ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading 5 Different SWFs In Order Then Display In Loop?
Aug 13, 2010
Currently I am trying to load 5 different swfs in order. Everytime a button is selected I want to move to the next swf. And once I reach 5 the next image should be 1 (again - loop). I started with a code like this on frame 1 in "scene 1":
Code:
gotoAndPlay(50);
Stage.align = "T";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.j = 1;
where "_root.j = 1" ----- "1" is the first swf loaded. But it was stuck on 1.
My newbie skills figured this out so to avoid zero, but it's random. And things repeat too closely.
Code:
gotoAndPlay(50);
Stage.align = "T";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.j = random(4)+1;
My Question: What can "_root.j" equal so that 1,2,3,4,5 cycles? I have to work within these parameters cause this template is deep.

Is it possible without looping to control which of 12 or so external swfs loads first when they all have to load on the same frame of the main movie? For example, we have a main movie which creates classes where the class is itself in an external movie. When we load locally, the movies all load fast enough that the classes are created correctly, however when we move to loading from the server some of the class movies are not loaded into their levels before the main movie tries to create the class with of course the result being the class is not generated and the movies do not function correctly.

It could be that using loops is the only way to do what we want, however ever the optimist I'll ask the question anyways.

loading 2 external swfs into one main file using 1 preloader, I have figured out how to get the preloader to handle the correct # of bytes loaded and such but my 1st swf I want to load onto the stage is a video file and I want it as the background but I don't want it to start until after they are both (the video and main file - 2 external swfs) loaded and then I want to start the video and place it on the stage first, then place the main swf on the stage.
I can get the order right if I place them into my load complete function but then my buttons don't work on the main file.
Here is the code:
var bytesLoadedVidBG:Number = new Number();var bytesTotalVidBG:Number = new Number();var loader0:Loader = new Loader(); // load video BGvar loadedSWF0:Object;loader0.load(new

I've spent days working on this code, it seems so simple, but yet it never works. All I'm trying to do is make a loop automatically load person0.swf through person4.swf in the same directory. I've got it set-up so that I can change a single number and it loads up to person[whatever-the-new-number-is].swfCurrently it loads the first movie and thats it. I also get this error: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Menu()"Here is the code
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

Since my earlier post might not have been clear I have made some changes to the uploaded example Fla. I am struggling with the delay from the xml slideshow in this tut: [URL] Everything works fine when publishing the swf from the slideshow flas. The problem happens when loading these swfs into an mc of another fla (the "mockup fla" in my example) The example mockup swf loads 2 slideshow swf�s . Swf 1 contains 3 jps and swf 2 contains 1 jpg. When loading swf 1 first, the only jpg for that slideshow is loaded (yes, only loading one pic for a slideshow seems strange but this is just to clarify the issue). Everything works fine so far. Now I load the the first slideshow swf with the corresponding button. The 3 jpg�s load and loop with a delay like planned. All good. Now load the 2n�d swf again....... now the single jpg always loop reloads. Why is this happening?

This was super easy using AS2. I had 2 'loader' movie clips placed on the stage and simply used the loadmovie to bring up the external swfs. How would i accomplish this using AS3? I simply need one movie to display on one side of the stage, and another on the other side of the stage. do i still use these 'loader' movie clips?

I'm doing a flash movie in as3 where there are two or three swfs. What I want to do is play them in a sequential order, wherein when one finishes, the second one starts. The swfs are called movie1, movie2, etc. The best way is probably to use an array and load swfs into the 'overall' fla file that will play them. I use a variable called movieNum that keeps track of each movie. I am also using a Loader command which is just called loader. My loadSWF function works fine, but my eFrame function is flawed. I cannot find a way to recognize the end of the last frame of movie1.
var request:URLRequest;
var loader:Loader;
var myMovies:Array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf"];
//my movie array
var movieNum:int = 0;
//start at 0
function loadSWF():void
[Code] .....
So, two or more SWFs called movie1, movie2 etc., and having movie2 start after movie1 finishes in an overall fla.

I was wondering if there was a way to specify the order in which I load in external swfs. I have my main swf which loads in music, navigation and content, they all load at the same time, say i wanted to load in the music swf after the content has finished loading, how would i do that?

