Movie Linkage For A Beginner...
Whereabouts do I put the movie label so that it can be referred to in actionscript?
For example I have a main page with actions on it and a library that contains a movie called: mymovie
How do I put the following without getting a '1120: access of undefined property mymovie' error?
Thanks
Attach Code
mymovie.stop();
Adobe > ActionScript 3

Help With Movie Clips Linkage
Hi - I'm relatively new to Flash but love it!! I would REALLY appreciate any help with this problem. I have a movie with the main menu system on the left containing 4 buttons. This menu is a movie clip placed onto the main stage. The main viewing area is in the centre where the info is displayed.
When the user rolls over one of the menu buttons the menu drops down with more buttons appearing in the menu, basically tweening to another point in the movie clip. I'm trying to get the buttons to link to other scenes but when clicked they just start the movie clip playing again!!
The web address is dizzy-heights.fsnet.co.uk so you can see what I mean. The buttons aren't "wired up" as such at the moment, but you'll see the drop down effect. The effect I'm after is for the text in the main viewing area to change when a menu button is clicked.
Hope you understand what I'm on about.
Cheers,
Si.

Flash Movie Linkage
Hey.
When you publish a new Flash .swf and .html file, the format expects both the Flash file and the HTML file to be together.
I need to save bandwidth on my webserver, so I was wondering. Is there a way to load Flash movies into an HTML file from an external server and play them from there? I'm just thinking of using my free, unlimited bandwidth server for hosting them, and then using my low-bandwidth dot com for viewing them. (If there is a way, would it also use up bandwidth on my dot com?)
If you could get back to me, it'd be appreciated.

Beginner Movie Clip Rollover
Alright. I am trying to get this to play. On rollover, and play backwards on mouse out.
After that I want it to become a button.
This particular movie clip is just something I made really fast, but I'm not sure how to make it play backwards or do the on mouseover part.
Thanks.

Beginner Flash Movie Question
Hi,
I am a beginner and am learning flash. I downloaded a trial version of Flash Professional v8.0 and have created a small movie. I used the following to embed movie in HTML file.
Code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="544" height="236">
<PARAM name="movie" value="testmovie.swf">
<PARAM name="quality" value="high">
<EMBED src="testmovie.swf" QUALITY="high" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="544" height="236"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Now the problem is the movie keeps playing i.e. looping. I want to play it once everytime when a user comes first time to a page or refreshed a page. Even though I unselected the loop option under
File->Publish Settings.
But somehow the movie keeps looping and playing over and over. How can I make it play only once. Thanks

Linkage And Movie Load Issues
I have a movie with a basic "loading..." animation at the beginning. However, I also have linked audio files (I have linked them in order to control them - start, stop, volume).
The problem is, with those sounds linked, the "loading" animation doesn't show up on the screen until the 80-90% of the entire movie is loaded.
If I unlink them and drag them to the stage (which diminishes the level of control I have over their playback), the "loading" animation pops up immediately.
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

question: how can I display those movies (with the linkage) in an other movie in the main swf??
(hope you can picture what I mean)
thnx?!

Attach Movie Linkage Problem
I've got a movie clip with a nav bar and the idea is that two of the buttons are supposed to attach a movie at level 1. So one should cancel the other load when loaded. Right. Problem is that for some reason, the first button is fine but the second one is loading the same linked mc as the first even though the linkage is different and never calls that movie clip. Actually the first time the second button is clicked, nothing happens at all. Only after I click the first button and THEN the second button does anything happen.
Here's my code:
stop();
cd_btn.onRelease = function(){
attachMovie("cdsub_mc", "sub_mc", 1);
sub_mc._x = 0;
sub_mc._y = 0;
}
downloads_btn.onRelease = function(){
attachMovie("dsub_mc", "sub_mc", 1);
sub_mc._x = 0;
sub_mc._y = 50;
}

Target Linkage Movie Clip
Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to target the linkage movie clips?
For instance, I have a component that has three children. Each children is associated with a linkage movie clip. And I have a button (named btn) in that linkage movie clip.
Then the component is loaded to level 10.
I used (for example):
_level10.child1.btn._visible=true;
but it didn't work, does anyone have a clue?

Beginner To AS3 - Load Movie Strange Problem
Hello flashers!
I'm new to AS3 and I feel pretty lost doing common things that usually in AS2 I would have no problem doing.
I have an as3 swf that loads another swf through a function. That loaded file is a photo gallery that I found on the net and it's available for download here. The thing is when I load that gallery from the main swf, it shows up double-sized! I tried everything I could think of, but the truth is I have no idea why that happens... I even tried limiting the size of the galery stage on the AS3 code, but nothing works...
Do you have any idea on why that's happening? Can anyone help? Thanks for your time!

