i have a test website here which has externally loaded files coming into the container on the main index page. the code on the buttons at the top right hand corner have this code on each of them for the externally loaded .swf files to come in:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "contact";
container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
[code].....
and that all works perfectly fine. what my problem is is when i click on the "contact" button and i'm on that page. on the left hand side column towards the bottom, i have a block of text with one red word. i want that word to bring in the f.a.q. page (and replace the contact page i'm currently looking at) which can also be accessed from the top nav. just a little thing, but i wanted to learn how to do it.
i've put the same code into the invisible button that says "faq" which is identical to the code listed above except i changed all instances of "_root" to "_parent" but that didn't do it. i think it's something like that that would have to do with the problem.
I know in AS2 I could do this pretty easily .. But am unsure of the syntax approach of AS3.
I want to have a main movie which will load in an external swf, which has AS code in its timeline. Then I wish to access the functions inside this external swf and control them from the 'controller' swf (the main movie).[code]...
I'm current trying to create a slideshow with images loaded externally, and then crossfading between one another.I've achieved how to load the images one after another, but however I'm having problems with achieving a crossfade.Do I need to have 2 seperate image loaders? Because I do not want to have the first image fade out, showing the background for even a minute of a second before the second one fades in.
Another question regarding externally loaded .swf's!
In my externally loaded swf.s are a pause and play button which work perfectly using only:
on(release){yanm.play();}
(yanm being the name of my movie file containing my movie!!) and obviosuly the stop is with a stop!
Now I want to add a 'Mute' button so that the user can turn off the audio. What script would I use for this?
I also want to use a 'Rewind' or 'Restart' button to return to the beginning of my movie and begin playback again. What script would be used instead of .play?
I've loaded an external swf file that containes two links, to another swf file using loadMovie (); I want to add link from the file we've loaded from the container swf file. Is it possible.
You can say that first make the links itself in the file we've externally loaded. But i want to know whether my requeirement is possible in not. Another think is what is the use of third optional argument in the loadMovie (url, target, method);
I have successfully loaded XML data into a SWF file and am able to get values from the XML without much problem. The code works. For example my test productimage[1].toString(); is returning back the correct value from the XML file.My issue is when I load this SWF into another, a preloader, the code no longer works? The preloader is working fine and the rest of the SWF file is loaded in succesffully, even the XML data appears to be working when I run a trace i.e. trace(e.target.data.toString()), but for some reason the individual data values such as productimage are no longer being defined??]code]
basically i want to be able to load different button.swf files, like button1.swf button2.swf etc and assign them a class so the class handles all the default behaviour of the button. This is for skinning purposes. I want to be able to load a button.swf file into my main movie ( the button.swf has no actionscript in it at all, just the graphics ) and then make it an instance of a existing class like for example button.as . the clips are not in the library so i can not specify the class in the linkage properties. It has to be loaded externally.

I need to be able to load a couple of external.swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the tips I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the.swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored.how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but playing to the end.)
this seems so simple but i cant figure out the logic or commands to do it.Q. How would i make a movieclip with a text box inside called FrameRate show the frame rate.To make it easy im just going to put the code on the movieclip itself.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to email my flash file to a large group of people for quick viewing.There are people with all different kinds of software and computers, so I don't want to zip anything.The projector file I made is too big to send out.Does anybody have any suggestions on how to email flash files for quick, simple viewing?
In Flash, I can go into the properties of an image in the library and check 'allow smoothing' to enable resampling when the image is scaled or rotated.
How can I achieve the same effect for images loaded dynamically by the SWF from an external URL?
But when I do this, since the movie is not loaded the file is not compiled and gives me an error your referring to something that is not there. How else am I supposed to reference a content that will be loaded later?
I´m having troubble positioning an externally loaded swf. It simply does not respond to any settings of its x and y values.
The swf I´m loading is a pure as3 project created in FlashDevelop where the main class extends sprite. I´ve even tried modifying the x and y values afterwards using MonsterDebugger but with no luck.
The swf is loaded into a container on the right side of the stage but always end up at the top left corner. The loading is straight forward:
public var targetContainer:Sprite; public function load(path:string):void { loader = new Loader();
I am trying to figure out how to get the actual filename of an external .swf when loaded into another movie clip.
