Attach movie clips to scrollPane using attachMovie

Hi
I tried to attach movie clips to scrollPane using attachMovie
but could not do it
I tried the following code:
sp.contentPath="emptyMovieClip"
sp.content.attachMovie("boxesRow","boxesRow1",1)
trace(sp.content.boxesRow1)
Im able to trace the sp.content.boxesRow1 , but not seen in
the scrollPane
Can any one suggest me , how can I do this
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you very much

hi,
The code is correct....
But, what i want to know is, are using the Identifier name of
the moviclips ???
"emptyMovieClip" should be an Ideintifier name for an empty
clip in the library.
and "boxesRow" should refer an identifier name of another
movie clip in the library...(its should also contain some object
for the visibility check)...

IMovie HD refuses to import .MOV clips that it used to import.

I've got an odd problem. Doing a search didn't turn up anything relevant to my situation so I'm gonna try to pick some brains on here.
My Problem: My version of iMovie(5.0.2) no longer recognizes .mov clips that it used to. Meaning that when I try to import clips using settings that worked previously, I am now confronted with an Error during import message that reads "The file could not be imported: Unknown Error". Two things have changed since I last made a project.
1.) I have added a microphone that now allows me to record stereo audio. I don't think this is the culprit.
2.) I updated to 10.6.6 Recently. I think this may be what messed things up.
After trying to Drag and also import clips through the menu with no success, I tried to import clips that I have used before under the exact same conditions and was greeted with the same error. This is importing using the HDV 720p setting. If I try to import new or old clips using the standard DV (16:9) setting then everything works.
These same clips are able to be imported into iMovie '09 with no trouble but I am uncomfortable with that interface. Is there anything I can do to continue to work in iMovie HD or would I just be better off with getting used to iMovie 09?
Thank you for any replies.

I have Mac 10.6.6 and use iMovie 05 transferring it to iDVD 08. It is getting less easy to do, but usually i make the movie in 05, complete with chapter marking and press the export to DVD.
The file for the Movie I have made is saved automatically in the Movie folder on my owner/home page. To get it out to iDVD 08 open 08 and select create new project and click save This puts a small file into Documents, However to get your work into the new DVD select import>video and when the screen opens for you to find it go to your movie folder in your owners area and click to open the file. It works, but there is usually a problem somewhere along the line. Usually a different one each time, occasionally it goes like clockwork. It won't work if you try the drop down 'open' option.
This last time I got so irritated that I've downloaded the last set of film clips to 05 and then transferred them to 08 to compare the results. I still feel that the later versions are less good (?dumbed down) and await to be converted.

Attaching movie clips to other movie clips

I have mc1 nested like this
_root.mc3.mc2.mc1;
If i want to attach the mc1 from within mc2 timeline to the
_root timeline how can I do this?... I don't want to reattach it
from the library it must be the nested mc1 that is attached to the
root timeline.
Is there a way to attach movie clips to other m.c's in this
way?
regards J

I've spent nearly a year creating this site... I just taken a
glance at AS3. And sizeable isnt wrong... mamouth is closer. Other
than having to learn AS3 it would take me months to rewrite
everything. Is AS3 actually that much better than AS2? Either way
im gonna finish the site in AS2 and try and find a work around for
my attaching mc's to other mc's. Maybe one day I will convert it,
but it just looks like an unnecissary headache.
Thanks for your help. J

Urgent : Flash CC File is corrupted, symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0 . ONE week of work lost, need help!

Hello,
I have been working on a Flash File with a lot of animations / symbols etc, and on thursday (during the Adobe Update), when I opened my file, all the symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0.
The size of the file is still the same though, 35mo.
I had only this file, I really need help to repair it...
Please let me know if you have a solution.
Thank you!

hi,
Can you please share the file which got corrupted?
Was the original file created in older version(CS6 and below) of Flash?
Were you trying to open the file in Flash CS6?
Did your original file had symbol names containing | : ; & * , etc.characters or leading/trailing spaces?
Rgds,
Mukesh

Attach movie clips using seperate functions

I'm having a little trouble with the following code. I'm
calling two functions: init() and inittwo() to attach some movie
clips to the stage. If I comment one of them out, the other works
fine and the movement is okay. But as it is, only the "cloud" movie
clips are being attached. I need for the clips in the "dreamarray"
to be attached, and then for the "clouds" to be attached with a
second function. I'm probably not going about this the right way,
but I could sure use some help!
It would also be cool if I could attach the dreams at set "x"
values instead of random distribution. I'm not sure how to set a
seperate x value for each item in the array being attached.
var numClouds:Number = 10;
var fl:Number = 250;
var gravity:Number = .5;
var vx:Number = 0;

Hi Ive just taken a very quick look at your code and Ive
noticed at least one or two mistakes.
you are calling:
init();
inittwo();
before the actual functions have been declared.
Flash works from top to bottom when actioning code so by
calling:
init();
inittwo();
bofore the function has been declared and this will do
nothing as it cannot find the functions to call as they have been
declared AFTER the function calls.
The best thing to do is put any calls right at the bottom and
then you will know everything is ready to be triggered.

