I`m using AS3 + CS4, and have a problem. At the main page I have "loader" - UILoader, in which I want to load one of the 2 swfs - it depends of 2 buttons on stage
[Code]...
By default main_ru.swf is loaded, and after I press en_button I can see only a part of main_en.swf, and larger part of main_ru.swf. why?
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).
View 2 RepliesI've created 5 buttons to load 5 different external swfs into my webpage. I use the following script. How do I unload it when the next button is been clicked. [code]
View 3 Replieshere is the scenario..I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple buttons ...it currently works for a button loading a single swf. The name of the instance name of the buttons is the same as the name of the swf file that they load so I thought I could do something that when the button is clicked it would pass the name of the button into the URLRequest but I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using.

for some reason escapes me: using AS3 how can a swf load another swf to replace itself in the same loader on the stage, while simultaneously calling a randomizing function in the first frame of the main timeline, to randomize the next swf?At the end of each swf (called "koan_#.swf") there is the following old AS2 code...it was used to randomly select and then play a swf from koan array:
_root.index++
if(_root.index>_root.koan.length-1){
_root.index=0;

I'm working on a portfolio site that loads external images and swfs (using loadClip). Many of the swfs are banners that have stuff that's viewable off the stage...whoever developed them wasn't smart enough to mask it off, and I don't have the source files.
The first problem I have is the extra stuff is showing up when i load it. The second is that its messing up the width and height properties of the clip (which I need to use to resize a frame that fits around the loaded swf/image). Is there anyway to get the size that the swf document was actually set to with actionscript? That way I can set up a mask. Otherwise I think I'd have to manually create an fla with a mask and correct size for each existing swf that externally loads that swf. Unless anyone can think of a better solution?
So I want to make some movie clips function as buttons to load some external swfs. I have this action script on the mc's:
on (release)
{
loadMovie("Chuck.swf", "motionmc");
}
It was working when it was a button, but now nothing happens?
I had to create a menu using array and I had to animate it. With some great expertise from people, I've accomplished that. But now I have a question about OOP, because I'm trying to add functionality to the buttons to load swfs into my main movie. Even though I strictly follow tutorials and exercises, I can't figure out how to reference a variable made in one class to another. For instance, I have index.as, navbar.as, and menubutton.as. I assume I need to add a loader to my index.as. But I can't trace the loader in my other classes. I've been told to effectively accomplish this, it is best to use custom event dispatchers. But I'm lost on how to use them.

I am loading swfs into a movie clip. However, the contact button is not a loaded swf any longer. It's in the main flash page. This is what I want to do. All the buttons load the external swfs except when I click on the contact button that is in the main flash page. I need to get the other buttons to load after I click the contact flash button. Below is the code for the contact button and the one under for one of the other buttons.

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

Im trying to get a loader on stage to open external swf files. I have my nav buttons inside of a movieclip but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code I have on an actionscript layer inside of the nav movieclip
Code:

var project:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Projects.swf");
var about:URLRequest = new URLRequest("About.swf");
var contact:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Contact.swf");

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I am building a gallery inside of flash using the UILoader component and some buttons. UILoader is preloaded with p1.jpg.I have written script to allow the button to go to the next picture in the folder like so:[code]But instead of going through all the pictures sequentially it gets stuck on p2.jpg. It only advances after several clicks and then goes back to p2.jpg. Can anyone tell me why it is behaving like this? Thanks.

View 1 RepliesI have a program that plays swf files in the UILoader. The program counts the number of customers that use the program by adding 1 to a variable called customerCount each time a button is pressed. I am trying to design one of the swf files so that it can access and diaplay the accumulated value of customerCount. Can someone help me to find the actionscript code that will let me display the value of customerCount in the swf file.
View 7 Repliesis it possible to load dynamic/animated gifs using a UILoader by any chance? Simply stating its source just gives a static image which is no good ~_~
View 2 RepliesI've started with a new Flash file and wanted to toy around with loading images and resizing the UILoader to the size of the loaded image. I've added a UILoader (instance name: loadImage) component to the main timeline and added the following code in the Actions window:
loadImage.source = "bookmark.png";trace( loadImage.content );
The image displays properly after compiling and viewing the SWF. However, loadImage.content returns null, instead of the DisplayObject that contains the image. This way, trying to resize the UIloader according to the loaded image doesn't work, since I can't access variables of an object that hasn't been initialized.
All the documentation states that loadImage.content should contain the DisplayObject that's loaded after setting loadImage.source or using loadImage.load( new URLRequest( "bookmark.png" ) ) (which also has the same problem).
I'm would like to use the UILoader to randomly load an image from an array according to the day of the week. The attached FLA file is in AS2, it is exactly what I would like to do but now in AS3. I've been able to successfully trace the date using:
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());
In AS2 I used this the loadMovie function to randomly display SWF's in the movieClip. From what I can tell loadMovie is not an option in AS3 making me think that using the UILoader may be a good solution.This is what my code looks like in AS2 (also attached the FLA file):
loadShow = function() {
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());[code]....

View 5 RepliesI have a UI loader that loads images (arabic file names) from folder based on some user input. The images loads fine when i'm opening the SWF file, but when it's on an HTML page, the files' names are encoded some how and then not loaded. When I write the full path of an image in the browser's address bar, the image opens fine. Is there away I can keep the file names in arabic, and make them load when the swf object in an HTML page?

I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.

I have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.
