Missing/non-functioning Movie Clip Symbols

Button Not Functioning In Movie Clip
I've made a button inside a movie clip, When I click on the button I want it to move the playhead inside the movie clip. However, when I click on the button nothing happens, but the little hand appears showing that the flash player recognizes that a button is there.

I put a on(press)/trace() on the main movie in the timeline and found that when I click the mouse button it is pressing on the movie in the main timeline, not on the button inside the movie, even though the cursor changes to a hand only over the area of the button inside the movie.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I am so stuck.

Thank you

Graphic Symbols And Movie Clip Symbols
what is the difference between creating a graphic symbol from an image with it's own timeline animation and creating a movie clip symbol from the same image that can be animated in the main timeline?

Or do I totally misunderstand the difference between the two?

Button Inside Movie Clip Is Not Functioning AT ALL
Hi,

I have made a movie clip which I've named 'portfolio'. This movie clip plays when rolled over and goes to a frame labeled 'pressed' when pressed. Inside this MC I have a button called cmres. The instance is as a button too. I have a rollover state on the button but it's not showing up..

Also, I use code on the main timeline like so.

portfolio.cmres.onRelease = function() {
portfolio.gotoAndStop(1);
}

which from what I've been reading should work but isn't. What gives?

Thanks in Advance,
Stan

Button Within Nested Movie Clip Not Functioning
Hi everyone!

Really need some help. I love Flash, but this is just killing me!

I'm putting together a website using an external AS3 file document class called "Master". The site is laid out inside a main movie clip container called "mainContainer". Inside, a "mainNav" movie clip contains 3 buttons that point the time line to frame labels. These frames contain additional movie clips for each page of the site. I have the 3 buttons in mainNav working fine. The issue I'm running into is getting an additional button called "testBTN" nested within one of the page MCs called "methods" to work. I'm getting the "TypeError: Error #1009..." output (yes, I've double checked that my instances are named). Perhaps there is something about scope I'm not understanding? A strange and possibly related issue I had earlier was with the three main buttons. They fade in half way through the mainNav clip, but I couldn't get them to function until I placed an invisible (alpha 0) copy of each at frame 1 of that clip. mainNav also exists on frame 1 of the mainContainer, whereas methods/testBTN is down the line. I have a feeling this has something to do with it, but I'm hoping there is a way to address it...

Anyway, here is my code. The suspect lines are bold:


ActionScript Code:
package {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.SimpleButton;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    public class Master extends MovieClip {
        public function Master() {
           
           
   
           
            //button event listeners
            mainContainer.mainNav.BTNmain.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMainClick, false, 0, true);
            mainContainer.mainNav.BTNmethods.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMethodsClick, false, 0, true);
            mainContainer.mainNav.BTNservices.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onServicesClick, false, 0, true);
           
            [b]mainContainer.methods.testBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTestClick, false, 0, true);[/b]
           
        }
       
       
        //navigate by frame label
        private function onMainClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
            mainContainer.gotoAndStop("main");
        }
        private function onMethodsClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
            mainContainer.gotoAndStop("methods");
        }
        private function onServicesClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
            mainContainer.gotoAndStop("services");
        }
       
        [b]public function onTestClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
            mainContainer.gotoAndStop("main");
        }[/b]
       
       
    }
}

Photo Gallery Stops Functioning In Movie Clip
I have a photo gallery that works just fine by itself. It has clickable thumbnails to scroll through, select an image, and load it into a movie clip on the stage. When I test the movie it works great. Or, if I copy the frames of the gallery and paste them into a different .fla the gallery still works fine.

Here is the problem. I am working on a website and I have built each page as a seperate movie. When I paste the frames of the gallery (from its own .fla) into one of my pages (a movie), all of the functions do not work; the scroll buttons don't work, the thumbnails don't bring up images, etc.

It seems that there is a problem with pasting the gallery into movies. Why would this not work?

