swapping images dynamicly

[unleash]

I'm trying to create an roll-over effect purely with action script. The idea is as following: There is an empty movieclip called mc1, then I dynamicly load an picture from my library into that. And when I roll-over an other picture will load into the mc.

How do I do this? it's not working with an simple, "mc1.loadMovie(pic1);"
So can this be done, and if so how?

alright, I got this one solved. I was using the wrong bit of code. For the people who want to know:

on (release) {
main.attachmovie("att1", "newname1", 1);
}

is the right bit of code, where "main" is the movieclip it should load to, "att1" is the file it should load.

that's a promising little snippet there, unleash:

Wouldn't it be somehow possible to set up a real simple scene with 2 media playback components, fed by 2 external mp3s like you did with the images?

That would give them independent play\volume controls, right?
Are you thinkin what I'm thinkin?

...REEEEEEMIX!

Reeemix indeed

I didn't even think about it that way, I just tryed to get a slideshow/ gallery thingy to work. But that is indeed a great idea....

Ooh Ooh, just an update,

I tried an "mutated" version of that part of code yesterday, for fun really. I made like a mini scratch table with 4 songs It was fun to make but I forgot to save the files

did you have any luck?

Freakin awesome, unleash!

I haven't had a chance to start on it, but I bet I can piece it together.

I've been thinkin, though.

It could also use drop-down menus to feed the song instances, yeah?
Maybe they could go to a whole music folder.

And since AScript 3.0, you can put custom sound effects on a sound instance. Like gate filters and fades and all that. Do you think those can be controlled by AScript, too?

Man! I gotta finish some of these WIPs so I can do this.

hmm, good questioning
As far as I know everything in AS3.0/ CS3 is an object but also a variable. So if the classes are configured the right way everything should be possible:P

so I think that everything can be controlled by AS3.0 but you should put in a listener then. Then it would also be cool if you could make a "game"where people could like mix there own sounds and then save them onto their hard disk, don't you agree?

anyways I will have a look at it this afternoon maybe I can figure some things out.

alright a new question occurd,

how can I center dynamicly loaded content(images), I used the snippet above in AS 2.0 but how to do the same in AS 3.0?

To center something that is aligned to the left is pretty simple, you just need to think a little differently about what's going on. Say you have a Movie Clip centered vertically and horizontally on the Stage. Well, the top-left corner, where the registration point is, is located a little off-center. In fact, it is located at the center (which equals half the width of the Stage), minus half the Movie Clip's width and minus half the Movie Cli's height. So to center that with ActionScript, you simply place it:

myMovieClip._x = (Stage.width/2) - (myMovieClip._width/2);
myMovieClip._y = (Stage.height/2) - (myMovieClip._height/2);

Or, to center one Movie Clip within another (like an image within a frame):

mcImg._x = mcFrame._x + ((mcFrame._width/2)-(mcImg._width/2));
mcImg._y = mcFrame._y + ((mcFrame. _height/2)-(mcImg. _height/2));

i found this snippet from another forum

Just don't tell tamlin i went elsewhere for information

hmm, I had that part solved...but that is AS 2.0,
and AS 3.0 isn't responding that well to that code

I will have another go at it, maybe an update tomorrow...
