Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question
Had that problem once, that was because I had a number in the instance name, which flash wasn't handling well... How are you assigning the '1' to 'card1' ? read this: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-December/177045.html On 2/2/07, [p e r c e p t i c o n] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: here's what the output window is spitting out...

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question
it sounds like you might be targeting the main clip and not the nested clip beneath the mask. mc > mc.mask, mc.holder_mc (empty) - beneath the mask on a layer mc.holder_mc.loadMovie("foo.jpg"); - should be affected by the mask layer inside of the mc movieclip On 2/2/07, [p e r c e p t i c o n] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello all, i'm trying to load a jpg into a movie clip that is nested within a movieclip and masked by another movieclip within the same clip for example movieclip_a.mask movieclip_a.masked the problem is that the jpg is showing up on top of everything...shouldn't it be behind the mask even if it is larger than everything else? thanks p ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com -- eric e. dolecki senior interactive engineer http://www.ericd.net ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question
Yes or use the MovieClipLoader class var mLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); mLoader.load(movieclip_a.masked, "image.jpg"); If you load your jpeg to a depth of 0 it might overwrite the masked movieClip and thus you lose the mask as for the skewing, have you rotated or modified your clips inside the IDE before applying your modifications ? this might affect the actual way it is resized. Othewise I'm with you ... this is indeed weird.

RE: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question
You should try masking your movieclip through code, as you are loading into it with code : movieclip_a.masked.setMask(movieclip_a.mask); then your masked movieClip should remain masked even if you load a jpeg inside it. I say should, but I've not tested this precise setup ...

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question
Thanks, finally got it working. Just to expand on that, loadMovie loads an external SWF or JPG (and more in Flash 8) into a MovieClip. attachMovie loads a "named" MovieClip from your flash library into a MovieClip.