Missing Movie Clip? HELP
Strange question, but perhaps someone has had this problem before and can help. I have a movie clip within one of the scenes of my main movie. Everything was fine until I opened the movie this morning to begin work. Now there is simply a small box where the movie clip used to be (as if it were an empty clip), and when I click on it flash crashes. The .swf's are fine, and the clip is still in my library. Can anyone help me?

Missing Graphic In Movie Clip
Am I missing a step? I have a movie clip created from a jpeg by importing the jpeg to library. Dragging jpeg to Scene selecting and Convert to Symbol (movie clip with exports set and Named). Both the graphic and the movie show in the library, but only the bitmap shows the picture in the preview Library pane (or in the Scene). When I test the movie the movie clip behaves and displays correctly, but I thought that it should display in the preview pane.

Has any body got any ideas what I am doing wrong (if anything)?

Many thanks

Missing Symbols When Displayed In IE
I've begun working with Flash 8 and of a number of project have found that they display all symbols in animations when using "FireFox" "Opera", or "Netscape" type browsers. However, IE type browsers drop "parts/symbols" of the animations. Has IE not caught up with Flash 8, or am I doing somtihng wrong in Flash?

Missing Movie Clip From Flash Mx Template
Hi, i am just wondering.

I purchased a flash mx template for use on my web. When i first viewed it there was a movie that played in the template. after i recieved it, for some reason the movie doesn't play.

I am new to mx, so i might be missing something. I know where the movie should play. I have been through every piece of code i can see as well as every movie. the missing movie clip is in the library, but i can't find a function to call it to play.

if anyone out there is able to check out the template i have, and maybe see where the code could be or help me insert it into the place it should be, that would be awesome.

the template is available for me to send via email



regards

Help Using Movie Clip Symbols...
Ok i'll try to write my problem as understanding as I can...

In my main movie scene I use a Movie Clip Symbol to play an animation. Now I don't want to loop this animation, but when it ends I want it to go to a frame that is in the main movie. But assigning it as an action won't work, cause it will go to the frame inside the movie clip symbol, not to the main movie! I can't choose any other options wheter it should go to the main movie or stay inside the symbol..

I still use Flash 4 (yes i'm very poor). But don't tell me to get a better version if you don't know how to answer my question. Thanks!

Multiple Movie Clip Symbols HELP

A Problem With Movie Clip Symbols
Alright, i tried asking for help with this once, and no one said anything, so here goes again...

I am making a flash animation out of scanned images I drew with pencil and paper. the idea behind the story is that there are people living in a world created by drawings who are oppressed by the people in control of the pencils. I am trying to make the drawings have a sort of rough, untempered look, having their lines shift every frame as if they are scribbled in. I thought it would be simplest if I just made movie clip symbols out of 2 or 3 different scribbled drawings of the same object for each part of their bodies, so i followed these steps:

1)Inserted a movie clip symbol (obviously).
2)Opened my document containing several drawings of the same object (in this case, a character's head) in a drawing program.
3)Selected and copied one of the images and pasted it onto frame one of the symbol in flash.
4)Broke apart the image and used flash to erase the paper behind the part I want to keep.
5)Inserted a keyframe into the movie clip symbol.
6)Selected the second drawing, pasted it into the second keyframe, broke it apart, and cleaned it up.
7)Put the third image into a third keyframe and did the same to it.
8)Switched to scene 1, added 9 more frames, and selected frame 1.
9)Opened the library and dragged "symbol 1" into the middle.

Now it should have added the other two frames of the movie clip symbol, right? Well, it instead displays the first frame of the movie clip symbol through all 10 frames of scene 1. If you click "play" in the library while symbol 1 is selected, it will show all of the frames, but not while the symbol is in scene 1. What is going wrong and how do I fix it? I'm rather new to flash, so please forgive me if this is a n00bish mistake.

[f8] Nesting Movie Clip Symbols
Hey guys, well i have this character and its a movie clip symbol. so for organization reasons, i want to "nest" my animation, a movie clip within a movie clip.

