Hide movie clip of external swf

Hi there.
I have my main.swf and in the second frame i load an external swf called first.swf with this method:
[AS]var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myGalleryContainerproducts",5);
myGalleryContainerproducts._lockroot=true;
loader.loadClip("first.swf",myGalleryContainerproducts);
myGalleryContainerproducts._y =86;
myGalleryContainerproducts._x =50;
[/AS]
In first.swf i have two movie clips with instance names ena and dyo
I want in main.swf in the third frame to hide these movie clips of first.swf (only the movie clips not the whole .swf) or to move them (change x and y values) so they practically hide.
Any solutions?
Thank you in advance

You will need to wait until the file is loaded to be able to interact with it, so if that might be an issue timing-wise then look into using the addListener method of the MovieClipLoader class. If the movie is loaded you should be able to access the movieclips within it using the movieclip name you assigned (mygalleryContainerproducts) to target them.

Mask - movie clip loaded from .swf

Hi!
I have made an application where a movie clip (map_mc) is
masked by another movie_clip (map_window_mc:
map_mc.setMask("map_window_mc");
This works fine until I try to load an "external" .swf into
map_mc:
map_mc.loadMovie("Testmap.swf");
Then the mask does not work anymore......
Any suggestions?
(The testmap.swf is also displaced from map_mc.........)

Depending on the approach you're using, there may not even
be an event
handler when the external SWF loads. If you're using the
MovieClipLoader
class, there will be. If you're using a
MovieClip.onEnterFrame loop, there
won't be.

Okay. So far, so good. When bytes loaded is greater than
zero and
greater than or equal to bytes total, you'll know the
external SWF has fully
loaded. You'll know, because the "Loading complete!" trace
will be visible
in your Output panel. Well, that means the place in this
script that
represents "where to put additional code" is right were your
trace()
functions are. Not in the "else" clause, but the first one
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (
map_mc.getBytesLoaded() > 0 &&
map_mc.getBytesLoaded() >= map_mc.getBytesTotal()
trace("Loading complete!");
trace("File width: " + map_mc._width);
[delete these trace() functions, if you like]
[add your masking code here]
delete this.onEnterFrame;
// etc.
> The code below does not work (the positioning of the
> map_mc works, but not the setMask):
Your problem may be right here ...
> map_mc.setMask("map_window_mc");
... because "map_window_mc" is in quotes. Yes, the
ActionScript Language
Reference says the parameter of setMask() may be a string,
but leave the
quotes out and see what happens. In any case,

Accessing movie clip from flash swf file

I have the situation where in flash i created a simple
animated movie clip with few stop() commands on timeline. Movie
clip consists of simple animatio played on roll over and on roll
out which is controlled using actionscript. I loaded movie clip
into flash using [embed] tag but actionscript code is stripped,
there is no stop() action so movie clip loops continously. I guess
that's normal behaviour for embedded flash swf files but i would
like to know is there a way to still achieve that? Can i load swf
some other way with its actionscript and then control movie clip
from flex?

You need the FLA's to open in Flash.
You could download the free trial of a flash decompiler
(www.sothink.com). The free trial won't give you actionscript, but
it will give you all of the art in the swf.

Same button on single frame to display/hide movie clip?

Hi, can a button on a single frame be coded to both display a movie clip on its first click and, after a second click, hide the movie clip? Thanks

Yes, assuming you make the movieclip invisible to start with, in the event handler function just use...
mc_name.visible = !mc_name.visible;

Auto hide (movie clip) task bar

How do I make a auto hide task bar (which is a movie clip)?

well
=====================

_root.top._x = 400;
_root.top._y = 220;
on (rollOut){
_root.top._x = 400;

}

just found here is the trick
==========
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function tweenY(mc, newLoc) {
var myTween = new Tween(mc, "_y", Strong.easeOut, mc._y,
newLoc, 0.5, true);
var mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
if (_ymouse > 394) {
tweenY(taskBar, 360);
} else if (_ymouse < 360 &&
!taskBar.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
tweenY(taskBar, 400);
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

Movie clip to seperate swf

hey quick question,
i already made my flash site but realized afterwards that swf file is way too big. i compressed the images in photoshop as jpgs (72 dpi) but the site still loads way too slow during the preloader. the only option that i can think of is to make the site a swf file and the work section as another swf file. how would go about creating a seperate swf from my work section (which is a movie clip)?
thanks

have you considered removing all the jpgs from the swf and loading them?

Target movi clip in separate swf

Hi, i am updating a website and am trying to move the "skip"
button to appear earlier. To do this I have to move the button to
another swf file.
now I can load the swf (dbo.swf) into an empty movie clip
(named empty_mc) easily enough, but I am trying to target different
things to happen inside of the newly loaded swf instead of playing
from the beginning. I tried this:
on (release) {
empty_mc.loadMovie("swfs/dbo.swf");
empty_mc.boxes_mc.gotoAndPlay("quickbuild");
empty_mc.gotoAndPlay("jump_home");
empty_mc.stopAllSounds();
...but it still plays from the first frame of dbo.swf instead
of playing the appropriate movies and frames. any suggestions?

