ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Loader Works Intermittently With SWF
Dec 28, 2010
I have created a moviecliploader that loads an external SWF and has player controls. I have a slider that moves with the movie, which works perfectly with cc_1.swf, but will not move with p_2.swf. The code below shows how the movie is loaded and how I update the x coordinate of the slider. Also, the attached zip file contains the fla and both swf movies.
Code:
//Working: cc_1.swf
//Not Working: p_2.swf
//Load Movie
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("cc_1.swf", _root.container);

I'm using a Loader to load an external image. And when I'm in flash and test the movie it works perfectly, but as soon as I publish it (creating a .html in the same folder, not uploading it online) it says that there's something wrong with the URL - still it works when I test the movie in flash! This is very irritating, because I have no idea what's causing this. What's even more strange is that I have this class inside my movie, that uses the exact same loader method - only it's used inside a class - and it WORKS published.
Here's the code:
Code:
imageLoader = new Loader();
antalBildObjekt += 1;
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,

Sorry, I'm a newbie with what I'm sure is a deafeningly stupid problem. I'm self-taught, as well, so... there you go. I'm working with buttons that trigger images into a loader. When I test it on my computer it works fine. When I upload the SWF to my site with the code, the buttons appear but they don't load the images. I assumed this was because the images have to load from somewhere, so I uploaded the images to the same folder, but I it still won't work. Now I'm assuming it's an action script issue, but I don't know how to resolve it. My current action script is: on (rollover) {loader.contentPath = "image.jpg";}

I have a music player and because of my fast connection I cannot test if the pre-loader and or bar works.Also no matter what I do I can't get the second track to play. It has the same set of actions pretty much as the first.

I have created a pre-loader that creates a movie clip holder then loads an external swf into the created movie clip holder. The pre-loader downloads the external swf but then the downloaded swf re-loads on entry into it's first frame.

i am trying to load the html code of a page in to flash. It is working and running fine when i compile in flash but when i run it of my web server it wont load. the code that loads it is:textLoader.load(textReq);textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadComplete);So once it has loaded the url in to textLoader it calls the function textLoadComplete. Like i say it works fine in flash but not on the server. I was wondering if it might be a security problem? i have used this at the start of the class:

I made a very simple loader, it's only a textbox with a percent loaded displayed.
It works perfectly when I use Test Movie in the Flash IDE but when I upload the .swf to my webserver, I get a blank grey box until the entire game is loaded, then it starts the game.
Is there any common mistakes one could make that would lead to this behaviour?
-- Detailed information -- Flash 8 game has 2 scenes. Loader, and MainGame Loader scene has the following code in frame 1:
Code:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function()
{
[Code].....
frame 2 has all my dynamically loaded movieclips placed on the stage (since I can't use 'export to frame 1' or that breaks the loader) frame 3 has a bunch of mp3's the game uses (same reason)
MainGame Scene has one frame that has actionscript code that does everything by code alone, loading movieclips and sounds dynamically.
It's that simple, and the loading works perfectly with various bandwidth settings using Test Movie, but once loaded from a website, the loader fails to appear at all, instead you are greeted to a grey box until the game is fully downloaded.

For a large project I have the following setup:
a content editor made with Flex SDK 3.5
a content viewer made with Flex SDK 4.1
Both need to work with dynamically loaded fonts as the user can use the fonts he wants.
So we used this approach:
convert the font files with Flash Professional to SWF-files (Creating a Font SWF)
editor: load the fonts with Loader (Loading a SWF font) the fonts can then be perfectly used within the application to generate htmlText viewer: the same approach to load the fonts + register them with Font.registerFont (Flex 4 Embed font from swf)
Now the problems: although the loaded fonts are listed when you trace Font.enumerateFonts(false), they are not used in the textarea. There the text is shown with the default font.
Maybe the problem is the fonts are loaded as embedAsCFF for the Text Layout Framework, and that way are not usable in an mx.controls.TextArea? But as I can not change that to a spark TextArea for multiple reasons, I need a solution to use the loaded fonts in that mx.controls.TextArea.

Intro:I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline: Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"][also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science.

I created an interactive exercise to teach music. After the correct answer is given, the user has the option to click on a button and hear a specific sound (a chord played on the piano). The sound button appears only after they give the correct answer, and they can click on it as many times as they want. There are a series of these exercises, each one on a different frame and each one with a different sound.The sound files are called in the button code.
Here's the problem. In some of the exercises, if I keep clicking on the sound button, it plays the correct sound about 20 times in a row but then it will suddenly play a different sound (a chord from one of the other exercises). Then it goes back to playing the correct sound.

