ActionScript 2.0 :: Load An External Swf, Using A Variable?

Apr 5, 2007

I think i am screwing up the syntax. let's say I have a global variable, like. _global.something = mymovie

And then, the code to load in the external swf.... loadMovie((something)+ ".swf", _root.ec); Well, it doesn't work, and I'm just not sure where to put the quotes, and how many parenthesis are needed. How do I use a global variable and access it for this loadmovie code?

Mar 18, 2009

If I have an external text file with a variable, (let's say it's called names) with a list of names,... how do I load that variable into an array in flash?. Does it have something to do with Split() to separate the different values on the list separated with commas?

let's say the external file is:

How do we load that in flash so we have something like:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External Swf And Set As Typed Variable?

Jan 28, 2010

So I have ClassA and ClassB. Each of these is the document class of two different FLAs. In ClassA I want to load a SWF and set it to a variable of type ClassB. The problem is that ClassB uses a ComboBox, so when I try to type the varialbe, then ClassA complains that it can't fine the definition for ComboBox. If I add the ComboBox component to the library of ClassA it works just fine. But that kind of defeats the puprose of me creating the seperate SWFs in the first place... smaller file sizes. So here is basic code of what I'm trying to do.

Code:
package
{
import ClassB;
public class ClassA extends Sprite

[Code].....

If I don't try to type the variable "swf" to ClassB then it works absolutely fine. But I want to have it typed so that I can then use intellisense/code completion in my IDE and not have to worry about the compiler telling em that functions don't exist on ClassB when I try to use them and such.

how to accomplish this? I have found that I can have ClassB implement an Interface and then set the swf to type IClassB... but I really don't want to have to do that because that means for all swfs I want to load I will have to create another Interface and prototype out all the functions. That just seems extremely tedious as this project will get very big.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Variable To An External SWF File On Load

Dec 22, 2004

I have an external SWF file that is a dynamic chart. It normally requires (in the object and embed tags on the HTML page) a variable passed to it that points to an XML file.

What I want to do, is create a "container" program that simply has a few buttons, that when clicked load up that same chart.swf and point it to a different XML file.

What I can't figure out is how to get that external file to recognize it's dataURL parameter that it normally receives off the html tags. (BTW, I can't edit that chart.swf, it's a purchased product.) I tried setting a root variable of the same name in my container to point to a new XML file, but that doesn't work. I tried setting that variable, and using loadMovie with a GET to pass it the name, but that just looks for a string that flash seems to be interpreting literally, so it can't locate the file at all (I.e. it's looking for the literal name "chart.swf?dataURL=datafile.xml")

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWF Into MC And Get Name By Variable Class

Oct 17, 2009

I need to load an external SWF into a movieclip, and get the name of the SWF from a variable from a class. The variable is called getSWF and is defined as
Code:
public var getSWF = "movie.swf";

When I trace(getSWF); on the first frame of the main time line it outputs fine. However when I use the following code on the movieclip :
Code:
var testtest= getSWF;
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (testtest);
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);

I get the error:
1120: Access of undefined property getSWF.
Though if I change the variable testtest to movie.swf it works fine.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Variable Data From An External XML File And Dynamically Displays The Item Names In A Menu - Arrays - Functions

May 18, 2005

I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.

I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External Swfs Which Load Videos

Apr 11, 2009

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.

I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error

[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]

Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?

My code for loading the videos is this:

vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);
