ActionScript 2.0 :: Not Loading External Content On Refresh
Dec 21, 2007
I have an swf that loads images from a directory within the site. If I click on a link that takes me to the site, the images load. If I then try to refresh, the images no longer load.
Code:
var loaded:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
var Image1:String = "images/flash/play_9.jpg";
I'm loading one SWF into another but the internal one is coming over the main content and that can't happen.here is the part of my code where the external content is being loaded anyone hason what I can do to fix this? here is my code:
Code: var loadAnimBox:Loader = new Loader(); var vid_mc:MovieClip;
how to load external swfs into the an MC content box using movies with embedded buttons?the problem i'm running into is this: i have animated buttons within movie clips. i also have a main_content MC in my scene into which i'm trying to load background images from another file. this other file has 3 frames, each with a different image.i don't know what the action script would be for a movie/button to load my external swf frames into the main_content MC.
So I know how to load external images via XML, but don't know how to make it so that it can load both movies and images. Right now I can just load images such as .jpg, .gif, and .png.I want to also be able to load movies such as .swf (.avi would be cool if possible but if not, its not a big deal).So basically how do I change the below code so I can also load a movie if I wanted to, instead of the image.Here is my code:
XML code: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
My project has about 400 independent files. It was originally created in AS2 using the following script.
on (release){loadMovie("A_002.swf", _root);}
This same script is used every time I need to load the following .swf movie.I would like to use a similar (equivalent) script using AS3. (Please note that the objective is not to load dynamic content into a particular file as when creating a "Gallery". My objective is for the new loaded movie to applear in its own screen. At the same time the file on scree shall unload completely or disappear.
I am working on a flash project (menu and a few pages) which will be run from a localhost and will load images as well as data from a mySQL tables (Wordpress in fact). As a result each piece of content loads relatively fast, however since I have several things to load on a page, the flash freezes for a second. The general idea is to show a nice short animation at that point to mask the loading and then show the fully loaded page, but the loading causes lag to the entire flash movie, including said animation. Presentation is important for this project but I'm a bit new to AS3 and can't find a working solution. Is there a way to make different movieclips to load their content and do their things independently at lower priority than actions outside of them, so that the global animation goes uninterrupted while the movie clip with the page loads its content.

[URL]..the opening squence i suppose it's all just movie tweens between files, but how is this thing done, when you click a button, the middle screen/part of the site, has a transition effect, loads, and there is a new page! i know how to do the transitions, and the loading bar, but how do i exactly tell my button, where to load an external movie file!...
basically, i want it when somone goes to the site, the while site opens, there are transition effects, and three different movies open at three different spots on the site...just like it happens at www.void.com when you enter their site, they got the main window, and the botton right and left windows!
I have a program that plays an FLV using netStream and has cue points embedded which trigger the loading of external graphics. If the code for loading the external graphics is commented out the video plays normally. However, if the code to load the external graphics is left in, each time a graphic is loaded the video appears to stop and start. FYI, I built the program using a FLVplayback instance on stage and there is no glitch when the images load, but I have a lot of other things built using the nestStream class so I'd prefer to do it that way.
I have been searching on how to do this but I haven't found anything that I can use yet. I have a flash template that has about 6 different flash files. There is a menu on the right side that allows you to call the other files like this.
I've devised a preloader using the ui loader and progress bar components in flash cs3. The goal being to load an external .swf into the uiloader and that has been achieved. I'm having problems with the scaling now. In my code I have set the content scaling to "true" and that isn't supposed to cause distortion of any type but it does. It squishes my external .swf in width wise.
HTML Code: var imageURL:String = "portfolio.swf"; var imageURLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL) uiLoader.scaleContent = true; uiLoader.load(imageURLRequest); progressBar.source = uiLoader; [Code] .....
Weirdness today while trying to get Flash to load some external content (PHP, XML and images). It works fine in everything except Firefox on a PC (Even in IE! What a world! But I digress...). I've got a SWF that loads an external PHP file, along with an external XML file, which in turn references external images to be loaded. When I look at the Net panel in Firebug, it's showing that the SWF is loading, but none of the other external files are getting pulled. Anybody know why? If you want to check it out, the page is here: [URL] I'm also using SWFObject
Is there a way to immediately terminate the loading on an external swf and the loading of that external swf's dynamic content? I've tried the code below in the parent swf, but no success. The external swf's dynamic content continues to load.

