Flash :: Html From Xml Will Not Load Into A Movieclip, Please Help

"On Press" - Load Movieclip And Html Page.
Hello fellas.

I got a "huge" problem.. or should I call it "lack of knowledge"...

The thing is, I'm building a homepage in dreamweaver. But the menu itself is made in Flash.

The problem is:

When I press my button I want it to load the animation on the button first (the button is a movieclip) then go to the link (homepage).

How do I do that?

I'm kinda basic, so I'd be greatful for basic guiding.

Thanks in advance.

How To Load Image Into Movieclip Inside Movieclip That Is Dynamically Created?
Hello Kirupa Cats!

I am building a menu from an XML file, and I'm cool with cyclying thru the xml data to create menu items.

For every menu item in my XML file, I'm using attachMovie to insert a movie clip called menuitem from my library into a movieclip called menuholder. This works no problem, my menuholder movieclip is poplulated with as many menuitem movieclips from the library as designated by the xml data.

However, inside the library movieclip called menuitem, I have another movieclip on its stage, called mc_menuImage. I want to load an image into that movieclip, and I'm taking the URL for the image from the XML data.

My problem is I can't seem to figure out how to fully identify the movieclip mc_menuImage to load the image. It may have something to do with the fact that the library movieclip is being loaded dynamically, but the movieclip inside the library movieclip exisits pysically on the stage. I don't know...here's the code I'm working with:

THE CODE:

var xmlMenu:String = "menu.xml";
menuholder = createEmptyMovieClip("menuholder", -1);

var xmlMenuData:XML = new XML();
xmlMenuData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlMenuData.load( xmlMenu );
xmlMenuData.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var mImage:Array = new Array();
var mRootNode = this.firstChild.childNodes;
totalMenuItems = mRootNode.length;

// fill array
for (var i = 0; i<totalMenuItems; i++) {
mImage.push(mRootNode[i].attributes.menuImage);
}
}

//make the menu
for (var i = 0; i<totalMenuItems; i++) {
var menuitem = menuholder.attachMovie("menuitem", "menu"+i, i);
menuitem.id = i;

/* now here I thought I could just do this: */
menuitem.mc_menuImage.loadMovie(mImage[i]);
/* but that doesn't work... */

};

When I trace menuitem I get this: _level0.menuholder.menu0, _level0.menuholder.menu1, etc, so I figured the syntax menuitem.mc_menuImage would identify the movieclip inside menuitem, but to no avail. Maybe it has something to do with levels, I'm not sure...

So I don't know, any suggestions? Thanks so much!!!

Getting Flash To Load HTML Pages Into Iframes In A Seperate HTML Page
Hi everybody

Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm currently running an animation within a webpage, and my client would like to be able to have some captions in HTML on the page that go with specific parts of the animation.

He wants the captions done in seperate HTML pages so that they can be changed into different languages at a later date.

I am loading these captions (HTML pages) into <iframes> on the page.

So far so good..... however...

I need to be able to get flash to load the HTML pages into the <iframes>, in certain points within the animation.

So... Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm guessing getURL is used somewhere, but I don't know the exact code.

Hope you can help!

Load Movieclip From Library Into A Movieclip On The Stage?
Alright I am losing my mind trying to figure out something so simple, I can load external swfs no problem, but How do you access a movieclip from the library?

I have a main swf, and a movieclip in the library named feb93_mov. Basically I want to on MOUSE_DOWN load the library item "feb93_mov" into swfloader_mc on the stage. But I cant write an instance name for "feb93_mov" cause it's not supported, so how do I access it then?

Here is my code what is wrong with it?:

ActionScript Code:
feb93_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, feb93down);
function feb93down(event:MouseEvent):void
{
loadMe4();
}

var loadMe4 = function():void
{
var feb93_mov:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
swfloader_mc.addChild(feb93_mov);
}

Load A Movieclip Into A Other Movieclip From A Loaded Swf File
do somebody know how I can do if I have a flashmovie that is the skin and into that movie I load two .swf files (one with the menu and one with the start text). Have 2 empty movieclips one called "meny" and the other "main". but the problem is that when I load the meny externally the actions that i have on the buttons doesn't work as if I would have the menu in the skinmovie.

I have these action to the info button:

on (release) {
loadMovie("info.swf", main);
}

and these action work if i have the menu in the skinmovie but no when i load it from a .swf these actions don't function.

Anyone that know how I could rewrite thes action that it would work?
Thanks

HTML Code In Flash To Load An HTML Page In A Frame
Hello.

