ActionScript 2.0 :: Determine Total Frames In External Swf?
Apr 29, 2009
I need to be able to load a couple of external .swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the forum notes I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the .swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);
var mcListener:Object = new Object();
[code]...
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored. how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but actually playing through to the end.)

At the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
The names of the dynamic text labels are:
"cFrame" and "tFrames"

how to build a timeline scrubber that can scrub more than one scene.
1. Scene 1 had 20 frames
2. Scene 2 had 20 frames
3. On scene 1 I put the slider that scrub the timeline. The totalFrames; sum all the frame from all the scene.
4. When i scrub the slider to frame 21 error occurred saying that the slider couldn't be found. So i paste the slider in scene 2.
So how to continue scrub on scene 2? How to make a slider that can scrub all scene and move along showing the current frames?

I m new to actionscript 2.0 and flash cs3 (on which the team was working before). I have managed to learn basics (though not completely) of flash and AS2. Our project is about creating an e-learning tool that will enable the students to improve their english grammar skills through different lessons e.g noun, adjective verb etc.
i m trying to write a generic code that, after completion, should work for around 40 lessons in the entire tool. making 1 main.fla that should work for all lessons, seems interesting but a challenging job. i can not find any thread or blog that wud tell me CAN I COUNT THE NUMBER OF SCREENS IN MY LESSON AND THEN AT RUN TIME MY main.fla SHOULD HAVE THAT MANY FRAMES. i will try to explain this through an example: in noun.xml, i calculated 30 screens, so i need 30 frames for noun.xml....whereas if in adjective.xml, i have 50 screens, i should have 50 frames......therefore, i need to calculate the number of screens in my lesson, and then dynamically insert that many frams in my application, can i do that...

I have a SWF which loads another SWF with addChild(), but the graphic designer, says that he wont put code into the animation. So is its possible to check how many frames there is in the external SWF and if it has reached the last frame, checked from the master SWF? and then the master can do a function...?

IS the code used for AS3 in the frames so much different from the code used in the external .as files? Because when I try something simple in an external file, it doesn't work. For example, if I try to dynamically make textfield box, and set it to input :
Code:
var textInput:TextField = new TextField();
textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
I just get errors. Why is this? And is there some place I can find a guide for like.. how to write in the external as files (even though that's a very broad area..)

I am loading the external movie, "1.swf" into my main stage. Is there a way that once "1.swf" has loaded, I can trace its timeline and when the playhead reaches the last frame, trigger an action? (load "2.swf").
"1.swf" was created by a 3rd party and I do not have the source files, so I have no way of adding actionscipt to it.

Have read everything I can read Have tried everything I that has been posted. And still I can seem to get a simple external swf to load and play using AS3. I have tried numerous ways with the same results everytime Here are a few of the scripts I have tried. What I would like to have happen is to have one main timeline where I load sequentially external SWF files - there is no interaction required - it is a presentation that includes video and other Flash SWF files that I have created. Now I just want them all in one flash file. I had no problems with AS2 doing this, but I'm sure having fits with AS3
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest
("script1_3.swf");

I am learning about loadmovie.How do you load a movie on the press of a button - into a specific frame? A frame that was targeted by the button's actionscript.(Basically, I have set up a portfolio flash site. I have all of my images in the .swf so the file is larger than it could be. In the portfolio section of my .swf I have thumbnails that on pressing them go to a different frame within that clip to display the larger version of the image. Naturally, I want to load these larger images in only when the thumbs are clicked on.)

I have my files set up to where a main swf has the main navigation and a container which draws each sub page into it. The sub pages have a navigation as well that was telling buttons where to go on the main movie timeline (with _level0.) I had to move my navigation down in the main swf file so i took the nav off the main timeline and put it in a movie clip so i could move all at once. Now my sub pages on external swfs with _level0.gotoAndPlay("frame"); dont work.
Is there any way to direct an external swf to play a certain frame within a movie clip in another swf?
I've tried changing _level0 to _level1, _root, _parent, _child, and using _root.mc_name.gotoAndPlay("frame"). none of which has worked.

I seem to be having a very weird issue with AS3/Flash 9.
Let me paint the picture: we have a website that loads in 6 different icon buttons, each with their own animation for rollover/rollout. EVERY flash file and embedded timeline video for the icons is 30FPS. However, flash seems to sometimes make it's own decision on frame rate and suddenly the icons will speed up to what seems like 5x the normal frame rate (for example, running through the rollover animation in .5 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

I generally don't mess with the timeline, but I need to for this project. In a nutshell: user can customize a product reference sheet with her choice of crossection, footprint, etc. All those choices exist as external swfs. In order to be legible, the reference sheet must be two pages.I know how to print multiple frames with Flash. But what I cannot yet achieve is loading external swfs into movieclips on different frames, and then print that. Here's my code from a test fla:[code]Now, this code will print both frames as separate pages, but the loaded image in printArea.holder2 does not print!

I'm actually creating a pretty simple banner that needs to stay under 40k size. I'm trying to load and unload an external .swf to my main swf file. So far, I only managed to load my external .swf, without finding a way to make it appear and disappear at specific frames (the external .swf shows up directly at frame 1, then when the animation loops over, it stacks over and over).
I read some things about onEnterFrame and counters but still wasn't able to solve my issue.
Here's my actual code. It makes the "horse.swf" file (located in the same folder as my main swf) fades in into my main swf after it has been loaded.
By the way, I used The LoaderMax system from greensock. because it seemed lighter and easier to manage than the native Adobe Loader one.
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.loading.*;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

I am trying to eliminate the Loader component from a project. Run locally, the Loader is sufficient to load-up the voiceover swf files that exist on many of the frames in the parent file. On the web, the short download delays at runtime due to the Loader are causing timing issues. I'm not sure if there is a way to preload multiple swfs into specific frames of a parent file so that they are available before runtime.