Preload Sound As Separate Movie (beginner Help)
Hi-
I would like to preload a music file as a part of my main movie clip and then load it as a separate url when I want it to play. The only thing is that I want it to be in sync with my movie when it plays. I thought that if I could get it to preload than this may would work. I am very much a beginner at action script so you can let me know if I am dreaming! Thanks in advance!
I also have another quick question I followed this technote for how to make a sound toggle http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_14821 but I would like the music load with the sound on rather than the sound off. How could I change this? Thanks!

[as2]Flash Beginner Needs Help Removing A Movie Clip
Hi there,
I have a text field that loads HTML inside a movie clip, and I CAN remove all text with the following code, but not the textfield itself. No clickable buttons will work in that space after the text field has once been loaded there. Even when I manually remove the movie clip from the screen itself. Any suggestions?
This is the code I'm using:
homeButton.onRelease = function() {
tArticle.removeTextField();

Beginner Question With Movie Clip Buttons In CS3 / AS3
Hello,
I am building a simple website in Flash CS3 using AS3.0. I am using movie clip buttons to make drop down menus, but I can't seem to get the movie clip buttons to be able to control the main timeline. In AS2.0 you would use the _root syntax, but that no longer exists in AS3. I am thinking this must have to do with the new "event flow" thing, but I guess I just don't understand it yet. I've also tried naming scenes in the stage timeline and referencing those, but that also does not seem to work.
Here is the basics of the code:
(inside the MC movie):
btn_port1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, clickPort1);
function clickPort1(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Port1");
gotoAndStop("Port1");
}
Thank you so much to anybody who can give me a hint as to how to fix this!!!

Can I Open A Movie Symbol Using The Linkage Properites?
Is there a way to open a movie symbol with a button using the linkage properties in the library? Is that the reason for the linkage so you don't have to load a swf? I just have a movie that is not showing but then want to load it on screen. I'd rather not use the alpha to show it as not visible either. My main concern is seeing what you can do with the whole linkage thing. Thanks

[CS3] Linkage Identifier And Embedded Movie Clips
I would appreciate if anyone could help with the problem I am having referencing a linked movieclip.
I have a scroll pane with the instance name menuScroll. The scrollPane loads a linked movie clip called menuDropMC with the same instance name. MenuDropMC also loads several instances of a linked movie clip called moduleNameMC with the same instance name. The moduleNameMC contains a button called moduleBtn. I am trying to disable this button from root.
The moduleNameMCs are generated dynamically and are followed by a number using a for loop.("moduleNameMC"+i)
e.g. moduleNameMC0, moduleNameMC1, moduleNameMC2, etc.
I have tried the following:
_root.menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBt n.enabled = false;
menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enab led = false;
menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;
moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;
Thanks in advance.

[Flash8]SlideshowPro: (Beginner). Help Getting The Movie To Scale To The Browser.
Hey guys
I bought SlideshowPro and have created this gallery using it. However I'm having a lot of trouble getting the movie to scale to 100% width of the browser window.
I have already posted this on the SlideshowPro.net forums, but no one answers, not even when I email their support team.
Since this is something I paid money for, I'm probably not allowed to share the .fla file here, but I can show you the AS in the movie:
PHP Code:

Really NEW Beginner
Okay, I'm beyond new. I've done the tutorial/lessons in FlashMX, and I've printed off the ENTIRE 90 page Tutorial from Macromedia. I'm not stupid and I have NEVER had problems learning new stuff like this. So, here is where I stand.
I've tried two different movies. One is a classic "cut the jaw" off to make a picture talk. The other is a picture where I have a small part of text go from small to big, all of this one is hand-drawn.
The first one just did NOT work. I had it working then for some strange reason my computer decided it wanted to be restarted and it wasn't going to let me do one more thing, but that's my problem.
The second one when I "test the movie", doesn't work, but it does when I'm in the editor mode and I hit enter. This may not make sense, but if there is ANYONE who would just want to talk to me and help make one movie that uses things, then I'll be able to do ita gain. Of course, it would be nice to see how you all are doing things by opening them up and then following your train of though, but I can't find any that I can do that with. HELP ME!!!

AS Beginner
I'm just starting out with ActionScript.
I've put together an interface with a simple behavior attached to a button. There's an input box called enterNumber and a script that tests to see if the input is an odd or even number (using the modulo operator to test the value).
On the button is a simple script that says:
on (release) {
if (enterNumber%2 == 0) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}
If the user enters an even number, the movie should go to frame 2 where a message tells them they entered an even number. If they enter an odd number, they should go to frame 3 with an odd number message.
It's not rocket science I know, but I can't get it to work. In each case, the user gets taken to frame 3, which means that although the button is functioning, the script that decides the outcome is not.
To take a look for yourself, go to http://www.centpercent.com/user_input_001.swf
The .fla file can be downloaded at http://www.centpercent.com/user_input_001.fla
I would appreciate if somebody could tell me what I am doing wrong and also WHY it is wrong.
Many thanks,
Richard

Hi there, i'm a beginner at this flash lark, and am not that technically minded but have managed to build a small website in flash. I dont know how to get this on-line and also its only small at the moment (28k) but see it getting bigger as i add photos and sound, but i don't want to go too big. I'm hoping to get a propername.com as cheap as possible. I've secured some space through the lycos thing for free but was hoping i could use this space and somehow mirror a proper name to it.
If anyone could help i'd appreciate it!