Now what i WANT to do, is view my animation (tween, keyframes, etc) in my MAIN TIMELINE WINDOW. NOT WHEN I DOUBLE CLICK MY MOVIE CLIP SYMBOL.

Because in my movie clip symbol, there are eyes, mouth, legs, etc. so if i wanted to make him blink, or talk and move at the same time, i would have quite a bit of layers. So, everything works fine when i am animating WITHIN the symbol. So when i go to Scene 1, and i want to resize the character then i can, i dont have to individually make the mouth smaller, eyes etc. Because they would all be on 1 SYMBOL.

So what i want to do again is, VIEW my animation in m MAIN TIME LINE WINDOW. Not the MOVIE CLIP SYMBOL TIMELINE. There must be a preview option or something. When i am in main timeline window, i go to control > play and nothing happens. this will be tedious if i cant find out how to preview in the main window.

i hope you guys know how i can resolve this issue, thx again!

Symbols (MC, Buttons, Etc ) Missing When Share Library Is Used.
Currently, I'm having this Problem :
Symbols (MC, buttons, etc ) linked from shared library are missing when the swf is 1st loaded on the web.

I suspect that it maybe due to the way I implement the share library.

This was how I did it:
1) I created a "MelogoMotion" Movie Clip in a "Logo" Flash Movie file.
2) I changed the linkage option to "Export", identifier
-> "LogoMe". then I published this "Logo" Flash Movie into .html & .exe. Then I closed this file.
3) I opened this Logo Flash Movie as Share Library. I dragged the MeLogoMotion MC into the my current Flash Movie's ("Sophia.fla") library which I am working on.
4) Then I embedded this Linked MC (MeLogoMotion) inside a button symbol, after which I place on stage and ebedded this button into another MC.

The result on the web is: The whole movie clip went missing during 1st loading.

What shld I do to prevent this from happening, so that next time I'll know how to used stuffs fr a shared library???

Hope that my question and descriptions are clear to everyone. Pls help me with this long time confusion!!! Thank you!!!

Exporting Movie Clip Symbols To Quicktime
I have a very simple movie with animated vertical bars made with Movie Clips. That is, about a dozen Movie Clips each in it's own layer with staggered starting keyframes.
When I test the movie or view it as a .swf file it plays back perfectly, but when I export it as a Quicktime movie and try to play it back as a .mov file the animation from the Movie Clips doesn't show up.

Movie Clip Symbols Vs Using Main Timeline
I have a Newb problem.

I think the main advantage to created a movie clip symbol as opposed to doing the animating in the main stage and timeline is that it can get very cluttered very easy. But I am really frustrated that you can't see the animation of movie clip symbols when scrolling through the through the frames in the main timeline. It makes working with movie clips next to impossible for me. I'm sure I'm not understanding something.

Can anyone help me with this?

[F8] Enabling Button Mode For Movie Clip Symbols?
Hi kids. Simple question. In flash 8, I want my movie clip to have the lil hand appear over my movie clip symbols, as they'll be my buttons (since buttons suck and dont work lol).

So, how can I make this happen? And any necessary code would be GREATLY appreciated, since I understand actionscript about as much as I understand German... maybe a bit less.

Thanks!

Video (.AVI) Export, 'Movie Clip' Symbols Don't Animate
In a Flash project, I have a 'Movie clip'-type symbol which is a butterfly, animated so that its wings beat. On the main stage, this butterfly clip is animated to move along a path.

This animates correctly in SWF, but when exporting to video (.AVI), movie clips only show the first frame. I.E., the butterfly moves along the path on the stage, but its wings do not beat.

How do I get movie clip symbols to animate upon video export?

Noob Question About String And Movie Clip Symbols
So I have an array that has the instance names of some movie clip symbols.... I want to grab one at random and perform operations on it.

