ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Swf In Sequence?
Jun 8, 2004
I have a main movie with 12 buttons (numbered 1-12), each button loads the relevant swf into a blank 'content' MC on the main stage.I also need to have 1 button called 'start' which plays whichever swf is due next. ie; if you are on swf no. 3 pressing start will load swf no. 4. I guess a simple way would be to have the 'start' button tell the 'content' movie to go to a certain frame which has an action on it to load whichever movie is next... ?

I'm doing a presentation where it loads different swf files in sequence. I already have a holder with width = 819, height = 614. Right now, I'm loading 1024x768 swf files in it.
This is the code in use:
loadMovie("movie1.swf", holder);
holder._width = 819;
holder._height = 614;
The swf file is loading in the correct position, but when I test play it, the first one [movie1.swf] loads and plays in it's original size [1024x768], then the following one [movie2.swf] loads and plays the way I want it [819x614]... Then when the whole movie loops again, now, the first one [movie1.swf] plays the way I want it to.

Now I'd like to add duplicates of the thumbs so as to appear like a reflection. Created another loader and loaded each file again. (Tried "ldr2.content=ldr1.content" and many other versions of that statement to try and set the second loader's content to be the same as the first's, but could not get anything to work. So I had to resort to loading the thumbs again.)
Did that. Still so far, so good. Even used the "rotationX=180" trick you guys showed me to flip the photos. Set the ldr2's "y" to "ldr1.y - event.target.content.height" I learned from yous as well. Got that working and now have two rows of photo thumbnails. Just looking forward to applying a mask (something else you guys showed me) to make the reflection fade real nice.
HOWEVER, at run time, it loads the photos into the two rows of loaders in a different sequence. They're displayed OK, and it would work except for the fact that the second row of photos, the ones rotated 180 degrees along their X-axes - the "reflections" - are not in the same order as the first row.
how to control the order in which the XML file is loaded so that both rows of photos (thumbs, actually) match up? Do some things just load faster and appear random even though the same XML file is being used?

I've got a sequence of 200 images, which are named image_1, image_2 - image_200. All in the same folder. I need to load one, then the next etc, without any human intervention (the reason is below). The following code works locally but when I upload it, it only loads the last image (image 200). I can see why - as the "for loop" is going "full speed", whilst the loading is not being allowed to complete. I need to say "only upload the next image when the current one has finished loading".
My ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);
holder._x = 20;
holder._y = 50;
//timeline.onEnterFrame = LoadMovie;
function GetFileName(name) {
[Code] .....
My reason for this is I'd like to load them sequentially so that once one has finished loaded, load the next (the idea is to build the cache whilst the viewer reads an introduction - the trouble was the image was too large, so I've broken it into 200 tiles).

I need to upload about 200 images but I want them to load sequentially, i.e. when image1.jpg has uploaded, then I need image 2 to upload etc.
Ive attached the Fla. But all the code below:
My trouble is its going straight through the loop and not actually loading the images.
ActionScript Code:
var i:int = 0;
// create and position empty clips for images
// one for load and when the complete - load into the other

I have a 'base' MC on the root. On to which I am trying to load several external .swf sequentially. (sn1.swf, sn2.swf...) I see that there is a small lag or a quick flicker when one movie ends and another loads. Is there a way to solve this so the movies load seamlessly?

I am loading an array of movie clips and adding them to the stage with flash as3, but the problem is that the movie clips are added to the stage as soon as they finish loading, and not in order of there position in the array, so the order on screen appears messed up. How do I ensure that they are added to the stage in the same order that their references exist in the URL?
Here is my code:
var currentLoaded:int = 0;
function loadThumbs(){
for (var i in project_array){
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.

how to code a simple load sequence scene. This is how I had it set up in AS2 -I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a 10 frame shape tween in Scene 1. On the 9th frame, I assigned actionscript that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded, and if it is, gotoAndPlay Scene 2, Frame 1. Then have action in frame 10 of Scene 1 that says to gotoAndPlay scene 1 frame 1 of the current scene. This way scene 1 loops until frame 40 of scene 2 is loaded, at that point, scene 2 frame 1 plays.
How could I set this up in AS3? Here is what I tried - I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a MC that is a simple shape tween that loops in the "Scene 1". I'm trying to assign codein "Scene 1" that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded. If it is, gotoAndplay Scene 2 frame 1. If frame 40 of Scene 2 is not loaded, continure to loop the MC unitil it is. Here is the code I've got for the MC in the "Scene 1"

how to swap to a new keyframe from a animated sequence. I'll try to explain clearer if I can. I have a button that when clicked on an animated sequence starts and the panel slides along which is fine but I can't seem to click on the back button to start a reversed sequence - I want it to slide back to the start page... so the user can click back and forth.
I've uploaded an example - squidgeye....co....uk if you click on the 'hello' button then click the arrow the sequence starts - I got the back button to have a slight colour change when the mouse goes over but that's it! I'm now stumped... and it's really annoying! I have the initial page on keyframe 1, then the animated slide on keyframe 2 - I was trying to put the reverse animated slide on keyframe 3.... but I'm now confused... I'm sure there was a better way but I'm a total newbie

I have a peice of video that I exported as a swf from after effects. Now that i've imoprted it into flash it's broken down into a squence of images. The problem is I need to move the video (Pics) but obviuosly I can only move 1 image at a time and that's a real pain as there is nearly 80 of them. I really need a way of moving all of them at the same time. Highlighting all the frames and moving them doesn't work.