I have an existing website built in html, with three frames. One on the top for the banner, one on the left for navigation, and a larger window to the right of the navigation for the main content. I want to replace the content in my navgation frame with a flash built navgation menu, and when my menu items are selected, it will load a new page in the content frame.

I currently have this working fine in html. I can make my buttons link to a URL no problem in flash, but how do I tell it to load the content into the other frame? I haven't started this process yet, and figured I'd ask first to get any ideas.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me out in creating these flash ads that appear out of nowhere. I see them mostly on rediffmail, yahoo and about.com.

Load MovieClip Into Empty MovieClip
Is it possible to load a series of MCs in to an empty MC on the stage? I have a bunch of MCs in my library and I want them to load and unload with buttons the same way you would with external swfs. I don't want to use swfs because I know that I'm going to go back in an change the absolute address for each, later. Plus there all so small, I'd hate to have to make seperate .swf's for all of them.

Thanks In Advance,

Load Movieclip Inside Movieclip
I'm familiar with the loadmovie script and loading an external swf file into an empty movieclip, but is it possible to load a movieclip inside an empty movieclip, all within the same swf? I don't want to use external files because I really don't have much content and it would be easier to just make everything in one swf file.

Load Only A Section Of Html Into Html

this is the tricky part.

a workaround, a much more better way of accomplishing this?

Call An Swf File To Load Into Html Document From Seperate Swf File In HTML.
I am trying to get advise on the best way to do this or how to do this. I have a layout that the customer is happy with, in an HTML document, but the SWF files will be seperated because of the layout. If you go to this link, you will see what I mean. It all takes place inside of the black bar...

http://www.hairdrezzersonfire.com

I want the icon movie on the left to play first and after it is done, I want to be able to call the main SWF file to play in the center of the black area. After that's done, I want that main SWF file to call the text logo movie to play that comes in on the right side of the screen.

I assume that I will use a placeholder of some sort in an HTML cell and it will be replaced by the swf file, but I don't know how to call it with actionscript. Any ideas?

Load Movieclip Into A Movieclip
I have preloaded all my images into my movie, but I am having some trouble using them. They all got loaded into movieclips named mc1, mc2, etc.

And I can get the images to show up just by using something simple on the root level like mc1._y=200. And then I can see it fine. However I'm trying to load mc1 into another movieclip (myloader). Basically my buttons are switching which movieclip(mc1 , mc2) shows up in the movieclip named myloader.

I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. Should I use attachmovie or something like that? Or I can get it to load in using the moviecliploader, but then I am basically just loading the image into flash again. I know it would work since the images would be cached, but that seems like unnecessary work since the images are already loaded into movieclips at the beginning.

I hope that made sense.

What do you think the best option would be?

Why Will A MovieClip Not Load?
I cannot figure out why my movie clip will not load? All the files worked on my local drive, but when I uploaded the files and tested it... the movie clip does not start.
Here's the code I have placed in a button to call the movie:

on (release){
gotoAndPlay("Load Home Menu");
function PlayTime(){
loadMovieNum("Message.swf", 2);
clearInterval(ID);
}
ID=setInterval(PlayTime, 5000);
}

I also tried a simple loadMovieNum(), and no go.. the file Message.swf is not even cached on my computer from the web.. anyone come across something like this?

Note: chmod settings are correct.

How To Load SWF Into MovieClip In AS3
I need to convert some project to AS3 and I hit to folllowing problem:

in AS2 I had had 2 movie clips (let say Local_mc and Import_mc). Import_mc I used for importing external swf with command:

Code:
loadMovie("file:///N_1b.swf", Import_mc);
after import both Local_mc and Import_mc had similar content with the same structure and I switched between the by asigning one of them to other mc pointer :

Actual_mc:MovieClip = Import_mc;
or Actual_mc = Local_mc;

Then I worked with them by pointing Actual_mc.DrawingBoard_mc.Shapes_mc...etc

In AS3 I am not able to import directly to some mc. I must make loader, load to it, but how to include content of loader to my structure - to import_mc movieclip?

Load MovieClip At X, Y
I'm sure you can do this but I have no idea how.

Say I have a Movie Clip that is identified as "MC1"

How can I (using actionscript on a pushbutton) make the Movie Clip appear and play at the coordinates 100,100?

I know I can just put MC1 on another frame and link the button to there but is it possible to make the movie clip appear at those coordinates so I dont have to link it to another frame?

Thanks
