i have to load a sequence of external swf files inside a MC.I have no problems with that, but i want to, load the first, and after is fully loaded, make a timer that waits 30 seconds, and then loads the second external swf file.i dont have the original fla files of the external swf files.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?
View 9 RepliesI want to to load a series of swf files into a scene sequentially. I stumbled onto some Actionscript 3.0 code in this forum that accomplishes this.
var a:Array = new Array("1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf");var l:Loader; function didLoad(e:Event){addChild(l);doLoad();} function doLoad(){if (a.length) {l = new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, didLoad);l.load(new URLRequest(a.splice(0,1)));}} doLoad();
Unfortunately, I also want to be able to load the swf files into movie clips in the scene. This code doesn't do that. It loads the swf files on top of each other sequentially. I want to be able to position the swf files side by side. how to tweak the code to load the swf files into movie clips in the scene.
I can't seem to make it work. No matter how much I play with it:

I've since lost contact with the person assisting me. I've read up on arrays, and I don't think that this is my problem or why I can't get my head around it. Maybe its the loop?

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.
What would be the simplest way of linking a set of 6 swf files to play in sequence, automatically, and without maxing out the master files timeline?
View 5 RepliesStructure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 RepliesIn my main .swf I have labels on the timeline, navs for those btns are on the first frame of the AS layer and each button sends the playhead to a different frame. On one frame called fr1 there is an mc called mc_1 that appears on stage when the playhead stops there. Inside mc_1 are a set of navigation buttons that need to call external .swfs.
Do I add event listeners on the last frame of mc_1 for each button? how do I call the loaders for the swfs on the buttons since the swfs will load on the main timeline NOT the mc_1 timeline?
So label on main timeline called fr1 will load external1 swf , on fr10 external 2.swf will load and so on.
I'm new at AS3. I'm pretty good when it comes to PHP, MySQL or HTML but I'm totally lost in AS.I have a project in Flash Builder 4 that I'm trying to add something to that was built in Flash Professional. It's supposed to loas a couple of external AS files, then execute functions from them at a certain point in the application. I know where I want the functions to execute in the application, and I have linked the AS files to "test.as" which is the main AS file for "testapp.mxml". The problem is calling the "Detector" function from inside "FaceDetector.as" which is one of the external AS files. What is the best way to do the following.[code]I want to start the script and let it do what it's supposed to do inside the application at that given time.

View 4 RepliesI have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing. These flash movies load an external xml file.This is failing.The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.[url]...

is there any way that you can make a .as file be read in & so that it updates the .swf file, much like the way loading an xml or .txt file does?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code.

I'm new to Flex and I'm trying to write a program with lots of content in it. There's a sidebar, a main content pane with tabs, etc.I want to be able to create MXML files (like sidebar.MXML, tab1.mxml, etc.) that I can then load into the sidebar or load into a certain tab. That would make my code a lot more manageable instead of writing all that code inside of the main MXML file.Can I do this? I have already modularized some of my code by putting them in custom components, but I would really like to be able to load content from other MXML files, much like I can do in PHP:
View 3 RepliesI have a site that loads external swf files using the loader in AS3:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);

this works wonderfully, but what I need to do is have a button in the this SWF, when clicked, unload itself, and load a different external SWF.

View 8 RepliesThe following is from an application that uses the Welsh alphabet, loading in audio of each letter-sound and pushing them into an array (supposedly in alphabetical order) for later use. However, this fails to work correctly as they end up in the wrong order as the order in which they are pushed into the array is dictated by the order in which their load completes, not the order in which they were loaded.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI need it to be in Action script 3 though. I did find a tutorial on this website that is labeled loading random movies but its written for a very old version of flash from 2004.
I am trying to load multiple swfs into a main swf one after another. So after one plays the next one plays etc. I need it to be random as well. As in I am going to be taking some swfs out then putting new ones in the rotation. This is a slideshow so to speak of different swfs displaying current promotions and when the promos are over I need to remove them from the rotation. I right now have one big long swf that contains all the different rotated promos I hope this was easy to understand.
i was wondering if their was a way to load external files in advance and to integrate these in the loading progress of the flash file (in the beginning ... you know, with a load bar)i used and changed the photogallery of kirupa, and in the code i integrated a piece that positions every image depending of its size.i put it in the tag where "if" says that the file has loaded completely and the fade in may start.... wel, it works, but some times it doesn't position well. just like the image ain't loaded well. when you go to the next image and then go back it works.if you want to see it, here's the url

I have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?

I can't figure out how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)
var myItems:Array = new Array("swf01.swf", "swf02.swf", "swf03.swf", "swf04.swf", "swf05.swf", "swf06.swf", "swf07.swf", "swf08.swf", "swf09.swf");
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("myItems[0]", this.getNextHighestDepth());
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?
I am trying to load external swf files in a main movie.I have created 3 different movies. Main movie is named "Container".

On the lowest layer in main movie I have created an empty movie clip in which I am trying to load "movie1.swf".Now problem is when I load "movie1.swf" instead of loading the external movie in target mc, it clears all the contents in main movie.

I am using loadmovienum to try and load picture files(.jpg) into my main movie. When loading it onto a certian "level" it works fine However, when using load movie in the past I have loaded separate .swf files into movie clip symbols on the main time line which greatly helps when trying to position the movies I am loading in.
I am trying to load in my pictures files in the same way (into movie clip symbol on the timeline) however it doesn't seem to be working. Is is possible to load in external picture files in this way?
