ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading / Calling .swf (relative / Static / Hard-coded Paths)
May 7, 2004
if someone can shed some light to this matter... i'm pretty new (somewhat) w/ AS let's say, i got an .swf (voets enahnced mp3-player) @ [URL] --which works perfectly at the moment. i then referrenced this .swf in [URL] --which doesn't work prolly because the .swf is calling the XML (i.e. "onlineplaylist.xml") relative to its whereabout, which is /test08. the question is, is there any way around this problem, so that if i put all .SWFs in a certain location (server/directory/what-have-you...), and referrence it from another server &/or directory (like above), it would work?
[Code]...

So right now, I have a video player that pulls in all sorts of info (flv url, caption file url, video title, description, preview image, etc.) through an external xml file (playlist.xml). It works great, but I need to change the coding so it's not hard-coded into the FLA, rather from the embed code for the swf.
Here's the chunk of AS3 code that's involved in the original loading of the XML data as well as the html text too.

I've got a transition after clicking on a moie clip that goes like this:[code]The mcName variable is a Movieclip delared in the first frame, and set with the name of a movieClip in the onRelease of a button instance:[code]It does take the variable into the FadeFrame function, but doesn't work.It comes out in trace as undefined with the _alpha property.If I hard code the movieClip name into the setInteval it has no problem.Any reason why it doesn't want to operate on the movieClip alpha this way?

I have a list component that has hard-coded labels on it (for testing). I then rotate the list component 90-degrees and notice the text disappears(during design time).
I test the file and the labels do not show up also during runtime.
I can get the labels to show if I rotate the component back to its' original state.

Im playing around with the last.fm api... Specifically the "getLovedtracks" call.... [URL] This is a weird one that I have never come across... The above call requires a username to return a track listing so if I hard code the username into my class like this.... var username:string = "aidanmack" No problems the call works... if I make that username equal to a dynamic text box string that has "aidanamck" typed into it..
so something like... var username:string = mystage.textbox.text
the last.fm api wont except this... I get user does not exist But if I check the call with the charles proxy Flash is defo sending the username "aidanmack" So I wonder if its to do with have how last.fms api interprets the string?

I have two swfs, index.swf and history.swf. History.swf loads and xml file and some images using a relative path. This swf works fine on it's own.When I load history.swf from within index.swf to display it on stage, I get an error saying "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at History()"
I ran a test loading a basic test.swf (just text on stage) from within index.swf and it works fine.I am guessing that maybe once the history.swf is loaded into index.swf, the relative paths within history.swf are failing.

I create a projector for Linux by executing a swf file in flash player and chosing "create projector" from the file menu. The initial swf loads external resources (using MovieClip Loader.loadClip for example). In the swf this works fine but in the projector this fails. The projector seems to always execute in the users home directory no matter where it is in the file system, thus to find the external resources the path should be relevant to the users home directory. The problem i now have is that my application will be packaged and distributed on a cd rom. At development time i have no idea of the path to where the cd-rom will be mounted in the end users machine.For what motive does the projector execute in the users home directory and not in its real location?

I have a bunch of Flash (.fla) files where I need to convert all absolute (root) target paths in timeline scripts to relevant relative ones. Doing it manually in Flash CS4 is very tedious work and using "replace" action is tedious too as there are multiple nested timelines. Is there any way to automate this task?

I am developing a Flash application where I load some images. The image paths are contained in an xml file that is read from the application .Up to now, I am using relative paths in the xml file. My question is if I can use site root relative paths?Let's say the site's directory is sth like below
- root
- /images
- /image1.jpg[code]....
I know I can use absolute paths but I prefer to use site root relative paths if that is possible.

So I got this Flash project of mine. It imports dynamically other flash files that can be found at other places (on the same domain). And those other flash files load XML files using relative paths. The problem is: when I just load one of those other flash files, then they treat their relative paths from the location of the flash file that loaded them on, and not from their own directory on. Is there any way I can simply tell the loaded swf file to keep following it's relative path orders from it's own directory on, and not from the directory of the file that imported it on?
Or are there really just two ways to fix this:
- place the xml files at the location the loaded swf files expect them to be (though this would get quite messy)
- change the ways all the loaded swf files import their xml stuff (this would take quite a long time)
Example:
I got a file "peter.swf" in it's folder "project_peter".
Location: "project_peter/peter.swf"
I also got another swf file, called "basket" (for example).
Location: "project_peter/importedstuff/basket/basket.swf"
And basked would want to load an xml file.
Location: "xml_files/basket_config.xml"
So the true location of the xml file would be:
"project_peter/importedstuff/xml_files/basket_config.xml"
However, the basket file would try to load:
"project_peter/xml_files/basket_config.xml"

I'm having some problems when creating a projector of my movie. The movie dynamically loads other resources using the class MovieClipLoader. In a swf running in the standalone player the path to these resources is relative to the path of the swf. However when I create a projector from the shockwave the path to these resources is absolute and one directory higher than the real path.
For example.
1) I have a main.swf and resource.swf in the same folder /home/myuser
2) main.swf loads resource.swf with the line of actionscript
myMovieClipLoader.LoadClip("resource.swf", someClip);
3) I open the swf in standalone flash player and everything works fine.
4) I create a projector mainProjector and save it in the same directory.
5) The projector cannot find resource.swf unless i put it one folder up in /home in which case all works correctly.
6) I also note that I am able to move mainProjector anywhere in my system since it would seem to always execute in /home regardless of where i move it from which I deduce that the absolute path /home is saved in the projector. This would make it impossible to distribute the projector in a CD-ROM.