I have an image gallery with a thumbnail class which needs information about the content being loaded to be able to resize it appropiatly. Using.content.height and .content.width I can acces this information, however the swf (online) stops working when this code is encountered. No errors are thrown.piece of code from where it stops working

I have a Flex app that uses Flash Remoting and the RemoteObject to pull data from a ColdFusion CFC. About 75% of the time it works, but the other times I get a message using Charles (a debugging tool) that says faultString = "Unable to Invoke CFC". FaultCode = "Server.Processing".
Here's my RemoteObject:
<mx:RemoteObject id="carsSvc" destination="ColdFusion" source="ca.sqmIDash.cfc.sqmIdash">
<mx:method name="getCARs" result="resultHandler(event)"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>
The server set up on our web farm is to use load balancing. I'm not sure if this is causing the problem or not. Probably not, but it's a thought.

I have been running FMIS 3.5 since April of this year. In August, we started recording conferences, but I'm not sure that this is the issue. We are under very low load at the moment. We never have more than one conference going simultaneously. Our server is spec'ed with a 64-bit operating system (MS08), 24GB RAM, and 24 processors.I notice that in some of our conferences, the video and audio freezes for 5 to 10 seconds. Then they recover and resume where they left off. When this occurs, it recurs every one or two minutes, which is very disruptive.People have to constantly repeat themselves.
FMIS is configured with defaults out of the box, with the exception that we are recording live video and audio. How do I solve a problem like this? Is it Internet latency? Is it our internal network? Is it FMIS 3.5? Not sure where to start.Now I've inherited much of the Flex 3 code that is used in the stream and player Flash components. I notice in the player component that the original programmer is using a timer to monitor the mx.Event.VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGED event. As long as the event fires, he resets the timer. But if 10 seconds expires and the STATE_CHANGED event has not fired, he restarts the player. Is this a valid methodology? Here is the code fragment.
<mx:Script><![CDATA[var lastUpdate : Number = 0;private var pulse : Timer = null;
private function onInit() : void {
viewVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, function() : void { if (!lastUpdate) { pulse.start(); }[code]....

I have a Flash movie that behaves as follows:Movie loads > tries to load an XML file using URLLoader.load() > uses the data in the XML to load some images into the movie.The requirement was for updates to the XML file to be picked up within 10 minutes, so I have added a querystring parameter to the XML URL which is a timestamp to the nearest ten minutes, e.g.1-40**This all works for me as expected in IE and Chrome, and it works locally for me in Firefox. However, on our production server (IIS) in Firefox, the following behaviour occurs (by observing Firebug):First load:SWF loads > XML Requested and loads > images requested and loadSubsequent page loads:SWF Loads > no request for the XML (no request shown in Firebug)Firebug shows the following information about the XML file from the first successful request:

But using the include before the class statement throws an error during compile
How can i do to add the methods in the prototypes to my MCs in my class?

I have a series of 6 images. In a single movie clip symbol (with the pictures embedded/attached in the swf), I want the images to fade in, stop for 4 seconds, fade out as the next image fades in, and repeats from there. I know how to do this with timeline tweens - but I wanted to learn how to make it in actionscript.
I've finally been able to make the images do this, but when I pull the movieclip into my main animation, it breaks all my stop(); commands for navigation. it seems to stop for 4 seconds and then continues on. I'm still very much an actionscript beginner, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it.

I have an XML-file which holds some info about picture and text.A designer have made some mc's and I have to load the pictures (which has URL from XML) into this mc-animation. I can only load the images into the loader and then I cant get the image from the loader in memory into the animated timeline mc. how this is done? I have tried addChild but this doesnt help me attach the loaded picture to the anim_mc. or...?The designer also have a textlayer, which is put in a mc and then animated. And the text from XML must go into the textfield and be animated.

i have created a preloader for my swf file. I want to simply add an image onto the stage whilst another swf is loading. My image is saved in a movieclip called image in the library. How would i add it to the stage and make it stay there whilst it is being loaded. I have tried manually moving it onto the stage but it only stays for 1 frame.

I am trying to convert the [Loader Object] into the MovieClip but could't do it. Please see the comment in to code to see my problem. The reason i want to do this is because i have other movieclips on my code, I like to be able to use those code instead of converting the code to works with the loader object.[code]

I have set up my project file in such a way that I have an FLV loader and a movie clip with six key frames (for my menu) on the stage. On each of the key frames I have six buttons. The way the site is supposed to work is that when you click on a different button you jump to a different key frame where an flv movie begins to play and an external swf file is loaded. I've made some progress with the coding, but the darn thing still doesn't work.
I have pasted my AS3 code below.

I tried adding "[i]" after the "image" for each item in the code but it complained about missing semicolon before left bracket.
var image:Loader = new Loader();var target_image:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/" + xmlData.Product[i].id + ".png");image.name = "image_"+[i];
