I have a 'base' MC on the root. On to which I am trying to load several external .swf sequentially. (sn1.swf, sn2.swf...) I see that there is a small lag or a quick flicker when one movie ends and another loads. Is there a way to solve this so the movies load seamlessly?
View 3 RepliesI have a fla file that I've created to load 7 external swf files. I am able to create the code to load one swf file without any trouble but I can't figure out the code to get it load swf #2 when #1 is done, and so on. My code for one is below:
[Code]...
I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.
I'm doing a presentation where it loads different swf files in sequence. I already have a holder with width = 819, height = 614. Right now, I'm loading 1024x768 swf files in it.
This is the code in use:
loadMovie("movie1.swf", holder);
holder._width = 819;
holder._height = 614;
The swf file is loading in the correct position, but when I test play it, the first one [movie1.swf] loads and plays in it's original size [1024x768], then the following one [movie2.swf] loads and plays the way I want it [819x614]... Then when the whole movie loops again, now, the first one [movie1.swf] plays the way I want it to.
I have a main movie with 12 buttons (numbered 1-12), each button loads the relevant swf into a blank 'content' MC on the main stage.I also need to have 1 button called 'start' which plays whichever swf is due next. ie; if you are on swf no. 3 pressing start will load swf no. 4. I guess a simple way would be to have the 'start' button tell the 'content' movie to go to a certain frame which has an action on it to load whichever movie is next... ?
View 2 RepliesNow I'd like to add duplicates of the thumbs so as to appear like a reflection. Created another loader and loaded each file again. (Tried "ldr2.content=ldr1.content" and many other versions of that statement to try and set the second loader's content to be the same as the first's, but could not get anything to work. So I had to resort to loading the thumbs again.)
Did that. Still so far, so good. Even used the "rotationX=180" trick you guys showed me to flip the photos. Set the ldr2's "y" to "ldr1.y - event.target.content.height" I learned from yous as well. Got that working and now have two rows of photo thumbnails. Just looking forward to applying a mask (something else you guys showed me) to make the reflection fade real nice.
HOWEVER, at run time, it loads the photos into the two rows of loaders in a different sequence. They're displayed OK, and it would work except for the fact that the second row of photos, the ones rotated 180 degrees along their X-axes - the "reflections" - are not in the same order as the first row.
how to control the order in which the XML file is loaded so that both rows of photos (thumbs, actually) match up? Do some things just load faster and appear random even though the same XML file is being used?

I've got a sequence of 200 images, which are named image_1, image_2 - image_200. All in the same folder. I need to load one, then the next etc, without any human intervention (the reason is below). The following code works locally but when I upload it, it only loads the last image (image 200). I can see why - as the "for loop" is going "full speed", whilst the loading is not being allowed to complete. I need to say "only upload the next image when the current one has finished loading".
My ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);
holder._x = 20;
holder._y = 50;
//timeline.onEnterFrame = LoadMovie;
function GetFileName(name) {
[Code] .....
My reason for this is I'd like to load them sequentially so that once one has finished loaded, load the next (the idea is to build the cache whilst the viewer reads an introduction - the trouble was the image was too large, so I've broken it into 200 tiles).
I need to upload about 200 images but I want them to load sequentially, i.e. when image1.jpg has uploaded, then I need image 2 to upload etc.
Ive attached the Fla. But all the code below:
My trouble is its going straight through the loop and not actually loading the images.
ActionScript Code:
var i:int = 0;
// create and position empty clips for images
// one for load and when the complete - load into the other

What would be the simplest way of linking a set of 6 swf files to play in sequence, automatically, and without maxing out the master files timeline?
View 5 Repliesway to load an image sequnce to flash in as3, so that the sequence remains in order, on a timeline.
View 6 RepliesI am loading an array of movie clips and adding them to the stage with flash as3, but the problem is that the movie clips are added to the stage as soon as they finish loading, and not in order of there position in the array, so the order on screen appears messed up.

how to code a simple load sequence scene. This is how I had it set up in AS2 -I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a 10 frame shape tween in Scene 1. On the 9th frame, I assigned actionscript that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded, and if it is, gotoAndPlay Scene 2, Frame 1. Then have action in frame 10 of Scene 1 that says to gotoAndPlay scene 1 frame 1 of the current scene. This way scene 1 loops until frame 40 of scene 2 is loaded, at that point, scene 2 frame 1 plays.
How could I set this up in AS3? Here is what I tried - I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a MC that is a simple shape tween that loops in the "Scene 1". I'm trying to assign codein "Scene 1" that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded. If it is, gotoAndplay Scene 2 frame 1. If frame 40 of Scene 2 is not loaded, continure to loop the MC unitil it is. Here is the code I've got for the MC in the "Scene 1"

View 7 RepliesI have multiple "Loader Components" placed in a grid that are working great for loading external JPEG's. However, when I publish my file the "Loader Components" load each image randomly (I assume because they load the smallest file in size first then next largest and so on). How do I load the content of multiple "Loader Components" in a specific sequence?
Here is the script I have so far:
////"Thumb1" is the instance name of the first "Loader Component" in the grid.
Next is "Thumb2", then "Thumb3" and so on
Thumb1.load()
if (Thumb1.percentLoaded >= 1 ) {
Thumb2.load();}
if (Thumb2.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb3.load();}
if (Thumb3.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb4.load();}
if (Thumb4.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb5.load();}
I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf
View 1 RepliesLets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:

seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

View 2 RepliesI created a site using Kirupa's external .swf loading tutorial. Now in one of my externally loaded .swf's, I am loading another external .swf. I've gotten this to work fine, but the second external .swf (loaded into the first) contains buttons that will swap this second external .swf with another external .swf. I can't seem to get the AS references to the variables set up correctly in order to swap the swf's. The initial .swf loads fine, but the button control gets complicated inside it. It sounds rather confusing, so I've included a link to the .fla's and .swf's below.

View 3 Replieseverything was going fine on a website project I've been working on, until yesterday. I'll try to explain the whole scenario first, and I'll put the code in here too so anyone can try to figure out what is wrong. Here's the breakdown of the site:
1) There is a MAIN SWF file that plays an intro and then stops on the last frame with the "Main" Navigation buttons.
2) Inside the Root folder where the MAIN SWF resides, there is another folder called "swfs" which contains six main external navigation pages, as well as another folder called "galleries" which contains additional external swf files for six gallery pages.
3) On one of the layers of the MAIN SWF, there is a movie clip called "mySWFLoadingClip" that the "Main" Navigation buttons load and unload the external swf pages onto. These all work perfectly. The problem start on the next step. This is the code I used for the navigation buttons on the MAIN SWF timeline:
