ActionScript 2.0 :: Totalframes Of External Swf
Jan 25, 2006
Is there a way to get the total frames and current frame of an externally loaded swf? The code I am using below does not work. My _root timeline has three objects: two dynamic text boxes and a container clip. Their instance names are myText_text, myText2_text, and loader_mc, respectively. I have two variables, "i" and "j", which populate myText_text.text and myText2_text.text, respectively.The problem is that the values display "1" because they are getting the value of the container clip and not the movie loaded into the container clip. I need the _totalframes and _currentframe properties of the externally loaded clip, not the container clip. My code below doesn't work. Any ideas?[code]

I want to create a kind of "video player" that will allow me to move a playhead accross all theses SWF that are playing back to back. What I need to do is get the totalFrames of all these swf objects that are to be loaded. I tried loading each SWF (using the Loader class ofcoarse) and on the COMPLETE event grab the totalFrames and then move to the next SWF to populate an array that will be used to create a UI piece. The problem is that it starts playing the swf once it load and you can hear the background sound of each SWF. It also slows the program down. Is there anyway of grabbing the totalFrame property from external SWF's without actually having to load each SWF?

I have a program where I am supposed to first load a swf in the first frame (i will not know how long that swf is), and when that has finished playing the main program i supposed to move on to the next frame. Now my question is, can I somehow figure out how long that swf is from within my main program or will I have to put a simple _root.gotoAndPlay(2); in the last frame of my loaded swf?

I know you can evaluate the total frames of an entire movie (read: swf) with _totalframes.
I know you can evaluate the total frames of an mc with instancename._totalframes.
how to evaluate the totalframes of a single scene within a movie?
scenename._totalframes does not seem to work

Good to see Flash Kit forum lasting a long time. It's been some time since I was last here. Just upgraded to CS5.5 from Flash 8 and having difficulty migrating a counter to ASC3. Managed to rebuild my other time line controller buttons. The counter is ASC1 and inside a movie clip Total Timeï In the clip are 2 dynamic/variables text boxes. min0 and sec0ï They output minutes and seconds as 2 figures. 00 : 00. With a colon graphic in-between. It takes the old _root._totalframes count then produces the times.

Recently I got trouble with totalFrames attribute of MovieClip object, this is the case: in Flash CS, I created two movieclips, one has say 10 frames animation, another one, I drag the first MC in to it, then the second MC has only one frame in it's own time line, right? Then I export them as SWC file to include them in my project. Here's the problem, when I'm trying to get total frame number of these to MC like below, I just get to actual number of frames in the second MC:
[Code]...
So my question is, is there any way to get the actual number of frame for those MovieClip resource like the second one, without visiting any sub-movieclips in it

I have a peculiar problem with a swf published from Captivate (full motion recording, single slide). I wish to use the swf in another flash movie, and basically want to have things triggered when the movie has finished playing (like going to the next frame, where I plan to embed another swf). After doing some research, I decided to go with a method in which the movie's current frame is compared with the movie's total number of frames. To my surprise, the trigger occurs after only one second. Tracing the MovieClip(myLoader.content).currentFrame and MovieClip(myLoader.content).totalFrames reveals that the first one stops at 32, and the second one returns also 32 (according to captivate, it has 1411 frames). Yet the movie keeps playing.
I'm guessing that I'm referencing the wrong "currentFrame" and "totalFrames", but am completely lost as to why it's not working like it should.

detecting the totalFrames of content loaded into a Loader?
I made a dummy animation just for testing (150 frames of text just tweening across the screen) to load. I load that in and when it's loaded I'm always told it's only 2 frames long.
e.g.:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code].....
I just wrote that by hand now as an example so there might be a typo here or there but you get the general idea. I'm using CS5, flash player 10, just testing the movie and every time it traces 2 total frames. how to tell how many frames the loaded content actually has?

i have an array containing 4 mc:
Code:
private var notesDefinition:Array = [Note1, Note2, Note3, Note4];
When faceMc moves (while dragging or as a mouse trail), points are created dinamically every 200px and one of the array�s mclips is added there in a random function. Now i need to remove that mc when it reaches its last frame (just the mc on stage, not remove from the array). I tryed the following but its not working.
Code:
private function drawingAPI(event:Event):void{
var addNewNote:Boolean = false;
//add first point

I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

How do you load external library objects from an external swf? I want to have an external swf that only contains library objects that are exported for Actionscript, and load these from the master .swf file dynamically during the master swf execution. (I may have multiple external swf resource files)I want to be able to load the external swf, and then access it's library objects via actionscript in my main swf file.

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.
