I am successfully loading and using several swf's with bulkloader. They are games, and when the user is done with one they are returned to a main menu. However if they go back to the game it is is in its finished state. Is there a way to force bulkloader to "refresh" the swf to it's original state?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently using BulkLoader to load in swfs as MovieClips. What I'm trying to do though is duplicate the loaded movieclips and attach them to other clips?
I seen something that senocular posted about creating duplicates of display objects in AS3 but it didn't seem to work with BulkLoader and swfs?
Is there other ways to duplicate loaded movieclips?
My problem maybe a development problem is that i've a preloader file.This preloader with bulkloader load and external swf that is the index file.Now because of i'm using the preloader every stage reference in the index class like stage.stageWidth will generate a #1009 error. So my question is how can i access to the an index class function so that when the preloader's stage will resize some index sprites must will assume the new width of the stage?
View 0 RepliesI'm using BulkLoader as my main loading class for the project I'm working on. I would like to know how to set the name of a MovieClip that has been loaded with BulkLoader. Here's an example of my problem:The error I get is as follows:Code: Select allError: Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified.I have tried to set the name of the movieclip before I load set it to the swf that was loaded with BulkLoader, like this:Code: Select allvar random:MovieClip = new MovieClip();random.name = "random";random = _bulkLoader. getMovieClip ("randomSwf. swf");However, this results in the name property being changed to the random instance name that flash assigns it when it gets loaded in.So my question is, is there any way I can change the .name property of the movieclip that is loaded in with BulkLoader, so I can get access to it through the getChildByName() method?

View 3 RepliesI'm using bulkLoader to load my mp3 and flv files (thanks to dawsonk for hooking me up with the answer there), and now I need to be able to play/pause and jump ahead and back in the movie that I loaded, but I can't figure out how to reference it?Also, when I go to load another movie/audio from a button click, do I need to do anything with the old instance, or will flash take care of that??

I want to make a web radio and i want to have a box displaying the current song playing and the song that is going to be loaded after.
In fact i need a solution to the first one as the second is the same.
The streaming provider is going to provide me with a txt file that is going to be refreshed every time the song changes .
So we have a txt file changing it's contents , now how can i make the swf refreshing it self to read the new changed txt file and displaying it ?
The best solution would be the swf refreshing every time the txt changes but i believe this isn't possible. So how can i at least refresh it let's say every 2 minutes or so ?
I'm trying to make an AIR app that keeps loads a number from a webpage that is updated every 20 seconds. Basically it's a tiny app that will say how many calls are on hold.I've worked with some Actionscript 2.0, but 3.0 seems much more difficult to me.I used the following code to load the number from the url into a text box. I tried to use a timer to reload it and just can't get it right, and am not sure really what the best way to do it would be.

I'm using bulkLoader to load an mp3 and an flv using their simple-example.as
It works fine if I make the SimpleExampleMain the file's class, loads sound and video and plays them both when they're finished. However, if I DON'T make it the class and just use:
Code:
var se:SimpleExampleMain=new SimpleExampleMain();
it loads both, plays the audio fine, but doesn't show the video?? It says that it's loaded, but it doesn't show anything. NOTHING is different except it's not the file Class...
Here's the SimpleExampleMain.as:

i'm working on a project that uses a lot of external files (sounds, videos...)So I decided to use the class Bulkloader to load my items.
First item I try to load : i'm stuck.The item (a flv) is loaded, but is not playing once the COMPLETE event is fired.All the code above is in the first frame of my flash. (I don't like to work with external classes).
Code:
import br.com.stimuli.loading.BulkLoader;
import br.com.stimuli.loading.BulkProgressEvent;

The 'loaded' string IS traced so everything works fine until that.Seems it is the resume() function (or something else ?) that do not work.
I'm having a little issue during my project, cause I can't use those "normal" preloaders. The problem is that I have all the website-graphics in the library, export in frame 1 (because I don't have any more frames than that, everything is done by actionscript), so I need some magic trick to show the loading bar, while loading, though everything is in the library... I tried this one here, to load my stuff from another swf :[URL] BUT... it gave me this little error here:

