ActionScript 3.0 :: Completely Unloading An External SWF
Mar 12, 2009
I'm working on a project in which I'm loading an external AS2 swf file onto the main stage.
To load the movie I'm using this code:
Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
[Code]....
Thing is, when I use removeChild on the movieclip, I can still hear the sound of the swf file, which means, it wasn't really unloaded when I removed the movieclip containing it.
How can I completely unload the swf?

I have been able to unload the SWF (emptyMC.removeChildAt(0) ), or so I thought, but if there is sound playing in the loaded SWF it continues to play after the loader with the old SWF is unloaded. I know there is the unloadAndStop() method but I don't know how to incorporate it into my current code.Here is what I have so far. And mind you, eventually there will be 20 pages in the site, let me know:
ActionScript Code:
btnMENU.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadHome);
btnAPPT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadAbtDoctor);

In have an application that uses buttons t0 load different text files. The problem is when I load the second text file I still get variables from the first one showing. To clarify things, suppose I load a file that displays variables 1 through 5 randomly when I click one button, then I click a second button in order to load a file that displays 6 through 10. The problem is that I still get some variables from 1-5 when I want to get only 6-10. Is the first file kept in memory or something? How do I unload or clear the temp/memory where the content of the first file is held.

I have an application that calls external SWF files through the UILoader component. I do this so I can keep the file size smaller in the beginning and only load objects as the user needs. (if there is a better way to do this,Here is my problem. One of the objects plays music. In it's simplest form something like this:
var sound:Sound;
sound = new Sound( );
sound.load(new URLRequest("fightsong.mp3"));

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

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 have developed a touchscreen application that works perfectly fine except for the memory issue. Basically, the touchscreen app works kinda like a website with navgation on the side and content displaying next to it. I separeate each section into external swfs, and load each one up when it is needed, thinking it would reduce memory used on the pc. But unlike actionscript 2, AS 3 would not remove the external swfs from the memory. You can remove it from the stage and you won't see it, but the swf will still stay in the memory! So... as you navigate through the app, loading up all these external swf, even I do loader.unloadAndStop();, the swf is still there, and they just keep piling up in the memory as you navigate from the app. After leaving the touchscreen for a day or 2, having all these users naviage through it, all the external swfs will just completely consume all the resources and freeze the pc.

I have three AS2 swf files main.swf - very simple swf file with three buttons (home,btn1, btn2)
1.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn1
2.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn2
Home button simply removes the loaded swf and shows btn1 and btn2.
If I launch main.swf and click btn1, then 1.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn2.. 1.swf still loads! When I close main.swf and reopen, click btn2, then 2.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn1.. 2.swf still loads! WTSDLFKJ@##@$
This is why I ask how to completely unload the swfs? I've tried every different way to unload Google could show me.. unload, unloadandstop, etc. I've tried loading 1/2.swf as a movieclip and URLRequest. I've tried using two separate containers and loaders. Still the same thing.. the first opened swf is the only one that will open unless I close main.swf, reopen and then click the OTHER button.
I should note that 1/2.swf are flip book style applications that load external .xml data.

My main project loads an external .swf ("room") depending on which button the user clicks. Once that external .swf ("room") is loaded, the viewer chooses a ("demo") .swf to view. I need the "demo" .swf to unload once it is finished playing so that the viewer sees the 1st external .swfs menu again. All .swfs are loaded into an empty loader component. The "demo" swfs were created in captivate thus I don't have access to a timeline for them.[code]That all works fine, but when I load "room" .swfs into the main .swf, the unloadCaptivate(); no longer works.

I'm having a problem unloading an external SWF from my container clip. I've searched all morning for a fix to this problem, with no clear resolution. I thought this was originally a xml update issue, but it's not. A lot of talk about removing child nodes, but I'm not sure what do do there.Here's my code:
PHP Code:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild; swiff = []; total = xmlNode.childNodes.length; for (i=0;

I have a really simple problem regarding the unloading of swf's. I've searched for solutions but somehow I am having some difficulties understanding all the parent-child associations.So, I have main swf that has four buttons, each loading an external swf. The buttons are on the main timeline. The swf's that are loaded have a return button on their main timelines that would need to unload the current swf and thus return to my main swf.

I have a simple file with 2 buttons (load + unload).By pressing the load button, an external movie_player SWF loads (this SWF loads a FLV video into it).The problem is that when I press unload, the movie_player dissapears from the main SWF, but I still can hear it. How can this problem be fixed?
ActionScript Code:
var urlRequest01:URLRequest = new URLRequest("movie_player.swf");
var external_swf01:Loader = new Loader();

I'm building a site that has 7 sections. 1 section is a Photo Gallery for which I'm loading an external SWF file that is controlled by an XML file. Im doing this for allowing content editing any time.
All of the other content on the site is one-time, no backend required.
I've successfully loaded the external swf file into a loader in one of the frames. However, when I navigate away to the other 6 sections, I'm unable to unload the external SWF loader. How do I go about this?
Here's my code that loads the external SWF in one frame:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//This creates a new instance of the loader object.
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();

I have developed a small website in flash 8 ...
- The website has content (text) which is loaded externally
- The images are also called externally with 'loader' component
- I have added a preloader at the beginning of my file
But still when I loaded it on the server....the images and the content is coming slowly. Some way to load the whole file completely at the time of loading (including the external content)?

I have a external swf that has an embedded video that loads automatically. Once it loads I have a button that unloads it and reloads. The first time I unload it, it works fine. The second time the video unloads but the sound continues? This happens each time I load and unload; the sound continues to loop.
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs1/ME_video1a1.swf");

In one particular keyframe, I have five buttons on the left hand side of my stage, that when clicked, display an external swf on the right handside. It works perfect fine using the code below. However on this frame where all this is going on, I also have a back button that i want to link back to the home page. But I just CAN'T seem to get it to unload the external swfs as well as go back in the timeline.[code]

I am slowly learning AS3 but have hit a bit of a brick wall though I am sure it is something that many will see as easily resolvable, just my lack of knowledge and understanding of AS3 at this moment.
My query is I am trying to create a SWF which loads in (3) external SWF's using three movieclips I have within the main SWF. I have managed to get the external SWF's (1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf) to load in when each of the movieclips / AS3 buttons have been clicked but I cannot figure out how to unload the current selected SWF file (e.g. have initially click on btnOne which displays 1.swf yet when click on btnThree to display 3.swf, 1.swf has not been removed from the stage and overlaps 3.swf) when I want to load another SWF file (sorry if this does not make sense). Below is the test code I have tried:
Code: Select all/////////////////////
///////Loaders///////
/////////////////////
//One
[code]....
My question is how do I unload (or removeChild I guess) the current SWF from the stage when I click on another movieclip / AS3 button to load another external SWF without the mish-mash as can be seen in the uploaded test files?
