ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Swf Files In A ScrollPane Component?
Sep 21, 2011
I am developping a player with Articulate Presenter and Flash. I would like to put thumbnails that are in a special folder in swf, into a scrollPane. The scrollPane itself is in a clip loaded when I click on the Thumbnails Tab.
Here is my simplified code :
ActionScript Code:
// I first preload the thumbnailsPanel containing the scrollPane
var thumbnailsPanelClip:MovieClip = completeMenu.attachMovie("thumbnailsPanel","thumbnailsPanel",completeMenu.getNextHighestDepth());
thumbnailsPanelClip._y = 35;
[code]....
Well, my problem is that the ScrollPane is not scrolling until the end of the thumbnails, so I don't know if all the thumbnails are loaded. And even worse, exactly one time on two, the Scroll Bar is not showing at all ... !is it a scrollPane pb ? I use it many times in other parts of my project without any problem ... or is it because there are too many thumbnails ? I have around 30 - 40 to load ..

Using the MovieClipLoader class, what is the difference between loading the external files into a Loader Component or into an empty movie clip. Will one be quicker? They both worked for me, but I've read using the Loader Component is better. Can anyone confirm this? I would think that avoiding components would make things faster/less file size.

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:

trying to load a JPG. Here is my code:
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
var pic_loader:Loader = new Loader();
var my_pb:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
my_pb.source = pic_loader.contentLoaderInfo;
[Code]....
The image loads but it does not "take the place" of the "pic_loader" movieClip like it did in As2. The main issue is I am getting this erroe message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert loader@40fad881 to flash.display.Loader.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

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?

All I want to do is have a scrollPane component on the stage and within that component I would like to have a movieclip that is essentially a list, and each list item is a button to be clicked on. I have no problem doing this if I have buttons within a movieclip, but having them in a scrollPane produces the following error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property mcButtons through a reference with static type fl.containers:ScrollPane.It seems that I am unable to use the scrollPane component as if it were a movieclip and to use dot syntax to access it's content.

I have a game that loads most of the assets of the interface externally (swfs... pngs... mp3's .. etc). Most of this works fine, however,I'm having problems trying to load a SWF that holds a slider component and a few buttons (MovieClips).
Once I've loaded the external SWF that contains the component into my main game logic, I try to access the slider Component. If I dont specify a class type when I do this I get no problems, but if I try to insert it in a variable of type Slider It says it can not cast it.
This causes a problem:
var mySlider:Slider = externalClip_mc.theSlider;
And this seems fine: (Not specifying a class type)
var mySlider = externalClip_mc.theSlider;
The error message I get says something like this:
you can not cast fl.Controls::Slider@114e4041 into fl.Controls.Slider.
I also get the same thing if I try to dispatch a SliderEvent from my external SWF:
you can not cast fl.events::SliderEvent@114e4041 into fl.events.SliderEvent.Why does this happen when I try to access a component and not a member from any other type (int, MovieClip, Number, String ... etc)... ?

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.

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 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.

I have a flash file that loads jpeg files and runs through each on the timeline. I have nav buttons to go back and forth. Here is the problem, all images load on frame 5 and I do this while another image is displayed so that they are loading in the background. I do this so that my initial file size is small, but I can load images in the background making the flash file appear to load quickly and loading other elements after it starts.
So all images load on frame 5, then I go frame by frame until I hit frame 11. If I click one of my nav buttons to go back to say, frame 7, the jpeg is gone and is no longer loaded. How to load jpeg files into the library, or at least, keep them loaded after they have loaded once? I have attached my fla file for reference. I had to rename the extension to eps, but it's a fla file, just rename the extension.
