Flash :: Load Movie Problem

Does Load Movie LOAD Entire Movie, How Can I Stream It?
i have a load movie loading my music. I have a preloader at the front of my music, but i dont think the preloader is working on load movie. Does the load movie command download the whole movie into cache, or does it just start playing the movie.

IE.. if i have a 5 meg mp3 that i wanna dled and listen to, is it just downloading the whole thing, until the movie is loaded, and then playing, or is it streaming it in?

i tried to make a preloader for it, but it looks like the preloader just instantly zooms across... how can i show status of this movie loading?

thanks

External Movie Will Not Load, But Does Load When I Use 'test Movie'?
I had my external movies loading wonderfully then all of a sudden one of the externals (that I use 'loadmovie' on) will not load? The weird thing is that when I test my movie using 'test movie' in my main movie, it works fine, but when I go to my staging (test) site: www.gbebos.com/Liz/Hit.htm the one movie in 'Earth elements' page will not load, but the other movies i.e. 'Crystal Elegance' and 'Silver Essence' work fine. I made sure that the .swf and .html were transfered to the domain and they are both there.

Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again to ya all at Flashkit!

Chromeless Windows That Open On Movie Load Or Load Of Html Page (Flash Ad Kit)
Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me out in creating these flash ads that appear out of nowhere. I see them mostly on rediffmail, yahoo and about.com.
I know how to create a popup window on button click, but how you do that without a button.

There's another dimension of ads nowadays. They are the transparent ads. They really look cool. Could someone with this knowledge pleeeeeeeeese help me out. I urgently need to create these ads.

Scrollpane - Load Swf - Load Movie Symbol Controled By Buttons And Variables?
Ok i have searched the board, and racked my brain and read hundreads of bit and pieces. So far 'not happy jan'. Anyhow I thought well I shall start a thread where first I ask a question of 'can it be done' then go away try and do it and if fail 'ask how to do it' or if suceed then say 'how i did it'. Of course all questions are going to relate back to this original post so no new threads need to be started. Anyhow onto my question!!

I have a website I want to make. so I started... called it 'site.swf'. now site.swf has a scrollpane in it called 'content'.

Now I have also created 'home.swf' which has 2 movie symbols in it. one called 'homein' the other 'homeout'.

'Homein' is located in frame1 of home.swf and 'homeout' is located in frame2.

When site.swf loads I want to load home.swf into 'content' and home.swf plays 'homein'.

When the user clicks on the first button (in site.swf) 'content' plays 'homeout' before loading 'button1.swf' into 'content' and playing 'button1in'

see the pattern forming. Now I am sure this has been asked thousands of times, but I haven't found it once. At least in a form that is easy to understand.

Now can this method be done, or do i need to go away and rethink it. (my main reason for loading external.swf's is because i wish to preload where needed).

If all this can be done tell me now... I am sure I need to use 2 variables.... 'loadedmovie' and 'tobeloaded' to communiticate with 'content' and to follow the users clicks of buttons.

Thanks for any help.

Movie Taking Long Time To Load, Needs To Load Faster

(mx) Transfering Actions Which Load With Movie To Load When Button Is Pressed
hi,

I have some code which draws a line when the mouse is pressed (to when it is released)

This code is within an object, loads when the movie starts and works fine:

Code:

// ***** Set some opening parameters
onClipEvent (load) {
// Make original line invisible
_root.line._visible = 0;
// Initiate some variables
number_lines = 0;
line_active = 0;
}
// ***** Every time the mouse button is released...
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
// Get the position of the mouse
origin_x = _xmouse;
origin_y = _ymouse;
// Increase the number of lines by one
number_lines++;
// Generate a new line name
name = "line"+number_lines;
// Duplicate a new line
_root.line.duplicateMovieClip(name,number_lines);
// Position the line's end point at mouse position
_root[name]._x = origin_x;
_root[name]._y = origin_y;
// Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse - origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse - origin_y;
// If this is the start of a new shape
if (!line_active) {
// Set the line tracking variable
line_active = 1;
// Set the start point of the new shape
start_x = origin_x;
start_y = origin_y;
}
}

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
line_active = 0;
}

// ***** Every time the mouse is moved
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
// If there's a line currently being drawn...
if (line_active) {
// Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse - origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse - origin_y;
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
I want the user to press a button before this code is usable - just as with any drawing program.

