I'm using AS3. I have multiple swf files to load in an array, and then play them from a master swf file. I've found scripts that can do that, but I can't find one to continuously loop through the swf files. I need a script that can load multiple swf files, then loop through them all. This is for a tradeshow display that needs to run all day. They are large files, so memory is a concern.

I have several SWF files which are essentially little trivia files, provided to me by a 3rd party. They are individual files that number about 20. I am wondering, how can I play this as a list; like a playlist, and then loop back to restart? I'd like to do this in the stand alone player however it can only seem to load 1 file at a time. How I might look to accomplish this looping playlist?
View 1 RepliesI have two flash files that I would like to play back to back in the same location on my site. I would like one to play, and then when it's done, I want the other to play in its location.
I googled around and read up on the loadmovie variable, which I thought that is what I needed, but it isn't working.
To start out, what I did was create a new flash file, then I inserted an image into the timeline on its own layer, converted it to a movie clip (named pic_mc), did a fadeout effect on that image, then I created a new layer, and on the frame directly after the image, I put the following:
Code:
loadMovie("/images/preferred-reseller-hosting-0001.swf", "pic_mc")
I then ran a test (ctrl+enter) and all I see is the fade out image, and not the other flash movie. I even uploaded the .swf to my site and tested it there in a real world situation, and it didn't work. It just fades the image out and restarts the movie.
I have a series of animations of graphs etc in different flash files. Tried to put everything on the one timeline but was getting way too confusing so thought I would put each part in a separate flash file.
What I want to do is, once one file has come to an end load the next one up to play and so on. This is all part of a presentation so the user will click the keyboard to progress to the next file.
I'm using Flash CS4 on a Mac with Action Script 3.0.
I have created a number of flash files, and now want to combine them all into one single movie file. For example, the files run like this: section1.swf - section2.swf - section3.swf - section4.swfI have created a 'host' file, to load the individual files, but I want to play these files in sequence. So that at the end of section1.swf, section2.swf will play and so on.... Can anybody guide me as to what is the most straightforward method of doing this? I have little or no knowledge of actionscript so the simpler the better for me

View 1 RepliesI have a flash "hear from the experts" video in which multiple speakers discuss an issue. I have it set up so you can listen to each speaker one at a time, however, I don't know how to pause and play each speaker so if you wanted to pause it and return or pause it and start a different speaker, you could do that and then resume where you left off. It would be even cooler if I could add some sort of status bar that shows how far into the audio you are, and you could skip ahead. I uploaded the file in CS3 - I had to actually delete the MP3s that are triggered to play on each play button in order to make it small enough to upload, but if you look at the code you can see it there.

View 9 RepliesI need some help. I want to use several swf files and have them be called upon in a container file and play them in sequence. It's a presentation that needs to play thru but still have the ability to stop, click on items, open a popup and then continue on in the presentation. I am building all the individual "chapters" and their "sub-chapters" as swf files, with the hope that I can load them in order. I am relatively new to AS3.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a .swf (a game, with three total .swf files: main, title, game) onto my site and am having a problem. I understand how to actually do it and make it run (publish as HTML, copy/paste code in Dreamweaver, etc..), but my problem is having multiples .swf files and them not loading. When I embed code for one of the files, the page will play that .swf file and won't load the next .swf file (Main just contains a loader that loads title, Title will load the game .swf when prompted, Game will run). If I just 2x click the .swf files in my folder it will work, as will an .exe, but can I make it so each .swf file will play in HTML?
View 12 Repliesim making a little flash game and im wondering if this is possible.. I want to (just because) create one file which contains all the data that i want to load into my flash movie.
say i place all the files/sounds/external swf's in one folder and sort them how i like.. Then i zip that folder and place it on my webbserver.
is it now possible to load in that zip file and retrieve the contents of it using only flash?
it offcourse does not have to be zip format.. i just want that general concept.
var myObjArray = new Array;
myXML = new XML();
myXML.load("test.xml");

I'm new to the group and to Flash coding. I'm working on a proof of concept for work and I am completely stumped.

I would like to create multiple swf files that play from beginning to end, then load the next one without users clicking buttons. For example, I may have files A, B, C, D, E, and F. A plays and loads B. B playes and loads C. C plays and loads D..... until F finishes playing then loads A and it starts all over. What is the best way to approach this?

How to load multiple XML files and know when all loaded
I load several XML files at the start of my AS code. Using addEventlistener/Event.Complete for each URLloader I call upon functions to get data from the respective XML files.
Like this:
// Loads themes from XML file themes.xml
themeLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, getThemes);
themeLoader.load(new URLRequest("themes.xml"));
[Code]....
In those functions I call other functions to start my application.
The problem is that if some XML file (like cats.xml above) has not been loaded before I call MainShow(), I get errors since MainShow() also uses data from the cats.xml. Thus I would need to somehow wait for all my XML files to be loaded before I start up my application.
How can I do this in a convenient way?
Anyway i want to try load multiple movieclips using a for loop and displaying them in different spots.
Code:
for(i = 1; i < 5; i++){
createEmptyMovieClip(["target"+i] , i);

First of all , how can i change that "stub1.swf" to change its value like stub1.swf, stub2.swf stub3.swf etc. Also, it doesnt seem to create multiple movieclips; it only makes the one.
I have 2 buttons in my AS3 project that load .mp3 files and then play them. I have 2 buttons that switch between those files that aren't working. I get an error saying:
Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at flash.media::Sound/_load()
at flash.media::Sound/load()
at player_fla::MainTimeline/playMusic1()
I'm thinking that means the file isn't loaded before it tries to play, is that right? How can I check to see if the file is loaded before playing?
Here is my code:
function playMusic1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
channel.stop();
channel2.stop();

View 6 RepliesI have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?
View 1 Repliesi want to load 4 different .swf at the time while my Intro is playing on the index page. yes now thats the catch. i am working with html. NOT the whole website is in flash. everything is fragmented and separate.[code]this is the website (lets consider so) and while my intro finishes loading and starts playing, i would like all the other 4 "SF*.swf" should be downloaded in the temp files of user comp, if done so successfully, while browsing through the individual html pages, they will not face the loading bar again n again (which becomes irrirtating for the user if they have to wait for each page and look at the % of bytes being downloaded )
1. is it possible to download all these individual swf files in the temp folder of the user comp?
2. if so, HOW?
I'm trying to use one html page to load multiple swf files and I can't figure out the correct code to do it.Basically, each main page in my navigation is a separate swf.I need the swf files to be able to load seamlessly over one another.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?
