I have designed this site with few external swf. I was wondering how can I preload all the externals swf's file in the same preloader of my first frame and scene. I have this code :
onClipEvent (load)
{
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
[code].....
The problem is that when I try to click on a button it gives me this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at dyson_fla::MainTimeline/progressHandler()(progressHandler is the function that calculates bytes loaded and does all the math for the preloader; this is part of the external .swf that are loaded onto the main timeline)Here's the code for the main .swf and after I'm adding the code for one of the external .swf that I'm trying to load.
import flash.display.*;
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*

I've got myself a Flash site, with a main movie, a tumbnail gallery, and a set of image clips.
The gallery loads into the main movie, and so do the images, once the thumbnails are pressed.
I'm trying to put preloaders on all these files, but everytime I do, something goes wrong and the files stop from being loaded into the main clip.
If anyone's interested, here is one of my image files, on which I am trying to put a preoader.

The current code I have works great for one image -- but how do I edit the code to allow for more than one? Every time I try and add an extra button / link to the code I mess the whole thing up.
Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.x = 322;

heres another one for ya, how do I make multiple preloaders for different sections of the site? Im using the ifFrameLoaded script, but it loads every frame because scene2 (with the content) is just 1 frame with many movie clips.

View 3 RepliesI have a few swfs loaded into the 'main' swf file through 'load movie'. As each of the independent swfs are quite big files, I need a preloader for each of them. However, when I include the 'load movie' in the 'main swf', the independent swfs have not finished loading yet, and the movie bounces back to the begining, which is not my intention. Am I using a wrong type or preloader? I'm actually using the preloader I got from Kirupa, the one which is load with percentage.Also, I originally created the flash in MAc, and the 'load movie' command links to, say...painting.swf. But when I transfer the files to PC, it automatically changes to painting, without the swf. extension. As a result, the link could not be read. I modified the url in the load movie command to 'painting' without the extension. I have yet to test on a mac, but I think it would not work.

i am loading first four swf files from swf directory (page1.swf, page2.swf, page3.swf, page4.swf) - However, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE INVISIBLE WHEN THEY ARE PRELOADED TO THE STAGE.. how should i do that.. "fileLoad._visible = false;" does not work
I'm making a site that my clients will be able to log into, in order to check their status with my company.
Basically, I have the following dynamic text fields (instance names);
ActionScript Code:
/*
mayPay
junePay
julyPay

I will have .txt files uploaded to my server which I will be able to edit on the fly. I am just having trouble setting it up.
I can find a way where I am able to load one external text file into a dynamic text field, but not multiple..
I'm working in Flash MX
I made a site completly in flash.
But to lower file size I made the each section a different swf file
when you click a link you will have to wait for that section to load, it would be good if peoples can see the loading progress while they r waiting.
And i hav added a preloader in each of the external swf file.. and then i realise that if i wanna change or modify the preloader, i will have to change all the preloader too.. this is really kicking axx..
is there a way where on the main page there is only 1 preloader needed to show all the external swf files loading progress? i am using an empty mc as container to load thoose external swf files..
I am trying to find a way that I can print a range of jpgs that aren't currently loaded in my movie.
I have a list of thumbnails of photos (with correlating larger version residing externally)each with a number. I want the user to be able to specify a range they would like to print. I think I've gotten close by trying to create a new cast member and load the jpg into it for each one in the range. However my movie keeps hanging and not responding why I try that method.
I have a file (main.fla) which loads external movieclips on it,using an empty movieclip as loader (loader_mc).Now,I want to create a navigation,with two buttons (previous / next) which will allow me to navigate through the external movieclips.So,I have created these two buttons.For the "next" button I am using this code,to load the first external swf file (example1.swf):
Code:
on (release) {
if(this._parent.loader == Number(this._parent.loader_mc)){

View 2 RepliesI have a preloader that i found on the net which i am using to load my main .swf. Inside the main .swf I am loading several external .swf's and I wanted to use the same preloader to load them in.. however I am having a bit of trouble doing so.. here is the code that is attached to the preloader I am using..
Code:
onClipEvent (load) { total = _root.getBytesTotal();}onClipEvent (enterFrame) { loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded(); percent = int(loaded/total*100); text = " "+percent+"%"; gotoAndStop(percent); if (loaded == total) { _root.gotoAndPlay(2); }}
When i use this preloader inside an external .swf which I am pulling into my main movie it resets the whole movie back to the begining.. i guess because of the referals to _root in the code...how I should modify this code for the preloaders in my external .swf's so I can preload and then play my exyternal .swf's in my main movie.

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.
I have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?
View 1 RepliesI have been working on this script that currently loads 2 external files into two separate areas inside my application. the 2nd file loaded is supposed to have several buttons that control the 1st movie clip. Like go to next frame, etc. My problem now is the 2nd file loaded, is not controlling the 1st anymore ( i had this all sitting in one file before).
So the action script to load the files is;
Code:
this.myBtn.onRelease = function() {
//load render 1 into viewer
this._parent.viewer.createEmptyMovieClip("clipHold", this.getNextHighestDepth());

I am working on my first Flash project with AS3.The structure of the flash site is pretty simple. I have a stage 1165px wide x 710px height Inside my Stage I have an horizontal bar with a menu followed by a container right under.
is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the related external .SWF loads into the container with a preloading bar and %. I already did all my .SWF files.
Is there a way to share common .as files with multiple swfs?
View 5 RepliesI seem to be getting a funny problem whenever people click a bit too early on another link whilst a movieclip file is loadingthe prime example is here, you click to enter the site, then a .swf loads within a MC to give you the "homepage" content (in this case some rather pretty girls wearing some t-shirts) the problem comes when the user gets bored of waiting too long and decides to click else where, for example, the user clicks on events.This then begins loading the events.swf file into the loader_MC I have, and once loaded begins mass playing the file constantly ( warning, it does flash very quickly, so if that sort of thing set you off, dont click it =O!)This is what my preloader code looks like in the loading files (such as home.swf, events.swf, etc
ActionScript Code:
mycallback = setInterval(preloader, 10);
//function to be called to test for download

I am trying to eliminate the Loader component from a project. Run locally, the Loader is sufficient to load-up the voiceover swf files that exist on many of the frames in the parent file. On the web, the short download delays at runtime due to the Loader are causing timing issues. I'm not sure if there is a way to preload multiple swfs into specific frames of a parent file so that they are available before runtime.
View 4 RepliesI want to start making my flash projects more modular by creating external actionscript files for each part of my projects.For example, if my project were to create a car, I would break the car into a set of classes; a class for the body, a class for the engine, a class for the wheels, ect.So here's my question(s). Should I just keep all of my classes in the Document class? even though doing this wont modularize my project?Now, I know how to make external actionscript files for each class, but how do i link (I don't know if "link" is the correct terminology or not) the external actionscript files together to get them to work together?Do I have to instantiate the external actionscript files on the time line for each class?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.
View 2 RepliesI have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?
View 2 RepliesI've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