How do i go about telling the code only to start when the button has been pressed?

thanks,

jeff

Load A Flash Movie To A Random Frame Each Load
I have created a flash file that fades from one picture to the next. However, I would like to find an actionscipt that will allow the flash movie to load to different each time the page is visited/refreshed. That way visitors don't have to see the same image each time the visit the my page, but can still sit and watch all of them if they want. Also I would want to be able to specify which frames are available for load. That way the page will always load at the begining of each image animation... not right in the middle of it switching to the next image.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Load A Flash Movie To Specified Random Frames Each Load
Group:
I am trying to find a Actionscript where I can specify random frames and have the movie randomly load to the specified frames each time the page is viewed. The below scrip was given last time I posted this question, but it doesn't seem to load at the specified frames. Sometimes it does, sometimes it load right in the middle of an animation. You can see in the code below I would like the movie to load at frames 1, 116, 231, 346. Any suggestions?

_____________________________________________________

Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
for (var ivar = this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = random(ivar+1);
var t = this[ivar];
this[ivar] = this[p];
this[p] = t;
}
};
ASSetPropFlags(Array.prototype, ["shuffle"], 1, 1);
var Array_ar:Array = new Array(1, 116, 231, 346);
Array_ar.shuffle();
index = 0;
function load_random() {
gotoAndPlay(Array_ar[index++]);
if (index == Array_ar.length) {
(index=0);

Load, Unload, Load... Will The Movie Need To Download Again?
hi,

I have a quick question about loadMovie and unloadMove...

If I load an external movie (section 1), lets say its 200k, and then unload it when the user moves to another section (section 2).

When returning to section 1, when the external movie is called to load, will it need to redownload? Or is it saved in some type of cache area?

any help or a point to a resource would be great.

Load Variable/load Movie Jpg Question
I'm trying to load a path and a jpg file name from an external file and then apply it to a variable. Then using the LOADMOVIE action I want to use the variable as an expression to load the JPG into a particular movie.

My action script is as follows:

onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariablesNum("sniffer.txt", 0);
}

Sniffer.txt reads
link1=home1.jpg

I then have:
loadMovie(link1, "1");
on frame 2.

The weird thing is that it works in the Debugger but not when I publish it as a SWF or HTML.

Any ideas?

Load Text With Load Movie Clip
Guess I'm dealing with some sort of "root" thing, which I don't understand. I have a movie-clip being loaded into a target on the main scene. This movie-clip features a text-box with external TXT file being loaded into it. Well, it doesn't load. In the actions box, what should it say?

loadVariablesNum("myText.txt", 0);

That's what I have at the moment, but "0" obviously isn't working. Also, should it be "target" or "level?" The instance name of my textbox is "scrolltext."

Thanks for the help, I only know enough to be dangerous.

[MX04] Load Movie Clip...wait...load Another Movie Clip
ok...i'd like to do this all in actionscript if possible...on one frame.

one character (headshot). at timed intervals, the character would do something different...repeat.

[code]function antics() {
mc_Antics.start(0,0);
clearInterval(anticstime);
}
anticstime= setInterval(antics, 1000);

function antics2() {
mc_Antics2.start(0,0);
clearInterval(anticstime2);
}
anticstime2= setInterval(antics2, 2000);[code]

I don't know actionscript well at all, so is this just stupid? Any ideas on how to do this? It's not working right now...

Load Movie /targetting Movie Clip Problem..someone Save Me :)
Hi there..ive done stuff before with the Load movie command but now something that is still new to me..I checked out the help tutorial via the Help section on flash.What i want to do right now precisely is summed up in this example:

The following loadMovie statement is attached to a navigation button labeled Products. There is an invisible movie clip on the Stage with the instance name dropZone. The loadMovie action uses this movie clip as the target parameter to load the products in the SWF file, into the correct position on the Stage.

on(release) {
loadMovie("products.swf",_root.dropZone);
}

Anyhow the main file I am working with right now has dimensions of 800 wide by 600 h pixels. Please see swf file URL Link it will explain my whole problem alot better.

Load Movie & Unload Movie With A Large Amount And Gotoplay(2)
working on a website and i stuck on a sort of problem. and i hope someone can give me an advise about it.
trying to explain this as clear as i can.

i have a bar where i want to load different movieclips in.
when i load one movie clip called for example: concert1.swf i want the other movie clip called concert2.swf gotoandplay(2).
these movieclips get loaded from hitarea's in a different part from the site.
these say:
tellTarget ("_root.frontmovieclip.concert1") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
if you select an other button it says :
tellTarget ("_root.frontmovieclip.concert1") {
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
tellTarget ("_root.frontmovieclip.concert2") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

this all will work fine. the problem is i have 42 concerts. so this would mean i would have to tell each hit area an entire list of 42 telltargets that would go play frame 6 or 2 if i want them in random order.

now i was thinking is there a way that if you press concert1 that it load that movie and tell anyother concert that is already there to go play 6.

so that i don't need 42 lines but only 2.
something like:
tellTarget ("_root.frontmovieclip.concert2") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
tellTarget ("_root.frontmovieclip.variableconcert") {
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
and that in concert2 it can say it should go to the variableconcert when it's done playing.

you can check what i mean at http://exuo.tripod.com/poging3.html (past concerts, deftones)

hopefully someone can give me some advise and if you need more info please ask.

