ActionScript 2.0 :: Is A Swf Loaded In The "content" Container That's NOT The The Swf Want To Load
Dec 18, 2003
1. If there is a swf loaded in the "content" container that's NOT the the swf I want to load
2. If there is one, then to play it's "end"ing label (which is an animation followed by an unloadMovie command)
3. and then finally load the swf that I DO want..
Here's the script that I came up with... But I have a feeling that it's not right (mainly because it doesn't work) But I do think that I'm going in the right direction.. This would be the script for the "message" button:
How to remove a loader and its content using removeChild or any other way, I had removed the loader but its content still playing in the background i know that from the sound of the content.this is the my code for removing:
I have a stage with Top, Middle & Bottom Movieclip's set on it. On resize the content is scaled to fit and maintain the correct proportions.I am loading each content (page) in as external SWF files into the Middle container using a Loader and URLRequest.Here is my onCompleteHandler function:
Actionscript Code: function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event){ // Remove Preloader middle.removeChild(preload); content =
I`Ve hijacked this .fla and tried to modify it by loading external content into the container. For some reason the loaded content is getting messes up when loaded..
I have made a custom class which extends Sprite. This class is a vertical long rectangle with different contents inside. I used a mask in order to show only a part of this vertical "rectangle" (let's call it this way for clarity). Just at its side there's a scroll bar which has to deal with the scroll (up and down) of all this rectangle along its mask.
The problem is that I don't know how to set up the scrollbar in order to get it all working. I've made a function to set it up:
[Code]...
The scroll bar appears where I wanted, it's fully operative, but still it doesn't scroll up/down the container. From this point on, I don't know what to do in order to displace the container upwards/downwards at the same time the slider is displaced. Is there any Actionscript method to do that? If not, what is the formula?
I'm extending a Panel to build a custom component. Without knowing what this will contain later, how can I add a method to temporarily hide all contents and displaying an internal object (which is normally invisible) instead?
I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.
I am making a full flash site in which one container clip on the main timeline loads all the pages. I want to place a tween on this container so that once the content loads it animates as it enters. Code below.
How do I get the size of the content area of Container objects? One non generic solution is checking for styles I suppose but I am looking for some code that works generic for all standard flex Container objects. The controls are Flex 3
was just trying to make my site more efficient when its online. I have an image/video gallery. When the thumbnail is clicked, an image or video will be displayed in the container I have. Currently, the code is like
[Code]...
And if so, will it be in the cache or anything when it is loaded again within the click event?
I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?
Do you know any collapsible flex container that can handle dynamic content that works when pre-collapsed? I tried the CollapsiblePanel component by Arc90 for Flex, but it did not work when pre-collapsed.If I have a VBox inside the panel, and I set the "collapsed" property of the CollapsiblePanel to true, the size of the CollapsiblePanel cannot be restored. It seems like this is what is happening:
The CollapsiblePanel's collapsed property is pre-set to true in the MXML markup.
The VBox auto-adjusts its height to 0 since the CollapsiblePanel is collapsed.
When the CollapsiblePanel's collapsed property changes to false (i.e., it is expanded by the user), the VBox does not expand itself because its parent's content area is 0. Therefore the CollapsiblePanel remains at the same height because its content's height is 0.
Note: This occurs only when the CollapsiblePanel is pre-collapsed, as seen in the markup below.I've already tried this (didn't work):
scrolling TN that I purchased for $10. I want to create many different galleries (many swfs) using this XML gallery and then load them into a container inside a "master gallery swf" if that makes sense.The problem I am having is that the swfs are getting re-sized smaller when loaded in the container (maybe 70% of the original size) even though the container and swfs have the same dimensions.I've actually had this problem before where a swf displays smaller, even if it's just inserted into an HTML page. I'm wondering if there is a simple solution
I need to communicate from loaded swf to the container swf in AS 3.0. This is the code for document class of loaded swf followed by code for source swf document class. How I can call the method xyz() from the external swf?
ActionScript Code: package com.scottgmorgan { import flash.display.Sprite; public class ExternalMovie extends Sprite { public function ExternalMovie():void { Code] .....
I used guestbook form here:[URL] and when I load it into a container in the flash website the guestbook doesn't read the data from txt file. It works ok when it's alone.
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.
I need a fairly foolproof way to check from a child swf whether it is loaded into a container swf through a loader object or if it is just loaded through html. I would like to do this without requiring a flashvar or any kind of function call from the parent swf that may be there. Any quick and simple solutions? I looked for something with loaderinfo but came up empty.
