Loading Movie In Lvl 1 Doesnt Work In Html
Hello!

I am attaching the source files. Its a menu I was working now. Everything is complete except for the background music ("sound.swf").

What I did was after the menu is loaded in frame 1 of the menu I created and empty movie clip in lvl 1 and tried to load sound.swf in that movie clip. It works fine when I do a control+enter in flash or export the movie clip and then double click menu.swf

But as soon as I put menu.swf in a html file the sound.swf doesnt load in the empty movie clip . Can someone please help me out on this?

You can download the source files from here:

Thanx.

My Movie Doesnt Work
I have two MC ("blue" , "red" amd "circ")

1st frame: blue is on the sage and there is a button to go to the next frame.

2nd frame: red is on the stage. An action tells it to change its position to blue's position. Also a PLAY action

--up to here everything is ok--

3rd frame: red is still on the stage and circ too. The following action is on the frame

Code:
tellTarget (_root.red) {
if (_root.red._x<_root.circ._x-5) {
_root.red._x += 3;
} else if (_root.red._x>_root.circ._x+5) {
_root.red._x -= 3;
}
if (_root.red._y>_root.circ._y+5) {
_root.red._y -= 3;
} else if (_root.red._y<_root.circ._y-5) {
_root.red._y += 3;
}
}


4th frame: red and circ are still on the stage, an action goes back to 3rd frame

NOTES
-----
when going back to frame 3, the telltarget action should be read again so that red's position keeps changing until it reaches circ position.
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME!

Preload, Same Code---but Doesnt Work On Other Movie
Hi all,

This attached file is one of the external movie that I will be using with my main movie. I?m having two problems:

1.) I can?t seem to get the preloading thing to work with this particular movie and other similar external movie (similar in size). I used the exact same code for my other movie (bigger in file size), and the preloading seems to work fine. However, once I implement the code into this movie, once I start testing the movie (using 28.8k simulation), the preload never shows, instead, it stays blank until the whole movie loaded then jump to next scene.

2.) The second problem is also related to preload, however this time the same code messed up my ?_root? movie. It seemed like once user trigger the external movie, the external one preloads the _root movie instead of itself. From what I read in this forum, I should change every ?_root? to ?_parent? , but it never seemed to work either.

I have been dealing with this for 4 consecutive days, and it?s becoming very frustrating, can anyone provide any suggestion or help?! Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Text Write Movie From FK Doesnt Work
Hi
I thought I might have found just what I need to be able to write a text file from a swf on my system in this movie from FK.
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...-323/index.php

Im using the latest flashplayer and flash8 on a winxp machine and this file does not write a text file as it says it will.
Is that because it used to work on older versions ?

Is there now an easy way to have an offline swf write to a text file?
I am reading hyperlinks from a text file okay but I want the user to be able to permanently change the hyperlink through a flash form that changes the text file.

Thanks in advance

Change Of Variables And Movie Doesnt Work
I need help to fugre out why anytime i change the variables used which are

-theText
-theMask

the code stops working am i missing a step with doing something to the objects why they dont work if i change the variables.


Code:
//code by gforceWeb

//set a variable
targY=0;
//set the x position of the dragger
dragger._x=theMask._width;
//set the drag action of the dragger
//drag is restricted to the height of the mask
dragger.onPress=function(){
startDrag(this,false,this._x,0,this._x,theMask._height-this._height);
}
//stop the drag
dragger.onRelease=dragger.onReleaseOutside=function(){
stopDrag();
}
//set the mask for the text
theText.setMask(theMask);
//the scrolling animation
theText.onEnterFrame=function(){
/*set a variable
this variable basically stores info regarding what fraction of the total text
is being displayed through the mask and ensures that dragging the dragger
from top to bottom will reveal all the text.
this allows you to change the amount of text and the scroller will update itself
*/
scrollAmount=(this._height-(theMask._height/1.3))/(theMask._height-dragger._height);
//set a new target y position
targY=-dragger._y*scrollAmount;
//set the y of the text to 1/5 of the distance between its current y and the target y

//change the 5 to a lower number for faster scrolling or a higher number for slower scrolling
this._y-=(this._y-targY)/5;
}

Select Movie From Php Doesnt Work In IE If I Load From Sub..
Hey, I got some problems with selecting movies from sub folders when using IE, if I write this code here the file will play:
Code:

<param name="FlashVars" value="file=move.flv" />

But if I write this code IE wont even get the file:
Code:

<param name="FlashVars" value="file=folder/movie.flv"/>


This is the whole php code used:
Code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="309" height="278" >
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
   <param name="movie" value="playervideo.swf" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <param name="FlashVars" value="file=folder/movie.flv"/>
   <embed src="playervideo.swf" FlashVars="file=folder/movie.flv" quality="high" width="309" height="278" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Could there be a good explanation why IE acts like this?

