I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 Repliesi have looked everywhere for a tutorial on this - i have tried writing, and re-writing codes....i just cant get it. is there any tutorial i overlooked? here is what im looking to do - NO SHORTCUTS: have my main file that loads the buttons, my external swf container, my intro animations, and my swf "out" and "in" animations when a button is clicked i want it to point me to specific frame labels. i will have an "out" and "in" frame label and which will be the locations of the transitional starting points i want it to play the "out" transition, than unload the current swf, than play the in transition, than load the swf of the button that was clicked i want the animations to all be done using frame labels all within the MAIN swf file.... i have had no luck doing this....and i do NOT like the tween class....

I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I'm trying to unload an external SWF on _root to load a new one instead. I've tried (almost) everything but can't figure it out... I get this error : "Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."

I have a menu set up with several buttons (on the left side of the screen), each of which loads an external swf (on the right side of the screen). Within some of these swfs are more buttons to load other swfs, and the menu on the left remains active while another swfs is playing.What I want is to unload the current swf whenever a button is clicked and load the new on in the same spot. So before I was using addChildAt to get the external swf's at a certain level, and then removeChildAt to take away whichever swf it is and then add the next one. That didn't stop the sound, so I switched it to unloadAndStop and set up a function that unloadAndStops each individual swf, like this:[code]
That function runs every time a new swf is called to remove the previous one.Now I know that's not what I should do since I'm effectively using a method on objects that aren't in the display list, and it's apparent since it messes up the text later on in the timeline. But I don't know any other way to get everything to unload and to stop all the sound. It would be a headache to make specific paths for the buttons within swf's, but I don't even know what I'd do about the buttons in the main timeline that don't know what swf is playing on the right.I've searched lots of different forums for this one, for something kinda like unloadAndStop and kinda like removeChildAt, so I'm thinking I need to reorganize this project somehow
I have a button ( 3 buttons ) and each button is assigned to Load a movie. When you click one of the buttons, the LoadMovie on Level 1 is good. Now here is my problem, how will I unload the current movie before Loading the next one. I want to UNLOAD the CURRENT MOVIE first before loading another MOVIE.

View 4 RepliesI've gone fully gray trying to learn how to do something in AS3 that was routine in AS2: Unloading (if something's already there) something from a movie clip then loading something in the same clip, all with the same button. Here's the code I'm using, er, attempting to use now. These are for two buttons out of a set of 9. All I'm trying to do is the simple: look to see if there's something in the clip "hovercap", and if so, remove it completely;, then load a new movie. (If there ISN'T something in "hovercap", I want to load a new movie anyway.
invisible_mvp1800c.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_DOWN, loadImage); {
function loadImage(url:String):void {
if(imageLoader != null && contains(imageLoader)){
removeChild(imageLoader);

Clearly, I'm still learning things in AS 3.
gary_btn.onRelease = function(){
imageLoader.content._visible = false;
nailLoader.content.unloadMovie();
empty_mc.unloadMovie();
for the either of the following unload lines (or perhaps the above .visable=false) is there a way to actionscript so that the movie (swf), unloads with a transition from 100 alpha to 0 alpha, (opaque to transparent) and therefore create a smooth transition out, as opposed to a rapid disappear? perhaps a 1/2 or 2/3 of a second or 15-20 frames at 30 fps?
nailLoader.content.unloadMovie();
empty_mc.unloadMovie();
I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {
loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1);
}

I figure that it unloads the movie and doesn't get to the second action so it just shows a blank because if i don't unload the movie, it'll load a movie overtop of the old one. All of the stuff I found that could potentially help are overly complicated with variables and large amounts of code. Is a crazy amount of code required?
i have a flash movie that loads in two external swf files.
The movie has two buttons each of which loads in a seperate movie, now this allworks fine and to be honest i just used the script assist function to make it all work.
Now my problem is that if i press button number one it loads in the first movie but then i have to press button number one again to unload the movie which means if i press button number one followed by button number 2 i do not unload a movie and they both play together one on top of the other.
is there away that i can have each of the buttons check to see if a movie is loaded and if it is unload it first.
below is my code.
ActionScript Code:
button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_3);
var fl_Loader_3:Loader;

I'm sure you've guys heard of this before, but I have a question about loading movies into movie clips with a playout animation sequence so the transition is better.What I mean is this:I load movie clip 1 into instance Container and I click on another button to load another movie into that instance. How do you play an out animation on the previous movie that's already loaded before the new one loads in? Without the out animation, it just replaces the currently loaded movie instantly without a natural transition

View 2 RepliesI have a main flash file that I load various external swf files into. On the first frame of the timeline, there is an intro swf loaded that basically welcoming the viewer to the site. What I want to do is have this load, play and unload and then go to frame two of the timeline where the main home section of the flash site is located.One my first frame on the timeline I have:loadMovieNum("/IntroMovie.swf",1);stop();n the external IntroMovie, I have unloadMovie (1); so the movie will play and then unload itself. What I can't figure out is how to get the timeline to go to the next frame once this movie is finished playing and has unloadedIf I don't put the stop in there, it simply skips this movie and goes to the next frame on the timeline and loads the home movie swf file.Is there a way to use some sort of if statement, that if the movie is unloaded, goto the next frame, sort of like this:if(code to verify if movie is unloaded);gotoAndStop(2);

private function customFunc(link):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(link); var loader:Loader = new Loader() loader.load(request) var swfContainer:MovieClip=new MovieClip ; this.addChild(swfContainer) swfContainer.addChild(loader);; trace(link);

I've got a SWF with two (for now) buttons on it that each load a SWF. Each of these will load fine if they are the first one pressed. Once one is pressed there are problems. If you try to go to the next one, the new SWF covers the one currently playing, but it will not load the FLV associated with it and the audio from the previous does not stop. You can see it all here: [URL]
And here is the code on the navigation:
var Xpos:Number = 130;
var Ypos:Number = 10;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.x = Xpos;

View 1 RepliesI am studying AS3 by myself, please bear with me if my explanation is not that clear.It's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF [code]Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button.When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf".Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"My questions are:
1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.
2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.
3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?
4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.[code]
I've got a games menu and have the code to load games when a button is clicked.
So far say you want to play GameA...
The player clicks the button to Play GameA and that game is loaded. Once the player finishes the game they are shown a button to continue which unloads the game and loads the menu.
The problem is that I want a movieclip to be visible on the menu but only when GameA is completed. There is no way to back out of GameA and getting back to the menu without completing GameA. I don't know how in GameA to put that if the continue button is pressed make 'GameATick' visible. I've tried inside the code of GameA putting code like root.GameATick.visible and code like this but it doesn't recognise the MC.
