ActionScript 3.0 :: Reloading Movie To Clear Cache?
May 21, 2010
I have a Flash game that runs fine, and if the player loses he can retry by clicking the retry button. For some reason I have listeners from previous scenes that won't go away, or are malfunctioning, when the user hits retry and the game and starts back at frame one in the first scene (the actual game is at scene 2 but the retry takes them to scene 1). Is there a way that I can reload the whole movie so previous data won't show up when the player restarts the game? I am kind of looking for a "refresh movie" script for the .swf file.

Im sure someone may have posted something here before but unfortunately I do not know what to search for. I am wanting to have a variable which will remember if the current movie has been loaded at least once before. I want to load some music but want to ensure that all the other content has been loaded first. I realise that I can start loading after other content has been loaded but want it to be a suprize if you know what I mean.

I am at a loss as to why Firefox doesn't load right when it's loading from cache.
In my site, there are images that get loaded from an XML file immediately as a visitor enters the site. This loading starts and completes naturally when loading from a server... OR when I have the images loaded into cache and I navigate to the site with the browser's forward or back button. -It doesn't work when I press the browser's reload button. What gives? Is this a Firefox bug? I have Firefox 3.5.2 for Mac.

I don't want Flash to store the video and image files it pulls in when I test publish the swf. Somewhere it's keeping those files in cache, making it impossible to test a realistic download situation ( such as loading indicators, buffering bars, etc ) because the 'loading' file is immediately available in its entirety due to being stored in cache.

I have an issue with downloading an image from a URL that is not getting updated at runtime. I'm using a URLLoader to download the file initially at the start of the app from some URL, then later on there is a call to the server which re-compiles the image into something else. After that the image is being downloaded again from the exact same URL, but as far as I can tell it's not getting the updated version, but is getting it from the cache that flash creates.
If I restart the application after doing all of this it gets the correct image when it downloads at startup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to download the correct image at runtime. Does anyone have any idea how this can be accomplished?

Where are the signed, cached flex libraries on a windows / mac / linux system? They don't appear to be in my browser cache... so where is adobe keeping them? I found the files. But can I clear the cache? After trashing the files in windows, I don't see the files get downloaded again (with fiddler).

I remember reading something by theCanadian about this but I can't find it.I can't use the new Air API's in Flash IDE. I have followed the normal overlay instructions. Everything is correct in the application xml file, (3.3 namespace, swf version 16 is targeted).I deleted the xml, let a new one auto generate, but still failed to recognize the new APIs.
I changed the project from iOS, to android, back to iOS and now it works. So for that project at least, something was cached somewhere? Is there another way to "clear" some cache or memory related to this?

I have a swf with four frames. The first frame loads an external class that acts as traffic controller - looks at the root flashvars being passed in and redirects to frame 2, 3, or 4.
Frame 2 is a basic login screen. There's 5 layers - 2 background layers, the login screen, and a dummy text field. I also have trace statements on every layer, which I have speaking with javascript and writing out to the Firebug console. Since the swf requires database access to know what to do, it only works on a server.
The issue I'm having is that, occasionally, not all the layers on frame 2 load. All the actionscript on every layer fires successfully. What I'll do is clear my cache, and roughly 1 out of every 3 times, the only layer that's loaded is the bottom layer, or the bottom two layers.
I've removed the login movie clip and replaced it with dummy text - nothing. I put a preloader on the first frame - nothing. I created a loader swf to, in turn, load this problematic swf - nothing. I thought it might have something to do with order of rendering so I made those bottom layers semi-transparent - nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to further diagnose this problem? While it's intermittent, it happens often enough to demand a fix.

I don't want to resort to frames so I'm wondering if this is possible. I have an expanding menu on a php page, when user clicks on one of the menu items and the page reloads, the flash movie gets reload as well. I would like to keep it open to where it was, even if it reloads.
I'm using a modified version of Senoculars accordion menu and I thought the best way would be to pass a variable to the flash movie that tells it which menu the user clicked and so expand that menu.

I have a flash banner on every page in my site. I want it to continue playing rather than reloading when users change pages. Ive read that this can be achieved using flashvars.
I have this on frame 1 of my fla file now:
var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("displayCookie");
if(mySharedObject.data.displayed == true){
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);
trace("cookie found");
[Code] ....
But I don't know how to give the currentFrame the value it had at the time the page was refreshed. How do I put that in there?

