ActionScript 3.0 :: Playing SWFs In Sequential Order

Sep 11, 2009

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sequential To Random Image Order On A Banner

Jun 3, 2009

I'm not really looking for a specific answer but really more something that I can target my research around. Here is what I'm working with: -this all need to pre-load. -I need to build a flash image banner -When you click a image they take you to a corresponding HTML page. -The first few images in the banner sequence need to play in sequential order so for example image00, image01, image02 in order. -Then once the first few images have played in sequential order images will be selected and played at random. Now here is the tricky part the random image selection can't pick to of the same images in a row. -The universal transition from one image to the next should be an alpha fade down of the top image exposing the random or sequential image below. Yeah I know that a real mouth full.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Dynamically Loading Sequential Swfs W/o Using Buttons?

Aug 17, 2009

- 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" is its own project/swf. Once the main interface loads, it should 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 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:- First frame of main movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code (most of this code was taken from an online tutorial):

var slideName = "modules/intro.swf";
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Preload Sequential Swfs For Slide Show From XML

Sep 13, 2009

Im trying to make a dynamic site banner that will load in swfs detailed in a XML file. I think the best way is to load them in separate MCs and then start the first one one it has preloaded then move to the next to preload and once the first swf has finished a piece of code tells the _root timeline to play the next... and so on.

I have got it so the container swf loads in the swfs but the preloader is not quite working and I have no idea how to get this sequential thing working especially with next/pev buttons. Currently it seems that the loader is not quite working with the first file and all files are loading in at once. I need the player to wait and load sequentially.

Following is my code and attached are the files. Please help and much appreciated.

Code:
stop();
/*******************************************************************/

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading 5 Different SWFs In Order Then Display In Loop?

Aug 13, 2010

Currently I am trying to load 5 different swfs in order. Everytime a button is selected I want to move to the next swf. And once I reach 5 the next image should be 1 (again - loop). I started with a code like this on frame 1 in "scene 1":

Code:
gotoAndPlay(50);
Stage.align = "T";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.j = 1;
where "_root.j = 1" ----- "1" is the first swf loaded. But it was stuck on 1.

My newbie skills figured this out so to avoid zero, but it's random. And things repeat too closely.
Code:
gotoAndPlay(50);
Stage.align = "T";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.j = random(4)+1;

My Question: What can "_root.j" equal so that 1,2,3,4,5 cycles? I have to work within these parameters cause this template is deep.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling Order Of Loading External SWFs

Mar 22, 2004

Is it possible without looping to control which of 12 or so external swfs loads first when they all have to load on the same frame of the main movie? For example, we have a main movie which creates classes where the class is itself in an external movie. When we load locally, the movies all load fast enough that the classes are created correctly, however when we move to loading from the server some of the class movies are not loaded into their levels before the main movie tries to create the class with of course the result being the class is not generated and the movies do not function correctly.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX] Preload Multiple .swfs In RANDOM Order?

Jan 13, 2005

I've got a Flash file that displays a series of .swfs one after the other and I'm trying to figure out how to encorporate a preloader into this script that takes into account the fact that I'm randomly selecting which of those .swfs to display first.

Here's what the attached script does so far:

1. Call external XML file and put .swf path names into an array.

2. Randomly select one of those .swfs to display first.

3. Once that .swf movie has played through (each one is about 6 seconds long) --OR-- if the "next" button is clicked, load the next .swf file.

4. When we've reached the last .swf file in the list, start back at the beginning of the list.

I have looked at a BUNCH of preloader scripts but just haven't grasped actionscript enough to know how to encorporate them into my file.

It could be that using loops is the only way to do what we want, however ever the optimist I'll ask the question anyways.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading 2 Ext Swfs Into Master File Need To AddChild In Order

Mar 28, 2010

loading 2 external swfs into one main file using 1 preloader, I have figured out how to get the preloader to handle the correct # of bytes loaded and such but my 1st swf I want to load onto the stage is a video file and I want it as the background but I don't want it to start until after they are both (the video and main file - 2 external swfs) loaded and then I want to start the video and place it on the stage first, then place the main swf on the stage.

I can get the order right if I place them into my load complete function but then my buttons don't work on the main file.
 
Here is the code:
 
var bytesLoadedVidBG:Number = new Number();var bytesTotalVidBG:Number = new Number();var loader0:Loader = new Loader(); // load video BGvar loadedSWF0:Object;loader0.load(new

CS3 :: Playing In Wrong Order

Aug 26, 2010

I did a banner in flash CS3. I did 8 things and you see them one after the other one. The first time that it plays it goes on the right order but after it finished, when it normally has to start playing again, it plays in wrong order (the first then the third, the last, the second again the first, last and so on), it just does what he wants and not what I did.

ActionScript 3.0 :: [CS3] Flash Interface For Client To Control Play Order Of External Swfs?

Jan 14, 2009

My client has approx 12 different presentation .swf's all with a beginning, middle and an end (phew!). I need to build an interface that views those 12 individual presentations as thumbnails on a single page and allows my client to click and drag whichever ones they wish to use into a separate little container above and in-doing so create a new required running order (left to right) each time they use my interface... so that once they have decided that running order they can somehow use the result for their required presentation. They will be using this interface ongoing throughout the year for various presentations all that will require maybe just a few of those individual swf's in different orders.

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;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Multiple SWFs Into Cache And Playing Them Sequentially?

May 17, 2008

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 creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:

1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}

2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
