ActionScript 3.0 :: External SWF Loading Insanities When Packet Arrived
Jun 1, 2009
My script is loading an external SWF. Everything runs smoothly during the load. But when the packet arrives, I noticed that something else is inside: insanity.
How to reproduce:
- Create two flas
- In the first one, write the following in the first (and unique) frame: //
- In the second one, write the code to load the first:
Code:
trace("1")
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(new URLRequest("Untitled-1.swf"))
stop()
Run the first to produce the swf, then the second. The output will be an endless stream of "1"s, clearly showing that it's looping. But the loader wasn't even added to stage yet and it has no action to play the main movie! And now, for the craziness coup de grace: remove the "//" from the first fla and export it again. Bingo, no more endless loops.

I want to make traceroute in the browser via flash. I asked about ICMP packets, but another alternative would be UDP packets if I could set the TTL. However, I don't see that option in flash.net.DatagramSocket.

I am developing a client in Flash and using http req/resp to communicate with the server. For a while the session works fine and then the connection is terminated by the server. I did a wireshark sniff at the server and the last message which it sends is a RST packet. Also it happens only when I'm using IE and the server and client are in different domains. This does not happen in FireFox. I have been struggling to find a sol, till I found this thread. It's a bit old but I am not sure if this bit of info is important but I am connecting to the server via a gateway.

I have a program in c++ that sends a socket of 23723 bytes to a flash player in one "shot".The flash player sometimes receives two packets of size 17520 and 6203, and other times it receives a single packet of 23723.
EDIT: There does not seem to be a way to obtain the total number of bytes associated with the send data from flash. This would make it very difficult to build a loop to reconstruct the "broken" packet.I thought TCP was supposed to correctly recombine the packets and I am having difficulty recombining them myself.This is my receiving handler in flash:
var socket:Socket = new Socket();
socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, socketConnectHandler);
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketDataReceivedHandler);[code]...
will at times print 23723, and at other times, will print 17520 quickly followed by 6203. The total size are just examples and are subject to change for each send sockets. Also many sockets can be sent or received at the same time, so the split packets can be inter-mixed. In c++ I could determine what the total size of the sent data was, even if I did not receive the whole sent data yet.

So we're trying to come up with a way to automatically assess the "quality" of streams published to an FMS. So far, I've come down to 3 different statistics:
* Round-trip ping time to client (using the Client.ping() method and Client.getStats().ping_rtt.
* A home-grown jitter calculation that compares the deviation between wallclock and media time for an inbound stream, e.g., I get N+/-M seconds of media over a period of N seconds of wallclock time. How big is M on average? (uses Stream.time and Date.getTime()).
* How much packet loss are we getting?
For this third metric, I have the client sending up period reports containing tuples of <media_time, cum_bytes_sent>, where media_time is provided by NetStream.time and cum_bytes_sent is provided by NetStreamInfo.byteCount. I'm then comparing these samples to a similar set of samples obtained on the server via Stream.time and Client.getStats().bytes_in. Unfortunately, these two data sources do not seem to be measuring exactly the same thing. While they are close to each other, the received bandwidth (e.g., measured by the server) always seems to exceed the sent bandwidth (measured by the client) by a small amount (e.g., 0.5% to 2%) on a clean network.
The goal of this whole exercise is to enable to server to automatically detect when a client is having problems (either network or local CPU). Among other things, this will trigger us to tell the client to try sending a lower-bitrate stream.
So, my questions:
* Is there a method for me to reliably calculate (or obtain) a packet loss factor? With something like RTP, I could simply look for holes in sequence numbers, but I don't see any APIs that would give me that sort of information via FMS (our inbound streams are usually RTMFP).
* If there isn't a way for me to get a clean packet loss factor, is there another quality metric I should be looking at?

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

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 created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

I created a site using Kirupa's external .swf loading tutorial. Now in one of my externally loaded .swf's, I am loading another external .swf. I've gotten this to work fine, but the second external .swf (loaded into the first) contains buttons that will swap this second external .swf with another external .swf. I can't seem to get the AS references to the variables set up correctly in order to swap the swf's. The initial .swf loads fine, but the button control gets complicated inside it. It sounds rather confusing, so I've included a link to the .fla's and .swf's below.

everything was going fine on a website project I've been working on, until yesterday. I'll try to explain the whole scenario first, and I'll put the code in here too so anyone can try to figure out what is wrong. Here's the breakdown of the site:
1) There is a MAIN SWF file that plays an intro and then stops on the last frame with the "Main" Navigation buttons.
2) Inside the Root folder where the MAIN SWF resides, there is another folder called "swfs" which contains six main external navigation pages, as well as another folder called "galleries" which contains additional external swf files for six gallery pages.
3) On one of the layers of the MAIN SWF, there is a movie clip called "mySWFLoadingClip" that the "Main" Navigation buttons load and unload the external swf pages onto. These all work perfectly. The problem start on the next step. This is the code I used for the navigation buttons on the MAIN SWF timeline:
[Code]...
If anyone can help me figure this out I would be really grateful. This is a very important project and the deadline is coming up very soon. Please help me figure out how to load an External SWF onto the main time line and then load an additional external swf from within the first external swf. I'm stumped.

I know how to load an external swf file with the following AS3
[Code]...
However, I want to load an external swf that is triggered by a mouse click. I have a button with an instance name if photogallery_btn and I want to apply AS3 to this so when this button is clicked, an external swf is loaded. Can some one please show me how to right this code?
Also, how do you unload a external swf? For example, say I get the code working for the photogallery_btn so when it's clicked, an external swf file is loaded. I would like to know how to unload another external swf file once the photogallery_btn is clicked.

I'm using Flash CS4 and AS2. I have an external swf that works fine, but when I try to load it into another swf part of it doesn't work. The swf that's loading it is in the exact same directory so it's not missing any files. It's a little hard to explain, and would probably be easier if you could see it, however, even zipped the file is rather larger at 23 mb, so I can't attach it.
