I'm looking for the best method to communicate different swfs embedded in the same html. It would be a simple interaction like passing variables from one to the other.
View 1 RepliesOkay so i heard it was possible but im not sure.
Example: i have 1 main swf containing everything. inside that swf i load 1.swf
can 1.swf share the same vars and everything as the main swf? such as.. if i click a button in 1.swf, then something will happen in my main movie.
I want to communicate between a embeded swf and the main swf. I want my main swf to tell the embeded swf to do something like gotoandplay(3)Main.swf loads Sub.swf into a empty movie clip called imageArea._mc.Is it possible to have the main swf tell my sub to do something?[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a main swf(parent) and a sub swf(child) that I have loaded into the parent swf. I am trying to make a button in the child swf effect the parent swf. I mainly want the child swf to communicate with the parent and tell it to make a movie clip visible and start to play.
View 5 RepliesI'm using a wordpress theme, and making a flash banner which contains thumbnails that preview different 'projects', i.e. sets of images.
These thumnails will act as buttons. I want the thumbnail to load a generic php page (i.e. the skeleton stays the same for each project) which contains an swf movie which loads content based on the thumbnail clicked.
Here's an image to help illustrate:
Can I use loadVars to send variables from swf > php > swf?
So if I have several external swfs embedded in one big one, in what way can I communicate between them?Specifically,
-the main swf needs to know when buttons have been pressed in an embedded one, and it needs to tell all the other embedded ones about it.
-the embedded swfs need to intelligently resize and shuffle around each other, while keeping their coordinate origins in the top corner.How do I go about this?
How to make one swf make another swf play on the timeline, both swf on the same page. I need it so when I rollover the first swf it begins to play the timeline but as soon as I roll over that swf, it causes another swf on the webpage to play its timeline as well.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading movies into my parent movie, and i was wondering if it was possible to communicate between the two - so i could swap out other external SWFs (in the parent) based on input in the loaded movie.I'm still relatively new to Action Script, and have been learning quick, but i have been unsuccessful in my attempts so far.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create an fla file which will load and play an flv file. Once the flv reaches the end I then need it to load in another flv file which will then loop continuosly thereafter.
I have found some AS3 code to do this but I need it in AS2 as i also need to get the file to communicate with an audio player file.
Ultimately I need to have the video file hold on loading and then start playing once the audio player has loaded and started playing.
video loading/playing/looping and/or the communication between 2 swf files to trigger the video playing
i have seen this done where a flash file knows what page it's on by some piece of code on the html page. It could have been php or java i don't know but i would like to know how to do that. That way i create one flash nav bar and it can tell what page it's on so i can make it so you can't click the page your on.Let say i have three pages Home, About us and Contact us and build a flash navigation for it. Some where in the HTML documents there is a code that tells flash what page it is. Flash reads this info and knows "oh i am on the Home page" or "i'm on the Contact us page" and will respond accordingly.
View 2 RepliesI'm setting up an HTML page that automatically starts playing a flash video. Well at the bottom of that page - is an area with testimonials thumbnails that the user can click on loading up a small flash video in that component. Is there a way to tell the main video to pause or restart or whatever so that I don't have two videos playing at once

View 1 RepliesMy client wants a silly intro page where, onClick, doors to a warehouse open into the warehouse itself (redirect into the website). I created a 1920 x 1174 SWF that does just so. It can be seen here. As you will notice, the backdrop of the warehouse and sky are included in the SWF. Just a minor question: is there a better way to do that? One thought was to crop the sky out of the SWF and make the animation smaller so it could be centered with CSS on the intro page. Then make the background-image the sky.
My big problem is the resizing. My (possibly ignorant) assumption is that if I make the SWF really large, it can be scaled down for different resolutions and the aspect ratio kept. I have tried both of the suggestions at www aleosoft com/flashtutorial_autofit.html and they wildly distort my SWF (which can be seen here). Is this because of my publishing settings?

