Swf Flickers When Loaded Through Other Swf
Hi there,

I'm importing 2 swf and 1 flv with the following code:

var mcloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var mcloader_Listener:Object = new Object ();
_global.loaderCounter = 0;
var mcsToLoad:Array = ["divine.swf", "divine_logo.swf", "divinelogo.flv"];
var mcsToLoadInto:Array = ["mainHolder", "logoHolder", "tpHolder"];
function loadingSequence (_m) {
while (_m < mcsToLoad.length) {
mcloader.loadClip (mcsToLoad[_m],mcsToLoadInto[_m]);
_m++;
}
}
loadingSequence (0);
mcloader_Listener.onLoadInit = function () {
loaderCounter++;
if (loaderCounter >= 3) {
mcloader.removeListener (mcloader_Listener);
}
};
mcloader.addListener (mcloader_Listener);

It loads the main one (divine.swf) ok, but the second one appears as a distorted flv file (red and black) that flickers, and the flv doesnt appear at all -

Actually when i test the divine_logo.swf on its own with the flash player, one out two times it does that flickering thing.

Can the file be corrupted?
is my code wrong?
help?

thank you in advance!

CS3, AS2: SWF Flickers When Using ExternalInterface.call
Hello,

I have a bug that I can't put my finger on. I'm using ExternalInterface to retrieve the file path of an FLV from a JS function. Then the FLV plays in my flash movie.

Everything works perfectly except that as soon as the call is made, the entire swf flickers.

I'm pasting what I think is the relevant code below. If anyone can help, this is a pretty urgent request... I'm stumped and behind deadline already! Thanks in advance

PHP Code:

var result="";
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function getTextFromJavaScript(str:String):Void {
    received_ti.text = "From JavaScript: "+str;
}

ExternalInterface.addCallback("getClipPath",this,getTextFromJavaScript);

function clickSend(eventObj:Object):Void {
    var jsArgument:String = sending_combo.value+" "+sending_ti.text;
    result = ExternalInterface.call("getClipPath", jsArgument, keyLocation[randLocation]);

    nsResult.play(result);
    nsResult.pause();

    // create a preload interval to check load progress every 1 millisecond
    myInterval = setInterval(checkBytesLoaded, 1, nsResult);
}

function checkBytesLoaded(nsResult)
{
    // calculate percentage of video that has downloaded
    pctLoaded = Math.round(nsResult.bytesLoaded / nsResult.bytesTotal * 100);

    if (pctLoaded>= 100)    {

        // play video from the beginning
        nsEntrance.pause(true);
        nsResult.seek(0);
        nsResult.play(result);
        resultObject_inst.gotoAndPlay("fadeIn");
        giveUp_button.enabled = false;
        send_button.enabled = false;
        sending_ti.enabled = false;
        sending_ti._alpha = 75;
        sending_combo.enabled = false;
        sending_combo._alpha = 75;
        // clear interval
        clearInterval(myInterval);
    }
}

send_button.addEventListener("click",clickSend);

Dynamic Loading An Mc Flickers At Pos X=1,y=1
hi, my problem is, that i load a jpg with a loader and when the image is available the image is shown at the location 1/1

i can set it in the loader routine onLoadInit to the destination coordinate to invisible but i see the image before on 1,1 coordinates and this makes a kind of flicker that i do not want.

in my opinion the reason for this is that a dynamic loaded mc gets initialized and so it comes to display at 1,1

wht can i do to prevent this?

thanks, anitaki

Object Flickers On Mouse Over & Out?
ActionScript Code:
btn0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, moveHoverOver);btn0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, moveHoverOut);private function moveHoverOver(event:MouseEvent):void{ trace("MOUSE IS OVER"); this.buttonMode = true; btnHover.x = event.currentTarget.x; btnHover.y = event.currentTarget.y; } private function moveHoverOut(event:MouseEvent):void{ trace("MOUSE IS OUT"); btnHover.x = -500; btnHover.y = -500; }
It traces both MOUSE IS OVER & MOUSE IS OUT (constantly, btw) when you roll over or roll out. What gives?

