ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Swf And Text File Into A Loader?
Apr 26, 2011
I want my product button to click on it, to load an external sfw into a loader and the text of this external swf too. The text is loading good when i click the swf file on its own, but with the index page not. when i click the product button the loader is loading only the swf file of product but not the text on it. The text is coded to the product swf.This is the code of index Page which i want to load the product page:
stop();
productMenu_btn.onRelease = function(){
myLoader.contentPath = "contents/lingerie/lingerie_page.swf"
}
and this is the code of the product page which is loading on the loader :
stop();
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){

I am trying to import a SWF file into a custom loader and then treat the loaded SWF file as a MovieClip object. The code for the functionality can be seen below.
public function loadMyMovie(movie:String)
{
var now:Date = new Date();
var rnd:String = "?randomize=" + now.time;
[Code].....
When I do this I get the following error.
"Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."

I'm creating a flash portfolio, I have small image icons, each icon when clicked on loads a diff. swf file, image gallery that loads bigger external images. I would like a different external text file to load every time a diff. image gallery loads, for some reason I cant find the answer to my problem,
I would like to add some actionscrpt to each icon/button so it will load a new txt file when clicked on.
(each image icon is a button and has the instance name of icon 1, 2 etc.)
the code goes like this;
stop();
menuHolder.loadMovie("retail/photoViewer.swf")
loadMovie ("retail/photoViewer.swf", "_root.menuHolder");

Code:name=Kirupa Chinnathambi&email=blah@blah.com&location=EarthI've tried to make it neater by putting a few line breaks here and there. But it causes the movie to not work. So, is there any way to not write the text in an external file in one super long and disgusting line? It's quite hard to edit the text when you have many variables.Question 2How do you use the basic HTML text formatting functions in an external .TXT file? I'm talking about stuff like:
Code:
<br>, <p>, and etc...

I'm trying to get an external text file to load into my movie. I read the tutorial about the scrollbar w/ external text file but it's not really clear and it seems somewhat out dated... I'm anxiously awaiting ASDG2 coming out on December 19th. What would the code look like to load a text file called "theText.txt" into a text field called "theField_mc" created with AS itself attached to a mc called "theMC_mc" created with createEmptyMovieClip(); ? I'm trying to do this %100 AS, no instance manually put on the stage.

I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.

I have to modify an existing flash 8 movie (not created by me) which uses as2, and is composed of multiple movieclips. One such movieclip holds a textbox (static) which however needs to be updated frequently to show latest news, and because of this now I have to make this movieclip's textbox to read texts from an external file instead, a text file to be precise. How to proceed with this in Flash 8 AS2, whether I need to create a new layer for the as code or add it directly to the movieclip's layer, and also the as 2 code itself, as I tried the following but it is returning an error that cannot load the text file, I also change the textbox from static to dynamic and gave it an instance name Text1 (I once tried something like this in flash cs4 and it worked fine, but in flash 8 its not working.
Code:
var timeStamp:String = "&timeStamp=" + new Date().getTime();
var noCacheUrl:String = "?noCache=" + Math.random() + timeStamp;
var myLVars = new LoadVars();
myLVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success){
_root.mcNews.Text1.text = this.VarEn;
}}
myLVars.load("News_En.txt"+noCacheUrl);

So I have a dynamic text field that is loading an external .txt file with html coding in it.I can get the text to load and display properly, however I now want to make a custom scrollbar and I have no clue how to even get it to work.I've tried a few things and just can't figure it out. I want to make a custom one instead of using the component one. It doesn't even have to be a traditional scrollbar, I would much rather just use an up and down arrows. In the past I've just used buttons and placed AS directly onto them.The code that is loading the text into the text box is: (I don't know if that will help at all but I'm posting it anyways)[code]

I am attempting to load text from an external .txt file into dynamic text fields using AS2When you click on a button (named forward and back), I want the next &-denoted "news" item to repopulate the current dynamic text boxes to replace the first bit of info.This is what I have so far, but I'm stumped. I used the trace to make sure the button is "clicking" (it is), but I can't get the integer to go up a number and repopulat the fields.
var newsData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
newsData.load("data.txt");
newsData.timeline = this;

I am loading an external array from a text file like this.

I then trace fileURL.length and I getting a number much greater then my fileURL array length.
The array I am loading into flash looks like this. firstName0=zzzzz&lastName0=zzzzz&phoneNumber0=zzzz zzz firstName1=zzzzz&lastName1=zzzzz&phoneNumber1=zzzz zzz Is there a problem with using myArray.length for an external file?

when I run the code there aren't any errors stopping it from compiling correctly. However when I click on my buttons i get an error saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I'm guessing that I'm passing the variable off through the function incorrectly. I'd like it pass a string though so that I can pass the name of the file to load.
ActionScript Code:
function contentScreen(mcName):void {
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mcName");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I've recently made the switch from as2 to as3 and am still struggling to get my head around one aspect in particular. I've managed to load one external swf into a blank file via the script
import LoadDisplayObject;
var loader:LoadDisplayObject = new LoadDisplayObject("button_01.swf", true);
loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0,
[Code]....
.....however I'm struggling with the script to make a swfs load into a space when one of my 3 buttons is clicked....
My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed.
I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can't find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
Any help much appreciated...thanks in advance.

I've devised a preloader using the ui loader and progress bar components in flash cs3. The goal being to load an external .swf into the uiloader and that has been achieved. I'm having problems with the scaling now. In my code I have set the content scaling to "true" and that isn't supposed to cause distortion of any type but it does. It squishes my external .swf in width wise.
HTML Code:
var imageURL:String = "portfolio.swf";
var imageURLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL)
uiLoader.scaleContent = true;
uiLoader.load(imageURLRequest);
progressBar.source = uiLoader;

I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days and couldn't find a solution and Im sure its something I have completely overlooked on my part. I'm attempting to load in an external swf in my fla file using this custom loader class I created. I keep receiving this error in an attempt to load the swf, which is in the same directory as my fla file that is loading it:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.

Using the MovieClipLoader class, what is the difference between loading the external files into a Loader Component or into an empty movie clip. Will one be quicker? They both worked for me, but I've read using the Loader Component is better. Can anyone confirm this? I would think that avoiding components would make things faster/less file size.
