I have my FLV loaded successfully from an external source, just having trouble displaying it.
[Code]....
Guessing that error is telling me addChild is expecting a different type.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
var videoToLoad:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://ourmediaserver.com/media/video.flv");

Is there any way to display the playback progress of an external loaded .swf file BUT it is not made with timeline animation? I mean I used TweenMax for the animation on the loaded .swf and due to this the totalFrames method doesn't seem to work... Is there any solution for this? (I would prefer not to transform the .swf as an .flv cause I need the interactivity)
Part of my code so far is:
Code:
function swfLoaded(event:Event):void
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackPlayback);
}

What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

Code:
var slideNo:Number;
slideNo = 0;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);

[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:

The Slider (and all UIComponents) rely on direct access to the 'stage' - which is denied due to recent AIR 1.5 security restrictions. This restriction prevents any UIComponent from working when loaded into an AIR app as a local SWF. The parentSandboxBridge cannot return a reference to the stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a site loading a large number of thumbs and even a video at the top. Every once in a while the loader object gets stuck. I have an EVENT.COMPLETE on it and it doesn't appear to get called.
Any help? This appears to happen primarily on the first time loading. I am using Safari on Mac for the browser as well, if this makes a difference
I'm building a product page, here's the setup:
[URL]
On the index.swf is the main navigation that'll open swf's for the different categories. Those products.swf fills with products via php. This is the working code for products.swf:
ActionScript Code:
var t = "";
var cat:String = "products";
[code].....
Now my main issue is, I can't get the product_info.swf right. The problem is I don't know how you can define the products within the products.swf with a name, so you can tell which product you should display in the product_info.swf
I have a class called Bike.as, linked to a movieClip in the library. The class essentially tweens a bike graphic across the stage. At the end of the tween, I instantiate a new class called Slideshow. Slideshow loads an image. The image loads(I get no loading error, and I can trace info about the loaded content)... I just can't seem to see it. In attempting to debug, I wrote the loading code(in Slideshow) into the Bike.as file(replaced the code that instantiates Slideshow), and it worked. Did it work because Bike is linked to a movieclip, and Slideshow is not(Slideshow is called in Bike.as)? I'm attempting to transition from AS2 to AS3. Here's my Slideshow class:
public class Slideshow extends Sprite {
private var container:Sprite;
private var loader:Loader;

I want to display a partially loaded image (as it loads), similarly to how images load on HTML pages.
View 1 RepliesI have multiple movieclips (they all have instance names) and i want to display a text loaded from a xml file. I have loaded the xml file and it work fine but instead of trace the code i want to "eco" display it into my flash file when i click on a movieclip. Here's what i have done until now.
Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

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'm working on a client's website. I use loaders to load various images and then I add them sequentially to the display list. These images include a big (BIG, ie, 6000x1500 , 220kb image) background image.. All of the images being loaded are PNG.. The site is fine and the images are fine/show up on a majority of browsers. However, after trying to view the flash file (at a .swf extension -- not embedded into html yet) on IE6 and on Chrome on only ONE of my laptops, the background .png does not appear and does not seem to have be loaded at all.
I haven't assigned loader listeners (i.e, there is no preloading).. Does the loader class have some sort of size restriction? I think not because it is working on some browsers and not on others. Otherwise, how could the actual PNG be at fault? I've temporarily fixed the problem by importing the background into my library and calling it from the actionscript but I would definitely prefer to load it dynamically or at least know why it is not happening as expected on some browsers/in some cases.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any code that would load a page title when a SWF file was pulled into a browser without any HTML code. Is this possible?

I'm loading an external SWF (pre-made by an other department of the company I work for) using flash.display.Loader. I then traverse the display list, register all objects and listen for added/removed events to handle future changes to the list.
var obj:DisplayObjectContainer = loadEvent.currentTarget.content as DisplayObjectContainer;
var count:Number = obj.numChildren;

Is there a way I can listen for changes to the .visible property? Or any other property (that doesn't fire a built-in event) for that matter?
