Help Manipulating MC In Imported Swf
Hi all. I've got an animation with a pause button in AS3. The pause button is an MC. If the MC is on frame 2 then the animation pauses. It works fine.

This animation is imported in to an AnimationContainer MC dynamically. This AnimationContainer swf is then imported in to the main swf of the webpage, so it goes...
mainswf-->
-----------AnimationContainer-->
--------------------------------AnimationMC->
--------------------------------------------Pause MC
My question is how can I control the pause button from the mainswf? i.e. I want mainswf to send AnimationMC's pause MC to frame 2. I thought coud do this by:
AnimationContainer.AnimationMC.pausebutton.gotoAnd Stop(2);
...but this doesn't work. Any help appreciated.

Manipulating Imported SWFs
(MX 2004)

I have a flash file that imports an external SWF.

More specifically, the main flash loads, then an image (another SWF) loads inside that file.

Is there a way to manipulate the image from within the first flash file?

For instance, the image is a movie clip with instance name "pano." Ideally, I'd like to call it like _root.panoLoader.panoGoesHere.pano and work with it that way, but this doesn't appear to be working. Am I doing something wrong?

I've right-clicked on the movie clip and said "Export for ActionScript" with the identifier "panoMainEntrance."

Help On Manipulating Imported Movies
question no 1:

I have a list of external movies. I want to import them only once and then use them as many times as I want. I need to attach them to other clips the same way I would attach them if they were in my current library with linkage option on.

question no 2:

suppose i have a movie called s1.swf in the same location with my movie.
then I have this code:

Code:

function createObj(objname, whichMc, level) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(objname, level);
_root[objname].createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1);
_root[objname].mc.loadMovie(whichMc, "clipart", 1);
_root[objname].mc.onPress = function() {
trace("something")
}
}

createObj("tralala" , "s1.swf", 1, 150, 150);
I don't know why the event handler for the movie "mc" is not invoked ... I have no trace record in the outpus window. what is wrong with it?

Thanks

Does The FPS In The .fla Document Effect The FPS In An Imported .flv?
I think this may be related to another post I have, but I'm not sure?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=194&threadid=1265662&CFID=45109516&CFTOKEN=f5a4ce0585fae4f3-66834EE8-E724-5FA7-C13B0CE0CCCB7A67&jsessionid=48305c133dfd755d2f3b

Does the FPS in the .fla document effect the FPS in an imported .flv? I notice the default FPS in a .fla is 12, but i think most of my imported .flv are about 30 fps, will this effect anything or does the flv overwrite the fla?

Thanks!

Use Imported JPEG Data Vs: Use Document Default Quality
I have created two fla files and imported jpegs into each. when I go into the library and view the properties of the images in each fla file they give me different options for export. One of the fla files gives me a "Use imported JPEG data" checkbox and the other one gives me a "Use document default quality" checkbox. I like the use imported JPEG data option better. Why are they different????? (driving me nuts

Manipulating Text
I'm trying to make it so that you can modify the length and height of an array in the form of 0's and 1's. And edit it manually. So fahr one problem came up that is with the spacing. When the max length is reached it should go to an new line, and continue that until the max height is reached.

I'll include a .fla file.

Manipulating _y Of Text Fields
I have 5 text fields..they correspond to 5 different steps.

These are loaded dynamically.
When viewing the current step the text changes to reflect the current step you are on.

What I am having a problem with is when the Dynamic Text area Is sized to allow for wrapping, the other text boxes stay where they are and I seem to be unable to move them dynamicaly bassed on if the text box above it is wraped or not.

Here is a code snippett:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.step1.text = _root.basicexplaination[0];
_root.step2.text = _root.basicexplaination[1];
_root.step3.text = _root.basicexplaination[2];
_root.step4.text = _root.basicexplaination[3];
_root.step5.text = _root.basicexplaination[4];
_root.step2._y = _root.step1._y+_root.step1._height;
_root.step3._y = _root.step2._y+_root.step2._height;
_root.step4._y = _root.step3._y+_root.step3._height;
_root.step5._y = _root.step4._y+_root.step4._height;
//control explaination based on what selectedstep is on in _root
switch (_root.selectedstep) {
case 1 :
_root.step1.htmlText = "<b>"+_root.currentexplaination[0]+"</b>";
break;
case 2:
_root.step2.htmlText = "<b>"+_root.currentexplaination[1]+"</b>";
break;
}
}
I have 2 cases complete...I thought the code:

Code:
_root.step3._y = _root.step2._y+_root.step2._height;
would position the step3 dynamic text appropiatly but it doesn't

What am I doing wrong?

