ActionScript 1/2 :: Using LoadMovie To Load Swf Fails?
Jan 23, 2010
I''m currently working on a school project, but I'm having issues with getting the flash loaded with loadMovie. I've read on several forums how to use the command, If I use the command, it loads the flash file. But all variables are undefined and the movieclip in which I loaded the swf file also remains empty.
I've tested the situation with a random jpg and this works.
I'm getting kinda desperate, since I've first tried to use scenes without succes..
I have a menu which is a external Swf, It consists of 6 swf files.These menu's are loaded dynamically containing info from XML.When you click on of one the 6 buttons I want to use loadMovie to load'one of the swf files specified on the button' into a container called 'Scroller'.The idea is that it replaces the loaded swf with another one when you click another button.I gave everything instance names including the scroller.When i test the movie It does load when i click on button1.When i click on button 1 again, it even loads again.If I Click on button 2 (or 3,4,5,6) after i clicked on 1 it replaces the first swf.But after that nothing else works. When i click on one of the other buttonsthe trace doesn't even come up.
I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.
I am using an external preloader to load up my main SWF from the same directory that the preloader is loading from. This is my custom class that I used based off of the adobe docs example for using Loader objects.I implemented a maxRetries variable as you can see, but how on earth do I make use of it and where do I perform the retries?Do I detect the Http status code and perform a retry based on whether it was a 200 or 0, or do a I do it in the IOError or what?
I have a site that loads XML content data into a movieclip right away. When the user clicks a button, that movieclip is removed and replaced with another. When the user clicks a back button, the XML is loaded into the movieclip once again. The trouble I'm having is when I upload the files to server, the XML will not load a second time either by refreshing the browser, navigating away from the page and going back or going back from within the flash file itself.
I'm currently trying to make a fun little SWF that lets the user input the URL of an image online, then play around with that image via filters, painting, etc, and save their finished work to disk. However, I'm running into some issues once I upload the SWF online. My SWF works without any problems at all from the Flash sandbox, but once online there seems to be a problem.To overcome the issue of not being allowed to smooth an image loaded from an external source, I am using a URLLoader with dataFormat set to BINARY to load the image. Then I have a regular Loader loadBytes from the loaded data of the URLLoader. This allows me to apply smoothing and chang ethe bitmapData of the loaded image.
This works for a select amount of images online. The problem here is that for most images, the URLLoader never finishes loading, nor does it produce an error. It doesn't even produce a ProgressEvent. The .load method of the URLLoader executes with error.
Swf loads fine in all browsers. In any browser but IE 6+, navigating away then back using history/the back button causes the page and swf to reload fine.
With ie however, the swf fails to (re)load without throwing an error.
I am exporting an SWC via Flash Professional CS5 version 11.0.0.485 with the latest Flex Component Kit (2.0.0) installed in the Extension Manager. In Symbol properties, I'm Exporting for Actionscript in Frame 1 with the Class name equal to the Symbol name.
I've imported the SWC into Flash Builder 4.6 with all the different available SDKs.
With all of them I get an error in Design Mode
"SWC File Failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC will not be displayed in the design mode."
If I instantiate the component via the Source it runs ok and in the browser I see the component.
I know I could just say "whatever, I don't need Design mode" but I'd like to know what is happening.
Below is the script I'm using to pass a parameter to a script in the same server (and folder) as the flash file. It gives "null" as the required variable (use_url) value, instead of what the script is giving. The script itself works, when tested in a browser.
What it should do - it receives a value for "lesson_id" variable, passes it on to a script "movie_url" and receives a response with a new variable "real_url" and it's value.[code]...
I have this Simple Flash banner, that loads text, colors, and entire banner hyperlink from external .txt file into flash.For importing text into dynamic text fields with �vars� set i use
Ok So everything works nicely. I load flash i load text, and i also load hyperlink. So after a happy job i went to sleep and other morning i tried to enter website with HTML code, that shows flash and i noticed:
1. Some times flash loads animation, but doesn't load my data.txt and places where dynamic text should be are blank, also hyperlink doesnt work, because it also seems to fail to load.
