Flash CC: Load MovieClip using button

Im here because im really stuck, and i need to finish my job quiclky.
I never used FLash CC, I always used Flash 8... So much easy to load clips etc.
Well, Here is the .FLA in Flash CC format so u guys can give me a little hand (please).http://www.sendspace.com/file/u6mh4p
The thing that i want to do is: When i make click on button History (first button on the left side) "Not the logo" i Want to load MovieClip called History (stopped one).
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance RushWHQ

assign your button an instance name (done same way in cc as flash 8 - eg, history_btn) and assign your library movieclip a class (right click the library symbol >click properties>tick export for actionscript>enter a class name in the class field - eg, HistoryClass). then in the actions panel, use:
var history_instance:HistoryClass;
history_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
history_instance=new HistoryClass();
addChild(history_instance);

Flash Profiler Kills Flash, Always Loading After Use, Becomes Unusable

Hello,
I have been using the Flash Profiler to fix memory leaks. It seems every time I do two snap shots and looking for lingering objects, as soon as I go back to coding my cursor wont stop loading and Flash Builder is basicly unusable. I have to restart Flash Builder and it works fine. It's a pain because I want to use Flash Profiler to jump to spots of the code and it just will not stop loading whatever it is loading even though I am done with the memory analyis.
Any suggestions?

Is wolfenstein a wine game? If so There are a bunch of optional dependencies for wine. You can see them if you do "pacman -Qi wine" (same for any installed program in Arch unless installed without pacman/PKGBUILD). Some that I have installed are:
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-libpulse
If the game is a 32 bit windows game running through wine you may need some of these. If that doesn't work you can run it through the pulseaudio wrapper like this: "padsp wine /path/to/game.exe" Where /path/to/game.exe is the path to your wolfenstein executable. You can also check your sound settings with a program called "winecfg" (the defaults work fine for me though). To verify that your game is using pulseaudio there is a program called "pavucontrol" that will tell you all of the programs currently using sound through pulseaudio. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also found this which may be of interest I don't know: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/et-sdl-sound/

How to open an swf in its own window outside flash using button

how do I open an swf in its own window outside the flash using button?

Hi,
Try this code:
import mx.containers.Window;
var my_button:mx.controls.Button;
var buttonListener:Object = new Object();
buttonListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
var my_win:MovieClip = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(evt_obj.target, Window, true, {title:"Sample Image", contentPath:"uganda_animation_Scene 1.swf"});
my_win.setSize(320, 240);
my_button.addEventListener("click", buttonListener);
You must drag the window default component and place in to the library.

Flash component loads slowly or renders slowly

Hi,
Does anyone have a problem with flash 8 components loading
very slowly. I have a mainmovie page that loads other .swf files
into a movieclip. The sub movie has got flash 8 components,
basically, 4 buttons, 4 datefields, one combo box, one menu bar and
one datagrid. When i load the sub movie into the mainmovie, the
components flashes for a second and then shows the components. I
use a moviecliploader as well to hide the loaded movie and only
after it's loaded then show the loaded movie, still the components
flash.
Any ideas as i have been trying to solve this for about 5
hours now. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi clbeech,
Thanks for replying. Nope, i am not using
getNextHighestDepth() anywhere in my classes or on the timeline.
What i have done is use an empty movieclip, named it dropzone, and
when a menu item is clicked, an external movie loads into that
movieclip. The external movie is loaded using the moviecliploader
class.
Here's the code from the class that might possibly help...
//The helpful Delegate for UI component event listeners
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class loadCenterApps extends MovieClip
public var menubarObject : Object;
private var mclListener : Object;
private var menu;
private var imageLoader : MovieClipLoader;
public var root : MovieClip
// constructor function
public function loadCenterApps (root : MovieClip)
this.root = root;
mclListener = new Object ();
imageLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
mclListener.onLoadProgress = Delegate.create (this,
this.onMclListenerProgress);
mclListener.onLoadInit = Delegate.create (this,
this.onMclListenerInit);
imageLoader.addListener (mclListener);
init (root.my_mb);
private function init (menubarObject)
root.my_mb = menubarObject;
menu = root.my_mb.addMenu ("File");
menu.addMenuItem (
label : "Save", data : "saveReport.swf"
menu.addMenuItem (

