on my website, I wanna load different bg animations after my page has been loaded. I don't wanna pre-load because I don't want waiting time. Will loading in this way interfere with anything else on my page such as the buttons actions slowing down?
View 3 Repliesmy swf will only load once in internet explorer.. When you navigate out of that page and come back to it it won't play automatically anymore...
I'm using FLASH CS4 and use the google swf code 2.2...
here's the page [URL]
it used to be so easy just inserting it in Dreamweaver =/ but that wouldn't work either

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use addFrameScript() on a SWF animation I have loaded but am running into a few problems. Here's what works right now:[code]Like this, the animation plays fin and just loops over and over again. The trouble seems to be that the animation runs regardless of using stop(), play() or any animation function. A trace(anim.totalFrames) also shows that my animation is 2 frames rather than 23 (which it is). When I un-comment anim. add FrameScript(anim.totalFrames - 1, animEnd); the frame script appears to be called every frame and the animation ceases to play and is instead replaced by the flash "loading dots" where it should appear.Am I loading in my animation properly and why does a framescript cause my animation to disappear?
View 2 RepliesI have code that loads an external .swf files into my main.swf. Each of the external .swf files has a close out button. When that button is clicked, it calls a function that supplies close out animations for the movie clips for any .swf that is loaded. All code is in main.swf. There is no code in the external.swf(s)
Each external .swf has it's own set of movie clips. The "closeCurrentSWF" function has animations for movie clips that are within .swf files that may not even be loaded, yet I get NO errors when this function is called...which is great!! I'm so stoked this works, why flash isn't throwing me an error...
Code:
//Load External SWF//
var _swfContainer:Loader = new Loader()
_swfContainer.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishedLoading);
stage.addChild(_swfContainer);
var _externalMovie:MovieClip;
function loadSWF(nameOfSWF:String){

Im having a tought time here with my text thats loaded from a xml file. It displays fine if its just in a movie clip thats just in one frame, but once i try to animate with the text ( like a side scrolling news header ) the text doesnt display. How am i supposed to work with the text?
View 8 RepliesThis is my site [URL] (click on "portfolio", "about us") so far only this... My goal is to make all animations to load at once, because right now it only loads (loadMovie) on whatever you click, therefore there is a delay between the link you click and what will open. How you could preload all animations before you enter the site. Example of what I mean is here: [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a flash site that has four pages which all stretch to fit window size.As soon as I go to a gallery page that is called in via SWF, and come back, I loose my dynamic stretching of all my pages...I would like the SWF page to stretch to fit also, and its isn't.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?

View 2 RepliesIn my project I used main document file, which could load multiple nested animations as a separate files. In the main document I had a global function, for example:
_global.onAnimationEnd(mc:MovieClip){...}
and in animations (could be nested) I just called it like:
onAnimationEnd(this);
I'm working in Flash 5...I've made a random loading database of animations that's the first thing to load in my movie. My problem is that after the random images fade in, display, and then fade out I need the next movie clip to load. Right now I can't figure out how to get the second movie clip to load Following the random loading movie clips...all the other animations want to play at the same time the random movie clip plays.I used a modified version of the Kirupa random loading background...it's on the timeline as "Location" with the action scripting for the random load on that layer. Can anyone tell me how how get the second animation to play After the random loading clips play?[code]
View 14 RepliesI want to do is a simple transition that allows to me start some function (at the external swf!) to dismount the LOADED content. I'd like to change the external contents with intros and "outros" located on their own timelines.. It's a simple logic, but I dont know how to manage that.. Everytime I try some simple, it never happens.

View 2 RepliesMy basic aim is to create a newspaper that consists of four pages. Each page i have created and are sitting in the library as sprites. Each page has buttons that need linking so that when pressed it loads the next page or page that i want. This is the part i am confused with =/ how do i make the buttons on each page load the next page (sprite) from the library??
View 2 RepliesI have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load an external swf with a number of quotes into an empty movie clip on the home page. then I want it to obviously disappear when nav to any other page.
1) know that you need a loaderEmpty_mc to load the swf into
2) don't know code for how to get it to load on entering the home page
3) don't know how to cdde for leaving the home page and making it disappear
Im working on a website for school, and im doing it through flash. The server ive been given is being taken up by thousands of pages, so its slow. Instead of loading each page through HTML, ive decided i could do a seperate frame for each page. However, to reach the menu at the bottom, you have to scroll down. Is there any way to make it so that when you click a button to load a different page for the flash player to scroll up all the way to the top of the page itself?
View 1 Repliesanywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..
i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay(30);}
function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
i have some preloader frustrations..dont point me to a previous preloader thread...i have been there already and no im not talking about any preloader that loads the WHOLE movie at the beginning, i know how those work... I need a tutorial/explanation that will teach me how to load a move 'button by button' or 'page by page'.
By this I mean, the first thing the movie will do is load the first 'page' and say you have a few more buttons on that 'page'. It loads all the buttons and that 'page' first..nothing else...then i click one of the buttons (no matter what order) and the 'page' switches to a preloader and then when the second 'page' is loaded, it is displayed.So many sites have this kind of preloader...but i cant believe how many tutorial sites only teach how to program the type of preloader that just loads the WHOLE movie.
Ok why wont this work? (flash CS5 and action script 2)Trying to do aNavigation bar button , to preloader to abour me page with a photo component.Not on the pre loader page the bar works, only it wont disappear.
siteLoader.loadMovie("AboutMe5.swf",4);
Frame_movie._alpha = 100;
loadingBar._alpha = 100;

What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

I am making a page where the owner of the website can upload an image and it will show the images uploaded on the page. I've got an upload system, it uploads the image to a folder. PHP sends the locations of the images to AS3.
The string AS3 is getting from PHP is:
Code: .....
I also have a variable counting the amount of images in the folder and flash is receiving that one too. How do I show the images on the page? I know how to show them on the page but I have to make variables myself etc and I want it to do it automatically. I've got this already:
Code:
var Times:Number = 0;
var loc:String;
var loc1:String;
var loc2:String;

I've a little static portal, with guides, no server side support. All of it is local content (shared hdd). I'd like to make a page hit counter to know which one is the most useful, and wich isn't used at all. I've browsed the net for a long time today, but everything contains php. Though it's rare, that the swf is not on a webserver. I think there's an easy way to do, just don't know how. So I'd like make a flash that can count how many times the page (or itself) has been loaded.
View 5 RepliesI'm using an ASP.NET server side control for playing mp3, of course I can use javascript or flash controls for doing so, but my problem is that I want the music to be played only once (at site start up), and its playing should continue when user displays new pages, I've used this control in master page, I don't want the music to be restarted whenever a new page is loaded?
View 1 RepliesI have loaded a swf into a fla. The page I loaded it on has a scroll bar. I need the loaded swf to stay at the top of the page and not move when the page is scrolled. Here is my code so far.

When I used hadleResponse function to handle Event butI only loaded a part of page source. Now I want to load all page source such as when we click right-mouse to firefox and select view page source. How do I code?
I have an app with a setup page that requires the user to select a scenario for a quiz. Their choice determines the content that's loaded next.
With as2 I would have used a global variable to indicate the users choice but of course that's not longer an option, and I don't think I can send an event because the next page isn't loaded yet.
So how do I communicate with a class belonging to a dynamically loaded swf that isn't loaded yet?
