Flash Loaded Movie Clip Problem

flash

If anyone feels this question is inapropriate please remove it or notify me and I will.

Im having trouble figuring out this one, Im loading several movieclips into one. One movieclip as the base of the website and the others as individual pages. My problem is that now 3 of those movie clips when loaded appear to have been put off by a pixel or two which makes the text all blurry (pixel font).

I've confirmed that my "container" mc is at x0.0 and y0.0 and that all of the elements in the loaded movieclip are at precise numbers like: 192.0 34.0 not 123.5 or 34.6.

Suggestions are most welcomed 😉

EDIT: I've tried swapping the loaded MC for another one which displays fine and it did, so the problem must be within the loaded swf itself. Since by playing the loaded swf (the one who gets blurry) alone all appears fine and all positions are at .0 I cant really figure out whats going on.

UPDATE: I tried exporting for flash player 7 and it solved the issue any other version above will not work, can anyone provide insight on why this is happening?

Are you making sure to set your mc to not scale as well as be TL aligned? do a trace to make sure that they're sitting on a pixel relative to the stage:

trace(root.stage.container.x) //as3 or
trace(_root.container._x) //as2

R – Flash – Scroll area with dynamically loaded movie clips

Not sure exactly what you are after.

I just did a quick test with Flash CS3/AS3 and got loaded items to move around inside a mask (the base of a scroll box).

First I created a Mask layer then a new layer as a child of the mask. I added a new empty MovieClip to the Mask layer child. I named this MovieClip 'mcItems'.

I then attached the following frame script (of course using a Class would be preferable).

    for (var i:Number=0; i < 3; ++i)
    {
        var loader:Loader = new Loader();
        loader.load(new URLRequest('Content.swf'));
        mcItems.addChild(loader);
        loader.x = i * 120;
    };
    function update (event:Event)
    {
        mcItems.x = 120*Math.sin(getTimer()/500) - 60;
    };
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);

Now, Content.swf is just a 120x120 pixel gray box. My mask is 240x120. Upon execution the 3 Content.swf boxes are loaded and slide around inside the masked area as expected.

As for the scrollbar code, I am not sure what you mean by 'math hacks' but the basic principal is you are converting from one set of units to another. You are converting your "mask width / total items loaded with" units to your "scroll handle width / scroll bar width" units.

I recommend reviewing the appropriate manual pages for clarification of the code used above.

R – Flash AS3: Unable to view loaded swf after loading it inside of package

What is hc? Is that a MovieClip on the stage? What if you try:

hc.addChild(new HowdiniFrame(introPath, 0, 20));

or if hc is not a clip on the stage

hc = new HowdiniFrame(introPath, 0, 20);
addChild(hc);
