ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting End Of Loaded External Swf?
Dec 12, 2009
I have a main swf file that needs to stop, load & play an external swf file the main timeline, & then resume the main timeline when the external swf has finished playing.
So I have the follwing code in a frame in the main timeline:
stop();
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("url/.swf");
[Code].....
This loads and plays OK but it's the unload and play that I'm struggling with.
What code can I use to detect the end of the external swf and either call swfComplete of goto a main timeline label?
detect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.
I'm working on an image pre-loader where i get the images i want from their respective url's, and once finished, proceeding to the next page. I have gotten it to load the images as i want/need, through lines of code similar to this:
Code: var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); this.createEmptyMovieClip("imgcont",1); loader.loadClip("*url to img goes here*",imgcont);
All i'm looking to find is how many of my images have loaded completely. At first, i thought that getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() would have been able to help me, but it seems that the images brought in through loadClip has no weight on how much has been loaded.
Is there any way of determining how much of those images has been loaded?
I am able to load images into my file by designating their locations in an XML file using AS3. I'd like to be able to determine the width and height of the individual images without having to manually enter each one into the XML file.I think once I reach this point, I'll be able to figure it out on my own:I want to be able to load an image to the stage and trace its width.
Is there a way to detect the _height and _width of a incoming image?
I'm going through a loop, duplicating movie clips with mask, loading an image, and squeezing it down to 100 x 100 for thumbnails. The client wants the thumbnails to be actual proportions but I used so many tweens and setup functions based on the 100 pixel width it's going to be a nightmare.
I am trying to load an external swf into a target. When the swf is completely loaded, I want to execute the next set of actions. I am trying to develop my flash websites so that no coding is done within the child swfs. So I would assume some code like this would work: _root.holder.loadMovie ("child.swf"); if(_root.holder.getBytesLoaded ==_root.holder.getBytesTotal){ _execute some other command; } However it doesn't work! So is there a way to detect when a specific child swf has fully loaded into a target (not _framesLoaded please!) and then set a variable to allow some other actionscript to kick in?
I'm trying to write a script that will check to see if an image or video file exists in an external directory. If the file is detected, then a new MC will be created and the file will be imported into it. If the file is not detected, then nothing will happen.
Im currently trying to upload an external swf file trough an empty mc. But since in this case i will be changing the swf file at times, i hope i could have an actionscript that detects the end of the external swf file and then gets the command gotoAndPlay(2).
I am working on a small section of my game and am attempting to detect key presses from an external class but I cannot get it to work. This code worked just fine when within the document class but now it's unresponsive. I'm not getting any errors, simply no activity whatsoever.Here's the applicable code:
My document class:
Code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class Engine extends MovieClip
I'm building a drag and drop quiz. each draggable mc (drag#) has a base class of DragDrop. I want to detect when an drag mc has been dropped on a target Code: if(this.hitTestObject(target)) {} And then add a new drag from the drops Array. so that each time a drag finds its target a new one appears. I tried to make a public var named dropped to switch from "yes" to "no" in the drop function. and even tried making the drop function public.
This code is on the timeline stop(); var drag1:Drag1; drag1 = new Drag1; addChild(drag1); drag1.x = 100; drag1.y = 100; [Code] .....
I'm loading a number of MP3 files into my Flash (the number changes dynamically). I would like to be able to say, in total, how much longer all the files will take to load.
I can do this for each individual sound.Mp3.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, test_function);
But each sound is loaded by an instance of my sound loader class, how can I pass the ProgressEvent up to the parent object, and then have it calculate the total time to load?
[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've got a small (more than 100 hours of thinkwork up till now!) problem I can't seem to solve:
I want to populate an external loaded swf with an dynamicly loaded xml fil (loaded from my config.xml).
[Code].....
how do I get the external xml into the external swf as a variable for the actionscript in the external loaded swf (So I just want to put the path in the script in my external swf...).
I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0; //one loader object per project: var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader(); loadingobject1.x = 445;
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 javascript that loads external swf, appending tags "object" and "embed" when page has been loaded. I need to handle event when swf is completely load.
Can an external SWF, loaded using the Loader class, pass info to the host SWF?I am loading an external video player into an interface(host) and would like for the video player to tell the host that the video is done playing so that it can move on to the next one.
I'm having issues with my flash based contact form that uses PHP. My site is set up with a main movie and each page is loaded into that main movie as external swf's. The contact form loads in fine, it allows me to type my name, email, and message and then send. It even responds saying that the function worked and takes me to my success frame label. The email sends but when I open it up in my inbox none of the information is there. My labels are there from the PHP file but none of the information I entered into the form shows up. However, when I reset the paths in the actionscript and just view the swf online directly (not loading it into the parent movie) it works just like above but I can see the information I entered into the contact form, in the email. it works perfectly. so somewhere my actionscript is wrong when it's being loaded as an external swf.
I am trying to load an external swf-movie into my main swf, thou the swf loaded isn't being placed where I want it. So I created a main swf and in that swf I made a new layer and made a rectangle called holder, which holds the different movies being loaded. And then I created a layer made a smaller rectangle called loader which is suppose to load the external swf, but the loaded movie isn't being loaded into the loader-rectangle, it's being placed somewhere else in the main swf, I don't understand why.
However, here comes the code: var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var mclL:Object = new Object(); mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) { loader.percent.text = Math.round((loaded/total) * 100) + "%"; } mclL.onLoadInit = function() { loader._visible = true; loader.percent.text = ""; } mcl.addListener(mclL); mcl.loadClip("news.swf",loader);
I am using a zoom component which i purchased recently to load different external swfs on different button clicks. But instead of loading separate external swfs I would like to load a single swf and go to frame labels - "one", "two", etc. - I've been reading about casting the external swf as a movie clip, but I am confused how this would work with the code I have at the moment.
var image:String="introlocal.swf"; function loadContent () { var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
I have a main movie menu which has sub movies loaded into levels 1 then section 2 into level 2. I have the subs loading on button but i cant get the subs to unload levels 1 and 2 once they have played.
I have my main movie, and from there an external movie is loaded which has a scrollpane on it. Problem is the preloader will not show when the external swf is loaded...when the button is clicked, nothing happens for about 3 seconds and then eventually the scrollpane comes up. I have the preloader on Scene 2, and it works for all my other external swfs so I know its the scrollpane issue.[code]I have tried have the "export to first" frame linkage thing but that doesnt work... does anyone know how best to do this?
I'm loading an external .swf via typing the swf name into an input text field and hitting a submit button.
The swf loads fine, but I'm trying to incorporate updating a status text field on a successful load or if there is an error during loading.
I can't find my mistake in the code - to me it should be making load_status_txt display "ok", but the swf just loads with no status update. All the text fileds are fine, because if I code load_status_txt.text = "hello" straight after addChild(loader); - load_status_txt displays "hello"[code]...
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;