I'm having a "problem" with loading an external .swf in my main flash swf movie (which is a website). When the external .swf loads and displays itself on the main swf (website), the complete external swf file is viewable. To clarify: this external .swf has a world map that moves with a tween. If the animation is played within the main swf, I can see the whole world map and not just only that specific part of the world map that is visible on the "original" .swf
Make a mask over the complete external.swf? Where should i make the mask in the external .swf itself or on the movieclip in my main swf (website)?
dim background content after loading an external swf into main swf. I was told that a dark movie clip placed over the whole site but under the external swf with alpha set to 50% would work. I need the background content to dim when the external swf is loaded and then go back to normal when exiting that page link. How can this be done thru xml or actionscript?My website is an xml flash template that loads the text and pictures for the site Thru xml file. Anyone have sample code? I am newbie to actionscript.
I am working on a listbox(flash component), where upon click, will display other arrays in a movie( which is also a listbox made from textfield). The second listbox suppose to contain html links, where it will open up a popup upon clicked. The problem is that whenever I click on the listbox, the content in the sub listbox doesn't change. that is, it doesn't empty the previous load of links, but just add on to the list of links. I am not sure what I can use to prevent this issue. I have tried listener, and "if else" statements.. I've include the codes for the 2nd listbox (the textfield listbox).
Code: var ListListen:Object = new Object(); ListListen.change = function(pEvent:Object) { var selectItem:Object = pEvent.target.selectedItem; var b :Object = pEvent.target.selectedIndex; sampleList =_root.sampleMovie.Slist [Code] .....
At my site [URL] I have PHP/MySQL talking to flash, when the holder movie opens it loads my home.swf into the content movie clip... It works fine once but if you click the home button (which runs the same function) or refresh the page it blanks out the text field and won't reload the content.
Code: stop(); goHome(); function goHome() { _root.background_mc.gotoAndStop(1); _root.holder_mc.loadMovie("home.swf"); [Code] .....
I have a menu whee you can choose a picture to lead, works great with first selection, but when you choose a different picture it loads over the last picture,I want to substitute the content of that movie clip not to load all the pictures in the same space. I treid to use clear() and removeChild(), but this only works when I choose pic1 then remove that to load pic2, is there an easy way to substitute the content for the new content?
Some Time movie is not loading even refresh. It uses ExternalInterface to post/get some events. Where I need to verify. It is very urgent. Is any work around.
I have google everywhere ..no real solution (or one which i could grasp). How can I stop the background swf from not loading up after index .html is refeshed.
My site is [URL]. It has an index page to start which then, when clicked, takes you to the flash page. The trouble is that sometimes it doesn't load until the refresh button is pressed.
I want to load a image lets say example [URL] I can get the image to load no problem in flash. I also have a timeline so it will go to 10 frames and start over. My problem is it keeps loading the old image.png file untill I refresh my browser. Is there a way every time Uiloader is displayed in flash it dosnt like cache the image without refreshing the page.
I created a flash that's loading dynamic text from an external txt file. It's ON AIR flash that you can see on top right on [URL]
Now the thing is that I WANT THIS TXT CONTENT TO REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY... because I am actually loading txt file that's getting updated every few minutes, but flash content does not update, so the visitor must refresh page on go to some other page so the content will change again.
How do I make this work so that dynamic text in flash change whenever external txt file content change, without refreshing or changing the page.

XML_var = new XML(); // now load up the url. XML_var.load("http://www.lick.fm/tracklist.xml"); // when xml is loaded call functon displayXML
[Code].....
This ascript reads an external xml file and picks up the tracklist names for current playing and previous playing songs on my radio station website. It works and looks perfectly fine but i need this to refresh every 30 seconds to read the dynamic xml file and update flash.
How I can reload/refresh contents that have been loaded by an external XML file. I have a XML file that has more than one parent node. When I click on a arrow button(to go to the next one) it does not reload or refresh the thumbnails.
