Loadmovie Probs..
Hey I have a movie that in frame 1 action i have

currentDay = new Date();
currentMonth = new Date();
currentDay.getDate();
currentMonth.getMonth();
currentDM = new String("");
currentDM.concat(currentDay,currentMonth);
imageLocation = new String("");
textLocation = new String("");
imageLocation.concat("Images/Thumbs/",currentDM,".jpg");
textLocation.concat("Images/Text/",currentDM,".txt");

This is a WW2 History site and it gives a Picture and Txt description of what happened on this day.

This site is completely in Flash.

I have then made a empty movie clip and tried to load it with:

loadMovie (imageLocation, _root.Picoftheday)

I know there is something wrong with the concat or Image script...but I don't know what

[edit] When I go and replace the imageLocation with a jpg file for example "Images/Thumbs/215.jpg" it loads the picture fine...So I have been looking at the concat for about a couple of hours here and I am loosing my mind. [edit]

Probs With LoadMovie
Hi!! Am having some problems getting an external swf movie to load into an empty movie clip completely. Am not sure how to check and wait til its loaded. When loading locally its fine but across a network or online it won't appear. Am trying to use loadMovie with Flash MX. Cheers for any help....just cannot figure this out!!!

LoadMovie() Probs
Hi,

I just finished making my menu http://users.skynet.be/DevilMayCry/a...magemenu_2.swf . As you can see it works perfect. Now, I want to load this externally into my main website, so I do it with loadMovie("test_imagemenu_2.swf",_root.mcLoad); . This also works. But what doesn't? Well, my movie doesn't work anymore. I can still drag the thumbnail pics, put if I go over my target, it doesn't seem to recognize it, so the pic goes back to the original place and the pic was not enlarged.

Anyone know how to fix this?? It would be a great help.

Thnx,
Spirit Wolf

More LoadMovie Probs
Hello!

I have a web site that is one main movieClip with 9 different swf that are loaded in using the loadMovie action (targetting a moviClip called 'placeholder')

Everything is working fine... until:
one of the loaded swf's has a component on it. It is called Fader and is part of the simple effects library available from flashcomponents.net. it is simply a box that fades in and out on rollOver/Out.

when the whole site was one big flash movie, these (I have duplicated it a couple of times) worked fine, but as soon as I've split the whole thing into seperate swf's, they don't wanna work!!!!

Does anybody else know anything about this, or can maybe help shed some light on my predicament?!!

Any help would be much appreciated!

:O)

Loadmovie Probs....cheers
Hi All,

For some strange reason i have to click nav buttons twice to load the movie

I am using the code below that loads into a generic MC (containergeneric) that is used by all nav buttons with the same code...(obviously loading relevant movies)

Anyone know why this might be happening ??

Cheers for your help

URL: http://www.millenniumit.com.au

<Code>
on (release) {
loadMovie("illuminator.swf", "_root.containergeneric");
setProperty ("_root.containergeneric", _y, "26");
setProperty ("_root.containergeneric", _x, "0");
tellTarget ("_root.containergeneric") {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}

</Code>

LoadMovie() Probs With Netscape
I'd greatly appreciate any help with this one.

I'm just developing my new website. In the gallery section,when you click on the link, it runs a whizzy animation thing then loads a new .swf depending on what button is pressed - standard stuff. Or so I thought...

http://www.bigblueshed.co.uk/

The file is produced with Flash MX. It all works fine in Internet Explorer.

To an extent it works in Netscape (4 to 7). However, when it gets to the LoadMovie bit, after the animation, nothing appears on screen, even though Netscape seems to be registering activity as though it is loading the movie into place. Unfortunately it just stays blank on screen.

There is an invisible mc which loads the .swf into another mc called 'filmholder'. All the fun happens in an mc called 'buttons'. 'film'is the variable assigned when said button is pressed.

mUrl = "../flash/gallery_"+film+".swf";
_root.buttons.filmholder.loadMovie(mUrl);

Like I say, in IE it all works fine. And Netscape seems to be finding it, just not showing it, which aint good.

Am I missing something obvious here? Please tell me if I am, my eyesight is starting to fade now.

Thanks very much

Loadmovie Updating Probs
Hello everybody, I'm trying to load a movie into another which is ok , and it works when i put it online. but now I made some design changes on the movie in level 1. When exported to.swf it works fine, but even though I've exported, saved, deleted the original .swf and done everything I could , when I put the dreamweaver file onto the web it still shows the old version of the level1 movie (all changes i've made to the level0 movie are updated fine) so I dont bloody know what to do anymore . Help please!!