Unload Movie Clip Doesnt Work When External Swf
I have my main movie. I load about.swf into target load.
well in my about.swf I have a movie clip that is attached to the stage when a button is clicked. In that particular movie clip I have a close button that has the code
on (release) {
_root.attachMC.unloadMovie();
}

Well that close button works fine when the swf is by itself, however when loaded into the main movie it doesnt work. I would assume becuase its saying _root is the main movie now.

What is another way around unattaching movieclip?

Sound Doesnt Work In Loaded Movie Clip
Hello,
I have a movie clip that has a sound in it, used using the Sound class (attachSound) - it works just fine when I run it.
BUT when I try to load it into another movie clip, say I have a parent clip and i load this one into it, the sound doesnt work.
If i include the sound as part of the parents library, then it DOES work, but the parent file size is now much bigger.
Any ideas?

Loading French Characters Doesnt Work
Hi there, ive got a problem; im loading a text from a mysql-db with php. I use url encoding/decoding but still my flash shows a small "square" instead of "á" (for example) in the textfield (using arial). Embedding the font doesnt work either i think. Anyone know how to solve this?

Loading External Movieclip For Audio Player Doesnt Work?
I am having trouble getting the following to work.

I have a main movie with a loading scene, once it has loaded it begins to play, and I then have a loadmovie command on a keyframe a few frames in to load an audio player, this itself is a seperate movie clip with a preload script.

When previewing in flash mx this works fine, but when uploading and viewing in a browser the audio player clip loads in but doesnt begin playing the audio (preview in flash does) but if I refresh the whole page the music begins to play. I cant work it out

any ideas what I might be doing wrong or where to look?
thanks

HELP Progress Bar Doesnt Work How I Want It 2when Loading In Multiple External Files
ok i've spent all day trying to figure this out, and i'm sure to be fired soon if i dont get any work done, so any help would be more than welcome.

im loading 2 jpegs and a swf in externally, but i want my progress bar to only display them once everything has been loaded in. At the moment, they load in individually, which is not help to me.

I've tried setting the empty movieclips _visible to flase, but I think the problem is, when i try to set the _visible property to false, at the time nothing has been loaded into the empty movie clips.

plz help

Loading A Complicated XML-gallery Into A Movieclip - Simple LoadMovie() Doesnt Work
Hi tharr, first post, grats me.
Hello.

Im trying to load this xml-gallery.swf into my movieclip called “theloader”.

If i use

on (press) {

loadMovie(“sliding_gallery2.swf”, _root.theloader);

}

it does not work at all, looks like the stuff the xml-gallery.swf is trying to load can't be found because its in a new movie or something.

If i on the other hand use

on (press) {

loadMovie(“sliding_gallery2.swf”, _root);

}

it does work, but i cannot use this since i need to be able to controle where the xml-allery loads.

Why does it act like this?

thankful for fast replies

Button Works, Doesnt Work, Works, Doesnt Work With Each Click
I have this code on a button

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("smokeleft");
}

that obviously takes the viewer to a frame labled "smokeleft". At that frame there is a stop action and a MC with an instance name of "smokeleftmc"

I've followed this procedure with two more buttons and MC's, smoke and smokeright.

If a button is clicked once, it works perfect. However, if the button is clicked a second time, BEFORE one of the other two buttons is clicked, the play head will not trigger the MC again, rather it will move forward one frame (I assume it would move forward more if there wasn't a stop action).

If the button is clicked once, then a second button is clicked, then the first button is clicked a second time, it works exactly as designed. The only time there is a problem is if one button is clicked twice in a row.

How do I solve this? Thanks

Loading Swf Into Empty Movie Clip. Causes Preloader To Not Work.. Simple...
Hey guys this is my first time to post so hopefully i'll get everything right. I"m using flash mx 2004.
I am loading a swf file(lauravid) into an empty movie clip (emptymid)in my main swf file.

My preloader works fine whenever I test the swf seperatly.
Here is my action script i'm using.
Frame 1.
a = getBytesLoaded();
b = getBytesTotal();
c = Math.ceil((a/b)*100)+"%";
if (a == b) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}
this._x = 250;
this._y = 55;

Frame 2
gotoAndPlay (1);

Then I have a dynamic text box setup with the var of _root.c
As I said before it all works fine if I load the swf file seperatly.
My movie loads but the dynamic text box doesn't show the progress. I'm sure this is an easy one. Thanks in advance for you help!!!

