Flash :: Draggable Window .swf Not Working When Loaded In A MC & Loadmovie; Works Otherwise?

LoadMovie: Loaded Swf W/ Sound Not Working
Hello,

I've spent 2 days combing thousands of threads and after several million attempts, I'm stuck on this.

I have simple play-stop button loop player, loading into my main movie. The player movie loads fine on its own, however loaded into the movie in an MC the buttons aren't functional.

I did come across the script here that noted how to include a 'this' in the line my_sound = new Sound(this); and I finally got the sound loading in the main movie, but the buttons are still not linking to each stop and play position.

I know this problem lies within the player code, howver after bleeding my brain for a few days I'm stuck.

My code for the player movie:

my_sound = new Sound(this);
my_sound.attachSound("sundancer");
my_sound.start(0,1000);
gotoAndStop("stop");

For each button:

on (release) {
_root.my_sound.start(0,1000);
_root.gotoAndStop("stop");
}

on (release) {
_root.my_sound.stop();
_root.gotoAndStop("play");
}

I did try using _parent with no success, so this is what I've been working with originally. My code for the main movie w/empty MC:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("loop_player", 5);
loop_player.loadMovie("loop_player.swf", "loop_player");
loop_player._x = 100;
loop_player._y = 100;

I know someone here can help me!

many thanks in advance

Pop-up Window From Flash 8 Not Working (but It Works From Flash 6 MX)
Hi!
This sure is a silly thing although I haven't been able to find the solution yet.
I always used this in order to open a Pop-up window from Flash MX, however, this same piece of code does not work when exporting the movie for a Flash 8 player.
code: on (release) {
getURL("javascript:newWindow=window.open('PopIC.ht ml','MYGALLERY','height=550,width=450');newWindow. focus(); void(0);");
}
(NOTE: It's 'MYGALLERY', don't know why it displays 'MYG ALLERY' in this AS code above... )
Any help please?

Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Manare

Draggable Window
I have this working script for a draggable window:-

on (press) {
startDrag("/well", false, 0, 0, 640, 480);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

I can't figure out what the part in bold does, it works with and with out it.

false, 0, 0, 640, 480

I think the 640 and 480 may be the drag area, Any Suggestions? If you know please gimme loads of detail!

Help With Draggable Image Window
I am creating a site that will include 8 scenes containing a lot of images in each along with text.
I would be very grateful to hear from any flash experts that can instruct me how to create a draggable image window.

Firstly, do you need to make a separate draggable window for every pic?

Ideally I would like to load each picture from the _root folder when selected, into the draggable window.

I am a real novice at flash, and you must forgive my inexperience but I am very keen to learn this program, with your help of course!
In a step by step format please

Resizeable, Draggable Window.
ok, i'm quite happy with draggable windows, done that.

i'm happy with resizing a movieclip.

i've used the tutorial at http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-726/index.php which is all very well, but i'm creating a window to display a blog, and i'd really prefer it if when i resized the window, it didn't scale the text up.

i was thinking maybe creating a text box on the fly and linking the size of it to the movieclip being resized (not having the textbox as part of the movieclip, but maybe sitting on top of it) to match the dimensions of the movieclip as it resizes (with a border of course).

anyone got any ideas on this ? anyone know of a tutorial on resizing windows like this and keeping the text a consistent size ?

cheers

The Omni Draggable Window...
Now I have used the forums search tool. Yes some explain quite well what to do, others not so much because they were helping more experienced users who didn't need much explaining. But these threads don't explain everything, they are little old(for Flash MX), not sure if Flash 8 has easier methods for achieving a draggable window and so forth.

But I notice that right now the more popular and ,may soon be, standard thing showing up are scrollable draggable windows. No animation in them, yet.
An example I found looking at a flash template for refferences of interactivity...

Please read the 2 bubbles of text near the right and bottom
that I added...

I really don't know where else to turn. I know it's a big mouth full of info. How do you make draggable window, how do you make a scrollable draggable window, what methods are best when make multiple buttons that use draggable windows for extra content.