Thanks,

For Pellepiano - Probs With Loadmovie/jpg's
you seem to have a handle on this, so perhaps you can help with what seems to be an obscure problem-- i'm using flash MX (6).

this is code i've written to load a series of JPG's into separate movie clips....

works pretty good, except that i can't get a return on the "_width" property in order to set the position....

settin "_y" works fine... setting "_x" with a number works fine... but when using an expression to calculate the position, it all falls apart....

for(i=1;i<=12;i++){
newmovie = "pica"+i;
duplicateMovieClip("movieCont",newmovie,i);
setProperty(newmovie,_visible,false);
setProperty(newmovie,_alpha,0);
loadMovie("gallery/people/people_"+i+".jpg",newmovie);
_root[newmovie]._y = 72;
_root[newmovie]._x = 720-(_root[newmovie]._width);
dog = getProperty(_root[newmovie],_width);
cat = _root[newmovie]._width;
}

the 'dog' and 'cat' variables are there just for debugging, but both return "0"

as you see, the _alpha and _visible are both 'off' so that the image can be displayed later with a button.. and i've tried moving the code to the action on the button-- just in case it was not wanting to read '_width' until after the jpg was fully loaded... no good there either....

any ideas???

TIA

Loadmovie Into Target Probs.
HI! this is my first post! wohooo! i was attempting the tutorial :
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm
but sadly i seem to have failed...i am....a moron!
but i am sure you guys will help me out

ok, this is how my movie is set up. very basic, main mc, with 4 buttons on the right hand side, which load up external swf...button3, loads up what i want to be a list of things i "supposedly" can do...this is where i get lost, totally!
i want this mc with the list, to be split into 2 (vertically)...so the idea is, that when you click on something on the list, it loads up a little info on the right hand side of that same mc....but i want it to load external swf, so its easier to update (right???)
****, this doesnt make much sense...if some1 does understand it, brilliant
thanks...if you would like my fla, email me i would be more than happy to send..

adios!

Loadmovie Script Probs
i have a certain section in my main movie (home.swf) when its reached i want a external .swf movie (called chi.swf) to load into a section of the main movie. i have already created a base blank movie where i want the movie to load into called movieContainer i have entered the following code

the movie loads up at the moment but not into the main movie and the right postion it just loads on its own. can anyone help please

Probs With File Paths, Loadmovie
i have a swf that loads up some pics from a certain folder. it works fine on its own, but when i try to load the loader swf into a new movie, the relative file path gets lost, ie, if the main movie is in root, and the secondary movie is in root/filmstrip, and the pics that load up into the secondary movie are in root/filmstrip/pics, then the movie in root that is including the secondary movie causes the secondary movie to look for root/pics. which of course is wrong.

i know i could just dump everything into one folder, or coding the secondary movie to use paths relative to the first, and then would not be able to use the secondary movie outside of the first....

is there a way to keep things relevant? something like the "this." identifier, but for filepaths??

LoadMovie Loses The Plot...targeting Probs
the code below sets up a little navigation for a section of my portfolio site. each section is a different swf.

i = -1;
for (n=0; n<24; n++) {
xDist = 43.3;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.square_mc, "square_mc" add n, n*20);
if (n==0) {
this["square_mc"+n]._y = (43.3/2);
this["square_mc"+n]._x = (43.3)-(43.3/2);
this["square_mc"+n].number = n;
a ="a" + n;
this["square_mc"+n].gotoAndPlay(a);
}else if ((n>0) && (n<12)) {
this["square_mc"+n]._y = (43.3/2);
this["square_mc"+n]._x += n*43.3-(43.3/2);
this["square_mc"+n].number = n;
a ="a" + n;
this["square_mc"+n].gotoAndPlay(a);
trace(this["square_mc"+n]._x);
} else if (n>=12) {
i++;
this["square_mc"+n]._y = (43.3+(43.3/2));
this["square_mc"+n]._x += i*43.3-(43.3/2);
this["square_mc"+n].number = n;
a ="a" + n;
this["square_mc"+n].gotoAndPlay(a);
trace(this["square_mc"+n]._x);
}
}

this works spot on in the individual swfs that I create. however, when I load it into the main swf it doesn't recognise which level it is on and doesn't spawn the menu.

How can I make this work in my main movie??

I need to keep the menus separate from the main as there are going to be lots of little images which will result in too big a file if it was contained all-in-one...