I have a container on the stage in which a swf is to be loaded when you click a button. This works fine when the content of the .swf being loaded into the container does not have content floating outside of its stage, this is a problem for me because the .swf being loaded in has content that exceeds the width of its stage, but is masked. The masked content on that page will be made visible when the user mouses over the masks. So its essential that the .swf being loaded in exceed the dimensions of its stage.
Initially, when I click a button that is a child to the menu_mc, the swf loads into the container correctly, but when I MOUSE_OUT of the menu_mc the content within the swf scales to reflect any content that exceeds the width of its stage. I'm not sure if this is the result of the way I am the loaded swf. The swf is designed to scale up and down when the user MOUSE_OUT or MOUSE_OVER of the menu. The menu is designed to be hidden when not in use.Here's my code:
Additionally, I ran into a problem when I moused over the buttons that are children to the menu_mc. Whenever I rolled over them the content in the menu would hide itself off stage. So I came up with a solution that may not have been the appropriate course of action, but worked. In the MOUSE_OVER function of the buttons, I provided y coordinates for the other movie clips to prevent them from moving off stage. For the sake of better coding practices, would there have been a much more appropriate coarse of action.
I'm trying to somehow target a MC being loaded into an empty container MC. I've tried everything I could think of.
Basically, I'm making a movie editor. Right now clips are added to the stage on initial load, then when they are clicked on they are added to the "reel" and they can be previewed in the order that they are added. Now, I'm trying to get it so that when they are on the "reel" they can be click and dragged and rearranged.
Here's how the clips are added to the stage in a function called loadClips():
Here's how they are being added to the "reel" in addClips():
ActionScript Code: if (currentTarget.name == "1") { clipCopy = new Clip1();
[Code]....
Now, I just want the clips that are on the reel to be click and drag-able (along the X axis but I'll worry about that later). I realize now they're all being added as clipCopy. That's going to be an issue huh? Is there a way that I can target the container and make that mobile?
i'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame. as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.
Running into an issue where the if I add a Bitmap image into a movieclip the bitmap will appear slightly Blurry.When I add the Bitmap directly to the scene it appears normal. Is their a property for a movieclip that would explain this behavior? or is their some other solution to keep bitmaps from becoming blurred?
I am creating a site where there is a portfolio section with icons for each piece of artwork.Regardless of which icon 1-10 is clicked, for the first time ONLY, I want to load a swf which "draws in" a portfolio "background", and another swf on a higher level which corresponds to the icon clicked (lets say a sample artwork).
However, if the user has previously clicked another portfolio icon and is currently viewing one of the portfolio pages, there is no need to load the "background" swf again (it would be tedious watching the drawing in animation over again).
I've designated a target container movieclip for each.The icons swf file with the buttons is another swf on the timeline.Is there some code which can check to see if the background swf is already loaded into its container? And in which swf would I attach the code?
I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward. Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie. For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.
These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works. I believe it's because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the '_root' in the child movie is no longer the actual root?
I have tried both methods in the child movie:
//method without using 'with' _root.ContentWindow.play(); And using the 'with action like so: //method using 'with with (_root.ContentWindow) { play(); }
It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it - cuz now the MC 'ContentWindow' is no longer one level down from the '_root' but two levels? For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()
I am trying to load a swf(as3) into another As3 Swf with the Movieclip loader. After loading however Loader.width/loader.content.width returns an exaggerated value than the actual width of the swf being loaded. Any pointers on where to begin looking for the discrepancy?
More Details (if it helps)
The swf being loaded has UI components like dropdowns, input boxes and combo boxes (its a Form to fill up), and a coded one-time tween. When the child MC loads into the parent movieclip, the Loader.width value returned is exaggerated by about 28 pixels (although the height remains the same). Loader.content.width also returns a 28 pixel exaggerated value. The Exaggerated value is more than even the stage width of the child MC. The extra ~30 px are upsetting subsequent code in the parent movie to scale and center the loaded swf.
update:
stage.stageWidth returns the correct Value.Code used in the parent MC, to load external SWF:
private var deadURL = "child.swf"; private var deadReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(deadURL); private var deadLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].....
I have one swf called main.swf which has a container movieclip that gets external swf's loaded into it.
my external swf is called hosting and it calls an array of data that is loaded into a movieclip that is duplicate for each element from the database. The elements from the database are as follows:
Business Economy Power Standard
Each one of these has a button over it that when press loads information from the database into a movieclip that contains a textbox. My button code is: _root.movieclip.loadVariables("url to database");
This works flawlessly when I run the hosting.swf by itself, but when it is loaded into the contianer in the main.swf the buttons dont work. I believe that it is the _root in the button call that is causing this but I dont know how to fix it. I think the _root variable changes when hosting is loaded into the main.swf.
