ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External SWF - Timer Does Not Work
Sep 19, 2011
I have been trying to create a preloader for a quiz I have made, and it causing me crazy amount of stress. The loader its self is very simple....
[Code]...
So there is nothing too strange there.... the problem I am having is that my quiz has a timer on it, and on the first question the timer does not work.. On the odd occasion it does like 2 seconds and then freezes. I am completely lost to why it is doing this! The quiz works PERFECTLY when not being run via the preloader, so it must be related to the loading process itsself.

I have saved a dozen Fonts into separate swf files (embedded in the library of their respective .fla files). I am loading up to four of them and whilst most of them work, the script silently fails for Arial and Times New Roman. These fonts have been embedded and compiled the same as the others, and when I trace the available fonts I get an object saying that the required font has been loaded ([Object { fontName="Arial", fontStyle="regular", fontType="embedded"}]), however the text is not being rendered. If I change which font to use then the text is rendered using the correct font and performs as expected. It is only with these two fonts that I have a problem with.Is there a common problem with embedding these two fonts or is it possible I have changed a setting somewhere?

I have an swf movie embedded into HTML (it's designed to work as a webpage) but for some reason my links to load external swf movies into a placeholder don't work when the main movie is embedded, but are fine in a flash player.

I'm trying to load external images in the usual way;
Code:
loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(_thumb));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadComplete);
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void{
thumb.addChild(loader);
}
But when it comes through to the onLoadComplete Function, I get a sandbox violation. I've tried using Security.allowDomain and a crossdomain.xml file, but it just won't work. Even more annoyingly, if I do the exact same thing, but within the main class file, it works fine.5 or so of these classes that need to load images are loaded from an XML file (which also works fine without allowdomain etc). Is there some sort of conflict going on because of there being more than one of them?

I am (trying) to build a Banner for my companies website in AS3. I am currently using CS5 with the Greensock TweenLite package.
I want product images to slide in from the right of the screen, pause for 5 seconds, and then reverse() out of view.
The 11 different product images are assigned to variables a - j .
I also have an independent timer function that I would like to fire 5 seconds after the image has been on screen.
My problem is that I cant get the Timer to work independently with each function without writing a function for each variable (which pretty much defies the point of functions and variables...amirite?)
Does anyone know the best way to have Flash cycle through each image 1 at a time?
a.reverse() works...but is there anyway to say, like...currentMc.reverse instead?
I've been told a "Loop" may be necessary.

Ive updated to CS5 and now I have problems with the flash I am working on,when I export the timer doesnt work,in stead of saying **mins it just says mn with no number.Ive reloaded flash several times but still doing it,altho once it worked the first time I exported it but not again. No problem on CS4. Im guessing it must be some action script it doesnt like, unless something is corrupt on my computer.

I'm building out the basic code for a timer that does 2 things:Counts down "bonus points" -- 10th of the total milliseconds in the timerCount down seconds and tenths of secondsThe bonus points will tick down along with the time -- this is part of a larger quiz interactive project that I'm putting together.I can't quite figure out the following (my math is bad, I think):Why can't the setInterval fire off in 1 millisecond increments? Is it too fast for the Flash Player to handle?What's wrong with my math for the milliseconds on the time? I'd like to ONLY show 10ths of a second instead of thousandths.

I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?

I have a swf with a slideshow that runs on a timer that I'm loading into my main swf. When I remove the swf from the main swf the timer continues to load the images for the slideshow even though I can't see them on the screen. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to stop the timer once the swf has been unloaded?

I am building a pretty heavy application that allows me to load one or more external swf(s). To remove the swf(s) from the main stage I have built a button. The purpose of this button is that the user has to hold it down for a short while to prevent accidentally removing the swf loaded. In my button class I had set a timer that would start when a MOUSE_DOWN event is fired. The timer itself has an event listener TIMER added that "ticks" every 1 ms. The main problem is that it just doen't do this. The timer function fires at (as it seems to me) much long and random intervals that are also different for each swf that is loaded. So a heavier swf results in the timer being fired even less often and a thus a lot more inaccuracy. Does anyone of you have an idea on how to fix my timer issues or just have a better idea on how to achieve the delay i want to build in the button.

Basically my project is like this, if the time condition is not meet, then it will display a default swf. If meet,then it will unload the default swf and display certain blank swf which will addchild certain image and words based on record in database. Then when the time is reach the end of duration, it will unload the blank swf along with the images and words and upload back the default. how to do in such a way like automatically unload a default swf and load the blank swf along with objects when the time is meet with computer system time and vice versa.

I have a few questions... All of which have to do with this website: [URL] 1) First off, is there any way to pre-load externally loaded .jpg's so that there is no time delay between each background image? (You can see what I mean by clicking the "-" and "+" buttons on the bottom left corner. Here is the code that I'm using for the background images/buttons:

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 am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;
