what would i have to do to prevent "submenu.swf" to reload when it's already loaded. this is the as i use:
on (rollOver) {
if(this.content == Number(this.content)){
loadMovieNum("submenu.swf",this.content);
} else {
this.content.loadMovie("submenu.swf");
}
}
would like to prevent my flash navigation banner from going through the entire animation when someone loads secondary pages. framework is at [URL] at the moment. Basically, want the flash to NOT replay (but still maintain the flashy buttons) when the secondary pages are loaded.... does this need to be done at the button level, or at the top level?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading in a .swf file using loadMovie(), but the .swf being loaded has a fscommand("fullscreen", true); command on it's first frame and it's forcing my main file to launch fullscreen too.
I don't have the original file so I can't remove the fullscreen command.
I'm having trouble with a button script my client has asked me to create. I need to put together a script to detect if a specific movie clip "port_fade.swf" has already been loaded and into a container and if so don't reload it. This clip has to load on a on(release) function. I have 8 buttons and depending on which button a visitor clicks on I need the clip to load. I don't want to have it reload every time a button is clicked.
I found this code but it doesn't seem to work.
function loadExternalSwf() {
if (containerFade.thisID == "port_fade.swf") {
trace("Content already loaded - Don't do anything.");
} else {
mcl.loadClip("port_fade.swf", containerFade);

How to NOT make Flash reload an already loaded movieclip from the navigationbar/buttons when clicked on. [code]...
View 3 RepliesI am interested in designing a web-site with the primary purpose of displaying various poems and songs I've written over the years. The premise is simple: I need some actionscript which will detect the number and names of text files in a certain directory, and randomly pick one of them, then load it into a text field and format it with CSS. The user should simply have to reload their browser to get another randomly loaded poem. I've only taken one Flash class (very light on AS) and not at all knowledgeable on making 'universal AS' and usually hard-code everything. My apologies if something similar has been asked before..
View 14 RepliesI'm able to control the loaded swf with play and pause buttons. I have another question, and that's how to prevent the loaded swf from looping. I'd like the loaded swf to play to it's last frame and stop I have the following code and it works with an error. I'm assuming the error is coming up because the function is executing before the swf is fully loaded.
var myLoader = new Loader();var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("box.swf");myLoader.load(myURL);addChild(myLoader);
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,

Tell me how to reload the movie itself, same like we embed a swf file on a web page, click browser's reload button so the flash movie reset to its original state?
But I want to do this from within the movie, when user click "reset" button, all the previous created instances will be released from memory. I can delete each object manually, but lots of work involved, also not sure if the resources are really free.
I want to load an external swf movie into the parent one using for example the UILoader component and I want it to have access only to one object of the parent (the main swf movie). I tried sth like my_uiloader.content.parent = null, but obviously it doesn't work as the parent property is read-only.

View 4 RepliesI have a menu nav that loads swfs into a container clip. Once the swf loads, the menu nav unloads and is replaced by a page-specific nav. If the user clicks on the menu button, the page-specific nav is unloaded and replaced by the menu nav. ...this is to toggle back and forth between the two nav menus, as I'm sure you've noticed
Once a swf has loaded and if the user loads the menu nav, the option to load the same swf (current swf) appears. Rather than reload the current swf, is there anyway I can have the button check if that specific swf is already loaded and if so, not load it again?[code]...

I have an aspx page with a flash movie (gallery) that calls another aspx page which gets the info form a database and returns XML that the movie uses to populate the gallery with. Currently I have it use a query string that is passed through the flashvars so it will get the right info on post back. Is there a way I can reload the movie and pass the variable into flash without a postback? For instance the page doesn't reload, just the flash with the correct set of images.This is the JS used for the movie:
Code:
Select all<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};

