ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading An External .swf Then Referencing To It's Label?
Aug 25, 2008
I'm new with Actionscript and am currently working atbuilding a website. I've got a lot figured out so far but oneproblem I'm running into is when I try to load an external .swfusing the loader component and then reference it or try to point toit within my main .swf I can only load the "gallery.swf." throughmyLoader.contentPath = "gallery.swf";I'm trying to load it and then point to a specific label soit loads that frame or label. I've created separate labels for eachimage in my gallery so that when I point to them with AS, it knowswhich image to load. It worked when I had the gallery in the main.swf but when I used the loader component it didn't work.The AS I used that worked before I made a separate .swf andused a loader was:
on(release) {
_parent._parent._parent.photos_MC.gotoAndPlay("img1");
}
[code]....

I have a button on the main timeline. When clicking it, I would like to move the main timeline to a frame label called "history" and load and play a movie clip called "slideshow1".
I have the "gotoAndPlay" code working properly but can't seem to get the external swf "slideshow1" to load and play.
I've inserted the following code into the frame label "history" actionscript.
var myrequest_history:URLRequest=new URLRequest
("http://floramultimedia.com/musicGarden/main/swfs/slideshow1.swf");
var myloader_history:Loader=new Loader();
myloader_history.load(myrequest_history);

I have this issue with action script I've written (AS2), it is simple movement code for an on-screen character.
I have a character set up with a hierarchy of nested movie clips and frame labels.
Main character MC (1 frame, no label)
|
Front/Side/Back pose MCs (several separate frames, with labels, no animations)
|
Animation MCs for single pose (e.g. idle, walk, crouch, etc) (several separate frames, with labels)
I want to reference the child frame labels with gotoAndStop ('Front.walk'), or similar...
Here is the code I have now:
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function ()
{
[Code]....
The problem is, as soon as the character moves one direction and changes to the desired pose, when I try to go the opposite direction... the pose doesn't change to the opposite direction frame label. So it only works once, and stays on that child frame label.
Is there a problem with the way I'm referencing the child frame labels?

How do I reference the root frame label in a function for event dispatching using a switch statement.
SUMMARY: This is simple, but as I've stepped away from ActionScript for too long, I'm having trouble figuring out the proper test expression to reference the root timeline frame label (e.g., switch(the root frame label)).
Nothing i've tried works:
switch(this.label)://obviously this would look at the button timeline switch(event.root.label)://player says there is no "root" property ...
STRUCTURE: I have five MCs, one on each of five frames. I have a forward button and a back button. I created a switch statement to specify different actions, based on the root frame label. Frame labels are f1, f2, f3, f4, fend.
THE RELEVANT CODE on Frame one ("f1"):
Code:
stop();
nexter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNexter);
nexter.buttonMode = true;

I'm having problems referencing the stage from an external class. I've tried :
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp, false,0,true);
And also
Code:
MovieClip(parent).addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown, false,0,true);
But no luck. Can I not do this? I'm making a pencil class that I want to be able to reuse. I also tried "this" and while it didn't throw and error, it didn't work either.

I am getting an error that says that 'text_so' is an undefined property and that I can't access it. Yes, I have not declared 'text_so' in 'Reciever.as'. However it is the shared object instance from the 'Text_SO.as' file. How do I reference it from the 'Reciever.as' so that I won't get this error anymore?

I have made a .swf that references an external .f4v . The swf plays fine on my own computer, but does not play on a colleagues computer, or another computer which we tested. The file is not for upload to web , it is for local playback. I assume this is a file path issue, but I have tried many different things including specifying a path and then recreating the same directory structure on the other computer. What am I missing? The f4v file can playback on the colleagues computer (I did install ffdshow , although another tested mp4 also plays back fine) but not the .swf. !

I have a media player that I am codging together, one that will play either videos or MP3s depending on the variables it is passed. The video player part works fine. The MP3 player controls are all actual physical MCs on the stage; each one has its own AS class file as part of the package, but there is also a lot of AS that is happening in the main FLA as well. Messy, I know, but it mostly works great.
The MC on the stage in the main FLA is properly linked to the class file via Actionscript linkage, and the control itself works. However, I am trying to make some aspects of the control respond to variables that are set within the AS on the timeline of the main FLA, and I cannot seem to pass values to the control no matter what I do.

So I am using the following code to load an external swf and am trying to reference the timeline of the loaded movie i.e. a frame label. Say I wanted to do a simple gotoAndPlay what is the syntax? I would use (myloader.gotoAndPlay ("framelabel") this seems like an obvious answer but doesn't seem to work for me.
Code: Select allfunction yesClick(event:MouseEvent){

I am trying to load an image in to a dynamically created movieclip, which is:
_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i
but I can't seem to reference it. I can load the movie into _root.mySlider, but if I add the dynamic element (stripX2(band[i][0])+i) without quotes it it doesn't load. If I load with quotes i.e.
"_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i
flash doesn't allow strings in movieClip variables.The code I'm using is belowm, it's the second to last line thats causing the problem:
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> target_mc._width: "+target_mc._width);[code]......

I have 2 swfs. One called "loves.swf" that contains 4 buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, it opens up an with an external swf, called "about_loves.swf". I would like to make each button go to a different frame labeled in my external swf. Currently, when you click on any button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4), they just play frame 1 from the external swf, "about_loves.swf".I would like btn2 to play frame 2 of "about_loves.swf", btn3 to play frame 3 of "about_loves.swf" and btn4 to play frame 4 of "about_loves.swf".here is my code so far:
// these two lines are needed only once, so here they are:
import local.display.ShadowBox;
ShadowBox.initialize(stage);

I have a scroll menu as a ScrollPane component with menu buttons which take the user to a spacific frame lable within an external SWF (which is loaded form a main SWF already) My code for the botton is:
on (release){
_root.badges.gotoAndPlay("executive");
}
badges is the SWF name loaded as external SWF from a main stage (call this main.SWF) where the menu sits as well. "executive" is the frame label I want the timeline of badges.SWF to go to when you click the button, but this does not work?
It was working when I have this on another flash file. I recently had to move this into another flash file its still the same setup as in the other flash file, there is a loader clip and menu on the main timeline of my main.SWF and all it has to do is go to a specific frame label within the loaded external SWF from the main timeline of the main SWF.

I am trying to load external files from flash but I also need to do it using a variable that gets the frame label which is the same as the file name something like:
var myVariable:String = frame.get(framelabel);
and then use this code each time I get to a different frame label to load an external file for example when I am on frame "Boy", It loads Boy.jpg or Boy.txt.

I am using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.
I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
