I have a main movie with a dynamically created menu (uses data gathered from an XML file). Each menu item has an Action and Variables associated with this action.
Now as you can see from my XML file above one of my menu options is a photo gallery. What I would like to to is have one swf, i.e. photoGallery.swf, and load this into an empty movie clip called content_mc and pass it different XML files (same format, but different content). (see my loadSlideShow() function)
how to pass data between 2 swfs better way then LocalConnection.I tried Localconnection but it seems slow and unreliable.id did test passing array 5000 items 200k bites in total I sent row by row (on success sent next row).it took me 90 sec to pass data from one swf to another and it failed on second attempt.Is any other way to establish bridge between 2 stand alone swfs?
Basically I created a simple mp3 player, and there are multiple copies of that embedded in a page. Now when I play one, I want all the others to pause.. is it possible to do n-way localconnection? or is there a better alternative?
I am trying to prevent users from viewing my site and then simply going into their "temporary internet files" and stealing my swfs and XML files. I have been using a great .PHP code to stop this but now I am working on a server server that only uses .aspx files. Does anybody know of a way that I can stop files from being stored in the "temporary internet files" folder. I have encrypted the files but this is not good enough.
I needed to break it in smaller pieces because it is a large file (over 300 mb) and every time I wanted to publish the entire project flash crashed.
Here is my test: I have two exe files that should link back and forth. Intro_YIM.exe, which has a button that links to Videos_FrontPage_YIM.exe Here is my code, which is in Intro (button name= nav_4).
[code]...
Problem: The link seems to work, but there is a message that says save or run. When I click run, there is another message that says the file can't be open.
Questions:
1. Is there a better way to handle links using executable files using Flash CS5 and AS3?
2. If swfs were used, how can I have a main page displaying all other swfs as they are linked?

is it possible to loas as3 swfs with loadMovie into as2 swf and keep them working? i have a whole as2 swf website and i want to embedd an as3 flv player....
I made a drawing in Illustrator and exported it as FXG file to be used in my Flex App which is working fine. But now I want to change some settings inside FXG programatically, namely changing color inside the FXG file. How do I do that?
In the Flash app I'm building, I have a "main" SWF that will load a variety of "child" SWFs.
All of the AS3 code for both the main SWF and child SWFs is contained in external .as class files.
In other words, each movie has it's own document class .as file.
There are also a number of .as class files for all of the common elements (e..g, UI buttons and controls).
So - for example - both my main SWF and all child SWFs use the "MyCommandButton" class; the code for this class is in MyCommandButton.as, which all SWFs reference (import).
Here's what I don't understand.
(Let's say that the code in MyCommandButton.as draws buttons that are red.)
First, I compile ALL of the child SWFs.
Next, I change MyCommandButton.as, so that the buttons it draws are blue, instead of red.
Then, I compile the main SWF.
When I run the app (main.swf), I would expect all of the buttons in the main SWF to be blue (since that's what MyCommandButton.as specified when main.swf was compiled), and all of the buttons in the child SWFs will be red (since that's what MyCommandButton.as specified when they were compiled.)
Instead, ALL of the buttons are blue, which means the change I made to MyCommandButton.as affected all of the child SWFs, even though I didn't recompile them.
I have this situation (simplified): MC-A.swf opened from local computer (C:/) and loads MC-B.swf which is hosted on a server. When MC-B.swf is loaded, it tries to access file called "loader.swf" which is also on local computer (C:/).
When it tries to access the "loader.swf" I get the following error message: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** Connection to file:///C|/loading.swf halted - not permitted from [URL] -- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
I read discussions concerning this issue, and as I understood, I could use: System.security.allowDomain("[URL]"); to solve this problem, but it didn't work. I wouldn't like to change the loaded file to load it's resources also from the web, since it can find them on the local machine.
The problem is class files being cached in external swfs when they are loaded into another swf. (as2-cs3). In a nutshell, we've got a clip on the stage that is linked to a class. You can make changes to the class, pub the swf and everything works fine. When we then load that swf into our application swf, the changes are all lost, and it "reverts back" to a previous version of the class.

How to pass or get variables through AS3 and Batch files?
Actually My main app is in Flash CS5. I want to search root folder (Which is not possible only with AS3 alone) for number of directories and pass them to a batch file.
I have movie file named master.swf (main Movie)it loads main_banner.swfmain_banner.swf has few buttons. when you click on one master.swf go to frame and loads product.swf (till this part eavery thing works fine)Now this part is not workingwhen I click on a button in main_banner.swf I want to assign a variable with another movieclip name Eg: _global.pro = "products/perma_core_1.swf";when product.swf loads it should plays above said swf file (perma_core_1.swf) by using this action pro_ct.loadMovie(_global.product);
I'm trying to pass a random string to multipe swf files using SWFObject 2.0 I'm able to pass the string to one file, but it wont pass to any other object (even if i remove the object that it works on, the string wont pass to the others )
I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf
I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
I am trying to find a way to preload swfs while other swfs are playing, i've found several scripts and tutorials, but none of them seem to work for my needs.
Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?
I'm having to pass data (originally read via an XML file loaded by the parent class) to a child class upon instantiation, and I can't decide which is the better method.I could parse the XML in the parent and throw the data into an Object and pass that object to the child class....or just pass the part it needs as an XMLList and let the child class do the parsing.Seems like a trivial decision, yes, but I'm not sure of longer-term implications.
Trying to pass a variable as well and cant seem to escape to pass it. How can I pass using window.open as such: Trying to pass (pid) all i get back is (pid) and not actual pid.How to on a jscommand?
Code: something.onRelease = function () { var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.someform.php?proj= + (pid)','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); }
I can do a standard getUrl("http://www.someform.php?proj=" + (pid), "_blank"); works fine but no control over window properties.
[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.
I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.
I am loading multiple .swfs into multiple .swfs, but the .swf are never being properly unloaded. I thought they were unloading until I started monitoring my Page File Usage and seeing it increase everytime I loaded another external swf.
In using this function to load my content, what would be the proper way/function to unload the content?