Does this command exist? I can't seem to find it. I want to basically reload a movie clip on command, and I'm debating taking that part and putting it into an external .SWF file and unloading and reloading it, but that seems silly..
View 5 RepliesI've been making a game and want it so you can play again - when I try and send it back to frame 1 (it's preloader) it doesn't really work. I was wondering if there was a way of basically refreshing or reloading the whole swf file?
View 3 RepliesI'm working with SWFObject 2.2 using the expressInstall.swf that comes with the package.I understand that the swf is loading in another swf from an adobe server which is the actual express install.My problem is that when it loads, it loads at a larger dimension than I can handle and causes my flash to wrap onto another line and makes the site terribly ugly.how to prevent the dimensions from growing once the express install is loaded?(btw, no matter what dimension I change the expressInstall.swf to, it always becomes something bigger than I can have on the screen)
View 2 RepliesI have two SWFs: a Loader SWF, and a Loaded SWF. I need to add the Loaded SWF to the display hierarchy, but I don't want to give it free access to the stage. It may, for instance, attempt to change the scaleMode, and I don't want that to happen. What are some good methods for restricting loaded content's access to the stage? I may, for instance, want to allow it to access the stageWidth and stageHeight, but not the scaleMode or align.
Additional Constraints. I can't change anything about the Loaded SWF. Both SWFs are in the local-with-file-system sandbox. These SWFs are both Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3, made in Flash Professional. Not AIR, not Flex. I'd love to be able to implement a proxy class or a getter to somehow intercept calls to the stage, but I don't believe there is any way to.
I don't believe, for example, that you can subclass the Stage class and use that subclass in place of the normal Stage object referenced by the stage property in all MovieClips. The stage property is read-only, so it can't be cross-scripted by the Loader to point to something different.
I believe this can be done using share objects but, have search and search and i cant find a concrete or simple answer to follow.
I have use this and does not look good when viewing image on laptop (768 as height)
What i am looking to do is create 5 pages with the same flash header. Links will be below the movie. When people click on the links a new page opens (same window) without reloading the flash file.
I think i need a code to put in my first frame to store a cookie but cant find the code.
Im trying to make it so that when the swf is refreshed/reloaded, it resumes on the frame that it left off on, not restart.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to get a random swf to appear on a page (5 movies possible).How can I code this in AS3?
View 7 RepliesI'm a newbie at programming and had performed serveral search on the net without much useful results. For all you programmer guru out there, please lend me a hand if you can.I am using flash version 5.0. I have 7 flash movie files within one working flash file and only 4 movie files gets display on an HTML page at a time. I need a script that will randomize the appearance of the movie files each time the browser gets refresh. But the script should only randomize 2 of the 4 movie files.
So for example, say I have movie files named 1 to 7. On browser load, I have movie file, 1,2,3 and 4 displayed. Now when a user refresh browser, I want movie file, 1 and 4 to be replaced by either movie file 5,6, or 7 (ie. random diplay of file).This might sounds confusing or I might not be explaining it well, but if you go to www.standpipe.com you will see what I mean. Look at the Case studies section, there are 4 movie files being displayed.
I am creating a web page that allows users to upload their own swf files to my web page, which are then used by the main web page as components. This creates a security issue though because I don't want the uploaded swf files to access other files on the server.
when the main webpage starts, it loads whatever third party swf files the user specifies. Is there a way for my main web page to change the security settings of the loaded swf so that the loaded swf is treated like it was loaded from another domain? Or is there another way I can provent these uploaded swfs from accessing local files on the server.
On the new site we are working on, it has Flash and HTML. The problem is when you click on the navigation buttons(which are flash) they should load a new external movie and open the new HTML page at the top. When you publish the file and click on the buttons, the HTML page loads, but flash seems to reload and play the same external movie the whole time. Here is the code I used:

I don't want to resort to frames so I'm wondering if this is possible. I have an expanding menu on a php page, when user clicks on one of the menu items and the page reloads, the flash movie gets reload as well. I would like to keep it open to where it was, even if it reloads.
I'm using a modified version of Senoculars accordion menu and I thought the best way would be to pass a variable to the flash movie that tells it which menu the user clicked and so expand that menu.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to prevent the mouse being able to roll over a movie clip?
View 1 RepliesI'm a newbie at Flash, so started playing with a pretty standard code sample: one layer contains a movie clip with a flying rectangle, another layer has a button to control it. All script code is in Main.as file. The rectangle was named square1 through the Property window. Here is the problem: the constructor for Main has a line: square1.stop(); to prevent clip from playing, but it doesn't help - it plays. I know the constructor fires, because it has trace("stuff") in it. The code does check that the stage has been created.
What strange is that square1.currentFrame always returns 1, and square1.totalFrames returns 1 as well. The layer has 24 frames on the timeline. I tried a tween with just 2 keyframes, then converted whole tween into frames - same result. I mean, the thing is flying before my eyes, how can it be 1 frame???
I even added a listener: square1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrameChange); The event fires all the time, i.e. the frames change, but currentFrame is still 1. Also, tried to name individual frames and use square1.gotoAndStop("begin") and stuff like that. I am really stuck with this stupid problem.
On my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?