When I load in a new .swf file into my main movie, it appears to load on top of the main movie.
This is the load function that we set up:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target1MC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target2MC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
var currMC:MovieClip = target2MC;
target1MC._alpha = 0;
function loadF(y:Number, d:Number) {
otherTargetF(currMC).swapDepths(Math.max(target1MC.getDepth(), target2MC.getDepth()));
mcl.loadClip("floors_swf/"+y+"_"+d+".swf",otherTargetF(currMC));
Is there a way to get the .swf file that gets loaded in to load behind the graphics in my main movie?
It appears to be loading into the target1MC, but I don't see where to set the level that it loads into?
Thanks

Controlling color of movie clip "rectangle" externally

I have a project that demands control of the fill color of a
rectangle shaped mc externally. So the user would have the control
to change the fill color of a movie clip by editing something
externally, not having to edit the flash file. Is this
possible?

yes. you could use an xml or text file to furnish colors to
flash.

Loading library movie symbol from external swf

Hi, I have a Flex/Air Application and I want this application
to load in an external SWF and display a particular asset from the
SWF library (just like attachMovie in AS2). I dont want to embed
the SWF into the Air application. For the life of me I can't find
any tangible info on how to do this. My second problem is that the
assets sit in an SWF published for AS2 (is that an issue?). All
content resides locally.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

I see now how to import and display a library class object
using:
var MovieClipClass:Class =
Class(loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("myLibraryAsset"))
var movieClip:Sprite = new MovieClipClass();
addChild(movieClip)
But this seems to only work for SWF's published for AS3 Flash
Player 9.
I need to do the same for SWF's published with AS2 Flash
Player 7.
Any ideas?

HitArea hide movie clip

Im trying to hide a clip on when one clips collide with
another using hit Tes and also hitArea, both of them doesnt
work....
I write the following code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.guardia, hitTest(_root.quienes)) {
hide == true;
} else {
hide == false;
Is something there i mess?
best,
IN

ok im understanding
"guardia" is the instance name of the mc also is a layer on
scene 1
"quienes" is the instance name of the mc that is inside a
mouse over buttom that is on scene 1
the action (the code) is inside frame 1 that is in other
layer on scene 1
I try these as you said:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.guardia.hitTest(_root.quienes)) {
guardia.hide =true;
} else {
guardia.hide =false;
but still doesnt work

Importing Movie Clips from External Hard Drive

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere...
I use my Sony SD card camcorder to save in AVCHD. I can import clips through iMovie to an external HD for editing etc. No problems. I want to know if rather than importing through iMovie, I can copy my AVCHD file directly to my external HD (using Finder) & then import the file from my external HD for processing later?
I tend to end up with numerous clips on my card, might be covering differnt events, differnt days etc. I don't always have time to import into iMovie on the day I shoot. For , the ability to just dump files to my HD quickly to free up SD card space would be really useful, but I am not sure it is possible
Any feedback welcome
D

Yes.
The best way is to use the iMovie import screen. At the bottom left you will see a button that says "Create Camera Archive". Press that button and you will copy the AVCHD to the location you specify.
Try IMPORT/FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE and verify that your clips show up. Then it is safe to erase your card.
Another way. Go into Disk Utility, Select your card. Choose Create Disk Image.
Another way. Go into Finder. Create a folder. Drag the entire contents of your card, including folders, and especially empty folders to this new folder. If you do it right, that is the same as an Archive.

How to access dynamic movie clips in a loaded swf

Hello,
I have a main movie file that loads a swf through loadclip.
There are several dynamic movie clips in the library of the
loaded swf (all set to export in first frame).
I'm trying to create a popup window (using the Window
component) by using code in the main movie to popup content that is
in a dynamic movie clip within the swf loaded by loadclip.
So far, I can create the popup without any problem as long as
the contentPath refers to a linkage identifier of a library item in
the main movie, but it won't work for a library item in the loaded
movie. Is there a way to make this work? Is there a special way to
reference library items in loaded movies?
Here's my code to create the window:
myWin = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
mx.containers.Window, true, {title:mytitle, contentPath:myref,
closeButton:true});
where myref is a string containing the linkage identifier for
the library item within the loaded swf.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Julia

I have found out that I can access a dynamic mc from the
loaded library (using attachMovie), but cannot use that same
dynamic mc as the contentpath for a popup window.
Any ideas why?

External swf path problem

Hi there,
I've just added some external swf.'s to my site which contain
various slideshows and galleries which now don't work at all. I
understand that all the paths in my external swf.'s containing
_root will assume that the main timeline is now the _root movie, so
I wondered if there might be a quicker way of correcting all the
paths without having to go through each one individually as there
are literally hundreds!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hey batchas07,
Thanks for getting back to me. Erm, I'm pretty new to flash,
(the actionscript side of it anyway), so I didn't really follow
your first solution. I'm currently using Flash MX so would that
still work?
I read somewhere else to try the 'this._lockroot = true;'
script in the first frame of my external swfs. but this doesn't
seem to have done the trick either?
To give you a bit more of an idea, I'm building a site which
has five links at the bottom of the stage which each take you to a
different container movie clip, (each with an instance name of
'holder'), which each of the external swfs load in to. I'm using
the (loadMovie("external.swf", "holder") ) method of getting the
movies. All the movies load in fine, but as some of them are
slideshows with movie clips inside them I'm guessing their paths
will all be wrong which is why they don't work. The only way I have
managed to make the main movie recognize the external swfs is to
add 'holder.' after '_root.' to all the paths to buttons and movie
clips in these external swfs, but doing this to all of them will
take a long time.
Really not sure why the 'this._lockroot = true' method isn't
working out for me???
Thanks again for the help.