Some Beginner Qs
Hi, I`m kind of new to flash and I have some questions I hope you can help me with ...
So here it goes ... I`ve seen all these cool effects on flash websites and pretty much understand how they can be accomplished in photoshop ... but ... is there any way that photoshop can communicate with flash quality lossless? Especially transparent blurry images .. stuff like that ...
... even if I import images to flash .. positioning it in concrete spot is really horrible ... because images seem to sift a little bit when the swf is published and the measurements are with coma. And if my image is as big as the stage... when published strange border appears in left/top sides.
If I import an swf file to flash all the images in it are with sick quality ...
Another thing i noticed is that when in explorer i toggeled the quality of the swf file ... the content moved a little bit too...
Well here it goes .. I hope you understood what I ment and can help me ... big thanks

Help A Beginner
Need Help. Some time ago I needed your comment on my Site www.mchagar.dk
and got the message back that Frames are a bad thing. So Iīve started making the same site in Flash.
Iīve attached the movie Iīm working on, and would like someone to look at it.
It starts with a front page where the user can chose Danish og German. Klik "Dansk".
this opens a page with our logo and a menu, Klik "Klub" Here I would like, when the user Klikīs for example "Medlemmer" to open, in the same page, a picture and some tekst, without loosing the top logo and the menu, and when the user klikīs "klub" again ( to reveal the Menu again) to to go back to frame 1, so that the user can start over.
I have always gotten great help here, so I hope to get it again.

Help An AS Beginner Please
Flash 8 Pro/AS 2.0
I'm working on my website below. I'm not a brilliant Actionscript genius yet, far to go. Looking for Tutorial on how to load external movies, while controlling the loaded movies from action with in the _root movie.
Goal: have the nav buttons load in the pages (separate created swf movies) into a Host movie container. While each swf movie has a transition playing out from it's stop point to animate the page swiping off, I give the buttons this AS:
//play out loaded movie
on(release) {
_root.myHost.gotoAndPlay("Playout");
//load linked movie
_root.content_mc.loadMovie("Home.swf");
}
"Playout" is a label in each movie, because each movie is not the same frame length, I can't use a frame number.
This works for the "HOME" nav button, but, I'm not getting it to work for other buttons, when I use the loadMovie("Film.swf") for example.
I would like to find a simple tutorial on this subject. I'm so eager to learn AS and yet, I find mySelf overwhelmed due to beginner's fatigue. Any recommendations for tutorials and Books is welcome. Just a great place to start, would be helpful. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
I am trying to make a simple swf that when clicking on different buttons, you see a different piece of text in a box on the side.
The buttons stay constant (on layer 1) and everything else changes on the other layers.
But the swf just runs through then all.
Am I forgeting something simple?
I have no clue why this is not working, I cut/pasted/changed variable numbers -- but I get errors from this:
I also have no clue how to have it stop on the start...
Thanks,
Mid
stop();

function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(5);

Very Much Beginner...
I havenīt written a single script in my entire life, but havenīt found any answers to my basic questions on the web...
1. Do I need to have blank line/lines in certain places in the actionscript?
2. Why is there i white square (with black borders) in the frame before a keyframe in the timeline?
3. Does the layer containing the actionscript have to be the "toplayer"?
4. Can I have several layers containing actionscript in the same movie? If yes, how do I know what actions they are controlling?

Before I Become A Beginner...
My video has 1800 frames and works without the need for Flash Communication Server if the end user has DSL. If embedded and the end user has a dial-up connection it will not download. Also, using dial-up it will not stream (I am using media components in 2004 Pro). Do I need to buy Flash Communication Server for the video to work when the end user has dial-up connection to the Internet?
Another way to ask the same question is: Is it true that Flash Communication Server is not going to stream and resolve the above problem if the client is a dial-up connection to the Internet.

Beginner Help
Heya all,
Was wondering if someone might point me in the direction to learn how to control a movie through the use of a slider bar (think the same slider bar you can control when viewing a dvd). I have a series of images that I've developed into a short movie that utilises various tweens and fades and ideally the user would be able to move back and forth using this slider bar. I've done a search (on most of everywhere on the net just about) and have been unable to find something like that I've described.
Unfortunatly I'm still very new to action-scripting so I haven't been able to work it out myself. If someone could point me in the direction of a tutorial maybe? Or even explain to me how I would get a slider bar attatched to a movie, I would be very much appreciated
