ActionScript 3.0 :: Restarting Preloaded Swf Clips?
Oct 15, 2009
I have a container swf that preloads 4 other swf's and the user can navigate between all 4.
The problem is that once loaded, the animations for all the swf's begin immediately. So the animation for the 4 swf could be finished before the user ever sees it.
I've tried reloading the swf as a new URLRequest, but that caused an issue: when I test using a simulated slower connection it causes a slight delay in the loading of the swf.
Is there a way to restart a preloaded swf?

I'm having some trouble with loadSound. I've created a portfolio section for a company that has short (1:30) mp3 clips. The clips are being loaded in dynamically through an XML doc. For whatever reason, when the sound loads, it plays for almost exactly 2 seconds, then restarts and plays all the way through. My flash is set up in three frames, the first two are the main gallery, then frame three is where the sound is loaded and played. "p" is defined by which icon in the gallery is clicked.

I'm running ubuntu 9.1 firefox 3.5.9 and flash player 10.1 r53. You tube works okay but napster every single track that gets to about 40 seconds restarts - and this isn't because of my subscription since it works on my laptop and desktop. Also [URL] movies restart eveysingle time too. Running on advent 4213 netbook.

I have a box with question marks as buttons coming in from the right and then the main timeline stops, waiting for the user to rollover each button. When you roll over each question mark, the audio plays along with the corresponding text for each button. After all the buttons have been rolled over, I need to continue the main timeline from where it stopped to finish the scene.

Hon the wallets page, when you click to view a wallet you get a slight delay and I'm guessing that this is because I've put the preloader in the swf being loaded, hence not being able to see the thing your loading until its been loaded.how I would put the preloader in the main movie and what kind of code I would use? At the moment the timeline being loaded basically tells the playhead to goto and play frame (whatever) when the movie is loaded.

Is there a way to enable a vhost without having to restart the entire fms server?It seems very horrible that you would have to kill everyone using the server to add new vhost?

I have Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5.5 on Windows 2008 server. I developed video chat application (many to many), it's only 1 FMS application with about 50-100 room instances and 1 lobby instance to which all users are connected. There are up to 600 - 700 users at a time which produce about 2000-2500 connections to FMS. Problem I have is with steady raise of memory usage, which if goes little above 2GB will make FMS unresponsive and it would restart itself after about 1-2hours. To avoid that Im restarting FMS manualy every 3-4 days. Interesting thing I noticed is that if I restart FMS from admin console, used RAM memory won't fall at levels as if it would right after whole Windows server is restarted

I am building a website where I have a fade-in MC of a box. What I want it to do is fade_in every time you switch to another page. At this point, once it fades in for the first time, the MC does not fade-in for the other pages, it is just there. I have a stop() in the last frame of the MC and no reference of the MC in the AS in Scene 1.

Try to simulate the OnPress/OnRelease aspect of earlier versions. It is working so far, but when I press the space bar, it goes around once, then stops. If you check the output, it is looping back to the enter aspect, so it looks like it is not working, but it just keeps restarting. I need to make the enter frame event not work since the keypress is already down, and only work on the first time I press it.
var spacebarKeyDown:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveChar);
function moveChar(event:Event):void{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeysDown);
function checkKeysDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

when running an SWF some variables are being changed and objects created.If I wanted to restart the clip I have to restore all the variables to their starting values, clear all Intervals if any and destroy the objects created at runtime.If instead I load the clip into itself using [code]
1. what is the difference between loadMovie(swf_file_name, this) and loadMovieNum(swf_file_name, 0) in this context and which one is preferable?
2. Both obviously reset the values. But do these functions perform rubbish collection, i.e. free memory of the objects created at previous run-time, clear Intervals etc to prevent memory leak and processor clogging ?

I've found lots of answers on making a button visable after a swf has loaded but not a flv. I am preloading an flv, well 20secs of it, then it starts playing. But I have a 'play' button on the stage and it sits there tempting people to hit it whilst the preloading bar works its magic preloading the flv. I want the button to be visable only after the flv has loaded or at least until it starts to play.[code]

I have a simple FLA which loops through some keyframes and randomly places movie clips on the stage.
Frame 1:
Contains nothing
Frame 2:
Code:
_root.tile.duplicateMovieClip("tile"+i,i+1)
_root["tile"+i]._x=Math.random()*800;
_root["tile"+i]._y=Math.random()*600;
[code]....
On Frame 4, I add a button which I'd like to use to restart the whole thing.
The button has this AS on it:
Code:
on (release) {
i=0;
var ref = null;

I've created several buttons and each contains a movie clip. I then placed each button on the main scene. Everything works well except the movie restarts every time the button over event is fired. I added a mouse over listener to each button so I can reposition the button. However, the movie restarts even if I don't reposition the button. (i.e. Button 1 is active and the mouse leaves the player and returns to Button 1.) How do I keep the movie that is embedded in the button from restarting?

