I have a button on my main timeline that calls an external swf file into an empty container movie. How do I load external swf file and play on a particular frame label? I want to load a file called original.swf and start playing on a frame label called wheels.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to load external files from flash but I also need to do it using a variable that gets the frame label which is the same as the file name something like:
var myVariable:String = frame.get(framelabel);
and then use this code each time I get to a different frame label to load an external file for example when I am on frame "Boy", It loads Boy.jpg or Boy.txt.

View 6 RepliesI have a button on the main timeline. When clicking it, I would like to move the main timeline to a frame label called "history" and load and play a movie clip called "slideshow1".
I have the "gotoAndPlay" code working properly but can't seem to get the external swf "slideshow1" to load and play.
I've inserted the following code into the frame label "history" actionscript.
var myrequest_history:URLRequest=new URLRequest

var myloader_history:Loader=new Loader();

I have a main movie and a sidebar movie within it. In the sidebar movie, there is a tab that will insert text from an XML document based on the location of the playhead in the main timeline. I was thinking there must be some way to do an 'if else' statement to have the sidebar movieclip look for the playhead location in the main movie and get the appropriate child node based on that. However, I am not experienced enough in AS3, and I don't think I'm writing the function correctly. Here is the code, but there is also a link to the file I'm working with in case this code doesn't make sense:
PHP Code:
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
var Intro01txt:String = xmlData.scriptText[0].narration.text();

I am in a second scene... and am trying to call a frame label in an mc in scene 2 is there a such thing as...
on(release) {
_thisScene.mymc.gotoAndStop("framelabel");
}
this scene?
This code works great to pull up a swf at a certain frame label. But if I reuse it someplace else to pull up a different swf, I get errors?
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("scene1.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(req);
addChild(loader);
I have 2 swfs. One called "loves.swf" that contains 4 buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, it opens up an with an external swf, called "about_loves.swf". I would like to make each button go to a different frame labeled in my external swf. Currently, when you click on any button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4), they just play frame 1 from the external swf, "about_loves.swf".I would like btn2 to play frame 2 of "about_loves.swf", btn3 to play frame 3 of "about_loves.swf" and btn4 to play frame 4 of "about_loves.swf".here is my code so far:
// these two lines are needed only once, so here they are:
import local.display.ShadowBox;
ShadowBox.initialize(stage);

I have a scroll menu as a ScrollPane component with menu buttons which take the user to a spacific frame lable within an external SWF (which is loaded form a main SWF already) My code for the botton is:
on (release){
_root.badges.gotoAndPlay("executive");
}
badges is the SWF name loaded as external SWF from a main stage (call this main.SWF) where the menu sits as well. "executive" is the frame label I want the timeline of badges.SWF to go to when you click the button, but this does not work?
It was working when I have this on another flash file. I recently had to move this into another flash file its still the same setup as in the other flash file, there is a loader clip and menu on the main timeline of my main.SWF and all it has to do is go to a specific frame label within the loaded external SWF from the main timeline of the main SWF.
I'm trying to access a specific frame label in an externally loaded swf. I have the external swf loading, but I'm not sure how to access the specific frame label after release. This is an example of the code on my external swf timeline:

I'm new with Actionscript and am currently working atbuilding a website. I've got a lot figured out so far but oneproblem I'm running into is when I try to load an external .swfusing the loader component and then reference it or try to point toit within my main .swf I can only load the "gallery.swf." throughmyLoader.contentPath = "gallery.swf";I'm trying to load it and then point to a specific label soit loads that frame or label. I've created separate labels for eachimage in my gallery so that when I point to them with AS, it knowswhich image to load. It worked when I had the gallery in the main.swf but when I used the loader component it didn't work.The AS I used that worked before I made a separate .swf andused a loader was:
on(release) {
_parent._parent._parent.photos_MC.gotoAndPlay("img1");
}

I am using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.
I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});
[code]....
However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
I have an application swf that loads a big external swf with all GUI components/assets (skin) in it.I want to display a progress bar during loading of the external asset swf file but the images for the progress bar are also included in the external swf file.Is it possible to load only a portion of the external swf before loading the rest. The idea is to load the progress bar images from the external swf, then construct the progress bar and than load the rest of the swf. I was thinking to put it on different frames. Frame 1 containing the progress bar graphics and frame 2 the rest of the assets.

