ActionScript 3.0 :: Catch All Errors Of An External SWF File When It's Loaded?

I've searched for a good while but I can't seem to find an answer to this question:How to catch all errors of an external SWF file when it's loaded?The story:I'm building a flash app that would upload and then load any user-created SWF file and display it if it doesn't throw errors.I've tried to use try/catch statement but it doesn't seem to catch internal errors of the loaded SWF.
I've searched for a good while but I can't seem to find an answer to this question: How to catch all errors of an external SWF file when it's loaded?The story: I'm building a flash app that would upload and then load any user-create SWF file and display it if it doesn't throw errors. I've tried to use try/catch statement but it doesn't seem to catch internal errors of the loaded SWF.Code (a chopped version):
In Flash AS3 i wanna write the single try catch block in order to catch any errors in whole class. For ex, i have a lot of functions in myClass.as. I don'w wanna write in each function try catch blocks in order to catch errors in this function. Is there any methods to do this?
Is there anyway to detect/catch errors for loading of photos in the datagrid if the photos cant be loaded due to some reasons like photo not found in directory, etc .... Like using ioerror or smth...
This is how I load the photos into the datagrid.. Using
var col_img:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("photo"); myDataGridList.addColumn(col_img); col_img.cellRenderer = LoaderCellRenderer;
My first attempt involved using LoadVars and "load", and only calling loadMovie if the file successfully loaded (found the technique somewhere out here). However, I found that the ProcessRequest function in the HttpHandler was getting called twice when the file does exist. Makes sense - once for load, once for loadMovie.Now I'm using MovieClipLoader instead (also found this technique out here). This way does call ProcessRequest only once whether or not the file is found. But my problem is that the onLoadError function is only working when I give it a bad URL. If I give it a good URL that passes a bad filename to the handler, the handler throws an error, but my onLoadError function doesn't seem to recognize that there's a problem - I just get a blank area where the error message should be showing up.Here's the relevant AS2 code:
function CheckFileExists(inFile) { var mclListener:Object = new Object(); mclListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, err:String){
I have this streaming video player with an asyncErrorHandler function which isn't working correctly.In Flash player 10 I get no errors, but in Flash player 9 I'll get a popup window with the error message that shows up in my output window when I test on my local machine.
Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetConnection was unable to invoke callback onBWDone. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onBWDone not found on src.display.VideoClass and there is no default value.
I feel that I have my AsyncErrorEvent setup correctly however, but am unsure as to why I still get a massive error in my output window, here is the popup window and code below:My statusEventHandler function
// ☼ --- Handle Status and Errors function statusEventHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void { trace("connected is: "+ncConnection.connected); trace("event.info.level: "+event.info.level);
I'm trying to do a simple game in which you have to move a frog in X axis to catch the falling flies. sorry if I mistake some words cuz I talk in spanish It's already done, but it has 2 bugs and I dunno what the reasons are
The 1st bug, Each time the game is over, and you click in "PLAY AGAIN ", I could notice that the frog movement (which you can move by pressing the keys) is increased a little; for example if you played 6 times the 7th you can reach the opposite side by pressing the corresponding key 2 times, despite the fact that in the code i did write only +15px for the right when you press right arrow and -15px for the left when you press the left one (on X axis) for each time the key is pressed
This isn't an exact duplicate of AS3: add event listener to loaded swf, actually it seems to be a mirror situation with non-mirror solution..
I have a test flash file that registers its own listener at first frame's actions.
trace("it's going to be OK"); stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, aKey);
Unfortunately neither line works when .swf is loaded into another movie. Assuming that stage object is wrong for such situations, which object should be used to get listener?
Is it necessary to rewrite loader in parent swf, as said in the linked question?
How can I replace text loaded from an external file with text from another external file? Using setInterval and calling the .load from a function or something? In the example below I'm calling an external text file, could this also work with an .xml file with cycling through the children?