Can't Get Simple Tween To Work When Loading Swf Into Empty Movie Clip
I have 3 buttons on the stage that load external swfs. I cannot get the swfs to tween in. I don't think I am targeting the right object. I have a empty movie clip on the stage called loader_mc but I think I need to target the loaded swf instead. Code below

ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

var inTween:Tween;
var outTween:Tween;

var SWFLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var SWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("loaded1.swf");
var SWFRequest2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("loaded2.swf");
var SWFRequest3:URLRequest = new URLRequest("loaded3.swf");


nav1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nav1_mc_CLICK);

function nav1_mc_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void
{
SWFLoader.load(SWFRequest);
loader_mc.addChild(SWFLoader);
inTween = new Tween(loader_mc, "alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,1,true);

}

nav2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nav2_mc_CLICK);

function nav2_mc_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void
{
SWFLoader.load(SWFRequest2);
loader_mc.addChild(SWFLoader);
loader_mc.alpha = 0;
inTween = new Tween(loader_mc, "alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,1,true);

}

nav3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nav3_mc_CLICK);

function nav3_mc_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void
{
SWFLoader.load(SWFRequest3);
loader_mc.addChild(SWFLoader);
}

Loading A Guestbook And Email Submission Form In A New Level In A Movie Doesn't Work
does anyone know why i am having trouble with the following situation:

i have a guestbook and email submission form, both of which talk to different PHP files and a txt file for the guestbook. I have a main movie file, my website, and within my website, I pull into it the guestbook and email submission form on a level, level 1. When both of these are loaded in on a level, they don't seem to be able to work, its as if they can't talk to the PHP files or something. However, if I access these swf files directly on the web they work fine. Its when I open my site that loads up these two different things that it doesn't work. please help if anyone can. thanks

My Movie Doesnt Listen To Me
Does flash create a new instance of a movie when you go back to earlier frames on the main timeline? If so, does it's instance name change?

I have a movie called toolTip and a button with a mouseOver event that calls a few things, including toolTip.swapDepths(5000). This works fine until I go forward a frame and back a frame, then the swapDepths action doesnt happen.

Although it is there it is like it is not listening.

Please help, thanks

Why Doesnt My Flash Movie Play?
I have made a scroll function and I read text from a Textfile into a textfield in the scroll... but when I try my movie nothing happens .... it`s just a blank screen ... but If i press the play (Flash) button the scroll and the text Shows up.... What`s wrong???

My Preloader Doesnt Appear Until The Movie Is Almost Loaded
I have a very simple preloader that displays the total bytes, the bytes loaded so far, as an integer, and the bytes loaded so far as a percentage onf the total. I tcalculates everything perfectly:

onClipEvent(load) {
bytestotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
bytesloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
loadprogress = Math.floor((bytesloaded/bytestotal) * 100) + "%";
if (substring(loadprogress,0,3) == 100) {
_root.gotoAndStop("start");
}
}

My problem is that it wont actually appear until about 60% of the loading is done... until then all I get is a blank screen. ANy reasons for this?

THe loader sequence is inside a movie clip sitting on the first frame of the top most layer on my root timeline.

The swf is around 60Kb, and I have noticed ont he bandwidth profiler that the first frames constitutes most of this. It shouldnt though becuase it only has the preloader. I am using system fonts the whole way through.

I am exporting a few sounds from the library, i think this is causing the delay. Is there any way to stop these from loading first?

Thanks

Gareth

LoadMovie() Doesnt Load Movie
hey all

i am trying to load in swf into a movie using the loadMovie() method to load a swf into a movie clip.

i named the instance of my movie clip "container"

i am attaching this script to a button on my navigation bar..

on (release) {
//container.loadMovie("overview.swf");
loadMovie("overview.swf", "container");
}

i was using the first line that commented out first but i think they both do the same thing.

this is not loading up the movie. i am not getting an error in the output window...

i have overview.swf in the same folder..

i think the problem is the blank movie clip. i dont know how to make a blank movie clip and set it to take in the movie. how do i change its dimensions etc?? i have a movie clip with nothing in it and an action on the first frame just saying goToAndPlay(1) just to make it loop any help???

Can anyone tell me why one movie refuses to load when uploaded to the internet, its a movie loaded inside another movie that plays on a button click.

The previous movie unloads which suggests that its partially working but nothing shows up which is dead annoying. I have double checked and triple checked that i have uploaded the swf and htm land everything correctly. Are there any other reaosns why it would not show?

Making Loaded Movie Navigation Work On Main Movie

Targeted Movie Clips Don’t Work Once Loaded Into A Container Movie.
Here’s my problem…

I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward.

Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie.

For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.

These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works.

I believe it’s because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the “_root” in the child movie is no longer the actual root?

I have tried both methods in the child movie:

//method without using ‘with’
_root.ContentWindow.play();

And using the “with” action like so:

//method using ‘with’
with (_root.ContentWindow) {
play();
}

It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it – cuz now the MC “ContentWindow” is no longer one level down from the “_root” but two levels?

For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()

Can anybody please help me with this? I’m afraid I have a ton of work that’s relying on this functionality and my deadline is dangerously drawing near!

I have posted the flas (main movie and submovie) at www.guntherrohn.com/team.fla  and www.guntherrohn.com/guntssite.fla

Html Doesnt Scroll My Whole Flash Movie?why
i dont know much about html...so...can someone tell me why the html window flash generates does not scroll my whole flash movie. the scroll bar does not let me scroll down to see the lower half of my movie(its long).I'm using flash mx6 and both explorer and safari on mac.
I do have dreamweaver but dont really use it...is there something i need to do to modify the html or create a new page altogether?
thanks kindly
