ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External SWF's Into A SWF Loader Style?
Nov 13, 2011
I've recently made the switch from as2 to as3 and am still struggling to get my head around one aspect in particular. I've managed to load one external swf into a blank file via the script
import LoadDisplayObject;
var loader:LoadDisplayObject = new LoadDisplayObject("button_01.swf", true);
loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0,
[Code]....
.....however I'm struggling with the script to make a swfs load into a space when one of my 3 buttons is clicked....
My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed.
I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can't find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
Any help much appreciated...thanks in advance.

I'm trying to write a class that will have 3 parameters in a function call to specify: the dynamic textfield, an external HTML file, and an external CSS file. My attempts haven't worked, but I'm not getting many compiler errors. Here's my class file:
Code:
// loadText
// Loads external HTML file and styles it with an external CSS file

I want to change the following code being used to load my external flash swf to an empty swf so that a loader is used instead of loadmovie:
var dewsliderpath = _root._url.substring(0, _root._url.lastIndexOf("/")) + "/dewslider_ori.swf?xml=" + xml;
DewSlider.loadMovie(dewsliderpath);

when I run the code there aren't any errors stopping it from compiling correctly. However when I click on my buttons i get an error saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I'm guessing that I'm passing the variable off through the function incorrectly. I'd like it pass a string though so that I can pass the name of the file to load.
ActionScript Code:
function contentScreen(mcName):void {
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mcName");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

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;

I want my product button to click on it, to load an external sfw into a loader and the text of this external swf too. The text is loading good when i click the swf file on its own, but with the index page not. when i click the product button the loader is loading only the swf file of product but not the text on it. The text is coded to the product swf.This is the code of index Page which i want to load the product page:
stop();
productMenu_btn.onRelease = function(){
myLoader.contentPath = "contents/lingerie/lingerie_page.swf"
}
and this is the code of the product page which is loading on the loader :
stop();
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){

I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days and couldn't find a solution and Im sure its something I have completely overlooked on my part. I'm attempting to load in an external swf in my fla file using this custom loader class I created. I keep receiving this error in an attempt to load the swf, which is in the same directory as my fla file that is loading it:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.
at flash.display::Loader/_load()
at flash.display::Loader/load()
at com.proj.load::SWFLoadClass()
at test_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Code from SWFLoadClass.as:
package com.proj.load {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code] .....
Code in fla file:
import com.proj.load.SWFLoadClass;
var l:SWFLoadClass = new SWFLoadClass("colorPicker.swf", 0, 0);

Using the MovieClipLoader class, what is the difference between loading the external files into a Loader Component or into an empty movie clip. Will one be quicker? They both worked for me, but I've read using the Loader Component is better. Can anyone confirm this? I would think that avoiding components would make things faster/less file size.

I am trying to import a SWF file into a custom loader and then treat the loaded SWF file as a MovieClip object. The code for the functionality can be seen below.
public function loadMyMovie(movie:String)
{
var now:Date = new Date();
var rnd:String = "?randomize=" + now.time;
[Code].....
When I do this I get the following error.
"Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."

I have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.

Sorry for the complicated topic. I got a .swf that loads in other .swfs. Rather than figuring out how to make a loader for loading .swfs I thought I'd just use a simple loader in the .swf I'm loading.
However, it doesn't work. It starts fully loaded but doesn't finish. Heres the AS:[AS]_root.stop();
PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

So i decided to implement some themes in my AIR app. I have converted my CSS files into SWF files, removed the Style linkage from my main file. Based on the user preferences stored in a file, I decide which theme to use. i.e; load the SWF file using StyleManager class.
I made my application window invisible, added a StyleEvent.COMPLETE event listener for the IEventDispatcher object returned by StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations method. After the StyleEvent.COMPLETE occurs, I made my main window visible.
The problem i have now is, for a few seconds, i can see white canvases and all my components without any styles before using the style selected. I want to know if my approach is correct or do I need to make any changes to implement this properly?

I've been trying to develop a simple project to learn how to use external CSS to style a TextBox. I've tried lots of examples and just can't get this to work. Some say use external text files, some put the content text in the actionsript, but my text box still does not style or display the content. to a tutorial (text, not video) that works and is not overly complex?

My application's creationComplete="onInit()" has a lot of processing. Therefore I want to mask the entire application with a lightbox-style loading screen while the processing is being handled. The screen should be dark and a loading animation image in the center. After onInit() is completed the loading screen is removed.My thoughts are to add a UIComponent to the stage, and to remove it at the end of onInit().

Can't get the CSS to style an external txt. Copy loads as supposed to and thru a trace I can see that the css stylesheet is recognized but it won't actually style the text. For instance, <span class="header"> Heading</span>stays at the original font size instead of getting bigger. I'm stumped. Have tried so many things to get this to work. What have I missed?Instance name of dynamic text field = upcom_txt. Text field is on stage. Html,check. Multiline, check.the css style sheet = "CSSs/news.css"my text = "TXTs/upcom.txt"Font = "Alte Haas Grotesk". The font is a font symbol exported from the library of the FLA.

I am trying to style the Alert window on an external file but I get the following warning and the style won't be applied, keep in mind that the Alert is being called from an external AS file as well so the code is not embedded in the MXML.
The CSS type selector 'Alert' was not processed, because the Alert was not used in the application.Type alert in CSS selector 'Alert' must be qualified with a namespace.
Alert{
color : #124332;
background-color: #ffffff;
header-colors : #243322, #243322;

I have an externally loaded .txt file, which has its font style set by the dynamic text object I created. But I was wondering if its possible to control the font style from within the .txt file? I've tried setting the dynamic text object to render as HTML and added some HTML code in the .txt file, but that doesn't work.

Site loads two flash files at the same time with multiple dynamic text fields that load .html files with external css style sheets. The site works almost perfectly when viewed offline, but when you upload it the text boxes sometimes load and sometimes do not. I'm a graphic designer so I really don't know actionscript 3.0 (or any version) very well... so I'm attaching the footer .fla file which by itself suffers from the same problem, and the other files are too big to upload so here is the link to the other .fla file used on the homepage

I've set up a swf with three buttons and when you click on one it loads a different swf and places it into a movie clip. If there's already something in the movie clip it removes it and then replaces it. The problem I'm having is if one of the swfs is very large and for whatever reason someone clicks on a different button where the swf is smaller it will load the smaller swf but continue to download the larger one and when that finishes it will load on top of the smaller one.Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var home:MovieClip = this;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
