Loaded .swf In Wrong Place

Maybe The Wrong Place...?
Maybe an off topic question, but I'll try anyway. Hopefully someone have some time to explain what's really going on here. I'm trying to figure out how this menu works but can't seem to quite understand it. Maybe just a short guide and I will be forever grateful!

[F8] Why Is The Graphic In The Wrong Place?
I'm sorry. This is a very stupid question, but I've never experienced this. I placed a graphic symbol on the stage at 0,0. When I test it, it shows at a different coordinance. I can't figure out why. I've attached the fla, if someone can tell me what is happening, I'd appreciate it.

Changing the Registration/Transformation point makes no difference (what the $%#&^ is that for?).

I'm very frustrated. Please relive my pain.

External Swf In Wrong Place
I have finally figured out how to call an external swf file (shouldn't have been as hard as I made it) Nonetheless, when I preview is, besides getting a bunch of errors about sandboxes, the external swf file is not anywhere close to where I placed the movie clip loader?

External .swf Loads In Wrong Place?
I'm making a site that loads external .swf files into an empty movie clip. this is the action attached to each of the buttons...

on (release) {
loadMovie("folder/name.swf", _root.container_mc);
}

the files are loaded fine. the issue is that while the empty movie clip (container) is positioned where i want the .swf's to load on the stage, they actually load much farther down and off to the right. why is this happening and how can i fix it??

thanks!

Preloader Jumps To Wrong Place...
Hello all... I hope you can help!

I found a preloader tutorial (Advanced bytes-loaded Preloader) here at FK and copied it as I needed... The preloader seems to work fine & dandy... Its the place it jumps to, after 100% loaded, that's odd... It is set to simply go to the next scene. It does go to the next scene, but it seems to jump to Frame 45, instead of starting at Frame 1. Is anyone willing to look at my .fla (I'd rather send it to someone, instead of posting it)? Or maybe I've mentioned something and you already know what my problem is?

All help is greatly appreciated!

Help - My Movie's In The Wrong Place On The Stage
I've just spent 8 hrs on my first flash website and the whole thing seems to have suddenly moved to the right of the stage and when I test the scene, I can only see the left hand side of it...

I'm sure it's a really stupid thing I've done, but it's driving me mad as I can't find anything about it on the help anywhere - can anyone tell me if I can reposition it?

Many thanks,

Sound Starts In The Wrong Place?
I'm creating an animation and i have two scenes. In my second scene, 5 frames in I have added a sound, and subsequent to that i have more sounds on several layers as the animation progresses. When i play this is flash it all seems alright, but when i exprt it as a .swf the sound in my second scene starts to play about 3 seconds in from the end of the first scene, and drags all subsequent sounds with it. I don't have a clue what has happened?

Anybody able to help me?

Loading Movies In The Wrong Place
This is a related question to the one I just posted about getting rid of the "click here" to get rid of the dotted lines issue. I have a portfolio site so I need a long scrolling swf for the pictures. But for the rest of the site - bio page, contact page etc. I need a short swf. I am loading movies into level 1 for the big versions of the thumbnails and I could load the other swfs, for contact, bios etc. into level 0 and thus get rid of my dotted line problem. But, since the portfolio page is so long, what happens is that the swf I load to replace it on level 0 gets centered way down the page and the viewer doesn't even know it is there it is so far down. Is there any way to force the new swf to be at the top when it loads? Thanks.

Movieclip Appearing In Wrong Place
I am currently making a simple flash game in flash 8. Its a basic game where the player controls a character walking around and can move to a different areas. Each area is a different frame.

Audio Clip Plays In Wrong Place
On my main timeline I have a MC called logo

within this MC, I have another MC called lightning placed on frame 99. At the end of the MC lightning, I have this code:

_parent.play("portfolio2"); stop();

which sends the viewer to a frame labled "portfolio2" (frame 100)

On frames 100 - 109, I have another MC with several buttons. The problem is that a few of these buttons, not all of them, when pressed, trigger the audio clip from the MC lightning that sits solely on frame 99. The buttons do not exist on frame 99 and the MC does not exist on any frame higher than 99.

How can I keep this audio from triggering when the buttons are pressed?

Thanks

Link Inside Movieclip Goes Wrong Place
Hi,

I'm using Flash MX and I've got an issue with my menu. The thing is, when you put the mouse over the menu, it rolls out (see code on screenshot #1)... but when I make more than one button in that movieclip, it all goes to the same place. So if I got one button linked to "one", and a different button linked to "two", they both end up going to "one"... see my case?


I would be most grateful for any help. Please look at the screenshots.

Cheers!

