ActionScript 2.0 :: Calling Final Swfs Into A Main Movie Using MovieClipLoader?
Jan 15, 2009
I'm building a portfolio site for an art director. He has access to final swfs but not fla files, and I'm calling these final swfs into a main movie, using MovieClipLoader. The external swfs live in subfolders, relative to the location of the main movie. The problem, of course, is that when the external swfs are loaded they look for any additional swfs relative to the movie they're loaded into, and not relative to the folder they're located in. I've tried _lockroot -- no dice.

I need to use the unload and stop method.But my actionscript code calls individual swf files which contain 1 video player each. How would I add the unloadandstop methods into the existing actionscript?First question, add this code to the main.swf that is calling the swfs with thre players correct?So far I would I add a second set of event listeners for this function, like this?[code]

I have a main movie and a sidebar movie within it. In the sidebar movie, there is a tab that will insert text from an XML document based on the location of the playhead in the main timeline. I was thinking there must be some way to do an 'if else' statement to have the sidebar movieclip look for the playhead location in the main movie and get the appropriate child node based on that. However, I am not experienced enough in AS3, and I don't think I'm writing the function correctly. Here is the code, but there is also a link to the file I'm working with in case this code doesn't make sense:
PHP Code:
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
var Intro01txt:String = xmlData.scriptText[0].narration.text();

Anyway, I have a main.swf with a menu that is its own mc. (It needs to pop up when the menu button is clicked), from this menu I need external swfs to open inside my main.swf. I also want my external swfs to play in order. like mod_1.swf plays and then opens mod_2.swf ect.
(the menu is just for the user to jump around)
So I have started with this code... on the main timeline(Scene) I have a target code
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
container._x = 0
container._y = 0

I have a main flash movie, that launches an external swf. Now this works fine, but this external SWF, launches more external mini SWFs. What happens is that after going opening and closing these mini swfs, is that eventually the main swf, will start to to run beneath the the 1st external swf. i.e. I have a small animation that is suppose to stop and remain invisible until the secondary swf is closed.
But this is not the case, and very randomly this will start to happen, and it makes everything look like crap. At first I thought it was the fonts that I was using through out the swfs, because there were some design changes, but after updating the SWFs with the new embedded font I am still running into this issue.
Look at it like this.
main swf---->2nd swf--->numerous 3rd swfs

I think what I am looking for is a random action script. I want to make a swf (mainmovie.swf) that would call up random swfs. What would be ideal is that every time the person goes to the site a different file is called up out of the files I created. So what I have done is put my (mainmovie.swf) into a folder with all of the other swf files I want to be random. It does not need to load to any specific level or anything it could even just replace the original move (mainmovie.swf) what ever is the easiest.

I've looked through similar question on this site and can't find a solution, so here is my problem: I have a save function that saves some data.This function is in 1 movie clip in another movie clip. After the save I want to gotoAndStop(1) of the main time line not the current nested one. Below is the code:

I had to create a menu using array and I had to animate it. With some great expertise from people, I've accomplished that. But now I have a question about OOP, because I'm trying to add functionality to the buttons to load swfs into my main movie. Even though I strictly follow tutorials and exercises, I can't figure out how to reference a variable made in one class to another. For instance, I have index.as, navbar.as, and menubutton.as. I assume I need to add a loader to my index.as. But I can't trace the loader in my other classes. I've been told to effectively accomplish this, it is best to use custom event dispatchers. But I'm lost on how to use them.

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

I'm trying to set up a website that uses the MovieClipLoader class to load external images & swfs. The loader is working but I can't seem to get the preloader text to work, ie the onLoadProgress. The Percent text just has jibberish when I test the movie. Could some tell me what I'm doing wrong. Attached is the test file that I'm working on

I'm making an app. where you can create a character from a bunch of movie clips from the library (attributes of hair, clothing, etc.) using the attachMovie actionscript. I was wondering.. after the user has generated a character by attaching a bunch of movie clips, and then clicking a button, how can I create a new screen that displays the user's final character that was made?
Hope you can see what I'm trying to get at,,, the new screen would maybe have a 'container' that displays the movie clips selected in the previous screen..?

I have a Master SWF file that needs to load one of five different content SWFs on a random basis. In other words, I would like the visitor to see a different one of five content animations each time he/she visits the page. Is there a way to just call one of five different URLs on a random basis? Here's my code so far:
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
swfLoader.x = 12;
var swfURL:String = "b2bAnim1.swf"
[code]...
I would like to randomly differ the URL variable (swfURL) to select one of the following five URLs:
b2bAnim1.swf
b2bAnim2.swf
b2bAnim3.swf
b2bAnim4.swf
b2bAnim5.swf

I've used the code below to load swfs into my tileList and set their colors using setData() within each swf. Everything seems to work except "source:e.currentTarget.content". The swfs seem to be mixed up randomly each time it runs. Their colors are set correctly and all the other tilelist info is correct. What have I done wrong with "source:e.currentTarget.content"? I can swap "source:e.currentTarget.content" with "source:myXMLList[loadPosition].source" which gives me the correct swf but then the colors aren't set.
for(var f:int = 0; f<myXMLList.length(); f++){
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event):void{
Object(e.currentTarget.content).setData(myXMLList[loadPosition].param eter[0], myXMLList[loadPosition].parameter[1]);

i've created a project that i'm putting on cd-rom. this project calls some externals swf files. everything was working lovely until i tried it from the cd. all the called swf files are running way slow and it's just a mess.so i'm trying to figure out preloading to see if that will help. i used some script i found in a thread by Scotty, and looks like the external swfs preloaded okay. and i put a stop() on the first frame of each of the external swfs so they will not play immediately. but now i'm trying to call the swfs when i need them by using a gotoAndPlay(frame) and don't know what i'm doing wrong. i need to have these swfs not play on preload but when i call them, either by EnterFrame or onPress.[code]as an aside to this, some of the forums i've been reading say it's just bad to try doing all this with flash on a cd, that i should try rolling it into director. yowza, haven't touched director in a few years..

loadMovieNum("icon1.swf", target1_mc);
I am trying to build a presentation by calling external .swfs inside the .fla document.
By clicking a button I want to load an .swf (800 x 600) from the desktop into a target_mc inside a new flash document.
The problem is that once I press the button to load the .swf, instead of loading it into the target_mc, Internet Explorer pos up with a statement saying " To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." Once I click the options link, a new link appears "Allow Blocked Content". once I press it the .swf file loads into the Internet Explorer window full screen.
I want the .swf to load into the mc I am specifying INSIDE the flash document, not on the browser.

I'm experiencing problems when I try to load a movie that uses LoadVars() into another movie that uses MovieClipLoader method to load the first file. My goal is to secure the flash movie and the contents that are accessed from the database and display the contents with a non-editable form (this is a "backend movie"). The best way I found is to load this "backend" swf with MovieClipLoader from another movie that acts as "frontend".
The problem is, that every time I load the main movie I'm able to see the form of the loaded clip but the content is not fully loaded (maybe because the ASP page has not delivered all the content to LoadVars). For example I can see 3 of 6 text that are being loaded with LoadVars() in the backend movie. Individually, the backend movie is working fine and I always can see my form with dynamic text without any interrumption. how can I load the movie to another one or how can I secure the backend including the URL that access the database?
