View 3 RepliesI'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.
View 7 Repliesi'm trying to do something with no success so i would like to know if it's possible.
I load an external swf in a host swf. Loaded swf dispatchs a customized event.
And i just want to get Event back in host swf file...
I've tried a symply code but it doesn't work :
external swf, class of document
Code: Select all
package monpaquetage
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

I am trying to use the localhost server on my macbook for website development (instead of doing testing by ftp). I downloaded the files from my webserver to the Site folder on my macbook. The Apache is running. My site is flash and make use of the SWFAddress class. The AC_RunActiveContent.js file is in the same folder as the index.html file. When I try to open the page [URL] in firefox, the title and favicon loaded properly, but the embedded flash could not be displayed. However, the same set of files works alright on the remote web server.
I thought it might be problem with the directory and I have tried ./swf/home.swf, swf/home.swf, /swf/home.swf in the index.html file but none work. I already tried changing all the swf/home or ../swf/home.swf or whatever to swf/home.swf but still the flash does not load. I am posting this index.html coz despite all the discrepancies, it works on the remote server.
Would this be problem relating to the SWFAddress class?

View 1 RepliesI have a movie that's 500x400 px in level 0 and has lots of thumbnails with pictures that I want to open. the thumbnails open a 500x400 px movie above the other but on level 1. the problem is that when the new movie loads on level 1, the thumbnails on level 0 (that are now hidden by the new movie) are still active, and if i click anywere in the movie on level 1, it trigger an action from level 0. Is it possible to load a movie to level 1 that deactivates the movie in level 0 without unloading it?
View 1 RepliesI'm curious what the correct methodology is for loading image and video data directly from the file system, without employing HTTP.I'm writing an AIR slideshow application, and it works great but currently relies on a local MAMP server to hand the app all the media via the standard, tried and true, FLASH media loading methodologies.I know that since FLASH was developed as a web plugin it handles this way of receiving data best, but I'd really like to extricate this rather onerous and unnecessary bit and have the app as a stand-alone player, however, I'm unclear what the "correct" way is to load the media.I have the File objects ready and I've gotten as far as having the user select the local directory from which to pull the media and I'm getting a list of the files (based on their extensions) from the list.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking at a tutorial to display placemarks using a KML file on a flex application. I'm using IGN API (openscales) in flex project. The example works perfectly (http:/[url].......
<os:KML url="http://www.parisavelo.net/velib.kml"
proxy="http://openscales.org/proxy.php?url="

But when I'm hosting the same kml file on my server like that :
<os:KML url="http://www.cycom.org/velib.kml"
proxy="http://openscales.org/proxy.php?url="

Placemarks don't show up on the map. I tried to host the kml file on different hosts but that doesn't change.
I've got a thumbnail button slideshow of some images and to keep the file size down I placed all the images in separate .swf files and linked the buttons so the images will appear in a space on stage (level 1) as follows:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("mov-1.swf", 1);
}
I've got 15 images linked this way and it all works fine when viewed in the html page on my computer. But when I upload to my webserver, the images on level 1 don�t appear.

I need to set a value for the Referer header when making a request to my local proxy script from Flash. As recommended in this question: Facebook Proxy Loader Security, I need to check the HTTP_REFERER to test if traffic is coming from my own domain. The problem is that when using a loader like the code below, no Referer header is sent.
package com.utils.loaders {
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code]...
According to the Flash docs: [URL] there is only very limited support for HTTP headers in Flash Player, and Referer is prohibited. Is there anything I can do here other than have my proxy check that $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is empty? (and that seems like a fairly large hole in security right there)
I have an swf wrapped with swfobject in html on a intranet: url...That swf tries to access a flv file on a network drive: \sub.mydomain.comd atamediamymovie.flvI get an NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error when i try to load that flv file. The code works fine when accessing files on the same http domain and when locally on my hd.I've tried both with single and double backslash i the path so that it isnt broken.. cause I noticed that flash removes single backslahses.It actually seem as if I cant access any file on the netwrok drive. So therefore I cant load a policy file (crossdomain) from that netwrok as well.Ive added the network path to the Global Security settings panel, but that doesnt help.But it actually works in plugin version 10.1.. but not in 10.2 or 10.0.