Any help is alway appreciated,

Timer, And Volume Control Probs. Using LoadMovie
Hey all,

I am using loadMovie to load an .swf into a container. The swf contains an audio player that has pause, stop, play, and volume control. Most of it is working just fine...the audio player loads into the container and the play, pause and stop buttons work.

Whats not working is the volume controller and the timer. I believe the reason the play, pause and stop work is because the actionscript is inserted right onto those buttons. Where as the volume controller is an MC with two more MCs inside of it which contain the AS and to top that off the MC used to move the volume slider has a button inside with more AS. IS there a way to make these internal AS work or will I have to find a way to bring all those internal MCs to the main timeline?

Those internal MCs use the _root. command so I thought if I took them to the main timeline and removed the _root. it would work...but it didn't. If you need me to send the FLAs please let me know I will post a link ASAP. Any help, suggestion even thought will be well thanked .

Take care.

UnloadMovie/loadMovie Once Uploaded To Server Probs
Hi all,

I have an empty mc on a layer and given it an instance name (mcTest). From another layer I have buttons to load external swf's into the empty mc and also a button to unload the mc.

Everything works great when running it on my local machine but as soon as I upload it to my webhost, the first mc I load works fine but after that, I cant unload or reload any other swf's into the mc.

It seems as if I have lost scope of the mc or something. Here is the code I am using.

PHP Code:

//frame 1 actionscript layer
_root.mclayer = mcTest;  // for some reason I can't obtain the mc unless define a variable to reference the mc

//button 1 event
on (release) {
   _root.mclayer.loadMovie("movie1.swf");
}
//button 2 event
on (release) {
   _root.mclayer.loadMovie("movie2.swf");
}
//button 3 event
on (release) {
  _root.mclayer.unloadMovie();
}

If anyone has any pointers on what might be causing this, and also to obtain the scope of mcTest from the button events without me having to declare the _root.mclayer variable would be great (mcTest.loadMovie... doesn't work if I try to use in the button events).
I am using flash mx.

Thanks in advance.

[f8] Navigational Bar
Hello all.

I'm a bit new here, but I'm having a problem with Flash, and was hoping someone might have run into it before.

I didn't see another thread about this, but if I missed it, just point me in the right direction and I'll be on my way.

Anyway, I am trying to create a navigational bar consisting of several Images in a row.

I'm trying to make it so that, as you move the cursor over them, the one you are closest to will get bigger, and the rest will get smaller, sliding out of the way to make room for the enlarging picture.

And each picture is also a link to take you to another page of the site.

There is a similar style bar here: http://vadifference.virginamerica.com/vadiff/index.html

I keep thinking I understand Flash, then something like this comes along and throws me for a loop.

Any help that anyone could offer would be great.

Thank you all very much.

3d Navigational System
Can someone help with the scripting to make a 3d navigational menu.

Check out http://www.fifthrotation.com to see what I'm talking about. Click on the menu and the 3d navigational system is the 6th button.

I have some sort of idea of how to work something like this out, but I'm looking for suggestions. I'm not that good at math, and I can only assume there are tons of math equations involved.

Navigational Problem, Please Help
I have a button inside a movie clip and I have an instance of that movie clip on my main stage (timeline). How can I get the movie clip to take me to a diff scene on mouse up or release. I can send it to a frame or label within the same time line, but I can't seem to take it to the next/other scene.

I tried placing this script on the instance in the main timeline.

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("gallery", 1);
}

Navigational Nightmare

I have a movie which can be viewed using a click through navigation system or sat through automatically. To do this I have two movies back to back and leap from one to another depending on the users selection. Unfortunately with 14,000 frames this can't be done. Is there anyway of implamenting this system with just one movie.

Navigational Forethought
Greetings,

As I've been constructing navigation for a project, I'm becoming acquanted with what can be done with an imported swf vs placing a movie clip within the main time line but I've gotten to a point where I feel I should have thought about what gets imported vs placed a bit more before jumping into it.

What I'm constructing is navigation with some extra goodies. Here the construction:

a. several linked rollovers that animate on rollover and open a seperate html page on click. All 3 links/animations are saved as a seperate file so they can be loaded into an anchor movie into position.

b. some scrolling text also saved as a seperate file so it can be loaded into an anchor movie.

c. Rotating banners: These banners are created within flash and saved as seperate files so they can be loaded into a master banner ad file timeline and loaded. This movie is then loaded into an anchor movie.

The anchor movie contains everything else, graphics, a few other nonanimated links etc.

