I have a movie with 5 buttons. The buttons are movie clips with up, over and pressed states. I am trying to load each movie into a movie clip on the stage. All I can get it to do is load 1 movie.I am getting this error.[code]
View 19 RepliesI 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
View 3 RepliesI recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.
View 12 RepliesI am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Using Flash 8 and CS3.I have video clips that are SWF's and want to load them into a blank movie clip one after the other automatically. So when one movie ends the other one will load up and play.I have tried using a wait function and it didn't work, it just kept playing the 1st clip over and over again.
View 1 RepliesThis is my first time working with As3 and im a bit lost, everything is so different from the old good As2... what im trying to achieve is to create a simple virtual tour, i have a map with a few buttons on it that when clicked should lead to a panoramic swf that contains a picture of that particular place in the map. I already have the map and the panoramic swfs. But im clueless as to how to actually put them all together in one document. I tried by using this method but for some reason that loads just the panorama swf and not the picture inside it.

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.
View 2 RepliesSo I want to make some movie clips function as buttons to load some external swfs. I have this action script on the mc's:

loadMovie("Chuck.swf", "motionmc");

It was working when it was a button, but now nothing happens?
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
View 1 Replieshow can i load 3 external swfs into one movieclip at the moment i can only get it to load one or it may be loading each clip over the previous one.
View 3 RepliesI'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:

on (release) {
unloadMovie(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();

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?
How would I load a .swf from within a .swf with parameters?First, I need to know how to pass the parameters, and second I need to know how the other .swf is going to read those parameters...
View 1 RepliesAs 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?
View 4 RepliesI 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?

View 3 RepliesAfter 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()".

Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 internal training project Main movie is a single frame project, containing just the interface. This includes a menu listing 80+ individual "chapters" for the training series. Each "chapter" that loads is its own project/swf of varying lengths. Once the main interface loads, it should automatically begin to play the chapters sequentially without the user selecting anything from the menu. When one chapter finishes, the next should load. If the user DOES select a chapter in the menu, it should load that SWF, and continue auto-playing from that selection forward.
- Each chapter swf has a built-in play/rewind/ff bar, various movie clips with animations, dialogue audio track and a fairly lengthy embedded FLV movie, and therefore a preloader before each chapter is mandatory.What I have so far works, but it's embarrassingly crafted my lack of AS skills:- First frame of main interface movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code:
var slideName = "modules/00.swf";
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

I have this code that I am using to randomly load in external swfs. It seems to be working but, as I know very little about coding I just wanted to ask the experts and see if its ok? or should be done differently.

How to load external swfs into the an MC content box using movies with embedded buttons? The problem I'm running into is this: I have animated buttons within movie clips. I also have a main_content MC in my scene into which I'm trying to load background images from another file. This other file has 3 frames, each with a different image. I don't know what the action script would be for a movie/button to load my external swf frames into the main_content MC.

View 1 RepliesI have a gallery with a Next/Previous button and individual frames that contain a "loadMovie" function. When the user clicks next or previous the movie jumps to a new frame and loads an external swf/w a preloader into a container. The way I have it , the movie has to load each swf one at a time. Is there a way to have the movie loading the other swfs in the background, so the user doesnt have to ait for each swf to load?
View 1 RepliesWhat I'd like to do is this, lets say on my nav I have "Section 1". If you rollover "Section 1", subsection1, subsection2 and subsection3 drop down. If you click on any of those I'd like to load a short little intro .swf into the stage and then that subsection .swf loads into the stage. This I know how to do.
This is what I don't know how to do and need help here. So now your in subsection1 and you click on subsection2 or 3 from the same dropdown menu, how can you tell these buttons that the intro has already played and doesn't need to play again? Then if your in subsection2 and click on subsection1 or 3, same thing, don't play the intro again. The intro should only play when you intially click on one of the subsections.
build a dynamic portfolio using AS2? there is different code to use for loading pictures and other file types like flvs and swfs. I know that I use a path to the file I want to show in the XML. So do all I have to do is use a path to a flv or swf and it will work the same?
