I am using loadmovie to load in swf in my main swf.
The FPS of my main timeline is : 20FPS
The SWF I am loading is : 8 FPS
When i load it in it is automatically changed to 20 FPS.
Is there anyway to lock FPS?
lock the aspect ratio of a dynamically loaded image when i resize my browser.
View 3 Repliesi want to loaded a swf into my main swf file. How do I place it on the main timeline in the main swf. To be exact I have a frame label called about. Where i want the swf to be.[code]
View 7 RepliesI have some swfs that i want to combine: I have the main.swf that containes buttons, and i want each button to lead to an external swf. I have already done that.What i dont know is how to return to main.swf. I want all external swfs to have a button called "Back to menu" and go back to main.swf
View 3 RepliesI have a site that I'm working on that I am loading an external swf page into a main one. The main one is based on a totally liquid state and stretches the background to fill the browser and the components are relatively position based on browser window dimensions.
Now inside of the main swf I load an external swf through the loader command. This swf has a set dimension and stays centered in the stage.
I am trying to make a button in this swf that loads yet another swf that is stretches the full browser. However I do not know how to access the properties of a main swf from this external one, or if this is even possible.
I am loading an external swf and I want it to overlap my main swf. I have been trying to figure this out for days. Check my link to see what I am talking about

when you click on about the swf loads, but it leaves a little space on the right where you can still see the main swf underneath... you can also check my FLAs if you want...download here

i have a movie that loads a 2nd movie on a button action. The second movie has some other buttons ("co" & "me") that makes some text pop up with easing. This is the code below. The problem is, the second swf works by itself, but not when loaded into the main swf. I've tried changing _root to _parent as well as various others, but to no avail? Is _root my problem??
[Code]...
is it possible for a loaded swf to control the timeline of the main swf or even to tell the main swf to unload the loaded swf just by pressing a button in the loaded swf.
View 2 RepliesI have a website up at [URL]. The thing is that I have flv files being loaded by swfs that are loaded on a movieclip of a main swf. Locally everything works fine but as soon as I move it up the web or even try to run in over my home network, the flv files won't run. Can the flv run inside a swf that is loaded into another swf? I have set the paths to relative already, this taking into account the main swf!
Something like this:
loaded_swf_folder/flv_folder/flv_file.flv
If I didn't take the main swf into account it would look like this:
flv_folder/flv_file.flv
But I tried this already and it didn't work at all. Except if you run one of the loaded swf directly instead of through the main swf.
I'm trying to control my main.swf through a loaded .swf.
My goals are. 1. load the external swf into main.swf and have a movieclip in the external swf play. (the movie clip in the external swf should play without any code, however, when the external swf loads, the movie clip goes to the last frame of itself for some reason)
2. I have an "X" button on the loaded.swf itself that should dismiss the loaded swf and cause my navigation on my main.swf to reappear.
Here is my loader code in main.swf:
Code:
var _urlx:Loader = new Loader();
_urlx.load(new URLRequest("loadBlank.swf"));
var _url1:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
As of now, my navigation in main.swf does reappear when the "X" in the loaded.swf is clicked, but I need a way to unload the currently loaded swf when the "X" button is clicked..
I've tried remove child, checking to see if the loaded child is not null, but that didn't work either...
using the command:
loadMovie(_root.section, _root.content);how would i work in a preloader bar?? add one to the file that is loaded into the main movie or on my main movie that is loading the file?
My site consists of a main swf file ('home.swf') which then has other swfs loaded into it via an empty movie clip.I have created one such swf. file (news.swf) which features 2 simple scrolling text buttons (one to move text down, and the other to move it up).http:[url].....
Everything works fine when I preview the news.swf on its own, but when I preview the home.swf and view the news.swf loaded into it, the button which should move the text up doesn't work.I think it's something to do with using the term _root. but i don't know what to replace it with.This is the script I have on the button that doesn't work:
//Events during mouse click
on(press) {
_root.controller.gotoAndPlay (2);[code]........
Is it just a case of changing the _root. term, and if so what should I change it to, or is it trickier than that.
I basically need to communicate to an externally loaded swf and send info back to main swf. Below is some sample code of what I am trying to achieve:
In the main swf:
var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest("external.swf"));
addChild(imgLoader);
var MC:MovieClip = imgLoader.content as MovieClip;
//var MC = MovieClip(imgLoader.content);
trace(MC)
MC.btn1.visible=false;
In the external swf:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,externalCli ck1);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,externalCli ck2);
function externalClick1(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("external Click 1");
//main swf goto nextFrame;
} function externalClick2(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("external Click 2");
// main swf goto PrevFrame;
}
The trace I have setup in the main swf, trace(MC) returns a null value.
I have a simple swf called site.swf that loads a menu with UILoader called menu.swf, from menu I'm able to navigateToURL but I also need that it goes to frame 50 in menu.swf.

