The trouble is that when I click in the button in the first film, the "main.swf", the "album.swf" is loaded into level 10, but the images and description does not load. Seems to be here some parsing problem between flash and xml, but I can't solve it.
View 8 RepliesI am developing a photo gallery using an XML file as the structure. As the document class I have a class called PhotoGallery:-

Once the parsing is finished here I want to call a function back in the PhotoGallery class to start setting up the PhotoGallery. Is this possible, or am I even going about this in the right way? I am not sure I am using classes in the correct
Not sure how it works, but the kind of gallery I'm looking to put together is similar to the one found in the portfolio on this site:Im not sure but I understand that while the thumbnail loads it's also loading its cooresponding image into the gallery as well. Just curious how they are creating that loader, where you see the picture while it's loading.
View 0 Repliesloading var into different swf in different level.
I got the index.html to hold navigation.swf, navigation.swf loads login.swf in level 10 then I got an var coming from the database but login.swf cant receive it (it shows nothing). So I try to use index.html to hold the login.swf then it works, does anyone know why login.swf can't receive the var? If I load into different swf in different leve, does it mean I have to specify the level for the var?
Top level = main.swf bottom level = pagexx.swf (xx = 1,2,3,etc)
Problem: When loading another swf from the main.swf into main.swf, it works fine. But now I have a problem of loading page2.swf from page1.swf which is now opened in main.swf. I've tried using loadmovienum but they overlap each other instead of page1.swf disappearing. Hope I explained the situation well enough. Here's the script from main.swf used to load page5.swf (where all the 5 = page5).
on(rollOver) {
if(_root.link<>5) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}

Code:
thumb03.onRelease = function(){
image_holder.loadMovie("images/03.jpg");
submenu01_holder.attachMovie( "submenu01", "submenu01_new",this.getNextHighestDepth());
getURL("./htm/03.html", "tracker");
};
So I'm working on a portfolio and I'm trying to load an image with a submenu on top of it that will let you click through a couple different related images. However, right now the submenu keeps loading underneath the image, so the buttons are there and you can see it a split second before the other image loads over the top. I tried manually putting in levels for the image and submenu and no luck.
Im having trouble with this script again. I need to load a movie on the 2nd leve this is the script here.
// Time value, in milliseconds, after which, failing any mouse movement, an action is to occur.
numMouseTimeoutMS = 30000;
// Define what is to happen should the mouse be moved.

I am loading a swf into a level, but need to use actionscript to manipulate its location in the root movie. This is my code:
stop ();
loadMovieNum ("logo_sm.swf", 1);
_level1._x = 300;
// whatever you want for upperleft x
_level1._y = 300;
// whatever you want for upperleft y
yet the loaded swf continues to load in its native position, rather than at any coordinate which I specify. It is riding in the upper left hand corner, even tho here I am indicating a much different position.
Does anyone know how I can load a movie into level1 that has sounds embeded in it and be able to play them? I would like to load the sounds using code on the timeline. I don't understand why my method is not working.Here is what I tried.I have a movie that I am loading into level 1.My sounds are inside the movie that I load into level1.So I ran a test and if I load the movie into level0 the following code works fine and plays the sound.[code]But then when I load the move into level1 and change the code to the following, it deosn't work.[code]
View 3 RepliesI am using levels for this project to allow transparency transitions between swf files as they load. I created two variables:levelvar=5;removevar=(levelvar - 2)The external swf files load into _level0.levelvar and removevar prevent the root file from unloading. All is well except on one button I want it to load the swf at a particular frame. I tried this:
button.onRelease = function() {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", _level0.levelvar);
gotoAndPlay ("_level0.levelvar" 52);

I have a swf file ("myfile.swf") which i want to load using preloader.
I referred many tutorials for preloader but problem is I want to load "myfile.swf" at _root level as I have referenced many movieclips in it as for example _root.mc1.mc2
I tried following but may be i am mistaking somewhere...
1) I used preloader in frame 1 and frame 2 and swf content in frame 3 but the file is so huge that the preloading almost starts at around 69% or so
2) I kept preloader in scene 1 and swf content in scene 2. But i cannot see the preloader or i can see at 98% or 99%
3) I used preloader in "pre.swf" and used loadMovie() to load "myfile.swf" at _root. But as i m loading "myfile.swf" at _root so preloader's code is overwritten and so i m not able to see preloader
My "myfile.swf" is very complicated file and so i cannot change all the movieclips which i have referenced as "_root.mc1.mc2".
how do I load an external .swf files in order for them always to load on top of the one loaded previously. I've tried to put all of them in the same level but the transition is abrubt. I want the transition to be smooth and each .swf file to load on top most level.
View 3 RepliesI have figured out how to randomly load and fade in poems from text files. Only, after trying to add additional functionality, namely, an index from which visitors may choose a poem to load, I have run into problems. To put it simply, I can't figure out how to modify the code he provided to load text onto lvl0 so far. Here's some sample code I placed on the first button, which is an mc inside an mc (and that mc is placed on the stage, which is a separate swf loaded on an upper level by lvl0):
Code:
on (release){
var poem = new LoadVars();
poem.onLoad = function(ok) {
[code]....
Here's the url for the files [URL] Main.swf is the main site, which provides a button labeled "INDEX". PoemIndex.fla is the source for the swf loaded when the user clicks the INDEX button. "mcButtons" holds all the buttons for each individual poem (wish I didn't have to hard code all of it), and I've also provided "poem1.txt", for testing purposes.
My problem is on my stage i have a loader_mc invisible movieclip that i want to load .swfs into using addchild
Problem is, everytime i click on a button that addchild the .swf keeps adding ontop like layers, therefore in my function button i tried to removechild before addchild but i will keep getting error #1009
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I was wondering if anyone can teach me any other better ways how to load movies like in as2, on the same level when the button is clicked, the previous .swf is kicked aside and the new one will load.
I have a button that is a few levels down in movie clips. When It is pressed, it is supposed to load diamonds.swf. It does this, but not on the first press. On the first press the _root time line goes to and plays "fade," but doesn't execute the rest of the script.

Is there a way to clear a loaded swf from a level without loading something in its place? I just want to be able to clear out levels that aren't in use anymore.
View 4 RepliesHow could I make a preloader with multiple levels in as2? Should I use loadMovieNum or the MovieClipLoader class?
I want to make a main progress bar, that represents the loading of all the levels, not a progress bar for each level.
I've got main time line as Main.swf (level 0) and few external swf files: Message_01, Message_02, Message_03 etc.By the end of the main time line there is a key frame with the script (AS2).The script should call randomly one of the external swf and load it to level 2.

I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.

I have called main.swf into a container in index.swf.
myMCL.loadClip("main.swf","container"); is an action on my Index.fla timeline.
I have my navigation on index. (i wanted it to go on main, but the nature of the animation meant it had to go on index)
I need to call "home.swf" into "main.swf" from the navigation button in Index.swf.
When I had the navigation on "main.swf" this was my code to call "home.swf" into the page.

("home") is the label name where the preloader is for home.swf

Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