All Im trying to do is bring a little box (btnHover) over each button when they roll over and take it off when they roll out. If I change event.currentTarget.x; to a number, the flickering stops.

Dynamic Text Flickers As It Moves
Hi,

I have a dynamically created dynamic textfield. It uses a font which is stored in the library, and embedfonts is set to true. antiAliasType is set to "advanced".

When I move the textField along the x-axis it flickers. The motion is jerky.

My framerate is hovering between 28 and 30, so I don't think that's the problem.

I have tried several fonts and they all flicker in the same way.

Any ideas?

_ymouse To Control _mc But Last Frame Flickers
I want to use _mouse to control the playhead - this is my code

var playback:Number;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (playback>=_ymouse) {
wave_mc.nextFrame();
}
if (playback<=_ymouse) {
wave_mc.prevFrame();
}
if (playback == _ymouse) {
wave_mc.stop();
}

playback = _ymouse;
};

how ever if the mc gets to the last frame it flickers to the frame before and back to last one - rather than just stay on the last frame.

on the last frame of the mc I have put a stop() but it does not help.

can anyone explain and stop it

I have enclosed a fla if that helps to see

Flash Movie Flickers When Return To Frame1
I have a flash movie that plays once you click the submit button. The elements in the last frame match up with those in the first. However once the the movie gets the the end (frame 135) and gotoStop on frame 1 theres a flicker. Any way of avoiding this?

You will see that after it says "thank you. youve been added to the mailing list" the flicker happens.

Ive included the original fla (only 411kb unzipped) as well as a link the the swf.

[Flash8] Dynamic Texts Flickers And Can't Solve It
Hi guys,

I googled for 4 hours and read most of the posts that came up when searched for different tags I thought would match, and still have no answer. My problem is the following:

I have a dynamic text field that loads some text and a variable that counts down days, months (for an event lets suppose). It worked perfectly the first time I tested it, then cleaned up the code and that's when the problems started. You can see it here.

A crippled, ugly version with a different code (that does not work for the countdown) is still standing here. I've reached a point where I just give up. HELP!!!

oh!!! btw, here's the code:

Code:
var text1 = "
just a bunch of text

and so on
";
var text2 = "
for after varying one

";

var fecha_actual = new Date();
var monthfield = 12-fecha_actual.getMonth();
var dayfield = 34-fecha_actual.getDate();
var hourfield = 23-fecha_actual.getHours();
var minutefield = 60-fecha_actual.getMinutes();
var secondfield = 60-fecha_actual.getSeconds();

var difference:String = "
"+monthfield+" meses, "+dayfield+" dias, "+hourfield+" horas, "+minutefield+" minutos, "+secondfield+" segundos.
";

main_text.text = text1.concat(difference,text2);
where fecha_actual is the current time and difference is the string holding the varying text.

Any idea on how to solve this?? PLEASE!!!

THANK YOU BEFOREHAND!!!!!!

Swapdepths Help
I've been having problems with using swapdepths when loading movieclips into a main flash movie.

I have ten buttons that load ten movieclips into the main flash file. The movieclips have a bar across the top with startdrag action applied, and are loaded onto their own level, eg button1 one loads a movieclip onto level_1.

Can anyone help me to add a swapdepths action to the movieclips so that each movieclip comes to the front when pressed?

I've tried but can't get it working.

Thanks in advance.

SwapDepths? Please Help Me If You Can
action>object> swapdepths?

I am currently trying to create pannels that will swap levels when you click on them.

the two (or more ) movieclips that i am loading into a movie are pannels like the ones you see on your computer, I would like to know if you can change the levels of the pannels so that when you click on one or the other, the active pannel is moved to the front.

