ActionScript 2.0 :: Load External Swf In New Flash Window?
Dec 8, 2009
I want to load external .exe or .swf in new flash window.I do not want to open it in an internet window.I want to open an .exe and click on a button that will open another .exe or .swf.I want to keep both flash windows open.I want to have the new one on top of the first one and I want it full screen.I am using Flash CS4 Action Script 2.0.I am using this code for full screen of second .exe or .swf
fscommand("fullscreen","true");
I am using this code to close the second .exe or .swf
I have a main flash movie that has 6 navigation buttons for 6 sections of the website. Each button loads an external swf to cutdown on preloader time for the whole website. Within each section, for example section1.swf, there are a number of images you can click through, with previous and back buttons. On each image in section1.swf is a button so that you can popup a window with more related info and images. So, in section1.swf on the first image image1_mc there is a button pop_btn, and I would like it to open a popup_mc which loads an external swf. Popup_mc would have a close_btn to close the window. I have tried various things for 2 weeks, and have had no luck. I can open a popup window, or I can load a swf, but I can't figure out how to put it all together.
I've got a few .swf files with video tutorials I've created using Captivate 4.I wanted to link them so I've created a main screen with menu with buttons in Flash.I've added AS to load the external swf files but they load in the same window. How can I load these .swf files in seperate window so that you could get back to the main window after you've finished watching?[code]...
I'm trying to load a local SWF Application in my Air Application via the SWFLoader class. The SWFLoader class is displayed in a new Window. Therefore, i'm trying to resize the window automatically, when the Flash Application is resizing. But here's the problem. The SWFLoader does not get any events when the loader App has been resized.
The Problem seems to be the Sandbox Restrictions. I'm able to call methods in the childSandboxBridge and parentSandboxBridge Objects that i've set in the LoaderInfo of the SWFLoaders content (the loaded SWF Application). But i cannot listen to any ResizeEvents or something like that when i'm resizing the loaded App.
I have a script that is a flash based scroller that takes the information from an xml file:There are scrolling thumbnails, when you click on them it takes you to a new url page. Only it's loading the url in the same window and I'd like for it to load in a blank or new window.Here's what I have now:
Script from FLASH: filename_list = new Array(); url_list = new Array(); title_list = new Array();
I'm building an as3 only web application and want to be able to include external html content within a flash 'window'. In AIR there is the flash.html.HTMLLoader class which makes this possible.
Can anyone point to an example of this being done in a flash as opposed to AIR application?
I have developed a full screen .exe flash file in actionscript 2. It controls physical lights (e.g. turn on and off) by simply calling a URL for each action. However, I don't want the called URL's to open in front of the interface. Is there a way to call a hidden URL in flash?
I have created a popup window in a flex website and I wanted to load a HTML page inside that popup. I tried many ways to do it but that way unsuccessful. Can someone recommend me a approach to get this done?
I have a main swf file. In this file, you can click on a link, which stops a background swf from playing and also loads an external swf into a blank movie clip. All works well except for two problems:
1. The external swf is not loading where it should be, but off kilter. I think this is registration issue, haven't figured out the particulars.
2. More importantly... upon resizing the external swf "disappears" into the ether. I understand it might not really be gone, just somewhere I can't see it. Very twilight zone.
I am building a flash website and on one of the pages you can play a shoot'em up game that I made using flash.
I am doing this by dragging the swf file into the flash website.This works but when the games is activated it does not work propably anymore in the new flash website..
I can't figure out why. The swf works fine on its own in a webpage and has been sitting on a website of mind for years with no probs.
I'm having an issue running a swf within another. It seems to be running an incorrect version of the code. Here is an explanation of the environment.[code]...
I want to learn how to load an external movie into flash AS2. I tried to find for 1 week.But could not find right documents.Simply , have buttons and some other swf files. I want to call them my mainpage screen.However, want to have ability of determining their position.Before this writing , could load, but its positions were different . it right bottom of the page .
I have made a site in flash and left the gallery page till last.I have found a free gallery online and am trying to load the gallery.swf file from it to the stage of my main file.It works but the file does not play. It will just load the first frame and the images wont come up.the way that I am using the loading function is by: loadMovie("gallery.swf", galleryLoader);
galleryLoader is the instance name of my Loader Component found in Flash 8 component panel.Someone said to add: galleryLoader.content ._lockroot = true;
But it makes the gallery small I need it to an exact size.
