Can You Put A Guide Layer Inside A Masked Layer?
Here's the situation: I've got a flash animation in which one character is dreaming. I put a balloon over his head. I want to put a bicycle inside this balloon which comes into the balloon, circles around once and then exits the balloon. I've masked the ballloon so that the bike isn't seen before it enters the balloon, but now I want to put a guide layer above the bike layer so that the bike can circle around a bit before it exits.
I don't see any info on this in any of my Flash books. Is there any way to put a layer, with its guide layer above it, inside a masked layer?
Thanks for the help.

How Do You Get A Duplicated Movie Clip To Play Inside A Masked Layer?
In my movie that i have attached a screen grab of, you can see that half of the skeleton on the right is hidden behind the masked layer. When you press the add skeleton button, it duplicates the skeleton movie clip. The skeleton on the left is the duplicated movie clip and you can see that it is not covered by the masked layer. So does anyone know how I can duplicate it so it will be masked? The skeleton movie clips can be dragged and dropped.
Thanks

Linking From Flash Menu Link To Ext. HTML Page Inside A DIV LAYER
I have a page that combines Flash and HTML in Dreamweaver 8. I have my links menu generated in Flash MX 2004. My desire is to have a link (when clicked from the Flash swf menu file) bring in a new html page into an existing LAYER of the same Dreamweaver document. Is this possible? My idea is to not have to reload all the other elements of the page, just the items on the one layer with new content. I know how to do this if the page were all Flash, but this is for an html page using the LAYER div tag.
Thanks for your help

Loading Into A Specific Layer
can someone give me advice on how to load an external swf into a specific layer of a timeline?
my problem is that i have a mc which contains my submenu navigation which the user can reveal and hide ... but when i load a movie into _level1, a lot of the elements in that external swf are in front of the menu. of course loading it into _level0 just replaces the shell swf.
at this point, i am forcing the external movie to "hide itself" every time the menu is being revealed by the user and then to "reveal itself" again once the user puts the menu away ... but theres gotta be a better way ... click below to see current version...
thanks.

Link To Loading A Scene In A New .SWF Layer
I have a very basic problem, but it gets really complicated when I try and explain it. So the best thing is, I have drawn a diagram of my problem, which can be viewed here:
http://www.archimediadesign.com/problem.gif
Basically, it concerns a base SWF template, which is just a level zero "holder" for all other SWFs which then load into and out of level 1, replacing each other when the next one is brought in, etc.
What I want to do is have a button in an SWF in level 1 which then not only links to and loads in another SWF in level 1 (which replaces the SWF containing the actual button that was linked FROM), but I want the new SWF file that has just been loaded in to go to a scene and frame other than scene one, frame one.
So far, I CAN get scene one, frame one, but what I want is to link straight to, for example, scene three, frame eight.
Check out the diagram link above - hopefully it makes more sense.

Loading And Scaling Movies In A Layer
Our team has developed several movies that were designed to be loaded into a higher level of a main flash movie. These are all going to be external swf files. The problem is that through a communications goof some developed their movies at 800 X 600 and the others including the main movie are 760 X 540. When we use the code
Code:
loadMovieNum("movieName.swf," 10);
the ones built at 800 X 600 run off the right and bottom edges. Is there any way to scale a movie that is being loaded into level without having to load it into a container movie clip? All of these external movies were created with code that breaks if we try that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Problem Loading Swfs On Top Layer As A Pop Up
I have this flash presentation in which there is a section with videos. In order to create the illussion of popups I loaded each movie as a swf on a higher level. On a Macintosh computer the presentation runs just fine but when I try it in windows, it runs the first two ok then on the third is starts stuttering. And then it wont run any other. Is there any way to accomplish what i want without this problem. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Loading Extermal Swf's (any Layer Control?)
Hi-
In my AS3 document I am loading 3 different external .swf files. I am using this method:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("open.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
and renaming the variables for each different movie - works well, but they aren't layering on the right levels.
Is there any way to control what "layer" these come in on? I have tried moving the layers around in my document with the load actionscript on different layers but it does not seem to matter, and don't see a way to designate what layer they load on like the old days in AS2 loadmovie()
Thanks in advance...

