ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload External SWF Before Loading New One
Feb 4, 2009
I am building a portfolio, but lately I've been experienced some annoying problems with loading external swfs into a container. Everything works like charm, but when I load new clips into the container, they are just put on top of the old ones - which I naturally don't want to happened. This is the current coding I use for two of the different links. I pressume that one solution would be to add a removeChild, but I've not succeeded placing this in the right place yet.
ActionScript Code:
fashionBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fashionBN);
function fashionBN(event: MouseEvent) {
var goFashion =new Loader();
goFashion.load(new URLRequest('fashionPRE.swf'));
contentsMC.addChild(goFashion) }

My project is PC software and not related to web.It contains of Main menu and 3 external SWF (Total 4 Files).Inside the Main-Menu 3 buttons , when the user click on button # 1 or # 2 or # 3 I want a code to unload the main menu first then open external swf # 1 or #2 or #3 depending on which button user click.I use this code to load the external SWF:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("f1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
Its working fine but the problem it load the external swf with the main menu in the same time! what I want a code first unload Main-menu then loading external swf. and another code in external SWFs to exit to Main-Menu with ofcorse unload the swf first then exit to main-menu.

I'm trying to unload an external SWF on _root to load a new one instead. I've tried (almost) everything but can't figure it out... I get this error : "Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

I'm sure this question has been answered but I have been looking everywhere and all I can find is how to load an external SWF but not how to unload it. I come from a basic knowledge of AS2 and it was easy for me to load using levels but I have run into a wall. I have a main swf and to keep the initial filesize small I would like to split some image intensive sections out and load them when needed.

My index page has two buttons... 'about' and 'portfolio' which loads each respective external swf into a holder.When 'portfolio' is loaded there are another 8 buttons which again load 8 external swfs into a holder in the portfolio.swf. Each of the 8 external swf files load fine, but is there anyway to have a back button instead in each of the 8 external swf to go back to the portfolio.swf without having to click the 'portfolio' button?i have tried _root.unloadMovie.... but it just clears the stuff on my index page and loads the portfolio.swf

Flash CS4 - AS3
I'm creating a small flash movie into which i'm loading in seperate swf files. All of the external swf files load into a movie clip called pageContainer_mc when their relevant button is clicked.
When testing the movie and clicking the buttons to load in the different swf files, it becomes slugish after a while. Would it help if i unloaded the previous swf file before loading the new one. If so, how would i achieve this.
This is how i am loading in the swf files:
Code: Select allshowsText_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoShows);
function gotoShows(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
pageContainer_mc.addChild(myLoader);

I have a movie wherein on the stage I have a empty MC with the instance name of mainImage.
There is a menu with listeners that load in different swfs externally into this 'mainImage' clip. The problem I discovered is that I cant seem to unload the old swfs upon the loading of a new one.[code]...

I have a main SWF (=Homepage) which displays contents that are external SWFs. Now I have figured out how to load external SWF in my Homepage (when you click a button - see code below), but I don't know how to unload them according to my needs... See, I have a "close button" in every external SWF and with AS3, I'm a little lost on how I should proceed to make this button unload the external SWF displayed on the Homepage...

I use this code on external swf's (launched from Home swf). Home swf is already playing in the background...so maybe I don't even need a "get URL", maybe I need to just bring to front (and play from certain frame)?
this code works to get Home swf but I think the child swf is still running in the background? How can I A:unload the swf this button is in when this button's clicked OR B: just unload this swf without reloading home swf.

Everything works perfect except for one problem I just can't figure out. On the homepage, called "home_page_swf", I have three buttons at the end of three paragraphs that say "Learn More" and need them to trigger the "home_page_swf" to unload itself and replace it with one of the other external swf pages. I basically want the three buttons within the "home_page_swf" to perform the same function as the "Services", "Portfolio", and "Team" buttons that are located in main swf. I've been trying to read up on it and I keep finding something about "Dispatch Even" but can't figure out how to apply it to the code I am using for the website I'm working on. I'll post the code below for the main navigation swf and what the labels are for the buttons that are inside the external swf called "home_page_swf".
Main SWF with main navigation buttons:
var Xpos:Number = 0.0;
var Ypos:Number = 0.0;

OK this should be the last of the coding to complete my AS2 to AS3 conversion of a site. The AS2 site had an external photogallery .swf that loaded from a navigation button on the main timeline. It used the loadMovie function so it loaded a photogallery on top of the main .swf in level one.
I also had unloadMovie,1 in all the navigation buttons so if a user was in the gallery and they clicked anywhere else in the main .swf which is all in level 0 the gallery in level 1 would be deleted.
In this situation the gallery that will be loaded on top of the main.swf needs to be a little smaller than the main ,swf so the navigation on the top of the main shows through. If the main.swf is 900 x 600 I would need to load the photogallery on top which would be 900 x 450 and need to use x and y coordinates so when the swf loads it loads in the right spot.

Is it possible to add the code to the last frame of the external SWFs internal timeline, so when it exits the last frame, it unloads itself.The script to load the SWF is below. Can I add the unload code to the last frame of timeline of the SWF?[code]

All of my buttons load their respective external swf files. However, they load on top of each other. How do I set each button to UNLOAD the external swf's that have already been loaded by the previous buttons.Here is what I have now:
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF);
var fl_Loader:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF

I am building an on-line game for autistic children, and I am facing a problem where I load a SWF to play a mini game. Although when the mini game is over I want to go back to the original SWF (and a different scene to which I left.)
I use:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("hidenseek.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
stop();
To load the swf, although I can't figure out how to unload it on a frame, and then on top of that take it back to original SWF to a new menu?
A work around could be to just have the new menu in the loaded SWF? Could I unload the original SWF or do I have to always keep it open?

I have a Flash project where I need to load and unload external SWF' files. I have it working, but it seems that after the second time it attempts to unload and load, it has strange results. have 4 SWF's. The Main.swf and the other external 3 that will need to load. n the main SWF I have create the loader this this code:
[Code].....
This seems to work and load the other two SWF's the second one (M-2_WIB.swf) works fine. It successfully unloads the first SWF, and loads the second. But when it get's to the third, it chokes. It does successfully load that third swf (M-3_HOACS.swf), but once it loads it seems to freeze on the first frame, and no action script continues to work. The strange thing is, if I just run the third SWF (M-3_HOACS.swf) independently, it works fine. SO there is something in the loading that is causing it to freeze. Is this a problem in the way I have the loader scripted, or maybe the way I am using addChild?

I have been trying to put together a file that has a few buttons that when clicked begins a preloader animation (with the current swf still on stage and visiable) that once the preloader is completed it will play an exit animation of the current swf then plays the intro animation of the selected swf. An example link of exactly how im wanting the swfs/preloader to interact together is here....costumize.me...Im attaching the file I have so far.
