ActionScript 2.0 :: External SWF - Controlling Main Timeline
Mar 21, 2009
I'm having a bit of time getting this to work.
Setup like this: Main mov:
Nav1 is clicked and loads in external swf. In the swf that was just loaded there is button to call another external swf on the main movie's timeline. I'm trying make a "lightbox" effect. Where you click on the external swf and the screen darkens and a swf is loaded on top of it. Above the loaded swf. Of course on a new layer.
PHP Code:
This is handling the swfs that get loaded in
EXTERNAL SWF LOADER
_root.page_mc.preloader_mc._visible = false;
_root.page_mc.preloaderText_txt._visible = false;
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
[Code] .....

So basically I have two swfs, main.swf and level.swf.. main.swf simply has two frames, first one has the code below to load level.swf and the second frame has some text in it, it's labelled "theend".
Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("level.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
level.swf is more complicated, it's a little game and blah blah, but the thing is that I have a button (cnt_btn) in the last frame. I'd like this button to go to the second frame ("theend") of the main timeline.

How would one on a specific frame inside a movie clip cause the main timeline to go to a certain frame label?
I know how to use gotoandstop(), but i can't seem to find a working, correct syntax variable that accesses the main timeline and not the movie clip's timeline.

I'm in the process of designing this site as a portfolio for my art and am in the process of creating and laying out the galleries. My idea was to create movie clip animated buttons that would react to the roll over stuff. I got that part to work the way I wanted it. But now, I can't seem to figure out how to put a "Gotoandplay" type of code on the buttons so that the timeline would jump to the appropriate frame and play. (I put an "on(release) gotoandplay" on it the way I would put it on a button but it never responds. I have a couple of buttons that work fine with a "geturl". so I thought a "gotoandplay" would work fine. If this can be figured out in a way that I can easily use it for all buttons with just the frame number needing alteration, that would be best. After you click the splashpage door jpg, there will be a piece of paper on the floor. That is a button which should trigger the animation that starts at frame 114. When clicked, the page lifts up and spread open to two pages. But it never reacts

This code is currently contained within my "mc_1" movieclip. I want to be able to have this code on my main timeline, however no matter what I try I constantly get errors, multiple different versions. I've tried adding mc_1 infront of everything, but that just gives an output error about a Sprite.Also, I'm currently using visible to control whether the back image to the textbox should show - What I'd really like to do is control it using a child, but they're movieclips not buttons, so when I try to addChild within the function it errors saying I'm trying to control a movieclip within a simplebutton function.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
mc_textbox.visible = false;

I am building a website in as3. As of now this is what I have. My main file has a button on it and builds a movieclip to hold loaded movieclips.
The file runs and loads about.swf into the main file. When the button is pressed it tells about.swf to play the exit animation.
All of that is working. What I want to happen now is once the exit animation finishes I want the about.swf file to tell the main timeline to load a new movie.
I can control loaded movieclips from the main timeline I just do not know how to control the main timeline from loaded movieclips.

So I have been trying to figure out a way to control multiple clips using the same "on press" & "on release" statements located on 1st frame of main timeline. A variable is being set to a value that correlates to the name of each movie clip as an interaction occurs.Ex: user clicks from a selection of buttons & depending on the button clicked it sets clipNum = "1" through "21".What I want is to have something like the following code that will give the user the ability to click and drag the clip with code on the main timeline similar to the following:
_root["drag_" + clipNum].onPress = function () {
startDrag (_root["drag_" + clipNum]);
};

My main flash file is setup with a scroll pane component. The scroll pane is loading an external swf. This external swf has a button that when pressed I want to load another external swf into the scroll pane in the main flash file. How do I make the button functional? Is it using sprites? If so, could someone direct me to a tutorial?

At the moment I am working on a flash website. There is a main swf with the menu, which loads external swfs as subpages. These external swfs contain some html text. Now I want to have a link inside this html text to another subpage.
[Code]....
But this doesn´t work. It seems "page_2" or "page_3" gets never dispatched.

Just wondering how to control the timeline of an external swf loaded into the root of your main timeline, from within nested movieclips on your main timeline?I can successfully control it once it's loaded from within the function that assigns the external swf a MovieClip var, but I want to control it from deeper in my main swf.1. I've loaded an external swf into the root of my main swf.2. After loading, I assign the external swf a MovieClip var, and then set up a button to control the timeline of the external swf:
function dataOnLoad(evt:Event): void {
var myClip:MovieClip = evt.target.content;
function updateSwf(evt:MouseEvent): void{

I have been going crazy all weekend trying to figure this out. All I want to do is communicate with the main timeline from a loaded external swf. So, I have loaded a external swf called "test.swf" from the main swf called "basetest.swf"So, on basetest.swf I have this code, simply loading test.swf:
var request2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request2);

I'm definitely more designer than flash developer (as most of you might know. At least those that hang in the lounge or Arena). I need to know how to allow a loaded .swf file to control the main timeline in AS3.
I have a container .swf that includes global controls (jump menu/volume control) and branding. Loading a swf for the dialogue boxes (timeline animated ... although I realize there may be better ways to handle it). Another swf for a simcity-ish illustration that has animated elements with various states. I need all to be able to communicate with each other. I was able to load the movies no problem. Even communicate with the loaded ones from the main timeline. Just need to be able to go the other way.

I apologise because I know this has been covered but none of the code I've found seems to have sorted my problem.On my main timeline (_level0 right?) I have the following code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container2",2);
container2._x=28

I have a external SWF loading into a target on my main swf. Is there a way to control the timeline from the loaded movie from the main timeline. So , control B timeline from A. I've tried mcholder.gotoAndPlay (2); but it won't work. Also, how can I get the mumbers of frames from the external swf into the main timeline. Will a global variable work?

I've got a movie with a few buttons in it. When you click on one of the buttons an external swf opens. At the same time a large, quare, white movieclip opens at the back of the external swf (the white mc is in the main movie). Okay, so for so good.
In the external swf there is a close button. When you click the button, the external swf goes to frame 14 to show a short closing animation. The last frame contains the following code:
TweenLite.to(_level0.contentback_mc,1,{_alpha:0});
this.unloadMovie();
The first line is to make shure the large white mc becomes transparent again. The second line is - ofcourse - to unload the external swf.
The problem is that the first line doens't work. When I trace the first line from the main movie, the output contains '_level0.contentback_mc;
Oh, and the external swf is loaded in an actionscript generation container (contentback_mc).

I'm having issues with an animation and need to get it functioning properly. I've posted two example/demo files to illustrate desired functionality.The main timeline (testMain.swf) consists of a loader, section/slide one content, and a button (bttnClick) set to load an external swf (external.swf).
external.swf contains two additional sections/slides and two 'next' buttons (bttnEnter with 'bNextOne' & 'bNextTwo' instance names) to navigate. When the second 'next' button (bNextTwo) is clicked I need the loaded external swf to fade out revealing the original main timeline (testMain.swf) and returning/stopping playhead at the 'slideOne' frame label. Does the external swf need to be unloaded even though users will most likely go back to it? What�s the best way to handle this?
If you could assist with the external swf fadeout to main timeline, the return to 'slideOne' frame label, and insight as far as the best way to return to the external swf.

In trying to keep file size down for download time... I have a SWF file that I have placed using the "UILoader" component (not sure if this is the correct thing to do)... what I would like to work out is how to make a preloader within my main timeline for this SWF file when it comes in. I hope that makes sense - I am very new to all this and struggling with terminology etc. I figured Actionscript would be what I need - but no clue right now...
