How Do I Make Different Things Load Later During A Flash Movie?
Hey guys,
I have a question... for a website Im making, the whole site is a single flash movie--for this reason, everything in my site loads at the same time. All the images on all the different pages have to load at the beggining of the movie, since the whole movie is loaded at once. I was wondering how I can make it so images (etc) only load when the page they are on is visited. Thanks for the help.

How To Load Things Like Html/php Into Flash Movie?
Hi.
i've been recently trying to create a new website made entirely of flash, but I've been encountering some problems.
I wanted the flash to perhaps load an external news document made via HTML or PHP for easy access/upload/updateability, but I really don't know how to load it into a Flash file with perhaps scrollers etc.
Can anyone help me?

(ps this is one of the craziest flash webpages i ahve ever seen it raises my CPU temp to 65C from 61C!!!)

Trying To Make A Movie Clip Cover Things Behind It
I've create a listbox and have a custom dialog (movie clip) that opens from a menu when clicking 'file->new' for example. I've noticed that the UI list box behind the open movie clip highlights items in it regardless of having a movie clip load over top of it.
This also applies to any movie clip with onRollOver or button symbols. Even though a move clip (image, shape, whatever) is overtop or partially overtop of a roll over object it still activates roll over functions.
I'd like to mask or cover all object behind. For example if opening a custom dialog, I may want to cover the entire stage preventing usage of any other item until the user has completed working with the dialog box thats open.
I hope this is clearer than mud. Thanks!
Does It Make Things Easier To Plan Things Out Before Programming?
I know this may seem like a stupid question, but as a Actionscript beginner i'd like to know if its easier to plan things out before hand. Basically i've got to make a Class that does the following:
- Creates a shape with a size and colour defined by values passed through the constructor
- the initial position of the shape should be passed to the constructor
- the horizontal vertical speed should be passed to the constructor
- the initial direction (up or down) should be passed through to the constructor
- the shape should reverse direction on "impact" with the stage top and bottom.
Now i want to make the thing itself, but i think im going to struggle. unless i make a really decent plan of the class. so can anybody recommend what the best way to plan out this is?
if anyone can help, i'd appreciate it - if not, no worries.

How To Make Things Resizeable?
I'm using Flash MX for the first time for creating a simple scene. The thing is, when I resize my scene window, its contents don't resize... I know that flash allows this because i've seen it before. How do I say that a particular document (or scene) uses vectorial graphics allowing me to see the size of the document acording to the size of my window?
Thanks in advance.

Transparencies Make Things Slower On Mac?
i've known for some time that having a lot of animations with transparent objects make things slower. the project i'm working on now is 750x550 and has transparent window selected on the publish settings so that the background of the html page will show through.
after testing several times on several different computers, everything seems to go fine. nothing slows down or anything like that. - that is until i tested it on my mac the next day. it must have gone 1/5th of the speed it took on a pc. i check on another mac at the office and it was slow as well.
i have tested multiple browsers as well on each machine and they all reveal consistent results... macs are slower than pcs. everything runs fine when the background isn't transparent though.
has anyone else noticed this? if so, is there any better way to get the same results?
your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How To Make Things Change From One Loaded Swf To Another?
So i have my flash file, im making the scenes into individual SWFs that i will load into my main swf. Each page of my site will be its own swf. One HTML page.
I wanted a bar element to change colors, a text box to change its size, and an image to fade in and out. All this seamlessly from page to page, and with actionscript. I just dont know where to start. Would i need to fool with listeners?
im just not sure how to build the whole thing basically.
I know how to do the actionscript tweens. So i can use that for the color and size of the respective elements.
Sorry im such a noob.

Using Cue Point To Make Things Happen?
Hi
I am having the following problem:
I have set up a movie with a video display component which imports an flv. I have set several cue points in the properties, the first one being "tvStatic". Which when encountered I want to hide, move, alpha=0, (any thing will do) a movie clip called tvStatic.
Alas nothing happens, the cue point is found and the if statement is satisfied, but my tvStatic refuses to budge. I am using the following code. Can anybody help?
myObj=new Object();
myObj.cuePoint=function(p){
trace("received sync cue point named: "+ p.target.name);
if(p.target.name=="tvStatic") {
tvStatic.gotoAndStop("end");
trace("it works!!")
}
}
myMedia.addEventListener("cuePoint", myObj);

How To Make A Movie Load Another Movie Into It's Own Clip?
hey all,
I have a site with a container clip which all other content loads into. When one movie loads, it has a button that I'd like to be able to click to go to another page in the site (ie. unload it's parent movie and load another swf into the same container clip.
Does that make sense?
How can I address the parent container clip and tell it to unload this movie and load another swf into it?
Is this possible?
thanks!
Different Object Names Make It Do Diff. Things...
I wrote a script in flash 5 that moves an object with the arrow keys that worked fine when i first tested it on an object called "bar" but which doesnt work when i make it part of an array. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is because the movie continously jumps between two frames and every second frame the movie checks to see if any of the arrow keys are down and if one is in increments the x or y coordinate of the object. The problem is that at the end of the if statement in automatically decrements the x or y coordinate.
The script is something like this:
if(Key.UP) {
_root.object._y += 5;
}
gotoAndPlay(5);
And this worked fine for a while but when i tried to get it to work with an object in an array it quit working alltogether.
Please Help!!!
