ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External SWF Headers With Transitions

Apr 1, 2004

I've been using Claudio's tutorial titled "Preloader & Transitions for Dynamic Files" and everything is working okay except for one minor detail. First off, what i am doing is loading external SWF headers on my site. Each of these headers are animated. Once the Transition Shutter Mask closes and loads the next header, it starts playing the external header animation immediately rather than waiting for the Transition Shutter Mask to fully open and then start playing the animation.

So as a result, users are missing the beginning parts of each animation. Also, I noticed that after I uploaded it to test the preloading, I missed more of the Header Animations due to the loading time difference. This means that I can not just insert the exact amount of blank frames, in which the shutter takes to close, to the beginning of each header animation.

[URL] for smooth transitions between externally loaded swf's. I've search for such an in depth tutorial all over the net and was unable to find any until I came across yours. I need to modify the code however to suit the need of the current site I am working on. My site contains background images ans a button loads an external swf in an empty movie clip ontop of these images. The cliemt would like the end user to have the option of collapsing the box that is laoded to allow the full backgroung image to be seen. I am having troubles modifying the script. Any suggestions? Here is the link to the website asit currently exists. [URL] The "x" that appears in the top right hand corner needs to collapse the box, preferribly with the same animation sequence.

[URL]..the opening squence i suppose it's all just movie tweens between files, but how is this thing done, when you click a button, the middle screen/part of the site, has a transition effect, loads, and there is a new page! i know how to do the transitions, and the loading bar, but how do i exactly tell my button, where to load an external movie file!...

basically, i want it when somone goes to the site, the while site opens, there are transition effects, and three different movies open at three different spots on the site...just like it happens at www.void.com when you enter their site, they got the main window, and the botton right and left windows!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading The Image Binary (after HTTP Request Headers Are Removed) As A Bitmap In Flash?

Sep 11, 2010

I'm building an image viewer that has violent content (video games), and so it requires users to enter their birthdays. Problem is that because of company policy, I can't expose any of the source images being viewed in the event that someone might use their resources/net tabs (or just sniff the request) and get the direct link to the image. (I know that they could screenshot it, but that's out of anyone's control and not something I'm worried about.)Is there anyway to inherently mask loaded resources (images)? I've been using sockets, which is great, but there's also the problem of actually loading the image binary (after HTTP request headers are removed) as a Bitmap in Flash.

IDE :: Transitions Between External SWFs?

Jan 30, 2009

I read the tutorial about transitions between external swfs and started implementing it! So as a good and ordonate guy that I am, I put the index.html in the root, created a style folder for the style and a folder for the swfs. I was struggling about one hour to find out why it wouldn't work, to find out that if I move the html inside with the swfs, being in the same directory, it worked fine!

I have had a look at the tutorial which differs a bit and I'm a little confused (very new to actionscript!). I have put on by 'home' button if 'left menu':

ActionScript 3.0 :: Fade Transitions With External Swf's?

Jul 7, 2009

I've worked on this for a week with no success. I have a main index.swf with a nav menu loading external swfs into a movieclip for each section. I would like to simply fade out the loaded swfs into the new one, in the same moviclip. I don't know if this is possible because upon loading the new swf's they wipe away the loaded swf completely. I've tried

contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete); event listeners to make the loaded swf fade after the new one is completed but same deal, the loaded swf is wiped clean and I can't get a fade transition between the two. My code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Transitions Between External Swf's Tutorial

Oct 3, 2006

Great tutorial, works excellent. My only issue is how to do this on multiple levels? I'm trying to get an external swf open within an external swf. I know this probably isn't necessary but it does keep the site easily managed and very dynamic. It works on the main swf, and if i test it on the the linked page it works as well, just not together. I orginally thought that maybe it was the conflicting container names/variables so I made sure to change those. Maybe the solution would be to use a common container?

Please download my sample fla here: [URL] (note, not all linked swf's are included, just enough to get the point across. The issue is with the sub-menu within "Information").

ActionScript 2.0 :: Transitions Of External Swfs?

Apr 21, 2007

I am using this scripting for my website. [URL] I have used it on other websites successfully, but the website I'm working on now is a little more complicated and the scripting is not working correctly.

Before I had simple buttons on the root level, but now I have complex rollover buttons in side movieclips playing on the root level. When I go to test the site in Flash 8, it works fine, but then when i publish the files and open it in a browser, it is not loading the external swfs into the main swf. All the files are in the same folder as the main swf and I am not using any other folders. attaching and transitioning of external swfs?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Transitions Between External SWFs - Looks Crap As The Size Of External SWFs Grow?

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Transitions Between Buttons Of Ext. Swfs?

Sep 2, 2010

I would like to play out a movie that has been loaded (if it has been loaded) when another button is clicked.

It is my understanding, I can do this by adding AS to the SWF file at the point I want to play it out (labeled "init_out") and variables to my base file.

Summary:
btn_GD
btn_IL
btn_CN

btn_CN plays a transitional animation ("init_in") which changes the base of the scene.

Once btn_GD or btn_IL has been clicked btn_CN needs to play ("init_out") in an external swf to return the scene so they can play their movies, which are also external.

My second problem is (on a different button), I have a loaded Movie Clip which unloads itself, but once it is unloaded I would like it to show another (internal) and/or a static page.

This is a transitional animation which plays and it does not go to another scene, but shows a different "flat" of the file which contains buttons returning one back to the main scene.

Though it's exeternal I'm not opposed to having that movieclip remain up as long as I'd be able to have it click and return back to the main menu section.

Summary: btn_CT needs to both load an external SWF, unload said SWF, and arrive at mc_CT.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Transitions Sequences Between Externally Loading Swf's

Aug 27, 2009

I was just working on this tutorial: [URL]

It seems to work fine when I uploaded it to my testing site. It loads the correct swf and I can click on my menu link (the only other functional button with the action scripting) to go to another swf and it transitions correctly. Here is the problem:

After clicking on the menu link and trying to click back on the home link (containing the same swf as what initially loads) to redisplay the first swf, nothing happens. Then the menu button is unfunctional after that as well.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get transitions sequences between externally loading swf's in my flash site.

Create An Slideshow With External Images And Transitions?

Aug 7, 2009

Previously I've done all the monkeywork by hand on the timeline, but now I need to make an automated slideshow for an image portfolio that collects pictures from an external folder (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc...) so I can just upload variants of the image without having to change the flash file each time.

I'm also hoping to include fading transitions and an easy way to change the amount of time each image is on screen.