Is there a way to load a SWF by filename, but using a catch-all somewhat like the asterisk in an import statement is used?For example, I have an SWF called MyAnimation_v01.swf This file gets changed quite a bit, so everytime it gets changed, the "_v01" (version) gets incremented... i.e. MyAnimation_v02.swf, MyAnimation_v03.swf, MyAnimation_v04.swf, etc.Is there a way to load a SWF whose filename matches a certain set of values (MyAnimation_) and disregards the rest? So, instead of having to explicitly load "MyAnimation_v72.swf", something like "MyAnimation_ + * + .swf"?
Is it possible to catch some external URL requests from loaded swf?
I have loader swf in which I need to load another swf. Those swf files I load are extarnal and I don`t have fla sources.
There is one large *.swf community which allows *.swf creators to upload their swfs. However, that should be packed swfs in one file, with no external script requests.
I have one text file which i am loading externally from my local machine. I am trying to read some variables from this file.
my problem: if the text file somehow fails to load in flash then it should load variables from HTML file from which my swf is running. But i am not able to check if this text file is loaded or not.
my code: (working if text file is present)
///Local Variables Loading////// var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.
I have been looking for a way to show a preloader before the external SWF file loaded but unfortunately I had no luck as of yet!!I have a button that loads a few external files in some empty MCs. I just want to show a small preloader before the external SWF files loaded?
In stage AA movieClip is there in side AA, BB MovieClip is there. I Load a external Swf file from BB MovieClip . Can i get current lavel from external loaded swf file.
I have a Flex application that loads some data from the database. During this I want my custom preloader stay visible. When I postpone the dispatchEvent( new Event(Event.COMPLETE)) in the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE handler, the loading will never happen because the next frame is not entered. How can I keep the loader running until all the data is fully loaded?
How do I get to the MovieClips within an externally loaded Movie Clip. Lets say I have a movie Called ONE in the swf I just loaded. How can I work with it alpha, position and other properties of the children of this clip? CODE IN MAIN TIMLINE:
[Code]...
Now its loaded I want to change the postino of the clip called ONE in the movie LoadedMC I just created.
One being ... at the moment when a FLVPlayback is imported onto the stage and a user clicks on the exit button before the video it has fully loaded onto the stage, the video keeps loading in the background. I want it to be completely removed and stop loading when the exit button is click... because at the moment it slows the users internet down and the sound also plays in the background when its been fully loaded... The video interface seem to be removed but not the whole thing.
It is also happening to me when I use addChild to load a external JPEG... if the user exits before it is fully loaded to the stage... it keeps loading in the background.[code]...
I've got button events that load swf files into the main movie. Within the loaded swfs are additional buttons. When these buttons are clicked I want the targeted swfs to replace the current swf. I guess I don't understand how to reference the Loader var within the main movie.
Currently, when the links are clicked in the loaded swfs, the movies are loaded on top, rather than replacing them.[code]...
How I can reload/refresh contents that have been loaded by an external XML file. I have a XML file that has more than one parent node. When I click on a arrow button(to go to the next one) it does not reload or refresh the thumbnails.
i have one simple question. I did simple scrollbar for text which is loaded from external file. But, if the text in textfield is too short ( few words ) I dont want scrollbar to roll. I would be grateful for any useful advice.
Code: var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("abcd.txt"));loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); function completeHandler(event:Event):void{
I'm making application with ability to copy system files and I need to show copying progress. Can anyone show some examples,I'm trying to use FileStream class, but I seem to lack experience.
I am loading external text file in flash and i am trying to trace progress so i could use it to show user how far loading is completed.
And i have i problem as i only get my trace after my text is completly loaded and shown in flash. only than i see progress in my trace window. Do you have any idea why? I am using one frame on one layer i have text field that i need for my text and another layer with code
Code: stop(); var textName:String = "test.txt"; var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(textName);
[code]....
why do i only see my progress after i see text( so after it is complety loaded)?
