is it possible to detect if a Movie has been loaded to do an action determined? like an if statement? If the movie has been loaded, gotoAndPlay ("loaded"), else ("notloaded");

View 1 RepliesI'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,
My site consists of a main swf file ('home.swf') which then has other swfs loaded into it via an empty movie clip.I have created one such swf. file (news.swf) which features 2 simple scrolling text buttons (one to move text down, and the other to move it up).http:[url].....
Everything works fine when I preview the news.swf on its own, but when I preview the home.swf and view the news.swf loaded into it, the button which should move the text up doesn't work.I think it's something to do with using the term _root. but i don't know what to replace it with.This is the script I have on the button that doesn't work:
//Events during mouse click
on(press) {
_root.controller.gotoAndPlay (2);[code]........
Is it just a case of changing the _root. term, and if so what should I change it to, or is it trickier than that.
what Actionscript to put in a movie to detect whether that movie has been loaded into another movieclip?
In case that isn't clear: movie A loads movie B into a myMovieClip. What code can I put in movie B to detect that it is now a child of myMovieClip, or indeed any movie?
is it possible for the main movie to detect when a new movie has loaded in a new level?
View 4 RepliesI am looking for a script to detect if the mouse has not moved for say 15 seconds or 30 seconds, and if this is the case then, its plays some movie-clip or follows with the next scene.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.
View 3 RepliesI'm seeking a method that tells me whether my code is running inside an AIR app or not. Something a lot less tacky than polling an AIR-only method. So far, searching the docs has been unfruitful.

View 1 RepliesI have an external transparent swf loading in to my movie. The swf has to be imported over a button element on stage. The swf plays for a few seconds than it appears to go off-stage... at which point I need to free up that button to be clicked.
So, I need to detect when that movie has finished playing and then unload.
My code so far.
Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

I can't get my head around this. I know there's a clever way to do this but none of my ideas seem to be the solution. I'd like to dispatch an event when there are no more items to be loaded. I'm working with Drupal and AMFPHP and loading some nodes. The number of nodes may vary from day to day so I need a way to know when the last one has loaded.
In the code below, I am building an array to use elsewhere in the application. Once all nodes have finished loading I'd like to know what the final length of portfolioItems is.

I have a main swf that will load external swfs into a container. I need to detect the end of the loaded external swf in order to start to load and play a new one into the same container. The problem is that i do not know what the length of the external swfs will be, and will have no control over the development of them, so i cannot place a variable at the end of their animation which would allow me to detect from the main movie its end. I also cannot rely on the _totalFrames property because the loaded swf might not have all the animation inside its main timeline.
View 5 RepliesSo I'm trying to detect if a variable has been changed by a swf loaded into another swf.What I'm doing is when a thumbnail is clicked on the child swf I want it to fire a function on the main swf. I can get the model to trace out when the value was changed inside of the child swf by itself but when i load it into the main swf I can't get the onModelChanged event to fire off.Container swf as

In the past, using Flash CS3 when I needed to remove timers or event listeners from a swf that had been loaded into a parent swf I'd use this inside the loaded swf:
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, deactivate, false, 0, true);
function deactivate(e:Event):void
{
[code]....
Now that I've upgraded to CS5 and am outputting to Flash Player 10 this no longer seems to work. The event fires right away. Does anyone know why this might be and if there's an alternative that I can use?I tried the unloadAndStop() method in the parent swf but I'm trying to remove some TweenMax delay timers and it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm going to load some external files in to my main fla-file. I want the code in my main fla to be executed when all files are properly loaded.
#include "MyFile.as"
I had this:
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleted);
loader.load(new URLRequest("MyFile.xml"));
[code]....
but now I want to include an as-file aswell so both has to be loaded before loadCompleted triggers.

I have multiple Flash forms that all go to the same database via php I am trying to figure out how to have a pre-determined "Value" for one of these fields..URL...then "Collectors" then "Invitation Request" Once you choose what type of collector you are a drop down form comes up. I need a way to make the first field or "type of collector" to be filled in and send the different pre-filled fields to my database...I know this is a complicated explanation but I don't know how to ask it any simpler.
View 2 RepliesIs there a script that checks if the flash is loaded from a local drive?Example: Keric opens a flash file. The script then checks if the file is being played from a local drive. If it's not, ads will be displayed.Something like a domain lock. Uhm, local drive lock?