I've got a Flash file that displays a series of .swfs one after the other and I'm trying to figure out how to encorporate a preloader into this script that takes into account the fact that I'm randomly selecting which of those .swfs to display first.
Here's what the attached script does so far:
1. Call external XML file and put .swf path names into an array.
2. Randomly select one of those .swfs to display first.
3. Once that .swf movie has played through (each one is about 6 seconds long) --OR-- if the "next" button is clicked, load the next .swf file.
4. When we've reached the last .swf file in the list, start back at the beginning of the list.
I have looked at a BUNCH of preloader scripts but just haven't grasped actionscript enough to know how to encorporate them into my file.

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

My client has approx 12 different presentation .swf's all with a beginning, middle and an end (phew!). I need to build an interface that views those 12 individual presentations as thumbnails on a single page and allows my client to click and drag whichever ones they wish to use into a separate little container above and in-doing so create a new required running order (left to right) each time they use my interface... so that once they have decided that running order they can somehow use the result for their required presentation. They will be using this interface ongoing throughout the year for various presentations all that will require maybe just a few of those individual swf's in different orders.

Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?

I'm trying to make a bit stream across my page when you mouseover a button. The bit stream can be quite long, so I wouldn't think to do it by hand. I'm wondering how I would go about making the stream start out, and how I can get each bit to follow the other right behind it. (They're about 10 pixels wide). I can get the for loop to duplicate the clips, but I can't seem to get them in order.

I have an array, and, when I use the for...in loop to add each element to a string in order, it appears to list them in descending rather than ascending order. I want to know if this is what its supposed to do and how i might be able to make it go in the right order.

I have a series of mc's that I'm adding to the a display list of "theContainer". This is a "canvas" I'm using to drag mc's around on to make various pictures.I've set up my code so I can click any mc in that list and make it "selected". I can then, with controls outside "theContainer", change the selected clip's scale or alpha, etc.I'd like to set up 2 buttons outside that display list so I can change the stacking order of those clips in "theContainer".So if I add clip "a" to the display list, then add clip "b" to the display list, then add "c" and "d" and "e and "f" to it, I want to be able to move any of those clips forward or backward.First I'd need to learn what the index is of the clip I want to move up or down in the display list.[code]That's my problem, I can't know what the index is, or how to get a property to find it.I'm looking for a way to "get the clip's index" then to "make the index, the current index + 1", to move it up in the display list."setChildIndex( dispObj, index ) would be nice if I could know what the index was and then add +1 to it like this:setChildIndex(clip, current index + 1);

I've been working on this catalog system for awhile now, and have it working almost perfectly. But one problem still remains...
I'm dynamically loading content (jpgs & text) into a scrollpane from an xml file. It should display an image, and then below it some associated text. My problem is that when the content loads in, the first jpg isnt visible. I'm pretty sure its there because all the other jpgs load. What I think is happening is that the scrollpane is displaying the text below the 1st jpg at the very top of the scrollpane, which leaves the jpg above the scrollpane and thus not visible.
When I first started this catalog. I was loading the content into an MC I had manually created and was attaching to the scrollpane via attachMovie. I had the same problem as above in this scenario as well...and to correct that what I did was make a box that went around the entire are that the jpgs and text loaded into. This allowed the jpg to show up.
But now that I'm dynamically creating both the holder MC and the textfield, I'm back to losing the 1st jpg image. It seems to me that the scrollpane needs something above the jpg holder MC for it to be displayed.
Here is the code I'm using to load and create everything.
Here's the code:
[AS]tFormat = new TextFormat()
tFormat.font = "Verdana";
tFormat.size = 10;

I'm creating my first game in Flash mx. Its a conveyor belt game where toys move from left to right. There are several boxes located underneath the belt. The user has to drag and drop each toy into its correct box. I want each toy to continuously come out in a random order. (1 idea) randomly select movie clips from the library? Each movieclip representing a toy.

I have a button I am creating from 2 movieclips in the library. One is the button body (shape converted to MC). The 2nd is a series of button logo PNG's for an additional visual button state change.I add the logo MC with addChild to the button body. Then I add the button body to display/stage container. ll is layered correctly.If I add alpha or transform the color to the button body, it goes to the top - covering the button logo.Not applying the color or alpha to the button body and applying a color or alpha to the button logo has not effect (displays correctly).

When using Loader class to load display objects (bitmaps, SWFs...) from remote URLs, is there any way for them to be instantiated (referenced as we know, by Loader::content property) as some user specified valid subclass? For example if I had a class that extended a Bitmap, is there any way for the loaded object to be of this class?
