I was trying to set up a loop which checks to see if all files are available from an array before loading them in. I have got it working to a point where it traces out file is loaded or not but I cant seem to trace out which actual file name is missing eg. myfile1.swf is missing.

I am trying to make a quiz work online. At the moment pupils can start playing before all the questions are loaded and it mucks it up. I tried putting a 'loading question' frame in. In this I put a movie clip with only made a continue button appear after 30 seconds. But this is not practical as all servers take a different time to load. I know I need to put in a loop but am having problems and would be grateful for help.
I have the questions saved as 15 notepad files in a folder. The folder is named Women. When they choose this topic they press a button with this code.

I'm using Kirupa's "search array" to check wether something is loaded. It "works" however it doesn't stop if daft = 1, so it keeps checking and gives its final answer as 0 if I can't escape from the for loop I don't know

I'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?
View 9 RepliesI was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

There are a number of parameters that can be added to object and embed tags to embed flash videos. Most are listed here. Some of them can be accessed/changed programmatically via ActionScript (e.g. <param name="scale"> can be accessed via stage.scaleMode).
Can the value for the loop parameter be accessed/changed?
Edit to add: I know about flashvars, that's not what I'm asking.
I have a frame that plays and checks and prints the width of a movieclip, but the movieclip is constantly changing size, so I would like the textfield to show the movieclip width as is scales. I would assume I need to create a method of looping the code that checks the width, maybe a setinterval?
Code:
ypos.text = (this.rulerslave.picture_mc._width);
xpos.text = ("1");

In my game there appear scores when you shoot down enemies. That kinda works so far but they overlap when the enemies were too close to each other when shot down.Now what I'd like to do is to prevent the overlapping of the scores. The basic idea I had was to loop through the array of scores and to check the distance to each other.
Code:
private function checkScoreDistance():void
{
scoreManager.scoreCount = scoreManager.scores.length;[code]........
I'm building an swf that's suppose to work locally (offline).That swf is like a menu for some other swf that the user will download and will be prompted to put them in the same folder of the main swf.What I want to do is the main swf to be able to recognise which swf the user have downloaded in order to show them 'available' on main menu.Is there a way to check the folder destination for swf files or something?
View 4 RepliesI have created a video pre-loader, but the problem with it is that once you download and view a file, if you want to see it again, you have to download it again. I was hoping that there was a method for checking whether the file exists in cache, before it is downloaded again. If it does exist in cache, I would like Flash to re-play the cached file, instead of downloading it again.

View 3 RepliesI an running a website in flash and whenever the user comes onto the page, if he clicks a button before the SWF has loaded the file acts strange sending them to the wrong page. I am almost certain that the solution to this would be to halt my actionscript until the entire file has loaded in the browser.

I am building a website in which the nav bar has an animation on the "home" frame and not on the others. It works all nice until I come back to "home" and then my nav bar bugs. So I am thinking the best way to "refresh" the nav bar would be to removeChild(); and then add it again... but then when I go to the other frames (pages) it disappears. If I run addChild(); to every pages.. then it duplicates it and becomes buggy. Is there a way to run an if() function that would check if the nav bar is already there and addChild only if it is not there?

View 2 RepliesI'm loading an external .swf via typing the swf name into an input text field and hitting a submit button.
The swf loads fine, but I'm trying to incorporate updating a status text field on a successful load or if there is an error during loading.
I can't find my mistake in the code - to me it should be making load_status_txt display "ok", but the swf just loads with no status update. All the text fileds are fine, because if I code load_status_txt.text = "hello" straight after addChild(loader); - load_status_txt displays "hello"[code]...
I wonder if there is any way (in AS3) for checking whether the text is loaded into dynamic text field (from the external file).

Is there a way to check if a movie clip has already been loaded, and then skip it if it has? Attached is my swf. The front info text should only fade away once, not every time someone clicks on a button. Once they're already in a gallery, it shouldn't come up again.
