ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swf / Resizing
Sep 27, 2010
I'm loading external swf into my main project for sub sections to keep size down.My main project is 1280 x 700px in size.In those sub-section I have some content with a scroller.When I load the swf and check the size its ok. But as soon as the scrollbars is initialized scroll bar is initialized the size of the external includes the text that goes off-stage for the sroller.I can resize it propotionaly when after its loader because i have the correct values. But if the user resizes his browser I get the wrong values and my resize code doesnt work because it's height is now incorrect.So is there a way to not include the off-stage elements to count as the height ?

When I load an external SWF into a container (be it a sprite or mc), and then retrieve the contentLoaderInfo for 'height' and 'width', and attempt to resize the either the SWF (loader content) OR the Sprite/MovieClip to a smaller size, using the loaderInfo to maintain aspect ratio, it resizes all the elements that are offstage as well.

My main swf is 960x600 and loads full screen. it is a projector or swf, local. I have the code on frame 1 to ensure full screen and show all:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Then I load an external swf into a mc, and it goes full screen as expected. BUT the main swf that loaded that external one, at the time of load, suddenly gets scaled back down to its normal size: 960x600, on the top left corner of the Player Window (or the full screen), so somehow at 0,0. Whn I unload the external swf, I can put the code stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to get it back to where it was. But unfortunately I have some buttons from the Main swf that are supposed to be on top of the loaded one, and should stay where they are. But now they all move because of this scaling down.
the mc that is being used as a container for the loaded external swf is an empty mc located at 0,0. The external swf has the same size as the main one: 960x600
I searched and tried things but could not get it to stay in show-all mode when loading this external swf...

I'm using the following code to load an swf in a pure actionscript project (Flex Builder 3)
_loader = new Loader();
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, Loader_Complete);
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, Loader_Init);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Skins/TestSkin.swf");
_loader.load(request);
[Code]..
I have seen examples online where people say these work for them but whenever I set width or height in any of these ways, the loaded swf is simply not displayed at all.

I am trying to preload some external swf's which are controlled by some mc buttons.
Theres 5 external swf's that play if there button is pressed.
ie press button 1 watch swf 1, press button 2 watch swf 2.
on mc buttons im using this
ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("grow");
}
[Code]....
Ive had a look on the forum for answers how ever they all seem far to complex and seem to have so many more functions. I just want some basic code that loads the swf's and resizes them to fit the player.

This code works. It puts my external image on the stage:
Code:
var pngurl:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image.png");
var pngloader:Loader=new Loader();
pngloader.load(pngurl);
this.addChild(pngloader);
This code works to, but not completely. It stores the same image inside of a movie clip that I've named "panel". However, the image is bigger than "panel":
Code:
var pngurl:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image.png");
var pngloader:Loader=new Loader();
pngloader.load(pngurl);
panel.addChild(pngloader); //panel is the name of my movieclip
I almost fixed my problem by changing my code. My image is smaller than "panel" now, but its width and height should be the same as "panel":
[Code] .....
(Original image size= 350width and 250height) (Panel size=100width and 100height)

Using AS2 and Flash 8.I'm currently looking for a way to display a image file that is outside of the .swf in my Flash program,including a way to resize it.I just looked through the options of using the Loader component with the .contentPath function. Even though this method displays the image perfectly, I can't for the life of me figure out how to resize the Loader.
Code:
image_number = 0;
initialization={autoLoad:true,contentPath:"",scaleContent:true};
image_number++;
[code]....
This basically dynamically creates the "Loader" component with all of it's settings initialized. Then, using .contentPath, it displays my "banner.jpg" which is in the same directory as my .swf file.

I am not simply trying to contain things and have the container resize without the contents resizing. I would just use a simple MovieClip for that.. My main focus is on the use of BitmapFill. I'm trying to make a repeating background image for a container; thus far I'm able to draw my BitmapFill sprite to the size I want. (Which is the stage's height) but when the stage is resized, I want to re-size my container but have my containers BitmapFill crop or add more as the window is resized bigger or smaller. Allow me to illustrate what I mean:
I've got a simple rectangle sprite that fills with a bitmap from the library and a simple resize handler function that detects when the window has been resized.what I would like to do is have my rectangle resize to the height of the stage.stageHeight maintaining its bitmap fill, but not resizing the bitmap fill or any children within the sprite.
From what I've read, this is a little tricky because the sprite resizes in relation to what it contains.. or.. something like that.. I really don't know any more.. I saw one example where a person extended the sprite class but I don't know why or how..
in my library there is an image called 'pattern' and my code looks like this:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true);

I'm loading a few pngs/jpgs externally so they can be swapped out occasionally, and the issue I'm running into is when they are shrunk they become fairly choppy. Is there a way to have flash re-render them, or do something to smooth the resizing as opposed to going in and resizing every file manually myself?

I've got a little problem with BitmapFill, I'm trying to use a sprite as a container for various things and i would like it to have a filled pattern background. my problem is that i want it to resize the sprite to the height of the window but not have the background fill resize, and add more / crop as the window size is changed. to illustrate what i mean, please view the diagram attached to this post .

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

This has been bugging me for almost a week now. I hope I may find some assistance here. I've Googled for this and everytime I encounter an article with the solution and people saying it worked great for them, I'm pretty sure I did exactly what was instructed but mine is just weird.I hope you can try to look at my files and see what's wrong, anyway this is just a simulation of my real project (which has the same problem) at a very small scale so it should be very easy to look at. I believe it's so easy to solve but I just couldn't nail it. Here's a brief description.
There's this main.swf that loads two external swfs in a UILoader upon click of the corresponding button. By the way, the code inside the external swfs listens for a stage resize... So, when user clicks on button 1 (named "LOAD 1"), it loads "content1.swf". User decides to resize the window, and layout resizes accordingly (in this case, they all center horizontally). User clicks on button 2 (named "LOAD 2"), it loads "content2.swf". Everything looks fine, apparently. But when user tries to resize the window again, an error pops up in the Output panel.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf
