I have an image gallery consisting of thumbnail buttons, which load the external fade in/out files. When the buttons are on the main timeline everything works perfectly, but I wanted them to be scrollable so I placed them within a MC, still on the main timeline, and now the externals wont load the scrolling and button actions are fine.

I have a "about.swf" file that loads a CSS file and formats some dynamic HTML text. On its own, it works fine...but when it gets loaded into my "Main.swf", it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a bug that doesn't let you load CSS with external .swf's?My style sheet and index file holding the "Main.swf" are all on the root level of my site. The "Main.swf" has a "holder_mc" clip that I load the "about.swf" into which has the CSS formatting. When loaded into "Main.swf", it doesn't work.

View 4 Repliesim trying to load an external swf into my project the code is simply this:
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
loader.load(new URLRequest("gallery.swf");
I get an error that says the following when i debug it.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.. at gallery_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()Cannot display source code at this location
I have done this same thing before but never gotten this error message, i even tried to load an old swf file and it worked fine.
I am having trouble loading external .swf files. I use the following code for my loader:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code].....
The issue is that the progress reaches 100% but the other file never shows. I also know the progress check is redundant and that the complete event should do the same, but that was one of my attempts at debugging.
The code I gave is a chop-up of the hours-load of tutorials I have been reading, and is just meant to be a test file for me to work with loading external flash files.
I'm using AS2 and Flash CS4. I'm having problems loading an external swf correctly. I get it loaded and displayed ok, but not in the correct spot. The movie clip is the same size as swf, and the registration point is in the top left corner. However, each time it loads it ends up in the bottom right corner of the screen.
View 1 RepliesThe script below works when I test the index.swf file in Flash as well as testing the index.html file in Dreamweaver. When I upload the HTML and SWF file to my webhost (Just Host), however, it doesn't load the images!!! Is there another line(s) of code that needs to be added or is there something wrog with the webhost? to reduce the size of my website which is my ultimate goal.

I am trying to write a small flash app which will load and display images provided as a query. My flash app works fine when I provide the image path directly in the browser address bar, but it is not working when I do the same using html. Here is the direct link to the flash app: [URL]
Here is the link to the html with which I am trying to invoke the app. [URL]

This is hosted on a linux site supporting php.
I have on the last frame of my external swf code like this:
unloadMovie(this);
//
I think this should unload my external swf from my main movie
And now in my main movie I want to check if my container is empty.. if it is.. let's go to some other frame..
if (container == 0) {
main.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
//
I was just hoping that this code checks if the container is empy.. and sends the main movie to frame 2 ..
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.

I have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing. These flash movies load an external xml file.This is failing.The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.[url]...

is there any way that you can make a .as file be read in & so that it updates the .swf file, much like the way loading an xml or .txt file does?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code.

I'm new to Flex and I'm trying to write a program with lots of content in it. There's a sidebar, a main content pane with tabs, etc.I want to be able to create MXML files (like sidebar.MXML, tab1.mxml, etc.) that I can then load into the sidebar or load into a certain tab. That would make my code a lot more manageable instead of writing all that code inside of the main MXML file.Can I do this? I have already modularized some of my code by putting them in custom components, but I would really like to be able to load content from other MXML files, much like I can do in PHP:

Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);

this works wonderfully, but what I need to do is have a button in the this SWF, when clicked, unload itself, and load a different external SWF.

View 1 RepliesI need it to be in Action script 3 though. I did find a tutorial on this website that is labeled loading random movies but its written for a very old version of flash from 2004.
I am trying to load multiple swfs into a main swf one after another. So after one plays the next one plays etc. I need it to be random as well. As in I am going to be taking some swfs out then putting new ones in the rotation. This is a slideshow so to speak of different swfs displaying current promotions and when the promos are over I need to remove them from the rotation. I right now have one big long swf that contains all the different rotated promos I hope this was easy to understand.
i was wondering if their was a way to load external files in advance and to integrate these in the loading progress of the flash file (in the beginning ... you know, with a load bar)i used and changed the photogallery of kirupa, and in the code i integrated a piece that positions every image depending of its size.i put it in the tag where "if" says that the file has loaded completely and the fade in may start.... wel, it works, but some times it doesn't position well. just like the image ain't loaded well. when you go to the next image and then go back it works.if you want to see it, here's the url
View 1 RepliesI 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 can't figure out how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)
var myItems:Array = new Array("swf01.swf", "swf02.swf", "swf03.swf", "swf04.swf", "swf05.swf", "swf06.swf", "swf07.swf", "swf08.swf", "swf09.swf");
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("myItems[0]", this.getNextHighestDepth());
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?
I am trying to load external swf files in a main movie.I have created 3 different movies. Main movie is named "Container". Another 2 movies are named "movie1.swf" and "movie2.swf".Main movie "Container" is having some navigation buttons and template sort of thing in it. On the lowest layer in main movie I have created an empty movie clip in which I am trying to load "movie1.swf".Now problem is when I load "movie1.swf" instead of loading the external movie in target mc, it clears all the contents in main movie.
