ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Check If Child Loaded Or Not
Apr 15, 2009
I am building a website in which the nav bar has an animation on the "home" frame and not on the others. It works all nice until I come back to "home" and then my nav bar bugs. So I am thinking the best way to "refresh" the nav bar would be to removeChild(); and then add it again... but then when I go to the other frames (pages) it disappears. If I run addChild(); to every pages.. then it duplicates it and becomes buggy. Is there a way to run an if() function that would check if the nav bar is already there and addChild only if it is not there?

I have a parent swf with three buttons: next button, back button, ticker on/off button.I have three child swfs, each with a ticker mc. When I click on ticker button on parent swfit dispatches a custom event which brings ticker MC on stage and thus ticker becomes visible (ticker off button displaces it out of stage by changing the value of ticker_mc.y).
the problem I am facing is when ticker is on and I click next or back button to load next or previous child swf, the ticker goes off. How can I make sure that ticker is on all the time and closes only when I close it. How can a loaded child swf 1 communicate to next child swf, child swf 2, which is currently not loaded, that since the ticker is on on swf 1 so you please keep the ticker on on swf 2 as well?!
I think I know the problem. I have put a default value of ticker_mc = 160 (makes ticker inactive) on every child swf. So, the ticker becomes inactive everytime I load a new child swf. If someone could guide how can I do this, my problem will be solved: When first child swf is loaded, the default value of ticker_mc.y should be 160. I want to hold this value in a variable. When I click ticker active btn, position of ticker_mc changes to 194 so the value of variable should change to 194. When I click next btn, the variable value (160 or 194) should be sent to next child swf and ticker_mc.y should be equal to variable value.
This is the code so far
"Next button"
go_mc.next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext);
function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (swf_no < (clips.length-1)) {

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

I'm working on building a gallery, but I've run into a slight snag. The full-size images are not all the same size. In the showPicture function, is there a way for it to check to make sure there isn't an image already loaded, and if there is, to remove it before adding the new one? [code]...

I have a movieclip(parentMC) which consists of several other movieclips(childMCs). Each childMC can trigger an event, and each event performs a different function. I want to check from my parentMC whenever there is an event triggered by any of its child.

I an running a website in flash and whenever the user comes onto the page, if he clicks a button before the SWF has loaded the file acts strange sending them to the wrong page. I am almost certain that the solution to this would be to halt my actionscript until the entire file has loaded in the browser.

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]...

Here is what is happening:
1. click on a thumbnail and an image loads from the library
2. click on a different number and another image loads from the gallery
I don't know how to remove the first image that is loaded.
The images load on top of each other. How can I check if there is already an image loaded? and if there is an image loaded how do I remove that image and load the next image? I'm sure it is a boolean thing but I can't figuare it out.[code]...

I am trying to make a quiz work online. At the moment pupils can start playing before all the questions are loaded and it mucks it up. I tried putting a 'loading question' frame in. In this I put a movie clip with only made a continue button appear after 30 seconds. But this is not practical as all servers take a different time to load. I know I need to put in a loop but am having problems and would be grateful for help.
I have the questions saved as 15 notepad files in a folder. The folder is named Women. When they choose this topic they press a button with this code.

Is there a way to check if a movie clip has already been loaded, and then skip it if it has? Attached is my swf. The front info text should only fade away once, not every time someone clicks on a button. Once they're already in a gallery, it shouldn't come up again.

I'm doing a friends photograpy site that has a slideshow. [URL] This slideshow is loaded into a containerclip on the mainstage. Another container clip loads the site content (services, contact etc.) But the site also has a gallery which unloads the slideshow mc, as the gallery takes up that place too. Now... i need the buttons for Services, Contact etc to check if the slideshow mc is loaded into the holder clip, and if not then load it aswell as the related content. I need it to check if the slideshow is already loaded, so i don't reload the slideshow everytime a button pressed. Something like:
services.onRelease = function(){
loader.loadMovie("services.swf");
if(loaderSlideshow.movieisLoaded == false) {

is there a way to capture the Error loading message as a boolean when loading an external file (AS2)? I wanted to make a decision based on the success for loadMovieNum.
The scenario is that I have a file that I am loading with loadMovieNum and all is working successfully.
The circumstance I wish to cover is if the file is missing for any reason, I want to load a placeholder movie.
I have looked at onLoad and onClipEvent(load) but these appear to only be for movieclips and not external files.

I need a fairly foolproof way to check from a child swf whether it is loaded into a container swf through a loader object or if it is just loaded through html. I would like to do this without requiring a flashvar or any kind of function call from the parent swf that may be there. Any quick and simple solutions? I looked for something with loaderinfo but came up empty.

Just starting to delve into as3. I have made a flash website with four navigation buttons (home, products, about, contact). When user clicks on "products", an external movie clip is loaded and everything works fine. User clicks any button after that, and myLoader.unloadAndStop, the swf is removed when you navigate away from "products". However, if the "home", "about", or "contact" buttons are clicked first (before the external swf has been loaded), it of course, throws the 1009 error.I need some sort of if/else statement to check whether or not the external swf is loaded, remove it if it is, and if not, just navigate to the "page" clicked.[code]

I have a menu nav that loads swfs into a container clip. Once the swf loads, the menu nav unloads and is replaced by a page-specific nav. If the user clicks on the menu button, the page-specific nav is unloaded and replaced by the menu nav. ...this is to toggle back and forth between the two nav menus, as I'm sure you've noticed
Once a swf has loaded and if the user loads the menu nav, the option to load the same swf (current swf) appears. Rather than reload the current swf, is there anyway I can have the button check if that specific swf is already loaded and if so, not load it again?[code]...
