ActionScript 2.0 :: ISWF Loads External Images From An XML File
Jan 31, 2012
My SWF loads external images from an XML file. The problem is the layout shakes up and down as each image is being loaded into the grid because the images are bigger in size than the thumbnail "holder" they are being placed in. They are bigger so when you click on a thumb and the layout zooms in, the images won't be pixelated.I added all the images to the library of the fla file and exported in frame 1 but it didn't solve the shaking. Preloader worked, but images were still loaded in and then shrunk down to size.

I'm working with a flash template that loads external images and text using an xml file. Everything works well the only problem is I've promised a client that as well as a "title" and "description" I will also include a clickable URL link. I can edit the flash to a certain extent but I am having a nightmare of a time including a clickable url. Is there anyone out there who can help? "photo_description", "photo_title" and "photo_url" are the names of the dynamic text fields.
XML snippet looks a little like this...
<title>Title</title>
<description>Description</description>[code].....

I have 2 SWF's: main.swf and contents.swf. The contents.swf loads in external images via XML and also loads in some text via the same XML file. I have a button in the main.swf file that loads the contents.swf. When the contents.swf is fully loaded into the main.swf file, the text (called from the contents.swf via XML) loads super fast while the images continue to load (since they are larger files). My question is how do I make it so that when the button on the main.fla file is clicked, BOTH the text and images are loaded at the same time (so that there is not a delay between loaded text and loaded images)??
The project is in AS3 and just to let you know I just started out learning the new language. I'm not very familiar with classes so all of my code is written in the timeline on the first frame.

how to load images from an xml file into my flash file. I want to make something very similar to: [URL] So that it has a next and previous option. All my images will be exactly 128x128 pixels (png files), but there could be any number of them.

I'm building a project that dynamically loads external images and audio into it.The images in the external folder are numbered sequentially in the order they display as you click through them (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc). No problem.There is audio that is supposed to fade in a play with certain images. (1.mp3 fades in when 1.jpg is displayed.). No problem.Here's where it gets tricky... At least for me.Not every jpg has an audio file associated with it. The last audio that was triggered needs to keep playing until another jpg with cooresponding audio file plays, at which point the two audio files need to smoothly crossfade.1.jpg displayed => 1.mp3 fades in and plays.
(user clicks)
2.jpg displayed => 1.mp3 crossfades to 2.mp3.
(user clicks)

I have a swf that loads external images from an xml feed (using moviecliploader) and then rotates through these images every n seconds. This works fine in ie and it loads the images and scrolls through them. However in Firefox sometimes it loads the image and sometimes it doesn't! its like a lucky dip haha Is there any link that you know of to any information on this bug/issue with firefox that might help me resolve this? Found something that might be causing the problem, if Firefox cannot find the image within a certain time it just gives up... is this true?

I am pretty new to xml (and understand just a little actionscript 2.0) I have a functioning flash file that loads text and images dynamically from my xml file. Everything is working fine, but I was wondering if there is a quick code to change the image size when they are loaded into my empty mc?
Here is the code I have so far (real basic):

i am creating a file that loads images dynamically and scrolls through them. this is all being read from an xml file. i am able to do everything but get the buttons to work.whenever i click on a button, it gives me the value of the last button, not the current button. for example, if four buttons load, if i click on any button, it always traces the value of 4.
here is the code:
Code:
//load xml file
var xmlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlD:XML = new XML();

I have a preloader that loads an external .swf file. Preloader works fine, technically the external .swf loads fine, but the external .swf is scaled up so you can only see about 2/3 of the screen. I made the stage for the preloader the same size as the stage for the external swf. I used the HTML for the swf that gets loaded, and just changed the file name to that of my loader.

I have the movie loader working, but the movies the do not show the correct proportions. The individual swfs are the correct size but the movie loader in the main index displays them scrunched in vertically. I'm told you have to tell the movie to the correct proportions after it is loaded.If you look at the attached photos, you will see that the info displayed will not span across th entire vertical space How do I fix this/code it correctly?
Here is my code thus far:
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number =1050;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I have a simple swf file which loads data from an external XML file.At present, the user types the filename of the XML file they wish to load.Is it possible for Flash to 'read' the filenames of all of the available XML files in the folder and then present these filenames in a drop down list for example? Then, instead of typing filenames, the user would just click on the XML file they wanted to load.

I have three AS2 swf files main.swf - very simple swf file with three buttons (home,btn1, btn2)
1.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn1
2.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn2
Home button simply removes the loaded swf and shows btn1 and btn2.
If I launch main.swf and click btn1, then 1.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn2.. 1.swf still loads! When I close main.swf and reopen, click btn2, then 2.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn1.. 2.swf still loads! WTSDLFKJ@##@$
This is why I ask how to completely unload the swfs? I've tried every different way to unload Google could show me.. unload, unloadandstop, etc. I've tried loading 1/2.swf as a movieclip and URLRequest. I've tried using two separate containers and loaders. Still the same thing.. the first opened swf is the only one that will open unless I close main.swf, reopen and then click the OTHER button.
I should note that 1/2.swf are flip book style applications that load external .xml data.

I have added this code to a button in my flash file. When the viewer presses the button a external .swf file will load. The problem is how do I specify where it loads. For example, when the viewer hits the button the external swf file default loads at 0,0. If I want it to load somewhere else on the page is there a way to make it load at a certain specified location? Here is the code I am using on the button.
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}
Now this works fine and the swf file is loaded correctly but it is always at the top left corner. How can I go about loading it in a specific place on the flash file? Is there a way to create a holder that would make it load in that certain area?

I have a main.swf file. In first frame i load a background slideshow with this code:
[Code]...
My problem is that when the site loads the 1st time and click from the menu to go to the 2nd frame (1st content page) then i have to wait at about 3-4 seconds to load my html content. The same for the 3rd frame. If these two content pages load for the 1st time, then the pages open immediately. What can i do for this? Is there a way to open this content pages more quickly, or place a loader, and with what code?

I wanna create some sort of actionscripted typewriter which loads its content from an external file, but i can't seem to get the code to work properly!
This is what i got till now:
2 layers:
- one with a textfield called 'textbox'
- one with the actions
A textfile which contains: waarde=Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!
4 frames, in the first frame i load the textfile this way:
[AS]q = 1;
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt",this);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]...
The problem is that when i assign the value of "text" in the first frame this way : <-- text = "Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!"; --> (witout the comment tags ofcourse) the typewriter works fine but when i load the var from the textfile nothing happens, the trace works fine and displays the contents of the var but the typewriter displays nothing.
the weird this is that when i add this after all the code in frame 1 it works fine: text = "azerty";
But when i add this it doesn't: text = "a";
So when i overwrite the var with the azerty value suddenly it contains the correct value in the next frame, when i assign only one character to it the script doesn't work anymore.

I have an HTML page with buttons. Each button needs to have a getURL to open the Flash site, but then somehow, needs to also load the appropriate swf into that Flash site... My reasoning is because I have some scripts under my site that need to be in HTML (or PHP) for search engines, that way I don't have to do the whole site in HTML.. I hate having a HTML index page, but it's the only solution I could come up with. So, when a visitor selects any of the navigation buttons, I don't want them to have to select that button again, when the Flash site loads. how to do this for Flash 7 / AS 2.0? Or if there are any posts here about it?

have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

In my "actions" layer I have a function that loads a gallery of a external file called gallery.swf. The swf loads successfully but I cant remove that. The only way to remove is to call removeChild(mLoader.content); I noticed that the movies loads without addChild.
But sometimes also calling removeChild(mLoader.content) the content of mLoader is not removed and still appears in the stage.

I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.