I have a button that is a few levels down in movie clips. When It is pressed, it is supposed to load diamonds.swf. It does this, but not on the first press. On the first press the _root time line goes to and plays "fade," but doesn't execute the rest of the script. [code]...
View 2 RepliesI am planning a complex system where eventually users will need to do immersion into 3rd dimension and also play lots of flash quizz. I know director can load flash which makes it obvious choice for development but coding in lingo (a non POO language) maybe a little bit of regression looking the average age of the development team that I am building. So looking forward, i wonder if it's possible to make flash load director levels.
View 3 RepliesI have seen in some games where instead of loading the whole game at the beginning of the game, they load one level, with the preloader on the screen, then when that level is over, another level is loaded, with the preloader on the screen, etc. I've been trying to find a tutorial or some information on how to do this online but couldn't find anything. I have a game that takes a long time to load when loading it all at the beginning of the game, so I'd like to load it level by level.
View 7 RepliesI have a FLA that needs to randomly load 5 different SWFs at level 10.
View 5 RepliesI'm designing a site at the moment & I've run into a minor snag. I am loading about five external swf's, for each page of the site, from the main 'home' page. you can view it here Trouble with levels. I can load the movies fine, but what I want is to load each new movie into a higher level than the last, as each movie appears with a mask (for an example have a look at the site I've done then click on the 'Contact Us' button - that is what I want to do on all of the pages...) all of the swf's are loaded into level one with the exception of the 'Contact Us' page. (By the way, there is no 'News' page yet)
The very simple code I used to load the movies is:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 2);
}
I am making rest calls with a urlload.load(urlRquest).
also
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.contentType = "application/xml";
When I make the calls within the Flash IDE, I get HTTPStatusEvent.status = 400 (or whatever) when an error occurs. And the IOErrorEvent.data contains xml (or sometimes a string).
However, when I run the swf in a browser (Firefox Mac or PC), the HTTPStatusEvent.status = 0, and the IOErrorEvent.data is empty. (Interestingly in Safari Mac, I do get the 400 status, but still no data.)
I gave up on Flash heavy coding when it switched to AS3. Always thought it was less intuitive, longer, and a brand new language and I got tired of trying to keep up when most of my clients did not want to pay for a full flash site. But I got this client...
Here's the problem, I can load a swf into my main stage or into an MC , but I cannot find out anywhere how to set parameters or load into a level so it doesn't replace the current material or fix to a size that doesn't block my other material.[code]...
I'm using xml to load .flvs into a movie player. I have it setup to load an external .swf to level 1 when the movie is finished. My goal is to have the .swf on level 1 select the next .flv from the xml array by way of simple buttons. Needless to say, it's not working. Anyone care to give it a crack?

How can i load this data from an external file which is easy to edit for the level-desiners ? (and what is best to use, xml, json,?) Is is not better to just use 1 datafile instead of 3 and what is the best way to do this?
how do i load a movie clip SYMBOL at the highest level and then unload it.
i dont want a SFW or JPG to be loaded- that would be one of the symbols from the same swf file.
the issue is- i have used "getNextHighestDepth()" to create movie clips.. now i need to add a box on top of that- so again, i will have to use "getNextHighestDepth()" - which im having hard time to unload (when i use duplicateMovieClip) -
im trying to create a level select screen so the buttons unlock as you complete a level, so far i have this on each button:
on(release){
if(this.number <= currentItem){
gotoAndPlay(3);

I am trying to load multiple images into a scene and then cycle through the images one at a time.So, here are the essentials what I've put together in AS3:First I set up a counter and a Loader

Then, after loading a list of images from an XML file, I call a function that I called "createImages". This function then takes the list of images and creates a bunch of loaders:

So far, so good! I now have a bunch of loaders each with a different name "img1","img2","img3" etc.
I have a photo gallery that loads many images using a for loop (image data is from XML file). Simplified code looks like this:
Code:
var photos_xml = new XML();
photos_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
