ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweening UILoader Loading External SWF?
Nov 19, 2011
-Actionscript 3-Flash CS5-TLF Text-onlyIs this even possible? I see tutorials on tweening a UILoader that's loading in and external image, but I have not found anything on actually tweening a UILoader that's loading an external SWF.I've attempted to and all I get is a migraine.This is what I have so far; and it works exactly as I want it to:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Having trouble getting this to work. I have a UILoader encased in a Movieclip (there's a semi-transparent background behind the loader). I have this UILoader set via AS3 to load an external SWF.
All this is in the same folder. Basically, I wanted to compartmentalize a website I'm doing of my favorite hobby (Gaming).
It all works...until I add the Fade In/Out Tween. Then the only thing that Fades In is the movieclip; the page does not load and results in this "issue" (not error):
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value.
at mainSite_fla::MainTimeline/pageOpen()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
[Code]...
I pretty much can guess what the issue is. The page hasn't loaded and thus for some reason the tween prevents the UILoader from pulling in the SWF. But I have no clue what to change to get it to work. If I put the Load part (.load and it's var) inside the FadeIn function then the page loads successfully...only Tween gets "hung" at about 50% fade in. And since this is just the 'main page' that will end up loading all the other pages on top of it. I can't just embed the movieclip I want to tween into this FLA Project; something about a multi-meg website...
Here's the Code of the Tweened Open/Close:
Code:
//Tween System
var tweenFadeIn:Object;
var tweenFadeOut:Object;

I am trying to add an alpha tween to my UILoader that is linked to a folder of images so that they fade between images when you click on the "next" or "prev" buttons, as well as a preloader status for each image as it loads in (although that is less important, as most connections load in the images fast enough, but perhaps a preloader for the initial image would be good)... Here is what I have, as of now everything is set up to work without a tween or preloader...

On my scene there are two UILoaders. The first one loads swf-file that has a button in it. This works fine. But I want to second UIloader to load another swf when the button on the first one is clicked. I've been struggling with this for two days (nights). In as2 this was easy by using _root. But how is it done in as3?

I have changed the UILoader box position for different labeled frames. But the UILoader keeps loading the content at the same place, no matter what the content I ask him to load. If I move the UILoader at the middle of the page, the content still loads / appears on top of the page as if the UILoader

im using a uiloader for a library on my website. ive got 8 video in seperate swf. files. each have there own preloader which i gave because i used the streaming option for the videos but they didnt always load and i wanted it to be more reliable maybe i did something wrong but im new to this so i did it they way i thought would work .

I am trying to dynamically load images through the UI Loader component. Attached are the errors I get, and although I think that the coding is close to correct, when I publish, it just flashes up then restarts the movie...

I am loading dynamically a big image into a uiLoader component. And using the following lines:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followFrame); function followFrame(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = myUILoader.x + mouseX; myUILoader.x -= dx / 10; var dx1:int = myUILoader.y + mouseY; myUILoader.y -= dx1 / 10;
I manage to make the image following the mouse just fine. But the image always off center, as the registration ponit of the uiLoader would be on the left size, even if I try to align it to the center of the stage by:
myUILoader.x = (myUILoader.stage.stageWidth / 2) - (myUILoader.width / 2); myUILoader.y = (myUILoader.stage.stageHeight / 2) - (myUILoader.height / 2);

Please help I've been researching this topic for like 2 days straight and it is driving me insane because I can't seem to find a specific answer for what I'm trying to achieve and I know it can be done because I've seen end results on the web. Here is what I'm doing:
1. I created a simple museum gallery with 3 portraits hanging on the wall
2. Inside the museum portraits I created 3 different uiLoaders with a black background
3. I gave all 3 uiLoaders their own unique movieClip names
3. Inside each uiLoader will be a loaded external image via a URL
4. I DO NOT want to resize the uiLoaders - I want to scale the external images proportionately to fit inside the entire contents of the uiLoaders and still remain centered
URL...As you can see currently the 3 random external images are loaded perfectly inside the uiLoaders but you see black background and I want the photos to fit the entire contents of the uiLoaders yet still remain proportionate.[code]

I have a typical logo on the right top corner and a menu bar just above it. Above the menu bar, I have a UIloader in which I load photoalbum.swf when one of the menu buttons is pressed. The problem is that setting the scaleContent property to true doesn't load my external swf.Setting it to false, everything appears as expected, except that the bottom part of my photo album is cut since the scaleContent property set to false (this makes the loaded swf file's size the same as the stage's and as the UIloader begins just above the menu, the bottom part gets cut off).

I'm quite fond of the "Copy Motion as Actionscript 3.0" feature. I think it's pretty neat. However, the XML-based animation only works when the XML variable is in the code. I'm trying to make it so where I can place the XML-based animation tags in an external XML file, and then load it into the application. I prefer to have it this way as opposed to having the XML tags hardcoded into the app.
Here is the XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Motion duration="30" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

I created a site using Kirupa's external .swf loading tutorial. Now in one of my externally loaded .swf's, I am loading another external .swf. I've gotten this to work fine, but the second external .swf (loaded into the first) contains buttons that will swap this second external .swf with another external .swf. I can't seem to get the AS references to the variables set up correctly in order to swap the swf's. The initial .swf loads fine, but the button control gets complicated inside it. It sounds rather confusing, so I've included a link to the .fla's and .swf's below.

The file structure:
-band.swf load's profiles_main.swf
-The buttons in profiles_main.swf are trying to load chris.swf (swapping it entirely with profiles_main.swf)

everything was going fine on a website project I've been working on, until yesterday. I'll try to explain the whole scenario first, and I'll put the code in here too so anyone can try to figure out what is wrong. Here's the breakdown of the site:
1) There is a MAIN SWF file that plays an intro and then stops on the last frame with the "Main" Navigation buttons.
2) Inside the Root folder where the MAIN SWF resides, there is another folder called "swfs" which contains six main external navigation pages, as well as another folder called "galleries" which contains additional external swf files for six gallery pages.
3) On one of the layers of the MAIN SWF, there is a movie clip called "mySWFLoadingClip" that the "Main" Navigation buttons load and unload the external swf pages onto. These all work perfectly. The problem start on the next step. This is the code I used for the navigation buttons on the MAIN SWF timeline:
[Code]...
If anyone can help me figure this out I would be really grateful. This is a very important project and the deadline is coming up very soon. Please help me figure out how to load an External SWF onto the main time line and then load an additional external swf from within the first external swf. I'm stumped.
