ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClipLoader For External Swf With File Dependencies?
Feb 3, 2009
I'm trying to use the MovieClipLoader class to load external swfs into my main movie. A problem occurs when the external swf relies on or loads other external files. The external swf acts as if it's running in the same directory as the main swf and expects files to be located relative to that.
For example:
main_movie/main.swf
other_path/external.swf
[Code]......
This seems to be similar to having the base parameter set improperly in the html, but I haven't been able to find a way to set this when loading an swf dynamically with MovieClipLoader.

I am trying to create a basic flash script to load an external swf file using MovieClipLoader class. Here's my code:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("splash.swf",5);
I simply copied it from a tutorial. Unfortunately it throws an error message as follows:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MovieClipLoader
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method.
PS: I have CS3 professional in my machine but I am following Flash 8 book. But my CS3 application supports AS1, 2 and 3.

I'm in a hurry and need big help quick
1 - I'm using AS2 and know my way around it well
2 - I'm loading an external SWF using MovieclipLoader
3 - The external SWF has a MP3 file in it's library (exported for actionscript) and is attached to a Sound Object.
4 - Running the SWF by itself, everything is fine, but once it's loaded in my main movie, it won't play, no sound,

I need to do is load an external swf into a movieclip and make sure it stays within a certain size.
1. How do I make it a set size? Instead of it inheriting the root timeline height/widht. ie: my main movie is 900 x 900 the external swf is 700 x 500 and there are mouse moves that rely on the 700 x 500 boundaries.
2. How do I make this: loadMovie("external.swf", "load_mc"); utilize MovieClipLoader?

I am using MovieClipLoader to load a swf. The external swf has about 12 images on it that just show up one after another. But only the first frame displays.
My code:
[AS]
var empty_mc:MovieClip;
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
[code]....

I am using the MovieClipLoader class to externally load a .swf file with a preloader. The problem is that my .swf starts playnig behind the preloader, before it is completely loaded...
How can I make it paly only after it is 100% loaded?
Here is what I have so far:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadHandler:Object = new Object();
myGlobalSound = new Sound(this);

ActionScript Code:
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("crossball.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
trace(container._width);
trace(container._height);
}
This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'. Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?

When I load an external SWF into my UI SWF using MovieClipLoader.loadClip(), does the external SWF get cached?
Therefore, if the user tries to reload a SWF that had been previously loaded, the SWF will load from the local HDD instead of the website, right?
In my case, caching of content is important to reduce bandwidth usage.

I"m having a tiny problem with unloading an external swf using the MovieClipLoader object. This is what I"m doing:
Code:
if (mcLoader.unloadClip(container)) {
trace(container.testVar) // shows testVar
}
button.clickHandler = function () {
trace(container.testVar) // says undefined when clicked
}
So what's happening is right after I call unloadClip it's still loaded however if I click the button at some point after unloadClip is called it shows that is has been unloaded. So obviously there's a little bit of a delay while things are being unloaded. My question is, does anyone know of a way to detect when the clip is unloaded like with an event listener or something? I want to be able to load up another swf after one is unloaded for the level maps for my game I'm working on.

I have a swf that loads external images from an xml feed (using moviecliploader) and then rotates through these images every n seconds. This works fine in ie and it loads the images and scrolls through them. However in Firefox sometimes it loads the image and sometimes it doesn't! its like a lucky dip haha Is there any link that you know of to any information on this bug/issue with firefox that might help me resolve this? Found something that might be causing the problem, if Firefox cannot find the image within a certain time it just gives up... is this true?

I'm trying to set up a website that uses the MovieClipLoader class to load external images & swfs. The loader is working but I can't seem to get the preloader text to work, ie the onLoadProgress. The Percent text just has jibberish when I test the movie. Could some tell me what I'm doing wrong. Attached is the test file that I'm working on

I'd like to add a derived property to flex:[code]However, derived won't update when I change a or b.Is there a better (faster) way to make derived update than giving a and b setter methods which invalidate it?added keyword "get".This makes more sense now, I hope.