I am an uber n00b to flash AS3. And it is not my intention to sound like a complete moron, but honestly, I have had a hard enough time figuring out just how to load an external .swf into my main file! add a button within the external .swf which will unload itself and load a new on in its place.
I would like to know if it is possible to load an external movie and add code with ByteArray inside, in order to add anymore properties, functions or why not Sprites?
i load three external swf files into my flash movie, here's the code:
import flash.display.*
var screens:Array = new Array( 'screens/left.swf', 'screens/center.swf', 'screens/right.swf' );
[Code]...
everything works just fine with my three dummy swf's, but when i try to load an swf file that uses some kind of animation (for example a motion tween), the swf isn't displayed any more... is there a way around this?
I'm making a highscore table in flash using AS3, I have successfully got working code that displays the names and the scores but also part of my high score table it needs to display the users country flag. The images for the flags are stored on a remote server.
Now I know how to load in a single image and add it to my movie clip but things get very complicated when I want to load in 20+ by iterating through a loop. I've looked at many examples and just cant adopt the sample code to work for me. Anyway without a further a do here is what I have so far.
So, I have to make a link to an external URL on a flash website, but I want it to appear in my flash website. So like the top banner of my flash website appears on top of the external link so that way users can just click on a link on my top banner and go back to my home page of the site.
I am trying to write a small flash app which will load and display images provided as a query. My flash app works fine when I provide the image path directly in the browser address bar, but it is not working when I do the same using html. Here is the direct link to the flash app: [URL]
Here is the link to the html with which I am trying to invoke the app. [URL]
I know my app is getting invoked and it appears to work fine when I hardcode the image url into the flash app. But the query method just does not seem to be working!
I am loading external *.swfs into a blank movie clip that sits in the main timeline of the master movie using the following code: _root.loadMovie("module1.swf","container");
When the new movie loads, it seems to replace the entire master movie with the new *.swf. I want it to simply sit on top of the master...this is probably pretty obvious, but I appear to be missing something.
I'm trying to use the following piece of code to load variables from an external URL into my flash. It works on one server (development server) but not on my production server. I was just wondering if there's anything to do with server setup that would cause it to fail?
Code: this.params_lv = new LoadVars(); var owner:form1 = this; this.params_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
[Code]....
This exact code works on one server and doesn't on another. On the one that it doesn't work on it always hits the alert('Error: Cannot connect to server'); ..
I'm creating a site for someone who wants to update their news section, however they want the whole site done in flash. I've seen some stuff out there for xml & using .txt files, however i dont think they will fully understand this concept and instead bug the hell out of me for ever and a day.
Is there any way i can load text from say an html file (with them using a wysiwyg editor) or Word (and saving as html) and have that displayed in the window?The other option i guess may be php based, having them use a blog and that goes directly into the space but i have no idea how to do that or which blogs to use (that have been tried, tested and are child proof).
I have a Flash file that will act as a slideshow, the images change when the sound that is to be played with each image is complete (using
soundX.onSoundComplete).
I have a folder for the sounds and one for the images. I have Flash load those assets via XML. I use XML to organize the order of playing the images /sounds.
[Code]...
My question:
Is there a way to not hard-code the image/sound names in XML and instead use it to organize and pull the assets from their respected folders? My goal is to be able to have Flash and XML working as an automated process and all I have to do is add images w/their respected sound files in their folders and never have to open Flash or XML. The Flash and XML would just automatically populate the slideshow per the number of image and sound files I add.
[URL] this is my website and my banner is swf file.... it takes some times to load in a low speed connection... I want to have a preloader for this, which shows the precent or the bytes loaded, total bytes, and also a load bar....

Flash video window will be short-time video, playing like 5-10 seconds then repeats itself... My question is, how could I accomplish to put video window playing certain amount of time then repeats itself, in main window? I need as3 fla example, which could be so useful for me..
I created a Flash application that reads POST data from a form. A user clicks the button, and the data gets posted to the flash app in a new window (_blank). Now takes the data and then spins a wheel to give users a prize. If they don't win a message pops up letting them know they didn't win. If they don't win, clicking the OK button needs to close the browser window.
I've tried a number of solutions and it seems that the only way to get this done is to launch the window with javascript and then use ExternalInterface.call('window.close'); to close the window from within the Flash actionscript (3) because otherwise the window won't close (I've tried just using window.close and window.close() with no luck)
I understand how to launch a new window with javascript, but I don't know how to simultaneously launch and POST data to that window (the Flash application has to have the POST data. Is this the best solution? Is there a way to close a browser window easier than what I'm describing?[URL]
