I've got this down using ActionScript 3, but I am in over my head trying to revert back to ActionScript 2.
I have a main swf that acts as a shell and calls up external swfs via XML upon a button click.
I've read a number of tutorials over the past few hours, and have learned the basics of how to trace the XML information; however, I'm struggling getting the content to appear on stage.
I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
This is the bare bones of it:
Code:
sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;
addChild(sceneHolder);

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);

I am using this thumbnail gallery attached but instead of loading images through the xml I want to load external SWF'S. I also want to be able to control each SWF loaded in individually apparently in order to do that I need to give the container different instance names..however I don't know how to extend the code inorder to achieve this..

I am working on a an automatic slideshow that's also clickable with buttons...I got the code to work fine on my sample file, but now that I brought it over to the actual file I need to make a slideshow out of - the external SWFs don't load all the way!

I'm loading external swfs into my main swf and they should just be playing automatically. When I test in Flash, the system works. Upon loading the swf into an HTML page, the system seems to shut down. It seems liike the exteranl swfs aren't even loading. This is what I've got so far.
var clips:Array = ["amerishelf2.swf", "bedHardware.swf"];
var index:int = 0;
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);

I am delving into AS3 and need a little bit of help. I am building an application that allows users to view content by clicking "next" and "previous" with a visual cue telling the user what slide they have loaded (slide 1 of 15, slide 2 of 15 etc etc) but I am really struggling with it. I want to load each slide as an external SWF because they are heavy.
I found this code online which loads swfs when you hit a "next button" but I have no idea how to get it to work to load swfs when you click a "previous button" and how to add the slide reference:

I want to load the first swf, if the load is complete, load the second swf, etc. This seems logical but I get a compile error: Scene 1, Layer 'scripts', Frame 1, Line 24 1120: Access of undefined property swfLoader3.[code]...
View 3 Repliescurrently, I have a XML menu. I followed the tutorial from here: [URL]. It needs more work and tweaking, but that's for later. The menu.swf is from an external SWF and it's loaded into my index.swf using the loader.My question is how can I have the menu load different external SWFs, in other words, different part of the website. Do I create another loader in the index.swf for loading the website's content? Can I use the existing XML file for the loading the SWFs?
Here are the codes I have so far:

I have a small problem,(among many others...) i am loading an external swf using:
this.onRelease = function(){
loadMovieNum ("contentLondon.swf",50)
}
So the ext SWF loads on top of my main SWF, but i have other buttons that will load other ext SWF's. What i would like to do is when an ext SWF is loaded and the user choses to click another link from the main SWF, i would like to have the already loaded one "unload" so that the new one can load in place of it
I was wondering if there was a way to specify the order in which I load in external swfs. I have my main swf which loads in music, navigation and content, they all load at the same time, say i wanted to load in the music swf after the content has finished loading, how would i do that?

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I need a bit of help with an issue I am experiencing. I am trying to load external swfs on menu link clicks, inside my main movie. However, the external swfs are taking 8-10 secs gap in loading inside main swf.
The external swfs fetch data from a mysql database. My question is - Should I load the external swfs at the time of loading the main menu to override this problem? The concern here is that it might take longer for the main movie to load then.
I'm trying to load & unload external SWFs with transitions in Actionscript 3.I was able to do this in AS2 on the timeline but can't figure it out in AS3. Or if I can do it with straight Actionscript.[url]...
View 0 RepliesThis actionscript loads three external SWF's. It also creates three buttons to select which SWF is visible. How can I: The actionscript sets the alpha to - for the swf's that are not active, so they are invisible. Instead of making them invisible..how can I remove them completely without having to load them again when their designated button is selected? The problem is that they are stacking ontop of each other, even though not visibly, and greatly slowing down the movie that is visible.

var j = 0;

I have created a small website using Flash CS4/AS3. Each of the pages is a seperate swf which i am loading into a container swf file when a button is clicked.
However when i test the site, it gets progressively slower every time another page is loaded in.
All my buttons are located in the external swf files and call the 'page load functions' in my container swf
Here is the code from my container swf where all the swfs are loaded into[code]...
I've been trying to use loadMovie to load external SWFs into 200x200 MCs arranged on the stage. What I get is a strange placement of the loaded movies, and, the loaded movies don't appear as they should. The loaded movies are really all the same: they display 4 squares that change randomly every 3 seconds.
1) The loaded movies seem to use their center point as the registration point instead of the top left corner. Why? How can this be changed?
2) The loaded SWFs ("1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf") get transformed from 200x200 pixels to 100x100 pixels. Why?
I am loading external SWFs on my main flash file. For every External SWFs: They also have multiple levels. There is a base SWF and then 5 levels of other external SWFs there. So- i load an external SWF on my main flash and that external SWF also has its own external SWFs.

In AS3 i am using the Loader class to load in multiple external SWFs (AVM1), each of which has a short animation which automatically plays when the swf is I obviously cannot control the timeline of these (i can't use local connection etc) but would like to load in the *.swf files, so they're in memory then add them to the stage when requested. the problem is that if i load them enmass. then use addChild when they are called, they have already played through and animated pre the addChild command.
(I cannot edit the swfs at all, and would rather not load them on demand at runtime)
I've created 5 buttons to load 5 different external swfs into my webpage. I use the following script. How do I unload it when the next button is been clicked. [code]
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to load a bunch of external swfs into a tile list. Once the swfs have been loaded I'm adding them to a dataprovider which I then sort and add to the tilelist. Like so:
dp.addItem({label:e.currentTarget.content.getLabel(), path:e.currentTarget.content.getPath(), source:e.currentTarget.content, cost:e.currentTarget.content.getCost(), category:e.currentTarget.content.getCategory()});
It works fine except that the way I'm doing it I have to add a bunch of functions to each swf to know which one is loaded and pass the correct info to the dataprovider.Is there another way to tell which swf has been loaded? Something like this.URLRequest. If I could tell something about it I could compare that to my original xml and find out all the other information I need for my dataprovider.
