ActionScript 2.0 :: Cancel Loading Before Completed
Aug 15, 2006
I am getting some strange results while loading large files dynamically, and testing my movies. Even if I delete the object in which the external file is loading, the bandwidth of the loading seems to continue. Either Im not doing a good job of cleaning up after myself, or the test environment when exporting a movie isn't accurate, or ... there is no way to cancel the effects of
[Code]...
Is this going to be the case online? (difficult for me to test right now) Is there a way to break off the loading once it has begun? (I thought by deleting the object that called the loading function, I would end the loading)
I can't seem to get a MovieClip loaded using the MovieClipLoader.loadClip method to cancel.I try calling the loader's unloadClip method, but that does not do the trick. Also tried simply using the unloadMovie method on the actual clip instance but that didn't work
how do you tell a loader to stop / cancel what it is currently loading? (or is it even possible?) i have a set of navigation buttons, which when clicked, will load an external swf on to a movieclip called "pagesHolder" thats on stage... this works fine, i have even added...
[Code].....
to make sure that only 1 swf can be seen at a time and they wont overlap each other when you click on the different buttons... however, when you click on another button before the previous swf finishes loading, then you will begin to have problems.. it will load another swf, without first cancelling the previous swf from loading.. and this can be seen in the bandwidth profiler(the items being loaded begin to stack up as i keep clicking on the buttons again and again)..
below is the code im using.. ive omitted the unimportant parts... the loadPage function will begin when a button is clicked...
I am having a problem with loadMovie(); I have a button that loads external SWF into a container, but when another button is released loading a different SWF into same container, that SWF twitches and doesn't load properly.Is there a way to cancel an external SWF from loading during the load process? Or is there an easier way to prevent this using onLoadProgress(); with a while loop?And I am some what new to listeners and loadProgress(); programming
I have started working with Flash MX again and I am making a presentation CD.
I have a dynamic text field and a menu with buttons. Some of the buttons tell the dynamic text field to load data from online files, and some load it from offline files (which is obviously quicker).
The problem i have is
-I click Button 1, which loads online data
-I click Button 2, which loads offline data BEFORE the data for button 1 is loaded.
What this does is loads the data from button 2 which is fine. But then it overwrites it with the data from button 1 which was taking longer!
Is there some way i can tell it to stop running actionscript for button 1?
As you can see from the last line of the piece, i have a the creationComplete option run two functions. What I would LIKE to happen is once the repeater is done loading all of the block:project pieces for each function to run once and only once. Instead, the two functions are running after each is created. I tried putting the creation complete in the tag, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to tell the creationComplete piece to run only when the last piece of the repeater has been created?
I have an swf, lets call it 1.swf, that has a button that calls another swf to level one. In that second swf, lets call it whatever.swf, on layer 1 it has an flv file of about 40 seconds. on layer two it has a button that has this action:
on (release) { unloadMovie(1); loadMovie("../swf/1.swf", 1); }
So if that button is pushed, then it unloads whatever.swf as I need it to.
the problem is that if that button is not pressed, then when that 40 second flv finishes, it just sits there with a black stage and the button. What i need it to do is that when that 40 second flv is finished, it automatically unloads whatever.swf on level 1, again showing 1.swf on level 0.
Also, before anyone anwers, the way i did the flv is that in whatever.swf the flv was imported to the stage, i slected the "already deployed" put in the URL and then it created a flash video component which is on the stage.
I'm loading a bunch of swfs into my movie and when they are finished loading I need to change each swfs color based on my xml data. My problem is when my Event.COMPLETE fires I don't know which loader it belongs to to retrieve the correct xml. I've tried giving my loaders names but I can't seem to access the name from the Event.Complete function. My trace causes the error: Property name not found on flash.display.LoaderInfo and there is no default value. How do I access my loader name?

Is there a way to cancel a function? I seem to be stuck on my own code. I am using an onClipEvent(enterFrame) to call a function to detect input from the user, to move a character around the screen, and on another layer (but in the same frame) I am calling that function. I want to cancel this 'after' I do a setInterval.
