Is it possible to load an external SWC file (at runtime) and place them at the stage? Is it possible to refer to them by strings? For example: var sprite = getExternalLibrarySprite("sprite_name")?
View 4 RepliesWe have a large flash site which is translated into 11 languages. We have a font loading system whereby all the characters required to display the site in each language are embedded in external swfs (so 11 swfs).recent update to the site requires us to use the Text Layout Framework (TLF) for one area of text display, which of course only supports fonts embedded in the new CFF format. I've attempted to embed a second instance of the font using the tag embedAsCFF="true", and after loading in the font SWF I can see this font is correctly registered as it shows up in the array returned by Font.enumerateFonts.The TextFlow instance I am using has the following properties set:
textFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
textFlow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
textFlow.fontFamily = "HeadingFontCFF";

I was wondering is there a way to load images at run time that are loaded from an external webhost. Basically i want to be able to store the addresses of the images into an array and then each slide is going to contain 1 image, which will load the next image in the array when the user clicks the next button.
I'm fine with getting the array setup etc, but need to know is it possible to use web addresses and load images at runtime?? Aswell as defining a size and position for where the image will appear.
I'm not sure if Flash 8 supports this loading on the fly so the speak?? Basically I will update the images when required by replacing them with the same name and address where the photos are being hosted, but the program will still load from the same address, therefore showing the updated images.
i'm trying to hardcode a complicated looping movement of an mc on the stage. the way i plan to deal with it is first, to use a guide layer to actually tell the mc where to go, and then save at runtime the sequence of position (x/y coordinates) the mc goes to to follow the movement. With this set of coordinates, i will reproduce the movement via actionscript instead of guiding.
how i can output those variables into an external txt file from flash at runtime ?

I'd like to load external .swf file after clicking a button, so the new file replaces current one which is pretty much the same but in different language. Here is the file http:[url].... I'd like the little red&white button to do the work.I though this code would do the job, but something is missing here:
FlagPL_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, webEng);function webEng(event:MouseEvent):void{windowLoader.source="AyeAyeMedia FOTO VIDEO AUDIO
I have external actionscript files that I call like this:
#include "../events/allevents.as"
But if I want to inport the full URL i.e. #include [Url] it does locate the file although it is the correct URL. How can I set this up so it always calls the server as and not my local as file
I am building a SWF player which loads external SWF's. Rite Now. I could call the external SWF using URLRequest.
but I am getting 2 problems How to run the SWF with the frame rate of the actual SWF movie. How can I know the frameRate of external SWF dynamically from within AS3. I have set a layer of 450px by 350px. How do I scale the external SWF with showall property to fit in the layer.
loading another file, in this case an .spt file. how start this code. Its a file that can be loaded from any PC and not just a file in the same folder, I don't think using a URLLoader would work, because the .spt would have to be in the same folder, and thats not what I need.
View 0 RepliesIs there a way to _xscale and _yscale external .swf after loading them? Is there a way to 'talk' to the external .swf file after loading and placing it on the stage? By this I mean: will I be able to send variables/commands/functions back and forth from the playing movie and the external .swf file?

I tried using the tutorial on kirupa.com with using a .php file to act as a "middleman" for this. First I tried the tutorial at Adobe's website but that had no effect, and neither did the tutorial on Kirupa... Mind you I've tried this locally and it worked fine, when i upload it to the web it never loads the xml file.
I attached the .fla and .php file to this post, you can see the .swf at work (rather, not working) at:

I'm having a problem loading external swf files into a main Swf file. For example i'm working on my companies website, i created a slideshow with thumbnails. Within this slideshow, there is a stop and pause slideshow buttons. The main SWF file is my navigation buttons that call for each category (external SWF file). if i play the side show when i click on another category another slideshow swf file opens, but the slidshow plays automatically, when it isn't supposed to play automatically. After that i can't pause the slideshow. I was wondering why it was doing this. But if i load a SWF file and not play the slidshow and choose another catgory everything is ok.
View 3 RepliesI have seen a tutorial on this, but it was very un-thorough and it didn't have it the way I was looking at. Is there any way to load individual variables from a .txt file, like so:

enemy2=10

It's done in some other Flash games and in Soldat, and it would make scripting ALOT easier as I can change all of the variables without loading Flash.
I've been going through online tutorials and so forthand yea I'm still a newb. I have a flash site I'm designing and this is probably a simple answer. I've figured out how to incorporate the external flashes using buttons and loader, please see the script below. The main problem I am having is I want to load my 1.swf file as the main home page. When I load the flash is comes up empty instead of loading the swf file when the flash is first opened. I can use the button to load it back, but how do you get it to appear once the flash is initailly loaded instead of just pulling up a blank page?
Code:
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.home == Number(this.home)){

I have a main flash file coded in AS3. This file acts like a container that loads on different AS2 files depending on user selection. This container file is set to fullscreen mode and the stage is aligned to center if the user screen is too wide.
The problem here is that when it loads the AS2 file, it causes the container stage to align left. I tried loading an external test AS3 SWF and it loads fine. Only when it comes to loading the AS2 files will the stage aligned left. I suspect is the AS2 files have its stage aligned to left and I don't have access to these AS2 FLA files. I only have the SWFs. Is there anyway I can control this from the AS3 code?

what ultimately I want is to click a button and text will be displayed in the text field loaded from an external .txt fileI've adapted some code i found online:

myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

I've got a problem loading an external text file into a text field.The text field is named: myTextField_txt.It's Dynamic and multiline. I want it to load a text file called: myText. txt. It's in the same folder as the flash file.This is the code I currently have on my text fields key frame:[code]After moving some code around I managed to stop any error messages. But the text will not show up in the text field.
View 4 RepliesSo, I can't remember and it's not working. I basically want to add this to my text file:

Which obviously doesn't work. what's the easiest way add HTML tags to a TXT file without changing the way the files being loaded too much?
var filename:String="text/home.txt";
var loaderText:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(filename);
function loadFile(filename:String):void {
myRequest.url=filename;
loaderText.load(myRequest);}
loadFile("text/press.txt");
My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.
In my flash, the socket server returns some xml data that I need to parse, but it seems that the only way to start the XML object is with the XML.Load() which loads an external file, but my XML file is already loaded into a variable

msgArea.htmlText += "update remote player loc";
var playerLocXMLOb = new XML(msg);

I have been searching for information regarding the use of loading an external xml file from a variable (string) that contains the location of the item and passes it to the document class.
I receive the following error:
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/xmikxm0/My%20Documents/workingDocuments/freelance/brightStar/webSiteStructure/core.swf contains invalid data. at BuildSiteElements/::frame1()[BuildSiteElements::frame1:2]

ActionScript Code:
/* variables to load XML */
var BuildItems_obj:BuildSiteElements = new BuildSiteElements();

fla is in same folder as class and the fla compiles the swf in another location (outside the folder and pulls xml from the xml folder).
