Load movie clip with a conditional dynamic text. IF...else...

I have two dynamic texts, both of them are going to generate numbers. If one has a greater value then the other one, a movie clip must be loaded, else, another movie clip must be loaded.

assuming you meant they're input textfields, use Event.CHANGE listeners to determine when a user changes the text property of those textfields.
tf1.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,textF);
tf2.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,textF);
function textF(e:Event):void{
if(!isNaN(Number(tf1.text)) && !isNaN(Number(tf2.text))){
var mc:MovieClip;
if(Number(tf1.text)<Number(tf2.text){
mc=new MovieClip1();
} else {
mc=new MovieClip2();
addChild(mc)

Problems with hyperlinks in dynamic text

Hi,
I have a dynamic textbox on the 3rd level of a flash movie. The textbox has some hyperlinks for which I used this AS2 code as a test:
textbox.html = true;
textbox.htmlText = "<a href=' http://www.adobe.com' target='_blank'>Adobe</a>";
When I test the scene it works well on all levels apart from the root level. When I test the whole movie, the link does not respond. On rollover the mouse converts into a text cursor, and I have to click several times, until randomly a hand comes up and the link opens. I don't understand why on all sublevels (in the movieclips), the link works perfectly (on rollover mouse becomes hand and click loads URL int browser), but not on the root level. Btw, I placed the movie with the textbox on top, so there is no layer above that in the root timeline. Please help!!!
Thanks.

Thanks for your response dalcde. However, in my dynamic textbox I have a list with more than 50 different items with different links, and using the HTML tag seems more convenient.
I experimented a bit and found out what causes the problem:
The parent movie clip of the movie clip with the textbox has a mirrored reflection attached to it, for which I use this code:
import flash.display.*;//importing the bitmap class
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(860, 330);//definition of a variable for the target bitmap and assigning values
link_ref.attachBitmap(bmd, 1);//attaches target bitmap to movie clip (reflection)
link_ref.setMask(link_mask);//sets mask over movie clip (reflection)
this.onEnterFrame = function()
bmd.draw(link_contents);
When I switch that off, the link works fine when testing the movie. This is a bit weired cause when I test the scene with the reflection (2nd level after root) the link works fine. The problem only occurs when I test the movie (level 1). Anyways, switching off the reflection is obviously not an option as all the sites on my website have reflections. Is there a workaround to this? I was never aware that the bitmap class could interfere with hyperlinks.
Thanks.

How can I load a .TXT file into a dynamic text box?

I am sure that many people know how to load a .txt file into
a dynamic text box. But I do not. I want to be able to reference a
txt file from the server into the text box. So that when I change
the text file it changes in the flash movie without even editing
the flash file itself. Thank you.

I think this is the simplest way to go :)

Copying movie clip with flv

Hi, I am trying to copy a movie clip with an flv in it from
one project to another. Everything works fine except the flv just
keeps trying to load and never plays. I am not sure what to do. Any
suggestions?

It sounds like you are using the FLVPlayback component to
display the FLV, in which case, the FLV is a separate file and
likely needs to be in the folder next to the new project. Go back
to the old project and copy the FLV from its location there to the
new projects folder.

Play multiple movie clips - with sound

Hello Forum members,
I am a total new comer in terms of flash and action script,
self-educated and Adobe forum and internet educated. I can now
click a button and stop and start a movie clip, use attachMovie,
and even mute sound in a movie clip (not video). I am currently
using Flash 8, and waiting for CS3 (downloaded a trial, and like it
better than Flash 8).
Enough history - now to my question - I have an application
that had 3 scenes. I read in some Adobe article
"Flash Best Practices" that it was not a good idea to use
scenes in an application. I converted my Scene 2 and Scene 3 into
movie clips.
I figured I could either put each movie clip on a separate
layer in my timeline (mc_scene2, mc_scene3)
and play them, one after the other (did not quite work, more
later). Or...
copy the timelines from the scenes, and add those frames to
my Scene 1, making a application with both scenes staggered one
after the other in the main timeline. Or...
Keep Scene 1 and at the end of scene 1,
attacheMovie("mc_scene2", etc) and when scene 2 was done play and
or attach the final movie clip (mc_scene3).
I could not figure out how to tell when mc_scene2 was done
using the attacheMovie method, so I could then attach mc_scene3,
etc.
How would I be able to tell when one attached or loaded movie
clip is finished, and then start the next one?
Or what is the suggested way to use actionscript to load a
movie, play it, and when the clip is done, load and play the next,
etc.
Thanks for a good forum,

Hello Again - I guess there is much that I do not understand.
I followed the tip above - or so I thought.
I have "buttons" on my movie clips that play the clip when
clicked.
I have placed stop actions in frame 1 of each movie clip.
I tried placing mc_scene2 and mc_scene3 on their own layer
in the timeline,
and put the code above in my actions layer (Scene 1).
it seems that nothing really works - the _visible property
seems not to work,
etc - I must be doing something wrong. What layer should the
two mc's be
placed?
Thanks for the info

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.