View 2 RepliesI am loading jpgs into an MC. I make sure I wait to run and modification to the MC by confirming the image is loaded first.If I comment out the IF statements within the function "RW_pic_modifications()" and I trace the width and height of the MC AFTER each photo is loaded, I successfully trace the correct W and H.
My issue, however is when I DO RUN IT THROUGH the conditions within the "RW_pic_modifications()" function. Then any modifications to the MC W and H seem to compound and apply it to each iteration of the next MCs.I confirmed that my code and logic is correct. I just dont understand why performing a resize to the MC with one jpg loaded into it is not reset to the NEW JPG loaded into it, after the new JPG is loaded.
NOTE - I have an MC that stops on a frame until all the code here is executed. Once complete, then this MC plays to allow the pic to stay on screen for a given amount of time THEN it calls on the RW_Pauser() function.I am way over deadline.
Code:
How_long_to_pause = 4000;
Maximum_Image_Width = 137;[code].....

I am with big problem, example I am making a "item product", that he goes to show image, the description of the product and the price of the product, the image, the description and the price, I am catching these data of my HTML.[code]As I would make thus, in my HTML I have that to put 4 images, 4 description and 4 prices it to works normal, without giving error, but if I to place 2 images, 2 description and 2 prices it show 2 products, but it still goes until the end of timeline showing nothing.how I would make if I placed only 3 or 2 products, it I would only twirl these 3 with Loop, if I placed 1 product only show 1 time without loop, it he would be without Loop and thus for ahead?
View 1 RepliesI'm working in Flash 9, AS2.
I have a button that (should) open a new window whose URL is determined by a variable, downloadlink:
on(press) {
downloadlink = _root.download[songnumber];
_root.getURL(downloadlink, "_blank");
}
I've traced this, and the variable for downloadlink is working correctly, pulling in a full URL like [URL] from an array in the root
this does not seem to be a popup block issue - because when I replace the code with: downloadlink = [URL] ... the new page opens with no problem, in a new window
I want to build a xml news with images, the image path is there in XML. Image serve as thumb, and then news title and content below...if we have 3 item as news, we all stack it vertically and using scrollbar to sroll content below. done that, but...this time, I want to use different kind of HEIGHT of the images, so my vertical scrollbar can scroll them down. my previous file,I load a fixed height, so stacking will not a problem. For instance if we know that the max thumbnail is 150pixel, then its easy, after XML loaded,I run a function to stack them, let say the next news Text(title & decs) is 150px + 10pixel as vertical offset.
However, if I dunno the next image's height, flash seems cannot detect the height of the PhotoMC where we load images to.so we cannot execute all in one frame, I heard we can achieve this using listener.my pseudocode is something like this
Code: Select allloading News XML
Process XML
Detect Thumb?if Yes,[code].......
how to achive this? So I can detect the dynamic pics_mc._height being loaded and stack them properly?
I have the following composition from my designer:
So, I have to load these two HTML paragraphs from an XML file and put them in two actionscript created text fields. The text fields are multiline, wrapped and html and they are displayed just fine. Then I have to hilight one of the textfields just like in the image above so I must define a function that takes this textfield as an argument and creates a movieclip behind it. All I have to do further is draw some lines in this movieclip.
The problem is I just can't detect the newline characters in the text field so I can draw the hilights from the start of each line to the end of it.
Here is my function:
function hilight(sapou_txt){
var hilight_mc = sapou_txt._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("hilight_mc",-1);
hilight_mc._x = -5;
hilight_mc._y = sapou_txt._y;}
There would be .indexOf("") method of strings but if I use it after sapou_txt.text this has no result because, apparently, all I have there is a string without any special newline characters, just as I loaded it from the XML file, minus HTML tags.
If I use sapou_txt.htmlText apparently I get the original text including the HTML tags but, again, no special newline characters and, as you probably realised from my description above, I need both newlines from HTML (wich are not so hard to detect) and newlines caused by wrapping text in the textfield. Anyway, if I succeed in detcting newlines in the text field then I won't need the newlines in my original HTML.

Ok so basicaly what I want to do is load in an external swf onto the stage which is 1024x768, above all existing items (so preferably into an existing container mc) but set the loaded swf's width/height so that it fits into a pre-determined space of 700x400, even though the loaded SWF is larger.
The stage of the SWF being loaded in is 700x400, which as stated above is the desired size, but objects within it are larger than it's stage for purposes of the animation. This means that when you load the SWF onto your current stage with the normal loadMovie("xxx.swf","container") you wind up seing parts of the object that would normaly be outside the 700x400 stage if you were to view the SWF on it's own, obviously resulting in an ugly movie clip.
I could cover up those parts with extra layers, but the majority of the primary stage is transparent so this isn't really an option. So, is there a way to load an external SWF but only display the actual stage of that SWF, or set the width/height to mimmick the same sort of thing?