I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
I am trying to create a video that can be streamed on a website. The video started with a screen grab of the video on frame one. This has the action on stop();. When this screengrab is clicked, gotoAndStop(2); is fired and the timeline moves to frame 2 and the video starts to stream. All is well... Except from when the video finishes...
When the video finishes I have tried using the code
on (complete) { gotoAndPlay(1); }
To go back to the origonal screen grab on frame one but it doesnt seem to budge.
i have a mx:AdvancedDataGrid control with animation on resize. And i need to resize another contol A accordingly with mx:AdvancedDataGrid size. But resizing of contol A is too slow.
Threrefore, the addition of resize handler is bad solution. I want to get the time when the animation is completely stopped either the new size of mx:AdvancedDataGrid control.
I have multiple functions in one frame. Each function runs an seperate animation. I would like to have the first animation run, and then as soon as that animation is complete, I would like to have the next animation play, and on so on.
I have a button over the top of an image that performs an action upon rollover. I placed an arrow button over the top of this button to allow the user to scroll through the images, but when I rollover the arrow button it cancels out the rollover underneath it. What I need is for the first rollover action to remain while the user hovers over the arrow. I am using Flash 8, ActionScript 2.
How to unload a swf file when i click on close button and to also go to another frame in timeline. I would like to know if when I unload will this cancel the downloading of the f4v video? I have an swf to load, here is the code.
stop(); vid1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClickHandler289); function mouseClickHandler289(eve:MouseEvent):void { var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); myLoader.x = 300; myLoader.y = 122; addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("nov.swf"); myLoader.load(url); }
I've got a DataGrid that shows a tooltip on each item.. but there are a few items where there shouldn't be a tooltip. So I thought I could prevent the being showed.
I've done a lot of C# programming with both Winforms and WPF. I'm working on a Flex/Air app now for cross platform support. But this is my first flex project, so I'm learning as I go. I've got a window that I want to popup, that the user will fill out a form, then hit OK or CANCEL. I set it up the same way I would've in C#, but it doesn't work, and I can't really see a way to make it do what I want.
I have a video streaming/downloading in flash. When you click play it starts the download and plays the video. If I click stop your browser still carries on downloading the file, how do I cancel or pause the download?
I have been using this tutorial to get RPG text boxes in my game. So far, so good. The RPGtext.as I'm using comes from that tutorial, and hasn't been altered, while I'm calling the var arrays containing the character speeches from yet another document class. Something like this:
[Code]....
The dialogue begins and it's all good. Now, here's my dilemma: Is there a way to "shut down" the rpgText movieclip when the Dialogues.d1 has no more text to provide? Each time I press the rpgText movieclip, it refreshes with new text, but when it reaches the final text, I want to be able to press it and make it go away (remove movieclip from scene, something like that).
I tried the "if (Dialogues.d1.length == 0)", but it doesn't work. Is there a way to detect if the Dialogues.d1 has reached its final sentence? Will it be necessary to alter the rpgText.as?
I have a slidshow inside of a flash page. It works great on my desktop, but when I upload it to a server I get the infamous Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. I initially assumed that I must have missed uploading a file, so I uploaded the whole folder, Photoshop files and all, thinking that I could start deleting things until I found the culprit. But even after I uploaded everything that I have, the browsers still gave me the same error with no slide show. I'm wondering if my call to the .swf (from inside a .swf) needs to be different on a server.[code]...
I have made this very simple slideshow which loads images via a XML file. Everything works fine locally, the images load nice slideshow. But the problems start when I load it up to my server, once it is uploaded and I try t o play it I get this error: [QUOTE]Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.[/QUOTE]
It has something to do with the .xml file which I load in AS here: var request_xml:URLRequest=new URLRequest("setup.xml");
I tried to replace it with ("[URL]") but then I got a sandbox violation error which is not solvable unless you get it signed (I read that somewhere). The way I load images in XML: <SLIDE_SHOW> <PICTURE>ImagesBw/Foto1.JPG</PICTURE> ... </SLIDE_SHOW> [URL]
