I am trying to load an external clip, and when it's loaded, all other user connected can also see the clip
whit this code, the clip is loaded but not on the screen of other user connected.
Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(result){
if (result.code = "NetConnection.Connect.Success"){
}

I'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.
This is what I've tried so far:
var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);
Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.
I know how to load external text files in AS3 but I want the user to be able to do it from within my excited swf file. The obvious way to do this is to load the text file using a string from a dynamic text field (e.g: "myfile/myTextFeild.txt") but i want it to be more user friendly.If you click file open in Microsoft word, for example, you get the user friendly open box where you can find the file you want to load by browsing through your hard-drive.
View 1 Replieshow to allow the user to upload some image of his/her choice from his/her local computer, plus adding some control on size and dimension limit.
I've seen this performed for instance in webs where they sell sunglasses. The movie allows you to upload your own picture of yourself so that you can virtually try them on.
I'd like to know how to allow the user to upload some image of his/her choice from his/her local computer, plus adding some control on size and dimension limits, and to check that the file to be uploaded is actually a JPG/PNG/GIF and not another else.

I am trying to load an external swf into a movie clip.Within my index.swf file I have a button that when released loads another swf into a movie clip within the index.swf. I have done this before and have no idea why it is not working. When I publish the movie I get no error reports.Here is the script:
on (release) {
_parent._parent._parent.contents.loadMovie("apache .swf");
}
All swf files are within the same folder on the server as well.

Is there any possibility to load external movie clip (from swf) into mc? I know as2 has loadMovie command, but as3 doesn't support it (am I right?).
If it is possible how can I access loaded object? Like any other instance?
I have an xml photo gallery which i'd like to embed in one of the tabs of my sites. I've tried to do this by loading the external .swf file into a movie clip which i called empty_mc, using the following code
ActionScript Code:
var empty_mc:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(empty_mc);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main.swf");
empty_mc.load(url);
When I load the .swf on its own, the photo gallery works fine, yet when I try to load the swf via the movieclip, it gives the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at main()
(All of the relevant files are in the same folder)
I'm trying to get a smart clip to load a external jpg, I made the smartClip already and is loading two variables from a .txt external file but I can't get the jpg to load .
I created the SmartClip so if I want to duplicate or reused the MC with different text all I need to do is change the value or .txt name and it will load it info from another external file, I want to do something similar for the jpg so if I change the value it will load a different jpg and I want to be able to tell Flash what position and size I want the jpg's to have This is the position and size I want Flash to use for the jpg's, as it now I have a place keeper on it's position.
W: 143.0-----------------------X: 46.0
H: 136.0------------------------Y: -56.5
how to get those JPG's to resize and load in a fixed position? or as a second alternative I uploaded the file in my server ( ftp://65.49.66.147 ) The MC zipped with the jpg. The file is called SmartClip.zip
The main site (index.swf) had an image slideshow style gallery displayed prominently across the entire site - i.e it never changed while the rest of the site did. That is gone, but in its place is an external .swf (video.swf) which is a video player to stream flv video via php. convoluted, no?
Now, I got the php streaming player from FlashGuru [URL] and it works beautifully. I added in a button for full screen toggle, and that was a cinch - two lines of AS and editing the html and I was done. I tested it as a standalone swf file, and it streams wonderfully, goes full screen with ease...perfect more or less. See it at [URL]
Then I load the video.swf movie into the index.swf movie, and when I click the full screen button, the main root (index.swf) goes full screen. The problem is that I want only the video (video.swf) to go full screen - without reloading or restarting the streaming video.
I currently have the files up at [URL] to see the swf files in action; would post the .fla files here but since the template was purchased I can't post it, and the video player is basically stock other than the full screen switch. What the heck, I'll post it here just in case...
{also, a side note; I do plan on having multiple videos to load - I currently plan to use different .swf files for each one, but if I could just pass a variable from the main (index.swf) to the other (video.swf), it would save a bit of HD space on my server.

The file I'm trying to load is called PhotoViewer.swf...

Its like a gallery and it uses an XML file... I want to be able to switch back and forth between 2 "Photoviewers" loaded by the buttons, only displaying one at a time.

View 1 RepliesI've loaded an external .swf into a movieclip in my parent .swf using the loadMovie(); function. The file loads perfectly and in the right position, however I can no longer access the functions of the external .swf. When I load the file into a level rather than a movieclip, the functions (buttons and timeline) of the external .swf work properly. Is there any way to use the functions of the external .swf when I load it into an empty movie clip?

Making a photo slide show to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed . Here is a link to the .swf file:[URL]..Basic problem: There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear!
I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other.
When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.

1)I was able to load an external .swf file into a blank movie clip (A TARGET CLIP WHICH I CREATED using createEmptyMovieClip) 2)Also by placing a button on the stage I was able to remove the movie clip
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL MY CODE IN THE FIRST FRAME. I would like to Remove the Movie without putting the code on the button. But it didn't work.
Here is the code on the button that Does work

I have a problem with buttons and transitions.I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following code:
on (release) {
if (_root.externaltwo._currentframe == 7) {
_root.externaltwo.gotoAndPlay(8);[code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "externalone";[code].....
Obviously a similar code would be placed on button two so the transitions could take place.I am uploading my file so you can see exactly what I am talking about. Also in this file will be a folder containg a version that works but without the buttons moving up and down which is the effect I wish to have
I have a button when I click on it it is suppose to load an external swf into a empty movie clip. But everytime I clicked it, it juz loops the whole flash animation of this very whole flash the button is currently in which it should actually load the external swf to the empty MC. I can't attack my file here since it is too big.

I have a SWFLoader in mxml of my flex app.[code]...
I get the alert popup (that is the loadComplete is called) but do not get any swf loaded, not able to view anything. What can be the problem, am I missing something or some security issue? I also tried the image control to load the swf. Moreover, the swf are pdf files converted to swf so can this be an issue of different frame rates between flash and flex ?
