ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading In An External SWF At A Pre-determined Size?
Jan 10, 2007
Ok so basicaly what I want to do is load in an external swf onto the stage which is 1024x768, above all existing items (so preferably into an existing container mc) but set the loaded swf's width/height so that it fits into a pre-determined space of 700x400, even though the loaded SWF is larger.
The stage of the SWF being loaded in is 700x400, which as stated above is the desired size, but objects within it are larger than it's stage for purposes of the animation. This means that when you load the SWF onto your current stage with the normal loadMovie("xxx.swf","container") you wind up seing parts of the object that would normaly be outside the 700x400 stage if you were to view the SWF on it's own, obviously resulting in an ugly movie clip.
I could cover up those parts with extra layers, but the majority of the primary stage is transparent so this isn't really an option. So, is there a way to load an external SWF but only display the actual stage of that SWF, or set the width/height to mimmick the same sort of thing?

i'm trying to load an external swf (as2) and I want to use it as a background for my movie.I'm doing it with this code:
Code:
var bg = new Loader();
bg.load(new URLRequest("background.swf"));
addChild(bg);
[code]....
Why is not working when I set as the width and height the stageWidth and stageHeight parameters?

I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?

I'm seeking a method that tells me whether my code is running inside an AIR app or not. Something a lot less tacky than polling an AIR-only method. So far, searching the docs has been unfruitful.

Is this determined by the fps set in the .fla? or does it simply run as fast as the computer can run it?

I have multiple Flash forms that all go to the same database via php I am trying to figure out how to have a pre-determined "Value" for one of these fields..URL...then "Collectors" then "Invitation Request" Once you choose what type of collector you are a drop down form comes up. I need a way to make the first field or "type of collector" to be filled in and send the different pre-filled fields to my database...I know this is a complicated explanation but I don't know how to ask it any simpler.

I'm working in Flash 9, AS2.
I have a button that (should) open a new window whose URL is determined by a variable, downloadlink:
on(press) {
downloadlink = _root.download[songnumber];
_root.getURL(downloadlink, "_blank");
}
I've traced this, and the variable for downloadlink is working correctly, pulling in a full URL like [URL] from an array in the root
this does not seem to be a popup block issue - because when I replace the code with: downloadlink = [URL] ... the new page opens with no problem, in a new window

Let's say I have three symbols (whether they are movie clips or graphics, I'm not sure yet, but let's assume they're movie clips). Okay three movie clips, each is 5 frames of animation. The clips are named bugs1, bugs2, and bugs3.
Okay, now I have a variable named bugsvalue. Here's what I want to do:
If bugsvalue == 1, I want bugs1 to appear on the screen. If bugsvalue == 2, I want bugs2 to appear on the screen. And if bugsvalue == 3, I want bugs3 to appear on the screen.
There's two ways I think this can work, but logistically don't know if either one will work. We can have all 3 on the screen, but have their visibility set to 0. When the variable is equal to their value, their visibility is set to 100 and they appear. I don't like this approach because it's means having all three on the screen, which increases demand on the computer.
The other way to do it is to have none of them on the screen. Then when their variable is equal, have the clip actually appear and then when the variable isn't equal anymore, to have that clip disappear.
If this is confusing, is there a way I can provide a .FLA so perhaps you can see what I want to happen?
All movie clips are in the library, but I don't know how to call something from the library to appear on the stage, and then disappear again when I don't need it on the screen anymore.

what I need to do is take a value (angle) and round it to the nearest number from a pre-determined set of values (e.g - [0, 45, 90, 180...]. The purpose of this is to restrict the angle to vertical, horizontal or diagonal movement (it's for a word search).

My interest is in creating a row buttons that are dynamically generated and placed as determined by xml content (number of buttons that is). The buttons are multiple instances of the same clip (attached) that contain textfields which display numbers (ie. 01, 02, ...20). The number of buttons generated shall be capped to a max of 20. I have parts of it figured out and need help with others. The generation of the clips are handled by the following loop...

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I cant seem to make my preloader disappear after the MovieClipLoader class has determined the load is complete. I have a movieclip I attach onto the stage called thumbnailModule_mc inside of it I have the preloader movieclip (a simple spinning circle) and the image holder movieclip that the MovieClipLoader is listening to see when the image load is complete. When the load completes I want to set the alpha to zero and fade in the image. But my code doesn't work! the preloader stays visible.
Here is my code:
Code:
function loadHomeBar(xmlFileName:String) {
var homeSideBar:XML = new XML();
homeSideBar.ignoreWhite = true;

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 spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

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.

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?

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

Lets 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:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.
