ActionScript 2.0 :: Navigation On Multiple External Swf Files?
Jun 30, 2008
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)){
[code]....

I'm still working on this project and it got literally huge... at least huge enough to consume all of my 3 GB RAM memory and crash my Adobe Flash CS4. Anyway, I decided to put the site on several swf's but the problem is that I've never done that before so I have no idea how to navigate between them.
Basically I have a main swf file, inside it there's an image (let's say its instance name is "projects_btn") that should take me to "Projects.swf", and I want to click on an "x" sign (its instance name is "xSign_btn") inside Projects.swf that would take me back to the main swf file "Bnaider2.swf".

Everything was going fine on a website project I've been working on, until yesterday. I'll try to explain the whole scenario first, and I'll put the code in here too so anyone can try to figure out what is wrong. Here's the breakdown of the site:
1) There is a MAIN SWF file that plays an intro and then stops on the last frame with the "Main" Navigation buttons.
2) Inside the Root folder where the MAIN SWF resides, there is another folder called "swfs" which contains six main external navigation pages, as well as another folder called "galleries" which contains additional external swf files for six gallery pages.
3) On one of the layers of the MAIN SWF, there is a movie clip called "mySWFLoadingClip" that the "Main" Navigation buttons load and unload the main swf pages onto. These all work perfectly. The problem start on the next step. This is the code I used for the navigation buttons on the MAIN SWF timeline:
var Xpos:Number = 0.0;
var Ypos:Number = 0.0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/home_page_swf.swf");
[Code] .....
4) One of the external navigation SWF pages is called "portfolio_page_swf" and gets loaded into the "mySWFLoadingClip" moveclip on the MAIN SWF. This is where the problem begins. The "portfolio_page_swf" has six buttons that call out to an additional external swf from the galleries folder. Now when I open the "portfolio_page_swf" file to test out if the buttons work, they work perfect. When I click the buttons, the external swf gallery files show up like they should. But the problem is that when I open the "MAIN SWF" file to test out the site, I can click the Main Navigation buttons and they work. I click on the Portfolio button on the Main SWF time line, and it places the "portfolio_page_swf" onto the stage like it should, but when I click the buttons that are within the "portfolio_page_swf" the galleries don't show up. The buttons from the "portfolio_page_swf" page only work if I open the "portfolio_page_swf" file directly.
Here is the code that is used in the "portfolio_page_swf":
var Xpos:Number= 0.0;
var Ypos:Number = 0.0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("galleries/gallery_print_swf.swf");
[Code] .....
How to load an External SWF onto the main time line and then load an additional external swf from within the first external swf.

I am diving in to learn AS3 and converting my site over to AS3. The majority of my code is for my navigation in my main movie that loads external swf files. Here is what I have and I don't know where to start to convert it. I know I need to do this in steps. So the audio is not important now or my other swf files.

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 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?

I 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 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.

I 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?

I am creating an interactive website so it can be viewed where there is no internet.Each section of the website is split in to different movie clips with the navigation itself being a movie clip on a different layer.Currently I am able to jump to the beginning of frame 1 of a MC then able to navigate to frame 2 but unable to go back to frame 1 through the nav.My biggest problem is jumping to frame 2 of a MC.

I've created an image gallery that loads movieclips from my library with a simple navigation system. Everything seems to be working fine however I'd like to add some additional functionality. What i would like to do is have the navigation first appear on a splash page. When a user selects one of the nav buttons, the nav will fade out. The image selected will then fade in as well as the navigation but smaller and tucked away to the side.
Users can then continue to sift through the gallery with new (smaller) navigation. I don't know if any of that made sense so I whipped up a few images to demonstrate what i mean. I've also attached a zip file with the current gallery I've created.

The center top of this webpage has a navigation menu that I'm trying to create [URL]. Basically, depending on where the mouseover is, the image and hence the button/link below changes. How to have multiple hit areas overlapping in the same place, and to have only one specific hit area active depending on where the mouseover is at the time.

I have a navigation menu that is a movieclip (menu_mc). In the movieclip are 5 buttons. i need the buttons, when clicked, to play a different area of the timeline, dependent on where the user is on the timeline.
I've tried writing this actionscript on the main timeline. But can't get anything to work and am a little lost. for example Say the viewer is on frame 5, and clicks the "blue" button and jumps to frame 6. on frame 6 if they are to click "blue" button again i want to send them to frame 7, not to frame 6.
if anyone could direct me to a tutorial on how to write up something like this, especially one dealing with a very large timeline and multiple buttons, i'd be grateful!

I'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.

i would like to do a simple set of buttons dynamicly created by code, like simple recangles which will act to each other and have different target urls or movies to load. Also buttons should have constant spacing to each other and it should be possible to have a tween animation for each one with delayed timing, so button 3 slides in first, button 2 slides in a second later and finally button 1 slides in at last. If you click one button all of the other buttons should get deactivated and the alpha should tween down to a lower level for e.g
Something like that, sounds simple but i don?t know where to start. I guess i will need to duplicate the button give each of them different targets, tweening and activate / deactivate states, but thats all i know in theory so far.

I'm currently building a demo tour in flash, I created a main swf that has an intro and navigation. Each link on the main.swf calls a loadMovie and loads each section with external swf's in an empty movie clip. What I'd like to add is 2 buttons, which are next and back, giving the user the flexibility of going through each section, using these 2 buttons. Its just that since each section is an external swf file, I'm not sure how to script the 2 back and next buttons..
