Is there another (easier) way to load swf movies from the library into a movieclip other than the attachMovie function??
i originally set my flash up to load external swf files via the loadMovie command, but would now like to package the whole thing up to consist of only one file.
I need to load some swfs inside a movieclip with preloader.So on the stage I have some movieclips (linked to "product1" class) which will act as buttons to load particular swf, a holder mc and a dynamic textfield(named-"percent") for preloading stuff.My problem is how to reffer "percent" text field from the "product1" class? my code is like this.

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have this photo gallery I'm trying to make using internal XML, but I'm having a lot of issues getting it to work.
Here is a snippet of my code:
//var fm_tween:Tween;
var total:Number;
var photos_xml:XML = <thumbnails>

I have a swf (members.swf) that loads a list of members using an xml. In the information text for each member I would like to put a hyperlink that would load another swf (image_gallery.swf) that also uses an xml file. Ideally, I would like to create an xml for each member (member1.xml, member2.xml, member3.xml etc..) holding their image gallery information BUT I would like to use the same swf (image_gallery.swf) to load each member's image gallery according to their xml file data.
So basically I would like link to a swf file and specify the xml to be loaded for that swf in the hyperlink.

What is the difference bettween addChild and the movieclip which is in the movieclip.we can get those instance from getChildAt() but as per the internal movieclip we can get instance from "mc.mcInternal".But when i addChild in "mc" we unable to get that instance from this method "mc. mcInternal".what is the diffecenct between addChild and internal movieclip.
View 3 Replieshow can stop my animation internal movieclip?
View 1 RepliesIm really struggling with controlling a movieclip (frame-by-frame images w/ stop(); actions) by using the mouses horizontal position on the main stage. So basically I want to turn my stage into a showreel of images. Lets say the stage is 50 pixels; i would want some kind of code that would divide up the total length of my m/cs timeline, in order to show the first frame of the m/c when the y-axis is at 0, the last keyframe of the m/c when the y-axis = 500.
I have tried to use rollover commands on (miniscule) hit states covering the entire stage, but there must be a better way ( i plan on updating the images m/c a lot) ie. a lovely big chunk of confusing code?
is there anyway to access the internal bitmap representation of a movieclip that has its cacheasbitmap property set to true?It would be nice if I could create vector artwork that scaled to the size of the browser and then obtain a bitmap representation of it so that I could then manipulate it on a per pixel basis for some cool visual fx.
View 1 RepliesI have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.

I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
This is the bare bones of it:
Code:
sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;
addChild(sceneHolder);

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);

I have an interactive presentation which will have a small barker video with audio in the corner which will play through and loop as the user is moving through the presentation. On some screens of the presentation, I won't have room for the video, so I'll need to hide the video, but continue to play the audio from the same point.I thought the easiest way to accomplish this would be to just use a "skinless" FLVPlayback component which I could then just set to visible=false when I need to hide the video.
However, the FLVPlayback component seems to want a URL to an external FLV file. I would prefer to just include the FLV in the FLA's library, so that I don't have to keep track where the external FLV is, or make sure that the published SWF can find the folder where the external FLV is stored.So, is there a way to point FLVPlayback.source to an FLV asset in the Library instead of giving it an external URL?I realize I could just import the FLV to the library and add it to the stage manually at authortime;

View 1 RepliesI have a website im working on and I have it load multiple swfs etc. But although the site will load in the beginning it takes time to load each swf. Although I grasp the logic behind that is there a way to make them just all load at once? Like an AS code to include in a preloader of sorts?

View 2 RepliesI'm having a heck of a time trying to get a number of external SWFs loaded into one main SWF in successive order, the next one playing after the other has ended. To complicate matters, the external SWFs have FLV files in them.
using Flash CS3
Actionscript 3.0
So, here's essentially what I'm looking to do: - I have one main SWF file (call it main.swf)- load several SWF files into this file so they play in order (let's call them movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, and so on) - these external SWF files all have FLV progressive downloads (not embedded, becuase then my audio doesn't sync up) - I want movie1.swf to load and play in the main file, then detect when the movie is complete, and unload that audio/video then load in movie2.swf, and so on.
This script seemed promising, but loads all of my SWFs on top of each other, making for some ::interesting:: audio... (i have it pasted in actions on first frame in main.swf)
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf");var tl:MovieClip=this
var index:uint=0;
loadF(new Event("nada"));
[Code]....
Maybe there's some code that can be pasted in the individual SWFs?
I am using this thumbnail gallery attached but instead of loading images through the xml I want to load external SWF'S. I also want to be able to control each SWF loaded in individually apparently in order to do that I need to give the container different instance names..however I don't know how to extend the code inorder to achieve this..

View 3 RepliesI have a preloader and I want it to load each section when called with this code:
Callback function:
caps_mc.btn_continue_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpls);
function nextpls(e:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent.parent).nextSWF("startPage", parent);}
The code above tells the preloader that it is finished with the startPage and in the preloader it should next load faq, but I get an error saying that nextSWF is not a function when it clearly is, Is it even possible to use a preloader to load up swfs in this way??
Preloader:
import flash.display.*;import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loadedSWF:Loadervar progressPercent:Number;
function startLoad(SWFName:String):void { loadedSWF = new Loader(); loadedSWF.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gameLoaded);

Let's assume that I can't script the loaded swf, nor can the loaded one script the loader swf.