I have several Flex applications in a project, and I would like to know if there's a way to get a list of the classes (and ideally, other assets) that are being compiled into each one. I want an easy way of making sure I've kept things separate and there aren't unnecessary dependencies. Any ideas? I'm running Flash Builder 4.

I'm trying to understand how packages and dependencies work with Adobe Flash Builder 4. I've copied an example here and put it in a .as file called DependencyGraph. However I get the error message:
A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '',
as the definition's package, 'DependencyGraph'.
I understand that the original file has a package name called package flare.apps. What should I change to enable this to run?

I am working on a system that will allow you to annotate classes with information such as dependencies and the scope of it:
Code:
[Singleton]
[Requires (ClassName1, ClassName2)]
class RenderSystem()
[code]....
This class is a singleton that requires ClassName1:Class, ClassName2:Class. If class 1 or 2 are singletons then it will inject a singleton and if not it will create a new object for it.Memory Manager instantiate method looks like this
Code:
/**
* Instantiate an object
* @param type (Class) The type of object to create
[code]....
For the most part it all works but when mxmc compiles the project it drops unused classes. Since they are dynamically allocated this means that at runtime most of the library isn't there.

I'm looking for a way to collect the file dependencies from Flex ActionScript and MXML files. I was hoping that mxmlc could spit them out (like gcc's -M option), but its option list doesn't seem to have anything relevant. I could write a parser, but would prefer not to reinvent the wheel if it has already been done, particularly given the two very different languages involved. In particular, star imports and in-package implicit imports could be troublesome.

I have a large Flex project with two Applications in it. A lot of code is shared between these Applications. However, the smaller of the Applications does not require much of the code that the larger one does. I'm trying to ensure that code that isn't required by the smaller application isn't getting compiled into it.

So I have a project comprised of multiple modules and I'm trying to work out the best way to compile, with minimal code duplication.
I have a core Framework SWF and a number of sub applications which are independent of core. In addition I have a series of common library SWCS which core and subapps are dependant on.
I'm not sure the best way to compile this project so that each module does not need to include the libraries as this would duplicate code. Would love some advice!
I started out with using external-library-path for compilation, but something is going to have to include the common libraries.

I'm used to building applications using pure AS3. I always pass dependencies into the constructor of classes I make, but this method seems to not work out well for Flex MXML views. It seems like I should define setters on the MXML class, which map to attributes in the tag/class instantiation. But using this method I cannot specify which properties are required and in what order I expect them etc. What is the preferred method to give a Flex view it's dependencies?

I'm using robot legs, I've got a bunch of ServiceResponses that extends a base class and have a dependency on a Parser, IParser. I need to wire in a parser specific to the subclass. Here's an example: ModuleConfigResponse extends SimpleServiceResponse and implements IServiceResponse.
The initial part is easy to wire in the context, here's an example:
injector.mapClass(IServiceResponse, ModuleConfigResponse);
injector.mapClass(IServiceResponse, SimpleServiceResponse, "roomconfig");
..etc
Each Response uses a parser that is used by the baseclass:
injector.mapValue(IParser, ModuleConfigParser, "moduleconfig");
injector.mapValue(IParser, RoomConfigParser, "roomconfig");
The question is how to tie these together. The base class could have:
[Inject]
public var parser : IParser
But I can't define the type ahead of time. Im wondering if there a nice way of wiring this in the context. For the moment I've decided to wire this up by instanciating responses in a ResponseFactory instead so that I pay pass the parser manually in the constructor.
injector.mapValue(IParser, ModuleConfigParser, "moduleconfig");

Can someone tell me if its possible to create relative as opposed to absolute paths to swcs in module dependencies for Flex or actionscript modules?In Flex Builder i would simply edit the swc path as'../lib/.swc..But there doesn't seem to be a way to edit the path in IntelliJ once you've defined it.
