ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader In Externally Loaded Swf Causing Error
Jan 24, 2009
I have a movie that loads swfs into a loader within and MC on the main file/stage. The code within the movie clip housing the loader is (NOTE: I worked up an simplified fruits/veggies example to work out issues, I am not a fruit/veggie expert or anything):
[Code]....
That repeats every time either button is clicked after that. NOTE: I tested this after removing the preloader code(and moving the frames around to remove the blank first frame) in the external swfs and it worked fine jumping back and forth between them. I have already plugged away at this solving a series of issues to get to this point and I have the feeling this is a pretty simple fix, but I am not sure whether I should be looking in the external swf file itself or in the loader code in the main file to solve it.
I am a flash amateur. I have a movie clip in frame 1. The movie clip is a series of images that is similar to Apple's wait mouse cursor. I have written the following script hoping it will act as a preloader.
Code: var total:Number = stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal; do { var loaded:Number = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded; } while (loaded<total); gotoAndPlay(3);
But, I get this error in the output window. Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds. All I can see is the preloader, but frame 3 is never loaded.
I am using this tutorial to achieve a preloader in externally loaded swf's. It is "kinda" working, however, when the loader is reaching 100% it is loading the page but immediately it is making a "white flash" and it stays on the white.I am attaching the files I have already done, could someone look them through and see what is up? Um let there be said that the laoder.swf is where the prelaoder is in. The default_second.swf is the site the preloader is loading.
buenas tardes I need the script for a preloader for a externally loaded .jpg I have a button with a gotoAndStop, to a frame where theres an empty movie clip that loads a .jpg... I want to add a percentage (in numbers) preloader... I know how the preloaders work for swf, but I dont get how to make the preloader work to get the bytes loaded of the image in the empty mc, called container. One day Ill be able to answer many questions... for today, I still need to be answered.
I have a swf with dynamic text field that loads external text. One frame only. i am trying to monitor loading progress of external txt file but i can not. Preloader just does not show anything but when it is fully loaded it just displays 100%. I usually do not have any problems with preloading swf. Here is my code and if you can tell me what is wrong that would be great. t googled for solution but i mosty found general preloading problems (not for external text)
ActionScript Code: var textName:String = "test.txt"; var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( textName);
I'm making a site using only flash. So far I'm using preloaders for all of my external content.I need a preloader for text (externally loaded from an XML). The text is formated as HTML and it will have lots of pictures. I'm worried that if I leave it without a preloader, the pictures won't appear.
But when I do this, since the movie is not loaded the file is not compiled and gives me an error your referring to something that is not there. How else am I supposed to reference a content that will be loaded later?
I have a movieclip with two frames. Each frame has externally loaded text with associated CSS. The first frame works fine. However, when I click the button that takes me to frame 2 I get this error:
I have been coding my flash movie/website and everything was working fine until I added a preloader on frame one, moved frame "home" over one frame to frame2. PaulJamesWilliams is the name of the file that I am editing. what do I do?
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PaulJamesWilliams_fla::MainTimeline/frame2() at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame() at PaulJamesWilliams_fla::MainTimeline/updatePreloader()
I have buils a flash movie using a document class, all works fine. When I load the movie using a preloader all reference to the stage as in stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; or stage.stageHeight throws a TypeError: Error #1009: I think i undrestand the problem, I am no longer accessing the stage properties. How do i access stage properties from the document class once loaded into the prelaoder?
I am using CS3 actionscript 2. I am having trouble with the preloader. It works, but it is causing the stop commands throughout the rest of the movie to not work. I know it is the preloader because when I remove it, it works. It is just a basic preloader. index12.fla has it with the preloader and index13.fla doesn't.[URL]...
I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?
I have a preloader SWF that, depending on flashvars passed to it, will load an external SWF. The secondary SWF would load but wouldn't have any of the public functions available to the preloader. After extensive trouble shooting, I discovered that it was an issue with teh TLF text field I had created in the secondary SWF.
The secondary SWF will play perfectly as a stand alone with the TLF, and the secondary will load perfectly into the preloader SWF with all available public methods, but only after I change the TLF field to a classic text field.
<script> function cargar(url){ var iframe = $('<iframe>');[code]....
That generates an iframe (containing a panorama viewer with JavaScript and Flash) and inserts it in a div.The thing is that this code, in local, Firebug jumps:
Elemento referenciado por ID/NAME en el ámbito global. Use el estándar del W3C document.getElementById() en su lugar.Element referenced by ID / NAME in global scope. Use the W3C standard document.getElementById () instead.And online it doesn't jump any error or warning but the script doesn't fully work: http:[url]... (the controls are missing and the autoplay is not ON)
I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
Environment: I am using Flash CS3 and targettting my application for Flash Player 9, I have installed Flash Player 10 on my machine. I am getting a flash player 10b.ocx error, which causes into crash of the browser. I am loading a bunch of images in this application. (20-30 at a time). using Loader class.
