AS2 :: Flex - .swf Loadmovie() And Unloadmovie() Fail When Nested Inside An AS3 .swf Container
Jun 25, 2009
I have an AS2 .swf being loaded as a child of a parent AS3 .swf. The AS2.swf calls loadmovie() and unloadmovie() to display 3 jpeg files. The images load the first time, but after that, a call to loadmovie() to replace the image, or a call to unloadmovie() fail. I found the following Adobe Bug report ([URL]) that has said this has been resolved, and also said that child movieclips could be replaced without a problem. Here is the code I'm calling.
I am making this site that reaquires me to unload a movie when i press the button but after i need another movie to load. How do I do this. These are the two movies:unloadMovie:Photo_HolderloadMovieThumbs_Holder
I have created an interface that uses a lot of the loadMovie command using levels. Once I have loaded a movie on say level 3...in that level 3 movieclip I will have another navigation that will load and then use the loadMovie command to load movie on level 3 as well. It loads it correctly but the back button that would contain the unloadMovie(3) command isn't unloading, say if the user wants to go back.
i have a little problem with the unloadMovie command. i have a button which is mc2_about here is the code
[Code]...
where i want to unload level1 which is a scrollbar with a text and load the portfolio section in an empty container... my structure i want to load in an empty container the swf's of the main navigation (home- portfolio,etc) and the sub-menus of it's categories[about me-print-web design) into levels. is there a simpliest way of doing that?
I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.
My basic requirement is to draw a circle inside a BorderContainer with the layout set to BasicLayout.I run this method in the CREATION_COMPLETE event of the BorderContainer object.[code]I know I must be missing something VERY basic here. Can I just draw like this OR should I draw in some other event? I know that I can create a Ellipse object and easily add it to the border container but I would like to know how I can do this using the graphics object.
Im using AS2. Now, i got this trouble: when i load an external movie into the main one, i had some errors if i put it into a containter mc, with this code: Code: loadMovie ("movie.swf", containter_mc); The scroll bar not only move the movie.swf object, but the container_mc too... So, i just load the movie without using a container, with this code: Code: loadMovie ("movie.swf", 2); And suprise! now the scroll bar works just fine. But... How can i position the movie into the main one? Like: movie._x = 200; movie._y = 200; How can i do that in the right way? (Sorry, but my english its not good enough ha! )

I"m a bit confused because FlexUnith 4's behavior. When I use fail() in try-catch body fail method is just ignored.
[Code]....
I suppose this one should fail as there is no way around it, but it succeeds and turns green. Whatam I doing wrong? When i put fail() before try-catch block it fails as it is suposed to. BTW using Flash builder 4.
I am building a 3D cube everything its fine.. but this code, loads the cube again the container. It must leave the cube alone, (the cube its on holderMC container). The content of my page its going to be in holderMContent container:
function faceClick(e:MouseEvent):void{ var loadit = new Loader(); holderMContent.addChild(loadit); loadit.load(new URLRequest("contacto.swf")); }
I need contacto.swf to loads over my main.swf its almost done, but why it loads the cube in that container.
After i look in kirupa foruns(and others) i found lots of information about how to load a movie into a container, making that the movie starts in a specific frame label.
I have 2 movies, the fist one "main.swf" contains the "container", the 2nd "teste.swf" contain the frames labeled like "F1", "F2" "F3" "F4" and "F5".
I am using this code Code: loadMovie(filename1.swf,_root.location1); To load an external swf into my movie. That external swf is a 'loader' for some JPEG images.
The external swf (filename1.swf) contains four empty movie clips, and this code Code: loadMovie("IS.JPG",inviteb); loadMovie("PLS.JPG",placeb); loadMovie("RSS.JPG",rsvpb); loadMovie("TYS.JPG",thankyoub); loadMovie("main.jpg",main);
The idea here is that (filename1.swf) can be placed in any directory with images bearing those names, then be called upon to display the images in that directory into my flash page. The problem is that it doesn't load the images. I am sure it is because it doesn't know what container to load them into, because of the nesting. But I don't know what location to use.
I have tried Code: _root.main _level0.main _level0.location1.main _root.location1.main but none of those work.
I am completely new to ActionScript. I am nesting an SWF in another SWF container to be able to send the clicks from the flash object to the javascript outside. I am able to receive the clicks outside and that part works fine. But the inner content is not scaled to the size of the outer container. I use mxmlc from the 3.5 SDK, without any additional parameters except the actionscript filename, to compile the actionscript to SWF. How can I make the inner content fill up the container?
How can I get instance name of the objects nested in container? I use mouse over event to reveal instance name, but it trace only instance number like "instance 122".
