I have a swf that gets XML of a location of another swf and loads it. It then casts the loader's content as a movie clip and adds it to the stage. I have that working fine, but how can I control the timeline of the loaded swf?
View 4 RepliesIs it possible that we can control external loaded swf sound (on timeline) properties.
E.g:
duration
position
onComplete....etc?
I need to determine when the first swf has finished to load the second and so goes on but I couldnt find a way to even trace de current frame in the timeline of my external swf.How can i determine the current frame in the timeline of a external swf?even with a enter frame event to check the current frame has not workedIve even build up a class to give the parameters to the main SWF but has not worked.I need to compare the current frame with the total frame and when got the last frame, and the end of the animation, unload this first movie and load the second.

I have a swf that loads an external swf. I want the external swf, (the one that was just loaded), to interact with the timeline of the swf that just loaded it. I've been trying MovieClip(root). or MovieClip(parent). but they give me errors. How should I use as3 in the external swf so that it interacts correctly with the parent?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to load multiple swfs (one at a time) using one loader and pause/play the loaded swfs using a button. I have gotten the swfs to pause/play, but all except for one will delete itself upon resuming. I made the loaded swfs in Captivate. Each Captivate swf is made up of multiple Flash swfs, each on its own slide. When the swfs delete, they only delete the currently playing slide's swf and then the next slide's swf will appear and play when the timeline advances to it (but will also delete if paused/resumed), but the playbar will show that the swf has been successfully paused and restarted and will continue along with no swf showing.
Here is a short version of my code (becuase the original has 8 swfs to choose from):
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}//HERE STARTS THE ATTACHMENT BUTTONS REFERENCING FROM THE mainMC

I have a set of SWFs loaded, and have successfully added them to the stage, and can assign basic methods ( gotoAndPlay(), stop() etc..) based on MouseEvents. I can't quite figure out, however, how to assign methods based on frame number or label, triggered by labels on the currently playing SWF timeline. So, for example: externally loaded swf starts playing, and a listener is set up to listen for a "stop" label, which would activate stop();I can obviously just drop a stop(); in the timeline of the loaded swf, but I am really trying to banish all code from timelines, period.
I could set up a frame-based listener to decide if a label exists at the current frame, and then to evaluate if that frame label == "stop"... but that seems pretty messy, and because it has to run at every frame, CPU heavy...So - the question is really about listeners, I guess. What event would I listen for? Something like a MouseEvent - but ... a LabelEvent instead Obviously - this doesn't exist, but something like it would be perfect. tions scattered here and there isn't that big of a deal

I need to contro the timeline of an external swf that i'm loading in a movieclip that is in the main timeline.I have a button inside a MC that is on the Main swf that button has to say to the external swf something like "gotoAndStop(5)" i tried a lot of thinks but nothing works the last think i tried was this.[code]

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();

i have a UILoader that loads an image from an xml list when you click its thumbnail ( in its thumbnails mc on mainstage aswell) thing is, i have another UILoader on the layer above that loads in a swf ( a slideshow that fades in and out the pictures when they change to the next, with all the coding on frame 1, frame 2 only has a stop and some code for when the mouse is idle for 5 secs it goes back to frame 1) so when you go to "portraits" it takes you to frame "x" where the slideshow ( loaded external swf ) starts playing automaticly right, if i click any thumbnail the slideshow goes to frame 2 ( wich is perfect and the mouse idle thing i wanted works great ) the ONLY THING IS
after the slideshow runs by default for the first time ( i enter the category portraits ) and i click any thumbnail ( moving slideshow swf to frame 2 enabling mouse idle event ) and the mouse is idle ( so it does the event and starts playing the slideshow again ( goes back to frame 1 ) ) I CANT MAKE THE UILOADER OF THE THUMBS IMAGE TO DISSAPPEAR!
I apologise because I know this has been covered but none of the code I've found seems to have sorted my problem.On my main timeline (_level0 right?) I have the following code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container2",2);
container2._x=28

I'm having a few issues controlling the timeline within an externally loaded swf.
View 0 RepliesI have a external SWF loading into a target on my main swf. Is there a way to control the timeline from the loaded movie from the main timeline. So , control B timeline from A. I've tried mcholder.gotoAndPlay (2); but it won't work. Also, how can I get the mumbers of frames from the external swf into the main timeline. Will a global variable work?
View 1 RepliesLet say i got two movies: main.swf and moho.swf. What main.swf have inside is only one frame with a couple of graphics. And moho.swf (btw, did in Moho, u know the 2d animation software where u cant use AS.) that have 80 frames.So simple, what i need is to load moho.swf on main.swf. I already did that. But i want to be able to control moho.swf timeline so when moho movie reach its last frame (80) then go to its frame 60 and then again 80, and loop.