I have one movie that has two buttons in it that when pressed, load two other movie clips into the origional movie.
the two movie clips that get loaded are:
1) profiles.swf
2) services.swf
and the main movie is called "controller".

I just want to know how to change the levels so that the active pannel will come to the front when clicked and visa-versa.
If you can answer this that would be great, its been killing me for like a week!!!! thanks.

SwapDepths?
Can anyone help explain the Swap Depths function? Here is my dilema: I have a bunch of mcs on the stage and when moused over they expand, and when moused out they contract again. What I cannot figure out is how to make each mc be on top of all the other mcs when it expands. My guess is that the swapdepths function is what I need, but I cannot get it to work. I posted a small example here http://www.sevenagainst.com/test.htm . Notice when you mouse over the left mc, it expands underneath the right mc. The finished movie will have about 30 mcs total.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

SwapDepths
OK. I am ready to go insane. I want to have a project that has 5 areas (images) that when clicked become zoomed in on. So far I have 2 MC's (only 2 images so far to test and make sure it will work. If I can figure this out then I will add the other 3) and I have it so that whichever one is clicked on will resize the MC to seem as if it has been zoomed in on. THe problem that I have encountered is that when one image is enlarged, it overlaps the other image. I have tried every synatax of swapdepths and it doesn't work consistently. I have searched the forums for swapDepths and attempted the suggestions made in different threads, but still it does not work. I want whichever image is click to be on top. I am not sure if I put the code in the wrong place, or if I am using incorrect code. I don't know. I will be happy to e-mail anybody the .fla if they would like to see where I am going wrong.

SwapDepths Once... HELP
Hi!
I'm trying to make two mc's swap depths depending on witch one's in front of the other...

if (this._xscale>=114) {
this.swapDepths(_root.ball2);

does not work since the MC's toggle depths if "this" is bigger than 114. I want it to change depths once depending on the size of "this". And change back if it's smaller than 114...

SwapDepths
hi, i have been trying to figure out how to modify this code so that other instance names may be used other than "window". this code is from the actionscript.org tutorial located at http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...hs/index.shtml

on the main stage on a frame you have the script which sets the highest level to 2:
_level0:highest = "2";

then in the movie clips you have this code on a button the part in red is the instance name of the clips, im trying to get this to be basicly a wildcard so that the instance names dont have to be set to window0 window1 and so on:

on (press) {
this.swapDepths( "_level0:window" + _level0:highest );
_level0:highest = substring ( _name, 7, 1 );
startDrag(this);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

this is beyond my actionscript knowledge (im slowly progressing) so if anyone knows how to do this, or if its possible, help is greatly appreciated if you need me to explain more feel free to ask, my wording might be a bit off

SwapDepths Help...
I need to swap the depth of several movieClips but I am not sure how it works...

I am using a loop, where i takes the value of all the clips to be updated:

_root.timeline["barra"+i].swapDepths(i-1);

this is action is to decrement the depth of each clip, but it must not be working because attaching a new clip, makes the last one disappear...
Is this clear? Actually I am building a secuencer... blocks can be inserted to represent screens. The blocks can be deleted and there is where I need to slide all the blocks and modify their depths to equal them to their new index.

any help will be appreciated.

Swapdepths?
Has anyone dealt with these before? I have a problem that I thought may have been caused by draggable movie clips, but now I'm starting to think that the swapdepths that I have put on the movie clips may be the problem.

I have a frame that contains several draggable movieclips and everytime you move an MC it moves the swapdepth of that MC up one, so that the MC is always on the top. My problem is that when the user drags the MCs to the correct place, the movie moves them a few frames down the timeline. Those buttons are not in any of the new frames, but they will not leave if the user had moved them in the previous section. Why would this be?? How can i get around it?

Need SwapDepths Help...
Hi There...