I am working on a big project today and I'm importing images in by the hundreds. Is there an easy way to import an image sequence into the timeline? I remember there use to be with earlier versions of flash but I can't figure it out for CS4 - Luckily these images are named sequentially.

Let's say I have 2 buttons at the beginning and 2 different endings, but same sequence in the middle, how can I click on button 1 > same middle > ending 1 ; as well as button 1 > same middle > ending 2. Surely I know I can do it by duplicating frames, however it seems not right if I have more buttons and more endings.

From some reason when I'm importing a PNG sequence onto stage, it's loading all of the PNGs into one frame instead of distributing them into their own keyframes like it's supposed to. I've seen this problem posted before. Anybody have a solution for this? I've also seen that people have posted that Flash CS3 HATES After Effects PNGs....how bizarre....I'm starting to figure that out.

I've been working with AS3. The crux of the problem is that before I run a function I need to know that certain conditions have been met, for example loading my config.xml and putting it into a class variable. Where I run into trouble is that URLLoader is async so I can't put code after the load, the only thing I can do is put it in a lambda on the listener.
var conf:Object = new Object();
var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, geoLoader, false, 0, true);
ldr.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
function geoLoader (e:Event):void {

This worked great for short bits of code, but I've got a bunch of functions that are relying on huge amounts of preconditions (this pollutes the namespace if I use the first method) or functions that rely on one bit of the stack (which means that I can't use the second method even though it's slightly more obvious to me). So, my question is: How do flash professionals handle preconditions? I'm trying to find a solution that allows tons of preconditions as well as a solution that allows different orders of preconditions or just a few preconditions from a group.

I want 2 swfs in a sequence.I tried one techinique wherein on the last frame of the first swf i have put the followig code
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_holder", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_holder.loadMovie("first.swf");
the problem is that it works fine when I export it to swf but when i export it exe format It does not play the first swf and instead directly plays the second swf.

trying to use a CallAction in a Sequence?the effect I want is to rotate a shape on the Y-Axis while fading the shape to invisible...then adding a new shape with alpha at 0...then un-fading the new shape to visible...then stopping the spin...
so...I'm creating a Sequence, adding a Parallel, then a CallAction, and then another Parallel...seems like the elements in the Sequence should run one at a time, in a serial fashion, in that order they were added to the sequence...but the CallAction always runs before the first Parallel completes.why is the CallAction running out of order?
here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application frameRate="50"
creationComplete="creationComplete()">

I'm making a menu. It consist of three mc's (btn1, btn2 and btn3) and two squares The two squares rescale horizontal in different directions depending on the button that is presses. When the squares come to an hold there is a little gap between them underneath the button that was presses and the button is going 20 pixels down into that gap. Below is the code I have used:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.yPos = function(y){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._y += (y - this._y)/3;
[code]....
And that is where I have problems. Point one when I don't know how to integrate a if (if used) in the button event, so everything is going to move at the same time(btn2 already moves before the squares are in place and the squares are already moving before btn1 is back up again) and secondly the way I have it now btn1 is indeed moving back up again, but after that its up it also going back down again.

I am coding a pretty simple photoslide that gets jpgs from an XML-file and tweens between them. Everything is working well, Flash finds the files and goes through them all. The problem I have is that I want to load them in sequence for the people who don't have fast connections. Right now he loads them all at the same time, which seems pretty unnecessary. I need some way to tell him "if nextpicture is loaded, then tweenToNext()". First I load the XML, then I go to frame 2 where the tweening starts. This is how I load the pictures:
Code:
stop();
function createSlide(pics_xml) {
var picArray:Array = pics_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;

I want to create a preloader that plays a video frame-by-frame in sequence according to the percentage of the total bytes loaded.in short, if the swf has loaded 25%, then it should show the video at frame 25 or at 25% the project; I want an image of my 3d model to start off as appearing to be hand drawn 2D, then transition into a full color 3D image as the swf loads.
Since my background is in 3D, not web design, I only have a basic grasp on Action scripting, so I tried to modify other code snippets with disastrous results, and most of the time, no results.It doesn't make a difference to me whether the video would be encapsulated in a movie-clip or if its just embedded in the time line, whatever is easier to do.

I'm designing a battery of online psychological tests. Each test is created on its own swf file. What I need is help coding a main parent file that will load and unload each of these child swfs in sequence.So, when the main site is first visited, the parent loads "test1.swf" as a child swf. Then, when the user clicks a "finished" button in the "test1.swf" child, the parent unloads "test1.swf" and loads "test2.swf". An important point is that the child must be unloaded completely, as we're dealing with large video files that can't remain in the active memory without causing problems.

Here's an easy question for any actionscript expert: how would you load 200+ BMP images and play them frame by frame ?I have a short animation consisting of about 200 BMP files. I would like to turn it into an SWF. With all 200 of them in the Library, I'm trying to figure out the best way of loading each frame one by one so we can turn this series of frames into an SWF. Without actionscript, you could add them all to the stage, distribute them to layers, then arduously create keyframes one by one for each layer until you have done all 200.
