Flash :: Flash Swf Inside Dll ? How To Do It ?

Tweening External Dynamic Text Inside A MC Inside Main Timeline
I've seen a hundred and a half posts on similar subjects, but goshdarnit, I just can't make this work. Let me explain the problem, and I've included a link to a Zip file with my .fla file and the away.txt file I'm calling the variables from.

Basically, I want to create an interactive menu thing, that starts with a row of each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. When one clicks on a letter, the letter is tweened to a larger faded state, and so is the rest of the alphabet, and I want the names of the schools starting with that letter to then fade in. I have a movie clip inside the last frame of the main tween, which should then tween (fade in over 12 frames) the graphic symbol containing my dynamic text box, which is supposed to be linked to the text variables in the external file. The text variable is created on the first frame of the main timeline using Actionscript on the static header layer, and so I should be able to load it inside my movie clip (I think). Everything looks fine to me, but then I've only been using Flash for 2 weeks.

To sum up, I need to tween the graphic symbol. The graphic symbol contains the dynamic text which references the external text file. The graphic symbol is inside a movie clip, inside one frame of my main timeline. The text isn't showing up, only the empty text box is.

Button Inside Movie Clip Inside Scrollpane Doesn't Work In Xml
This is sorta odd but I'm hoping somewhat easy to fix. This is in AS2 and is the last problem I have in a very small project of mine.

I have button called button01 inside a movieclip called movieclip01 which is the contentPath for a scrollpane called scrollpane01. I'd like the button to work, and depending on the code it will work in the normal .swf but won't when I embed my movie into xml.

If I put the code inside movieclip01

button01.onRelease=function(){
_root.gotoAndPlay("Frame Name");
}

It will work when I test it but not in the XML. So what I want to do is go to the main timeline where the scrollpane is and write the code there. That is where I'm stuck.

I've tried scrollpane01.movieclip01.button01 and tried movieclip01.button01 and also tried scrollpane01.button01. Just for giggles I also tried scrollpane01.movieclip01 but none of that works

Last night I had a similar problem with buttons inside a movieclip that was on the root stage. They worked in the swf but not when I embedded the file - so I found this which worked (typed in the root stage)

movieclip01.button01.onRelease=function(){

Can't Seem To Get The Paths Correct When It's Occuring Inside A Movie Clip Inside
main movie on _level0, navigation loads into _level1, icon is dragged and dropped loading another samples.swf into _level2.

drag and drop works fine running outside of main movie but not inside main movie. i'm assuming i've messed up paths.

i tried to include the code (twice now) but it keeps cutting off my message.

it's an action on a button inside a movie clip inside a movie loaded into _level1. it needs to reference a movie clip on the main timeline of the _level1 movie. what would the path be?

Rotating Movieclip Inside A Button, Inside A Scrolling Menu Bar
Hi all,

I'm pretty new to actionscript, and I'm kinda moving along; up until now.

I've used the the infinite scrolling menu tute at kirupa.com, created my own button graphics, and have a nice scrolling menu. On the buttons, I'm adding an image (which seems to need to be a movie clip to work), so when you rollover the button, the image will spin.

The code for the spinning works. I've tested it on the root frame of a new movie, and in the button of the infinite scrolling menu movie. I've added the code to spin the image on the "over" frame of the button timeline. With the button scene open, I run "test scene", stop it, and move between the frames. When I advance to the rolloever frame, the image spins like a top, but when I test it from the root of the movie, the image does not spin. I've also added a color change "that works" from the root when you rollover the button, but the not the spinning image.

I've added the image by editing the button from the library. I select the image, and add the code inside an onClipEvent(enterFrame) action.

I've also tried adding the code to the keyframe of the root scene in layer 1, and tried calling the image by the full path (_root.one_button.buttons.button1.spin1._rotation= blah) thinking it needs to know exacty where the image(movie clip) is at in the heirarchy to no avail. I've even went back and gave everything an instance name up unto the button I'm trying all this on.

Any help would be appreciated, since I'm about ready to shed tears over this.

Thanks!

