View 3 RepliesI am unable to unload content loaded by loader class.
View 4 RepliesThe title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.
View 13 RepliesI'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

How to remove a loader and its content using removeChild or any other way, I had removed the loader but its content still playing in the background i know that from the sound of the content.this is the my code for removing:
removeChild(getChildByName("SampleLoader"));
I can't seem to be able to figure out how to unload a JPG image once I've loaded it so I can load a second JPG in it's place. Here's my code so far (document class, picHolder_mc exists already on the timeline). All that happens is the second JPG being called loads on top of the first.

View 2 RepliesI'm coding an xml gallery with thumbnails. Ive set a container for the thumbs and for the main image. when user clicks on a thumb it loads the larger image. Preloaders are done all is well however when the user clicks on a nother thumb it just loads in the image over the last one. How can I cause it to delete the currently displayed image and then load the new one.
would :- removeChild work or do I need to use .unload on the loader?
I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
I am having some issues with my loader. What I have is one loader object that will load 5 different SWF loading xml galleries.It works fine the first time it loads, until I unload it to reload another gallery... then it will display its loading but nothing shows?
Code:
var gallery:String=new String ;
gallery="web";
var portIDReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("viewer"+this.gallery+".swf");
var portIDLoader:Loader = new Loader();
portIDLoader.x=0;
portIDLoader.y=0;

I have created 20 thumbnails using a for loop.
On each loop an instance of the loader class is created and an image shown from an xml file.
I want to unload these images (so they no longer use memory) at the click of a button.
I tried putting thumbLoader.unload(); into a new for loop but it only removes the last thumbnail. How can I get rid of them all.
Also how do I reference these loader instances in general?, using thumbLoader only allows me to talk to the last of the thumbnails created?
,nm. fixed.

View 1 RepliesI have used the loader class to play an external .swf file. When it is finished I need to stop it and continue to the next frame in the timeline of the original movie. I can load it and unload it, but how to I unload it after it has played and continue to frame 2 of the timeline?
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();myLoader.x = 150;myLoader.y = 75;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete) ;
function onComplete(e:Event):void{ myLoader.unload(); this.gotoAndPlay(2);}
With this code, it skips the loaded movie and goes straight to frame 2.

I have several thumbnails in my portfolio that dynamically load a .png file into the Loader component called myLoader.Followed the tutorial from Kirupa. Simple enough.
Code:
on(release){
myLoader.contentPath = "1-0.png";
}
When I (user) goes to click on a different client to view different work, artwork from the current client is still loaded, or being shown. I have the same myLoader Loader spread through the frames.I tried to put this
Code:
on(press){
unloadMovie("myLoader");
}
on each client button to clear the Loader before you go to each section, but that makes it disappear all together, than when you go to click a thumbnail, nothing happens because the Loader is gone.Is there a way to unload the .png files w/o killing the loader? Should I use a separate loader for each client? or will that just get messy.

I am trying to load external swf's from buttons. I managed to load an external swf from a button, but as a result I can't work out how to get it to unload when other buttons are clicked. Currently In the flash file I have only 2 buttons 'dutrain_b' and 'portfolio_b'. I would like to add many more when the code is working.

I have a loaderIt loads xml files, which are like galleries (each has many image paths inside)I loop over the xml nodes to get all the image pathsI create a new loader for each image (called imageLoader), and dump each one within a movieclip which is on the stage (called _storage)I need to switch between galleries so I need to unload the content of one xml file, then load a different one Does that make sense? My problem is this - currently I am simply removing _storage then creating it and loading into it again when I want to switch galleries. It works, visually. The galleries switch...but I don't think the images are actually being removed.[code]....
View 13 Repliesi successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.