menu = root.my_mb.addMenu ("User Management");
menu.addMenuItem (
label : "Add, Delete and Change Password", data :
"addUser.swf"
root.my_mb.addEventListener ('change', Delegate.create
(this, menuListener));
public function menuListener (evt_obj : Object)
destroy ();
var someRandom = getTimer () + random (1000000000);
//var toLoadClip = evt_obj.menuItem.attributes.data + "?=" +
someRandom;
var toLoadClip = evt_obj.menuItem.attributes.data;
imageLoader.loadClip (toLoadClip, root.dropzone);

Load movieclip

Hey, hopefully someone can help me out. I'm having a problem
getting the load movieclip script to work. Here's my situation, I
have a swf file that I want to load into another swf, I have this
test file that I'm working on, I created the swf that I want to
pull in. no problem. I attach the load movie script to a button I
pull from the UI Components and when I test the movie it works,
plays the swf file just right. I create, say a oval for example,
make that a button and attach the script and test the movie,
nothing! Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can attach .fla file if
need be. Thanks for any help.

Hey no problem. Nothing to apologize for and remember, "There
are no stupid questions, just stupid people asking question." :)
(That is totally meant as a joke!) We all have to start someplace.
First, I don't think there is a click event for movieclips.
There is for the UI components, but for movie clips or button
instances you would use Press or Release. I haven't used that kind
of coding since 2001, so I'm not quite familiar with the exact
capitalization. See, this is something that without seeing the code
we would go around for hours on!
But there is a more important issue – IMHO – and
this is you are using the old (From Flash 5 days) style of coding
event handlers. The approach given by _name above is much more
modern, easier to use and maintain, and just plain better. David
Stiller who helps out here a lot has a great entry in his blog
about it. Check this link out:

Load image using the loader class problem

Hi, I'm trying to load an image in a movieclip using using the following:
Load_image_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Load_image);
function Load_image(event:MouseEvent):void
    var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
    my_loader.load(new URLRequest("C:\Users\Amanda\Desktop\picture1"));
    addChild(my_loader);
When I enter just "picture1" for the location it works, but like this it is giving me the following error: Error #2000: No active security context. How can I go about this, as I want to have a picture which in a separate location from that of the flash file?
I would also like to have the image located in a particular location (x,y) of the movieclip, is this possible? thanks in advance.

I am using the following code:
function AddViewDetails(event:ListEvent):void
var mc:MovieClip=new Additional_Req_Info(); // where Additional_Req_Info is the class name
addChild(mc);
var clickedName:String = event.currentTarget.name;
trace (clickedName);      /////prints Current_Req_List
var instanceName:String = clickedName + (Current_Req_List.selectedIndex + 1);
trace (instanceName); /////prints Current_Req_List1, Current_Req_List2, etc depending on list item selected
if(!getChildByName(instanceName)){
var classRef:Class=Class(getDefinitionByName(instanceName));
trace (classRef);   ////not printed
var mc:MovieClip=new classRef();
mc.name=instanceName;
trace (mc.name);   ////not printed
And its giving me the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Current_Req_List1 is not defined.
at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
at Websiteversion4_Scene1_fla::MainTimeline/AddViewDetails()[Websiteversion4_Scene1_fla.Main Timeline::frame1:185]
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at fl.controls::SelectableList/handleCellRendererDoubleClick()
How can I define the list items if they are dynamically generated i.e. at runtime? thanks!!!

Trying to use Buttons and keep getting an error code

The error appears to involve trying to assign a value to the graphics property of a MovieClip. Do you have code that uses something.graphics =

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

Is it faster to load several separate buttons, or one Nav?