Code: var toTrace:String = getChildAt(0).name; trace(toTrace); That is what I have. It gives me the instance name, which does me no good, because it is a relative instance name. My situation is that I have a few buttons, when clicked they load external .swf into the stage at index 0. I need to know how to reference the currently loaded external file.
I've got a class (which extends MovieClip) that loads in an external SWF (made in pdf2swf). That is added to another class which has declared doubleClickEnabled = true and I'm listening for DOUBLE_CLICK events.Problem is when the SWF is loaded my code picks up no DOUBLE_CLICK events, only CLICK events. I've tried it without adding the SWF to the stage and it does pick up DOUBLE_CLICK events.
class ParentClass{ ... public function ParentClass(){ ... mcToLoadSWF = new MovieClip();
[code]...
I've also tried adding the event listener to the mcToLoadSWF as well. No dice.
in Chrome on Mac and in Chrome, Opera and Safari on PC, it appears to be playing sounds twice, generating an unwanted echo-effect with a rather random delay(always under half a second though).
I have 2 swf-files that communictes through a LocalConnection, the main swf simply calls a function on the second swf and passing a url to an mp3-file as parameter. The second swf then loads the file and onComplete plays it.
This works perfectly on IE(that's a first) and Firefox on both mac and PC but echoes as mentioned above.
I even implemented a double-check to make sure a sound wouldn't play if a sound is already playing.
Some sample code:
var audio:Sound; var isPlayingSound:Boolean = false; var soundURL:String;
I'm have a flash movie where I let the viewer push a button to load an external SWF-which in itself is a video I converted to SWF. Once it loads via an empty movie clip into the main flash movie how can I add video player controls such as volume on the lower part of the stage of the main movie to control the externally loaded SWF?
I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?
There are 100 buttons in my movie clip and a timeline of 10 frames length. If user clicks on button1, the movie clip will play and at the last frame it will redirect to second scene (scene2) and then "on scene2's first frame" "externalscene1.swf" will be loaded. If user clicks on button 5 then on scene2's first frame "externalswf2.swf" will be loaded.
Here the normal code i wrote : //SCENE1 - 1st frame : st1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, a1001e); function a1001e(eeevt:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(root).play(); << I want to assign a variable (the swf name to be loaded) }
//SCENE2 - 1st frame: stop(); var loader3:Loader = new Loader(); loader3.load(new URLRequest("1004.swf")); << I want to load variable.swf and load that swf. addChild(loader3);
I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?
I have a movie that loads images from an external source based on paths contained within an .xml. As far as I can see, there is no restriction to the size of the loaded image, which are are JPEGs, hence flash will not have these images resized. The images look fine when loaded in Photoshop or viewed separately, but the quality is just awful when loaded within the movie.
I've tried the usual hints like increasing JPEG quality in Publish Settings, but understand that since these images are not imporated into Flash CS5 before compiling, but are instead loaded when the .swf is run, these settings would not have any effect.
For example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?

Here's my problem in a nutshell. I have a database (mysql), then i get data from an external php file that connects to the database. I use URLReqest and URLLoader to access the php file.
My question is, when i change data in my database, the change reflects in the php file. But when i access the php file from Flash, it doesn't refresh. I have to make a new php file, then access this new file to get the updated data.
how to be able to create another node which would be a text box just like the caption text seen in the tutorial but could be used to display a url.I tried adding it in but having problems getting it to read the html code that gets loaded from the xml file.heres what the actionscript looks like:
Code: Key.removeListener(listen); function loadXML(loaded) {[code]...
What I'm trying to do is quite simple. Load an image externally, then display it (addChild it) multiple times, in different places, without loading it again and again. (Granted, caching means the image won't be downloaded multiple times, but I'd like to avoid those annoying disk accesses as well.) I know that flash doesn't actually support this. A while ago I was trying this same thing, I dug around for hours, and there was no real solution.
I have SWF files that I load into my flash movie and those SWF files sometimes have mouse events that can interfere with dialogs and buttons in my flash movie. I'd like to temporarily disable the loaded SWFs mouse event handlers or block them from having any effects on my flash movie. My flash movie is AS 2.
I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
