ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To Load Advanced External Swf (if MC Is Empty Code)?
Feb 8, 2005
I have on the last frame of my external swf code like this:
unloadMovie(this);
//
I think this should unload my external swf from my main movie
And now in my main movie I want to check if my container is empty.. if it is.. let's go to some other frame..
if (container == 0) {
main.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
//
I was just hoping that this code checks if the container is empy.. and sends the main movie to frame 2 ..

I'm working on a site for a friend's art gallery.I have a dynamic html file I'm using to list an archive of shows so that it can be easily updated by the curator.Is it possible to code a link in the externally loaded xml file that will tell my flash movie to load an external swf into an empty mc on the root? is there a way to:
create a variable in AS that when added to the xml file, triggers something like loadMovie("g_0306.swf", "_root.empty"); ?

In AS2 I would normally create an empty MovieClip, give it an instance name and then in the actions I would make the linkage with emptyMC_mc.loadMovieClip("intro.flv");
In AS3 I'm breaking out to figure this out..., I'm making a game and I want the first frame to load an external FLV, then when the FLV is over, go to frame 2 and load another external FLV and then when this second FLV is over, go to frame number 3..

I have a "about.swf" file that loads a CSS file and formats some dynamic HTML text. On its own, it works fine...but when it gets loaded into my "Main.swf", it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a bug that doesn't let you load CSS with external .swf's?My style sheet and index file holding the "Main.swf" are all on the root level of my site. The "Main.swf" has a "holder_mc" clip that I load the "about.swf" into which has the CSS formatting. When loaded into "Main.swf", it doesn't work.

I've loaded an external .swf into a movieclip in my parent .swf using the loadMovie(); function. The file loads perfectly and in the right position, however I can no longer access the functions of the external .swf. When I load the file into a level rather than a movieclip, the functions (buttons and timeline) of the external .swf work properly. Is there any way to use the functions of the external .swf when I load it into an empty movie clip?

im trying to load an external swf into my project the code is simply this:
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
loader.load(new URLRequest("gallery.swf");
I get an error that says the following when i debug it.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.. at gallery_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()Cannot display source code at this location
I have done this same thing before but never gotten this error message, i even tried to load an old swf file and it worked fine.

I am having trouble loading external .swf files. I use the following code for my loader:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code].....
The issue is that the progress reaches 100% but the other file never shows. I also know the progress check is redundant and that the complete event should do the same, but that was one of my attempts at debugging.
The code I gave is a chop-up of the hours-load of tutorials I have been reading, and is just meant to be a test file for me to work with loading external flash files.

I have a problem with buttons and transitions.I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following code:
on (release) {
if (_root.externaltwo._currentframe == 7) {
_root.externaltwo.gotoAndPlay(8);[code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "externalone";[code].....
Obviously a similar code would be placed on button two so the transitions could take place.I am uploading my file so you can see exactly what I am talking about. Also in this file will be a folder containg a version that works but without the buttons moving up and down which is the effect I wish to have

i just recently started programming in flash and so far I have learned a lot, but new questions keep coming up
My problem is that I want to load an external swf in an empty movieclip and then manipulate this loaded swf from my main movie. For example tell it to go to a certain frame. Is such a thing possible?

I have a button when I click on it it is suppose to load an external swf into a empty movie clip. But everytime I clicked it, it juz loops the whole flash animation of this very whole flash the button is currently in which it should actually load the external swf to the empty MC. I can't attack my file here since it is too big.

I'm using AS2 and Flash CS4. I'm having problems loading an external swf correctly. I get it loaded and displayed ok, but not in the correct spot. The movie clip is the same size as swf, and the registration point is in the top left corner. However, each time it loads it ends up in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The script below works when I test the index.swf file in Flash as well as testing the index.html file in Dreamweaver. When I upload the HTML and SWF file to my webhost (Just Host), however, it doesn't load the images!!! Is there another line(s) of code that needs to be added or is there something wrog with the webhost? to reduce the size of my website which is my ultimate goal.
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();my_loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.awoodruffsart.com/img/ab2.jpg"));container1.addChild(my_loader);

I am trying to write a small flash app which will load and display images provided as a query. My flash app works fine when I provide the image path directly in the browser address bar, but it is not working when I do the same using html. Here is the direct link to the flash app: [URL]
Here is the link to the html with which I am trying to invoke the app. [URL]
Here the html code snippet invoking the swf file.
Code: Select all<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash

I know my app is getting invoked and it appears to work fine when I hardcode the image url into the flash app. But the query method just does not seem to be working!

I have an image gallery consisting of thumbnail buttons, which load the external fade in/out files. When the buttons are on the main timeline everything works perfectly, but I wanted them to be scrollable so I placed them within a MC, still on the main timeline, and now the externals wont load the scrolling and button actions are fine.

I have a navigation bar with a series of buttons on it. When you rollover any other these buttons there is and action on them saying :
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on (rollOut) {
[code]....
Now I want to create some AS that when a button is click and disabled and then the user clicks on another button all buttons will reset themselves and play "out" if they were previously clicked (enabled=false)So in the end I am just looking to say "Hey flash if a button 1 is clicked and disbaled and then button 2 is click then button 1 needs to enabled itself and play "out".

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

I went through Claudio's preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([URL]). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can't get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called "content". And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names!

Recently, I found a great little Flash project that acts like a jukebox for external mp3 song files, and am using it on my website to play my song demos.I'm now trying to find if there is an existing solution like that for video. I just need some way to progressively download video files from my webspace when the thumbnail is clicked... and am now looking into some sort of Flash jukebox.
I've tried just embedding the video files into HTML, but they don't progressively download for some reason (even though they are saved as Progressive With Compressed Header). I've even tried using prettyPhoto (...a script that mimics a Lightbox like feature, where the whole page dims, and a floating window appears over your site, displaying any media, and allowing you to move back/forth through your list of media)..... works great, but again, not a progressive download, so you stare at a blank screen for a while.
Seems the only way it works is if I have the file on YouTube or some other site, then embed it or use the prettyPhoto app.So, can someone either tell me how to make the embedded file download (OT, but I figured I'd ask), or point at some existing Flash file that serves as a video jukebox, showing all media on a common window?