I'm working on a flash navigation for my site in development. I finished one of my buttons, I originally wanted to have each button as a separate flash object so if I wanted to change the name or what it looked like I could just swap it out rather then having to edit the .fla file. I'm using graphics I made in Photoshop for the button's bg. Also, each button has a sound on mouse-over.
I'm planning to have five buttons in total. One button is 10KB on the compression settings that I am happy with. Would it be faster for the page loading time though if I combined all the buttons into one flash object consisting of five separate frames?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by independent folders. You can always organize your Layers to have Layer folders but that is simply to organize the Layers and to collapse them to save real estate when necessary and expand them to see detail when necessary. It won't make a difference how you structure your FLA because all of your buttons will be embedded in your Library in the single SWF at runtime. So I guess you would still have all of the buttons externalized in the single SWF? As opposed to embedding them in your master Site SWF? Then you can use the load() method to load your buttons.swf file into your master.swf file . You still might run the risk of your server not responding well to the load() method at times and failing to load your nav buttons as opposed to if you had them embedded in your master swf. But if you have a reliable server and no bottleneck on your site then you could externalize all of your buttons. One cool thing is to have your graphical appearance of your buttons embedded into your master.swf file and your button labels externalized into an XML file that is basically like a text HTML file that can be changed and updated using a simple text editor and you would never have to reauthor the FLA file to make changes. You might even be able to format the font appearance but I'm not entirely sure since I'm still new to using XML to format content. But I do know that XML can be used to change the content of the text such as what the text actually says. You would externalize this .xml file the same way you would externalize an .AS actionscript file which would contain packages and classes as opposed to having your actionscript on Frame 1 of your FLA.

Flash CS3, Having Problems Creating Button Animation

I am relatively new to Flash CS3, and don't use action script... I am creating an animation with sound using the button graphic option so it is a clickable button. I have the animation finished, and the sound embeded, and everything is working great, except when I publish it, I have to click and hold over the graphic for the animation to happen... If I click and release, the animation and sound clips stop... What am I doing wrong and how on Earth can I fix it??? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!!

Yup, that is how it works. You can't control which state a button is in. So when you click on it, it will go to the down state and when you let go it will go back to over (or up if you release outside).
Not sure exactly what the "fix" is. It depends upon what you are trying to do. Generally you would need to use MovieClips instead of buttons with event handlers to tell you "button" what to do. Very few people I know actually use buttons.

Don't want Flash to load or do you? ClickToFlash-plugin

Discretion from MacUpdate web page:
DESCRIPTION
ClickToFlash is a WebKit plug-in that prevents automatic loading of Adobe Flash content. If you want to see the content, you can opt-in by clicking on it or adding an entire site to the whitelist.
Try control-clicking (or right-clicking) on an unloaded Flash box to access ClickToFlash's contextual menu which allows you to do advanced things like edit its whitelist, specify settings, and load all Flash on the page.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30682
You can click on the cog icon in the upper left of the Flash bounding box to open a preference box.
I haven't played with it much. Two things I do like is you can load the h.264 video from youtube and play it in Quicktime instead of Flash player. Web pages full of Flash ads load extremely fast.
You can also download the video.
Here's the ClicktoFlash web page.

The datasource acts as a connection object that has all the
information your query needs to
connect to the desired data base. You do a one-time setup in
the ColdFusion Admin as outlined
below. After that, all you have to do in your query is point
to the datasource name in order to
connect.
Here are instructions on how to set up a datasource for your
Access database:
1. Go to the ColdFusion
Administrator/Data&Services/DataSources.
2. In the main frame on the right, under Add New Data Source,
enter a name for your datasource. NOTE: it must comply with
ColdFusion
naming conventions.
3. For a Driver, select Microsoft Access with Unicode.
4. Click the Add button.
5. For Database File, browse to the mdb you are using for a
database.
6. If you wish, you can fill in descriptive notes about the
db under Description.
7. If you are using a Username and Password, click on
Advanced Settings and enter them.
8. If many people are going to hit your Access database,
check Limit Connections and
set Restrict Connections to 1 (MS Access is
single-threaded).
9. Click the Submit button.
10.You will be brought back to the main Data Source page.
Your new data source should be
there with an OK next to it. This means you can connect to
your datasource via ColdFusion.
When using cfquery, you will use the name you gave your
datasource in step 2 above for the
datasource attribute.
<cfquery datasource="datasourcenameFromStep2"
name="yourQuery">
SELECT model, make, year
FROM carTable
</cfquery>
As mentioned in other posts, you don't have to use
Dreamweaver. You can code CFML using a standard text editor like
Notepad. Dreamweaver does however provide many productivity
benefits
for development projects.