View 3 RepliesI've been trying to combine the features of two tutorials I found, one that deals with controlling external swf's from the main timeline and the other that explains how to load and unload multiple external swf's. I'd like to be able to load and unload multiple external swf's, and control these swf's buttons from the main timeline
I asked this same question on the forum of the site where I found these tutorials, and receive only one reply saying that "it shouldn't be hard to do." but they did not elaborate any further. This left me think that I was missing something very obvious and I've spent too much time now trying to work what it is now. I understand pretty much how both pieces of code work, but just can't work out how to combine them.[code]...
I can't understand what i did wrong.i loaded an external SWF, and i want to control it's current frames.
View 2 RepliesI've got a main flash index file (fla_main.swf) which acts as a header/menu that concurrent pulls in external movies (ie, content pages) when sections are selected. There's no problem with that at all, but I do have a soundtrack control panel that is an external mov loaded in (soundctrl01.swf). There's 3 music tracks and options to stop, start, next track etc. All the usual stuff, vars loaded by "loop01.new Sound();" etc and played/stopped with the var instances. Anyway, the mov starts with loop01 playing and then allows the option to skip etc, working fine on publishing but when the fla_main loads it in theres no sound on any loops. Is this an issue with loading sound vars and external movies?
View 5 Replies I'm having issues with an animation and need to get it functioning properly. I've posted two example/demo files to illustrate desired functionality.The main timeline (testMain.swf) consists of a loader, section/slide one content, and a button (bttnClick) set to load an external swf (external.swf).
external.swf contains two additional sections/slides and two 'next' buttons (bttnEnter with 'bNextOne' & 'bNextTwo' instance names) to navigate. When the second 'next' button (bNextTwo) is clicked I need the loaded external swf to fade out revealing the original main timeline (testMain.swf) and returning/stopping playhead at the 'slideOne' frame label. Does the external swf need to be unloaded even though users will most likely go back to it? What�s the best way to handle this?
If you could assist with the external swf fadeout to main timeline, the return to 'slideOne' frame label, and insight as far as the best way to return to the external swf.
I'm trying to check for an external swf file being loaded using
event.target.name=="pubResCHETNA" and currentFrame == second frame of scrollPaneGroup movieclip (the scrollPaneGroup movieclip is from a external loaded swf file)
Here is my code:
var currentSWF:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
currentSWF = MovieClip(loader.content);
if(event.target.name=="pubResCHETNA" && ?????? )
How should I place the condition over here?
{
fCbtn.buttonMode=true;
fCbtn is a movieclip reside in second frame of scrollPaneGroup movieclip of "pubResCHETNA.swf".
}
I'm about 10 hours deep into getting an external swf to be loaded on a page in my main timeline. I've gotten as far as loading the external swf (within the first few hours) hahah but now, have spent twice as long trying to get the external swf to be removed when a person navigates to a different page of my main timeline.
I have a videoplayer on one frame which is my "video" page. I've gotten the external swf to load two different ways, for example, the latest code i am using to load the external is below and seems so nice, clean and simple:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("VideoPlaylist_HV.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
loader.x = 180
loader.y = 50
But I would like to add a function that says on any mouse click event (navigation) close the swf that is loaded.
If any of you genius people out there can help me, please do. I thought getting it to load was going to be the hard part but I was wrong. I am very discouraged by Actionscript in general.
download what i have so far, i left alot of the content out so the file size isn't big. And yes, i am sure once you see how I work you will be sure that I am no flash expert. I can send a link to the .flas, the site won't allow me to post the link as I am new.
So I am using the following code to load an external swf and am trying to reference the timeline of the loaded movie i.e. a frame label. Say I wanted to do a simple gotoAndPlay what is the syntax? I would use (myloader.gotoAndPlay ("framelabel") this seems like an obvious answer but doesn't seem to work for me.
Code: Select allfunction yesClick(event:MouseEvent){

I am working on an isometric engine called IsoEngine in AS3. I need to duplicate an swf externally loaded. The problem is that after being loaded and duplicated the resulting movieClip lose all its embedded actionScript. Therefore a clip containing 2 or more frames will loop infinitely regardless the stop() that you would have put on the targeted swf fileI am using the following function to duplicate my swf loaded:
var targetClass:Class = Object(loader.content).constructor;
var duplicateisplayObject = new targetClass();
