I have a menu whee you can choose a picture to lead, works great with first selection, but when you choose a different picture it loads over the last picture,I want to substitute the content of that movie clip not to load all the pictures in the same space. I treid to use clear() and removeChild(), but this only works when I choose pic1 then remove that to load pic2, is there an easy way to substitute the content for the new content?

View 1 RepliesWith AS3 and the loader class and all of that, what's the consensus on best method for loading big SWFs? I looked on the forum and saw a mix of either using the loader class and making one multi-frame swf or using a loader swf and a separate content swf.

I have a SWF-Movie written in AS2(I call it AS2-Bridge), which loads another SWF2-Movie. Now if I run the AS2_Bridge.swf everything works fine.But if I load the as2_bridge into the as3-movie - then the as2_bridge fails to load the other content.[code]
View 3 RepliesI'm loading content through an XML file. Most of the content is working correctly. Flash is creating buttons based on some of the content in the XML file, the rest of the content in the XML file is static text and images.
Everything at first loads fine, the buttons all work, they change the text values but for the life of me I can't figure out why its not changing the image. I tried to create a function to remove the first image then load the new one but that didn't work.
Code:
function DisplayInfo() {
clientwork.txtclient.text = this.client_text;
clientwork.txtlink.htmlText = this.link_text;
clientwork.txtdesc.htmlText = this.desc_text;

I have a loader, and it doesn't seem to be loading my content when I am viewing it on my website. However, when I open up my loader.swf in a browser, it loads up my content once it is done loading.
Loader AS3:
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("slideShow09.swf"));

This is really weird and I have no idea what could be causing this.I have this simple Flash site:
http:[url]....The main interface is loaded, and then it starts to preload a few external JPG images.The problem is that with IE it is taking about FOUR times (or even more) the time to load the same pictures with FF. In a slow connection such as a 128K the main interface takes the same time to load either on FF aswel IE - about 5-10 seconds. Then, it starts loading the external pictures - in FF it will take about 20 seconds more and in IE it will take about 80 seconds more. It is clear to me that the problem is not in the site loading itself, but in the contents loading. I can't see what in the browser could be interfering in the SWF, unless that the IE Flash plugin have some known (or unknown!) bug regarding to MovieClipLoader!
The only thing I can have in mind, is that I am not terminating the listeners in the onLoadComplete events, so theoretically they would be keeping the CPU busy even after the pictures finish to load (I spawn about 30 listeners, one for each picture). However, I doubt that this is the reason or else it would make FF slow down too, indeed? Also I noticed that when running the application in the authoring environment (control+ENTER) but loading contents from remote server, it have the same behavior as when loaded within IE (slow loading).
So I know how to load external images via XML, but don't know how to make it so that it can load both movies and images. Right now I can just load images such as .jpg, .gif, and .png.I want to also be able to load movies such as .swf (.avi would be cool if possible but if not, its not a big deal).So basically how do I change the below code so I can also load a movie if I wanted to, instead of the image.Here is my code:
XML code:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I need to create a movie that will look into some directories and display the images he founds there (or text).

little stuck on a project, need as much help as possible. I am creating a building directory for a touch screen kiosk app. this kiosk will have a virtual keyboard that i have created with an input text field, which hopefully will search a single file on the server that controls these kiosks. Then display the search results in a dynamic text field. What i would like to do is create a swf that my employer may enter there own information such as thier name, title, department, suite, and some comments... then click some sort of button that will save the information on the server... then on the kiosk end the user can type in a name, department, suite number to have the data display on the kiosk. i am using cs3/as3. i have created the virtual keyboard, and the data entry app that allows my employer to save data to the server, but for the life of me, i cannot, get my kiosk end to retrieve the data.
View 3 RepliesI have been working on a file for a while now and I am trying to load an external swf into a scrollpane. The external swf gets all its content from an xml file (there is nothing on the stage, it's all done through as3) My problem is that when I load the swf into the scrollpane I don't get the scroll bars and most of my content is cut off. I have tried setting the scroll policy to auto, and true, neither helped. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

View 7 RepliesIf I have an HTML splash page that has a embedded SWF consisting of a preloader (for itself) at the start of its timeline, then a 5 second hold (no new Flash material), and then have a number of images on HTML page in a <div style="display:none;visiblity:hidden;">, all set with sizes of 1x1:2) Does the SWF get priority with the download, or are both the SWF and images given the same download priority?3) How would I preload (on the splash page) a second SWF that is used in the inner page? Would I embed it as usual, but use the CSS display:none, and set the size as 1x1, as I do with images?
4) Is there a better way to preload the SWF, where the main (splash) SWF actually loops while it downloads the second swf? Would I be loading that second SWF into the splash SWF on a different document level? What ActionScript commands would I use for that? loadMovieNum()? Would I put the incoming second SWF off stage, or set its visibility to hidden?I figured I'd preload some of the interface/common graphics for the inner HTML page that the visitor is brought to after the initial Flash splash page. Even without a preloader that would loop until all the content is loaded, I figured I could just have the splash page hold for a bit, and give the hidden <div> images a chance to load in the background. Obviously, using that method wouldn't guarantee that all the imags load, since it's unmonitored, but would at least give them a bit of a head start
My project has about 400 independent files. It was originally created in AS2 using the following script.
on (release){loadMovie("A_002.swf", _root);}
This same script is used every time I need to load the following .swf movie.I would like to use a similar (equivalent) script using AS3. (Please note that the objective is not to load dynamic content into a particular file as when creating a "Gallery". My objective is for the new loaded movie to applear in its own screen. At the same time the file on scree shall unload completely or disappear.
I have a flash file that I want to embed on a webpage, however, I want it to load when the user clicks on it (which will run the preloader) - (like clicking play on a youtube video)It's one flash file that loads in XML data and is graphically heavy.I'm not sure if the only way to do it is to load the flash file through another swf, i.e., flash container -> click flash container to load flash file with preloader.

I am using a flash banner to control the navigation between about 6 different pages. However, I would like the banner to stay the same while the different pages load around it. The banner is in the same place and has a short animation before displaying the nav controls. After clicking a link, the swf starts over again when the new page loads. Is there any way to embed the swf so that it stays constant (both on the webpage and on its own timeline) while the different html content loads beneath it? There are a few examples of this that I have found but I cannot figure out how to do it, for example [URL].

View 0 RepliesI have made an application which loads large pictures and videos (1920*1080 px).
- Picture component is a swf movie that I load with a Loader and feed him with the path of the picture I need
- Video component is a custom actionscript class that uses Video class.
Before to create any of these components, I display an animated sprite (a wheel to suggest a current loading). Then I create this component and load the content. When the content is loaded, then I add it to the display list and remove the wheel sprite.As these actions take a while, the wheel is visible for 1 to 2 seconds. My problem is that during this loading operation (by a Loader or Instantiation), the animated Sprite is not running properly and smoothly, like if Flash was loading the pictures and videos synchronously.Is there a way to make an animated sprite running properly while I am loading a swf or loading a video through the instantiation of a class, means running something asynchronously?