Not sure I can even do this. I have a main movie with a separate MC for nav. On main movie load, the first movie clip loads to the side. Then if you click a button in the nav MC, another MC loads. This all works fine, just the way I want it to. On each of the top bars is a button to drag that particular MC. Here's the code:

Code:
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, 280, 120, 560, 380);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
The thing is, up to 6 MC's can be open at once. This is fine, as that's how it was designed. But, I would like to make it so that I can bring any of the MC's forward when the top bar is clicked on. Is this possible?

I'm using MX and publishing as F6. Everything is on layers, not levels, and I want to keep it that way. Which is why I'm not sure this is possible.

Thanks...

SwapDepths
Here is my problem...

I have a main MC that loads 6 other MC's into it. When a new MC's is loaded, the current MC is faded to say, 50%. Then the new MC's preloader begins, over the top of the current MC. How can I do this? It works fine when a movie is loaded into a level above it, but when an MC in level 2 trys to load an MC in level 1 it is blocked, because all my MC's are solid (containing pictures and info).

I used Flash Help, and decided that I should be using swapdepths to fix this problem, but it gave no example. Someone please help, as I have been trying to figure this out for the last three hours...

Mc.swapDepths
I could use some help. I have five buttons on the same layer. All I did was drag them out of the library onto the layer. The buttons overlap. When the user mouses over one of the buttons, I want it to move to the front of the other buttons so the entire image is revealed.

I am trying to use the swapDepths(depth) method (as per the suggestion of two helpful souls from this discussion) to make this work but I think I'm screwing it up. The items remain at their initial depth.

Here is the code for two of the buttons on the layer, GMPCHome and AboutUs

on (rollOver) {
GPMCHome.swapDepths(1000);
}
on (rollOut) {
GPMCHome.swapDepths(900);
}
on (release) {
getURL("about.html");
}

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

on (rollOver) {
AboutUs.swapDepths(1000);
}
on (rollOut) {
AboutUs.swapDepths(800);
}
on (release) {
getURL("about.html");
}

The idea is that even though the GPMC Home button is in front of AboutUs, when the user mouses over AboutUs (which is still about 90% visible), it will move to a depth higher than the GPMCHome button.

Please help, I have to deliver this in its completed state on Monday night.

Thanks!

[help] Swapdepths
hi guys,

i've read the sticky and that document is great. http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/flas...e.php?p=depths.

i have just a quick question for you:
i have 2mc's on the stage. 1 called 'hero' the other called 'square'. inside the 'square' mc are 2 mc's called 'square1' and 'square2'. is there anyway at all that i could make the hero appear infront of square 2 and at the same time behind square 1?

Quote:

from that document
The depths of objects can only be changed in respect to other objects within that same timeline. This applies to both actionscript and when working in the Flash authoring environment. What this means is that if you have two movieclips, clipA and clipB and they each have their own clips within, then those interior clips depths can not be changed or rearranged in relation to each other. The only way to rearrange their depth positioning is if you rearranged clipA's and clipB's depths directly which would then of course rearrange everything within those clips either above or below the other

does this mean the above question cannot be done?

thanks guys

Hi My problems have been narrowed down a bit to the swapdepths function but i cant implement it correctly.
I have 7 buttons when the mouse passes over any, it masks out the other 6, but, it does not work in the suggested manner, apparently its a problem of depths, as they are placed in the movie or something like that. anyway Im not really sure where the code should go to do the swapdepth function, I have been blundering around with this for near on 2 days and getting knowwhere

could someone look at what I have done and offer suggestions

Could anyone give me some pointers or steps on how to get the clip that was last clicked on to come to the front (top depth?) so it appears as though its falling in front of all others. Do I use the swapDepths method somehow? Thanks

SwapDepths
hey,

I have 4 images and on top of the images, i have 4 buttons. I put the images in MCs (mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4). And on the 4 buttons, i have this code:

Code:
on(release){
mc1.swapDepths(1000);
mc1.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
"start" is a simple fade-in animation.

Now, if you click buttons, the image loads on top of the buttons. I want it so that when you click a certain button, the image under the button chages and you're still able to see the buttons.

Something like this:
