ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Swfs Not Playing In IE8
Jul 26, 2011
What I have is a SWF that loads multiple smaller SWFs into an array and then uses buttons to switch between them in a movie clip container on the stage.
Everything works when I pub my main SWF and even when I run it in a browser from my desktop.
When I upload to the server and try to run it online, I run into this problem. All the SWFs load, but only the last one to load actually plays in the container. The others seem to be stuck in frame 1.
The clips have no code in them, they are simple animations. And if I change the load order, still only the last clip plays. So I know it isn't the SWFs causing the problem. I am locked into using IE 8 and the flashplayer is version 10.3.
Anyone know of any issues with IE 8 or a reason that only the last file loaded would play?
here is my code, but as I said it seems to work fine until I run it online.
Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code].....

I have a main movie that sets up the loads of multiple swfs with:
/* imports */
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code]....
How do I get it not just to start the move but play as well? Everything I tried caused an error or didn't work.

I understand how to load external swfs into an container with the loadmovie command. I also understand I could make that container invisible so I don't see the movie right away.However, I want to script a preloader that loads swfs without starting them - just gets them into memory. how to do this and then play them on command?

I've tried endlessly to make sense of the solutions that other people have posted. But I cannot seem to get any code to work my my purposes, so I decided to post my own thread.I have a main parent Flash movie that I need to load 7 exteral SWFs into. Each of the SWFs is like its own scene in a longer movie. The external files are called:
mc1.swf
mc2.swf
mc3.swf
mc4.swf
mc5.swf
mc6.swf
mc7.swf
The final parent movie should play each external SWF movie sequentially so that it appears as one combined movie (so none of the loaded SWFs are actually playing at the same time - they should only play one at a time, one after another).I want to preload mc1.swf, mc2. swf and mc3.swf into the cache before the parent movie starts playing(and I would like to include a progress bar to indicate loading status). Once those SWFs are preloaded, I would like them to start playing sequentially while the rest of the SWFs load in the background.
Basically,I have a long Flash animation that I decided to split up into several individual movies.I've using the parent movie to seamlessly string together my individual movies to give the appearance of cohesion.I have determined that I should use the MovieClipLoader Class and loadClip() to accomplish what I am trying to do.However, I have a very limited knowledge of actionscripting, so this has been a major challenge for me.
I am optimizing the parent SWF for the web, and it's important that the video plays seamlessly, so I cannot put individual preloaders onto each external SWF. They have to preload at the beginning so that when each individual SWF is called, it's already loaded and no preloader is required.

I am loading multiple .swfs into multiple .swfs, but the .swf are never being properly unloaded. I thought they were unloading until I started monitoring my Page File Usage and seeing it increase everytime I loaded another external swf.
In using this function to load my content, what would be the proper way/function to unload the content?

I'm doing a flash movie in as3 where there are two or three swfs. What I want to do is play them in a sequential order, wherein when one finishes, the second one starts. The swfs are called movie1, movie2, etc. The best way is probably to use an array and load swfs into the 'overall' fla file that will play them. I use a variable called movieNum that keeps track of each movie. I am also using a Loader command which is just called loader. My loadSWF function works fine, but my eFrame function is flawed. I cannot find a way to recognize the end of the last frame of movie1.
var request:URLRequest;
var loader:Loader;
var myMovies:Array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf"];
//my movie array
var movieNum:int = 0;
//start at 0
function loadSWF():void
[Code] .....
So, two or more SWFs called movie1, movie2 etc., and having movie2 start after movie1 finishes in an overall fla.

I have a web site with HTML files playing SWF movies using AC_FL_RunContent. ALL the SWFs play correctly on one server and my local PC, but only SOME of the SWFs play on another server. The files are exactly the same, as I copied them from a working server to the partially working server.
why the one server will only play some of the SWFs?

I have made a presentation in flash AS2. I have a main.swf and 14external .swf files and each has its own preloader.
I want that when main.swf plays, the external swf should starts preloading sequentially so that the presentation will run smoothly.

I found this code for loading external swfs and playing them in succession.
It works when I use the external swfs that come with the code, but not when I try to use any other external swfs.
I can't figure out why - does anything seem obvious (the clip swfs are here [URL]
// Array of external clips to use. Variable index refers to next clip to be displayed.var clips:Array = ["clip0.swf", "clip1.swf", "clip2.swf"];var index:int = 0;
// Stuff to load swf filesvar thisLoader:Loader = new Loader(); thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,

I'm trying to load external swf files and, using as3, have them play consecutively so the final product is a seamless animation. Below is the scripting I'm currently using to call and play the first scene, how do I make it go to the next one? All the material I've found on this is related to buttons and I'm not experienced enough with AS3 to adapt that to what I'm trying to do here.Here is the script I'm currently using...
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 0;
var swf:MovieClip;[code].......

I have 2 movies, one which holds a navigation menu and some music playing options, and the other which is my main movie. The main movie has an empty clip which loads the navigation and sound into it. However the music does not play in the main movie.

I have to create an app for iOS from an existing Flash project. On the stage of the main flash multiple swfs are loaded dynamically . Is it possible to compile, in addition to the main file, all the other swfs too? If I load the swf in the "Included files on Setting AIR for IOS menu, they are copied as swf, making impossible to use the app on iPad.

Does anyone know of a way (e.g. similar to those of which allows my swf to be divided into multiple swf based on the frames? So if the swf is 10 frames long, there will be 10 SWFs, each one containing a frame.

