Does anyone know how I can load a movie into level1 that has sounds embeded in it and be able to play them? I would like to load the sounds using code on the timeline. I don't understand why my method is not working.Here is what I tried.I have a movie that I am loading into level 1.My sounds are inside the movie that I load into level1.So I ran a test and if I load the movie into level0 the following code works fine and plays the sound.[code]But then when I load the move into level1 and change the code to the following, it deosn't work.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a flash-based website that has 2 main mcholders and 5 buttons. When I click a button it opens an external SWF in an mc holder. I want to learn 2 codes.
1. If I clicked a button and it is loaded on the MC holder, I don't want the button to be accessible until a new option is in the mcholder.
2. WHen I click another link I want the first swf to fade out before the new one fades in.[URL]
I am having a problem positioning an external swf file within another swf. I need this to appear at an exact location and to do this I have created a new movie component 'holder', made it the exact dimension of the swf I want to import and placed it where I want it to appear. However when I run the following code it appears no where near where I want it to be[code]...

when i was trying to build in the banner images i bumoped into weird problems. At first my cs4 for pc stoppped working everytime so backup to cs3 this also stopped working everytime so i went working through guest account which seems to work ok.ok back to the other problem. on this link you can see the website there is loading an image in the banner by an movieClipLoader this why i can adjust the image size when it's done loading. I want to make everything sizeable. when the site loads for the first time the image won't show, but when refreshing the site, suddenly the image does show.testing this all local works. But online not! so i tried testing local retrieving the images from the web. i got this sandbox error. oke added system.security.allowdomain("*") for the wildcard, really weird cause it's just an image (bitmap) which is called.[code]

1 - I'm using AS2 and know my way around it well
2 - I'm loading an external SWF using MovieclipLoader
3 - The external SWF has a MP3 file in it's library (exported for actionscript) and is attached to a Sound Object.
4 - Running the SWF by itself, everything is fine, but once it's loaded in my main movie, it won't play, no sound,
I am using the MovieClipLoader class to externally load a .swf file with a preloader. The problem is that my .swf starts playnig behind the preloader, before it is completely loaded...
How can I make it paly only after it is 100% loaded?
Here is what I have so far:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadHandler:Object = new Object();
myGlobalSound = new Sound(this);

I have a small problem using MovieClipLoader to load multiple images at the same time. This is the function for loading:
ActionScript Code:
private function loadImage(image:String, container:MovieClip, w:Number, h:Number):Void{
var listener:Object = new Object();
_root.debug.text += "Loading: " + image +"
[code]....
This function is triggered in a for cycle for 4-9 images.The problem is - some of the images don't get fully loaded. It is usually 1 or 2 at most. Some of them don't show at all and some load partially (let's say I see 60% of the image and underneath a gray line). Is there some restriction for multiple connections in Flash? Are the requests made too fast?This problem does not occur in Flash environment, it occurs only online. The listeners execute alright even for the not loaded images. No load error at all.
I can't seem to get a MovieClip loaded using the MovieClipLoader.loadClip method to cancel.I try calling the loader's unloadClip method, but that does not do the trick. Also tried simply using the unloadMovie method on the actual clip instance but that didn't work