I'm trying to post multiple .swf objects into one html page. The first .swf object plays fine, but the second one does not load. My page is [URL]
Dreamweaver tells me that swfobject.registerObject does not exist, or something like that, but I see this code being used elsewhere. I have swfobject.js in my main folder, too.
I've noticed a problem I've been having when embedding my 620x460 SWF in HTML. I set width to 620 and height to 460, just like my SWF... But parts of the SWF doesn't fit into the HTML element. I have to add a an extra pixel or two on each side (of the HTML element), for everything to fit.
View 2 RepliesFlash ads that can expand over the HTML content? I want to find out how to do that. An example can be seen here: [URL]
Its the one with the Sherlock Homes, when you click on "click to expand" it expands into a bigger size and goes over the HTML content.
I have 2 different swfs (movie1.swf and movie2.swf) in a HTML.... When the movie2.swf finish playing (at the end there is a stop() )...... I would like to push a button replay to the movie.swf and play the movie2.swf from the beginning.....
View 1 RepliesThe site referenced can be found [URL] I need to embed multiple .swf files into an html file. I
prefer using swfObject. Here's what the code looks like now:
<!-- l4dt_header.swf start -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.menu = "false";
[Code] .....
What happens is one of the embededd swfs ends up overriding the other. I also need the rotating movie clip to pulse, on and off, and bright lime green. I'm aware of the glow filter in actionscript 3,
filters = [new GlowFilter(0x5d7c00,1,6,6,2,3)];,
but how would I get it to pulse?
Then if you go to the site [URL] you'll see a green cloud as that is part of the swf. I want to create the same toxic warning symbol that is rotating in the center, but much smaller, and multiple instances of it, flashing in and out at random locations in the green cloud. Then I'll be creating a Flash App where a user can can layered "posters". Is this code sufficient for allowing the user to be able to move those individual layers in perspective to the whole
App?
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void{
MC.startDrag();
});
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void{
MC.stopDrag();});

View 21 RepliesLooking for thoughts and ideas on establishing communication between isolated SWFs residing in a single HTML page. Need to place multiple SWFs in a single HTML page and was wondering if there was some way to send commands from one of the movies to the other wihtout reloading the page. (would prefer not to reload the page and all the components and have the page "blink" - go blank before loading new and cached data) Unfortunately cannot build this as a single flash object with multiple MCs.. must be multiple SWFs.
Have an idea or two on how to set this up with HTML framesets and loading subpages ( a cheat certainly and far less than elegant) but would prefer not to deal with the heartache that would entail - especially since areas of the page would still "blink" on loading.
I have a html page with a flash element. The flash element loads in an external swf. This works fine when I'm testing from the swf, but when I test from my HTML page the external swf doesn't seem to load into my main swf.
I have all my swf's in a folder called "swf". The HTML document is at the root level. In my main swf the actionscript for loading the external swf is:
[Code].....
Some how the path to the external swf gets lost. I've tried new URLRequest("soundComponent.swf"); as well. And like I said, this all works from the swf, just not when viewing from an HTML page.
I am aware that I can share simple Objects using LocalConnection, but this does not (in my limited testing) appear to work with NetConnection or NetStream.
In short, I wish to have a single SWF that acts as a NetConnection proxy for other SWF files in the HTML page. The client SWFs require direct access to NetStream objects on the proxys NetConnection.
Is this at all feasible, or will each client SWF require its own NetConnection?
I am aware that I could build the entire application in flash and utilize a single NetConnection internally, but this is NOT what I want to do.
Anyone know how I can go about doing this:
I want to create a sort of slide show with several SWFs and 1 html page. The SWF itself has FORWARD and BACK buttons (its a long story, but I can't just have FORWARD and BACK coded in the html), and upon hitting them, i would like the SWF to call another SWF to replace itself. (again another long story, but each SWF has a low size maximum, which is why I just cant make the entire thing one large SWF).
Annnnd, to make it all smooth and easy, I would like the forward and back buttons to be coded not with the specific SWF that they are calling, but rather with a function which will determine which SWF is currently displayed and then call the appropriate next or previous SWF from an array or list....
So I have swf9.swf swf10.0.swf and swf10.1 for fp 9.0, 10, 10.1. How to write such JS that would push difrent swfs to user? (I would like to keep using my default flex builder html swfobject.js script if possible - how to using it create code in main html file. )
View 1 RepliesI have two SWFs on an HTML page. One loads fine and the other (loaded externally) apparently fails.
I get this from the server:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
I get this when testing it locally in Safari:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I don't really understand where the hick-up is... because my paths are actually quite simple. All my flash files on the website are located in the same folder. The first one loads in fine, but the one being loaded into it does not. When viewing the SWF by itself, everything checks out as well.
I have a Master.swf which loads in a game, lets call it A.swf. Once the game is finished, Master.swf then loads the home page, lets call it B.swf. I have this working.
I have a progress chart in my home page which tracks the user's progress in the game (like number of successful attempts, number of items collected etc etc). If a user completes the game, and the home page is loaded, then how do I get the newly updated info to display in the home page?
I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf
View 3 RepliesI am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
[Code]...
Im working on a project wherein I have the main fla tied to a document class entitled MyContent. The main fla consists of buttons and textfields, etc. External swfs are loaded when the buttons are pressed. My question is what code would I have to include in one of the external swfs to allow it to be able to change the content of one of the textfields, which was assigned dynamically in the MyContent class? The code within the MyContent class consists of a dynamic text field on the stage named longDesc and a string named long1. ex:
Code: longDesc.htmlText=long1; In the external swfs I have images that are enlarged on a click event and would like to be able to have the textfield in the MyContent classed changed as each image is selected through code in the external swf.
