ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Loading Page Complete Before XML Files Are Loaded
Oct 20, 2009
Unfortunately the search function on the site doesnt seem to be working. I have a website [URL]. We have created a loading page so that the user enters the site when the site is fully loaded. Unfortunately this doesnt work for those parts of the website that are being loaded externally i.e. through XML files.
An example of this can be seen on the showcase section on the left side of the Home Page.
Can I also mention that there are over 250 images being loaded externally through the XML files as well as a number of text blocks. I as a web developer are completely against this amount of images but the client wants them in so unfortunately they have to stay.

I am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?

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 have a flash file that loads jpeg files and runs through each on the timeline. I have nav buttons to go back and forth. Here is the problem, all images load on frame 5 and I do this while another image is displayed so that they are loading in the background. I do this so that my initial file size is small, but I can load images in the background making the flash file appear to load quickly and loading other elements after it starts.
So all images load on frame 5, then I go frame by frame until I hit frame 11. If I click one of my nav buttons to go back to say, frame 7, the jpeg is gone and is no longer loaded. How to load jpeg files into the library, or at least, keep them loaded after they have loaded once? I have attached my fla file for reference. I had to rename the extension to eps, but it's a fla file, just rename the extension.

I have created a flash movie which loads a XML file. This XML file contains around 8 links.
Now I am trying to load another XML files corresponding to each link. That is, if clicked on Link1, flash movie should load XML File 1, Link2 should load XML File 2 and so on.

I have a large SWF flash file being loaded by a parent SWF and I would like to start playing the film being loaded, let's say, when it is 50% completed. According to my expected user's bandwidth and the size of my film I will calculate the best moment to do that (the film could be 20%, 30% or 50% loaded). I want to leave users waiting the minimum and I don't need to wait until my flash is 100%.
Ok, that said, here is the problem. I am in ActionScript 3. I have one film loading another and I want to anticipate the loaded film start. I have an onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent) function (with listener launched by ProgressEvent.PROGRESS) and I have a regular onLoadComplete(e:Event) function (with listener launched by Event.COMPLETE). I could check for 20% completed during my regular onProgressHandler. But then, when I have identified this point has been reached, how can I anticipate the launching of the film? I mean, my Event.COMPLETE handler passes the e:Event and I can use e.target to get the loaded object into my film. But what happens if I want to start that process before it is complete? I cannot pass this e:Event because the COMPLETE handler hasn't been launched yet...
One important thing to say. The film that is loading is almost empty. It is very light. The heavy film is the one being loaded and I want to attach that film being loaded to a movie clip in my film before it has completed loading.

I am new flash developer, and inherited a project which has 4 fla project files. When it runs inside a browser, it appears "window" which occupies whole browser. This project is write in Flash CS3. I have few questions:
1). When loading main swf file, 3 other swf files are also loaded. These swf files are communicating with each other through message. When debug the mail swf with CS3, I can set breakpoint and the program can stop only at limited AS files. My questions is how to debug other AS files in other swf file?
2) I used CS5. It seems that I can stop at more AS files, which does not belong to main swf file. Why?
My questions is should I use CS5, which might makes debugging easier? Is it right direction to go to debug multiple swf? (For CS5, I need to fix some code in order to make the program fully working as CS3)
3) What's best tool to use for such project since CS3 is very old. Should I use Flash builder, Flex. Amethyst?

I am having an issue with a class I'm working on. I currently load an image as a bitmap and store its data into regState:BitmapData so that I may make new instances of that image later on. When I test if I can use the loaded data at a later time with my newBitmapIntance() function, it says that regState is null. I'm lost as to why this is the case, since it works flawlessly to create an instance of itself in my loadContent() function.
Class so far For reference:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have a "loader.swf" after which my "main.swf" loades. I have used a loaderPro v3 (AS2) component. Doing that was easy but then when it starts loading, even before the loading completes the main.swf starts playing in the background. And i have no coding in my actions panel.

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

I have a swf that uses a Loader to load in another swf. I want to wait until the child swf is loaded until I display it, so I have an event listener for when it's complete. The problem is that the child swf has its own children, so it comes back as being complete before its children (the grandchildren) are loaded, and therefore is being displayed while things still are popping up.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make sure that the children of the child are loaded before returning as complete.I was thinking I could add listeners on all the children that then increment a variable until it is equal to an expected number (number of loaders) and then run a function on the parent to display itself, but that seems like a last resort solution.

I've got a loader that I put an event listener on for Event.COMPLETE. I then add it as child of the stage and call the load method. The swf it's loading appears on the stage, but the Event.COMPLETE listener is never called. I can attach a MouseEvent.CLICK event to the loader and that works just fine.

My class is dispatching 2 events. One event is captured by another class, and the second event not.I have 2 classes. Class1 creates an object of Class2 and calls a function to load an xml. When xml is loaded class2 dispatches a Complete event. This event is listened by Class1 and then it calls another function of Class2. When the second function executes completely Class2 dispatches second event. Now the problem starts. Class1 is not able to capture this second event. Whereas while dispatchEvent is called from class2, it return true as a notification that the event is dispatched successfully.

I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?

The preloader I usually use executes an addChild(loadedMovie)statement in response to an Event.COMPLETE event from the loaded swf's contentLoaderInfo object (a common approach, I believe.) The problem with this (as many of us know) is that the loaded swf starts running before the Event.COMPLETE event gets thrown, which means that once the child is added, it is already a few frames into its timeline. What I need is a way for the loaded swf not to start playing til its COMPLETE event gets thrown.

I am trying to provide a client with a method of sharing video files with members of the media. I'm really not sure how to accomplish this, but there are two things that I'm assuming at this point:
To get the 50MB-750MB files on the server I was thinking I'd use a flash control to upload the files like I've seen on other video sharing sites (YouTube, vimeo, ...)This would have to be done via FTP
So I have been searching for a Flash/Java plugin that would help me get these files to the server in a user-friendly fashion, but there doesn't seem to be any open-source options. I'm open to paying for a solution, but not unless it will allow me to use it over and over again. So now I'm thinking I should just setup a public FTP dropbox for admins to put videos using an FTP client like FileZilla, then I can just read the directory and edit/organize/manage the files with PHP.

Good day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.

Is there way to get the browser to always load any swf files before everything else on a page (exept the external css and swfobject.js). Using Firebug's Net statistics I can see the swf files generally load last.
We have all our external js files inserted at the bottom of the page to help loading times.

Ive just finished a flash web site that ive used a lot of XML for loading my images from thumbnails. Its works great.
Except it takes maybe 3-4 minutes to load. I think whats happening is its loading all the images in that XML file before it even shows the first thumbnail, so thats like 2MB its loading.
Is there a way to preload all of the xml files at the start on my Flash splash page?
Here is the link to what im explaining.