I'm having a particularly frustrating issue with the BulkLoader API [url] that I thought perhaps someone here might be able to help resolve. What I'm trying to do, is to capture the metadata from a loaded .flv (through Bulkloader) so that I can check its duration. In all my efforts to facilitate this, Bulkloader either misfires once the video has loaded and/or returns null. For the sake of preventing redundancy, here is what I've tried/checked so far...
-I've pulled the metadata of my video(s) through a simple custom net connection... so it is there, and I can grab the duration this way. However, in this particular case, I need the data from BulkLoader.
-I've encoded/re-encoded the video(s), and have also injected custom data. Still no luck.
-I've changed the loading parameter "pausedAtStart" to true, as suggested, and have used netStream.seek() to jump to later frames or back to the first.
Needless to say, this is a very frustrating issue that I just can't seem to find a way around. Here is a link to my source files w/Bulkloader library: [url].
Here is a look at the code:

Anyone have any experience with bulk-loader for multiple files? Its great for preloading single files, but I am now trying to preload essentially a folder of images. The images have different names (and will change over time), so I can't just create a for loop to preload for example 'image01' then 'image02' etc. They are referenced via XML however, and I'm wondering how I could loop through those, and use bulk-loader to retrieve these...? Essentially I'm confused about integrating XML nodes with bulk-loader, and then also about how to do it with multiple images...?

View 2 RepliesI'm using BulkLoader to load in images, SWFs, XML, etc into a game. When working local, the content property on the LoadingItem is always good depending on the type of asset: Bitmap if it's an image, MovieClip if it's a SWF etc. When I test the same swf, but under localhost, or online, the content property is always a Loader object. Is this normal? Am I missing out a parameter or something?

I am using bulkLoader to load dozens of SWFs into my Flex app, and all of SWFs are static (1 frame only). 'Everything' works fine, however, I'm not sure how to handle data from bulkLoader... I am getting MovieClip types for all of my SWFs, and I am not sure how to tell to Image or SWFLoader classes to use some of those MovieClips as source.

I've got some coding to create buttons into an array, and on press of these buttons the function should remove something from another array and remove the last one of the line, so far the coding is working for the first removal, however thereafter the other buttons stay there I think it's to do with the line in bold but I cant put my finger on what's wrong with it! The trace's I've set look plausible...

I'm having a problem refreshing an xml file. I am bringing it in through an HTTP service component and putting it into a bindable array _cattArr, that I am using as the dataprovider for a grid.When someone adds an item to the datagrid, it saves to the same xml file. Then I close the window, reopen it and don't see the item that has been added.It is writing to the xml file, because when I restart the flex app, the item has been added, it's just not refreshing it. I have tried to resend the httpservice, but still no luck. What is the correct process for doing this?

Is there a way to refresh a component or an application back to its initial state? I have an accordion navigator that stays on the most recently selected index even if I log out. Right now, my log out function takes me back to the login page which is at state(1). If I log back in and go into the accordion, it is on the last tab I had viewed.I would like to be able to clear any data from the controls inside the nav and reset the nav back to its default. I thought something like,
public function logout():void{
currentState = "NotLoggedIn"
myAccordion.initialize(); }
would work but nothing happens. This is done in Flex 4.I know I can make a huge loop clearing each control individually and setting the selectedIndex of the accordion to 0.
I am hardly getting experienced on Actionscript3 but I sometimes get stuck.I want to use complex if function. what I am trying to say is;if, gezegenler.rotation not equal to 0 or 120 or 60 info text = ajdusting.
ActionScript Code:
else if (geegenler.rotation !==0||120||60){
bilgi.text = "adjusting....";}
is this usage possible or not Also, use stage as an event listener to update the textbox. But the event is mouse event and mouse move.. are there any muuch reliable ways doing this? Because when I do not move my mouse it does not change.

However, after an unpredictable amount of time it will stop refreshing - appearing as if it has frozen. But escaping the app out of fullscreen mode will cause it to instantly revive into action as if nothing had happened. Returning to fullscreen then will once again "freeze" after time, but its not technically freezing due to memory issues, it just won't continue to display unless escaped.
View 2 RepliesThe preloader works fine in all browsers except in IE if you reload (refresh) the webpage the preloader stops at 0. It works OK the first time if your cache is cleared but not the second.
I've published directly from Flash and using same html page.
I cannot seem to get a swf to get refreshed data from an external txt file on a localhost (I am using Xampp on a mac), whereas the very simple dynamic textboxes that I have load the data easily from my regular hard drive folder.
