Can i load an external swf to the library?
I do not want to load the swf to a movieclip that is on the stage.
I would like to load a bunch of swf files to the library and later on bring them to the stage.
How do you load external library objects from an external swf? I want to have an external swf that only contains library objects that are exported for Actionscript, and load these from the master .swf file dynamically during the master swf execution. (I may have multiple external swf resource files)I want to be able to load the external swf, and then access it's library objects via actionscript in my main swf file.
View 6 Repliescan load an external jpg into a movie clip which is in the library?The reason I am asking is because I have a transition between loading images and the transition has several instances of one movie clip being used for different tweens.
The problem is that when the image loads, all instances have to be in frame 1 otherwise the jpg won't load into them and because I am using tweens the instances are on all different frame numbers.
I want to be able to load the jpg into this movie clip but in the library so it updates all of the instances of this movie clip on the stage and further down the timeline.
I have 2 SWF, one of them (let's call it Resources.swf), that contains several symbols (most of them MovieClips) on its library, but, none of them are added into the stage ( the timeline contains only one empty frame),and then, the other swf (Main.swf), where I need to import some of the symbols from the other SWF.I have been looking around, and searching, but all the info that I saw, and tried, imports the symbols from the stage/timeline using things like:[code]If not,do I have modify my Resources.swf to work this out or do I have other alternatives?

View 5 RepliesI have been working on code updation project wherein initially we had an image and text as movieclips in fla library. The image and the text are read by the actionscript program which then creates an animation.[code]...
I want to ease the updation process by giving the url of the image in an XML file. Read the image url from the xml and load this image in the library of the fla as movieclip. This, i think, will result in less code change and improve the updation of the final animation image.
The problem i am facing is not been able to figure out how can i change the image (after fetching its URL) to a movieclip and then load it in the library?

I'm trying to add the Flint Particle system to my Flash CS4. I downloaded the swc file. Currently this file is residing on my desktop for testing purposes. I am on a Mac, if that makes any difference, but I went to file -> Publish settings -> Flash... then under the AS3 settings I added the path to the swc via the swc importer under the external library path. I then added the code that was given Here (under step 5-- add the Action Script)When I go to run the file, though, [code]...
View 4 RepliesI am at the start of creating a large site with many different components: Basic text areas Latest projects with images / video Blog with text, images and video Secure login area to view protected projects
What would you recommend for this type of project. Throw all assets (main text area, blog, latest project etc) and separate them into their own mc's, then call them onto the stage? Or have them all external sepearate swf's?
So I've seen many a tutorial on how to do this in AS3 but I'm trying to work out if there is a way to have all my assets for a game I'm making external, so they can be shared with a level editor that resides in a different .swf and won't be loaded twice.I spent a while looking and found out about Shared Libraries, which at first I thought would solve the problem, until you find out that you can't use attachMovie to attach anything to the stage at run-time if it is an imported object, which just sucks to be frank .So I then thought of a work-around for that by adding these shared objects inside a MovieClip that wasn't shared so I could add that from the stage and access the clip inside using the instance name that I would assign it. This worked fine until I remembered that I had was using several Bitmaps and the BitmapData class, hence if I placed these bitmaps in a MovieClip I can't even assign an instance name to access them to perform the code that I wish to on them.

View 1 RepliesI want to:
1) Place symbols on the stage manually in loaded.fla
2) Exclude these symbols from the swf because they will already be in loading.swf
So I:
1) Created a component.fla
2) Created a "comp" symbol in the fla
3) Turned that symbol into a component via Component Definition
4) Exported the comp.swz into Configuration/Components/MyComps
5) Opened up loaded.fla
6) Pulled the comp component onto the stage
7) Went to file AS settings and added Configuration/Components/MyComps to the External Library Paths
8) Compiled loaded.swf and played it
BUT the swf includes the comp component on the stage...which is NOT what I wanted. I only want the swf to work and have a reference to comp when it it loaded into loading.swf.Why haven't the classes in comp been excluded?Obviously this is a workaround for runtime shared libraries, which is unpredictable, time-wasting and generally painful. Is there a better way to retain WYSIWYG and share symbols? I don't want to do dynamic placing.
I'm making this thread because I have searched in google for how to make a "global library". I'm sure this is not what it's called but i couldnt think of another way to search. If I start a new project and I want to bring in objects from other projects should I be going to "open external library"? I imagine that an external library is global. While i'm waiting for replies i'll look up how to make an external library.
