ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX04] Loading From XML Files?

Dec 29, 2006

I am doing up a photo gallery as a pet project using only actionscript. So far I have been successful in achieving the objectives that I want. However, moving forward, I intend to make the flash photo gallery easy to customise and want to add in a XML config file for flashh to reference.Here is where I am facing some problems. I managed to get Flash to read the XML data w/o a problem. The catch is how can I know when the XML file is loaded before I render the other movie objects (which require the settings in the config file)?

eg.

file_xml = new XML();
//Load XML file
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;
//Parse the XML data

[code]....

Is there a way for Flash to listen to when I can start using the config values?

Actionscript 3 :: Prohibit Users From Loading Swf Files By Flash Loader.load() And Only Allow Loading Images?

Apr 1, 2010

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.

So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

Swf Files Loading At Different Speeds?

Jun 13, 2010

I've got a website w/ a few different pages (each it's own swf file). When buttons are pressed the first time things seem good. But if you return to a button that's already loaded once, the movie clip file that has the navigation (and is the background), loads either too slow or too quick for the other swf files and it gets stuck in random spots. It's hard to explain, but something is not working properly.

Loading Different SWF Files In Sequence

May 25, 2011

I'm doing a presentation where it loads different swf files in sequence. I already have a holder with width = 819, height = 614. Right now, I'm loading 1024x768 swf files in it.

This is the code in use:
loadMovie("movie1.swf", holder);
holder._width = 819;
holder._height = 614;

The swf file is loading in the correct position, but when I test play it, the first one [movie1.swf] loads and plays in it's original size [1024x768], then the following one [movie2.swf] loads and plays the way I want it [819x614]... Then when the whole movie loops again, now, the first one [movie1.swf] plays the way I want it to.

Loading .txt Files From Server?

May 13, 2009

I have an issue with a script I created that loads text strings from a file on my server.The swf file loads a message from a .txt file, displays it in an animation when the animation finishes it loops back to the start and loads the next message and displays it in the animation.
 
All works fine. However the script reads the text file from the server on every loop ( 3 seconds ) This will be hard on my server so... Is there a way to read the text file once only and then loop through the eight statements?

Actionscript 3 :: Loading And Using SWF Files

Mar 25, 2012

I'm new to AS3, and am trying to understand how externally loaded SWFs work in AS3. Since Flash 4/5, it was common to have one main SWF file in a Flash web project, and then load other SWF files into it, often for various "sections" of a website or web project. In the main file, we'd have masks animating the container movieclip(in which external sections/SWF files were loaded) and have animations and transitions play as the section finished loading and the loaded content was displayed.

In AS3, I've used the Loader class to load and display the external file, my main problem is in communicating with the loaded content, call it's functions, or call root functions from it. In AS2, we could use someMovieClip.loadMovie("ExternalContent.swf") and the ExternalContent file would load inside someMovieClip. You could access functions on the "External.swf" main timeline using someMovieClip.function();. And inside the "ExternalContent.swf", we could use _root.function() to access functions in the main file ExternalContent was being loaded into. Doing this in AS3 seems bizarre and neurotic, and I feel like I'm missing something fairly basic here.

Is there a good work-around for this? Something short of adding a variable for the slash character that changes when a different OS is found? Also, I load XML that has links in it, so changing the links on the fly after they're loaded would be great.

[CS3] Flicker Between Loading Separate SWF Files

Sep 16, 2008

I need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.

The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.

Loading Swf Files In To A Movie, In Order?

Jul 10, 2009

In AC2, I am trying to load .swf files in to a movie.

I know how to load them, and I can load them at random. But what I want to know is, if I have say 500 movies, named movie_0.swf movie_1.swf movie_2.swf etc...

is there a way I can load them ten at a time, in order of highest number to lowest number. In a specific location.

In other words, I want to be able to have many external swf movies, about 400px wide by 100px tall, and load 10 at a time in to a 800px wide by 1200px tall movie, 10 movies at a time, in order of highest to lowest movie name number. Each in a specific place, with a next and precious button to show the next 10 or last 10.

Im basically working on my first site, and want to use something like this so I can show my latest articles first when someone clicks on the articles section of the website.

Now resolved with AS3

PHP Code:

var loaderone:Loader = new Loader();
loaderone.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedone);
loaderone.load(new URLRequest(prefix + totalfiles-- + ".swf"));
function loadedone(one:Event):void
