May 26, 2008
I am buidling a website in which i am importing external movie clips (swfs) using actions script 2.0 all of my imported movie clips so far work fine, but when it comes to import the xml gallery the who website goes in a loop. here is the script i am using to load the external movie clips.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container");
container.loadMovie("xmlgallery.swf");
stop();
is very basic but it works for what i am doing. the question is HOW DO I LOAD THE XML GALLERY if this basic script doesn't work for it is there another way to do it?

I'd like to take a gallery of images I'm bringing via amfphp and have one big preloader for all of them. So, once all the images are downloaded the loader bar is at 100%..Can I do this from an external swf loading in the gallery movie clip?

I would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?

This used to be so easy in AS1 and AS2, but since I haven't been using Flash in 2 years now. looks like time ran over me - and it looks like it'd take me a while before I figure this out in AS3. So, what I want to do is to call external swf into another movie clip and my stage is set like this.
In main timeline I have two layers:first is (center_mc) and contains movie clip "center_mc" which is positioned in the middle of stage and in the second layer (mbottom_mc) is movie clip "mbottom_mc" that will contain buttons as "menubtn01". So what I Want to do is when I click on this "menubtn01" to call external swf into THAT movie "center_mc". So to clear the external swf that "center_mc" is showing with the new.

Last time I wanted to load an external clip I could do it like this on (release) {
[Code]..
So now I want to achieve exactly the same thing in AS3, I have been looking at examples on the web but am getting all sorts of errors and basically don't know what I am doing. I also want to know how to navigate to .swf files in a file structure, as I have to build an old school fscommand file structure for a cd-rom.

I'm trying to make a Flash website that contains a Flash Store (loaded as an external SWF.)
I have set my pages up in a movie clip file called pages_mc. Each desired page is has its frames labeled (ie: "HOME," "PRODUCTS," ect�)
I need to know how to load the SWF titled, flashshop_plugin.swf onto the "PRODUCTS" page of pages_mc.
What is the best way to do this? I've tried a number of things, which have resulted in the external SWF not loading or having it load, but not go away when another page is selected. I'm assuming I would use add/remove child for this? Just not sure how and accompanied by what other code.
PS: The Flash Shop template I am using suggested using the following code to import it:

i don`t know how i got back to the basics but i am having a problem with a preloader. What i do... I have an empty movie clip that loads an swf after a user make a button choise. So after the user choise i make the preloader._visible = true; and in the preloaders movie clip i have this code
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.externals.stop();
mctotal = _root.externals.getBytesTotal();
mcloaded = _root.externals.getBytesLoaded();
[Code]....
The "_root.externals" is the empty movie clip that loads the external swf.
The problem is that when the preloader goes to 100% the external swf plays but plays in loop all the time. In the external swf i have the action stop(); in a frame but it doesn`t stop insted of stoping it replays all the time....

Whenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?

I have some buttons that load an external flash file into the container movie clip with this code:
[code]...
So it plays the tweening out animation of the file that's already loaded, then loads the new file, playing the tweening in animation. However, currently the container movie clip is empty when the flash movie is played. I want to be able to have some content already loaded in it, but when I use the container .loadMovie("start.swf") code, it just keeps loading start.swf into it when any of the other buttons are clicked. Is there a way I can have content load when the flash movie is started, but when any of the buttons are clicked, for it to tween out, and basically, never reappear?

In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.

I'm trying to get an external image in a movie clip symbol when the movie is opened and I'm having no joy. I can get it to work with a mouse over event...
on (rollOver) {
rootObject.activeMouse = true;
mcImage.loadMovie( "image1.jpg" );
}
However, I need it to load without pressing / rolling over anything.

I'm attempting to use the movieClipLoader to load a file onto an instance of a class derived from movieclip. For some reason, this doesn't seem to work, because after it successfully loads, the array that contains these derived class instances suddenly become movie clips and lose all their derived variables (tracing them resutls in 'undefined').So I thought there must be another way. Perhaps there is a way to copy the image data from one movie clip to another, or someone suggested taking a snap shot of the first movie clip and then applying it to the second as a bitmap.

I have a website created all in Flash AS3 and I have a XML Photo Gallery created in a separate file and I am trying to load the gallery into a specific frame on my site.
EDIT:Here is the code I am using:
[AS]var Xpos:Number = 152;
var Ypos:Number = 350;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
When I have the XML file in the same folder as the gallery (which it has to be) Flash gives me an error and the gallery doesn't show up. When I move the XML file though the gallery itself loads into the correct spot but the pictures don't because the XML file isnt there to call them.This is the error it gives me when the XML is in the same file as the gallery:
"Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///ANTHONY/Portfolio/Ggallery.xml

This is my code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(loader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/clientes/clientes_.swf");
loader.load(url);
I'm trying to load an external gallery. It works fine, but, the external gallery needs two xml files to work. My gallery with the xml are located in the folder "/clientes", and main swf is in root. When i load the swf gallery, the main swf load the xml files from the root, not in the folder clients, and is that what I need. I need to find a way to load the client_.swf an his xml files, all from the clientes folder.

I have one swf that was made by Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory Deluxe program, and some other files comes with it.
The problem is that when it loads into my main swf doesn't appear into the movieclip that i target to the code but on the stage, on top of all others, i don't know exactly what happens, it seems not to be in the display list!!!
The point is that i'd like a back button showing in front of the gallery in order to be able to close it and go back.

Ive finished Kirupa's excellent Photogallery Tutorial and Im very happy with the result. I have exported the page as a SWF file and I now want to load it into my main page (essential in the design on my website). But when I do so the larger images do not show up! Strangely however, the title and the thumbnails are displayed - so the XML file is still being loaded. Additionally, the drop down menu I made also does not work.

I've been trying to load a movie clip from a movie clip that has been loaded. I am trying to provide a simple means to change the look / feel of the flash application by placing the graphics and controls into a second swf. Each different screen is represented by a different movie clip that is in the second swf. So I've got app.swf loading ui.swf. I want to load screen1_mc from ui.swf.
The app.swf is loaded by a master swf. There may be multiple copies of the app.swf that can be loaded by the master.swf and each app.swf could be configured differently. For each "unique" app.swf it is stored under a unique folder that is not known to me in advance. Since I don't know the unique folder in advance, I can't use import / export for runtime sharing. Is there any way to load the movie clips from the loaded movie clip? (Basically, I want to treat the ui.swf as an extension to the library.)
