ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swfs Into A Container
May 19, 2010
I have an empty movie instance called 'contentClip' sitting in an swf called 'middle' on the main timeline. I have a number of buttons to call external swfs into the contentClip but I'm struggling with the exact script. I am creating a fluid layout so I am using an actionscript file to place the header, footer and middle sections. The script I have for the buttons follows but my poor knowledge is creating a new instance rather than filling my contentClip instance.

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.

when loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?

I'm writing a preview site that will load SWFs/images from a URL into a preview pane. However, the primary problem I'm running into is actually loading these SWFs. It seems that the object/embed tags require width/height attributes. I will not know the exact size of these SWFs; in fact, I will know absolutely nothing about them.
What I'm asking is, what is the best way to load in these SWFs? Is there a library that exists to do this? Or do I need to do it myself?

I have been trying endlessly to find a solution for a problem. All I want to do is to be able to load a loader container on to the stage and swap out each swf by hitting the corresponding btn. I found a code to do this and it works on static swfs but when I link xml photogallery swfs to it I get all kinds of output errors but the functions work in a browser. I know it is the code as I have tried 4 different kinds of xml photo galleries and all return similar output errors.
I know this is a bit of a pain in the @#$ but if someone could have a look at the zip file in the link below which contains a main.swf, an swf folder and one swf inside including all the xml. You will see what I mean. What I really need to acomplish is to have a set AS3 code for doing this, I'm sure a seasoned AS3 pro could look at the code in the file and see why I get the errors or I'll even settle for a code that works. I'm the kind of person that likes to know why something doesn't work and when it works I like to know how as well. This is one of the reasons I've been knocking myself out for days as you will see posts of mine about this.
zip file link is here

I am creating a course that requires loading/unloading of several swfs in a container. My course structure is something like :
Course->Module01->src->test.as
->Module02->src->test.as
When I load file from Module01 in my container it works fine, but files from Module02 is not working as they should. They seem to be reading the code from the as file in Module01. The course works fine when I give the as files different names, but I want to keep the names as they are now as I have created several modules and sub-modules on similar structure.

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

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

I am doing a website with external swf using AS2 . The parent frame (container) is resizeable, the external swf is an animation. Some items draw outside external container. The external (swf with animation) will resize when parent frame (container) resized in scale.
The problem occurs when the parent frame resized, the flash programme define the width of external swf, such as the movieclips/jpeg outside the scene. (for example: both my Container and External swf are 1024x640. However, some of the graphics in the External Animation swf move outside this area. BUT the parent CONTAINER still RECOGNIZE and LOAD the content outside the defined stage.)
i found this izzue in FLEX, [URL]
Therefore, I would like to know if I could fix this in Flash CS3 (AS2) ?

To load an external variable to load one movie, on the data.txt I have myVar=video1. My problem is that It is not loading video1.swf to container mc, but the trace to the variable name is correct.

I have some buttons that load an external flash file into the container movie clip with this code:
[code]...
So it plays the tweening out animation of the file that's already loaded, then loads the new file, playing the tweening in animation. However, currently the container movie clip is empty when the flash movie is played. I want to be able to have some content already loaded in it, but when I use the container .loadMovie("start.swf") code, it just keeps loading start.swf into it when any of the other buttons are clicked. Is there a way I can have content load when the flash movie is started, but when any of the buttons are clicked, for it to tween out, and basically, never reappear?

I have attached two pictures. Basically I am making a website. The main navigation loads in external swf's through a container movie. For this I have used this tutorial : [URL]. What I want to do is- when you rollover the navigation bar, be it the text or the coloured block- I want it to scroll down and reveal the 'sub navigation'. (pic2) It's like a drop down menu but kind of the other way around. Then, when you either rolloff of the navigation bar or click on a menu button, it slides back up to its original state. (Pic1). I have played around and only managed a sloppy version which doesn't work very well, especially when you resize. I think a simple answer to this is if I could get my buttons to work inside a movie clip. I had tried this but then the swfs wouldn't load properly.

I'm doing the tutorial for "transitions between external SWFs", but I'm having a problem because in the tutorial all of the buttons are on the main timeline, but in my site the buttons are on a different timeline. This is the actionscript that the tutorial tells me to use....
on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "work"; container.loadMovie("work.swf"); } else if (_root.currMovie != "work") { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = "work";

iv made a flash site using as3 using the actionscript on thefirst frame, this by itself works fine.iv also used an online tutorial tocreate a dynamicslideshow/photo gallery which again works fine, but this time usingan external .as file.When i try to load the external slideshow/gallery into amovieclip in the site it dosnt work and i get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method ofa null object reference.im pretty sure its because the code used in the main flashfile is on the timeline and the code in the external file to beloaded in is in an external as file.
the code im using to load the external flash file is:
var toload =new Loader();
toload.load(new URLRequest("newfile.swf"));

I am loading one variable from javascript to one main swf file which does have 2 more links to other 2 external swf files, i want to use the same var to be transfered to those 2 files when they are loaded
This is teh javascript in the header:
function CountryCode(){
document.getElementById('Spotlight_en_gb').SetVari able("ccode", "SU");
}
This script is triggered onLoad when the page loads.
One dynamic text box var name is ccode and instance name countrychk is taking the values and action accordingly, other two files need the same var to use but on LoadMovie they dont get teh value.
Here are the links:
1.
on (release) {
unloadMovie(1);
loadMovie("Movies.swf", 1);

I have a question regarding the swapping out of swf files in Flash CS3 / AS3.I start my project with a �logo� swf, which has no interactivity.At the last frame, the following code is used to load another swf from the local folder:
-------------------------------------------
//Stop current swf and stop its sound
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
[code]...
How do I remove and/or unload the previous swf when a new one is loaded? and remove that previous swf from memory? Can I give the current swf access to the previous one, then run a �remove� or �unload� function on it?

As you can see, I have an external swf file that loads into a container clip. When a user clicks on the next project button, or any other category, another image gallery starts loading. My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones?

I have a game which has various cutscenes. Each cutscene is split up into 3 or 4 seperate swf movie files which can be played (and replayed) by the user.
My question is, I've seen many tutorials on how to load external swfs but how do I load several movie clips into memory, and then clean everything up once the user has finished viewing them all?

After years of putting it off, I've finally begun the move to AS3.The frustration I've encountered is evidently shared by a lot of other designer/developers. Knowing that the future is inevitable, I have bitten the bullet and forged ahead. There has been one thing, however, that has just been a real quandry and has cost me hours of banging my head against the wall.That would be getting an externally loaded swf to (really) unload in an AS3 file.Before I even begin to post code, let me just say that I've tried a lot of things read in books, posts from this and other forums, and trial and error to no real avail. In my research I've come across many others who are experiencing the same problem and even one reference that suggests you not use AS3.For a project that uses multiple loads and unloads that's due in a month, should I just go with AS2?I'm using CS4 on a PC publishing to Flash player 10. And yes I have tried "unloadAndStop()" and "removeChild()".

I've spent days working on this code, it seems so simple, but yet it never works. All I'm trying to do is make a loop automatically load person0.swf through person4.swf in the same directory. I've got it set-up so that I can change a single number and it loads up to person[whatever-the-new-number-is].swfCurrently it loads the first movie and thats it. I also get this error: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Menu()"Here is the code
