ActionScript 2.0 :: External .swf Loaded, But Does Not Show Up?
Nov 8, 2005
I followed this tutorial on here for making a reusable actionscript preloader (link: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acte...cliploader.htm). Works fine when loading a .jpg, but when attempting to load a .swf it doesn't work. It says it's loaded, but the .swf doesn't play!!! In fact, the .swf doesn't even show up!!! Is there some code I need to add to make a .swf play when loaded? Here's the code which went into a frame in the actions layer. It's the exact same code as in the source example for the tutorial, I just chopped out the buttons part of the code, and the fade in part and replaced the jpg URL, with my .swf URL. Sorry if it's really simple, I'm not an expert at AS.

I have my main movie, and from there an external movie is loaded which has a scrollpane on it. Problem is the preloader will not show when the external swf is loaded...when the button is clicked, nothing happens for about 3 seconds and then eventually the scrollpane comes up. I have the preloader on Scene 2, and it works for all my other external swfs so I know its the scrollpane issue.[code]I have tried have the "export to first" frame linkage thing but that doesnt work... does anyone know how best to do this?

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

I am making a page where the owner of the website can upload an image and it will show the images uploaded on the page. I've got an upload system, it uploads the image to a folder. PHP sends the locations of the images to AS3.
The string AS3 is getting from PHP is:
Code: .....
I also have a variable counting the amount of images in the folder and flash is receiving that one too. How do I show the images on the page? I know how to show them on the page but I have to make variables myself etc and I want it to do it automatically. I've got this already:
Code:
var Times:Number = 0;
var loc:String;
var loc1:String;
var loc2:String;

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

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:

I've created an AS2 3D carousel It loads text values in the "content" section of the code below - including numbers and special characters into the .swf but.What I can't figure out, is how to get it so that the "Tooltip" loads the text into the movieclip, but can also have numeric and special characters in it.For example, I need the title of one of the icons on this carousel to be "3D Images," but only the "D Images" shows up from the XML text for the tooltip. The content when a user clicks on the icon can include numbers, just not the titles for some reason.I think it has something to do with the way that my text is loaded from the xml document specifically for the tooltip and tipText for the movie clip. Can numeric values be loaded into a movie clip in AS2.

I made a movie with 3 slide shows on Level_0. Those slideshows are .swf files that are loaded into blank movie clips on the stage. Each .swf that is loaded into the file is a dynamically loaded .jpg slide show. Everything is working great, except that I want the 3 slide shows to pause when the user presses a button.

[CS3 AS2]. I'm having trouble preloading a site I'm working on. I think I'm doing it correctly but the preloader page dosen't show up until its done loading. Then jumps straight to the 2nd frame because its loaded. I'm just doing a simple animation on frame 1 (as the preloader anim.) then when its finished loading, goToAndPlay frame 2.
Code:
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I'm running into an error 1009 on a script that I've been working on. What I'm trying to do is attach a preloader Movie Clip that I have in my library with a class name of preloader, to an empty Movie Clip called preloaderMC and position that on a set of loaded thumbnail images. I can get the code to show one preloader and it will track the total of all the images being loaded, not single images. Ideally, I'd like the preloaders to show the amount loaded for each image and then disappear.

I'm working on the following site http:[url]...I'm getting there however the preloader I'm using keeps appearing even when the movie in question has been cached. Is there a preloader solution out there that detects when a movie has been previously loaded so that it won't show the loader bar again. I find it annoying seeing the bar appear unneccessarily all the time.The preloader I'm using is basically this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();[code]....

I use a variable to show the percentage loaded number in a dynamic text box. The problem I have is that it only works when there is more than 1 frame in the preloader scene.
My guess is, that when there is only one frame, the code is not being refreshed to update the text box.
ie var percentage; percentage = math.round( getBytesLoaded() / getBytesTotal() * 100);

Ok, so I have tried and tried to figure this out. Of course in the test environment everything works beautifully, but when I test my swf on my site, thats when the sh*t hits the fan.
The problem is my buffer bar wont show up until the video is completly loaded. In flash however, it loads across as the video is downloaded, like it's supposed to.
Go to my site to see what I am talking about. The loader bar appears uder the progress bar, exactly like on youtube. www.blankensteincreations.com
Here is the code that controls it.
Code:
mcVideoControls.mcProgressFill.mcFillGrey.width = nsStream.bytesLoaded * 710 / nsStream.bytesTotal;
Of course that is wrapped in a timer funtion which, I add, works fine.
FLA is attatched as well as the code below so you can see how it works in flash.
Here is my full code:
Code:
const BUFFER_TIME:Number = 8;
const DEFAULT_VOLUME:Number = 0.6;
const DISPLAY_TIMER_UPDATE_DELAY:int = 10;

I am attempting to build a small slideshow using as3. I have built it on a transition extension. i have it working, but all the images are loaded into the library, given a class name to reference them and the rest is done based on the class names.in the as3 code a array has been set up all the class names listed like this:
Code:
image_movieclip_array = [
Image1,
Image2,
Image3
]
I have taken it a step further and created a xml file listing the url to the photos i want to load in but this is where i am lost the urls are being read successfully in, so the code can access the urls but im not sure from there how I actually import the images in, or how to assign each a seperate class , does the addchild command assign a class name that i can add to the above array?

I have a master to wich I'm loading external swf's. The preloader begins fine but when it reaches 10-12 % loaded the swf that I'm loading shows up. This leaves the preloader in it's place continuing counting... I want the preloader to stay until 100 % and THEN I want the external swf to show. Anyone understand my problem?

I have just started messing around in flash and made a pretty cool site (...design wise, the action script part is my major problem right now) which is suppose to go online sometime soon. I used the following script to load an external SWF into my main SWF: (I placed this script in the main timeline of my 'main' movie on frame 100 or something)
[as]
if(this.contentHolder == Number(this.contentHolder)){
loadMovieNum("content1.swf",this.contentHolder);
} else {
this.contentHolder.loadMovie("content1.swf");
[/as]
The external swf is al working fine, the preloader, buttons and thumbnails behaviour. All except for one thing: the photos wont load when i click on the thumbnails. The external SWF is a photogallery with thumbnails. The script for the small thumbnails is as following: (I placed this on the first frame inside a movie clip of a movie clip which is staged in the main timeline).
[as]
var frameNum:Number;
function photoChange(){
_root.photos.gotoAndStop("img"+frameNum);
_root.photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
} btn1.onRelease = function(){