THanks,
Mike

Manipulating Text Fields
hi. i've got a 'for' loop which creates a calendar. it works good. now i want it to recognize the current day and highlight it. here's the code. the problem area is the very last if/else statement at the bottom.

the variables:

ActionScript Code:
// Set the Initial Values for the Date Objects now = new Date(); today = now.getDate(); month = now.getMonth(); year = now.getFullYear(); // First Date of Month firstDate = new Date (year, month, 1); firstDay = firstDate.getDay(); // Last Day of Month lastDate = new Date(year, month+1, 0); lastDay = lastDate.getDate();

the layout:

ActionScript Code:
for(var j:Number=1; j <= lastDay; j++){ // Create the Empty Movie Clip _root.createEmptyMovieClip("dateClip"+j,300+j); var dateClip:MovieClip = _root["dateClip"+j]; // Create a Text Field Inside them dateClip.createTextField("thisDate"+j,j,0,0,indColWidth,colHeight); // Set Text Field Properties dateClip["thisDate"+j].selectable = false; dateClip["thisDate"+j].border = true; dateClip["thisDate"+j].text = j; // Define the Formatting var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); format.align = "center"; dateClip["thisDate"+j].setTextFormat(format); // Position the Clips dateClip["thisDate"+j]._x = indColWidth * firstDay; dateClip["thisDate"+j]._y = startThiRowYPos; firstDay++; // If it's Saturday, Increment the Week Count if (firstDay == 7) { firstDay = 0; startThiRowYPos += 25; }// If it's today, give the text field a background fillif(today && month && year){ // give it a background fill dateClip["thisDate"+today].border = true; dateClip["thisDate"+today].background = true; dateClip["thisDate"+today].backgroundColor = 0xCCCCCC;}

the area right above here is the problem area.
i figured part of it out. now i can get the date to have a background but, for example, today's the 21st and now the 21st of every month is highlighted.

any help is always appreciated.

thanks. - fumeng.

Manipulating A Dynamic Text Field
Hello all,

I made this simple flash movie that allows a user to input a money value into a input field and upon pressing the submit button it returns a value into a string of text along with a variable that contains a money value * a fixed percentage. The calculation works good, but my problem is how do I make that money value format with commas in the output (ex. $1,000,000 as suppose to $1000000).

Manipulating Text Variables When Using LoadVariablesNum [Flash 5]
Lets say were loading a text file with a multi line variable, like

Code:
_news=Line1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
In flash it would show the text variable as,

Code:
Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

Line 4

Line 5
Is there a way we can make the double return into a single return?

I know I could just use the <BR> and have no breaks in my text files, but that is a pain to look at, and is irritating to edit.

Any one know an answer?

Loading From Text File And Manipulating Variables
I searched for the answer and have looked through ActionScript dictionary for the answer. I am close, but I need help from a more experienced FLASHer.

I am trying to create a script that will take a movie clip and duplicate it based on what I type in the text document. For instance, within the text document I have:

totalClips=4&

Based on the totalClips variable, I need to duplicate the movie clip that many times. However, when I try to compare the totalClips with the currentClips variable, they never are of an equality.

I have got so far as to figure out that I will somehow have to use parseInt, but after that it just won't work.

Any ideas?

Please let me know if you would like to see the code in its entirity.

Thanks.

MX - Manipulating Loaded Dynamic Text Variables
I am able to load a variable into a dynamic textbox. However, I'm unable to manipulate these variables.

I have a dynamic text box with a variable called "loadedfile" which is in a movieclip off the root called _root.subclip

I load the variable using loadVariable (textfile.txt, this) in the main timeline.

The textfile is setup with &_root.subclip.loadedfile=" to direct the textfile to the right variable.

This seems to work. However, what I want to do is, load a number of text files when the flash file starts -- each into a separate variable. Then I'd like to have the same dynamic text box use the text in these variables at different points in the movie.

I've tried loading a file into say the variable "dyntext" and then tried using "loadedfile=dyntext" (loadedfile being the variable for the textbox). But it doesn't seem to work.

I hope this makes sense.

Anyone have ideas?

Sharing Vars Between Document Class And An Imported Class.
I'm working on my first really in depth AS3 project, learning as I go.

I've been sorting through the XML docs and i've bumped my head into a bit of a question. So, to preface, I have been able to load the XML successfully, but I want to be able to use my own XML loader class to load the XML and then be able to reference it from the document class. Also, I'd like to be able to send a file path to the loader class when I call it.

Not sure if that makes sense, but I will post what I did and see how bad it is

The document class:

ActionScript Code:
package rg.sites{

// flash classes

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.errors.*;

// RG classes

import rg.classes.XMLSiteLoader;

// Layout Objects

public class SiteCurrent extends MovieClip {

// vars
public var siteLoader:XMLSiteLoader;
public var site_xml:XML;
public var xml_site_loading:String = "current_site.xml";

public function SiteCurrent() {
trace("Site Current is loaded");
siteLoader = new XMLSiteLoader();
siteLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlSiteLoaded);
}//end constructor function

private function xmlSiteLoaded(event:Event):void {

trace(site_xml.toXMLString());
trace("
" + "Background art: " + site_xml.section.(@id == "Splash"));

}

}//end class
}//end package

The XMLSiteLoader class:

