I have a problem in loading an XML file. In my music player, songs are loaded from an XML and playing from the stored loacation. Also, I added a pagination in the player. In the pagination, while clicking the next section, another set of songs xml created and load the songs according to the file. But it is not working properly. When I clicked on the same button thrice, the next set XML loadede and played from it. it this problem regarding the delay in writing the XML or anyother problem? I cannt figure out the correct issue in the file. and there is no error in the code..
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I have a "loader.swf" after which my "main.swf" loades. I have used a loaderPro v3 (AS2) component. Doing that was easy but then when it starts loading, even before the loading completes the main.swf starts playing in the background. And i have no coding in my actions panel.
Got a really big problem here. I keep on getting "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" when I load a .asc file on my main.asc file, i use the method load() in my code. I really don't understand why this happens, but when i comment out the code that loads the asc file, I can successfully connect to fms. I can't figure out what's happening here. Btw, i'm using fms4 in windows 7 32bit.
what I'm trying to do is make a preloader that will preload about 20 external SWF files before it lets you get to my main file. I want to do this because my main file needs the SWFs to be ready to go once its done loading. I have looked around and i found a few ways to do this with the "if (loadedBytes>=totalBytes)" and the code loops back till the files are done loading... this would be just what i need but i cant seem to get it to work. the file just seems to start loading my files but does not loop and just runs the time-line even once i state what frames i want it to loop.
I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);
Is there a way to extract a single file from a zip file in Adobe AIR?
I'm using NoChumps zip library to extract files from a zip. In this library the entire IDataStream is loaded into memory and after that you can extract file entries easily. In cases where the zip is 5 to 10MB there are no problems. But when the zip is 80MB, which many are, 80MB is loaded into memory. This causes the app to crash and run slow on mobile devices. According to the zip specification,
"A ZIP file is identified by the presence of a central directory located at the end of the file, this allows appending of new files. The directory stores a list of the names of the entries (files or directories) stored in the ZIP file, along with other metadata about the entry, and an offset into the ZIP file, pointing to the actual entry data."
Also, I do not have control of the size of zip files but most average is 60 to 100MB. Files inside are ~4MB.

Is there a way to check file name case when loading a file? For example:
My URLRequest has this: "filename1.swf", but the actual file on the server is this FILENAME1.swf. Since the file names do not match case, is there a way i can have flash and AS3 catch this?
I have a problem loading remote XML file into SWF file. Im doing a banner for a client with adds that is supose to load constantly updated XML file from my clients server and load some images into flash form it.

I have problem in loading multiple swf file into a main swf file. I will state the things clearly at first. I have a main Index file to which i have to load some swf files which i have placed in a seprate folder. I tried to load those movies to main swf file using loadMovie it worked well when i give the exact path of the swf movies in subfolders. Aslo it worked when i placed the entire swf files including the Index file on a single folder, this worked only on my local machine suppose if i copy those entire folder to some other Computer and tried to run the Index file it doesnt works if it is in an single folder it works. The thing i need is the Index file alone has to be placed on the main folder and rest of the Swf file has to be placed on sub folder so when i run the index file it has to load the required swf file from sub folder this even have to work when i run the application on some other computers.
[URL] I'm using 2 .swf files. The Main.swf file loads the portfolio.swf file when you click on the Portfolio tab. On the portfolio.swf page I have 4 buttons that go to different frames on the portfolio.swf file The buttons do not work when you click on them and I have no idea why.

I am creating an interactive CD ROM that has a flash file with a 200 meg video file in it. I want to run a pre-loader that will indicate "loading..." and indicate the file is loading. I have a stop action script built into my first keyframe and on a seperate layer the following action script:
[Code]...
When I go from scene 1 to scene 2 and load the movie, there is a 4 - 5 second delay before I get my Loading text. The file then loads rather quickly and the video file plays. I know this is a big file to load into memory from a CD, but would like the "Loading..." to display immeidately, so the user will know what is going on. Does anyone know why I am geting this delay or how to overcome it? Again, this is not an internal job or running from a web server. It is loading on a local client from a CD ROM drive.

I am creating a new site using Flash 8 AS2, I have a question but im not even sure if its possible. I have created (for arguments sake) Main.swf which is made up of a logo, music player and a main window, this main window is a MC called content (content_mc). This loads external SWF files into it. At the moment when the main.swf file is accesed it automatically fades content_mc window to black then fades back out to display a swf file called 'door.swf' that all loads fine and heres my question --- within door.swf there is a button (door_btn) what i want to happen is when door_btn is clicked I want it to look at the action script listed under the main.swf file and fade out content_mc (currently displying door.swf) then fade back in with the a new swf file i.e room.swf. So the main.swf file has no buttons on it, all the buttons will be displyed within the swf files loaded into the content MC, when any of these buttons are clicked I want the Main.swf to perfom the transition and disply the new swf file, is this possible ?[code]I know ive got to put some code into the external swf files but i dont know what ? Can any one help or point me in the right direction of a good tutorial ?

I created a swf that I have on my website. The swf loads xml data. it works fine when I test it locally. But when I upload it to the server, I get a IOErrorEvent().[code]How can I figure out what is causing this error? Driving me crazy...been up from 9am - 5am trying to create this header for the site and now I'm stuck on an XML load error...
Correcting the comment tags fixed my xml loading problem.I then was faced with the images within the xml file not displaying on the screen. When I went to www.mysite/media/myFlash.swf, the images loaded perfectly; however, when i went to www.mysite.com where the 'myflash.swf' was in a the images threw another error.I corrected this issue by changing the file path in the xml...instead of acquainted.jpg I changed it to media/ specials/ acquainted.jpg.
I'm trying to load in another swf on a button click using Aaction Script 3.The problem I'm having is that it just seems to load and mix the movies together. Is is possible to load and replace on stage the newly loaded swf similar to how you could do this in AS2 using loadMovieNum()[code]
I am trying to create a flash file out of a .flv movie to behave similar to what you can see in [url]ca.gov[/url]. The nice thing about the flash in ca.gov is that before the whole movie loads the flash starts playing it. You can easily see this if you have httpfox or httpwatch installed on your browser [URL] that loads only the flash). The file [URL] loads first and loads [URL] while playing it.
I'd like to create a similar .swf from my .flv file. I use Adobe Flash to publish the .flv file into .swf but what I see in my page is that it loads the whole movie (.flv) file before playing it.
What I am wondering is how I can create my .swf so it starts playing the .flv file while it is loading it. I understand that the movie file I'm using is of type .flv and the one on ca.gov is of type .f4v; but as far as I understand this shouldn't be why it's not working the way I want.
Also, it would be ideal for me to detect the bandwidth of the user and let the flash loads different versions of the .flv file based on the user's bandwidth.
I'm trying to load mp3 files from an xml playlist but they are not playing when I want them to. All the mp3's are in the same directory as the swf and play ok when I simply load them with a basic Sound object, but not when I try and load them from the xml file.
I am loading a url from an xml file, when working the structure was: mycarousel.swf images(folder) -image1.jpg -thumb1.jpg
The xml was <item thumb="images/thumb1.jpg" image="images/image1.jpg"></item>
This worked fine. Now I want to put all that into a folder called 'carousel' and then load this into my main movie. var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("carousel/mycarousel.swf"); So the structure is now
The problem is whatever I do I get a URL error on the xml file. I do not really understand how flash deals with relative and absolute paths and how to resolve this.
