I have created a button in flash 8 to act as a play button for mp3 files on a website in drupal. I however am having trouble, since am new to ActionScript, to make the button load an external mp3 file without hardcoding it in the flash.

I'm using this code to create a netstream connection, to load my external FLV-files
ActionScript Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection;
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
later in my script i use this code to attach a external video in my netstream and start to play it
ActionScript Code:
_root.contentFoto.contentFoto.holder.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("vids/" + dataList[activeSub].dataInfo[item].pic);
How do I stop that clip and unload the movie of my netstream

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to find out how to create external files from a SWF/exe/app file created in Flash. Essentially I'm building a program to create templates for levels in a game. The SWF will be run locally (e.g. not online) and will allow the user to add/remove objects to a level of their design. They then need to be able to save the level template (ideally I need to be able to save as a JSON* file, but I'm sure I could get away with just a simple txt file) somewhere on their computer. These templates will them be imported by the game itself (not written in Flash, hence why I need to save the data as a json or txt file), which will then re-create the levels from the data contained in the save file.
I had assumed this would be something that was really simple to do, but I cannot seem to find any tutorials or information on how to create external files. I can find plenty on reading from existing external files, but nothing about actually writing a new file entirely. I have read a few people complaining that non-local Flash SWFs cannot access the user's hard drive for security reasons, but cannot find any information on local SWFs.
If anyone could tell me even roughly what I'm looking for, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm a bit stuck just now haha *I have downloaded the corelib files which allow me to work with JSON files
How do you load external swf files into your current flash document?
I have made a menu bar with 5 buttons. I want each button to load a new swf outside the current document upon mouse click.

View 6 RepliesStructure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a basic flash script to load an external swf file using MovieClipLoader class. Here's my code:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("splash.swf",5);
I simply copied it from a tutorial. Unfortunately it throws an error message as follows:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MovieClipLoader
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method.
PS: I have CS3 professional in my machine but I am following Flash 8 book. But my CS3 application supports AS1, 2 and 3.
I am an uber n00b to flash AS3. And it is not my intention to sound like a complete moron, but honestly, I have had a hard enough time figuring out just how to load an external .swf into my main file! add a button within the external .swf which will unload itself and load a new on in its place.
View 1 RepliesI have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing. These flash movies load an external xml file.This is failing.The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.[url]...

View 5 RepliesI know how to load in external .as files so I can update easily. but why do you still have to re-publish the swf in order for the new .as file 2 take effect.
is there any way that you can make a .as file be read in & so that it updates the .swf file, much like the way loading an xml or .txt file does?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code.

I'm new to Flex and I'm trying to write a program with lots of content in it. There's a sidebar, a main content pane with tabs, etc.I want to be able to create MXML files (like sidebar.MXML, tab1.mxml, etc.) that I can then load into the sidebar or load into a certain tab. That would make my code a lot more manageable instead of writing all that code inside of the main MXML file.Can I do this? I have already modularized some of my code by putting them in custom components, but I would really like to be able to load content from other MXML files, much like I can do in PHP:
View 3 RepliesI have a site that loads external swf files using the loader in AS3:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myexternal.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
this works wonderfully, but what I need to do is have a button in the this SWF, when clicked, unload itself, and load a different external SWF.
I have a main presentation file with 3 external movies that load into the main file. The SWF version works great. Our clients use PC's so I publish my files as windows projector files (exe).

View 8 RepliesThe following is from an application that uses the Welsh alphabet, loading in audio of each letter-sound and pushing them into an array (supposedly in alphabetical order) for later use. However, this fails to work correctly as they end up in the wrong order as the order in which they are pushed into the array is dictated by the order in which their load completes, not the order in which they were loaded.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI need it to be in Action script 3 though. I did find a tutorial on this website that is labeled loading random movies but its written for a very old version of flash from 2004.
I am trying to load multiple swfs into a main swf one after another. So after one plays the next one plays etc. I need it to be random as well. As in I am going to be taking some swfs out then putting new ones in the rotation. This is a slideshow so to speak of different swfs displaying current promotions and when the promos are over I need to remove them from the rotation. I right now have one big long swf that contains all the different rotated promos I hope this was easy to understand.
i was wondering if their was a way to load external files in advance and to integrate these in the loading progress of the flash file (in the beginning ... you know, with a load bar)i used and changed the photogallery of kirupa, and in the code i integrated a piece that positions every image depending of its size.i put it in the tag where "if" says that the file has loaded completely and the fade in may start.... wel, it works, but some times it doesn't position well. just like the image ain't loaded well. when you go to the next image and then go back it works.if you want to see it, here's the url

View 2 RepliesI have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?

I can't figure out how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)
var myItems:Array = new Array("swf01.swf", "swf02.swf", "swf03.swf", "swf04.swf", "swf05.swf", "swf06.swf", "swf07.swf", "swf08.swf", "swf09.swf");
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("myItems[0]", this.getNextHighestDepth());
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?
I am trying to load external swf files in a main movie.I have created 3 different movies. Main movie is named "Container". Another 2 movies are named "movie1.swf" and "movie2.swf".Main movie "Container" is having some navigation buttons and template sort of thing in it. On the lowest layer in main movie I have created an empty movie clip in which I am trying to load "movie1.swf".Now problem is when I load "movie1.swf" instead of loading the external movie in target mc, it clears all the contents in main movie.
