.txt file to movie clip

I am importing a .txt file which has a list of items, Can I
just use a href to a popup window. Or would using a mocie clip that
pops up be easier to do. If so How.
Thanks
TJ

Hi
That works fine when I've only got one frame at the top level
of the flash file, but I have files that have hundreds of frames at
the top level - I want to create a symbol that, when you open it,
has the same timeline as I'm seeing at that top level.
I tried onion-skinning the whole movie, selecting all and
converting to symbol, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any ideas?
Thanks

  • How can I call in swf file to movie clip?

    Hi all ...
    This is my first post for advise, although fairly conversant
    with flash and as2.
    I am developing a new full screen background style website
    and have menu buttons contained within a movie clip (nav_c1) ...
    this re-aligns to the top centre of a page when user scales the
    browser window.
    I then have the content area (centre_content) movie clip ...
    this realigns to the centre of the page when a user scales the
    browser window.
    I have scripted the menu buttons to goto a labelled frame in
    the main timeline but I need, when at the labelled frame, to be
    able to call/load in an external swf file to play 'inside' the
    centre_content movie clip?
    for example:
    If I click my news button the flash file moves to the frame
    label news on the main timeline. This then shows a duplicate of the
    moive clip 'centre_content' which is called 'centre_news'. I need
    to be able to call/load an external news.swf, containing all the
    animated news info, to sit and play 'within' the movie clip
    'centre_news' ... so that it is effectively contained 'within' the
    movie clip file but loaded in place from an external swf file.
    Can anyone help please?
    I can post a rough working example online if need be.
    Many thanks
    A puzzled Adrian
    ps: I don't think I am needing to load the swf to a level 1
    area as I have tried this and instead of the swf file being loaded
    and contained within my movie clip file/area it instead seems to
    sit fixed on the main timeline (ie: not contained within the movie
    clip area).

    Thanks Sketchsta for you code. This looks like we're on the
    right lines as I see what the code is trying to do.
    Unfortunately though I can't seem to get this to work?
    I created a new file to get rid of other scripting that was
    going on and have placed a movie clip called centre_content onto
    the main timeline in frame 1 ... then I have applied your script to
    an actions frame above the movie clip also on frame 1. I change the
    path_to_file line with my swf name (callin.swf) which is a 1 frame
    flash file with some text on it ...
    ... but it doesn't bring in the callin.swf file ... it just
    shows the centre_content clip.
    Am i doing anything wrong?
    I also tried putting the script onto the first frame inside
    the centre_content movie clip but this doesn't appear to work
    either.
    Regarding the pre-loader ... can I simply build this into the
    swf file that is being called in to the movie clip?
    Thanks in advance for your support, it is much appreciated.
    Adrian

  • Checking files for movie clips

    Hi,
    Is there a quicker way to do a global search within a large
    flash file to see if any movie clips still exist, without having to
    open every frame & check ea symbol individually on the timeline
    to check in addition to searching the library?
    thanks.

  • How load variables to a movie clip on a masked layer on my main time line

    the problem I have is that I been trying to load text from a
    text file news.txt into a movie clip on my main time line the
    problem is when the layer where the video clip is locates is masked
    the variables will not load, but it does work when the layer is
    unmasked, but then the website does not work the way it is suposed
    to look.
    any Idea on how I can get arround this????

    PArt of the problem will be due to declaring the uiLoader inside of a function.  When you do that you limit its scope to within that function.  You should declare it outside of any function if you need to access it in more than one function.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
    var uiLoader:UILoader;
    var targetObj:Object;
    The other problems I see regard the line you point to.  It is not spelling the name the same, using a lowercase "l". Also, if you want to target what the UILoader contains, you should target its "content" property, as in...
    targetObj = uiLoader.content.mask_01

  • Movie clips

    How can I convert layered .fla or .swf files into movie clips (not sure which to use)? I'd like to be able to use 3 of them (at reduced sizes) in one larger file. Flash - CS3. Thanks in advance.

    I did that using timeline/copy frames, but when I select timeline/
    paste frames - they're not in the correct position. Is there a paste 
    in position command I don't know?

  • Convert MXF files to MOV files, NO LASTCLIP.TXT in FCP 5.1.4

    Hello everyone. I am new to the forums. I have a project I have been asked to edit where the files came off of a P2 Card from a Panasonic HVX2000. The problem is, they didn't copy the LASTCLIP.TXT files off of the P2 Card. So I just have the files themselves. Is there a way to convert the files to .MOV files? I do know about the Log & Transfer, but you need the LASTCLIP.TXT for that. Thanks!!

    #38-P2 - Missing LASTCLIP.txt file. How to rebuild.
    Shane's Stock Answer #38 - When you offloaded the P2 cards, you forgot to get the LASTCLIP.tct file? No worries, not all is lost.
    MISSING LASTCLIP.TXT FILE:
    http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=58755
    If you neglected to copy the "lastclip.txt" file all is not lost. Much like the six million dollar man, we can rebuild him.
    Lastclip.txt can be generated by any text editor. If you are using a mac then open up textedit.
    Create a new txt file. It will have 3 lines to it.
    The first line is the name of the last clip that was recorded.
    Back to the finder. Open up your CONTENTS folder. In there, open up your VIDEO folder. Organize the folder by Date Last Modified. Find the name of the last file in this folder. If you have 16 clips in the folder is will be 0016ag.mxf or something like that. Four numbers and two letters followed by .mxf.
    Take this name and place in the first line of your text file. On the next line of the text file type in "1.0" (don't include the quotes).
    The third line is the number of clips in the folder +1. If you have 16 clips then the third line should read "17" (again no quotes).
    I'm not 100% sure if the number on the third line is the number of clips left in the folder (after any on-set deletions) or if it is the total number of clips generated during this session with the card. Try both. Remember to add 1 to that number.
    Your txt file should like something like this:
    0016ab.mxf
    1.0
    17
    That's it. You should be good to go. Put your CONTENTS folders in separate folders with separate LASTCLIP.txt folders and import them as separate P2 cards.
    The annoying thing is that all of the various .mxf files in these 6 folders are locked items and they must all be unlocked manually to erase them.
    It's much easier to import direct into FCP 5.0.4 or higher. It does so without leaving all of these locked files on your computer.

  • In Premiere I can edit an avi or mov clip but I can not save the result as a like file.  Why not???

    Let us start from the beginning.
    It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
    There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
    For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
    If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
    We will be watching for your follow up with details.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

  • Call actionscript file function from actions panel of a movie clip

    i have a movie clip with an actions layer
    can i call a function from an actionscript file from the actions panel?

    does that actionscript file specify a class or not?
    if not, then use:
    include "yourpath/yourfilename.as"
    on any timeline.
    any function in that as file will be added to the timeline that has the include statement and you reference that function with normal dot syntax from your calling timeline.
