I have a website im working on and I have it load multiple swfs etc. But although the site will load in the beginning it takes time to load each swf. Although I grasp the logic behind that is there a way to make them just all load at once? Like an AS code to include in a preloader of sorts?
View 1 RepliesLet's assume that I can't script the loaded swf, nor can the loaded one script the loader swf.
I was attempting to set frame rate to 0, and wait after all swfs are loaded, and set frame rate back. But I found when I set the frame rate to 0, I could not receive the complete event! And it's weird that i can still receive UI events...
Is there a way to load several swfs and start them together?
So I want to make some movie clips function as buttons to load some external swfs. I have this action script on the mc's:
on (release)
{
loadMovie("Chuck.swf", "motionmc");
}
It was working when it was a button, but now nothing happens?
I 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.

I have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.

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.
This is the bare bones of it:
Code:
sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;
addChild(sceneHolder);

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);
[Code].....
is there a property for loading swfs which puts them infront or behind each other?
View 16 RepliesTrying to load swfs with loadmovie script. They load fine but when close window button is pressed the Main movie behind it dissappears to blank screen.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a heck of a time trying to get a number of external SWFs loaded into one main SWF in successive order, the next one playing after the other has ended. To complicate matters, the external SWFs have FLV files in them.
using Flash CS3
Actionscript 3.0
So, here's essentially what I'm looking to do: - I have one main SWF file (call it main.swf)- load several SWF files into this file so they play in order (let's call them movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, and so on) - these external SWF files all have FLV progressive downloads (not embedded, becuase then my audio doesn't sync up) - I want movie1.swf to load and play in the main file, then detect when the movie is complete, and unload that audio/video then load in movie2.swf, and so on.
This script seemed promising, but loads all of my SWFs on top of each other, making for some ::interesting:: audio... (i have it pasted in actions on first frame in main.swf)
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf");var tl:MovieClip=this
var index:uint=0;
loadF(new Event("nada"));
[Code]....
Maybe there's some code that can be pasted in the individual SWFs?
I am using this thumbnail gallery attached but instead of loading images through the xml I want to load external SWF'S. I also want to be able to control each SWF loaded in individually apparently in order to do that I need to give the container different instance names..however I don't know how to extend the code inorder to achieve this..

How do I load and unload three swfs, with a button that will navigate to the next swf? Also, will the sound unload with the swf as well?
View 3 RepliesI have a preloader and I want it to load each section when called with this code:
Callback function:
caps_mc.btn_continue_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpls);
function nextpls(e:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent.parent).nextSWF("startPage", parent);}
The code above tells the preloader that it is finished with the startPage and in the preloader it should next load faq, but I get an error saying that nextSWF is not a function when it clearly is, Is it even possible to use a preloader to load up swfs in this way??
Preloader:
import flash.display.*;import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loadedSWF:Loadervar progressPercent:Number;
function startLoad(SWFName:String):void { loadedSWF = new Loader(); loadedSWF.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gameLoaded);

View 2 RepliesCan I load external SWF files using Javascript sequentially? Or does it have to be in Flash to load the SWF files from XML?
Currently we have SWF banners (900 x 230) loaded from XML sequentially and it works fine, but it is killing our computers. I wonder if the javascript will run the SWF banners smoothly?
I've got this down using ActionScript 3, but I am in over my head trying to revert back to ActionScript 2.

I'm loading external swfs into my main swf and they should just be playing automatically. When I test in Flash, the system works. Upon loading the swf into an HTML page, the system seems to shut down. It seems liike the exteranl swfs aren't even loading. This is what I've got so far.

i have multiple SWFs loading on multiple button clicks. so by default i have one.swf loaded on the screen. now when button two is clicked i load two.swf replacing one.swf. similarly when button three is clicked i load three.swf.
is there anyway i can preload two.swf, three.swf and other swf files in the background so that when user clicks on the button to view these, the swf is already loaded and takes no time to appear.
How could I load multiple swfs?I mean, after the first .swf is done streaming, just then load the second swf.
View 2 Repliesi'm using hga77's xml menu you can view here.ok, so i'm trying to load swfs from the menu, what i've got so far is:
Code:

trace(NEWS.swf);

but the menu stops working. is there anything i can stick in this bit "function executeAction()" that will make the loadmovie load a different swf each time, rather than creating loads of loadmovie functions.

how to make secure SWF files, so that decompilers like sothink won't be able to decompile these swf files at all. i have been assigned some research work to find out the stuff to make swf files highly secured
View 1 RepliesI'm kinda stuck on a project I'm working on and need some guidance. I've been making educational Flash Videos and all the lessons. Each lesson is it's own SWF. I know how to make each SWF into it's own AIR application, but don't know how to get all of them into one AIR application.
Basically I'd like to create an Interface like this:http://bit.ly/h9OKPH Where I have a menu screen where you have all the lessons. When you click on a lesson it will take you to another frame and load the SWF for that lesson. I know I can import all the SWFs into a new Flash File, and then publish an Air Application, but I was hoping for a less time consuming and more resource efficient way to do so (I want the app to be optimized for speed).
While I'm not new to Flash builds I am certainly new to ActionScript 3.0. I'm currently trying to use a myLoader variable to load the different pages of my site(.swfs) but for some reason the swfs are just loading on top of the current swf. I've listed the code below.
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader ();
ask_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, askcontent);
function askcontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("ask.swf");
myLoader.load(myURL);

I want to embed multiple swfs on a single page. they will be identical. i was wondering if browsers will redownload the swf each time or store the first one and retrieve the others locally? if they re-download it, is there a way to tell the browser that it can use the same one?