OnRollOver() Inside MoveClip Inside MovieClip Doesnt Work
could someone help with this. i dont know why the onRollOver function doesnt work for my submenu button. trace("over main btn") for mainmenu button works fine but trace("over submenu btn"); doesnt work :/

ActionScript Code:
CreateMainMenu = function (x, y, depth, node_xml) {
var cNode;
var cItem;
var cMenu = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mainMenu", 0);
for (var i = 0; i<node_xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
cNode = node_xml.childNodes[i];
cItem = cMenu.attachMovie("mainMenuBtn", "mc"+i, i);
cItem._x = menu_x+i*(cItem._width+5);
cItem._y = menu_y;
cItem.menuname = cNode.attributes.name;
cItem.node_xml = cNode;
if (cNode.nodeName != "menu") {
cItem.arrow._visible = false;
}
cItem.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
h = 0;
clearInterval(newInt);
trace("over main btn");
subMen = this.createEmptyMovieClip("subMenu",200);
newInt = setInterval(openSubMenu, 50, this._x,this._y,subMen,this.node_xml);
}
cItem.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this.subMenu.removeMovieClip();
};
}
};

openSubMenu = function (x,y,clip,node) {
if(h<node.childNodes.length) {
subM = clip.attachMovie("subMenuBtn","subBtn"+h,300+h);
subM.menuname = node.childNodes[h];
subM._visible = true;
subM._y = subM._height*(h+1);
subM.onRollOver = function() {
trace("over submenu btn"); //<------------- it doesnt work :(
}
h++;
} else { clearInterval(newInt); }
};

var menu_x = alertArea._x;
var menu_y = alertArea._y;
menu_xml = new XML();
menu_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
menu_xml.onLoad = function(succeed) {
if (succeed) {
alertArea._visible = false;
CreateMainMenu(menu_x, menu_y, 0, this.firstChild);
} else {
alertArea.alert = "error: XML not successfully loaded";
}
};
menu_xml.load("menu.xml");

sample xml file for this menu:

ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu name="XML Menu">
<menu name="firm">
<item name="about" link="http://#"/>
<item name="portfolio" link="http://#"/>
<item name="contact" link="http://#"/>
</menu>
</menu>

does anybody know what is the problem ?

Rotating Movieclip Inside A Button, Inside A Scrolling Menu Bar
Hi all,

This question is going ignored in some other boards, so I thought I'd try here....

Tween Inside A Button Inside A Movie Clip
Say I have 3 squares, from left to right, blue, red, yellow. The 3 squares together are a MC that move from off the stage on right, across the stage to line up on the left. Now say I want to make the left blue square a button so that when you roll over it, it has a orange frame and then when you press down on it it dims, and a larger version of it shows up above it. how would I do this? What i've done so far is made a button inside the MC, then on the down state of the button made a graphic button for the blue square, but it doesn't stay dimmed, and I don't even know how to make the larger blue square appear.

Is this too confusing?
please help.
thanks

Load A Movie Inside Blank Clip From Inside Itself?
Hi,
I am working on a site and I have a blank movie clip called contents. I have a button that when clicked, loads a swf (2.swf)inside of it. then I have a button in 2.swf, when clicked, I want it to load a swf in contents (the same movie clip that it was loaded into). I have tried using _root. and _parent. infront of the loadmovie code, but those aren't working. What code would I use to do this?
Thanks, Matt

SetInterval Inside A Loop Inside A Function - Am I Crazy?
I've got a menu loading from XML data - however I'd like the mc's to appear sequentially, maybe 1/10th second apart. I know setInterval should do this, but I'm still new to flash and despite trawling Google for 24 hrs solid, nothing seems to show me the right way.

Here's the script:

Code:
function CreatePortMenu(port_xml)
{
var portClients = port_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
var xPos = 0;
var yPos = 0;
var xSpacing:Number = 90;
var ySpacing:Number = 35;
var i = 0;

for ( i = 0; i < portClients.length; i++ )
{
switch (i) //splits the menu items into columns of 4 (max 12 items)
{
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
yPos = ySpacing * i;
break;
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
case 7:
xPos = xSpacing * 2;
yPos = ySpacing * (i - 4);
break;
case 8:
case 9:
case 10:
case 11:
xPos = xSpacing * 3;
yPos = ySpacing * (i - 8);
}

var currentClient = portClients[i];

var portHold = portHolder_mc.attachMovie( "jobOption", "pb"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});

portHold.jobTitle.jobText.text = currentClient.attributes.title;

}

}
So I *think* I should be inserting two lines, one creating a setInterval, and one clearing it, but where? Some guides say inside the function, some say outside, some say only the clearInterval should be inside, some have the function inside the loop... I also *think* I've tried every possible combination, but no soap. Please help!?

Tabbing Inside A Form, Inside ScrollPane Component?
I have several forms but one of them needed to be scrolled because it's too long. I've been using the fieldname.tabIndex on all my forms but when I try to tab this form that contains the tabIndex it pops outside the ScrollPane component every time. I setup the form like the rest then gave it an instance name of "form," I set the linkage on the properties to "form." Next I placed a ScrollPane on the main timeline and assigned it to "form." When I try running the movie and tabbing between the fields in the form it pops out of the component to another instance.

What do I do?