2. So i press "Refresh" on explorer and data loads perfectly.
3. So i keep pressing refresh some times try to turn of explorer and i noriced that some times it fails to load data and only non dynamic flash animation is played, and some times it loads it nicely.
I have created an SWF that loads an XML file from [URL], but I get this error when running the movie using Test Movie in the Flash IDE.
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://localhost/flash/Projects/MEL/Quiz/Quiz/bin/xml/quiz.xml at Main/loadConfig()[D:wwwwebrootflashProjectsMELQuizQuizsrcMain.as:126] at Main/configLoadError()[D:wwwwebrootflashProjectsMELQuizQuizsrcMain.as:143]
[Code].....
Trouble is running the SWF in a browser locally does work, it only throws these errors in the Flash IDE.
I have tried a adding wildcard crossdomain.xml file in my root web directory and setting the SWF publish properties for local playback security to Allow network only, but neither of these have solved my problem.
I know Windows 7 handles localhost name resolution differently compared to previous versions of Windows but I have even added 127.0.0.1 localhost to my hosts file to no avail.
I have a Button that when clicked loads a Flex module in my AIR application. However,occasionally the Module fails to load the first time the button is clicked, but it works the second time it's clicked. When I debug it in the debugger the READY event is not fired so the remaining logic is never called.
var moduleInfo:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(managedModule.url); moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, function(event:ModuleEvent):void { trace("ModuleEvent.READY called.");
This is my first time ever constructing a web site ONLY using Flash 8. I normally just use elements here and there, and I am totally confused. The link to the project is here: [URL] I want the site to be set up so that when I click a button (at the bottom), an external .swf file loads into that gray box in the center. How do I start? Where do I start? I should be able to figure this out, but I am stuck.
I need to create a button with script, on rollover load an external swf into movieclip in AS3. This was able to create this in AS2, but I need to create this in AS3
Trying to load swfs with loadmovie script. They load fine but when close window button is pressed the Main movie behind it dissappears to blank screen.
When I try to use loadMovie, it will not load to an instance (unless it's something that's in the same directory). I figured this was some sort of security thing, but I was able to load the movie into _root just fine.
I'm using loadMovie to load a jpg into my movie. When I do, I can't see any of the stuff that was in the movie before (even though it's not in the container MC) Is this a known thing? How can I fix it?
I defined var image which I use for URL to loading content of XML file. I dont how can I define it to have var image outside of XML_images.onLoad because this woks:
Code: var XML_images:XML = new XML(); XML_images.ignoreWhite = true; XML_images.load("xml/castillo_images.xml");

is it possible to loas as3 swfs with loadMovie into as2 swf and keep them working? i have a whole as2 swf website and i want to embedd an as3 flv player....
I will start by explaining where I am in terms of movie clip nesting. home2.swf (loadMovie---->)contact.swf
Now on the last frame of contact.swf, I am trying to call another loadMovie to load contact2.swf, except that it is not working. It simply ignores the loadMovie and the stop() following it and replays the timeline.
My code on the last frame is loadMovie("contact2.swf","c2hold"); stop();
Just to clarify contact.swf has no other code anywhere before this last frame, only tween animation. c2hold is the instant name of the movie clip holder I have in place.
I am working with Flash MX. I am creating a site with a Main.fla which contains buttons to load other SubPage.swf files. For example, I have a Page1 button with the following actionscript code.
on (release) { _root.contents.loadMovie("page1.swf"); }
It works fine. Now when I work on the Page1.fla, I am trying to load other Movies in the same fashion. It works when I CMD+RETURN to generate the .swf file. However when I CMD+RETURN the Main.fla file and load the Page1 file, the buttons won't load the movies. Is this a Target Path issue? How would I remedy this?
I load 2 movies at the same time using loadmovie() function onto 2 different locations on the flash page. i would like to know if i can have a button in the second movie that can control, lets say play, the first movie when this button is released.
I have a color problem when loading a movie clip. I have a root animation with white background including a movieclip. I have to load clips using loadMovie into that movieclip. When I load those movies, who have different background colors, the loaded movie's background color is completely ingored so I always have the white background.
I've tried to find the original background color of the movie I load but no success. Did someone can help me with this problem ?
