Can a loaded movie unload itself, I've tried but nothing positive. This is the thing, I have a section that I loaded, and I want a close button in that loaded movie, not in the actual main movie.
View 3 RepliesIve made two simple up/down buttons, that "scrolls" a loaded movie by the following code (lets say the movie is loaded to level 5):
_level5._y += 5;
Very simple.
Well, Id like to be able to hold down the button and have the movie scroll continously, like the scroll++ code does for textboxes.Is that possible?
i want to close browser by clicking on close button embedded swf. I have tried fscommand("quit"), but which is not working on browser.
View 9 Replies[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);
}
[code]....
What i am trying to do is..i am loading one swf into my current swf. The loaded swf has a close button like we have in windows. i have applied fscommand(quit) to the loaded swf. BUT when i am clicking the close button the whole application is getting closed. i want the swf to quit ONLY and not the whole application.

When i load a new album i used a code you posted here: AS3 How to remove previous loadersbut the problem is that sometimes the user leaves the album page before ALL the pics laod so when they click on a new album to open it a new image is placed somewhere else cause the loader has already been launched. I've tryd to close() the loader but it doesn't seem to work.Here you can see the working site to see what im talking abouy you have to click on an album, leave before all the pictures load and open up another one.

Is it necessary to unload Movies in Flash, or can I keep multiple movies loaded simultaneously? Are there memory requirements that make it necessary to limit the number of Flash movies loaded at one time?

I also have a button that appears when a movie is loaded that is coded to remove the myLoader1 child when selected. So the movie dissapears. But there are a few of my movies that have on-going sound clips. How do I make the sound turn off when the button to remove the movie is selected?I tried adding SoundMixer.stopAll(); to the button that removes the movie but this doesn't work.
View 1 Repliesi have my loaded .swf buttons loading 'movie1' and 'movie2'. both 'movie1' and 'movie2' have a tween in frames 1-5, which is a box that slides open and is stopped. in frames 6-10 the box slides backwards in the opposite and dissapears. i would like it if 'movie1' is open and the user clicks the button for 'movie2', 'movie1' plays 6-10 and then loades 'movie2' and vice versa. i just don't a script for this function.
View 7 RepliesI have a site I am building in AS3. I have a main SWF, site.swf, that loads the subsections as seperate SWF's only when a user clicks on them (to save on initial load time).or my subsections, I need to be able to communicate with the SWF that loaded it. In AS2, this was simple enough - just say something like_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("something"), and step up enough levels to speak to movie clips in the main SWF.Trying to do this in AS3, however, results in errors such as this when trying to compile my subsection SWF:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.... because it thinks I am trying to communicate with something that doesn't exist. The result is that I can't compile my subsection SWF's.For example, I am unable to reference a variable in the main SWF using this code in my subsection SWF:

A problem that I'm having is that any movie I load into my main swf (regardless if I load it into an empty MC or just a higher level) my mouse still recognizes buttons that are underneath the loaded swf. This can be confusing to the viewer as the pointer turns to essentially an invisible button because you can't see the underlying button. Is there anyway to make the Flash player not recognize buttons underneath loaded SWF's or do I have to turn to invisible upon load?
Also, I'm having trouble getting the loaded swf to communicate with the main movie that loaded it. I think I need to use the parent action but I'm not sure how. I'm trying to use code that is created and contained in the movie that it loaded, is this correct?
i load external movie with loadMovie action.
It loads the SWFs into the movie correct.
I have problem, how simply switch between the loaded movies. The last loaded movie overlay all loaded movies.
How is possible do it the swap of the loaded movies?

Ok- so the idea is that when you click a button it plays the movies assigned to the variables gallery & button to the frames mentioned. Then the variables are changed and then when another buttons is clicked it does the same - 'except it doesn't - it does it once then sits there I have to use variables because there's a lot more buttons..but i don't understand why it doesn't work - it seems such a simple and obvious thing to try and do - why is it so HARD???
Is there a way to automatically unload movies when a new movie is loaded? eg: 5 buttons, 5 bit of art. At the moment they overlap instead of unloading before the new one loads.

how to keep track of loaded MCs? I have a navigation system loading content MCs. The problem is, when I choose another nav button, I want it to (onPress) figure which clip is currently loaded then gotoAndPlay a frame label in that clip, which will play an exit animation and load the content area corresponding to the newly pressed button.
Someone on Flashkit suggested having the loaded content MC send a variable to the main time line to act as a kind of flag to say which section is active but I'm not sure how to go about doing this.
