ActionScript 2.0 :: External SWF's 'Only Load Once, And Does Not Reload Second Time'
Jun 21, 2006
[URL] And it works but i can only get the swf's to load one time, and if i load another swf via a button i can not load the previous swf again...now i do no it is because i am using MC buttons cause i have try'd both methods and the other way works.. Here is my AS on my buttons
this.onRelease=function(){
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "resume";
On the new site we are working on, it has Flash and HTML. The problem is when you click on the navigation buttons(which are flash) they should load a new external movie and open the new HTML page at the top. When you publish the file and click on the buttons, the HTML page loads, but flash seems to reload and play the same external movie the whole time. Here is the code I used:
I am new here and i am desperate to have my problem solved please. I have an html page with 2 swf movies that should be playing at the same time (one shows logo of a company and the other shows at the same time the company's products). the problem is althought they are synchronized when played on my pc, when loading via internet they doen't play at same time because one is much bigger than the other and takes more time to load and play. so i thought of making a dummy swf movie that loads both swf movies and make them play at same time.
I have a movie acting as a container for a series of external swf's that I intend to load in sequence.My problem is, how to load a swf for a set period of time so that that it may play out its sequence then load the next external swf; again for a set period of time before the next load and so on.......?
I am currently working on a flash project that need load and play 5 different external Flvs @ the same time. the flv files are between 2MB to 36MB. I am using AS to dynamic load them into the main SWF. it works locally on my laptop but when I upload everything on to JustHost, only the smallest one shows and start to play.
I've really struggling to understand where to go next I have a file called data.as which contains a URL with a unquire id on for example index.php?id=6957 however depending on which computer the exe projector will be running on the id will be changed in the data file alone.
However when i generate the exe projector it caches the url and wont recheck for any changes in the url.
This is the AS i currnelty have, What i would like it to do is reload the the include data.as everytime it goes to this frame with the below on.
I have a navigation menu set up using standard jquery to load new body text and play a swf. There are about 10 links, each having there own body text and swf file. The swf's simply play, then stop after about 30 frames. When clicking through each menu item, a new swf plays and body text appears. I've been running into a problem lately with IE not reloading a swf. Instead it stops on the last frame of the swf and appears as an image. I was told to try using the external interface so jquery can force it to reload. I've never used the external interface before though, how to do this?
I'm working on my website and I have one main swf file with the loader, and other four swf. files with home, about, contact and work.This is the code for the main one
Code: var holdercontent:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); holdercontent.x = 0
I have been trying to figure out the best way to load content into a container on an .php page which has three different .swfs already loaded - one is an mp3 player which I do not want to stop playing (this will obviously happen on a page refresh). The objective is to keep a flash menu for navigation given it's nice animation capabilities, but load page content into a container underneath. There are JavaScript files out there that work in conjunction with php (ajax) to accomplish this, but once I throw flash into the mix everything goes sideways. I know you can include js with the ExternalInterface.call function, but this only solves the js portion not the php bit.
I have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc, //resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter onClipEvent(load) { var maxWidth = 150;
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
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:
How do you load external library objects from an external swf? I want to have an external swf that only contains library objects that are exported for Actionscript, and load these from the master .swf file dynamically during the master swf execution. (I may have multiple external swf resource files)I want to be able to load the external swf, and then access it's library objects via actionscript in my main swf file.
as3 is new for me, but i would like to write a script using loader to load an external swf, and control the external swf. But I find I can't control the swf, because there are no fixed instance name. here is my script.
When i try to load an external swf file using Loader.Load(); The swf starts playing even before the init event is fired. Is there any way to stop the swf from playing atleast until the init event or complete event is fired?
I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); vc.connect(null); var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);
I've got a small (more than 100 hours of thinkwork up till now!) problem I can't seem to solve:
I want to populate an external loaded swf with an dynamicly loaded xml fil (loaded from my config.xml).
[Code].....
how do I get the external xml into the external swf as a variable for the actionscript in the external loaded swf (So I just want to put the path in the script in my external swf...).
I'm starting to get an understanding of how all of this works, but it's all to new to me at the moment, so I'm sure I've approached it from the wrong angle.
this works right on its own but when using addchild in main.swf the menu loads the button events work, even click but it will not load the associated file. If i place the menu code in the main.swf it loads all required files. QUESTION How do reference menu.swf when loaded as an external swf?
I have a "about.swf" file that loads a CSS file and formats some dynamic HTML text. On its own, it works fine...but when it gets loaded into my "Main.swf", it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a bug that doesn't let you load CSS with external .swf's?My style sheet and index file holding the "Main.swf" are all on the root level of my site. The "Main.swf" has a "holder_mc" clip that I load the "about.swf" into which has the CSS formatting. When loaded into "Main.swf", it doesn't work.
I'm sure this question has been answered but I have been looking everywhere and all I can find is how to load an external SWF but not how to unload it. I come from a basic knowledge of AS2 and it was easy for me to load using levels but I have run into a wall. I have a main swf and to keep the initial filesize small I would like to split some image intensive sections out and load them when needed.
I have problems in running a projector under win 7. My projector load several SWF and each of them load different external MP3 that plays during the show.Under Win 7 sometimes the sound (Mp3) stops.
i have a scen named preload, and i want it to load an external .swf, but once it's done doing so to move on to frame two so far i have
[Code]...
and this doesn't work, i think my problem is the "if(this.getBytesLoaded()" but i am not sure how to identify if the movie is loaded, maybe with true and false? but i am not sure how i would do that,
Does anyone know of a way to track the load time of an XML document? I have an xml document that has over 150,000 lines and it takes a little time to load. I am ok with the load time in general however I would like to create a preloader to tack its process.
I have tried putting the xml load/onLoad code in a movie clip and use getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded to track the mc progress but it seems as though when that mc is loaded the application freezes until the xml is fully loaded.
