I would like to play external .swf files which will be located in a specific directory somewhere and I will be getting the filenames through a sharepoint XML file. The .swf files have no interaction at all they are just videos playing but I need them to play one after another and in a constant loop until the XML file changes.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to make a picture gallery where each image is contained in its own .swf file and loads with a button click.The gallery works fine but I would like for each image to transition in and out,or play the timeline of each swf.I have a stop action in the middle of each swf so the image tranisitions in and then stops but when another button is clicked it immediately loads the next image and doesnt play the rest of the tmeline and transition out. Here is the code I used to load the swf files.
stop();
var movieName:String;
function movieLoad(event:MouseEvent):void[code]........
I'm porting a simple application from browser-based to iPhone. It plays some external sound files. There are 2 main steps:
1) Load an external XML file that contains sound file paths.
2) Load the sound files.
Can this be done with iPhone or do I need to move everything into the .fla file and then just publish it to iPhone?
I've created an audio player with actionscript 3 which plays one of 55 different sounds, depending on a variable set from which button a user clicks on. It works fine for the first 1 or 2 plays, but after that the sound begins to double-up, or even triple-up. I'm using the code below./First I declare a few variables:
var sound:Sound;
var controller:SoundChannel;
var pausePos:Number = 0;
var audioReset:Boolean = false;
var playerObject:Object = new Object();//
The sound functions are placed within another function so that it can be called again once a new button is selected:
function audiofunc() {
//if the user is selecting a second audio file, it runs this "audioReset function to try to clear the EventListeners[code]....
audiofunc(); I'm assuming that somehow an EventListener isn't getting removed, so it's causing a few versions of the audio file to play at once. If I trace the value of pausePos, it starts to appear in multiples (the same number, but 2, 3 or 4 times) after a few plays of the different audio files.
I have gotten my movies to play at random from external files but the links that where coded into the random swf files no longer work. could there be an action script issue? The random swf files are as3 and the player file is as2????

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 RepliesI am fairly new to Flash and working with MX 2004 with Flash 2. I have tried several methods to play an external .FLV file. Some ideas from this forum and some from the Flash help system. Either I don't understand them and/or I am not implementing them correctly but nothing has worked. I have read of an FLVPlayback component and my system has a MediaPlayback component in the Component window. I have also seen yards of actionscript to play such files. Can anyone supply me with a basic/simple method, with code/example or buttons-to-push if necessary, to have an .SWF play an external .FLV via my MX 2004 system?

I am trying to play the .mp3 file called "Music_File_2.mp3" the music file is in a folder called "Sounds" 2buttons called Play_btn and Stop_btn plays and stops the music. Once the music playing if i click on the play button the music will pause.
Everything works fine when i launch the program though "Flash Player 10". but when i right click and open the .swf file with Internet explorer the whol project works fine, but the sounds would not play.
I want to play a external SWF file (which is in server) in client side. It is working when I run through flash, but when double click on .swf it shows a dialog box:
Adobe Flash Player Security To let this application communicate with the internet click Settings.
So what settings do we need to change to play the swf file?
I have created a Flash Demo in AS3. I simply need to use the swf file to demonstrate a workflow. The file plays perfectly on my computer however when I sent it to my team, the content was replaced with 5 moving grey dots.The publish settings are at Flash Player 10. My team all have flash player 10 but no cigar.

View 1 RepliesIn my project I have five video files that I need to all play simultaneously. I'd like the user to be unable to play them until they are fully loaded, because of course streaming would mean they wouldn't necessarily be playing at synchronized times any more.
So I need to load them all entirely, and have a single button that the user clicks to get them all to play simultaneously.
I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

View 1 RepliesI can't figure out 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 myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("myItems[0]", this.getNextHighestDepth());
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'm currently trying to find out how to create external files from a SWF/exe/app file created in Flash. Essentially I'm building a program to create templates for levels in a game. The SWF will be run locally (e.g. not online) and will allow the user to add/remove objects to a level of their design. They then need to be able to save the level template (ideally I need to be able to save as a JSON* file, but I'm sure I could get away with just a simple txt file) somewhere on their computer. These templates will them be imported by the game itself (not written in Flash, hence why I need to save the data as a json or txt file), which will then re-create the levels from the data contained in the save file.
I had assumed this would be something that was really simple to do, but I cannot seem to find any tutorials or information on how to create external files. I can find plenty on reading from existing external files, but nothing about actually writing a new file entirely. I have read a few people complaining that non-local Flash SWFs cannot access the user's hard drive for security reasons, but cannot find any information on local SWFs.
If anyone could tell me even roughly what I'm looking for, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm a bit stuck just now haha *I have downloaded the corelib files which allow me to work with JSON files
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.

I suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.
View 7 RepliesI have some animation (programmatic, I'm NOT using keyframed animation in timeline), and some music I want to play in the background. Once the music file reaches the end (about 30 seconds long), I want to trigger the end of the animation functions.I figure I could either use an actionscript timer to trigger the end of the animation or a keyframe with actionscript that is placed on the timeline near the end of the song but these methods assume knowledge about the duration of the wave file. If I changed the framerate or updated the external wave file, these triggers would possibly no longer sync upIs there some sort of event listener or other detection method for an audio file to signal it has finished playing? Or maybe there is a way to get the duration of the audio file to use in the timer
View 3 RepliesI'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.

View 5 RepliesBefore I start off; I'm not a pro at Flash at all.
Folder structure:
start.swf
assets/moviecontainer.swf
assets/flv/movie.flv
What I want is to open start.swf, have it embed moviecontainer.swf which has a FLV playback object that loads in the movie.flv. When I check my moviecontainer.swf, it runs properly. But when I use start.swf it loads moviecontainer.swf (because I can see it has the background and all) but the movie won't play (and I think the buttons don't work anymore)
I have saved both .swfs with the "Local files only" option. I have no idea what the problem can be, as I said, I'm no Flash pro and I have no experience as to say "oh it looks like we got that xyz problem.."

View 2 RepliesI have 15 movie clips that play one at a time. When the first one calls the second movie clip there is a short space (black screen) between the two which I have to eliminate. I tried loading the second one half way thru the first movie then tell it to play when the first movie is over, but when I do that you can see a disturbance in the first movies performance when the second one is pre-loaded. Is there a way around this so I can make 15 movies run seamlessly? They are separate .swf files!
View 1 RepliesOk so I have a flash banner I am working on. It is basically 3 flv files. 1 for the main content, and 2 for the background.
What I want to do is load in the first flv for the background, as soon as it is done playing I want to play the second flv, Then once the second flv is finished playing I want it to loop continuously.
The main content flv will then be layed overtop of this and play through once and stop while the background continues to loop.[code]...
