I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.
View 6 Repliesi am having a main.swf which has a movieclip in the form of a window. it's instance name is window_mc. this window has an empty movieclip called load_mc and i am trying to load another swf called login.swf into window_mc.load_mc using
window_mc.load_mc.loadMovie("login.swf");
both main and login swfs are having resolution 1000x780.. but wen it is loaded as said above, the texts inside the loaded swf looks very large. the resolution looks as if they are different.. i haven't tried loading movieclips much. but wen i load a swf into an empty movieclip, it wrks perfectly fine...
I have a flash file which calls up a url say [URL] which is caught and used up by a python/django code and it creates and redirects to an XML. which is loaded by flash, to get values from the database.
The setup works fine when outside facebook, but as soon as I put the setup in facebook, it stops loading the XML completely.
So what I am trying to do is only working in IE not in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. I am using the latest browser versions with the latest flash version.[code]but it did not work. It removed the video from IE and still didn't play in any other browser.I have not tried an absolute URL to where it is stored on the web but I would like to keep the paths relative if possible.Also I tried changing the = sign to %3D (ascii representation I think???) as a forum suggested but it also did not work.May I ask if any of you have had this problem before? Why would it work in IE but not any other? I have other flash videos that dont use flash vars that play fine in every browser. It is just the swf that dynamically tries to load the flv that is the problem. This tells me that the flash player in every browser is working so I know it is not that either.

I am loading an XML from another server and it's my understanding that I need a crossdomain.xml or use System.allowDomain().I opted for the latter to have more flexibilty, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm working on a program that calls a php script and then loads an xml. The program works exactly how I want in the IDE but unfortunately when it is on the server it doesn't work correctly (of course ). Anyways so i've been trouble shooting for quite some time and my guess is that the problem arises somewhere before the php call (when i make it, the variable is shown as undefined by the script). I use navigateToURL in order to test this and the script received the variable when in IDE but not from browser.

So I have this slideshow, meant to just cycle through 50 or so images, loading each up for a few seconds before it goes away. It obtains the information for the images from a database.For all my testing, it works as it should in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari on Windows.Yet I'm repeatedly told by someone that it does not work at all on Safari on Mac, but instead just forever shows the loading movieclip I have in.Sadly, I don't have a Mac and I don't know anyone, save for this person, who owns one, thus I'm unsure what is going on, let alone how to solve it.You can view it there. I'm just at a loss for why it's having issues. Is it just a single case, or is it Safari on Mac in general, or perhaps Mac itself in general?

We just moved FMS onto a new server and the fms seems to be working fine. But when I go to load a flv in flash using the component inspector i type in the content path for where the flv is located on the fms server and it just keeps saying 'Failed to load flv'. If i type the content path for the location on the old server it loads up fine. I honestly dont know what the problem is as everything is the same as it was on the old server just a different server with different IP address.

I have am trying to make a pre-loader I guess you would call it for a flash movie with a MP3 embedded in it.The total size of the flash movie is 4MB.Below is what I have in frame 1 actionscript:
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, Loading);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, FinishedLoading);[code]....
Instead of 10%, 20%, 30%, ......and so on, I get just one dot, then another, then another, .....Once the reach four, the dots disappear and it starts all over again.Until the movie is loaded.

I am trying to load a .swf using loadMovie(). The .swf has a Flash video on it. All I get is a flashing FLV icon. Is it because my original file is Actionscript 2 and the swf I'm trying to load is Flash 3? Or what?

The "page loaded" trace is being displayed, so must load the swf but not show it.
I can't even see the preloader. I also tried a very simple swf file with just some shapes and 1 frame but still no luck.
I have a presentation that has 3 chapters. I've built functionality so that you can load each individual SWF chapter with a loader called singleLoader. I've also built in functionality so that at any time, you can hit the down arrow and it will unload those movies. I have a separate button that allows you to loop through all 3 chapters. They'll just play one after the other. The problem with this approach is that there are 2 different loaders and if I unload one of the chapters and try to start the looping, I can hear the audio, but I can't see the movie.Here's the first loader:
Code:
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);[code].......
My preloader works fine only for the first time, then after it not works ? I got 3 buttons on the stage which are calling 3 external swfs. I am getting this Error ?

I'm having trouble with this script. I have an external text file, from which all of the text on the page is loaded. I also have a series of thumbnails, but I need to have different numbers on each page, so I figured I'd put the number of thumbnails into the text file too and then run a loop to create the thumbnails and buttons dynamically. The loop works fine, until I try to use the value I have loaded from the text file. I think it is something to do with it being in a separate function, but I have tried making it _global.counter, I have tried putting the whole for() loop inside the myData.onLoad function. Basically, I have tried everything I can think of and still the loop does not run when the counter value is specified externally.

View 4 RepliesI'm a total begginer in flash and action script, I do have some knowledge in other programming languages.By trying to help a friend I added a contact form in his company website, that was made by someone else.his site is full flash with a index frame that loads several pages.After I built the new contact.swf and tested locally and also hosted by accessing it straight from the browser and embeded I tried to replace it with the old contact.swf that had no contact form.During the tests, everything was fine but when included in the site the form is not functioning.The form has a few rules that prevent empty fields with a green text warning. when I access it embeded separatelly in a web page it works, when I access it loaded by index.swf it does nothinh even if I press the submit button.So I assume the problem is in the index.swf action script.the button that loads the contact page has this code:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