I have three questions: Is it the flash player error causing the browser to crash or something in my code is wrong?what possibly can go wrong in AS3 code to cause this error if it is not a flash player error?What could be the possible resolution for the same?
i managed to get my photogallery up and on my site but i'm having a problem. It loads a few of the pictures but then it quits working. After it quits working and i close the browser it gives me this error:
iexplore.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x10005f6c" referenced memory at "0x10005f6c". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program You can go to [URL].. and try for yourself. Under the Pictures of Iraq page it should only load up till the 3rd picture. Anything after that and it quits working. Somebody please help me fix this.
I have tried to work my way through it.I can't understand why my button actions are causing an output error,the first two on this keyframe work just fine, but when I add the third it causes this error...
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at clear_fla::MainTimeline/frame86()
Here is the script
stop (); function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(87, "Scene 1" );[code]........
Like I said, sg_btn and ak_btn work, but az causes the error...They are all on the same keyframe, dont know if that matters
I am trying to use ZendAMF to do remote method calls to a MySQL database from Flash and I keep recieving the NetConnection.Call.BadVersion error. My Server is working correctly. Apache 2.2.14 My PHP is working correctly. PHP 5.2.11 My Database is working. MySQL 5.0
My first problem was a security error in Flash. If you try to run a local SWF from the Flash IDE to a web service online, you'll get a security warning which will throw the BadVersion error. However, the security error won't show up if you 'TEST MOVIE' so it took me a while to realize that. I changed my testing process to remove this variable. I am now able to implement my php class code successfully using AMFPHP, which essentially rules out my class as the issue (I think). It seems to be a problem with the Zend implemntation of AMF.
I have followed a tutorial from Lee Brimlow here: [URL]. I was unable to get this to work locally, and I've moved my content onto a web server and can call the Class and Method from my SWF. I've used Charles to view the response. When I go to validate the response in Charles I get this: Validator: Failed to Parse XML Document. Reason: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the CDATA section. Line: 65 Column: 87 Can it be handled in PHP?
Here is my ZendAMF code: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT); ini_set("display_errors", "on"); ini_set("include_path", "./frameworks"); require_once 'Zend/Amf/Server.php'; require_once 'Animal.php'; [Code] .....
I have downloaded a component using the duplicate symbol function, it works fine when published with Flash Player 7 but when I try to update it to Flash Player 8 and publish it produces this error message:[code]
My header is an mc with buttons that load swf's into a main content mc with this:on (release) { loadMovie("myswf.swf", _root.holder); and that works perfectly (content loads into mc with no page refresh).But..one of my loaded swf's has the same button code on a button to load swf's into the same mc and I get a page refresh.
I have a main swf file in that i have an empty movie clip in which i want the external swf to load...i made buttons n i have given gotoAndPlay specific frame function for them and... wen it enters that specific frame i have given loadMovie function in actions layer for that specific frame... but i dont know how to make a preloader for that so that it loads the external swf..
I've got an flex application where I have a left side TREE control and a viewstack on the right and when someone selects the tree it loads the named viewstack based on the hidden node value of the XML of the tree. But it's throwing a error 1065 variable not defined on a viewstack which worked on the last browser refresh/reload. It's not related to a particular viewstack from what I can tell it just seems to throw the error on certain render events. I've tried to use creationpolicy="all" on the viewstack but it seems to not be of.
I am editing a Flash file and I need to change a mailto: link. When I edit that link to change the email address I get several instances of error #1056. why such an arbitrary change would break everything .
Edit: Here are the errors:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property baseBackground on com.***t.csg.view.CSGWebsite.

I'm receiving the following error when trying to access a property of my array. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.The value I'm accessing works completely fine but the error above pops up when using the flash debug player only. My Firefox uses the flash debug player, Player Version: WIN 10,0,45,2 Debug Player: Yes. My IE which doesn't receive the error uses Player Version: WIN 10,0,45,2 Debug Player: No. The Player version info received by vising the flash version test page.
I'm using a custom event that gets dispatched from a class that makes a web service call.The web service call returns JSON data which I convert to an Object using JSON.decode from adobe corelib. After I have the Object, I use the below code to create an array from the Object.
Code:
//casts the right property to an array which has no problems var resultArray:Array = e.object.data as Array; //Accessing the value causes the debug player error output_txt.text = (resultArray.length.toString());
I have a basic movie, where on the main timeline i have a series of stops to pause the movie,so the user can choose to proceed by selecting a play button. When the play button is pressed it plays a video. While it is playing this video there is also a button on stage allowing the user to skip to a frame label. I also have drop down menu on the same frames the play button is on in the form of a movie clip.This drop down menu contains buttons which navigate to the main timeline, to different frame labels.
But after selecting a few buttions (using the menu in the movie clip or not) I get the error "'A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.
I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0; //one loader object per project: var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader(); loadingobject1.x = 445;
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.
