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 ...

[Flashcoders] loadMovie question
Hi Alain, I would think that would work too, but i tried that as well...not sure what's happening... in fact all of my coordinates are all screwed up...plus i've noticed that when i change the width of some clips it literally skews the clip as if i used the transform tool...very strange as i haven't touched the matrix of the clip... i've never had this happen before so i quite baffled 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
Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question
It sounds like you are not loading the JPG to the right target. Make sure your loadmovie is loading correctly.

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. You might have to rebuild a new Flash file if this persists ... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Helmut Granda Sent: 2 février 2007 12:25 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question It sounds like you are not loading the JPG to the right target.

I have a movieClip on stage and a movieClip in the library that has an identifier. The idea is to get the movieClip (which is exported for runtime) to load into the movieClip which is on stage. It serves as a placeholder until an image is called for elsewhere. For whatever reason I just can't get this to work: viewer.loadMovie(placeholder); ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

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.
