I have a huge SWF. Instead of loading every frame and playing from the beginning with loadMovie(), is it possible to load only say frames 100 to 120? Also, if I have a pause button, how do I make loadMovie() stop loading to conserve network bandwidth?

Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?
View 3 RepliesMy server network bandwidth is too small to provide service for many people.so I cached my app. - App. size is 4mb, I *try* to reduce size but app. have many embeded resources. - It's working good on my test & dev. and most browsers. but some browsers have problem already known. I read many articles and blog.

how to stop loading in middle of loading .swf or image files. in as2 .
It should stop completely loading any bytes from the server.
I'm trying to get the bandwidth outputted on my flash player and the weirdest thing is happening. I have the following code:
[Code]...
I have a project where I'm removing code for bandwidth detection, but after I remove it, my code in the }else{ won't execute anymore like it did before. Not sure what I'm missing? Maybe a pair of curly braces somewhere? Here is before, and after bandwidth code removal:
stop();
images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;[code].....
We are having a little problem implementing bandwidth detection with FMS, for some reason when enable it, bandwidth consumption spikes significantly I am wondering why? and if there a white paper somewhere that would talk about how properly implement this feature.
View 4 RepliesI have made a preloader that is in the same swf as my main Movie.I went and set all my linked movieclips to *not* export in the first frame.However, I seem to still have quite a bit loading in my first frame (64kB) and I can't quite figure out what it is? The only movieclips I have set to export in my first frame is my preloader movieclips ("container" and "preload bar") both of which are simple shapes I made in flash.

View 1 RepliesI have the following scenario:
One application JEE / Flex 4 running on a tomcat, inside my Flex layer I have a iFrame passing a url to an ip of my internal network (http:url....) which is another application running within an industrial PLC.When access this app from within my internal network works fine, but when I try to access this iFrame to an external network in my home for example have a timeout error onhttp:[url].........
I believe this error occurs because the flex client is trying to run this url as I was in a internal network.Is there any way to run this url from an external network?
I have a SWF that I am running on a kiosk and the Actionscript is calling a PHP script residing on an internal IP address. As everyone always says, it runs great with the IDE, however when I publish this file and run it, I get nothing. I cannot even output errors and such into a textfield. I'm totally baffled as to how I can debug this.

I have an swf wrapped with swfobject in html on a intranet: [URL]. That swf tries to access a flv file on a network drive:
\sub.mydomain.comdatamediamymovie.flv
I get an NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error when I try to load that flv file. The code works fine when accessing files on the same http domain and when locally on my hd.
I've tried both with single and double backslash I the path so that it isnt broken.. cause I noticed that flash removes single backslahses. It actually seem as if I cant access any file on the network drive. So therefore I cant load a policy file (crossdomain) from that netwrok as well. I've added the network path to the Global Security settings panel, but that doesnt work. But it actually works in plugin version 10.1.. but not in 10.2 or 10.0. How is that for weird. I think it has something to do with security sandbox when accessing file over networks.
I have an activeX control for a network camera when it is installed on my PC. I want to use that network camera in actionscript by loading its activeX control, but don't know how to do that.
View 1 RepliesI monitor (and log to server) most user errors in our flash game. Quite frequently I see security errors related to trying to make requests to a cross-domain URL (usually the Facebook Graph API). 99% of our players can make these graph API calls with no issues.What I think is going on is that the client makes a request, but fails to load the crossdomain.xml file. I don't quite know how AS3 handles this in the case of a failure to load the crossdomain policy file...will it retry for every URLRequest made until it succeeds in loading it, or does it just give up forever?

Currently, I do serialize my model object to the SharedObject instance:
try {
var mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("sig");
mySo.clear();[code]....
Likewise, I load the saved model using the SharedObject instance. Works great.Ultimately, I'd like to serialize it to a file - which fails. Here is how:
var fp: File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
fp = fp.resolvePath( PREFS_FILENAME );
var _prefsStream:FileStream;[code]....
The complementing read operation suddenly breaks and reports missing bytes.In fact, I can't image how FileStream / _model.writeExternal() is able to serialize, since it needs to somehow know, that a new serialization operation is about to start. If it doesn't know, it won't be able to determine, which object instances are left to serialize.Thus, I image that my concept is completely wrong or I missed how to initialize the serialization operation.I'd be happy to read the raw ByteArray from the shared object and write it to a file. Unfortunately, I didn't find a method to retrieve from a SharedObject a ByteArray of a certain property, in my case mySo.data.model.My question is loosely related to this one: Why does delete( DictionaryInstance[ key ] ); fail?
Anyway I am having problems with my flash file. I am calling a movie through actionscript using the loadMovie command into a container (movieclip) on stage. The code i have used is below;
Code:
var MoviePath =Path[slide_count];
loadMovie(MoviePath, loader_mc);;
The movie files are stored externally, and i have set the paths into an array as there is multple movies.
The problem I am having is pausing the actual movie and resuming it when they clicked on a particulr button on stage.
I have used this two codes when they click the pause button. But am not sure why it is not working.
Code:
this.loader_mc.stop();
this.loader_mc.play();
I have traced to see whether the button is working or not and it seems to be responding when i click on the button. Just that the movie is not pausing.
The whole flash file is set on one scene with buttons on the one layer, the actionscript on another, and the movie container (loader_mc) is on its own layer as well.
Any support will be well recieved, as I have wrapped my brain around this and cant seem to solve it. I have tried various combination as well. being,
_root.stop();
_root.loader_mc.stop();
_this.loader_mc.stop();
I did a MC called "bgproducts" on the root frame no:46 to 59 then stop(); and in this MC, you have an animation and stop at frame no :64 then stop(); in the frame 64, i have another an empty MC called "productsMC". when i do this code in bgproduct frame no 64 : productsMC.loadMovie("main.swf", ""); it plays the frame on the root 46 to 59 non-stop and nothing to loadmovie, and also the main.swf has a preoloader then frame 2 an load from xml file.