So I set an array with the string names and grab one at random.

var log_array:Array = ['truckStop_mc', 'blackJack_mc'];
var index:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * log_array.length);

I then used trace to make sure that I am grabbing the name correctly..... it is returning me the names...

trace(log_array[index]);

I then try to set the x and y property

log_array[index].x = 399.4;
log_array[index].y = -3;

I get this error at runtime:
Cannot create property x on String

I tried storing just the clips themselves as objects but that errored as well.

var log_array:Array = [truckStop_mc, blackJack_mc];

Is there a way to store the objects themselves in the array or is there a way of converting that string to the object....

Something like
var obj:Object = getObject(log_array[index]);
obj.x = .......

any help would be great... I have been stuck for a bit now.

Thanks

Links Not Functioning After Publishing Movie
I am using this code to externally load my links. It works fantastically in Flash, but when I export the swf and try to publish it online, the links do not work. If I test publish HTML in Flash they also do not work. Is this something in my code or do I need to change a setting when I publish?


Code:
newURL = new LoadVars();
newURL.onLoad = function(success) {
if (!success) {
trace("FAILED TO LOAD");
}else{
//do whatever you want to happen IF successful
webSite = newURL.link1;
//set button code
button1.onRelease = function() {
getURL(webSite);
}
}
};
newURL.load("http://www.boomer-living.com/vidback/flashmenu/boomerMenuLinks.txt");

External Swf - Movieclip Not Functioning In Main Movie
I have loaded an external swf into an empty movie clip in my main movie.
Movie clip works fine when I test the external swf by itself. Once I test the main movie and load the ext. swf file the movie clip stops working.

This movie clip will act as a button. It is a small folder tab that will move up once clicked and move down when it is clicked again.
Will changing the _root to _parent work?

Thanks.
DW

AS for the movieclip:

onClipEvent (load) {
speed = _root.variSpeed;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.dotclicked) {
targetY = 340;
Ydiff = targetY-_root.dot._y;
_root.dot._y += Ydiff/speed;
}
if(targety==int(_root.dot._y)){
_root.dotclicked == false;
_root.gotoAndPlay("speedUp");
}

Buttons (symbols) Not Working In Clip
I have a simple animation that is a person walking down the street. The person walking is a loop (movie clip in the library) of 15 frames and the background is about 70 frames (also a loop clip in the library). Symbols that I make into buttons in the background clip (clouds floating by) don't work as they should. They will give me the color change upon clicking but they only go back to the same scene, even though I've specified the first frame of a 2nd or 3rd scene. When I take the loops out of the animation and have frame by frame animation back in the main scene window, the buttons work fine. Why don't they work in those loops?

Is My Movie/website Too Big Or Am I Missing Something?
Hi,
Hope that someone on here may be able to help and this makes sense.
im a newbie to flash

Ive created a flash movie/website which is 766 x 651.
example 1
When i publish the flash website using flash 8 i use 100% dimension with no scale and centred which produces the website in the middle of the screen.... which is what i want.

Now the problem i have is when i view my site on my home pc (screen size set to 1280x1024) it looks perfect.

When i view my flash website on a 1024x768 resolution part of the bottom of my site is missing with no scroll bar

When i view my flash website on a 800x600 resolution alot of the site is missing again no scroll bar to view what im missing.

I cant turn the internet explorer scroll bar on.???

example 2
If instead i publish the site using dimensions = match movie, the website will look fine in all of the resolutions and there is a scroll bar the lower the resolution i use...... but the flash movie appear at the top left of the page all the time.
I cant centre it though??


Now what im after is getting my site centred and with the scroll bar on the left for the lower resolutions so i can scroll down through the bits of the page im missing.

Ive tried changing the html in both example's.
in the first example ive looked at the html code and the internet explorer scroll bar is switched on but it still wont produce a scroll bar even for the lower resolution screens.

In the second exmple ive tried changing the html code so it centre's and it doesnt centre it.