View 4 RepliesI have a project I'm working on where the user is presented with an overhead shot of a building and is able to mouse-over the different rooms to choose one to "enter." Once clicked, the chosen room is an external .SWF that is loaded that has options to view other external .SWFs within that room. Problem is, within the first loaded .SWF, I have a "home" button that is supposed to take the viewer back to the main overhead view but I can't get the AS to work. I've tried _parent and _root with no luck (not sure I even typed out right code).

View 7 RepliesIf I have a main.swf which loads, for example, outside.swf, is there a way to make outside.swf useless if run on its own, but working when loaded via main.swf? The purpose would be preventing people from running parts of a presentation on a CD, forcing them to use only the main.exe projector file. I tried making a Boolean variable called "allowed" in outside.swf telling the movie not to play if it's set to false, and then tried changing this property from main.swf after loading it by calling loader.content, but it didn't work.
I did this:
ActionScript Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadaj);
function loadaj(e:MouseEvent):void {
var MVloader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("outside.swf");
MVloader.load(req);
attacher.addChild(MVloader);
MVloader.content.allowed = true;
}
I am comming from AS2, obviously. I have looked at many of the post people have to get "something" to be avaialble on a root type method, but I haven't found anything that has worked for this yetFor those who are saying "you're missing the point", and the rest of the "this is a bad idea" or "not needed" comments would you mind detailing the process of making a variable avaiable from a subMovie to a mainMovie and from mainMovie back to subMovie; or changing the property to an object inside of a SWF that has been added to a movie using addChild()?These are the constraints I have to work within. I can't restructure the 100-150 some odd pieces that are already in existance using AS3. New funtionality is needed that requires communication between the two movies.
View 6 Repliesthis website I'm designing loads swfs. inside one of these loaded swfs is a button that is supposed to remove the loader child from the stage and load a page in the main swf. How would I go about scripting that without using OOP? or is there a short external class I can create?

I have a question about accessing functions or variables on the main timeline from a loaded swf. I know that there are a few ways to do this
1. Casting the timeline as a movie clip
Loader SWF Script
var testText:String = "Test";
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
loadData("loaded.swf");
function LoadData(aURL){
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(aURL));
addChild(myLoader);
}
2. Cast the timeline as a generic object
var parentObj:Object = this.parent as Object;
parentObj.unloadSWF("loaded.swf")
Why can you not just reference the main timeline of the container swf directly.
We are migrating to AS3 at my job and I have run across a weird bug (???). I use the same basic class structure for most of my projects:Main.as - document class. handles preloader and sometimes XML loading, etc.Navigation.as - the class that handles all menu buttons, etc.Content.as - handles all the pages, game content, whatever.I created a game with this basic structure and published the SWF. Everything works great.Now, I built a website with this same basic structure and when I try to load the game SWF, it throws a bunch of runtime errors - it seems to be confused by the fact that the class names are the same.Each SWF works fine by itself. It only crashes when I try to load one into the other.
I should mention that both the game and website have identical package structure (because they are for the same client, duh!).Is this a flash player bug or am I doing something wrong? I went through the website and renamed all of the classes and it fixed the problem, but my concern is that we may have to load SWFs in the future that we didn't create. What if they have a similar issue? Unlikely, but possible.
I am going to make one contact form with Combobox with some input fields in it. The problem is when I tested the contact.swf it works fine and I can easily select any item as I like. But when this contact.swf loads in the main swf by clicking the contact button in the main swf the combo box does not work at all. I attached these two flash for your look. [URL].
View 2 RepliesI have one swf (let's call this 'A') that loads in an external swf via my own pre-loading class. We'll call this 'B'.s both swfs are written by myself, the structure follows the same one I always use, ie. a DocClass named 'Main'. When B is loaded in, the DocClass's clash - ie. B calls A's DocClass. a) Is this normal behaviour?b) Will this conflict occur for any other variables/functions that share a name?

View 2 RepliesSo basically I have two swfs, main.swf and level.swf.. main.swf simply has two frames, first one has the code below to load level.swf and the second frame has some text in it, it's labelled "theend".
Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("level.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
level.swf is more complicated, it's a little game and blah blah, but the thing is that I have a button (cnt_btn) in the last frame. I'd like this button to go to the second frame ("theend") of the main timeline.