Multiple Txt Files, Scrollbar In Wrong Place.
I'm loading a new text file into my dynamic text field everytime the user clicks one of three buttons. The problem occurs when you scroll down. If you then click another button to load the new text the damn scrollbar stays where it is, leaving the new text half way down instead of the scrollbar starting at the top.

Anything I can do to make the scrollbar start from the top everytime a new txt file loads?

Calling Lingo In Flash And Jumping To Wrong Place
Hello all,

I'm working on a Director project that has flash buttons to navigate through a part of it. I'm using this script, in my Flash MX movie, for example:

on (release) {
getURL('Lingo:go to frame "Photo Gallery"');
}

This is all well and good but it seems to behave randomly. In some cases, it links correctly but in other cases, it links to a spot 20 frames ahead of the marker. I went back in and used the frame number istead of the marker name:

on (release) {
getURL('Lingo:go to frame 1940');
}

and it still advanced too far. It's so bizarre.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to combat this?

thanks,

How Can I Pause A Nested Movie Or Is The Code In The Wrong Place?
I have a nested movie that is called by the following function.

function test(){
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",25);
    loadMovie("images/5_28.swf", "container");
    container._x=15;
    container._y = 95;
}
test();

On the base movie I have three control buttons for play, pause, and rewind.

The play and the rewind work like a gem on the nested movie, but the pause button does not work when selected and the nested movie just keeps playing. The following is the code that is used.

on (release) {
stop();
}
on (release) {
    this._parent.stop();
    this._parent.container.stop();
}

Does any one have a suggestion on how to pause the nested movie ???

Flash Stops In The Wrong Place When Passing Parameters
Hi,

I have a Flash movie that has about 8 frames. The movie is a menu bar, where each frame shows a different menu item highlighted. Each frame has a name (label).

The .swf file is passed a paremeter in the query string called 'current_menu'. The first frame in the movie has a script which moves to the frame that has a label that matches the value of current_menu.

So if I pass 'company' in current_menu, the script will gotoAndStop('company').

But in some browsers (e.g. Firefox & ID PC), the movie stops in the first frame, even though the parameter has been passed.

It seems to work fine on the second attempt for each of the menu items. So the first time I visit the company page, the menu item is not selected, but the next time I go there (or refresh), it IS selected.

Any ideas? Is it some sort of cache problem? Would appreciate any help on this as it looks like some sort of bug?

Using Flash MX 2004.

Keep Current Swf Visible, Until A New Swf Has Loaded Into It's Place?
I've got a holder movie clip where I can load different swf's into, by clicking buttons. I'm using the MovieClipLoader.


Because I'm going to use a loader layer (showing percent completed of download) with alpha to it, I don't want the current swf to dissappear until a new swf has completed loading. If I could get this working the current swf would show through the alpha layer untill a new swf is loaded.

How can I achieve this?

This is a part of the code I'm using now:


Code:
button1.onRelease = function() {
loader._visible = true;
mcl.loadClip("swf1.swf",holder);
}

button2.onRelease = function() {
loader._visible = true;
mcl.loadClip("swf2.swf",holder);
}
When I use the code above, the current swf dissappears imediately when a button is clicked and a new swf begins to load.

I could use more than one holder, but then how would I know which one I'm currently using? ... and there must be a better way to do it.

Thank you.

How To Place Images Inside Dynamically Loaded Text
I'm wondering if anyone could advise me on how to place images inside dynamically loaded text.

I have a textfield loading text from an external file - I'd like to have images wrapped in the text, like any html page - any ideas?

I tried using html <image> tags to mark up a layout, but flash doesn't really support html, not really, they say they do, but really they only support <a> and a few other tags - woot!

Thanks!

[F8] Loaded Swf Wrong Size
Dear All

I want to load a swf into a loader componant. I want it to be half size on the stage. I have been having problems getting it the right size.

I drag the loader element onto the stage, and set its size to 200x142 (which is half size). I then set the path and the resize in the parameters.

WHen I test it comes out twice as big - ie back to normal. If I set the size to 400 x 284 it comes out twice as big again ie around 800px.

ISo in the end I went with 100X 71 option and published inside a html page the first time it loads its tiny tiny and then if you press F5 it reloads but the correct size (ie 200X142 - half size - which is what I want...)

Help!!! What's going on.

the offending beast can be viewed at http://www.ee-web.co.uk/indexLoader.html. Press on the link "joseph storehouse". its the tiny slide show that appears half way down on the left.

would really appreciate any help

Thanks

Paste In Place Between Movie Clips Is Not In Place Re The Stage
Hi,

I realize that pasting in place between movie clips is referening the registration point in each separate movie clip and that is why they don't align to the stage properly. So is there any way to turn this off?