I think the popularity of the draggable window is growing faster then the communities knowledge of it. it seems so far away from knowing how to just add pages with transitions and other animations. Yet it's just a little window lol

Any help in making this would be very much appreciated (too bad there isn't a tutorial of this on the site).

Multiple Draggable MCs Not Working
Hi.

I have a simple problem. I have two different movieclips. Inside BOTH of the movieclips is a button (the same button, actually) with the same code:

PHP Code:

on(press) {
    drag=true;
}
on(release, releaseOutside) {
    drag=false;
}

Then on each movieclip I have the following code:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if (this.drag) {
        trace("clip1 drag = " + this.drag);
        this.startDrag();
    } else {
        this.stopDrag();
    }
}

(note: the trace line reads "clip2 drag..." etc on the second clip.) Anyway, when I just put one of these on the stage, then it works fine. When I put the other one on there, then only one works! The output looks correct (always "clip1 drag = true" when I am supposedly dragging the first clip and "clip2 drag=true" when I'm dragging the second one). Anybody have any ideas why this isn't working?

Here is the FLA if you want to play with it: dragtest.fla

Thanks,

~j.

[MX04] Confining A Draggable Window
Iv'e got a draggable window and I need to keep it inside a pre-defined area, Ie a box which is 800px x 600px. The script for the draggable window is on a hit-area inside the window mc, and consists of simply:

PHP Code:

    startDrag(this, false);

on (release) {

Draggable Movie Clip Qua Window
Hello,

I'm a total actionscript novice, but have found a flash effect that I very much want to replicate on my site. An example of it can be found at www.secondstory.com.

I am especially impressed by the fact that no matter what the browser window is resized to, the floating window never goes past the edges of it, so vertical and horizontal scroll bars aren't "generated".

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Button Not Working Inside Draggable Mc
K, so I've got a button inside a mc. The mc is made draggable via some script on the main timeline:
[as]
mc_instance_name.onPress=function(){
this.startDrag();
}
mc_instance_name.onRelease=function(){
this.stopDrag();
}

Works fine. (this is an attachMovie clip by the way).
So i put an invisible button inside this movieclip so when pressed it would close the mc (removeMovieClip()

Doesn't work now since the mc is now draggable. I've tried different ways to hitTest but nothing working.

Any ideas?

Draggable Mc With Dynamically Loaded Text
I'm using Flash MX and have a basic understanding of Actionscript.

I have a mc. The mc is supposed to resemble a small window with a title bar. The 'window' can be minimized, maximized, and closed. The mc ('window') is draggable. Inside that mc are a number of buttons (one of which is the buttn that makes the mc draggable).There is also another movieclip into which I want to place a text box that dynamically loads a text file. The code =

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("news.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.newstext;
};

The text file loads fine. The problems now are:
1 The main mc - 'window' - drags erratically. It's jumpy and hesitates.
2 The other problem is that when I minimize my window (using : on (release) {setProperty("_root.win.bottombar", _yscale, "0");} )the lowerpart of the window disappears, but the text stays visible!!!!!

The same thing happens when I close the window (using:
on (Release) {setProperty("_root.win", _alpha, "0");} ).
The dynamically loaded text stays visible!!!

I certainly hope someone has an answer that will solve this issue for me.

Centering A Movie Inside A Draggable Window
I have a draggable window that is placed in a movie at the level 3. I have a button in level 0 that when I pressed it will load a movie into the draggable window. I want the movie to be centered into the window because I have a drag bar and it will look nice if the movie is centered. So far I was able to load the movie but since it loads into the left upper corner the bar sometimes look small and not in the center. What should I do?
Your help is appreciated.

Draggable Window Shade Menu Problems
Hi - This is a very FUNctional menu that I'd like to incorporate, but am running into some trouble.