I've got a .fla with different buttons. when I klick them different loaders loads ext swfs.
Code:
var myloader4:Loader;
this.revista.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie4Click);
function movie4Click(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("white");
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("rec.swf");
myloader4 = new Loader();
myloader4.load(myrequest);
stage.addChild(myloader4);
Underneath the loaders on the label "white" I have to buttons, next and prev. I want to, when I press them, to go to the next frame of the loaded swf. I've got 6 diff ones. (myloader1-myloader6).
I have two flash files, say a.swf and b.swf.a.swf is the main swf file, embedded in an HTML page for a webpage. There is a preloader in a.swf too. In b.swf, when I click a specific button I need to load a.swf, but not from the preloader, from the content. To be precise, the content starts from Frame 24 of a.swf (obviously Preloader ends in Frame 23). I believe, the frame 24 has to be loaded in a.swf when I click the button in b.swf.

I have a main movie which loads various external SWF's. What I would like to achieve is that when returning to the main movie (using URLRequest & Loader class) that the main movie starts at specific frame.[code]I believe that the way global variables work in AS3 is very different. Is it true that I need to achieve this via an external class ?
View 5 RepliesUsing AS3 how can you load an external swf file at a specific frame of the newly loaded swf file.Using the AS3 loader class I have no problem loading an external image or swf movie onto the stage.But what I want to do is when the swf is loaded, go to the second frame (labeled "two") of that loaded swf.
For example, My main movie "main.swf" is blank.My external movie "loadMe.swf" has a circle on frame one and a square on frame 2.On the main movie (main.swf) is a button and when you click on it I want the square on frame two of "loadMe.swf" to appear.
I'm made a dropdown menu and i have resolved the navigation for the main buttons, but i have problems with the menu sub buttons , my question is: After the movie is loaded, how can i make the sub button go to specific frame. This is the script:

I'm trying to load an external SWF file once my Flash timeline reaches frame 29. I've tried a number of approaches at this, but they all end with the SWF file staying there when other pages are clicked. The SWF file (home_page.swf) can also be seen flashing between pages when buttons are clicked.
As you can see from the code below my other pages are called by Mouse Events on buttons. What is the best approach at having home_page.swf load at frame 27 and not conflict with the other buttons based pages? I would like home_page.swf to disappear when another SWF is loaded
I have been tinkering with ENTER_FRAME, just not sure how to set up a variable for it to work with my other pages.
Here is an example of a MouseEvent based page that I am using...
ActionScript Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var ContactPage:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact_page.swf");
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadContactPage);

My boss bought some pre-made actionscript that traces the mouse position when it's held down to display a certain frame at a certain position. He uses this for 360 product display. Then he asks me to find a way to load the jpg images each frame externally.
I did, one jpg per frame using this:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("logo_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
logo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",0);
logo_mc.container_mc.loadMovie("0.jpg");
logo_mc.onPress = function() {
trace("It works");};
However, when you switch from one frame to another, there's a delay in loading the next jpg, even when it's local. So, when you go from one frame to another, there's this strobe light effect. I'm assuming that what one would do to solve this is to load an array and set each jpg visibility to 0 until the frame calls to that movie to set the visablity on a specfic container.

View 4 RepliesI am using the video component player and it is working fine using this code:
Code:
video.setMedia("elements/flv/episode_1.flv", "FLV");
The problem is, if someone is playing the video and goes to another part of the flash movie, the video keeps playing or loading in the background. The video image doesn't show, but i can hear the audio or see in the browser that it is still loading.
How can i kill the video from loading once the playhead moves from the frame that the video player is on (it is sitting on a single frame)?