I seperated items a, b and c becuase I felt it was important to be able to change or add to any of these without having to open the anchor movie or risk getting it messed up in the event some one else has to work on it. By doing this, I've turned this into several components, each loaded into the anchor movie.

What I've noticed happening is when you open this page, the navigation builds one component at a time. It does so rather quickly but none the less one at a time.

I know that some studios like to create raster files in pieces because the load quicker (that's up for debate) so I thought I'd try the same philosophy on a Flash file, plus, it seemed the only way I could get a certain thing to happen was if I loaded it as a seperate swf movie.

Is this component construction a good idea (creating several small files which are loaded into a main movie) or should I have as much as possible in the anchor movie (one large file).

Navigational Question
I have a navigation bar at the top, its inside of a movie clip. I have 5 buttons I just made within the bar.

How would I make 2 bars I made on the track go to a certain button when I hover over it and go to 100% alpha cause it has to start out as 0%?

I seen a way to do it on there, but it requires putting the buttons within movie clips, and well I can't do that since they are already in a movie clip and I don't want to get everything un-organized. I got enough movie clips as it is

Navigational Knobs
Hi, I am trying to make some knobs for the navigation of my site. I downloaded an example by senocular (cheers for that) and that works fine. I now have a movable knob.
My problem is I only want three actual choices for each knob, one at the top and then two at the bottom, in an almost triangular formation (If you can't picture it i've attatched a jpeg).

How can i

a: Make the knob snap to the nearest of my three choices when mouse released?

b: Make it so the knob won't turn between the lower bottom points, making point 1 minimum and point 3 maximum?

Any help would be brilliant but i am a complete beginner at actionscript.

Cheers, will

Navigational Question

Navigational Problem, Please Help

Thanks

Navigational Disfunction
It has been some time since I have tried to do this so please forgive me. I created my navigation. Instead of allowing it to reside on the main timeline, I decided to place it within a movieclip. The movieclip plays as expected, however the buttons no longer work. How do I get my buttons to work?

Navigational Problems, Cap'n
I've attached the navigation I am using for my forum but I am completely lost on how to fix it up and stuff. What I want to happen is to have each little circle change colors on RollOver (I made a frame 2 inside each movie clip with how I want it to look) and then on click go to the specific page, obviously by getURL. But I'm just having problems pulling everything together. My biggest problem is that I want to display some text for each one in a box. For instance if you rollOver the left most circle the word "Members" should show up in a box. I know that I could just make a movie clip with a whole bunch of different frames with all the words and link them together, but considering its just text I figured there might be another way to do it.

So basically, I'm really really confused and need help

Navigational Slider
Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to make a navigational slider. Basically, I need a horizontal slider, with a knob that automatically moves to the right as the narration audio plays. It needs to stop if the pause button is pressed. Also, if you drag the slider to the right or left, it should advance or rewind the audio to that particular spot. If anyone has a script for something like this or has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Arrays Used With Navigational Decisions
i have 6 buttons on my main navigation panel.

Each button plays a movieclip that brings in text information and plays a 3D animation. The animation lasts for 20 frames from start to finish. The last frame is where all the information is displayed on the main stage.

As i press any of the buttons i want Flash to check to see whether any of the other buttons have already been pressed (and the corresponding movieclip has played)

If flash finds that any of the movieclips have already been played i have an instruction to rewind the clip and play the clip relating to the button that has just been pressed. If no buttons have already been pressed then flash only plays the movieclip relating to the button pressed.

I have script that uses alot of "if" and "else if" statements looking at ._currentFrame positions and boleans set false if a clip is on frame 1 and true for any other frame.

Should i be using arrays to sort through the data more efficiently.

If so then can anyone direct me to a related tutorial or give me further instruction on the matter.

Example code on one of the buttons

//code starts here

on (release) {
if (_root.but2._currentFrame == 10) {
_root.but2.play();
play ();
} else if (_root.but2.boolbut2 == true) {
_root.but2.gotoAndStop(1);
play ();
} else if (_root.but3._currentFrame == 10) {
_root.but3.play();
play ();
} else if (_root.but3.boolbut3 == true) {
_root.but3.gotoAndStop(1);
play ();
} else if (_root.but4._currentFrame == 10) {
_root.but4.play();
play ();
} else if (_root.but4.boolbut4 == true) {
_root.but4.gotoAndStop(1);
play ();
} else if (_root.but5._currentFrame == 10) {
_root.but5.play();
play ();
} else if (_root.but5.boolbut5 == true) {
_root.but5.gotoAndStop(1);
play ();
} else if (_root.but6._currentFrame == 10) {
_root.but6.play();
play ();
} else if (_root.but6.boolbut6 == true) {
_root.but6.gotoAndStop(1);
play ();
} else {
play ();
}
}

//code ends here

In this particular script there is no use of the code that plays the movieclip backward - all this does is see whether a clip is on frame 10 and if so then it plays the clip further - frame 10 onward in each clip is a reverse of the first 10 frames.

