ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading SWF From Another One (Replacing)
Jul 28, 2011
I have a main shell swf file that has two buttons on it that should each launch/load their respective swf files (tool1, tool2). These should essentially replace the main swf file. Also, I have a button on tool1 & 2 that should bring you back to the main menu. All these files are then compiled into an exe. Seems easy enough, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.
So far I have:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
tool1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoTool1);
function gotoTool1 (e:MouseEvent):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("tool1.swf"));
}

I'm working on a project for the new year gathering at our work. I made an application in which you can type a wish for the company and when you send it your message will be displayed in an dynamic text field and in the background fireworks are launched. These fireworks are external swf files, made in adobe after effects. They are launched when clicking a button. They are played at random. However, after playing 2 or 3 they start slowing down, probably because they stack on each other. I need the new swf to replace the old swf, now my application keeps loading new swf on top of each other.

I would like to have flash (as3) to save a var to a text file located on my server so everyone can reach it from their client swfs. I also need to know how to update this variable by loading latest var on the server and writing over it with a new updated var I've read so much already and it all seems so confusing[URL]

I would like to, whenever I feel like it, be able to load that var and replace it with something else.
edit: has to use "w w w" instead of "www" as it told me I needed to have made 50 posts to be able to post links, and I've only done 19 so far

I am loading in new swfs using the comboBox component which is all working fine with the following code:
HTML Code:
comboListener = new Object();
comboListener.change = function(evtObj){
_root.empty_holder.loadMovie(evtObj.target.text + ".swf",3);
}
myComboBox.addEventListener("change",comboListener );
What I want to do is instead of it loading into the empty_holder MC, load straight in to replace the parent swf.The reason being that all the buttons underneath, in the parent swf are still active when the new one loads in. If a completely new swf cant be loaded, is there some code that can just deactivate the parent swf?

I am trying to do something that seems like it should be relatively easy. Well bang goes that theory. Here is what I am trying to do. I have the path to a group of images stored in an xml file. I want to load them to a movie clip on the stage. doing this directly by reading the xml file and using loadMovie("filename"); bsaically does what I want it to do with just a few problems, 1. the movie repeats so the same image is pulled from the server multiple times sucking up bandwidth. 2. On slow connections the images can sometimes load slow making the movie not display properly. What I would like to do is load all the images into some structure and add the images to the movieclip in the time line when needed. How does one accomplish this in action script 2.0?
In a perfect world, I would just load all the images to an array and load the array element to the movieclip on the stage.

I am trying to use sIFR to replace the headlines (e.g. The Tour of A Lifetime) on this page: [URL] The font I want to swap in is Verlag by hoefler & frere jones. I had this working the other day but it suddenly stopped working: the font does not replace. All the js/css/flash files are linked correctly. I tested my verlag.swf and it works. And, I tested sIFR with a different font and the replacement worked. Am I having issues because I have yet to buy a Verlag license for the server?

I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.

I have a website which needs to 3 images into 3 movieclips when the page loads. The page gets the URLs for the 3 images from an XML document, ie.
<imgurl>graphics/panda.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda2.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda3.jpg</imgurl>
What I want to do is make a function which gets the image URL for each image and puts them into a target movieclip each. In AS2, the loadMovie function could do this. In AS3, I've figured out how to add an image to a movie clip, like this...

I'm creating a platforming game, and I have a fun little water thing set up. My goal is to be able to drag a water object from the library to the scene, and have the water physics kick in when the game starts.
To do this, I made the water object a black line, because width is necessary to know how wide I'd like the pool to be. Within the class I have a heightmap, so then I can connect all the heights together with lines using the drawing API.
The problem is, I can't get the original black line to disappear while still displaying the new lines and points Setting the alpha to 0 will permanently make everything invisible. I'm kind of new to this so maybe it's a dumb question.

I have absolutely no knowledge in Regex whatsoever. Basically what I'm trying to do is have an error class that I can use to call errors (obviously) which looks like this:
package avian.framework.errors
{
public class AvError extends Object
{
[Code].....
The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.
I've done a bit of research and I think I've worked out that I need to search using this pattern:
var pattern:RegExp = /{d}/;

There's a SWF file on one page that, when you click on a 'Start' button loads some image. The URL to this image is passed as a SWFObject variable. I would like to change this image to one I have uploaded on my host. have tried setting a breakpoint on the line that pushes the image URL variable to the object and setting my URL, but the image wouldn't load because of cross-domain policy.Now I am thinking of writing a simple c# proxy which will return my image instead of the real one when Flash requests it .To sum it up, I want to replace an image that SWF loads from a constant URL to a custom image of mine. Decompiling is not an option.

Iv created a class file which watches for users typing in a web address in a textField. If the user types an add, i want to change it to a web address.
Once i register the address had been typed i take a note of the start and finish position of the text within the text area and use:
ActionScript Code:
textArea.replaceText(st,en,hypLink);
were:
st = starting position of text to be replaced (ie. www.google.co.uk)
[Code]....
i can refresh the text and the link apears. The only problem with doing this is, it you lose any other htmlText within the text area.
how to replace the text so it comes in as html?

I have a lot of bitmaps in my library, used by several movieclips.Now I got a new bitmap, and I want it to replace all the other bitmaps.
For example, I have 20 movieclips that internally use 20 different bitmaps. Now I want to replace all these different bitmaps to a single new bitmap.I don't want to go after each movieclip and replace manually the instances of the bitmaps, because there is a large number of them.

What I've got is a holder swf that loads in a separate swf. Within this loaded swf there is a button, that when pressed, removes itself (as in, the swf the button is placed within is removed) from the holder swf and loads in a new swf.
This seems incredibly complicated to achieve, at least I think it is
What I've got so far is this, the holder swf...

Your xml image gallery is a sweet piece of work, and I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.
So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.