I've given the url address to the movie:

See the movie here, select "MENU" then "Nominate" to view the problem

Get Variables Inside Flash 9 Movie With Action Script 3 Using Flash Selenium And Sele
Dear All,

I use Selenium RC and I want to do automated flash testing. I am using Flash Selenium.

Web Application has Flash content (SWF file) and is Version 9.0 and uses Action Script 3.0.

I cant use the functions like flashApp.Getvariable(varName) or flashapp.TotalFrames() as mentioned http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/

I see documentation and functions listed at ( http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/p...h/scriptingwit hflash_03.html functions for Flash 5 ), i cant use them . I get exception all the time.

I am trying to access the varibales in the flash movie which is loaded using GetVariable but Selenium throws an exception but no information message.

I want to ask can I use functions listed on above adobe site with Flash 9 movie with Action Script 3.0 ? If not is there any way to get variables inside Flash movie using Flash External Interface and Selenium RC ?

Best Regards !

Button Inside Swf Needs To Target Label Inside Different Swf
I have two different swf files (valet.swf and transit.swf) loaded into 2 different container MCs on a main timeline. One is in the container MC contentsValet the other is in contentTransit. I have a button inside the transit.swf that when pressed needs to go to the label "valet" inside the valet.swf file and am not having any luck with getting it to work.

Here is the code I tried to use on the button

on (release) {
_root.contentsValet.gotoAndPlay("valet");
}

Addressing A Timeline Label Inside A Mc Inside A Mc
? how would you write:

if(c=1){
gotoAndPlay.home.trans "contact";
}

... .home is a mc that contains .trans mc and "contact" is a label in the .trans mc timeline.

I get the
contactbtn.on(press) {
gotoAndPlay ("next"); // address label within the current mc
}
but am unclear how to do this correctly when the timeline label is within a movie clip inside another movie clip.

thanks for the clarification

Make A Flash Banner Clickable Externally (not Inside The Flash)
Hi,

I have flash banners (just graphic with no url hard-coded).

I wanted to make it work with openX ads system but it seems to be able to replace a URL only if there's already some URL hard-coded in there (and not if it's only graphic)

At the moment i can't edit the flash (my flasher is away for 2 weeks and i have only the .swf) and i must make it work somehow meanwhile...

How can i make it work (maybe html code banner with a param something that make the whole banner clickable with a URL - is it possible) ?

Or some JS or other HTML code that make it possible to set a URL i want the banner will link to without editing the flash itself.

Thanks

Flash Player Version Detection From Inside Flash.
Anyone have a good AS example to force people to update their Flash Player? The flash doesn't play in version previous to 8 anyways.

It's astounds me that, although I wrote my HTML right and the browsers all ask for updates (I checked them ALL) that the user doesn't always see and/or understand the update confirmation box...

I thought of giving people a link to the flash player update page at Macromedia if the getVersion() function returns something lower than "8,0,22,0".

Is that a good idea or does anyone here have a better idea?

Html Inside Flash
Hello-
I was creating a flash site that needs to display entire html pages inside the flash object. Since it appeared to me that this cannot be done inside of flash (please correct me if I am wrong), I broke the flash object into parts and used frames to place it around the one frame representing the html. While this is far from optimal, it works with the exception that I cannot uses any effects, such as expanding menus, over the html page space since it is in a different frame and any effects extending from the flash objects are lost between frames. Is there a way around either of these problems? Am I apporaching it in an entirely inappropriate manner? I would greatly appreciate any and all help you might be able to give me. Thanks in advance!

Using JavaScript Inside Flash
I am trying to open a new browser window from within Flash however I am having problems doing this. At first I tried to put the javascript window.open() command right inside Flash, this seems to work but the parent window (the one with Flash) goes blank and displays [object] as the only text on the whole page. The other time I tried to call a function from within Flash to the host movie's JavaScript function that I had created myself but this seems to have no effect, the code I have used is:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascriptop();");
}

the window.open() command looks like this:

on (release) {
getURL (javascript:window.open("pic_1.htm", "", "width=500, height=450,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1, menubar=0, scrollbars=1"));
}

Thanx for any help you can provide me.

HTML Inside Flash
Hello,

Is it possible to display an html page within your flash movie?

e.g. to make a frame (like "_self")

And then to set your menu button to display it's results in the _self frame.

Thanks in advance,

Javascript Pop-up Inside Flash
Hello,
I am desperately trying to make a pop up window from a swf file in my website. my url is: http://www.tunnelrats.net/tr.htm on the BIOS page I want when each item is clicked to have a smaller (CENTERED) pop-up window to come up with the content.

I have a script that I use inside flash that dosen't require javascript, but I think for some reason it only works once...weird.
Anyway what javascript would I need to create this and make a link inside my swf file?

thanks.