The first layer is the draggable bar (which is converted to a button, with start/stop drag actions - therefore with no reference to an Instance Name. The next layer is a rectangular mask and the third (masked layer) works like a window shade that you can pull down to reveal the copy or buttons, etc. This is a movie clip with a nested button - start/stop drag & constrain to rectangle actions are added.

When these elements are together alone on screen - they work fine when I test the movie. However, the big problem is, even when I recreate this menu window from scratch in another movie, it does not work on its own. When tested, the first layer (draggable bar) ends up being able to drag the entire content window.

Why is this happening? I would imagine it should retain its properties to work as it supposed to. I've tried turning the first layer's draggable bar into a movie clip, then nest the drag action in a button, but that only succeeds in liberating it from the window shade masked layer - which is now not draggable, but does go up & down.
HELP? Anyone? Thanks!

Draggable Window Shade Menu Trouble
Hi - first time "caller" to Kirupa! Thanks - thanks very much - good to be here!

My problem is this: I've found this great, useful menu system that allows the user to both drag it around, and pull down a masked layer to reveal either content or buttons, etc.

It's comprised of 3 layers - the first is the draggable bar or graphic out of which the window shade effect is pulled. It's a button with a drag action attached (not made into a movie clip first, then assigned a button behavior - a button from the start with no reference to instance name.

The 2nd layer is the rectangular boxed mask layer and the 3rd is the masked layer that contains the image to be pulled down in the window shade effect. This is a movie clip with a nested button. The MC has a start/stop drag action on it, with constrain to rectangle checked - with l,r,t & b coordinates.

Test the movie, works great! Both the draggable bar or grahic, AND the window shade layer are connected and able to be dragged together. (somehow, as I don't understand how they are linked to one another with no real reference to each other)

The main problem is this: when I add another layer containing another draggable MC or anything else, go to test the movie and for some reason, now the draggable menu bar is either separated from it's window shade and can be dragged around independantly (which I don't want) and/or it is now connected to the other MC and drags everything around on stage, at the same time.

Would anyone have the answer to how I can implement this great menu system into my project without it forcing everything else to be dragged around? I'm sure it's a quick fix, but I need the fix...man! Help is greatly appreciated!

Buttons Not Working When Draggable Object Is Present

onClipEvent (load) {

But, I have simple buttons right next to this movie clip and they're not working--the hand doesn't appear when I mouse over and when I click nothing happens as well. Also, the actionscript I'm using for the mouse-following movie clip may be causing the error, it was an experimental script that happened to work.

Draggable Movie Clip Loaded From Library

window._x = -300;
window._y = 200;
}

Works great. Then inside this movie clip, I have an invisible button with the following script:

on (press) {
startDrag(window);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

This allows the movie clip that popped up to be draggable. This also works perfectly.

My problem is, the button will only attach the movie clip on the first scene. I currently have it loading in level 1. Does anyone know how I can work around this?? Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Draggable Clips In Swf Not Workin In Loaded Level
I've got a project that takes place on different levels.

In _level0 is the main navigation.
In _level1 is the secondary navigation with draggable items.

The movie in _level1 has several drag and drop clips.
When I publish/play the .swf on it's own it works fine. When I play it loaded into _level1, it drags but does't recognise the targetMC it's dropped on and so the 'triggerMC' doesn't work at all.

I've tried a couple different things. Referencing the draggable objects and target using _level1. The draggable objects only become draggable when loaded in _level1 however the targetedMC code will still not work?

Major stress please advise.

Draggable Scroller With Dynamic Xml Loaded Text How To?

Can't find a way to do it as the the lenght of text for the textbox is variable so I can't have a fixed _y\_x based scroller.

Could anyone show me directions?