Noob help: Triggering Movie Clips with Buttons

Hi guys,
I'm taking an intro Flash and Action Script class and for my final I need to create a portfolio project that contains 5 unique buttons that trigger 5 unique movie clips. I'm having a hard time with this. I've been able to trigger the 1st movie clip with the first button (although I can't stop it) but I can't trigger any ohter movies with any other buttons.
Here's my code:
stop();
chuck1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
    spaceship_mc.play();
chuck2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSaucers);
function playSaucers(event:MouseEvent):void
    saucers_mc.play();
Nothing happens when I click on chuck2_btn when I test the movie. I think I need to create a variable or class but I'm not sure. I'm a super noob with this stuff. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Rick

You should learn how to use the Help documentation to find answers like how to use the visible property. For the code you showed earlier, here's what you can try in frame 1 to replace it.
stop();
spaceship_mc.visible = false;
saucers_mc.visible = false;
slideshow_mc.visible = false;
chuck1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
     spaceship_mc.visible = true;
     saucers_mc.visible = false;
     slideshow_mc.visible = false;
    spaceship_mc.play();
chuck2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSaucers);
function playSaucers(event:MouseEvent):void
     spaceship_mc.visible = false;
     saucers_mc.visible = true;
     slideshow_mc.visible = false;
    saucers_mc.play();
etc...
It could be refined, like having a function that hides everything and using that every time before making the one you need to show visible. You might find it necessary to include telling the movies to gotoAndStop(1) as well.
That's about as generous as I'm going to get. It's important that you learn things, and handing you a solution isn't going to help do that.

Check for movie clips with AS?

Is it possible to check if a frame contain a movie clip with
AS, and then if movie clip is found run a function? Like a global
"event handler " for movie clips.

I want a function that automaticly can detect and fade in any
movie clip found in any keyframe in the main timeline. So i don't
have to make
In the first keyframe in the main timeline
on (ohh here i found a movie clip)
//let's run a nice fade function on that movie clip
mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start
(eval(TheClip),
{type:mx.transitions.Fade,
direction:0,
duration:1,
easing:mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,
param1:empty,
param2:empty
Something like that

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);

Moving movie clips with ActionScript

I am trying to move four movie clips with actionscript in a
circler motion with two buttons, one to rotate the mc’s to
the left and one button to rotate the mc’s to the right. Here
is a link to what I am trying to do;
http://www.us.playstation.com/Lair/
and it is undrer game features.

Yes, that's what the code I gave you is intended to do....
you replace that code with whatever action you need to take to turn
your movie around.
I have no idea what your movieclip is doing, but I'm guessing
by your response that if it was an arrow pointing left to right
(just an example), you want it to be pointing right to left when
the left arrow is pressed. If you want an immediate turn around,
then the simplest way to do that is to have another frame
containing the movieclip that it moves to where it faces the other
direction--and to have it appear turned around, from the toolbar
you select Modify -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal.
So the movieclip would live inside another movieclip that has
two frames with stop()'s for each frame. In the first frame you
would have the subclip facing left to right, and in the second you
would have it facing right to left. If we call that 2-framed
movieclip "walker", the code I provided before would
become...

Exporting a move clip with alpha channel

Hi there,
I’m trying to export a move clips with alpha channel.
I’m trying to export an animation with Premiere CS5. I made an animation of a rotating object in Maya and exported it with alpha channel as tiff images. Then they are edited with Photoshop to give them a drop shadow.
My problem is this. Can I export this tiff animation with the alpha channel?
My plane is to use move clips over backgrounds in a game – depending on the result there are different animations playing on top of several different backgrounds. There for the objects has to have a transparent/alpha channel over the backgrounds.
Again the reason for this is the complexity of the game and to make the game looking as real as possible. I’m hoping for some help here to make my plan possible
…thanks

Thanks alot for the help.
But now I’m wondering how to get the file size down?
The 32bit and alpha channel just increase the file size from about 1MB to 9,3MB, which is pretty much??
…any ides mate?

Printing a movie clip with dynamic text boxes

I've got a certificate inside a movie clip, and i want the
dynamic text box to dispay the user name, but for some reason it is
coming up undefined, even though i have the dynamic text box set to
finalname = _root.inputname, but it comes up as undefined on the
screen. :( Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong?
Is there a way to print just a specific movie clip on the
screen? I can only print all the frames in the movie and without
the dynamic text box... any help would be greatly
appreciated.

assign the mouseChildren property of your movieclip to false.

Loading movie clip to stage with button click AS3

I'm trying to figure out how to load a movie clip to the stage with a button click and have the movieclip close again using a close button. Does anyone have a step by step on how to do this or links to some tutorials.
Below is an example of what I'm trying to do.

Alrighty I changed the publish settings to as3. I'm still getting two errors:
Scene 1
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Popup1Btn.
Scene 1, Layer 'as', Frame 1, Line 3
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class.
So my setup on my main timeline is I have an actionscript layer with this code now:
var popup1:Popup1
Popup1Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,addF);
ClosePopup1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closeF);
function addF(e:MouseEvent):void{
popup1=new Popup1();
addChild(popup1);
function closeF(e:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(popup1);
popup1=null;
On the stage I have a button with the isntance/AS linkage name Popup1Btn. Inside my Popup1 MC I have a box with text and then a button with the instance/linkage name ClosePopup1 to close the popup.
What am I missing?
