certian parts of a movie into another movie? For example:
I have this file http://www.fantim.org/fantimshow/movies/movies.swf (Don't mind the chopiness of it) As you can see it has excess stuff on the sides. Is there anyway to load this within another movie without showing this excess stuff?
Any help would be appreciated.
