I want my externally loaded flv-movie to unload itself when it is done playing. I read something about cue-Points but didn't find anything useful.
View 3 RepliesI came across a lesson on [URL]titled "Vertical 3D Carousel with AS3 and XML".
I completed the tutorial and all worked fine so I then wanted to load the swf into a existing project. The loading of the swf goes fine and when I unload my loader it is removed but only visually as in my output panel in flash CS5 I get an error as follows
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at carousel_c_fla::MainTimeline/moveCarousel()
this error repeats over and over again slowing my swf movie.
So does this mean my main flash movie trying to still play / find my unloaded 3D Carousel?
If so how do I unload remove all the AS3 that is trying to run from the 3D Carousel?
I have included the AS3 below from the tutorial page and I understand that this is what I have to remove to "break free" from the 3D Carousel swf when it is unloaded. This is where I am stuck as my knowledge of AS3 is limited
//Import TweenMax
import com.greensock.*;
//The path to the XML file (use your own here)

I'm not new to flash as2 but as3 is a whole other animal to me. What I have is on button click my script will load a swf movie into a movie clip (videoLoader_mc). What I'm trying to do but can't seem to get is when the parent swf gets to a certain point in the time line I need it to unload what ever movie is in that videoLoader_mc. I've gone through ever tutorial I can find to no avail. [code]...

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to load external swf files and, using as3, have them play consecutively so the final product is a seamless animation. Below is the scripting I'm currently using to call and play the first scene, how do I make it go to the next one? All the material I've found on this is related to buttons and I'm not experienced enough with AS3 to adapt that to what I'm trying to do here.Here is the script I'm currently using...
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 0;
var swf:MovieClip;[code].......
I have 2 movies, one which holds a navigation menu and some music playing options, and the other which is my main movie. The main movie has an empty clip which loads the navigation and sound into it. However the music does not play in the main movie.
View 6 RepliesI have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;

I have used the following script to load a movie
but.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("scene_1.swf", "container");
container._x = 150 ;
container._y = 20 ;
}
This works great, but now when the movie scene_1.swf is finished playing I would like the movie to unload automatically and return to the mainstage and continue the scene on the mainstage.

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie.

I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {
loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1);

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to automatically unload movies when a new movie is loaded? eg: 5 buttons, 5 bit of art. At the moment they overlap instead of unloading before the new one loads.

View 4 RepliesI'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.
I'm trying to apply CSS to text that is loaded from an external text file. Now, it works fine when I play it in the movie file "current.swf". Here is the code as it is-
Code:
var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = "jbcss.css";
format.load(path);
format.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

This is a PAIN. I always get grief if i try to use 'pause timline' code of any sort.[code]...
The 'CLOSE' button under it, unloads the level the vid sits in plus the butterflies swf just incase this devil code is still lurking. So go ahead and close it. And wait a few seconds and the WHOLE site loops.

s how to adjust the size (width*height) of a externally loaded movie?
View 12 RepliesI have been approached to design a configurator for a new television product. The Application will let users specify the colours of certain parts of the product and also attach addons, which then updates a cost total.
In the main interface i have a looping animation of the product slowly rotating around 360 degrees that i rendered in 3ds max. When a user clicks a button on the interface i need to load an external movieclip on top of the main animation so it looks as though a certain part has changed colour, this i have acheived. The problem is that when i load the external clip over the original, the loaded clip starts playing from frame 1 and i need it to inherit the playhead position of the main animation so the two layered pieces look as though they are rotating as one. I'm sure this must be possible, unless i need to approach the problem in a different way?
I need an externally loaded mc (a listener) to execute a tween when another movie clip (a broadcaster) is pressed. So, when you press on mc1, mc2 executes a function. Sounds so simple. And I feel I almost cracked it. Now, I know the theory behind broadcasters and listeners, but my code simply doesn't work. I must be dumb since I couldn't figure it out from the senocular's tut on broadcasters and listeners.
To try to illustrate the problem more: listeners are a couple of arrows, left and right. They are movie clip buttons that work on the rewind principle. There's an externally loaded mc at the stage that executes its intro tween (nothing special), and when it stops I want it to start listening to the arrows. So, when on(release) on the arrow occurs, externally loaded mc executes it's outro tween, and at the end calls for the next externally loaded mc on the stage.
Now, to add another question; I have 6 externally loaded clips, called by the arrows. When the first and the last one are on the stage, I'd like to disable the previous, and the next buttons, respectively. I thought I'll just do arrow.enable = false in the first and the last clip.
I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I'm building a quite large flash movie with hundreds of movieclips (with their own preloaders) with approx 150 frames in the _root timeline. But I've until now never been very confident with preloaders, and that is causing me hairloss.
Once the user enter the site, I want a preloader to come up, but I want to use actionscript to start playing frame 2 once frame 2 content is loaded, not start playing frame 2 once the WHOLE movie is loaded.
I use the below code for simple preloading with no feedback of progress, however it loads the whole movie before it start playback of frame 2:
if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Is there a way to make a if statement that only loads like 20% then it plays. I always used things that wait for the whole movie to be loaded. I just want to give a head start of 20% to the movie.

I have a problem with sounds in this movie. I have a sounds file that I would like to play as soon as the movie is loaded, but I dont want it to stream because I want to loop it and I want it to be done with AS. I saw a Tutorial where the sound would load as soon as the movie started but it wouldn't play until the play button was pressed. I want the song to play as soon as the sound is loaded. The Tutorial is Creating a Volume Control Silder. [URL]
View 5 RepliesI want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 Repliesit possible to set the frame rate of an externally loaded movie to a different frame rate than the movie it is embedded within. I basically have a flash site that loads flash movies using loadMovie command, however, the frame is lost within these movies and simply adopts the main site frame rate.