ActionScript Code:
package rg.classes

//
// XMLSiteLoader version 0.1 beta
//

{
//import fl.controls.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.errors.*;

public class XMLSiteLoader extends EventDispatcher {
//public var site_xml:XML;

private var siteReq:URLRequest;
private var siteLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public var site_xml:XML;
public var xml_to_load:String;

public function XMLSiteLoader() {
//trace(stage.xml_site_loading);
if(xml_to_load == true) {
trace("xml file path sent");
siteReq = new URLRequest(xml_to_load);

}
else {
trace("No XML file path sent, use default value");
siteReq = new URLRequest("current_site.xml");
}

trace("XML Site Loader is loading: " + siteReq);
siteLoader.load(siteReq);
siteLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

} // constructor class

private function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
site_xml = new XML(siteLoader.data);
trace("
" + "from XML Site Loader: " + site_xml.section.(@id == "Splash"));
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
}

}//end class
}//end package

I get an error that says:

Quote:

Site Current is loaded
No XML file path sent, use default value
XML Site Loader is loading: [object URLRequest]

from XML Site Loader: portfolios/splash_gallery/splash.xml
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

"use Imported Jpeg Data" Or "use Document Default Quality"
Hi

I've just searched for this through all the past posts, and through all of them (some 4 years old) no-one found the answer, so I was hoping someone would know the answer by now .

When i first started my current flash project, I imported a JPEG and under the properties it had the checkbox "use imported jpeg data" and it ended up with the perfect quality and size.

Then I needed to change the image slightly so re-imported it, but now the checkbox says "use document default quality", and this has affected the final image quality.

I tried unchecking the box and changing the manual compression to 100, but it still ends up being worse quality, then I tried re-checking the box and turning off file compression completely and changing the jpeg quality in publish settings to 100. But it's still not as good as it was before.

All I want is that little checkbox to say "use imported jpeg data" again . Is that so much to ask?

Please someone help, please

thanx thanx thanx, lots of love,
-Luke

Making Parts Of Text Bold In Imported Text File
Hi,

I've done a search and haven't really found what i'm looking for.

I'm using Flash MX 2004.

I have an FLA that has a dynamic text box in with the instance name 'txtbox'.

I use the following code to import the text from a text file:

Code:
LoadVarsText = new LoadVars();
LoadVarsText.load("sptext.txt");
LoadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
txtbox.text = this.var1;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};

My text file looks something like this:

Quote:

var1=%0DClient: Test Company Ltd%0DScope of work: To create a corporate identity, logo, branding plus online presence for newly formed business%0D%0D I was commissioned to create the site to give Test Company Ltd an online presence. They wanted a profesional looking site that both promoted the business and their services, as well as being interesting to navigate around. I opted for a hybrid site, and used a combination of Flash and HTML in the construction.

This works fine, however, I want to make some of the words in the text bold. I've tried making the box HTML formatted, then adding HTML tags around the bits of text that I want bold, but this doesn't work.

I'm not a programmer so you'll have to bear with me. From seeing tutorials, it looks like i'm missing something from my code that imports the text file.......?

Help?

Flash Text Vs Imported SWFs Of Text?
Hello All,

Not for any particular good reason, I imported swfs of the text I needed as taglines, instead of creating said-taglines with the Flash text tool.

The animation I was looking to create with the text was meant to look like the kneading hands of a masseuse. Upon completing the text animation for my banner I realized that I was way over in file size (75k instead of the needed 30k).

My question is, would creating the text in flash, saved me file size?

If you look at my oversized flash banner (link #1), you will see that redoing the text in flash (rather than the swfs of the text that I created in Illustrator) would be a heavy undertaking, as each "line" of text needs be broken-apart, distributed to its own layer, and animated.

Below are two links. The first link is to the original banner, that is too large in file size. The second link is to the banner that I am left to create, as I do not have any other imagery, and need to get it served quite soon.

Thanks in advance!
roml

#1 - original banner | large file size:

#2 - dumbed down version for smaller file size

But this means that i cant apply any html tags to it, such as links or breaks in the text,
Does anyone know how i could get it so that, maybe i could have a certain character in a string, which when read in, is interpreted to move the creation of the new mc down a bit, so that it gives the appearance of a new line.

Call A URL From A Text Document
Hi,

I'm stumped with this at the moment:

I have a simple animated banner that pulls in dynamic HTML text from a .txt document. Because I have Rollover states on the movieclip, I cant change the links with the dynamic text. My question is... does anyone know a way to call a URL from a separate text document that the movieclip can link to when its clicked?

Here is my script for the clip:

clip1.onRollOver = over;
clip1.onRollOut = out;
clip1.onMouseDown = down;

function over() {
this.gotoAndPlay("CLIPOVER");
}

function out() {
this.gotoAndPlay("CLIPOUT");
}

function down() {
this.getURL("THIS WHERE I WANT TO PULL A URL IN");
}

Hopefully that makes sense. Any help is GREATLY appreciated, even if you could suggest a different/better method that I am too tired to think of at the moment.

Thanks!
