ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To Load An External .swf File Into A Blank Movie Clip?
Jan 28, 2003
1)I was able to load an external .swf file into a blank movie clip (A TARGET CLIP WHICH I CREATED using createEmptyMovieClip) 2)Also by placing a button on the stage I was able to remove the movie clip
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL MY CODE IN THE FIRST FRAME. I would like to Remove the Movie without putting the code on the button. But it didn't work.
In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.
I have been trying to get sIFR 3 rev.436 working on my site but I stuck at publishing the movie. I did everything the instruction had told me to but when I published the movie and double clicked it to test, it failed, the movie was blank with the following error. Someone said the Action Scripts should be in the same folder as the sifr.fla, it was but it didn't help at all.
Scene=Scene 1, layer=code, frame=1, Line 19
The class or interface 'sIFR' could not be loaded.I was puzzled and after hours of looping in the situation I downloaded rev.432 and tested it out. To my delight, everything turned out right and I published the movie successfully!
I'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.
if it is possible to load a movie clip into a blank movie clip?On my main timeline I have a button (mode_btn) and I want to be able to click it and load another movie clip (mode_options_mc) into a blank movie clip I have (mode_empty_mc). Is this even possible?
I have a movie clip called - contenct_mc ----------------inside this movie clip I have another movie clip called - Introduction_mc ------inside this mvovie clip There is another movie clip called - Footer_mc -------inside this movie clip on actions layer I have copied the below code to show clock.swf file....but the following code doesn't work
CODE:I am using Flash CS4 AS3
var R:Loader=new Loader();addChild(R); R.load(new URLRequest("clock.swf"));R.x = 540;R.y = 205; R.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, RgrowLoader); function RgrowLoader(evt:Event):void { R.width = 200; R.height = 200;}
I work with Flash Pro allmost 11 hours per day and every while i get a error which messes up everything. Approximetly i get this after about 2-3 hours withevery project.After i get this error there is no chance to test movies afterwards.I see a fast flash of the loader window but it dissapears so fast i cant even really see if it is loader.
is there any way of replacing a blank clip with an external image. I'm looking to place them in a certain position on my site, but I want to keep the main SWF at a small size.
I am trying to load an external swf into a movie clip.Within my index.swf file I have a button that when released loads another swf into a movie clip within the index.swf. I have done this before and have no idea why it is not working. When I publish the movie I get no error reports.Here is the script:
I have an xml photo gallery which i'd like to embed in one of the tabs of my sites. I've tried to do this by loading the external .swf file into a movie clip which i called empty_mc, using the following code
ActionScript Code: var empty_mc:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(empty_mc); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main.swf"); empty_mc.load(url);
When I load the .swf on its own, the photo gallery works fine, yet when I try to load the swf via the movieclip, it gives the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at main()
(All of the relevant files are in the same folder)
I am trying to get the text to display on this buttonn which is actualy a movie clip I want the text to load from a text file so each button has a varible name button1 button2I have this on the first frameloadVariablesNum("text.txt", 0);and then in the text file I havebutton1=Ops&button2=Toolsif i put a text box over the button it will display fine but the button looses its function near the text box as i have put the text box in a layer above the button
Im trying to load an external SWF on to a parent SWF with AS3... When I'm editing the code I get no errors, but when I test the movie I get this error.[code]...
The file I'm trying to load is called PhotoViewer.swf... But that file physically has nothing on the stage all it has is in the publish settings, at the action script settings in document class it says PhotoViewer, a .as file which I have... Its like a gallery and it uses an XML file... I want to be able to switch back and forth between 2 "Photoviewers" loaded by the buttons, only displaying one at a time. So I wonder if this affects the loading of the SWF or my code is just bad...[code]...
I am creating an ad for my website that pulls 3 random images from a database and displays them in a flash file. I already have the .php file (see code below) and I am successfully able to load the variables into the actionscript, but I cant get the images to show up. I have three symbols (img0, img1 & img2) and I cant seem to load the image onto the symbols using loadMovie. [code]...
I want to know if and how I can use a movie clip to give the coordinates to load an external swf in an exact location, through an xml file?What I have is an xml menu and instead of opening web pages, I want to load external swf files in the same swf, where the menu is located, the thing is I don't know how to give the coordinates in the target of the xml file, and I want to know if and how I can use a movieclip to do this, such as _parent.mc.loader.
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?
I want to build a nested movie clip which has 5-6 .jpg files which I want to load externally and then dissolve them at the transition time. So eventually I would also be having a timer to start the playback. I do not know how to get it going...... Just want the images to load through a loader, dissolve between them, timer to start the playback and at the end the movie goes back to the main time line. Just let me know where is the starting point for me and how do I address this issue.
I have a flash movie clip and need to load an external image inside the clip that reference to an external URL.. like URL i did something with XML but the image persist on every clip because it loads from actionscript using the x and y cords.
I am trying to load an external image into a movie clip that is already on the Stage and size it to the movie clips size. The movie clip name is member_gallery with the width of 360 and the height of 251. One of the images i am trying to load into it is 1024 * 768. I would also like to load other images of different sizes into the same movie clip and they all change to 360 * 251 when loaded.
how would i go about using a draw code(Code that allows users to draw within the flash) and restricting it to a certain size and location on the movie? for instance a 75x75 box located at xPos=200 and yPos = 150?
Like would I have to use a blank movie clip for the position? then make an invisible box within it to restrict drawing area?
Making a photo slide show to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed . Here is a link to the .swf file:[URL]..Basic problem: There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear!
I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other.
When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.
I am loading an swf file in a movie clip.After loading the swf file,when i try to trace the width of movieclip. i am getting the width as zero.why it is like that.actually the movieclip contain swf file.
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 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.
