ActionScript 2.0 :: CS4 : Get An External Swf To Load And POSITION In Main File?
Apr 14, 2010
I'm trying to get a swf file to play in a main swf file. I can get it to play, but it always appears in the top left corner. I've tried several different methods to position it but every one of them either doesn't work or won't play the file.Here's what I'm using right now.
Actionscript Code:
stop();loadMovieNum("circles.swf", 1);var xset = 381;var yset = 179;
The swf plays just fine, but it won't take the coordinates.I also need to get it to stop when I go back and the command
Actionscript Code:
unloadMovieNum(circles.swf);
doesn't work.A tutor in my class showed me a method to place the swf into a box on the main stage without doing a lot of scripting, just putting in some file-name and size/position references, but he's not available right now to ask how he got that started.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

I load external swf file into main movie. and i give that child a name page0 there is a bit of code.
[Code]....
so after its loaded i want to insert some text into external swf using main movie. i managed to remove external swf, like this ActionScript Code: holder_mc0.removeChild(holder_mc0.getChildByName("pages0")); but i wonder how to insert text into that swf. i don't understand how hierarchy works, when you addChild, what name should i use for my external files. for example ActionScript Code: holder_mc0. ?????? .mainTemplate.tContent.text = "TEXT"

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 Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I'm creating a flash 3d website for a company. The idea is that there is one overall swf file - this holds the navigation and design. Once the user clicks on a button, it goes to frame 10, I have included the following script to load a swf file
loadMovie("deepbartesting.swf", maincontent);
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(movieClipName._currentframe==5){
[Code]....
the preloader works, but instead of going to frame 2 of that swf file, it goes to frame 2 of the overall swf that holds the navigation. Does anyone know how to get around this so that it goes to frame 2 in the same swf file as the preloader?

I'm using the following code to load an external SWF into my main SWF. The code is called inside of a button function. The code works TOO well. The external SWF loads multiple times on top of each other.
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();ldr.load(new URLRequest("portfolio.swf"));
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded, false, 0, true);function onLoaded(evt:Event):void { addChild(evt.target.content); evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);}
To see the mess go to:[URL] hit the "web" button.

i'm trying to load external swf in my main swf. when I click first time in first frame on object(movieClip) which has event handler gotoJob, the jobfair.swf will load and it works. But I have on the stage in first frame also another objects - movieClips. If I click on some movieclip, than it means to go to nextFrame. But when I return to first frame, where is also object with click handler gotoJob and I click on it, it does not load the swf.
Code:
function gotoJob(evt:Event):void{
var requestSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("jobfair.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

In the current flash project im working on I load an external .swf into the main .swf, the external .swf contains sound loops and movieclips which they are attached to. In the main .swf there are buttons which trigger the sounds to stop and start.the problem im having is that the sounds wont play when the button is pressed, when everything is in one file it all works fine, so i believe the problem is to do with the reference to the external file.

I am using preloader from the main swf file to load other swf file, if i use a preloader inside my other swf file then it wont show so sorting that problem I am referencing this nice material on preloaders [] I have sorted the preloader problem by calling the preloader from the main swf file and hiding the other swf file till its fully downloaded. but now the problem is I have got no functionality from that swf file, i mean i have got that mouse effect in the other swf file that where ever you move the mouse in the screen the showreel adjusts itself but its static now.
I have got this container mc in my main swf file, and i am using the other swf file by clicking the button, the swf file loads in the container mc after showing the preloader but its kind a static.

The main site (index.swf) had an image slideshow style gallery displayed prominently across the entire site - i.e it never changed while the rest of the site did. That is gone, but in its place is an external .swf (video.swf) which is a video player to stream flv video via php. convoluted, no?
Now, I got the php streaming player from FlashGuru [URL] and it works beautifully. I added in a button for full screen toggle, and that was a cinch - two lines of AS and editing the html and I was done. I tested it as a standalone swf file, and it streams wonderfully, goes full screen with ease...perfect more or less. See it at [URL]
Then I load the video.swf movie into the index.swf movie, and when I click the full screen button, the main root (index.swf) goes full screen. The problem is that I want only the video (video.swf) to go full screen - without reloading or restarting the streaming video.
I currently have the files up at [URL] to see the swf files in action; would post the .fla files here but since the template was purchased I can't post it, and the video player is basically stock other than the full screen switch. What the heck, I'll post it here just in case...
{also, a side note; I do plan on having multiple videos to load - I currently plan to use different .swf files for each one, but if I could just pass a variable from the main (index.swf) to the other (video.swf), it would save a bit of HD space on my server.

I am trying to load external swf files in a main movie.I have created 3 different movies. Main movie is named "Container". Another 2 movies are named "movie1.swf" and "movie2.swf".Main movie "Container" is having some navigation buttons and template sort of thing in it. On the lowest layer in main movie I have created an empty movie clip in which I am trying to load "movie1.swf".Now problem is when I load "movie1.swf" instead of loading the external movie in target mc, it clears all the contents in main movie.

I am building a flash site and I am trying to load all of my swf file into one (final) fla file. This is the code for loading one of them in:
// ActionScript 3.0
stop();
var movie1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mainpage.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader()
ldr.load(movie1);
addChild(ldr);
So this mainpage.swf file has a button with instance name of btnContact which I would like to add an event Listerner to it here in the (final fla) so when I click it, it jumps to the frame "one" on the final timeframe.
So basically, controling the main timeframe though using a button on an external swf file.

I wanna know if it is possible to load an SWF file, from a main swf file, but OUTSIDE of it. What I mean to say is, to open it as it was a completely different thing.. like, for example, when you click a link of a video on a website and it automatically brings up your windows media player.. i dont wanna load the swf inside the main swf, I want another flash player to pop-up and play it separately..
