I using flash 8, actionscript 2.0.I am using this code on a BUTTON in order to load and external swf into an empty movie clip:
on(release){
_root.empty.loadMovie("test.swf");
}
It works fine, however I would like the button to first go to a NEW FRAME within the main timeline of the main movie, before it loads this external swf.
I just watched the AS3 preloader tutorial here, and downloaded the FLA to copy the AS into my project. Here is the AS...
Code: Select allvar l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("splash.swf"));
[Code].....
The preloader works to load the 'splash.swf', but that SWF is a 36 frame long movie, and when it loads from the preloader, it's already at Frame 36, so you never see what was before that frame. How can I get it to load at it's Frame 1?
i've got a problem. i have an external text which loads and displays normally only when that frame is loaded for first time. i'm using getDate because it changes every day. it's peculiar because all of other texts which are external also,always load just fine (first time and every time when return to previously visited frame).
View 6 RepliesI've created transitions betweens two external swfs, which both get loaded when their button is clicked. The problem is the buttons only load the swf once, then they stop working when I click either of them again.Here's the code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// tween the main menu into place upon opening

I have added this code to a button in my flash file. When the viewer presses the button a external .swf file will load. The problem is how do I specify where it loads. For example, when the viewer hits the button the external swf file default loads at 0,0. If I want it to load somewhere else on the page is there a way to make it load at a certain specified location? Here is the code I am using on the button.
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}
Now this works fine and the swf file is loaded correctly but it is always at the top left corner. How can I go about loading it in a specific place on the flash file? Is there a way to create a holder that would make it load in that certain area?
I've just recently started learning actionscript with most of knowledge coming from this site and others like it. My website loads external swfs by clicking a button. In these swfs is dynamic text and a slideshow. It load the text and images from an xml file. As you click around the website the slideshow stops working properly. I'm not really sure why this happening.

I've got this interactive poem I've been working on for a class. I've basically finished each "episode" seperately. I made a parent document which essentially loads one of the ten child documents onto the respective key frame. Here's a sample of the code for the first key frame of the parent document:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, LoadSWF2);
[Code]....
Well Two things are messed up about it, well my "ChildTimeline2" variable will off and on assosciate itslef not with the main time line of a child document, but of a nested symbol inside said child document. Even worse, the "gotoAndStop();" command I will give sometimes applies to Parent document... yaay! but often it will apply to the child document. The end result being this horrible looping moment where you are stuck in one child document for all time.
I wish I could attach the documents but they exceed the 300KB. how I can get Actionscript to listen fro the last frame of the maintimeline of the child document, or tell flash to gotoandStop for the parent document
the best way to do it but i have a preloader the loads an external swf that loads 2 external swf files. one on layer o and the other 1.it seems to load the swf on layer 1 twice.url...if i run the swf that loads the 2 external swf files by it's self and the same problem happens.mouse over the navagation button and then mouse over the close button and follow the animation down to were it turns back into the navagation button. sometimes the close stays up.if i run the swf file that just contains the navagation it dosen't happen.
View 2 Repliesfinishing my portfolio website and i've ran into a tiny problem. All my buttons are all in one layer and the whole website takes 4 frames. Within each frame is a movie clip that holds all the content for that page i.e. images and text.The problem: If I navigate to the projects page and am browsing through the content and I want to reload back to the first frame of the projects page (via the projects page button) then the button doesn't reload, I think this is because the button is a part of the main timeline and not part of the movieclip.The question: What code do I need insert into the button to get it to go to frame one of my movieclip.Here's what simple button code am using atm:
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Main",6);

I have a scroll menu as a ScrollPane component with menu buttons which take the user to a spacific frame lable within an external SWF (which is loaded form a main SWF already) My code for the botton is:
on (release){
_root.badges.gotoAndPlay("executive");
}
badges is the SWF name loaded as external SWF from a main stage (call this main.SWF) where the menu sits as well. "executive" is the frame label I want the timeline of badges.SWF to go to when you click the button, but this does not work?
It was working when I have this on another flash file. I recently had to move this into another flash file its still the same setup as in the other flash file, there is a loader clip and menu on the main timeline of my main.SWF and all it has to do is go to a specific frame label within the loaded external SWF from the main timeline of the main SWF.
Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

View 3 Repliesim trying to play a frame in an external .swf with a button from my main flash file.
View 5 Repliesim working on a banner which have all data included from external text file and styled with css.the code of the banner you can see here:http:[url]....the issue it that my main timeline have 2 frames and the file loops. In this case all works fine , but the on every loop the actionscript loads all the Loaders and data again and again and this cause increasing memory usage (about 1 MB per 2/3 loops) .To fix this I've put a stop(); in the first frame , which fixed the memory leak issue, but now the CSS doesn't load at all - I don't know why. Also I've released that the CSS not loads if the clip have only one frame.

I am having an issue loading and unloading external SWF's. Here is what I'm trying to do:
Frame One Loads external SWF
Code: contentTutorial.loadMovie ("tutorial.swf",1);
Frame Two: Shows data Frame Three: Unloads frame one SWF and loads a new SWF. Code: contentTutorial.unloadMovie("tutorial.swf"); contentProblem3.loadMovie("problem3.swf",0);
This works but the problem I'm having is that when problem3.swf loads it will not play. You see the first frame but no animation.
If I switched SWF files and loaded problem3.swf in frame one and tutorial.swf in frame 3 the animation plays fine for problem3 but hangs for tutorial.
I've tried multiple methods (createEmptyMovieClip, loadMovieNum) of loading/unloading these with all the same outcome.
in the main movie I have a preloader, which loads external swf files.But preloader always loads the first frame of the loading swf.
View 1 RepliesHow do you detect the end of the loaded swf that loads the flv? It never reaches the frame 20, and I think it is due to the loaded flv CamTest.flv file. So how do you find out that the loaded swf really reached the end? How do you find out the end of the loaded flv inside the loaded swf?
On mainline frame 1, I have
loader_mc.loadMovie("CamTest_controller.swf");
On the loader_mc movie clip

View 3 RepliesI have a preloader that loads an external .swf file. Preloader works fine, technically the external .swf loads fine, but the external .swf is scaled up so you can only see about 2/3 of the screen. I made the stage for the preloader the same size as the stage for the external swf. I used the HTML for the swf that gets loaded, and just changed the file name to that of my loader.
View 4 RepliesPlease take a look at the attached folder to make sense of what I am will type now[URL]..Enclosed is a test zip folder called "trouble_test.zip". Inside there is a HTML file called "main". Open it in your browser and follow the steps that I have indicated.
My problem is that all the steps work offline/on local computer when using Firefox, Opera, Chrome and IE but when online then they work inside Chrome and Safari browser only. What I mean is that Step 3 fails inside Opera and Firefox when online. File XL_11.swf does not load into XL(MC) which is inside the main.swf file As it works inside Chrome/IE so I assume it can't be a file path/destination problem. I assume it is the code on my "XL" button that could be the problem, but why does it work in Chrome and Opera online + in all 4 browsers when offline? I am completely lost. Please take a look as it will take only 2 minutes for anyone who understands AS2
I have the movie loader working, but the movies the do not show the correct proportions. The individual swfs are the correct size but the movie loader in the main index displays them scrunched in vertically. I'm told you have to tell the movie to the correct proportions after it is loaded.If you look at the attached photos, you will see that the info displayed will not span across th entire vertical space How do I fix this/code it correctly?
Here is my code thus far:
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number =1050;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