I'm currently working on a school project and have come to the stage where I need to put all of my swf's together. But I'm running into an issue with getting the swf's in my file.I've at first tried to do the same thing using scenes, but this didn't work either. I've read on several fora's that the scene thing in flash had some weird things and was recommend to use loadMovie instead.Now I'm trying to use loadMovie, but I can't get this to work either. I've tried the exact same code with an image and this is working. As soon as I try to do it with a swf file, the file loads and leaves a complete blank. I've read the list of objects in the swf and all variables are undefined, could this be related?I'm currently using AS 2.0.
View 7 RepliesI've been sitting here for the last 2 hours trying to figure this one out.I have an empty movieclip on stage, and I'm loading external images in it using loadMovie()The problem is as following; I want it to resize when the image has fully loaded.I've been googling and googling non-stop, but found nothing that works.
View 1 RepliesI have a template that have some buttons in the header. I add one button because my client needs one more section in the SWF. When the movie loads the behave of the intro is to load the first button running from flag fotogram "s1", but it's not working properly. The button get's stuck and it's not behaving like it should. When I rollOver or rollOut is not doing what it should do. Why is happening this? I'm loading another swf with loadMovie but it's _lockroot = true. I tried not loading that flash but the button is still not working fine.

View 1 RepliesI've used loadMovie() often in the short time I've been using Flash. But never to load a JPEG dynamically. For a site interface, I have little thumbnails, which open to new browser windows. This is partly annoying though, as each one opens in it's own window, so the user would have to close a whole bunch of 'em after clicking all those thumbnails. To try to fix this, I read that JPEGs can be loaded at runtime onto the stage. I've already seen the photo gallery tut, but I only require a pop-up window with one image and no left/right buttons, etc. I've tried following the tutorial for the first few steps, making a shape the size I want the images to be, converting it to an MC, and naming the MC instance on the stage. Then, I created a new layer on frame 1 with
Code:
loadMovie("CS_00_1.jpg", _root.picture);
, but when testing it, I see nothing. I've tried a few different things. Before, the fla was in a separate folder, so I had to include "Screens/" in the name. Just in case that was the problem (I didn't get any errors in the Output), I moved it into the directory with the images. I tried absolute and relative addressing. I opened up the image in PS and resized it to the size of the symbol on the stage and made sure it wasn't Progressive (I read in a thread that Flash doesn't load Progressive JPEGs), but still nothing. I even tried loading a file that didn't exist to make sure it was looking in the right place the other times (as it didn't give me any error).
i am using a simple loadmovie and it works fine on my computer and another one i checked but there it doesnt run on all computers. and they do have flash player 9. i trued to change the sctionscript to 1 and it still isnt working and i have no idea why. i also dubble checked that the files are all in the correct folder and they are.
View 4 RepliesOn the interactive section of my page here: [URL]. I have a bunch of externally loaded swf files that are supposed to load into the black square in the middle. As you can see, some of the swfs partially load, just the text for most, and then some don't. If you click another section then click back, it loads fine and you can see what it's supposed to look like. This doesn't make much sense to me, considering the swf files are done on a single frame, with the text just a layer below the image. So why does a portion of the swf load but the other doesn't and why do some and not others? I have the swfs loading using loadMovie. (Example below):
Code:
container.loadMovie("movieclipname.swf");
container2.loadMovie("movieclipname2.swf");
container3.loadMovie("movieclipname3.swf");
container4.loadMovie("movieclipname4.swf");
This works perfectly with every other site I've done, and I've used that same setup many times on this site. Yet for whatever reason. It doesn't work regularly.
[URL]The movie I'm loading in is actually 2 frames long, and upon loading it in, I want to goto the second frame..I thought a simple moviename.gotoAndStop(2); would do it, but alas, does not work!
View 1 RepliesI'm running macromedia flash mx, and I'm trying to make a linkable swf by following this procedure: I select the object and then convert it to symbol. Then I choose " button " Right click at the object---> actions ---->[+]--->browser/network ----> getURL. I type my url and choose 'self" target.
When I test movie the hand symbol appears at first, but when clicked it turns to arrow. Exactly the same happends when I appload the swf and of course there's no link ...
I'm trying to load some swf movies using loadMovie, but I'm having the following problem: There are three movies: 1.swf, 2.swf, and, 3.swf.
=> 1.swf loads inside 2.swf
=> 2.swf loads inside 3.swf
When I test 3.swf, it plays only 1.swf (exactingly where I put it in 2.swf - coordinates) but doesn't play 2.swf. Everything looks correct, including the containers. All actionscript is in the frames and I'm using Flash MX.