Loading Multiple Movies -- How To Layer Them?
Hello I have a very simple question that Im sure all you AS Guru's could answer in a second. I have a main_mc calling multiple movies including my nav-- I use this to pull in the seperate mc's into the main_mc
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip", 1);
this.clip.loadMovie("player.swf");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip2", 2);
this.clip2.loadMovie("player.swf");
I use this on the nav to pull in different pages into the main_mc
Code:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(1);
loadMovie("home.swf",1);
}
My problem is that I everytime i use loadMovie -- it loads it above my nav which is being called into the main MC. Is there a way to assing order level of each mc. In other words use code to layer is mc one on top of the other. I appreciate any help you guys can provide thanks.

Loading An Swf Into A Movie Clip Layer
Hi,
I have finally finished my coursework assignments of an animation and a portfolio.
Now I have come across a new problem of combining them!
I have exported the animation. It is of size 439.2 x 329.5.
The portfolio is 550x400 and has a few scenes(pages).
What I need to do is load the animation swf in one of the pages.
I have tried using create empty movie clip but it isn't appropriate as far as I can see. because I need to be able to mask around the imoported movie to keep it 439.2 x 329.5. If I use create empty movieclip then I can see all the graphics outside of the animations canvas size.
Therefore my idea was as follows.
On the scene in the portfolio i have got a movie clip layer the cortrect size of the movie, and i have masked this off with a mask layer, so there is a 439.2 x 329.5 window which will be visible.
What I need to do is be able to load the BendItLikeBush.swf from the library into the movieclip (which is called movie).
PLEASE help if you can! I've spent about 60-70 hours on this damn project and i just want to get it finished!
Thanks in advance!

Loading Variables With Secure Socket Layer Encryption
Hi,
I have recently installed a server certificate to obtain encryption functionality on my site. The largest part of my site is ASP and HTML, but I also have a Flash movie using Generator objects as an importent part.
Before I installed the certificate my site worked fine. After installing I am having problems loading my variables when opening the flash movie. Well the problem isn't that they won't load, it's more that they don't show as when I didn't have the certificate installed.
When I open the flash movie I give the variables with get; "movie.swt?number=<%=id%>" where <%=id%> is ASP. In actionscript I can use this variable by; "_root.idnumber = Number("{number}");". And this works fine without SSL.
After installing the certificate I have to change the above into; "_root.idnumber = {number};" But only one of the instaciations have to be changed. The rest of my actionscript can be unchanged whitch means that another variable can be _root.temp = Number("{variable}");.
Does SSL change flash or the format the variables are sent?
This is giving me a headache. Can someone please help me?
Regards

Loading An Internal Movie Clip Into A Specific Layer
I think I might have asked a similar question before - but this is very specific, so I'll ask away.
How would I load a movieclip within my main swf, into say Layer2 - and have any actionscript that specifies level2, affect that movie clip?
at the moment, i have a number of external swfs that are loaded into layer2 by a loadmovie scipt. and these can be reset to their first frame by a scipt I have on another button.
I would like to have these all as internal movie clip instead of external swfs (it will bring the overall size DOWN. currently each clip has to have helvetica and hiragino, a full japanese font, loaded - bringing them all into the main movie means only once - knocking 20-25k off per clip) and still be able to affect them by specifying level2. (ie. bringing in a second clip, overwrites the first one - and telling level2 to go to frame 1 makes whatever clip is visible return to frame 1)(I would prefer to keep it specifying level 2, which is general, than having to individualy specify each clip - as there's about 15 of them, which may grow in the future as I increase the content)
I've tried everything under my capabilities and i've been tearing my hair out. So some advice would be fantastic. thanks in advance

Loading A Swf Inside A Swf Inside A Swf...
my main movie is basically just navigation buttons that load a content swf into a movieclip - that's ok.
but when the content swf is also loading a second swf into itself, the second swf isn't showing up.
when i test the content swf by itself it's ok - the second swf shows up
it's only when i load the content swf into the main movie that the second swf doesn't show up in the content swf.
i don't know what is wrong - can someone help?

