ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Disappearing - Set The Dimensions Of The Loader So The External Swf Doesn't 'spill Over', The Result Is A Blank Screen?
Mar 26, 2010I have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Open JPG Using Loader And URLRequest
Mar 27, 2012I am loading an image using Loader class and with URLRequest, but for some reason I am struggling to reference a file in a sub folder of the root (where the SWF is exporting to) this is local testing and I am assuming that if I refer using an absolute path on a web server it would work - but I do prefer to use relative paths for simplicity.I get the above error, but I know that the file name is correct as moving it to the same folder as the SWF works fine - but in implementation should I wish to organise hundreds of JPGs and create a gallery it would be a bit messy to store them at root level. As mentioned previously I am working on a local drive at present, and have no plans to move to a web server as this is just a test file for my own learning purposes.i have tried "folder/filename.jpg" and even on the unlikely side "folderfilename.jpg" and even further far-fetched "../rootfolder/folder/filename.jpg".The only issue is the path, I am sure of it - but the filename is correct.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWFs, AddChild(Loader) Versus AddChild(Loader.content), Etc?
Jul 29, 2009I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Check If A URLStream On A Loader Is Open Or Closed
Jun 30, 2010I have to be able to cancel and kill a Loader process properly and many times. If I dont do this, it seems that the flash player (at least on mac) eventually crashes as some loader processes are flying about , strangling the CPU.
There doesnt seem to be a straightforward way to know this and just calling a Loader.close causes an error, if the stream is not open.

Xml :: Passing Params To An External Swf Via Loader?

I am currently generating XML from inside an ActionScript file, and would then like to display this map using my generated XML as the argument.

Nov 1, 2011I am trying to load an external swf into another swf using Loader but I am having difficulties to do so. The thing seems to be that some of the classes of the loaded clip are called the same as the parent clip's classes. Both swf's document classes are called "Launcher", for example, also they use StringUtil (tho both projects have their own "StringUtil" class).

ActionScript 1/2 :: Loader Not Linking To External Swf Being Loaded
Jul 13, 2010I am trying to make this website, which has separate files for different screen resolutions. I am using a first.swf file to load the right file, depending on the screen resolution, it goes to a different frame for diff resolutions. There I have placed a loadMovie function.The code for the loader follows the loadMovie call. loadingbar is a movieclip on screen, which presently does nothing.[code]This was displaying nothing, so I replaced the _root.loadMovie with mcholder.loadMovie("filename.swf"). This is not working either, the screen flashes for one second and then disappears. I put a stop(); before the code, and the screen remained, but the movie still did not load.I txt1.text shows 100. meaning percentage did reach hundred, but I am guessing that is for first.swf, and not for the file which is being loaded.

My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed.
I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can't find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
Any help much appreciated...thanks in advance.
Actionscript 3 - When Does Flash.display.Loader Add The External Swf To Itself
Jun 2, 2010I am using the Loader to load an external swf into my program. Inside the external swf, I need to be able to access the Loader instance that just loaded it. Does the loader add the external swf to itself before any code inside the swf gets executed? When is it safe to access the loader via the following code?
var target:DisplayObject = this;
while(!(target is Loader) && DisplayObject(target).parent != null){
target = DisplayObject(target).parent;