Any idea's on where im going wrong?... im tearing my hair out

cheers

Help: Missing Elements In Movie
I'm working on this flash movie, and everything seems to be OK. However, when I test it, there are missing elements (which are at the timeline and they play OK). Besides, out of 3 symbols (all made with fonts), 2 are not showing and the only one showing is antialiased (which of course isn't in my .fla). Any suggestion on what may be causing this or what am I doing wrong?

I'm using Flash 8 and testing with Flash Player 8 as well

Making A Movie Clip In A Movie Clip Go To The Next Frame Of The Original Movie Clip
I have a movie clip (for simplicity I'll call it movie_a) in movie_a I have another movie clip movie_b.

in movie_a i have a button that when pressed makes movie_b play (it has a stop frame every once in a while so the button acts as a "next" button)

I want it so that when i get to the last frame of movie_b and press the button, it will go to the next frame of movie_a

I hope that doesn't confuse u and u can help me solve this problem, as i am stumped and I've tried everything I could think of (which isn't that much as I'm not too good with actionscript)

thnx

Editing Graphic Symbols By Copying And Pasting To Make Slightly Dif Symbols
Hi!

I am using flash to create moving people symbols. I created a "singular person" symbol and saved it, I then copyed a few to make a "bunch of people" symbol, when I go to edit these copyed and pasted symbols each saved symbol changes. Also I am saving them as graphic symbols at the moment.

thanks,

Helen

[F8] Parts Missing From Flash Movie
I have embedded a flash movie in a website, it is just a simple slide show with background graphics throughout the movie. It has a preloader, and then the movie is in one frame.

Looks great on most monitors, but on a couple (one an internet cafe and one private pc) the background graphic is missing on the left hand side.

What can possibly be wrong?

Text Missing When Testing Movie
Hi,

I recently updated text in a page. Now, when I test the movie, random characters within the modified text are missing. Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?
I am using Adobe Flash CS3 on Windows XP.
I appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!

Help With Movie Clips Needed... I Think Im Missing Something...?
Hi there!

I've got a sliding menu type navigation that follows the x position mouse when you hover a button, which i did using this tutorial:

http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutori...orial=smartnav

Its all working perfectly on the main stage, but when i put it in a movie clip it all doesnt work...

I think i might need some _roots somewhere, but im not sure where (im a bit thick where actionscript is concerned )

If you could help me, i'd appreciate it...

Thanks

Layers Missing In Exported Movie
I have imported some shapes from Illustrator to Flash 8 as SWF files (seemed like a good way to include transparency) when I view the movie within the workspace all is fine and i can slide along the timeline with no problems. When I test the movie or export it however, the swf layers are missing.

Any suggestions on the cause of my problem?

Movies Missing In Movie Explorer?
Ok I'm using Flash MX. I'm using a complete FLA...what I did was duplicate some movies in the "library" and change the name. Now the problem with this is that I can't find them in the "movie explorer". I guess I have to add them to something? I have them linked in action script. I just don't understand how I can get the movies into "movie explorer" or into my swf so they'll work properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's probably something very basic with Flash that I just don't understand. Thanks a lot, -Joe

Scrollable Text Missing From Loaded Movie
hello actionscript,

have some problems loading an external movie that includes scrollable text to my main timeline. my movie from my library comes over along w/the scroll buttons however, the text that is being called does not.
i think its a _root problem but ive tried that and no go.
this is what im working w/now.

the movie from the library is linked as "note"

my clip on the main timeline that im loading "note" into is called "loadnote"

the button that calls "note" into "loadnote" has this code w/it:

on (release) {
loadnote.attachMovie("note","line", 8);
}


on the timeline for the movie "note" has this action placed on the first frame to call the text document into "note"

loadVariablesNum("text.txt", 0);

stop();




i got this to work when i placed it on the main time line without it loading the movie; instead by only loading the text and it worked. however when i try to load it as a movie, the graphics from the movie come over but not the text.

any help from the actionscript genii would be much appreciated

mr.telemetrik
