ActionScript 3.0 :: Clearing Imported SWF On Exiting Frame
Nov 18, 2011
I have a need to have a section in an app I am creating where I have imported an external (print2flash)SWF into my main SWF timeline. When the button is pushed, it moves to a new frame on the main timeline. Problem is, when I forward to the next frame, the SWF stays on any future frame I go to. In essence I need to clear what was imported when I leave one frame and enter another.
This is the code I am using to import the print2flash SWF
import Print2Flash.* stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALEstage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT var P2FDocLoader:Print2FlashDoc3=new Print2FlashDoc3("modules/FlashDoc.swf",300,120,650,520,this)P2FDocLoader.addEventListener(Print2FlashDoc3.ONLOADEVENT, OnLoaded);
var P2FDoc:MovieClipvar totalPages:Number=0
function OnLoaded(e:Event) {
P2FDoc=P2FDocLoader.getDoc()}
Is there away to add on on leave frame unload function?

if there is a type of eventlistener that listens when externally loaded swf moves from frame 1 to frame 2? (or from frame 4 to frame 5 etc) SWF is loaded with url-loader and it stops at frame 1.Theres a "to the next frame" button inside content-SWF. When user pushes it,swf jumps one frame ahead. I cannot alter that content SWF anyhow, so I should use some kind of event listener that reacts when frame changes in loaded SWF.

I load an external swf file (a music player) in a certain frame but need to figure out how to remove it when the user navigates to a different section. I've googled it and checked out the rest of the forum but having a hard time finding a specific code I can directly insert, I'm still not too code oriented and wouldn't know how to write it out even if given the proper terms. I feel as if it should be something as simple as:[code]But I don't know AS3 so I ultimately have no clue.

I have searched countless forums (here and other sites) and still have yet to find the solution I am looking for (hopefully it exists).I have an flv file being loaded by the flv playback component. It all works except that the video (and audio) continues to play even after navigating away from the frame on which the component instance is located.I have found a solution that stops the audio by using: SoundMixer.stopAll();But the video is still streaming and affects the site's performance.I want to stop both the audio and video, which means using: playbackInstance.stop();However, all the solutions I have come across basically say to add the stop function to all buttons that could potentially navigate from the frame with the playback instance.
This seems completely tedious and bulky, particularly because I have navigation buttons visible from my "main swf" and the MULTIPLE playback instances I have are located inside a loaded swf with its own navigation as well. By nature of design, the playback instances will not always be on the stage so calling references will undoubtedly throw errors. Of course, there are ways to do all of this with conditional statements, etc. But it just seems like a waste of time.

I've got a timeline of events going on with about a dozen frames and about a dozen buttons. Clicking on each button will take you to a different frame. Simple enough. I have no problem with fading the specific frames in (I make the whole content of the frame a movie clip, then tween the alpha programatically as soon as you enter that frame). The issue I have is fading it out, so when you click on another button, that content on the current frame fades out and then you jump to a separate labeled frame, where the new content fades in).

Here is the flash file I am working on for a local kids charity so you can see [URL]. If you press the next button 9 times it will bring you to a drag and drop game I have made, you have to match the targets so it spells cat, this works fine, the problem I am having is that the objects you match stays there for the rest of the frames (try it yourself by pressing next) I am just wondering how to clear this?

I am trying to clear an interval (for sound repeat) after my animation on a particular frame ends; but I only understand how to do it with x, y movement.
Also my gotoAndPlay interval repeats unexpectedly because of this problem.
ActionScript Code:
//Opening Sounds
sharkSound = new Sound(this);
sharkSound.attachSound("shark_sound");

I have six Scenes, each scene has an imported FLV file.I have a 6 button menu that works fine when clicking from one scene to the other.The problem is is that videos 1 to 4 play fine when I switch to the scene, but FLV files 5 and 6 just stay paused at frame 1.If I test the Scene using Ctrl+ALT+Enter, the Scenes work fine.But Only if I either hit Ctrl+Enter to render the whole project, or if I publish the file, do the FLV files pause on frame 1.All 6 videos are coded exactly the same way.