ActionScript Code: // object in container var nestedObject:Class = new Class(); container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showNames);
I have a movie with two squares. Depending on which button is pressed, the demmensions of the both squares change for which I used the following function:
The code for the other buttons is the same but with other arguments. Now do I also need to integrate a loadMovie in the different button actions, to load the different ext.swf's in a container on the stage, but I only want the swf's to load after the callback is finished (when the squares qre not moving any more) How does the loadMovie should look like?
I am having trouble using a custom event in flex. I need to dispatch an event from inside two nested components and receive it in the main application file. The basic set up is a main application file importing a custom "gallery" component.
In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
I have a loop that goes through data from a book and displays it. The book is not consistent in it's layout so I am trying to display it in two different ways. First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.
else if (newPanel == false){ // simpleData is just for the title bar of the new panel // otherwise the panel has no content
[Code]....
The error I get is: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property panel4.4 not found on components.readTest and there is no default value.
I have tried setting the "name" property instead of the "id" property.
I am creating an flex Air project,so mxml file will run. I have circles in one Big circle at one side and will be same on other side.
Now how to drag any circle from any Big circle to other side. Or it could be like any two container having circles, then how to drag and drop circle?
For one circle i am able to do drag and drop.But I want one Big circle on left hand side and one big circle on right hand side .And small circles with class names will be in these big circles.Now i want to drag and drop those small circles in big circles.Big cicles should not move. Even i have tried this code in actionscript
I have two flash movies communicating with each other using localConnection, passing an object from swfA to swfB. This seems to work fine, but will occasional fail. The only information we have is that the status event is fired with a level of error, there is no other information. Once a connection has failed it will continue to do so.
I don't know why it's happening but it is not a security problem (both movies are running on the same domain) and all communication is wrapped in a try..catch.
alternative method for communicating between movies? I've tried using ExternalInterface but it's too slow for the number of updates that are sent.
We have several flash objects written in FLEX and being rendered inside a single HTML page.We are using javascript to communicate between the objects and perform other page related operations.
Execution Flow:
In the creationComplete event of the FLEX code of our objects we execute the following (pseudo-ish) code: if (ExternalInterface.available) { ExternalInterface.addCallBack("initialize"); ExternalInterface.callMethod("ready");
[code]....
Sometimes the last javascript function outlined is never called. When this happens none of the error alerts appear, the final code is just not executed but everything up to this point has executed successfully.
This happens about 1/100+ times in Chrome/Firefox
This happens about 1/10 times in IE8
This happens about 9/10 times in IE7 (full disclosure - the only machine we have to use for testing this is also much slower)
Since the problem is intermittent and becomes more apparent in slower browsers/machines my suspicion is that it is timing related. If I stop the first flex 'intiailize' call from happening until I click a button in the UI instead of automatically on what is essentially 'creationComplete' everything ALWAYS works.
I have a scroll movieclip which contains 15 buttons each button is an instance of 1main button. I have the button frame inside the timeline of the movie clip and the actions in frame 1 of the clip.onrelease should call the loadMovie function and load another. swf in level 1.[code]it only works using LoadMovie not LoadMovieNum but instead of loading the swf into level 1 it loads into level 0.i can use this the way it is but why is it only loading in level 0?
I'm trying to place the 3d photo wall inside a container mc to enable a full-screen scroller also. I get the repeated error "1120: Access of undefined property con.
This is driving me nuts... is it impossible to use attachMovie inside a movieclip you used loadMovie on? For example, I have this but it doesn't work out:
Why doesn't this just load the firstImage.jpg through the loadMovie method and then create an attachedImage_mc on the imageHolder_mc (with the secondImage_mc)? All its doing as of now is loading the first image... then if I comment the loadMovie part, it attaches the second image.
EDIT: Just a little more info. Basically I have a movieclip called imageHolder_mc that I created manually on stage. This movieclip calls LoadMovie to load in a JPG, but later on I need too replace the entire content of it with a movieclip from the library (still keeping the imageHolder_mc instance name).
What I have is a draggable container with nested movieClips. So the container uses a MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP system and the nested movieClips use CLICK. BUT when I start dragging with my mouse on one of the nested movieClips and release after dragging the CLICK also gets fired. This is very annoying. Is there a workaround, or should I set this up different?
I have a project that I need to develop some Java code for. The project is using Flash and BlazeDS. For the initial build of the project, an Ant script is run that eventually runs what I believe is the Flex compiler (the sdk attribute points to a FlashBuilder 4 sdk/4.1.0 directory).
I've been having a right nightmare with this one. So here goes: I've created a dragable MC with a button assigned the following AS:
[Code]....
When I publish, the button does not load test.swf. I have created a blank MC 'container' for test.swf to load to but I need the button to be inside of the dragable MC. The .swf loads when the 'container' is cut and pasted into the dragable MC but to my novice suprise the .swf and the MC would be now both dragable My question is how do I load the .swf with this button inside of the MC and the 'container' outside?