Code:

var news:XML = new XML();
news.ignoreWhite = true;
news.onLoad = function() {

      dnews += news.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[j].toString();
      dnews += chr(13)+chr(13);
   }
}
};
news.load("news.xml");
//------------- Scroll
scrolldown.onRollOver = function() {
over = true;
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
   if (over == true) {
      dnews.scroll+=1;
      if (dnews.scroll >= dnews.maxscroll) {
         delete this.onEnterFrame;
      }
   }
}
}
scrolldown.onRollOut = function() {
over = false;
}

scrollup.onRollOver = function() {
overup = true;
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
   if (overup == true) {
      dnews.scroll-=1;
      if (dnews.scroll <= 0) {
         delete this.onEnterFrame;
      }
   }
}
}
scrollup.onRollOut = function() {
overup = false;
}

Working Buttons Inside A Draggable Movie Clip, Lil Help Please
First I just want to introduce myself and say Hi to everyone, This is the first forum I joined and I am an actionscript noobie so if I seems a bit "slow" I hope to get into the groove with all your valuable help. Anyway, I'm curious. I followed the swapDepth tutorial with the draggable movie clips. Still I was wondering how to next another button within the movie clip. It seems that the only onRelease code only work on the draggable object and not the button I nested inside my movie

Basically I have an instance of a poloroid photo and if you drag them around, the photo fades in, and a little post-it note appears on the photo and give you the title. Then when you clock on another photo, the first photo fades back to it original state,

I would like to add a button into one the the clips with a link to my resume but I can't seem to find the VooDoo to Do Do it. Can one of you Flash GODS possibly help?

I'll trade you a really good fried chicken recipe for the answer to my probelm
THANKS!

Onclick Open A Draggable Window With Picture And With Xclose Button?
Hello, i have a small thumbnail, and i would like to try to make it when the user clicks on the thumbnail, it opens a larger window and then loads dynamically the photo from the URL stored in a variable.

so if my variable = /pics/thumb.jpg

user clicks on the thumb, window opens and loads the image according to the variable value, and then the user can click close(X) to get rid of the screen

to make it draggable would also be a nice feature

Does someone have sample code / tutorial for this? i couldnt find a simple/clean one. only over-done versions of it...

LoadMovie() Only Works Sometimes, Please Take A Look.
(Flash MX)

I am loading jpgs dynamically into my flash slide show. I made a php function to count the number of jpgs in the directory. The slide show loops through the images using loadMovie(). There is a counter variable which acts as a delay(letting the image pause on the screen) that increments by going back and forth on the timeline. Once the counter reaches the set maximum allowed value, the timeline goes back to frame 1 which calls the loadMovie() function and loads the next jpg. What's the problem you ask?? Well, I believe it is only working properly when the visitor's computer is working at an optimum level. The slideshow sometimes does not load or pics take a long time to load. Also, majority of the time, my problems occur when using Netscape 7.2.

Please check the movie and take a look at my code.

//declare vars

LoadMovie: Works With Swf Not With Png
Hey All,

I have the file I'm working on that loads external swf files. The variables are set with xml and it works fine when loading swf file but would be real great if it could load png files instead. png files simply because I need the transparent bg. The following script works for swf's not png's any help would be fantastic!!!!!!

Oh, yeah and when I set up a more simplistic test file I am able to load png's without a problem. Seems to be in the variable reference.

Cheers
-jub-

a = a-1;
if (a < 0) {
a = totalBands
} else {
a = a;
}
IM1 = bandThemes[a].firstChild.attributes.image1;
IM2 = bandThemes[a].firstChild.attributes.image2;
SEC = bandThemes[a].firstChild.attributes.seconds;
URLs = bandThemes[a].firstChild.attributes.urls;

//This works when I target an .swf but not an .png HELP!!!!!!!!!!
loadMovie ([IM1], _root.spotOne);
loadMovie ([IM2], _root.spotTwo);

How Loadmovie Works?
Can someone explain to me how loadmovie actully works?

I am familiar how html pages call eachother, but flash doesn't require a target path for the loadmovie command. How then does flash know where to look for the external file? Does it just assume its in the same root folder as the file its loading into?

Forgive me if I've reposted. If anyone knows of a similar post that would answer my question then just post the link. I've searched the fourm and didn't find anything.