Resize attached movie clip

Hi,
I have a movie clip to which I attach several others always
at the same depth so one replaces the other. I was trying to change
the size of the attached movies by setting the ._width and ._height
properties and also by using the xscale without any luck. I finally
experimented with a tutorial example and got it to work and saw
that the only difference between the code in the example and my own
was the depth which I had set to 1 and the tutorial had set to 0. I
changed my depth to 0 and it worked.
I didn't see anything specifying that the depth had to be 0
and believe I am still missing something. If anyone cna help me
figure out what's going on I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Chris

From the location of the code, the relative path to newSlide
is
full_mc.newSlide as newSlide is in full_mc.
Thus you want:
function updateStage() {
full_mc.attachMovie(mySlide, "newSlide", 0);
full_mc.newSlide._width = 561;
full_mc.newSlide._height = 421;
full_mc.newSlide._x = 0;
full_mc.newSlide._y = 0;
Also note that you can do:
full_mc.attachMovie(mySlide, "newSlide",
0,{_x:0,_y:0,_width:561,_height:421});
Look up attachMovie for the optional initObect
parameter.

Attach movie clip + INVISIBLE

hey,
is there a way to attach a movie clip and make the object
INVISIBLE (i.e. make the object's alpha 0 as it is attached).
here's the line of code to attach the clip:
holder.attachMovie("frame1", "frame1_mc", 20, {_x: 30, _y:
35});
-donkeyboy

you can set any additional properties inside your brackets:
holder.attachMovie("frame1", "frame1_mc", 20, {_x: 30, _y:
35,_visible:false})
or
holder.attachMovie("frame1", "frame1_mc", 20, {_x: 30, _y:
35,_alpha:0})

Attach movie clip

Hello i asked this in my another topic but that topic was
mainly related with another problem.
my question is;
i have 3x3 square boxes ( "box_mc"s movie clips duplicated
from 1 "box" movie clip on stage)
I want to put a small box (that is movie clip "smallmc") in
front of bigger one(that is one of another mc "box_mc" already
placed on stage). When i click big box( i mean "box_mc") i want to
attach an instance of "smallmc" in front of big one.
i have this code in "box" mc ;
on (press) {
if (this.selected == 0) {
trace("box is selected");
selected = 1;
_root.attachMovie("smallmc","smallmc"+count,getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:this._x,_y:this._y} );
_root.count++;
trace(_root.count);
} else {
trace("unselected");
selected = 0;
_root.count--;
trace(_root.count);
but this code puts "smallmc" under "boxmc" :(( and 1 more
problem ;
i have 3x3 big boxes; and when i click a "boxmc" it puts 1
smallmc then i click another "boxmc" it puts "smallmc" but previous
one dissappearing.(but this is not prior problem i think first i
should put small boxes in front of big ones)
thank you for your all helps advices

Not sure if this will help but: getNextHighestDepth() is not
a standalone
method - it is a method of a MovieClip. You need something
like:
this.getNextHighestDepth() instead.

Attaching Movie Clips at runtime from library

Dear All,
I have 6 different clips in Library with the Linkage class
given to following names: Class: mc0, mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6,
And I want to attach these clips dynamically at run time
using the for loop in AS3.0:
For( var i=0; i<6; i++)
What should be the code for this at runtime attachment?
Regards,
Sridhar B

I looked to see if I could find a way to do this, and
convinced myself it's not possible. If it's important to do this in
a loop (I can't imagine why, but maybe you have a reason) you may
wish to add them explicitly with addChild(mc1) etc but locating
them "off stage" then you can reference them with this["mc"+i] in a
loop to change their coordinates to put them on stage.

Attaching movie clips to buttons

I would like to design a portfolio site in which I have small
buttons that, when moused over, they display, a pic just above it.
Each button triggers a different pic above it.

The best way to go about doing is is to use the MovieClip
class instead of the button class. Use the onRollover event. For
example, have a movie clip that displays the image on the second
frame. The use the actionscript: nameOfMovieClip.onRollover =
function():Void {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
If you want to use the button class to accomplish the same
task, then you will have to create an image that you want to
display then under the "over" frame of the button, place the image.
If you want the original image to be there and display the new
image, then just add a new layer and put the image in the new layer
while keeping to original layer.

Saving A Movie Clip for Later Use in PowerPoint Presentation

Does anyone know how I can save a non-copyright movie clip coming down the line and played on AOL so I can then insert it in a Mac PowerPoint presentation? When I try to download now, save and replay it, I can’t view it unless I go back to AOL, which will no be available at my presentation sight. Any help would be appreciated.

When I try to download now, save and replay it, I can’t view it unless I go back to AOL, which will no be available at my presentation sight.
Sounds like it is either a "reference" movie or RTSP streamed movie. You may be able to access the former by loading the URL directly to the QT Player and saving it if you have QT Pro (or you may not). In either case, a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X could be used to capture anything displayed on your monitor.

How can I burn Movie clips to Lightroom using DVD-RW disk

I have edited a file containg 2 dozen still photos and 7 movie clips. Although I can burn the still photos by clicking on EXPORT I am later told (but not the reason why) that the Movie clips did not successfully burn to disk.

AFAIK, there's no way to do that with Premiere Pro. You can probably find a utility on the Internet that will change the dates for you after the fact.
Cheers,
Jeff

Coding attached Movie Clips

So I want to have a movie clip appear on the screen when I
click the mouse. So i click all over the screen and there are movie
clips everywhere.
Then when I click A, I want another movie clip to appear in
each movie clip, and move across the screen.
I can get the second movie clip to appear ontop of the first
movie clip, but only the most recently placed one will move.

Thanks for the feedback, you helped me figure it out.
Ultimately is was the linkage that was the issue. I had them linked
as "01", and "02" etc.
All I had to do was change the link names to "1" and "2" and
presto! Thanks for your help..

Thank you Kglad for your quick response.
one thing that not happen
makegd is function for bonus golden fruit it will come every 3 min
it comes after 3 min but it's not single fruit that function work like other fruits.
function makegd() {
          if (seconds>0) {
                    clearInterval(rangdID);
                    rangdID = setInterval(makegd, ran);
