ActionScript 2.0 :: Addressing Of .swf-files Loaded Into Levels Of Another .swf-file [fmx 2004]
Apr 26, 2004
Im a bit confused about the adressing of .swf-files loaded into levels of another .swf-file. The adressing seem to be absolute, ie. if a sub.swf (which is loaded into a super.swf from another location) uses some sort of adressing (for instance, loading an image), that adress must include the path from the super.swf.
Cant you change that somehow, so that sub.swf's can adress other stuff relatively to its own adress? Can you do that globally (so that relative adressing is used by every .swf)? Can you set it individually, so that adressing is relative only from the specified swf's?
The main swf file of my site loads other swf files into it. Nothing hard there!But one of these loaded swf's has a number of buttons and what I need it to do is load aditional swf's into 'levels' of that file (not the main swf).I just can't seem to do it. Everything works fine but the swf's load into the main swf meaning they overlap areas that I don't want them to appear inYou can load into levels within a loaded swf.2) Does each swf have its own levels or do we have to use only one set of levels that are in the main swf.3) And if they do have their own levels, how on earth do I tell it to load into them.My AS is as simple as this;loadMovieNum("quail01.swf", portvar);portvar is a variable.As I say it works fine when testing it within this swf, but as soon as I use the 'main swf', it loads into that files levels.
I'm trying to wrap my head around writing .as files in MX 2004. As a practice file I made a MovieClip called SquareClip in the library of flash file. I made the linkage name SquareClip. My .as file called Square looks like this:
I am trying to make some way of addressing a movieclip but I want it to be able to change. I have a for loop which is creating a new movieclip instances until it is equal to or less than my arrays length. Well it makes all these and it names them test0 test1 test2 test3.. and so on. Now I am trying to write a loop that address all of them, the only problem is I dont know how to use a variable to address them, or some work around to do so.
I've been following the techlabs tutorial on building an as3 slideshow as I'm just getting used to as3.I've been trying to load in .swf files instead of static jpegs, but it won't work.I'm assuming this part of the code is what won't allow the .swf files to be loaded from the xml file...end a hand and explain what this section is doing and if possible what to change to get it to load swf's as well as jpegs...?
I have created a flash movie which loads a XML file. This XML file contains around 8 links.
Now I am trying to load another XML files corresponding to each link. That is, if clicked on Link1, flash movie should load XML File 1, Link2 should load XML File 2 and so on.
I have a menu list, and I want that when I click on an item, an instance of a movie clip from the library is loaded in the stage and that a specific title and content (dynamically loaded text from a .txt file) are loaded into that instance.I found out how to do the first part of the process, but I still don't know how to get the dynamic text, and then put it in its place... here's my code:
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.
I have tried all manner of AS3 scripts to no avail. Most scripts that are listed on the internet either loads them and displays them at the same time (simlutaneously) or I get script errors.
I am new flash developer, and inherited a project which has 4 fla project files. When it runs inside a browser, it appears "window" which occupies whole browser. This project is write in Flash CS3. I have few questions:
1). When loading main swf file, 3 other swf files are also loaded. These swf files are communicating with each other through message. When debug the mail swf with CS3, I can set breakpoint and the program can stop only at limited AS files. My questions is how to debug other AS files in other swf file?
2) I used CS5. It seems that I can stop at more AS files, which does not belong to main swf file. Why?
My questions is should I use CS5, which might makes debugging easier? Is it right direction to go to debug multiple swf? (For CS5, I need to fix some code in order to make the program fully working as CS3)
3) What's best tool to use for such project since CS3 is very old. Should I use Flash builder, Flex. Amethyst?
I am creating a web page that allows users to upload their own swf files to my web page, which are then used by the main web page as components. This creates a security issue though because I don't want the uploaded swf files to access other files on the server.
when the main webpage starts, it loads whatever third party swf files the user specifies. Is there a way for my main web page to change the security settings of the loaded swf so that the loaded swf is treated like it was loaded from another domain? Or is there another way I can provent these uploaded swfs from accessing local files on the server.
i have a movie that has 3 buttons on it..(and there r 7 of these button containing movies being loaded into my main movie...but this is not important in our case i guess.) anyway, each button loads a movie (they r draggable windows) into my main movie, located in different levels (not targets)..the problem is i want to change the alpha and depths of these draggable movies.eg;when i click on a button i want that draggable movie to come forward and set its alpha to 100 and the other two to 30..i could do this by loading the windows in target locations..but i can't do it when i load them in levels..
2.On click load the actual image which again is generated via XML file.
Now in the past I have used XML for a menu system, but I'm finding it hard to come up with this by myself from scratch. I can't seem to break the concept of how I would set this up. If anyone can lead me in the right direction with a link or example etc,
Does anyone know if there is any way for a Flash projector (either .exe or Mac app) to create or modify a file to the local file system? This could be anything... Flash creating a txt file, xml file, swf, anything at all.

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.
I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.
What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.
Is it possible to control one loaded SWF File eg.(MOVIE-1.swf) from another loaded SWF file eg.(MOVIE-0.swf) on a different level? eg. with a syntax like:
I've been modifying some code I wrote a while ago that simply loads and plays an external FLV. The original code works well as I can simply copy the swf into any folder and when run, it will play the FLV with the given name in that particular folder.
I decided to have a photo still over of the movie before it plays, so I modified the script and 'loader' to put in the external Jpg. If I test the swf it works fine. But when I install the code from a sub folder into a webpage via 'object', the Flash file trues to find the photo in the webpage folder not the sub folder where the swf originates and where both the FLV and jpg are?? Both the FLVplayback and Jpg loader address in the same way in 'parameters' of properties, yet the FLV plays and the jpg won't. I only discovered what exactly was happening on a hunch and copied a different photo into the main web page folder with the same name.
I have also rewritten it a completely different way using movieloader, but got exactly the same results. I know I could put the full web address of the jpg into the parameters, but then I have to modify it every time I use it. I'd really like to be to simply copy it into another folder.
I have the instance 'CONTENT_ldr' on the main timeline. Now I need to load an swf into it using AS when I press on the 'Illu_mc' button placed in my HomeMenu_mc. Heres the script I have placed in my HomeMenu_mc:
I imported the flvplayback component on-stage in one frame and gave the instance a name of hv.If a button takes the movie to another frame, how do I pause the flv at that point
I have a movieClip, in it a button, in it another movieClip (activated on mouse over). When i rollOver it works normally, it stops at the 15th frame as it should. Now I have another 15 frames for the rollOut and i can't get them to play,
