ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Multiple Files Into A Movieclip In Specific Order In Scrollbar?
Feb 18, 2011
We are trying to build a site with these features:
Our site will be built in Actionscript 3.
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip.
2A. The movieclip will load content corresponding to the navigation categories, all which is organized into zipped files (using this to extract the contents of each section, example: about.zip for the about section of the site)
2B. The movieclip will load multiple zipped files one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
**What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple zipped files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation. The separate navigation categories can be in movieclips instead of zipped files if that is easier.

A great reference to this is the SWFC Shanghai site. If you google it and click on a link, you'll see this effect.
Current error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method load.
AS3:
//XML Loader var myXML:XML = new XML(); myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

Here is a reference of something that works like this: [URL]
In my case, some user interaction produces new values for the bindable variables "someDataProvider", and "someSelectedItem". However, when flex renders the DropDownList, the control's selected value is empty.
The reason for this is that the DropDownList's "selectedItem" property gets bound before the "dataProvider" property. The "dataProvider" needs to be bound first for "selectedItem" to be valid, this is because the new "selectedItem" points into the new "dataProvider".
what is the best practice for updating bindable properties in a specific order? I've come up with a few ways (e.g. using a valueCommit handler), but I wanted to see what the community had to say.
In AC2, I am trying to load .swf files in to a movie.
I know how to load them, and I can load them at random. But what I want to know is, if I have say 500 movies, named movie_0.swf movie_1.swf movie_2.swf etc...
is there a way I can load them ten at a time, in order of highest number to lowest number. In a specific location.
In other words, I want to be able to have many external swf movies, about 400px wide by 100px tall, and load 10 at a time in to a 800px wide by 1200px tall movie, 10 movies at a time, in order of highest to lowest movie name number. Each in a specific place, with a next and precious button to show the next 10 or last 10.
Im basically working on my first site, and want to use something like this so I can show my latest articles first when someone clicks on the articles section of the website.
Now resolved with AS3
PHP Code:
var loaderone:Loader = new Loader(); loaderone.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedone); loaderone.load(new URLRequest(prefix + totalfiles-- + ".swf")); function loadedone(one:Event):void
I'm trying to load a bunch of image files for processing (to make a sprite sheet to be exact). Thusly, I need to make sure those files are loaded in order for processing (otherwise the animations become all wonky).
The code I'm using is pretty standard: protected function onFileSelect(e : FileListEvent) : void {
I want to play 4 external swf video files so that the first video (intro) plays only once and the rest 3 play in a loop after the first one. So this is the code i'm using in the swf loader file:
I am trying to eliminate the Loader component from a project. Run locally, the Loader is sufficient to load-up the voiceover swf files that exist on many of the frames in the parent file. On the web, the short download delays at runtime due to the Loader are causing timing issues. I'm not sure if there is a way to preload multiple swfs into specific frames of a parent file so that they are available before runtime.
What is the best approach in AS3 when loading multiple XML files. I have 3 XML files I need to load. Should make separate XML loaders and functions for each XML file?
i'm making a simple portfolio site, and bringing in a series of jpeg files using a 'for' loop and the Loader class. once all the files are loaded in, i'd like to just be able to add, remove, tween, etc... the items from the stage as need-be by using instance names, such as movie clips or Sprites. but for some reason, i cannot seem to figure out how to have each image, as its loaded in, be separately accessable to me after the loop has completed.
In a website i have 10 buttons and each of them loads an image. the image only loads into a empty movie clip as soon as i press the button.What i want to try is to start load the images as soon as i enter that page, and I want the buttons to show, only when their image is loaded. Kinda like a progressive thing.What i have to do?? send each image to a diffrent level when loading?
I have a video that plays for 1.30 secs. After it has finished playing I would like to automatically load a MovieClip onto the stage, how do I create a timer element to this?
I have a text box which when submitted will action a specific task depending on what its contents is, so for example, you type "one" in and it will bring up a picture of a boat where as if you type in "two" and press enter it will bring up a picture of a car. Now thats all working fine, what I have an issue with though is that with several of the tasks I want it to open the same window but load different content within that window depending on what word was typed.
So if you type "one" it will load a grey window and load within that a picture of a boat, but if you type "two" it will load the same window but load a picture of a car inside it. Now the way i can see this working is when you submit the box it sets a variable and when the window loads, depending on what that variable is set to it will load the relevant info.
[code].....
I have also tried placing that last bit of code within "window" instead of "winbod" but it still doesn't work. I'm pretty new to variables so I know it will be to do with me not placing them right. Where abouts am i going wrong here?
im trying to load 7 xml files into a question array, im unsure as to whether i need 7 arrays or if i can load it into one single array. each xml file has a set of questions for a quiz i am making i have managed to load the first set of questions but i dont really know how to proceed

Im creating a really simple flash website and script to load multiple swf files into the main flash file. Im using cs4 with action script 2 but I have no idea on how to code the script to make it work properly. I have a navbar and each time you click on a tab a want it to load a seperate external file, unfortunately now it just keeps playing the same one over and over again. How do you make one close when a new tab gets clicked.
So I've got this XML driven MP3 player, I need to unload the current XML playlist and load in a new one based on a button on the stage.
Here's the XML loading code, the rest is in the FLA file included. Code: Select all//Variables var musicReq: URLRequest; var musicBank:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); var slc:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext (3000); var music:Sound = new Sound(null, slc); [Code] .....

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.
I am working on a photo gallery with music and everything works good except I can not seem to load multiple music files one right after another. This is the code I have that works with one music file.
I have a fla file that I've created to load 7 external swf files. I am able to create the code to load one swf file without any trouble but I can't figure out the code to get it load swf #2 when #1 is done, and so on. My code for one is below:

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.
I've got a problem when loading a particularly large XML file, and then loading a CSS file after. I get data overflowing into the CSS file from the XML file.
However, after testing, it seems to only happen if I load a file that's rather large. When I load a smaller XML file, then load my CSS, the CSS data is clean of the previously loaded XML.Is there another way of loading files (other than URLLoader)Here's an example of some test code.
I have been working on this script that currently loads 2 external files into two separate areas inside my application. the 2nd file loaded is supposed to have several buttons that control the 1st movie clip. Like go to next frame, etc. My problem now is the 2nd file loaded, is not controlling the 1st anymore ( i had this all sitting in one file before).
