ActionScript 2.0 :: Load A Jpg And Textfiles Externally?
Jun 7, 2005
I have this code to load a jpg and textfiles externally:
[AS]stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("NFMC", 1);
NFMC._x = 320;
NFMC._y = 220;
[Code].....
Of course I have been thinking about passing data to functions, but I can't make it work.
It is not necessary that NF1.jpg and the txts are mentioned in this code like they are now, it also could be something like a,b,c and d. So actually it is not about changing, but about being able to load different jpg's and MC's in this swf, so that I wouldnt have to use one hundred swf's!

I need to save and load data to and from variables. I know how to read from text-files, but not how to write to them. The text-files should work as a "database" for the high-score in a game, I cant use php cause the computer running the game wont be online all the time.

I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

For some reason my slideshow gallery will not work with specific swf files. I can't find any correlation between the ones that work and the ones that don't work - stage size, length, as3 version, actions, ect don't seem to matter.
I'm tempted to chalk to up to a bug in CS4 and try to install CS3, but I was wondering if anyone has ran into this before.

I'm trying to externally load a swf at a certain time on the timeline. Right now I am loading it by using an on(release) with buttons, but I need the first to load as the timeline reaches the certain number. I'm using this code for the buttons.
on (release) {
_root.empty.loadMovie("externalloader1.swf");
}
I'm not sure if I should use a Load action or what?

Trying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object
[code]....
So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.

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]...

So is there officially no way to load mp3s externally without the pause between loops? I need to know if I can rest at night or not. If it is absolutely without a doubt impossible, I will look at alternatives.
By the way, this would be for background game music. I need a seamless loop and we are using mp3s.

I am trying to modify the hover caption tutorial from here at Kirupa to load the text in the caption from an external text file. Could anyone give me a hand trying to figure this out?I tried the simple way of loading external text but because the text is loaded in a MovieClip this does not work. Here is my code for the hover menu that currently loads the text dynamically through ActionScript:
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function() {
var w = box.caption.textWidth+0
var h = box.caption.textHeight+0;

i'm having some "big" issues with what seems like a pretty easy flash concept. But, im pretty green when it comes to coding in flash.
I have a SWF thats being externally loaded into another SWF file (see code below):
on(release) {
loadMovie("test1.swf",_root.dropZone);
}
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.

I'm loading swf's via an XML file. I'm wanting them to be added onto the stage in the same order that they appear in the XML. The problem that I'm having is that they are added to the stage only when they are fully loaded.
This is my xml (_config.xml)
<campaign>
<component SWFsource="logo.swf"/>
<component SWFsource="gallery.swf"/>

I just heard something about "Flash Methods". Using Javascript to control the SWF from outside of it. Ever hear of it? What I am trying to do is have the center content of my HTML page reload different textual content when you click on a button in the Nav, but not reload the whole page. The Nav is separate from the SWF content in the center of the page. Is there a way to have it so that when you click on one of the buttons in the Nav that it can tell the swf what fram to go to?

With the assistance of a very kind member of this forum, I have got as far as getting an .FLV to load into my API via its own .SWF.
[URL]
click on "Animalia - Verse from the Zoo" to load the VideoPlayer .swf which contains the .FLV
I will add more functionality when I've solved this. Now that I have a Video Player which closes, the next set of hurdles to overcome are these:
Click "Close" with the .FLV playing and the sound keeps playing because the .FLV is still playing. Click "Close" with the .FLV paused and when you call the player back, it plays from the same spot. So, my tiny brain says it's an "add/removeChild" issue. Obviously when happy user clicks "Close" and then re-loads by clicking "Animalia", happy user wants the video to play from scratch. That's what I want, anyway. Not from where it left off after clicking "Close". I've made several attempts at adding a "remove FLV" object to the function and Event Dispatch method, but what I did is wrong because the code I put in removed the .FLV permanently and when you call the player back by clicking on "Animalia", the .FLV does not play at all. I'm going round in circles looking for the correct NetStream/removeChild/unload.nsplay/etc/etc .. AS3 coding and where to put it.
My .FLV video load object on "NewPlayer.swf" is:
var myVideo:Video = new Video(360, 264);
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
[Code].....
My questions is:- What is the correct coding to get the VideoPlayer .swf to unload its .FLV completely, SO THAT when a user clicks "Close". Either with or without the .FLV playing, everything closes completely and when re-loaded, the video plays from scratch?

I am externally loading an flv into an empty movie clip container using loadMovie into a main swf. The flv is in a standard flv playback component and works fine on its own. But what I'd like to be able to do is pause the flv when any of the buttons in the main swf are pressed.

I'm working on an flash movie and the interface is a small town (simiar to "doritos.com" and "comcasttown.com") if you reference both the doritos and comcast sites their little movie runs smoothly. I have several elements in the town. For example, one of the elements is an airplane hangar. When you rollover the hanger, I created a movie, the doors open and an airplane flies out of the hangar. I have several little movies throughout the interactive such as this. I created the hangar animation as a seperate swf file. In my main movie I created a button, on rollover it loads the hangar swf into an empty movieclip. When I publish and view the swf it plays slow and choppy. First, is it possible to write actionscript to load the external swf ,but it stops on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover it continues to play.To put it all in a nutshell, I want to create several buttons throughout the movie with loadmovie functions, once the swf movies are loaded I want them to stop on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover loaded swf movie I want it to continue to play the animation. Should actionscript be applied to the swf movies first and preloaded into the main movie. And what will make the movies run smoothly once it's published and viewed in a browser.Also if this makes a difference, I created the animations in after effects, exported them as FLVs imported them into flash and exported them as swf. Again it runs really slow and choppy

I was wondering if there was a way in Flash to preview externally loaded images in Flash while still working.I am loading images externally to keep the file size down on a piece of elearning but now I'm afraid maintenance will be a nightmare since you don't actually see the screens until you publish. I have interactions on the screens so I need to see them for their placement on screen.

how to make it so that it is always centered horizontally in the middle of the browser window. I am having issues making it so that it is centered vertically between 150pixels from the top to the bottom. This will make it so that if the window is small the swf will be right at y=150 but if the window is large it will have equal spacing between the top(150) and the bottom of the window.