How to adjust the frame rate of an imported movie so that it would run in its intended fps rate, and not at the same rate as the presentation in which is importing it. (To be more specific, my main presentation runs at 1 fps, but the intro movie I want to add runs at 20 fps). Anyway, along my travels, someone pointed me towards the code at [URL]. I have since downloaded it and tried to get it to work. As it turns out, I know so little about flash and actionscript programming that I am unable to get it to work properly!
According to the comments in the code, it is executed by calling the fPlayControl() function, which has the following syntax:
_levelN.fPlayControl(_root.mcMovie,nFPS)
where (quoting now)
"'N' is the level number of where this swf is loaded and 'mcMovie' is a movie clip on the _root timeline of the movie that is calling this function and 'nFPS' is a number between 1 and 120."
I don't even know what levels are! Are they layers? Thus, the first layer is level 0? Then the next layer is level 1? Next, how do I give an imported movie a name so that I can call this function with the movie's name as parameter? I tried importing a movie into the library, and then giving it a name, but I still couldn't get the bloody thing to work.
My steps to attempt to get this to work: I opened the play_control.fla file, and chose "Import to library..." I then selected my little intro movie, and then I brought up the library, and renamed it. I also choose the "Export for ActionScript" option, which automatically highlighted one or two other options. Then I added this one line after all the other ActionScript code:
_level0.fPlayControl(_root.myintro,1);
Anyway, after doing that, nothing came up. Then I added another layer and inserted the intro movie from the library into it and played the movie again. This time the intro played, but it zoomed along (at I'm assuming 120 fps, which is what the speed is set to in the demonstration file I downloaded). Thus, it still wasn't working.

Is it possible for a flash program to know when it is closed when embedded in a webpage?asically I have some variables which get updated whilst the user is navigating around my program, and I want that once they have left, those variables are saved. I'm only looking to save a set of variables, which is likely to be a small 10~ item array or a series of text variables, but what I really want is the variables that are saved to be accurate when they leave

I upload my flex client-side swf app to some website that loads different swf's on it's site. So you see your application floating in that website. My app is Flex swf app and has onCreationComplete() that starts the flow of logic. Now I want to do cleanup state and save state in a shared object when the application unloads (or probably exiting event, or closing event..) So do we have any function that I can implement and the flash platform automatically calls that function when the swf is unloading/closing/exiting?? (just like the onCreationComplet() function)

I have written a basic chat client that talks to an XML Socket server. When it starts it connects to the socket and works fine. However, when I close the Flash Player it is still occupying a connection to the server. I am trying to determine how I can trap the close of the Flash Player and programmatically close the connection to the server before the program exits.

started programming the menus for the game im working on. Everything shows up ok so far but when i select the buttons rather than it loading the next part, its going to a black screen? Does anyone have any suggestions? My code for the MainMenu is as follows:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
Then the "game" is another class which is loaded when you select to play the game.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, i have images loaded that are converted to movieclips and named the same as the class so that they display as the background. The main menu image works fine, just not the game background.

I am working on a flash game, that will be distributed as and EXE file. I would very much like the game to run full screen, which is not a problem, but I am struggling with replacing flash default behavior when escape is pressed. When escape is pressed I would like to display a custom menu asking the user if they want to exit the game or continue playing, not just exit full screen more.

I have a movie where a variable named daysleft will be loaded from an external text file into a dynamic text box, this bit works fine. But I then need the movieclip "numbers" to gotoAndStop to the frame number imported via the variable daysleft. Although daysleft displays on the screen a trace(daysleft); says the variable is undefined.

We have an applicaiton using AS3 that we run in FlashPlayer 9 and 10 (swf embeded in html). The applciaiton is designed to collect information from an applicant/prospective student. When the user clicks the exit button we show a modal dialog (using the Alert class) with Yes and No.When the user confirms the exit we set display controls,application controls, data displays,campus selection,sub applications to null and unload modules and reinitialize the application before sending a comand to the web browser to reload(usinf the ExternalInterface class). Ideally this will bring the user to the welcome/login page without having any artifacts from their prior flash session.I am having issues with two dfferent things
- When the user clicks yes or no, the applicaiton delays closing the alert modal for about two seconds.
- The applicaiton flickers before reloading.

I've made a flash application using actionscript 3, I wanted this application size to be dynamic, To be able to embed it in any size and let it adjust itself accordingly. I managed to accomplish this, theres a problem though: The original width of the application is 700 pixels. I'm embedding the flash in a smaller size, (400 for example) going to full screen, and when I exit, the application sets itself back to being 700 pixels wide, and isn't adjusting itself to the 400px width of the actual embedding area..

I have built a flex application which has a "main" project and it is assosciated with a few RSL's which are loaded and cached once i run my "main" application. The problem i am facing is that the newer versions of my RSL's are not being loaded as the cache holds the older version of my RSL and execxutes the same. Each time i have got to clear the cache to execute the new version of my RSL's, which is irritating.

I have a website that is currently all flash-based. Unfortunately if you return to that website, it won't change a thing until you delete your temporary internet files, being that it is flash. So for every update, I have a new .swf file ie: 2801091.swf and this works perfectly fine. However when you enter the calendar, it loads the .xml file but it's always what's been cached.
1) Everything about the flash file can be revised if it's the newest version so dated .swf files aren't created every time there's an update?
2) A way to clear the .xml cache or refresh it every time the calendar is opened?

I might me going crazy, but I've scoured the trying to find a way to clear out or reset or empty an array. I've tried a for loop
for(i=0; i<_root.imageList.length; i++){
_root.imageList.shift();
}
Doesn't always work. So how do I "reset" an array, just clear it out completely so I can reuse it?