View 2 RepliesI created a MovieClipLoader a few days ago that is reuseable. I will be using the same preloader graphics when I am loading in external swf on my stage. My MovieClipLoader functions fine with jpegs and smaller sized swf files. But whenever I load a larger sizes swf it loads the movie before it has fully downloaded in simulation mode. The odd part is that everything works fine with smaller swf files but not larger ones . I have tested a few movies and that seems to be the common theme.
In the example below main.swf is the clip I am loading into "mcBackground".
[Code]...
Does anyone know how to use the Loader method of this class? I want to play a movieclip in the loading position rather than a textbar which increases... All of the examples I've seen so far only show the latter of the two options... I can use loadMovie() and achieve what I want, but the MovieClipLoader class is the future.
View 4 RepliesI'm loading multiple instances of the same jpg dynamically to my swf. It works just fine locally, but when I upload it, it only executes the first loading code it encounters in the timeline. I was doing things fairly complexly with 'for' loops and dynamic name generation and stuff, but I've stripped it down to the basics in an effort to get this to work.
Here's some code:
loadMovie('1.jpg', mc1.empty_mc);
loadMovie('1.jpg', mc2.empty_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip('1.jpg', mc3.empty_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip('1.jpg', mc4.empty_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip('1.jpg', mc5.empty_mc);
as you can see, I'm using two different methods of loading the jpgs, just in an effort to pin down exactly what is going on. Locally, they all load fine. When I upload to the server, only the first instance of the loading code is run (so mc1 will get its jpg, but the rest won't). I've tried to swap the order, place the loading code in different areas, try to load different jpgs into each empty mc, but nothing works except that first instance flash gets to in the timeline.
The swf and jpgs are all in the same folder, both locally and on the server. The server the swf is hosted on is Windows 2003 box if that matters. I tried uploading it to a different windows box and got the same problem.
I'm trying to load a bitmap using this: [URL]. It seems like the preload is working fine. I'm just having trouble loading the bitmap from here. it works without the preloader but I can't figure out what's not making it load when it's done.
Code:
function loadTransBitmap(id){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_img", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
mcl.addListener(preload);
[Code] .....
I noticed after the load is complete, I traced the width for targetMC, which is where the image should be preloaded..and it comes up as 0. So it seems like there's nothing in the holder_img container. But it preloads something so I don't know what the problem is.
Also: 'id' from the function is just the image (images/1.jpg)
Is it posible to make a preloader of a SWF that loads an external JPG?
View 1 RepliesI have a log in page with two buttons "credit" and "browse" . If the user selects "browse" I want the button to start the quiz globally disabled on level0 (the log in page is level1). I think I need to leave the log in page playing on top in an empty frame for this to work. I have tried:
_global._level0._root.quizBtn.enabled = false(); I have tried that script on the button action of the "browse" button.
I have two xmls, xml1 and xml2. Both have same structure, only data are different. Button 1 loads xml1 and button2 loads xml2. Both calls same function to load XML. First i press button1, so xml1 starts loading, but if before xml1 is completely loaded, i press button2, xml2 also starts loading. If for some reason the xml2 loads first i get data from xml2. But when i look at the bandwidth profiler in flash , xml1 is still loading. When xml1 is loaded it will replace data from xml2. SInce i pressed button2 last, i would want data from xml2. So is it possible to stop loading the previous xml when i start loading another xml?

I have 2 flash files,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.I want to load the external SWF to my container SWF.I write this code in my AS2 container, inside the main timeline flash (mine flash).In the first method, I add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
This code works fine in most of the cases, but I found many SWFs files that it dosen't work with. These SWFs and work with the following code instead:
loadMovieNum("external.swf",0);
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
I really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if I use this code the external SWF predominant, my main SWF code and all the rest of my code dosen't work (like the setInterval() timer).... I want to load the SWF like the second example and still run the setInterval() function.
I'm trying to get an interface that will load external MCs that contain timeline control functions in them. Basically these are long "topics" that currently interface through a web content program - I would like to unify them into a single flash-based interface, but the functions that are in the external flash files, such as this:
dwnLine = function () {
totalBytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = getBytesLoaded();[code]......
get pushed to level0 when you load the next MC, instead of just being deleted with the old MC. I've tried creating a function on the root timeline to delete the variable and the specific function names, but its not working, it just fights with the phantom functions endlessly creating/deleting the variables. This is turn screws up the timeline in the new MC that was loaded. Does anyone know why/what Flash is doing here? If I knew the reason it was being pushed up to level0 I could stop it,
on (release) {
loadMovie ("Loader1.swf", "/contentclip");
}
to load the new MCs into a container MC called "contentclip"
I have a website that loads external .swf files using XML. People viewing my website would have to wait a while for my .swf's to load as some are 5mb plus. Is there a bit of script I can use to say start playback of my .swf when it has loaded 50% of the file?

View 6 RepliesI need to load all image thumbnails and some other things ( which are loaded externally with xml) at same time, while displaying the percentage of them. The problem i am having is that flash cant get their totalBytes in start, the total bytes of all of these items is rising while the loading is in progress.So the percentage always goes up and down. To understand better what i am meaning here is the link to the preview ( note that it might have bugs as its still not finished ) : http:[url].....You can see last textfield under fps metter is TotalBytes , and the one above total is loadedBytes.
I tried using GreenSock's PreloadAssetManager ( http:[url].... ) but it takes to much time to START loading, it stays at 0% for more than 5-10 seconds.So i cant use it.The only thing i can think about is putting their size to xml and then istead of using getBytesTotal, ill use the data that i load from xml.. ?