Relative paths with Loader seems to be different than with loadMovie. How do I access the main movie's (mov_a) functions from the loaded movie (mov_b)? I tried using mov_b's parent and root but neither worked.
For the sake of clarity, this is mov_a's code:

My situation is this I have 4 movies which load each other, meaning: movie1.swf loads movie2.swf which loads movie3.swf which loads movie4.swf movie3.swf communicates with movie2.swf though the _parent path and it works. but i can't seem to make movie2.swf communicate with movie3.swf since movie2 is _parent i assumed movie3 is a _child...but it does not work so my question is what do i replace _child with?
PHP Code: _child.mc.gotoAndStop("subM" + no); ps: would apreciate it if u could tell me a bit about levels ex: _level10/_level0 what do they mean and how can i tell on what level i have something

We cannot seem to get an original .SWF to load its partner .SWF files.While the <object> tag will load its file properly, the .SWF cannot load other .SWFs into it.The ActionScript is autogenerated via AS2 "Behaviors", and basically calls either loadMovieNum(file, this) or this. LoadMovie(file), depending on how it was loaded previously. Each group of .SWFs that reference one another will exist on a drive-mapped network share.A Client is using the "Behaviors" feature of ActionScript 2.0Said behavior is to load other .SWF files in the same path depending on an onRelease() event Neither the Client, nor ourselves, are fluent with Flash & ActionScript.The .SWF will be hosted in HTML inside of a custom application.The software programmatically loads HTML from a stream, not a file.Said HTML uses the standard <object> tag to host the Flash .SWF.The primary .SWF is located underneath a mapped networked drive (example: "K:") in a series of subfolders.The group of .SWFs will reside in the same folder Our controlled environment is WinXP+SP3 and Flash 9, with extremely-limited ability to update.They are strongly against using absolute paths, as it will affect reuse of certain .SWF groups.
Using Process Monitor and dabling with the "base" <param>, we have seen the following: Without the param, it tries to find the .SWF as a Registry value underneath AboutURLs. This is likely a side effect of our app initially pointing to "about:blank" before dynamically loading the HTML.With the full path ("Kestsub") as base, it tries to find the SWF on the root of the "C:"Testing with a real HTML file (not yet able to test with the App), providing a full path without the drive letter ("estsub") will navigate to this path from the same drive as the HTML. Given our limitation (the "about:blank" thing), this probably will either be the "C:" OR the Registry. Is this possible by using any HTML/ JavaScript on our end, or will we have to have some ActionScript that will determine the current SWF's path, use that to dynamically obtain the location of the other SWFs (also in the same path), then try to teach this Client how to implement the script? Again, they (and we) know little about Flash; they used "Behaviors" to try and get this to work.

Can someone tell me if its possible to create relative as opposed to absolute paths to swcs in module dependencies for Flex or actionscript modules?In Flex Builder i would simply edit the swc path as'../lib/.swc..But there doesn't seem to be a way to edit the path in IntelliJ once you've defined it.

Basically, what I mean is I i have few layers of classes, that calls and change something on the 1st(root) class. In between the process I have to use static var and static function.But when I want to run a function which does not change any variables, for example:otoAndStop(someFrames), I need to make the function a static function too or else there would be error

I have been fighting with my issue of loading an xml file from flash for about 10 hours. When I run the swf on my desktop it works fine. If i access the file directly on my server it works fine as well in FireFox and Internet Explorer. When I run it from my portfolio www dot cspsolutions dot ca/portfolio(first portfolio item) and you run it in FireFox it displays the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: products.xml
at ImageChanger()
at ImageChanger_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I know that the path is correct because I uploaded the whole directory so the file structure should stay the same. To get a better understanding of the situation you can view the file at www dot cspsolutions dot ca/portfolio/imageChanger . It only raises the error in FireFox however the animation does not display in both browsers.

I'd like to have a class that will resolve calls to static functions that don't exist.If you have an object that subclasses the Proxy class, you can override the callProperty() method to catch calls to functions, as properties of that object, that don't exist.How can this be done with static function calls in a class? It cannot be done by making the overridden callProperty() method static. Is there another way?

It contains only static functions.
In my main class file I have imported it and then when I try to call one of the functions I get a compiler error that says there is no method with the name 'ICSNAArrays' I don't understand this. There are no errors importing it. All of the spelling is correct I am 100% sure on that. [url]...

I have an SWF called A.swf which dynamically loads other assets from a relative path. However, if I want to load this A.swf into B.swf, for the dynamic loading in A.swf to work properly, A.swf and B.swf have to be in the same path. But I want A.swf to be in another folder, along with its assets.
There are no broken paths - if the loading path was relative from A.swf, all the assets would load correctly, but when I load A.swf into B.swf, all the paths start from B.swf, even if they are requested from A.swf, and that causes problems for me.