I have a 2.3mb flash movie that appears in the header for every page in my web site. It's a design that I've already compressed by 20% and I am sort of stuck at this size. How can I tell flash to look to see if it's already loaded and just begin to play/loop it at the end. I am a relative newb and think that "gotoandplay' or 'gotoandstop" could work but I'm lost on coding in Flash or Dreamweaver itself?
The final frame of my file is 185.
My Dreamweaver code is attached.

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

one question, can I load a movie in any giving time of the main swf without playing it and play it when I choose to? Or, can I load to the cache a movie so I can play it later?

How do I go about preloading a swf into the browsers cache, but not into the preloader movie? There are a ton of flash sites out there that preload a movie and when the loading is finished have an "enter" button. That enter button sometimes launches a new window with the already loaded swf. How is that done?

I have read this tutorial but Im new to flash so I would be nice if someone could explain it a little bit more. Here is the AS:
myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()*10000);
loadMovie("myAnim.swf?uniq="+myIdentifier,1);
How do I use it? Lets say I have a movie with the name "movie1" and another movie with the name "movie2". Now I want to load "movie2" into "movie1" in an empty MC with the name "content" when I press a button.

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

i 'd like to know if there is a way to clear all Intervals in a movie with one command.in my current project I use setInterval()very often in different clips and though i cleanly put the corresponding clearInterval() commands in the script I realized, that on slow computers some of them don't get stopped.Which puts more weight on the CPU and sometimes slows down the comp very much.

I have an external swf, which uses an interval to space out the loading of JPEGs.
This swf is loaded into the main swf using the movieclip loader class. I unload the external swf when a button is pressed - and I am also attempting to clear the interval at this point. However, it's not working for me - when I click on another button to go back to the frame that loads the external swf, it is obviously running additional intervals. The JPEGs start loading faster and faster.
This is my code:
External swf -
PHP Code:
var fadeInterval:Number = setInterval(fadeIn, 750);
Main swf -
PHP Code:
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
createEmptyMovieClip("external", 3);
mclLoader.loadClip("flashElements/pics_home.swf", external);
[Code]....
Now the second bit of code is what I've come up with after trawling the internet for answers. I've come across more than one forum where people are having this exact problem, which is seemingly fixed by the above. However for me, no dice.

Suppose you have a slideshow movie that loads content such as images or Flash movies itself and continually replaces content with new images or movies as a viewer browses through content. Is there a way to store images or movies that have been loaded so that if the same content is selected they do not have to downloaded again? Presumably once content has been unloaded or something has ben loaded into the same level the data is wiped from memory and has to be downloaded if it is displayed again. How could content be stored in Flash or does the content stored in the browser cache take care of this?

I found something when I create bitmap data cache for each frame of a movie clip:I got a movie clip, instead of presenting it immediatly on stage, I created a bitmap data array to store each frame of it, so I'm doing:
var body:MovieClip; // some mc for body
var suit:MovieClip; // some mc for suit, frame count is the same as body mc
body["part"].addChild(suit); // it's a avatar, there's a sprite named "part" on body mc to contain suit mc
[Code]....
if i present the original body moive clip, everything is ok, but when I use cache, it begins to tremble, this is because the getBounds() method of movieclip returns different rectangle when mc is cached and mc is presented on stage. I tried trace out every getBounds() when caching and when Event.FRAME_CONSTRUCTED fire, they're different, making my cache crash!
I assum MovieClip class do not refresh until it's present to stage or some time in on frame, how can I get the real boundary of it if I need to cache it?

I have been looking around the web and in books for the last few hours and I can't seem to get an answer that is clear, at least not clear to me Question1 If an external class such as a document class is used, you cannot simply access a nested movie clip that has been dropped on the stage from the library using dot syntax, is this correct?

I have build a simple flash application to try to make changes to an xml and save it. The application has two buttons: load xml - that loads the xml and write xml - that saves whatever is in the textbox to the xml. Then when pressing load xml again, it should load the modified xml.
You can see the file here: [URL]
It works fine on localhost, but as I uploaded it to the sever it doesn't work!
flash code:
Code: Select allvar myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
var xml:XML;
var myRequest:URLRequest;
