ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload Of Remote Swfs Not Allowed?
Jan 25, 2003
im working on a preloader for it. i have a 5.5mb file on a remote server which i link to to test my preloader. when i preview the fla, it works fine. but when i publish and upload to my server, it doesnt work right. it keeps 0 of 0 on the screen. im pretty sure flash can load remote swfs using loadMovieNum() so im reallly not understanding why the preloading works fine in test movie, but doesnt work in my browser. the fla is attached, and you can see the preloader

i'm trying to preload 5 external swfs into an MC outside the stage area, one right after the other, and when one is finished loading into that clip, the next one replaces that one and starts loading in that same MC. that way they will all already have been preloaded once they are needed by the user. the main thing is that once a swf is finished loading, it needs to be removed and the new one take it's place and start loading. (i've noticed that having multiple external swfs on the stage at the same time slows down the main movie.)
currently, each external swf has a preloader and some code that tells it to check if the movie has been preloaded or not. if it's already preloaded, it skips the preloader and goes right to the start of the movie. if it hasn't been preloaded, it goes through the preloader sequence. my hope is that by preloading all the swfs before off the stage, when they are needed no preloaders will have to be shown, the swfs would just start.
right now the way i'm doing it is that on the five nav buttons, i have on release code that tells it to load the needed external swf (external1.swf) on the viewable stage on maincontainer_mc, and to load the next one (external2.swf) on outsidecontainer_mc, which is off the stage. then when the user clicks the next button, that one has on release code that tells it to load external2.swf on maincontainer_mc (which was preloaded earlier) and to simultaneously load external3.swf on the unseen MC.
this works great, but while the user is reading the content on the first swf, other swfs could be getting preloaded in the background instead of just one at a time how i'm doing it now.
does anyone know of a way to load a swf and unload it when it's finished loading, and then load the next one in line, etc. on the same mc?

I have my main flash file set up so on click of a nav button, an external swf file loads onto my main swf. Now, all i want to do is have a % pre-loader appear before these files land. I am confused about where to place the pre-loader (on the main file or the external swf) and does anybody have an easy way of making a pre-loader with just a %?
here is my code from my main file that calls my swf's
stop();
import caurina.transitions.*;
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 0;

Is there a way to force external SWFs to Preload
I have a main movie that uses a transition to load the external SWFs - You click the nav button it sets a variable and triggers the tranny to play. While the screen is completly covered loadMovie puts the propper SWF into place
I have a few SWFs that are just over one meg which is enough to keep them from showing up untill just after the screen is uncovered.
I'd like to preload all of the external files before the user gets to click and ruin the illusion - Is there any way to include them in the initial preload sequence or something?

I have several SWFs built and ready for playback in a container SWF with volume controls, and next/previous/pause/play/stop controls (a-la a DVD player or VCR). This particular project is a product demo, with different scenes that you can navigate through using the on-screen "remote" or just let it play through. I need to know how to preload all of the external SWFs in one shot. I don't want to load them as the demo plays, or when they're needed. It's fairly critical that they all be loaded during one preloader sequence so that they can play seamlessly between eachother.

I have a swf one one server that is pulling content from an Amazon S3 server. I have set up, for now, a generic cross-domain policy to allow all domains access:[code]These seem to be playing nicely (for the most part) as my swf is loading json, xml, etc. files from the S3 server just fine now. What it's not doing right is loading swfs from the S3 server, when it tries to do that it throws this exception:[code]I assume this is because remote swfs could contain malicious executable code. Do I actually need to set the allowDomain to something or is there some other 'more correct' way of allowing my swf to load up other remote swfs?

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.

Im trying to make a dynamic site banner that will load in swfs detailed in a XML file. I think the best way is to load them in separate MCs and then start the first one one it has preloaded then move to the next to preload and once the first swf has finished a piece of code tells the _root timeline to play the next... and so on.
I have got it so the container swf loads in the swfs but the preloader is not quite working and I have no idea how to get this sequential thing working especially with next/pev buttons. Currently it seems that the loader is not quite working with the first file and all files are loading in at once. I need the player to wait and load sequentially.
Following is my code and attached are the files. Please help and much appreciated.
Code:
stop();

Flash CS4 using AS 2.0 for this.
Here's a simple problem I am having. I have a website made up from multiple swfs. Which open up over the index swf.
What I need to do is load 4 swf files into the memory so the transition between the page loads is smooth. The swfs are only a few kb in size but the delay in loading these (1 second) makes the transitions look very untidy. Once i've clicked on every section then the flashplayer has them stored in the cache so they run smooth, is there anyway just to load these in before the start page has loaded.
here is the website [URL]

I have made a presentation in flash AS2. I have a main.swf and 14external .swf files and each has its own preloader.
I want that when main.swf plays, the external swf should starts preloading sequentially so that the presentation will run smoothly.

I've got a Flash file that displays a series of .swfs one after the other and I'm trying to figure out how to encorporate a preloader into this script that takes into account the fact that I'm randomly selecting which of those .swfs to display first.
Here's what the attached script does so far:
1. Call external XML file and put .swf path names into an array.
2. Randomly select one of those .swfs to display first.
3. Once that .swf movie has played through (each one is about 6 seconds long) --OR-- if the "next" button is clicked, load the next .swf file.
4. When we've reached the last .swf file in the list, start back at the beginning of the list.
I have looked at a BUNCH of preloader scripts but just haven't grasped actionscript enough to know how to encorporate them into my file.

I'm dynamically creating an instance of a textField into my "stage" as a input text.

I use a free web host for a site but they don't allow uploading of mp3 files (they filter and block them)
I want to offer visitors a choice of background music that would have to be streamed or loadMovied'ed as mp3 files, here lies the problem.
I thought a work-a-round would be to have a small empty movie off stage that contained the swf music file but I then thought that someone might have a more elegant solution.
When you use loadMovie to download a swf file into a parent movieclip, what's the best way of initially filling the parent movie BEFORE anything is downloaded, assume you use attatchMovie - is this correct ?

I have a site on which I need to have multiple videos.
The way I have it set up is that there are two frames, one for each video, each with an instance of FLVPlayback on it. For some reason, only the last one that I designate will work.
I have tried the following:
-Importing both videos separately onto their frames
-Copying an instance of FLVPlayback from the working frame and pasting it on the other, only changing the variable that tells it where to get the FLV from
Yes, the videos are both linking to the right place, in the FLA I can see that each parameter points to the correct video, but whichever one I do last is the only one that will work. The other video won't even come up with a dead player, the screen is simply blank. No visible instance of the FLVPlayback box, no sign of the control (I am using ClearExternalAll).

I am currently working on a simple program that when the user clicks a button it adds 1 to a textbox for whatever button has been pressed. For example they click a heads button it puts 1 into the box, they click 1 in the tails button and it displays another 1 in the the box. What I am having a problem with is that once the total number of clicks has been done (15) I want it to stop and not allow anymore clicks.
Here is my code so far:
btn_Heads.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, runHeads);
btn_Tails.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, runTails);
btn_Clear.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clearData);
var coinArray:Array = new Array();
var headsTotal:int=0;var tailsTotal:int=0;
var counter:int=0;
[Code] .....
The code runs all and well but when the total value reaches 15 I want it to stop and not allow anymore clicks.I was trying a for loop. Basically all I need it to do is that the Box's that are getting numbers put in them I need the total 1 to stop at 15 and not allow anymore changes.