Can I make my shapes align to the document stage size no matter what movie clip I'm in? Also, can the paste in place be made to paste in place always relative to the stage?

Thanks,
Stan

Button Controlling Frames In A Loaded .swf Wrong...
hey everyone, in my newest project i have a main template that has navigation buttons, and in the main part of the movie it loads an external .swf into an empty movie clip. the buttons in the main movie are designed to tell the loaded swf to go to the correct frame label to display the right information. this works (my actionscript is something like on(release){ _root.container.gotoandStop("home"); } and it works basically. however if the movie is at the frame that you want to go to, when you click that button, it skips to the next frame label. it should, however, do nothing because you are already at that frame label. but for some reason, if you click the button of the page you are already at, it will send you to the next label. then at the next label if you hit that button again it will send you to the previous one. whats goin on here???

[AS] MX: Wrong Refs In Loaded Swf That Loads Text?
Last edited by feynman : 2005-08-19 at 05:28.
























Hi,

I'm loading various external swfs into an empty mc depending on a menu selection. All these external swfs load 1 .txt-file and 18 .jpg-images dynamically. These external swfs work very well on- and offline (if tested on their own), once they're loaded into the empty mc of the main swf, the text doesn't show up anymore - but the images do. Here's how each external swf loads the .txt-files into the appropriate mc "tc":


ActionScript Code:
var loadText = new LoadVars();
//
loadText.onLoad = function(loaded) {
    if (loaded)
    {
        loadedText = this.loadMe;
        defineTextFieldFormat(tc, "text_txt", true, false, null, true, true, false, null, "dynamic", true);
        tc.text_txt.text = loadedText;
        //
        textStyle = new TextFormat();
        defineTextFormatObject(null, 0xFFFFFF, "copy_condensed_plain", 1, 5, 5, 8);
        tc.text_txt.setTextFormat(textStyle);
    }
    else
    {
        tc.text_txt.text = "****e, file didn't load!";
    }
    // var dummy = tc._height;// <- affects the proportion of the scrollbar
    sbHeight = Math.floor((tfHeight / tc._height) * 100);
    //
    if (tc._height > tfHeight)
    {
        createScrollBar(sbWidth, sbHeight, sbDistance, sbLineColor, sbFillColor);// <- creates a scrollbar if necessary
    }
    delete ("loadText");
};
//
loadText.load("../text/testtext.txt");



ActionScript Code:
tf = this.createEmptyMovieClip("textFrame_mc", this.getNewDepth());
tf.drawRectangle(0, 0, tfWidth, tfHeight, tfBackground, 100);
//
tf._x = tfxPos;
tf._y = tfyPos;
//
tc = tf.createEmptyMovieClip("textContainer_mc", this.getNewDepth());
tc.createTextField("text_txt", this.getNewDepth(), tc._x, tc._y, tfWidth, tfHeight);
//
tm = tf.createEmptyMovieClip("textMask_mc", this.getNewDepth());
tm.drawRectangle(tc._x, tc._y, tfWidth, tfHeight, null, null);
//
tc.setMask(tm);


What am I doing wrong? Wrong use of "this"? Can't be, because the mc "tf" shows up?! Any ideas someone out there?

PS: Even if I hardcode the tc.text_txt.text = "rubbish"; it does not get displayed in the loaded state...

Thanks for a reply!

Place, Rotate And Check If The Place Is Free
hi,

I want develope a mini game like:

most important thing is in this game to place the elements in a free space so I have to check if the place is free or full. another problem is if I found a free place for the card I have the possibilty to rotate the card but only if the places on left,right,top or bottom are free. I believe this is the most diffulcult thing in my application.

I hope I could explain it with my terrible english.


I am looking for some tuts or inspirations. could somebody tell me
where I can find somthing similar?

Movie Starts Before It Is Fully Loaded, Look At My Script , Tell Me Whats Wrong.
My preloader doesent work, My movie is like 2.5 MB large, and starts before the movie is 100% loaded which causes misguiding in the buttons in the main page, I have many frames in the preloader and in each frame I have this script:

ifFrameLoaded ("intro", 175) {
gotoAndPlay("preloader", 2);
}

For each scene, what is wrong with my script??

thanks Zain..

How To Zoom In And Change From Place To Place
Hello, im fairly new to flash MX 2004 and i am currently working on animations.

Feel free to explain it to me in Actionscript or any other way. Here is my question:

For example. A man is walking in a town. This man then reaches the end of the stage (in your fla. work place), what is a way to show the new backround? make a new keyframe right after with a new background? or is there an easier way.
Another thing, how can i have like im a camera type view, and move around showing diffrent things in the backround (while moving left lets say)

Last thing.. zooming in, how can i do it with a picture backround from the internet?

thanks
