ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Content With XML?
Jan 27, 2010
So I know how to load external images via XML, but don't know how to make it so that it can load both movies and images. Right now I can just load images such as .jpg, .gif, and .png.I want to also be able to load movies such as .swf (.avi would be cool if possible but if not, its not a big deal).So basically how do I change the below code so I can also load a movie if I wanted to, instead of the image.Here is my code:
XML code:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

My project has about 400 independent files. It was originally created in AS2 using the following script.
on (release){loadMovie("A_002.swf", _root);}
This same script is used every time I need to load the following .swf movie.I would like to use a similar (equivalent) script using AS3. (Please note that the objective is not to load dynamic content into a particular file as when creating a "Gallery". My objective is for the new loaded movie to applear in its own screen. At the same time the file on scree shall unload completely or disappear.

I am working on a flash project (menu and a few pages) which will be run from a localhost and will load images as well as data from a mySQL tables (Wordpress in fact). As a result each piece of content loads relatively fast, however since I have several things to load on a page, the flash freezes for a second. The general idea is to show a nice short animation at that point to mask the loading and then show the fully loaded page, but the loading causes lag to the entire flash movie, including said animation. Presentation is important for this project but I'm a bit new to AS3 and can't find a working solution. Is there a way to make different movieclips to load their content and do their things independently at lower priority than actions outside of them, so that the global animation goes uninterrupted while the movie clip with the page loads its content.

I have an swf that loads images from a directory within the site. If I click on a link that takes me to the site, the images load. If I then try to refresh, the images no longer load.
Code:
var loaded:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();

var Image1:String = "images/flash/play_9.jpg";

[URL]..the opening squence i suppose it's all just movie tweens between files, but how is this thing done, when you click a button, the middle screen/part of the site, has a transition effect, loads, and there is a new page! i know how to do the transitions, and the loading bar, but how do i exactly tell my button, where to load an external movie file!...
basically, i want it when somone goes to the site, the while site opens, there are transition effects, and three different movies open at three different spots on the site...just like it happens at www.void.com when you enter their site, they got the main window, and the botton right and left windows!

I have a program that plays an FLV using netStream and has cue points embedded which trigger the loading of external graphics. If the code for loading the external graphics is commented out the video plays normally. However, if the code to load the external graphics is left in, each time a graphic is loaded the video appears to stop and start. FYI, I built the program using a FLVplayback instance on stage and there is no glitch when the images load, but I have a lot of other things built using the nestStream class so I'd prefer to do it that way.

I have been searching on how to do this but I haven't found anything that I can use yet. I have a flash template that has about 6 different flash files. There is a menu on the right side that allows you to call the other files like this.

I've devised a preloader using the ui loader and progress bar components in flash cs3. The goal being to load an external .swf into the uiloader and that has been achieved. I'm having problems with the scaling now. In my code I have set the content scaling to "true" and that isn't supposed to cause distortion of any type but it does. It squishes my external .swf in width wise.
HTML Code:
var imageURL:String = "portfolio.swf";
var imageURLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL)
uiLoader.scaleContent = true;
uiLoader.load(imageURLRequest);
progressBar.source = uiLoader;

Weirdness today while trying to get Flash to load some external content (PHP, XML and images). It works fine in everything except Firefox on a PC (Even in IE! What a world! But I digress...). I've got a SWF that loads an external PHP file, along with an external XML file, which in turn references external images to be loaded. When I look at the Net panel in Firebug, it's showing that the SWF is loading, but none of the other external files are getting pulled. Anybody know why? If you want to check it out, the page is here: [URL] I'm also using SWFObject

Is there a way to immediately terminate the loading on an external swf and the loading of that external swf's dynamic content? I've tried the code below in the parent swf, but no success. The external swf's dynamic content continues to load.

I'm having a "problem" with loading an external .swf in my main flash swf movie (which is a website). When the external .swf loads and displays itself on the main swf (website), the complete external swf file is viewable. To clarify: this external .swf has a world map that moves with a tween. If the animation is played within the main swf, I can see the whole world map and not just only that specific part of the world map that is visible on the "original" .swf
Make a mask over the complete external.swf? Where should i make the mask in the external .swf itself or on the movieclip in my main swf (website)?

dim background content after loading an external swf into main swf. I was told that a dark movie clip placed over the whole site but under the external swf with alpha set to 50% would work. I need the background content to dim when the external swf is loaded and then go back to normal when exiting that page link. How can this be done thru xml or actionscript?My website is an xml flash template that loads the text and pictures for the site Thru xml file. Anyone have sample code? I am newbie to actionscript.

I have a menu whee you can choose a picture to lead, works great with first selection, but when you choose a different picture it loads over the last picture,I want to substitute the content of that movie clip not to load all the pictures in the same space. I treid to use clear() and removeChild(), but this only works when I choose pic1 then remove that to load pic2, is there an easy way to substitute the content for the new content?

With AS3 and the loader class and all of that, what's the consensus on best method for loading big SWFs? I looked on the forum and saw a mix of either using the loader class and making one multi-frame swf or using a loader swf and a separate content swf.

I'm loading content through an XML file. Most of the content is working correctly. Flash is creating buttons based on some of the content in the XML file, the rest of the content in the XML file is static text and images.
Everything at first loads fine, the buttons all work, they change the text values but for the life of me I can't figure out why its not changing the image. I tried to create a function to remove the first image then load the new one but that didn't work.
Code:
function DisplayInfo() {
clientwork.txtclient.text = this.client_text;
clientwork.txtlink.htmlText = this.link_text;
clientwork.txtdesc.htmlText = this.desc_text;

I have a loader, and it doesn't seem to be loading my content when I am viewing it on my website. However, when I open up my loader.swf in a browser, it loads up my content once it is done loading.
Loader AS3:
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("slideShow09.swf"));

This is really weird and I have no idea what could be causing this.I have this simple Flash site:
http:[url]....The main interface is loaded, and then it starts to preload a few external JPG images.The problem is that with IE it is taking about FOUR times (or even more) the time to load the same pictures with FF. In a slow connection such as a 128K the main interface takes the same time to load either on FF aswel IE - about 5-10 seconds. Then, it starts loading the external pictures - in FF it will take about 20 seconds more and in IE it will take about 80 seconds more. It is clear to me that the problem is not in the site loading itself, but in the contents loading. I can't see what in the browser could be interfering in the SWF, unless that the IE Flash plugin have some known (or unknown!) bug regarding to MovieClipLoader!
The only thing I can have in mind, is that I am not terminating the listeners in the onLoadComplete events, so theoretically they would be keeping the CPU busy even after the pictures finish to load (I spawn about 30 listeners, one for each picture). However, I doubt that this is the reason or else it would make FF slow down too, indeed? Also I noticed that when running the application in the authoring environment (control+ENTER) but loading contents from remote server, it have the same behavior as when loaded within IE (slow loading).
