ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Bar For External Flash Files
Mar 14, 2003
how can i make a flash movie, have a loading bar for a movie being loaded into it, but also for the content in the main movie.
and have both the percentages in the same loading bar.
i.e.
main = 25%
loadee = 75%
-----------------------
total = 50%
i dont want a loading bar in each of the movies being loaded in?
something like _level1._getBytesLoaded() or something?
i think i tried it before but since _level1 hadnt even began to load it disregarded it and assumed it was done..

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

i have been working with a few basic flash presentation to learn the ropes. However, I am working on a flash file which, when compiled, pulls in flash content from elsewhere in the Parent folder. I have read through the FAQ and cannot find the answer, as there doesn't seem to be any Actionscript which handles the importing of these external files.
Are there other methods that I am unaware of? I need to edit these other files, however I find it more beneficial to first understand how the Flash file is compiled before editing.

I've been using flash functionality in order to fill in dynamic text variable with an external data. The script works fine, except that now runs very slow - around 30 seconds or so.
myData = new LoadVars();
System.useCodepage = true;
myData.load("get_content.php?id="+_root.id); //get external content[code].............

I recently got the following code from one of your tutorials and am wondering why it is that when I try to change the .jpg images to .png images, the images no longer appear in the swf file. Does flash no allow .png files to be loaded.The reason that I need the files to be png is because the have to have a transparent backgroung.[code].....

I am having trouble trying to use actionscript to load different files when different values are changed. I am currently using a tilelist and they have different values so the code is something like this: (the title is just there, non-related)
if (startTileList.selectedItem.value == 1)
{
//textFile1 load here[code].........
So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

I'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:
loadList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectItem);function selectItem[code]..........

I'm having trouble importing an external .swf into my .fla. file. The only AS that is working gor me is-
loadMovie("panoSceneNoMarkers.swf", _root);
However, once the swf shows, it replaces the background interface. I assume I have to add a _level into the code but how?

I've been making a game using Adobe Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 on my desktop and it was working fine. I tried to transfer the folder containing the flash file and all of the .as files to my laptop via a jump drive and now, when I run the the swf, it doesn't appear to be loading any of my .as files. All of the files are still located in the same folder as my flash files and it still compiles and runs fine on my desktop.

It's been a while since I've posted here so I apologies if it's in the wrong place.
My ProblemI have a large (30mb) swf file created in InDesign. It's an interactive PDF. Now rather then allowing people to view it straight away and having to wait elements to load we'd like to pre-load it somehow.
I was wondering how I might go about building a preloader for this SWF file. I have limited knowledge of action script, and most of that was as2 rather then 3.

When I click on a button eg news, I use the loadmovie function to load news.swf. In news.swf, I have the following command (from Kirupa scrolling dynamically loaded text tut) to load a text file in:

i know how to load in external .as files so I can update easily. but why do you still have to re-publish the swf in order for the new .as file 2 take effect.is there any way that you can make a .as file be read in & so that it updates the .swf file, much like the way loading an xml or .txt file does?

I'm making an image catalogue for a client, and for reasons unknown to me my client insisted that the images be stored as binary data in a database. ( i know, i know....but they wouldnt' listen) Anywho, the format of these images is windows bitmap (.BMP). I've just found out that they want to be able to manipulate these images in flash. So i need to have actionscrip open these images.Since the images are stored in the db they have to be accessed via a php file like this: get_image.php?id=imageid.
This works fine for displaying the images in a browser as i just put the string inside an img tag so: <img src="get_image.php?id=someid"/>The thing is, I can't seem to get flash 8 to load these images via loadmovie. I've been able to load jpeg and gif files no problem, but can't seem to get these bmps to work. Adding to misery is that because there are going to be in the neighbourhood of 40,000 images, i dont' want to actually have the images saved locally.this is what i have, it works fine for jpegs and gifs:this.createEmptyMovieClip("pic", 1);pic.loadMovie("image1.gif");

I'm trying to import some external files to my main flash file with buttons. I click button 1 and content 1 is loaded, click button 2 and content 2 is loaded, and so on. So, I got two ways for doing it:[code]The problem with this first option is that the content to the box is not renew with each click but it stacks one over each other, so I can't use it =/

I made a flash movie with 4 buttons that I need to each load swf files into the original. I have 4 selections that each need to load a different slideshow. The second part of my problem is telling the loaded swf where its target area is to be displayed in.

I am trying to load an external SWF into my project, I am pretty sure that my code is fine but when I try to display the SWF all I get is an instance of my StartPage movie clip. The code for the loader does not mention or even any relation to this movieclip! I have the loader in a class file for a separate movieclip, but no matter where I put the code I get the same result. I cannot understand why this is happening!I tried loading the same external SWF into a different project, and it worked fine.Is this a common problem? I haven't managed to find anyone online with the same problem.

on Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay, but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. Each of my buttons has this assigned
button6.onPress = function() {
my_mc.loadClip("file:///c:/flash pictures/picture6.jpg", "container");
};
and results in this error
Error opening URL "file:///c:/flash pictures/picture6.jpg"
What's the correct format for putting in a file path? This may be an immensely stupid question, but I'm new to this and totally confounded.

I' have a website where I have to load external swf files (contains a preloader and pictures). I am able to load the first swf file but it only goes till the preloader, once the preloader gets to 100% loader it stops there, but it's supposed to display the a picture. I have created an empty movie clip and it's instance name is imgMask and this is the code I'm using to load the external swf.
_root.imgMask.loadMovie("boda_katy.swf", 65);
When I preview it it loads, the preloader counts the picture size and once it reaches 100% it stops there, doesn't display the pic. But when I use
"loadMovie("boda_katy.swf", 65);
It shows the picture. But I needed to load into the movie clip imgMask.
