ActionScript 2.0 :: External Files Into A ContainerMC?
Apr 1, 2005
I need to load a external swf into my Mccontainer. This Mc Container is the one im using actually to get external files loaded and displayed with a generic preloader. This preloader works perfectly loadind external clips, I tested online. Iam fairly new to the flash and actually i cant figure out how to pre/load an external swf WITHOUT pressing any buttons, it means that an external clip schould be loaded directly into my MCcontainer !!! I need to write an As that i schoud put on a code frame layer (main timeline) that will tell flash to load the external swf directly into my Mccontainer without pressing any buttons when flash reaches a specif code frame on the timeline.
I have a doubt regarding MouseChildren in Flash as3, i am having a movieclip named as containermc and a button named as clickbtn inside containermc, Here i want to addEventListeners for both the movieclip and button! I used containermc.mouseChildren = false; to add click event listener to the containermc then i was not able to click the button, then i gave containermc.mouseChildren = true; then i was not able to click the containermc, and also i need to enable doubleclick to containermc movieclip.
I'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.
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 spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:
Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?
I've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
//This is the Person.as file: class Person { public var HomName:String = "unknown"; public var HomEmail:String = "unknown"; public var HomPhone:String = "unknown"; public var HomSaveFreq:Number = 0;

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.
I'm loading external jpgs into a swf movie. This works fine from the swf. The problem is when I embed it in the html. File Structure that I want:
movie.html FolderB> ImageFolder>image.jpg movie.swf (path to the images is ImageFolder/image.jpg
When I run the movie.swf from within the directory, it runs fine. However, when I embed it in the movie.html it doesn't run. Question: Are paths from the swf relative to the PAGE that the swf is contained in vs the swf itself? Hope that makes sense.
I downloaded a source of the dragging3d tutorial "dragging3d.as" .I want to use it edit it in some ways but i cant.I can only open it up with flash cs3.maybe edit it there.But than what?How to compile it? or what should i do to turn it into a stage , a .flv file?
I am trying to external .pdf files to my flash file. What I want to do is have the user click a button on a given topic and it opens the .pdf in Acrobat. I know that it can be do because I did it in Actionscript 2.0, I just need to know what the code is in Actionscript 3.0.

I'm working on a Flash project (which will eventually be published as an .exe - not sure if that makes any difference) which has buttons which need to open up external files.The external file will vary in type (there will be at least one button each for .pdf, .exe and .swf).I've managed to get this from various online help things:
Code: function f_testURLOpener() { var url:String = "BWorking.exe"; var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url); navigateToURL(request); }
I've tested it with about 5 different file types and it only seems to work if the url String begins with "http://". Even local htm/ html files don't open.
I have a .fla file which is pulling in a document class. Within that main class document many other classes are being called like the code attached. my question is when I make a change to a .as file such as XaMLDiplomat.as, and then republish the .fla, should those changes update to the .swf? I am not seeing the changes I made to the external .as file, so that is the reason for this post.
I have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing. These flash movies load an external xml file.This is failing.The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.[url]...
I'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:
I'm in the middle of coding a Flash CS5 file with AS 3.0, and a part of that code has me importing an external .as file I wrote. When published, the SWF works fine - but only when it's in the same directory as the external .as file I imported to begin with. Ideally, I'd like the published SWF to work independently without needing to be packaged with the .as file
I've been requested to create a flash project in which all images are external references.Images (mostly png) are created and can be modified anytime by artists, fla files and actionscript are created by developers. When opening a fla file, images should be automatically updated with the latest ones on the server and be visible in the fla file.Technical requirements are as follow : Actionscript 2.0 and Flash player 9 max.I tried to use the Loader component, it seems to be what I want (with Autoload function enabled), but unfortunately ActionScript 2.0 component doesn't allow png files, and doesn't work anymore when embedded inside a movieclip or a button (image became totally invisible).A simpler solution should be to automatically run the "Update" button on every image in the library but I don't think Flash to be able to do such a thing.
Tha following code is for resizing the Movie Clips which are on Stage. But how can I resize the external .SWF files? I am laoding an external .swf file through Gallery_mc.addChild(loader)[code]...
I've created a very large scale Flash game and have apparently had a massive oversight - the flash portal websites wishing to host my game need it in one stand alone .swf. However, the problem is I load everything externally. I load the level data from .plist files, the images from .png and the sound from .wav, all located in folders in the .swf directory. They're loaded through Loader's and URLRequest.
Is there any way I can embed these so it will run as a stand alone? Preferably an easier way than individually writing embed lines, as there are 1000s of files.
I've got a Zend Framework project with an admin area. In the admin area is a Adobe Flex (Flash) application to create, save and open pdf files. The pdfs are stored in http://localhost/public/pdf/.Is it possible that only the flex application (logged admin) has the permission to open the generated pdf files?How can i protected the files from a direct external browser call eg. through http://localhost/public/pdf/mysecret.pdf
I'm having trouble loading external flv files I have on my server into my SWF file?
I have all the netconnection set up properly but im wondering if there is a variable or a parameter I have to pass to the ns.play() method that I am not doing correctly.
I've been making a game using Adobe Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 on my desktop and it was working fine. I tried to transfer the folder containing the flash file and all of the .as files to my laptop via a jump drive and now, when I run the the swf, it doesn't appear to be loading any of my .as files. All of the files are still located in the same folder as my flash files and it still compiles and runs fine on my desktop.