Erasing The Top Layer With A Line To Show The Layer Beneath It
I was curious if anyone would be able to help me out. I have a layer that is a menu with some buttons. When a button is hit, I'd like to do this: A line from above the menu will go down the page, and as it goes down it apperas to erase the menu layer and show the layer beneath it. So as it goes down, what is beneath the line is still the menu page but above the line is the information (movie clip) that should be shown to that corresponding button. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

Layering Problem: McText (layer 1) Over McText2 (layer 2)
Hi,
Quickie: Have 12 layers. Base layer has some text (mcWelcome) and a popup on layer
8 with some text plays over it. When I do a a href link to bring up the next mcTextfield combination
on top of the layer 8 the new layer goes under all other layers even though its on layer 10 (it has an arrow and a textfield).
In Design mode it is on top but when it plays it (layer 10 mc) plays under even the first layer.
What am I doing wrong? No matter where I drag the layer containing that new movie clip it goes underneath. Made
a new layer and it does the same thing adding text with ActionScript.
I've even done the "bring to front" and it has no effect. Why is the new mcText alway below the other layers?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Loading Movies Inside Movie That Are Inside Other Movies
I have built a website in flash.
I have a main interface with navigation. On press of a button (topic) it loads a movie into a certain area.
//area on timeline to stop any probs or overlapping
on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("1");
}
// get the clip
on (release) {
loadMovie ("mainmovies/products.swf", "_root.mainmovieframe");
}
this works fine and is the simplist and most effective way (i think)
NOW... what happens if I have buttons inside the products movie that inturn call movies inside the sub movie..
It will now work, just crashes flash player. I am using the same command as in the interface but with different clip/instance name...
Please tell me how to make movies work. I cannot make layers and stuff work for some reason.
Loading An External Swf Inside A Movieclip That Is Inside Of A Movieclip
I was wondering if anyone could help me!!!! I used the tutorial for loading external swf's into a movieclip off of this site. But what I am trying to do is load another external swf inside of that external movieclip. Not sure if that makes sense. I kind of have it working where it loads the first external clip. But when I press a button to load a different one, it plays the transition then loads nothing. It's just blank.
This is the AS 2.0 that I am using for the external swf button that is inside another:
on (release) {
if (this._parent.currMovie == undefined) {
this._parent.currMovie = "StrategicPlanning2";
container2.loadMovie("StrategicPlanning2.swf");
} else if (this._parent.currMovie != "StrategicPlanning2") {
if (container2._currentframe>=container2.midframe) {
this._parent.currMovie = "StrategicPlanning2";
container2.play();
}
}
}
And this is the AS that I am placing on the last frame in the actions layer
this._parent.container2.loadMovie(this._parent.cur rMovie+".swf");
Please help!!! I am only a Graphic Designer!!

I have a sound (mySound) playing from a movie in layer0 (default movie). this movie has loaded another movie into layer 2 using loadmovienum.
I want to stop the sound from playing while in the layer 2 movie. I have tried using _layer and _root but I can't reference the sound.
Can someone tell me how to reference the sound and either stop it or set the volume to 0 from within layer 2 if the sound object is in layer 0?

Behavior In One Layer Automatically Carries On To Any Layer
I hate to be a pain, but I am really trying to learn a lot by following tutorials and this problem is reoccuring with every tut I try...
I am following this tutorial: [L=http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/preloader2.asp]
I am stuck on this (have redone it at least 17 times following verbatum but something isn't right):
Now come back to your bar layer, Push the rectangle to the left as shown below
Go to Frame 40, keeping playhead on frame 40, pull the rectangle onto the other side as shown below
My problem is that when I move it in frame one, it also moves in frame 40... and when I move it to the other side in frame 40 and go back to frame 1 it is no longer in the original position... I can't get my head around this!!! I am using Flash 8 Professional if that's any help!
I am inserting frames and not keyframes, just like the tutorial says...