I want to convert a pdf magazine into multiple swfs (one for each page), so I can use them in a page flip application. swf because then the user can soom and vector stays vector so when zoomed the quality stays the same. I can't export to swf in acrobat.

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get a number of external SWFs loaded into one main SWF in successive order, the next one playing after the other has ended. To complicate matters, the external SWFs have FLV files in them.
using Flash CS3
Actionscript 3.0
So, here's essentially what I'm looking to do: - I have one main SWF file (call it main.swf)- load several SWF files into this file so they play in order (let's call them movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, and so on) - these external SWF files all have FLV progressive downloads (not embedded, becuase then my audio doesn't sync up) - I want movie1.swf to load and play in the main file, then detect when the movie is complete, and unload that audio/video then load in movie2.swf, and so on.
This script seemed promising, but loads all of my SWFs on top of each other, making for some ::interesting:: audio... (i have it pasted in actions on first frame in main.swf)
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf");var tl:MovieClip=this
var index:uint=0;
loadF(new Event("nada"));
[Code]....
Maybe there's some code that can be pasted in the individual SWFs?

I have a fla file that has a hardcoded variable which is used to validate that a user has permission to run the swf.The variable hold the number of days from the start of the year. If the current date is later - the swf will not play.I need to generate mutliple swfs each with a different day-code (possibly 100s). Apart from editing the .fla and publishing each time,is there any other method of doing this. For example, the code being read form a file and built into to the swf when publishing.

how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)
var myItems:Array = new Array("swf01.swf", "swf02.swf", "swf03.swf", "swf04.swf", "swf05.swf", "swf06.swf", "swf07.swf", "swf08.swf", "swf09.swf");
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();[code].......
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?

I have a project that loads SWFs as "slides". I'm running into a problem where I have some very large SWFs that use shared resources within each other. I would prefer not to post my source (because there is a TON of it ...if you've worked with SCORM, you know), but basically, the project is setup to use a "master" SWF to load in children SWFs. Those children SWFs can be quite large due to one specific symbol in the libraries that each share. This symbol is about 5MB in size and is used in several of the "slides". I want to be able to load this symbol into memory and use it across all the slides that need it so the user doesn't have to download tons of 5+MB files.
I am able to create a movieClipLoader object and a container for the object and load the SWF that is just the symbol object I need to share. I am attempting to put it in the _global namespace for use later. When I do this though, the library seems to switch to this new loaded SWF (this shared object) and I cannot access the library objects from the parent slide. So, the slide that is using this shared symbol must load up, start to download the SWF for shared use, then it must be able to load objects from it's own library to continue on. Maybe I'm going about this all wrong, but when I have several SWFs that all use this shared symbol, and I have to compile that symbol into each SWF, it only hurts the user that has to download all these large SWFs.

How could I load multiple swfs?I mean, after the first .swf is done streaming, just then load the second swf.

I have a page that can be seen here: [URL]
As you should be able to see, it seems as though the Flash file on the left is causing the one on the right to reload upon final loading. The one on the right will reload itself once the one on the left finishes loading.
I have tested the flash files by themselves and both load only once when loaded by themselves. It seems as though one is causing the other to re-load which is just mind boggling to me.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I've spent months looking for an AS2 preloader that does the following:
1. Preloads multiple external swf files into a single movie holder.
2. Starts automatically preloading once the parent file is launched.
3. Contains a progress bar with % downloaded.
4. Can be placed on a "Preload" scene.
Working on the file in Flash CS3, AS2. I've looked at tutorials, scanned the web, etc. And I still can't find the right one, or even how to make one.

I'm kinda stuck on a project I'm working on and need some guidance. I've been making educational Flash Videos and all the lessons. Each lesson is it's own SWF. I know how to make each SWF into it's own AIR application, but don't know how to get all of them into one AIR application.
Basically I'd like to create an Interface like this:http://bit.ly/h9OKPH Where I have a menu screen where you have all the lessons. When you click on a lesson it will take you to another frame and load the SWF for that lesson. I know I can import all the SWFs into a new Flash File, and then publish an Air Application, but I was hoping for a less time consuming and more resource efficient way to do so (I want the app to be optimized for speed).

I'm currently planning out the UI for a game with a complex UI system. I have done some runtime sharing tests using fonts that are setup for sharing in one fla, and I've setup the import in another. Both files are exported as swc files and are included in the flash develop project (the font is included completely). This worked fine.What I would like to do is have my UI loaded on-demand. I was planning to have a general UI elements library that contains elements setup for sharing (similar to the font), then have separate swfs that are loaded into the main swf when they are needed. These separate swfs would use elements from the shared library. I can get this to work exclusively in the IDE, or exclusively on the server, but not both (making development awkward).
The big stumbling block I'm hitting is to do with setting up the URL paths.I think that all of the runtime paths will be based on the running 'Main' swf location. So all import/export paths need to use paths that work from this root location.for example 'data/ui/top_ui.swf' might import objects from 'ui_elements.swf' (effectively 'data/ui/ui_elements.swf'). This import will function fine when testing from the IDE, but when running on the server, this will fail as it will try to load 'ui_elements.swf' from the root folder. Worse still, it will not fire an error (as it has found 'top_ui.swf' fine) but the load will never complete as it cannot find the runtime swf.
The reason for this folder structure is that we would really prefer to keep our assets in a folder that could in theory be re-located to another server (should the bandwidth usage dictate it). To put these ui swfs in their own folder then causes all the linkage to break in the Flash IDE making editing a kludge. Fix it in the IDE and it will no longer function on load.At the moment it looks like we will just have to export swc files and embed the lot in the main swf to keep this easy for code and art.