Can any of this code be put into arrays and examined sequentially?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Navigational Menu Bar - Question
Hopefully this is a simple question. I have created a navigational menu bar that has 12 different sections that the visitor can choose from. I would like to have this navigational bar stay at the top as the viewer moves from section to section. The navigational bar is somewhat complex (at least to me) and has multiple layers. What is the proper way to place the navigational menu bar on each section? Do I just copy and paste the frames that span over several layers and change some of the basic scripting or is there an easier or more correct way to do this?

Thanks for any feedback,
Tom

Please suggest me any code(scripting) that should not take lots of buttons to make and should not take more time to load.

Any Suggestion will be appreciable...

Advice On Where To Add The Navigational Links
Here is the main page of the site I'm making, http://coruffryders.com/ where do you think would be the best place for the navigational links? left side or bottom?

Rotating Navigational Menu
If any of you have ever played Tomb Raider or something and have seen the menu, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Basically it's a circular-motioned rotation of icons. What I want to do is when you move the cursor towards the left side of it, it moves to the right and vice versa. Then you can make a selection through that navigational menu.

Are there tutorials that are like this on Flashkit or other sites? Hwo would I make something like this? Would it be easy?

Help is much, much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

[F8] Basic Navigational Issue

Help With Reusing Navigational Buttons
hi, i have created a scrolling text out of a dynamic text box and i have used two triangles (one pointing up, and one pointing down) as buttons with this script attached to them respectivly
ActionScript Code:
on(release){
facil_text.scroll -=1;
}
and
ActionScript Code:
on(release){
facil_text.scroll +=1;
}
. now this works fine the first time i use it. in a separte frame on the timeline i need scrollable text again (different text) so I created the new dynamic text box, gave it an new instance name, draged the same buttons (triangles) from the library to the stage, gave it a different instance name and tried to script them so they would scroll the second dynamic text, but nothing happened. i was able to overlap the first and second text boxes on the same frame and even though the second set of buttons were set to scroll the second dynamic text they were scrolling the text in the first dynamic text box. so i guess my question is, how can i reuse the same buttons to do different functions in different parts of the timeline. i was thinking that by seperating them with a keyframe and then writing the script for a button, would limit that script only to that keyframed section. Any suggestions are greatly appriciated. i'm relativley new to action scripting. I am using Flash MX Pro 2004
thank you for any help in advance.

Tube Fittings--->Tube to male-->Metric and Fractional.

Something like

TUBE FITTINGS-//

---------- 1. Tube to male pipe thread-//

---Metric/Fractional

---------- 2. Tube to Female pipe thread-//

---Metric/Fractional

---------- 3. Tube to Tube-//

---Metric/Fractional

and so on ......

When I roll over on "Tube fitting", Tube to male....menu should appear, and when I roll over on it, "Metric/Fractional" should appear and it's having two different link for each. Every metric/Fractional buttons having a link. And there are around 60+ menu i've to make on same page.

Please suggest me any code(scripting) that should not take lots of buttons to make and should not take more time to load.

Any Suggestion will be appreciable...

Navigational Sliding Element On RollOver
hey actionscripters.

i'm trying to tween the navigation for this site i'm doing. i have an ornamental graphic symbol that i want to slide up and down (no x-axis movement) as the mouse rollsOver the navigation.

it is actually the exact idea of the animation on this sites' navigation:

i don't really know how to approach this. does the sliding element need to be a movieclip? what commands am i going to use?

what do you think?

thanks.

Flash Navigational Bar Within Html Page...
hey all, flash mx 2004,,

I have what seems to be a pretty basic problem, hope someone can answer

I have an html page which has a flash navigational bar at the top. Both the flash bar and the html page are in the same frame, different tables. The tables within the page have different backgrounds, then text is input into various tables, the usual routine.

My question is, how can I get the buttons in the flash navigational bar to link into the html page and alter the backgrounds and data content of the tables?

Or will I have to put the flash bar and the rest of the page into separate html frames, with each flash button linking to a different frame? If so please outline how I would setup the button to only alter the frame rather than bring up another page!

Many Thanks!
