ActionScript 2.0 :: Flashcs3 AS2 External Swf Will Load But Won't Play
Dec 17, 2008
I am totally new to actionscript.I found a slideshow which uses an xml file to load jpgs. (albumV2.swf)The xml contains jpgs, and captions.When I publish it on its own...works fine.Now I'm trying to place albumV2.swf inside a deeply nested mc.I'm using a button to navigate to the target movieclip (holder_mc) which I want to contain the external swf.[code]when I test The albumV2.swf loads, I can see the background for the photos. But it won't play.There are thumbnails in the swf that don't show, but there's also a timer and counter in the swf that do show.All the photos are called from the xml doc, but I can't see them. However, I CAN see the first caption that's in the xml.doc. and only the first caption.I wondered if the code in the original slideshowFLA uses some hierarchy that I'm screwing up, but shouldn't the xml be fine once it's found?

I wanted to have a sound playing (loaded external mp3) and then have various buttons on the screen that load an alternate song in its place.
This is what I'm trying to do:
var myMusic:Sound = new Sound();var reqMyMusic:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mySong.mp3");myMusic.load(reqMyMusic);myMusic.play();
music1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, music1);

I have a file to which I do not have the source - a flash header with an obnoxious sound intro and I need to mute all sounds. Without the source I am limited as to what I can do. I have some as3 code that I am using to try and load the swf into and mute(building in FlashDevelop). Here is the code in question:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
[Code] .....
This code above still plays the audio and the original swf is not being displayed. So, my questions are:
How would I mute the external audio?
How would I display the external swf just as it does when viewing it directly?

It's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.
------------------------------------------------------------
I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF
homeButton_btn - home.swf
page1Button_btn - page1.swf
page2Button_btn - page2.swf
Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button. Example: When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf". Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"
My questions are: 1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.
2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.
3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?
4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.My Actionscript 3.0 code
var pageContainer:Loader;
pageContainer = new Loader();
var nextMov:String;[code].........

code that will load and play a folder of flv's continuously?I have a folder of short clips i converted to flv. When one clip finishes, i want the next clip to play and to endlessly loop through the flvs, never stopping. If there's a way to include a transition, that'd be cool too, but not important. I've got the first clip loading, but can't get the next to play.
Code:
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);

I am currently developing a banner that contains 4 buttons. Each of these link to different URLs within the website where the banner appears.
The problem:SWF functions beautifully on its own (i.e., animations play, rollovers work). However, when uploaded to the server and dropped into the HTML with the proper plug-ins, the links suddenly cease to function. Flash still plays beautifully - it's just the links that seem to disappear. The one browser where the links seem to work 'as is' is Firefox on PC.
I am using the basic but usually effective:on (release) { getURL("http:url...); }
Sorta-solution: Added "_blank" to the end of the script and this worked in all tested browsers... however, the client wants the URL to open in the same window (they have asked not to provide the actual link).

I recently followed the snow tutorial on this site: [URL]. In order to create snow in a flash document. The results were exactly as I was hoping for but when I export the file as an .avi it exports without the snow. Is there a way I can export the file as an avi with the falling snow?

I am working on a game engine that works like an overhead RPG, but the terrain is drawn at an angle with the characters at the same angle to give the illusion of a 3D world. the problem I am running into is that, while I can get the character to move perfectly fine on the ground, I need to be able to set the character to go behind or above certain objects depending where he is.
The best example of what I am trying to accomplish is from Gaia's MMO.
[URL]
As you can see in the first frame of the image, the character is in front of the bush, but behind the lamppost. In the second frame he is both behind the lamppost and bush. In the last frame, he is in front of both the lamppost and bush. during all of this though the bush and Lamppost never change position with the terrain or each other.
Basically, I have come to the conclusion that I believe the way this RPG is able to do this is through distance detection and depth swaps.
ex. if distance is above 0 character is above object. if distance is below 0, character is below object.
The main I would like to accomplish with this is the character, enemies, and NPC's are the only thing that changes depth. why? If an enemy is following and is on a different depth then the character, possibly higher or lower then the object, it could appear above or below the object while the character is the opposite.

I'm trying to place 5 instances of a horizontal line (mcLine) starting at 78% from the top of the Stage. This all works fine, but I want to be able to have these dynamically created MovieClip instances register mouse events and they don't.First the setup of the mcLine instances:
var nFirstLineY:Number = (Math.round(Stage.height*.78));
var nLineSpace:Number = 22;
var nWaitTime:Number = 1000;[code]...
If I place instances of the mcLine MovieClip on the stage and name them line_1, line_2, etc., the function LineVibrate works, but when I try to add the instances at run time as above, the LineVibrate function stops working.

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 am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:

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);
