ActionScript 2.0 :: Use LoadMovie Function Inside Loop To Load External PNG Files / When Game Is Loaded
Jan 19, 2009
I'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?

I want to load an external .swf file through the loadMovie function. The problem is flash takes sometime to load the file and therefore what ever commands I put below the loadMovie function, will not work. Placing this commands say 10 frames from the loadMovie function works but when online and you have a slow internet connection, it yet again fails. How do I solve this problem? I tried using onLoad but from what I gathered from several sites, it will not work with LoadMovie.

I'm new at AS3. I'm pretty good when it comes to PHP, MySQL or HTML but I'm totally lost in AS.I have a project in Flash Builder 4 that I'm trying to add something to that was built in Flash Professional. It's supposed to loas a couple of external AS files, then execute functions from them at a certain point in the application. I know where I want the functions to execute in the application, and I have linked the AS files to "test.as" which is the main AS file for "testapp.mxml". The problem is calling the "Detector" function from inside "FaceDetector.as" which is one of the external AS files. What is the best way to do the following.[code]I want to start the script and let it do what it's supposed to do inside the application at that given time.

My header is an mc with buttons that load swf's into a main content mc with this:on (release) { loadMovie("myswf.swf", _root.holder); and that works perfectly (content loads into mc with no page refresh).But..one of my loaded swf's has the same button code on a button to load swf's into the same mc and I get a page refresh.

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

i have a button that when pressed passes a variable:
_root.movieToLoad = "testAni";
then the next movie clip thet "receives" the variables needs to play the external .swf in an empty movie clip... i have the code like so:
movieToLoad = eval("external_" + _root.movieToLoad + ".swf");
emptyMovie_mc.loadMovie(" + VARIABLE_GOES_HERE + ", "_self", "GET");
of course it doesn't work... how do i place a variable in that loadMovie?

The whole problem is in the title. I have a gallery which looks a lot like coverflow. Each button in it loads a new gallery which is a swf with a new XML. The Problem is it only works on the first time i click on a button. The XML does not renew when i click on another button. It does load the new XML.

This is my first time ever constructing a web site ONLY using Flash 8. I normally just use elements here and there, and I am totally confused. The link to the project is here: [URL] I want the site to be set up so that when I click a button (at the bottom), an external .swf file loads into that gray box in the center. How do I start? Where do I start? I should be able to figure this out, but I am stuck.

I've been trying to use loadMovie to load external SWFs into 200x200 MCs arranged on the stage. What I get is a strange placement of the loaded movies, and, the loaded movies don't appear as they should. The loaded movies are really all the same: they display 4 squares that change randomly every 3 seconds.
1) The loaded movies seem to use their center point as the registration point instead of the top left corner. Why? How can this be changed?
2) The loaded SWFs ("1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf") get transformed from 200x200 pixels to 100x100 pixels. Why?

We sometimes get swfs at my job that doesn't match our standard banner width and height. We only have the swfs and not always able to get hold of the *fla.So we want to load the swf into our different standard banner size and show it.
How do I load the swf into a new *fla that has my standard stage width:995 and stage height: 150? Without distorting the swf to much. Swf could be loading into a MC or loading directly onto stage.I tried the loadMovie and loaded the swf into a empty MC. But I can't set the MCs width and height.

I'm having a problem with embedding a Flash movie that loads an array of SWFs- specifically, ones that exist in the same movie as the .fla loader file. When I move the external SWFs and .swf load_movie file into a separate directory from the HTML file, they do not load properly. I get just a white window. [URL]. When I keep the SWF movie clips and load_movie.swf in the same (root) folder as the .html file, then everything loads properly, though. But this would extremely clutter up my directory!
The code is as follows:
MovieClip on Stage
onClipEvent(data){
//test to make sure it's completely loaded, when swf's load this way onData is called with each 'chunk' of data
if(bytesLoaded()==bytesTotal()){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(_currentframe==_totalframes){
_root.loadNextMovie()
[Code] .....
I 'm not sure if there is a way in loadMovie to specify another folder, or the best way to solve this problem. I'm relatively new to Actionscript.

I was trying to set up a loop which checks to see if all files are available from an array before loading them in. I have got it working to a point where it traces out file is loaded or not but I cant seem to trace out which actual file name is missing eg. myfile1.swf is missing.

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've made a component to control the movieclip in the main timeline. The instance name of that movie clip passed as a parameter to the component. That is working fine in that file. But when that file loads into another SWF file, that containes a movieclip to hold the file that is being externally loaded, the methods are not working in that componentThis is the code of the component.
#initclip
function visiblerClass() {
this.what = this.insofitem;

I have 2 flash files,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.I want to load the external SWF to my container SWF.I write this code in my AS2 container, inside the main timeline flash (mine flash).In the first method, I add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
This code works fine in most of the cases, but I found many SWFs files that it dosen't work with. These SWFs and work with the following code instead:
loadMovieNum("external.swf",0);
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
I really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if I use this code the external SWF predominant, my main SWF code and all the rest of my code dosen't work (like the setInterval() timer).... I want to load the SWF like the second example and still run the setInterval() function.

I would like to have an external file (actually, one of several randomly selected files, but I can handle that) play and loop but I have yet to understand how to do the latter. My code works great for playing the file through one time, but when playback completes, it's done. How do I loop the audio? Is there perhaps a listener that can wait for the file to finish playing, then call a function to play the sound again?

create functions using a loop, like so with just the !HERE! replaced with the method of creating it with the 'i' variable. Both the function name in the event listener and the function's setting need to make use of the i variable
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i <= 5; i++){
this["question"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, !HERE! );

I'm creating a website using Adobe Flash Professional CS5. I'm trying to read the content of a text file with URLLoader.load(path) inside a for loop. The path changes every iteration. When I trace the data from the event handler method, it returns only the last path's text file's content. It seems like it's calling the event handler method only after the for has done looping.
CODE:
var myData:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myData.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void

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.