Actionscript Code, Load Movie + Call Movie, Help Plz.
How do you go about loading several movies into level 1, and when called on, by different buttons in the base movie, each movie will replace the other.
In the base movie (level 0), i used this actionscript to load the 2 movies (02.swf and 03.swf), which both have a stop action on frame 1, so appear invisible on the screen, until called on and will start to play from frame 2.
loadMovieNum ("02.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("03.swf", 1);
On the base movie, i use this code from the buttons to call the movie into level 1 and to play from frame 2.
on (release) {
if (_level01._framesloaded == _level01._totalframes) {
_level01.gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
However, how do i go about identifying which movie to call 02.swf or 03.swf, from 2 different buttons.
Thanks for helping me out, this has been giving me a big headache for the last 3 days.

Load Movie: Can You Lock A Level Below A Loaded Movie?
I have a mainmovie with lots of buttons from which users can access 200 still images. The way I have set it up is that ALL images are loaded into level 2 from the buttons on the main movie, and all images unload from level 2 (there is only one image ever up at a time) and then go to a certain frame label back on level 0. Glitch has just come up (at zero hour) - seems that the buttons on level 0 still remain active through level 2 images - sooo, I wonder, is there any way to work around this by assigning level 1 a locked value or something?
Any tips or ideas welcome!

Two Emptymovieclips--buttons In Top Movie Can't Load Bottom Movie
Here's the Big Picture:
I have a Flash masthead with a menu bar. The masthead also has a rounded shape with a mask so anything underneath it will be revealed around the mask. It loads into an emptymovieclip at, say, level 10. Each item on the menu bar loads a specific SWF file into a second emptymovieclip at, say, level 5. Everything else on the main stage will be below these two empty movie clips.

I have buttons with instance names in the masthead. The script that controls the buttons and everything else is in a frame on the main stage.

Here's the ActionScript:

Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("masthead",10);
masthead._x = 0
masthead._y = 0

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("body",5);
body._x = 0
body._y = 0

loadMovie("masthead.swf","masthead");

home.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie ("home.swf","body");

home_btn2contact.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie ("contact.swf","body");
};
What's (Not) Happening:
The masthead appears as expected, but none of the body items appear in the level-5-emptymovieclip when any of the menu buttons are clicked. Flash's debugger says the syntax is correct, but that doesn't tell me if I'm using an incorrect function, or I'm assigning a function incorrectly.

At this point, I can't tell if I'm coding the buttons incorrectly (I double-checked all the instance names and they match), or if I'm using emptymovieclip incorrectly, or whether the assigned movies are loading at all (I double-checked all the movie names and they match), or if the assigned movies are actually loading but somehow hidden (I tried assigning different positions to the emptymovieclips so something in the "body" will peek out from behind the "masthead"; no dice), or something else I haven't thought of.

I searched for an answer and there are plenty of instructions on how to do things right, but hardly any on what not to do, and none that matched my situation. So I'm hoping you fine folks have some insight to share. Anyone?

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.

Load Movie Larger Than The Holders Parent Movie?
I must be an idiot today. I have a main movie that's 750x550, it has an empty mc on it that loads external swf's, no big deal. Well, one of my swf's is 750x950 and when it loads into the empty mc, it only displays down to the size of the main movie (750x550), and does not show the additional 400px!
Can't say I've ever tried to load a larger movie into a smaller one before but this situation has never been needed, now I need it.
I tried to scale the mc after loading but it still doesn't seem to show. Can this even be done?
Thanks, I really need to figure this out today.

Load Movie, Play Movie Then Jump Back
Hello, i am new to Action Scripting so please be gentle, but i have something i would like to achieve using it and Flash 8.

I really need to be able to load a separate SWF file from a button contained in another SWF. When loaded and played, i need to jump back to the previous SWF file, but not to the beginning, to a certain point within it (the frame i left from).

Is this possible? If so, could you talk me through how.

Thanks everyone.
