Do you mean loading clips that are in the library?
Use MovieClip.attachMovie();

  • Load movie clip

    Whenever I load a movie clip into the target and test my
    movie, the loaded movie clip always loads in the bottom right. I
    think this is a registration error but I am not sure how to fix it.
    My target is 835px by 635px, same as the movie clip I want to load.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Position the blank movie clip in the top left corner where
    you want to have
    the external movie clip loaded.
    Note that if the external movie clip has dynamic content
    creation via AS or
    different content size on higher numbered frames you may find
    it will show
    content to the left and top of the blank movie clip because
    initial size is
    not detectable. In particular if you are loading Flash movie
    that you
    created that you used a third party tool such as xCelsius. In
    this case you
    need to MovieClipLoader and once the onLoadInit event fires,
    manually
    position the blank movie clip which is passed as an argument
    for coding
    convenience.

  • How do I move clips from one Event to another?

    How do I move clips from one Event to another?
    As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    Try this:
    Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
    Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
    The best way is to drag it to the far right

  • Having a loaded movie clip talk to another movie clip

    Here's what I want to do:
    Load a clip into my main movie - "loadedMovie"
    at the end of the timeline in "loadedMovie" i want a
    function, perhaps setColor, which will change the colour of another
    movie clip which sits in the main movie.
    Does this make sense? for a loaded movie clip to change the
    color of an instance of another movie?
    Many thanks,
    Ray

    Sure make sense.
    If the clip you like to target is on main timeline of the
    movie than
    you will use something like :
    on (release) {
    var my_color:Color = new Color(_root.SomeMC);
    my_color.setRGB(0xFF00FF);
    You can also refer to it by level:
    (_level123.SomeMC);

    ...how to control movie clips using mause scroller...?

    Hi Ldavinci, I have noticed your posts on that particular
    site before. Just chiming in here... don't be afraid of Flash Help
    menu. There's a wealth of information there and I've found it much
    faster than waiting for a response from the forum. Then if it still
    doesn't make sense, at least you have a basic idea of specifics to
    ask.
    If you search for mouse wheel, you'll see an example under
    the Actionscript 2.0 Language Reference on this topic. That said,
    here's the example:

  • How do I move clips between projects?

    Should be a simple enough task but, how do I move clips made in one project to another project?

    clip media is not conained within a project per se, rather it is referenced by a project, so as long as the media is on the hard disc then it can be referenced by as many projects as you'd like.
    you can open multiple projects simultaneously ... then to move clips between the projects you can just drag and drop between the various projects' bins, or copy and paste if you prefer.

  • 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.

  • How can I copy layers from one .fla file to another .fla file?

    Hi,
    How can I copy layers from one .fla file to another .fla file? Please do help.
    Thanks.

    Select all the frames you want to copy, right click and select copy frames then select the file you want to paste them into and right click again and then paste frames.
    The layers the frames are should come across with them.

  • How to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear ste

    how to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear steps

    Hi,
    If you want to load InfoObjects in the form of hierarchies, you have to activate the indicator with hierarchies for each of the relevant InfoObjects in the InfoObject maintenance. If necessary, you need to specify whether the whole hierarchy or the hierarchy structure is to be time-dependent, whether the hierarchy can contain intervals, whether additional node attributes are allowed (only when loading using a PSA), and which characteristics are allowed.
    1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
    Choose Source System Tree ® Root (Source System) ® Context menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create.
    For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
    2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
    Optional: Choose InfoSource Tree ®Root (InfoSources) ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create Application Component.
    Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create InfoSource ® Direct Update
    Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
    3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
    Choose InfoSource tree ® Your Application Component ® One of your InfoSources ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
    The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
          Attributes
          Texts
          Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
    The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
    4.Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
    Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
    Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
    PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here. 
    5.Maintaining the hierarchy:
    Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
    PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields.  This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
    Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
    The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
    The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
    Description
    Field Name
    Length
    Type
    Node ID
    NODEID
    8
    NUMC
    InfoObject name
    INFOOBJECT
    30
    CHAR
    Node name
    NODENAME
    32
    CHAR
    Catalog ID
    LINK
    1
    CHAR
    Parent node
    PARENTID
    8
    NUMC
    First subnode
    CHILDID
    8
    NUMC
    Next adjacent node
    NEXTID
    8
    NUMC
    Language key
    LANGU
    1
    CHAR
    Description - short
    TXTSH
    20
    CHAR
    Description - medium
    TXTMD
    40
    CHAR
    Description- long
    TXTLG
    60
    CHAR
    The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
    The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
    6.Save your entries.
    Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.

  • How to edit movie clip in fla library?

    I'm attempting to edit some fla files that have embedded
    movie clips. I can't figure out how to edit the movie clip files in
    the library. I tried exporting the file to SWC file but can't edit
    that.
    Can anyone tell me how this is done? Do I need seperate
    source fla files that maybe I don't have for the movie clip files?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thanks for your reply. That's what I would normally do but I
    think the original programmers of this site did every thing they
    possibly could to make it difficult for a non-expert to edit. I've
    edited many flash sites but this one is ridiculous.
    I just can't find all the images that make up the movie clip
    to edit. I've looked through every layer and double clicked on
    everything. I've ran out of ideas.
    If anyone wants a challenge I'd be happy to send you the .fla
    file just to see what I'm talking about. You can't edit
    anything.

  • How can I move clips from one library to another? Clips are still in original drive and not in new drive.

    I am using iMovie 10.0.7 on a 1-week old iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.2. I migrated from iMovie 9 on a 2008 iMac running Snow Leopard and updated the libraries and events, etc.
    I have two external drives connected via USB. I want to move / consolidate the library and clips from one of the external drives to the new iMac's 3TB fusion drive. This is to make room on the external drive to run Time Machine backups.
    Apple's instructions on managing libraries and moving/copying clips/events tell me to drag to move between libraries and to Option-drag to copy. However, simply dragging only copies. I find that if I Command-drag the events/clips, I can "move" them. But when I look outside iMovie in the Mac OS X Finder, the event folders and clip files themselves are still sitting in the original drive.
    I'm very perplexed as to how to really move the clips and event structure. Should I manually copy the clips and event folder structure outside of iMovie? I worry I will mess up iMovie's internal record keeping and folder structure information.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it.