I am sometimes (sporadically) facing the problem, that I cannot connect to FMS server with FMLE, using username and password.When I then restart FMS everything is working correct again. A customer discribed that he was not able to reconnect to the fms, as soon as he closed the FMLE without stopping encoding process?I am using the default authentication plug-in in FMS 3.5.6 on a 64-bit Debian.Everything else is working correct, only reconnecting with encoding-software (like FMLE) is not working.Is there any possibility to get the authentication working again, without restarting the whole fms process?

[URL]. Site works fine after a lot of experimentation but there's 1 problem. If you start the video and go to another tab the audio continues go back again and it starts again, this can happen multiple times. I am using a flv playback component.

I'm currently working on a detailed music media management application in Flash. There is a mp3 player which plays music and has a playback seeker (keeps track of current time for track and a tiny pin that that increases its x position as the track plays). I have a simple play & pause button that does appropriate functionality of playing & pausing the track, but the issue is that I have to pause the Timer associated with updating the playback seeker. The seekerTimer object has a delay of 1000 (1 second), while I'm listening to a track, the timer may have already excuted 600 ms, only waiting for 400 ms till the next timer event is dispatched to update the playback seeker. If I hit the pause button at 600 ms of execution time and I do a seekerTimer.stop(); and then a seekerTimer.start();, the timer does not resume its execution and instead restarts executing from 0 ms. This means that the playback seeker is not updated accordingly.
How can I pause the timer when I hit my pause button (essentially store the execution time), and then resume execution when I hit the play button? The play button doesn't have any parameters to start executing from a certain time. I looked at tutorials online but they all rely on the getTimer(); function, this returns a value of how long the Flash player has been running (from initialization). The issue is that the mp3 player in this Flash app doesn't initialize upon the application initalization (I know its a bit confusing).

I have a movie clip that generates random numbers until the numbers I specify come up. The movie clip takes a random amount of time to cycle through. It only plays once.
Basically, I want the main timeline of the movie to pause until the movie clip finishes, then continue on (to a new scene, or current scene if this is easier).
I got the main timeline to stop and wait for the MC to play, however, when I add the _root.play() to the end of the MC script, it plays the main timeline right away, over the main timeline, rather than waiting for itself to finish.

my site is finished but as it's quite a large SWF the preloader and logo doesn't appear on screen untill it's load about 40% loaded.
Is there any way to get the logo on screen before anything else comes up rather than just having a black screen? (without breaking the main movie into smaller ones).

ive been building a site for about a month now and slowly piecing it together- so far ive managed to get all my various different levels loading and unloading the way i want them to, but now id like a little status bar to load on screen as my multiple levels are loaded in the background.The way ive been accomplishing this without the load bar is like so:on first frame of main movie loadMovieNum("dl_web.swf", 3);load MovieNum("dl_ illustration.swf", 4);loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);(the first frame of each of those movies has a stop function on it)And i have buttons on the main movie that make each of those levels visible and play.NOW, ive just created a movie clip ive named "bar" which is a thin rectangle, and i would like to have that movie clip load lengthways as my multiple levels are loaded in the background. So, my question is how do i accomplish this? I've looked all over and it seems like all the good preload tutorials are loading into movieclips whereas i am loading into levels.Right now my site is technically working, but there will be pauses for people with slower internet connections and i need my bar graphic to pop up so they dont think they are dealing with a broken site....

In my application, I make numerous calls to preload images to brower cache in the background using Loader instances and ignore the complete event. I don't store the results in the application, but rather want to store them in the browser cache. The images have long Expires header dates.
When I want to use a particular image(s), I again use a Loader instance and call the same url and listen for the complete event to load the file to an Image.
The problem is that when I re-request the url for the "cached" image, it is making an http request with response 200 status, which I presume means it is hitting the server. How do I make sure that a request for a cached image never hits the server from Flex? I am finding that any request to a url for a cached image (with a long expires header) is making another request to the server, or at least that is my interpretation of it in Firebug.

I'm trying out the preloader method shown on [URL] and its working fine until I use any reference to 'stage' in the loaded swf.
My loaded swf works fine if I test it on its own, but when I run the preloader which loads it, I get an error 1009 - I have found out (by a series of elimination) that its as soon as I reference 'stage' in the document class of the loaded swf

I recently put together a gallery based on examples that Stringy posted here.A couple improvements have been made, there is now a forward/back button that is sensitive to which photo you're on...thumbnails appear only on rollover. Run locally, it works perfectly.But there's a problem. For this particular project, there NEED to be 30 photos loaded in to the gallery, and they're biggish, average = 130k/per. When i'm running it live, the first 15 photos work fine (using the next/button) ... but once you reach the final 20...it CRAWLS. Most browsers I've tested it on crash at 28.Now, I don't know if this is just a feature of having so many images (if so, is there any way I can make a buffer of the next 5 images preloaded, and then delete those that were cached after I've viewed them?)
