ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload Loader / Remove Child / Close Button
Oct 16, 2011
i 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'.

I have a parent SWF into which I load a child SWF. I want to have a close button in the Child SWF (not the parent!) which closes/unloads it from the parent swf. Been looking all over but can't find any solutions that work.Here's my code for loading the child SWF from the parent's timeline:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("child.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);[code]...
What should I put in the child SWF to unload itself?

Experience: I'm a newbie to AS3 - making the transition from AS2. Problem: I have a parent SWF into which I load a child SWF.

What should I put in the child SWF to unload itself? Apologies if this presumably simple task has been covered, please point me to the thread.

My problems comes in when you have to open a different image album and have to eliminate all the previously loaded children in the movieclip. When i load a new album i used a code you posted here: AS3 How to remove previous loadersbut the problem is that sometimes the user leaves the album page before ALL the pics laod so when they click on a new album to open it a new image is placed somewhere else cause the loader has already been launched. I've tryd to close() the loader but it doesn't seem to work.Here you can see the working site to see what im talking abouy you have to click on an album, leave before all the pictures load and open up another one.
getImage(dataList[0].file)
function getImage(href:String):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

[code]I've marked two locations where this fails in the function pause(). I'm new to Flex/Actionscript/Flash. From what the error says, I assume that from the function, I cannot clea/remove the child loader, because it has a different parent. If I am correct with that, how do I know what the parent is?[code]

i have a movie called with:
Code:
_root.attachMovie("biography", "biography", _root.mylogo.getDepth()-1, {_x:Stage.width/2, _y:Stage.height/2});
and within each i have a close button with:
Code:
close_bt.onPress = function() {
unloadMovie(_root.biography);
};
but now i have a problem, im trying to use:
Code:
if (!_root.biography) {
_root.attachMovie("biography", "biography", _root.mylogo.getDepth()-1, {_x:Stage.width/2, _y:Stage.height/2});
}
to call the move again if there isnt already an instance of it but it only works the first time the movie was called, it wont work after i use the close button to unload the movie..

I'm receiving this as an output error, when trying to use a "close button" I created for a lightbox that tweens in after the user clicks all_1thumb:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at testportfolio_fla::All_mc_2/closePop().
The lightbox populates with the correct image but the close button doesn't. Here is the entire script:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//Portfolio SubnavArt_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goViewAll);
function goViewAll(event:MouseEvent){
(this.parent as MovieClip).gotoAndStop("Art")}

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. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

Using AS3. I have in my code a button to stop and remove the swf, but I would like to have in addition to unload a child swf when it plays it's last frame automatically - not using a button.
Here is my code on the main timeline:

var closer:close;
norton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NortonDemo);
function NortonDemo(e:MouseEvent):void {

Now, what do I need to add or change to this code and add to the code on the last frame of NortonDemo to accomplish what I want to do?

[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 have the following code
var loader:Loader = new Loader();loader.load(new URLRequest("gallery.swf"));loader.x = 20;loader.y = 75;
gallery_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,addGallery);
function addGallery(event:MouseEvent):void
{ addChild(loader);}
Fine up to here. I need to remove the loader when another button is clicked because the loader remains on stage.
I tried the code below (just used on 1 button for now but I have 5)

I have bought a flash template in which I want to incorporate into another movie but I need to remove the preloader and button control. So in other words as soon as I preview it, it should play automatically without first seeing a preloader or having to click on a button to play the movie.

I'm having a bit of trouble undestanding the difference between close and unload. Do I have this right? loader.close() stops the current load in progress by disconnecting the data stream between the URLRequest to the LoaderInfo object - so calling the load() method again in the future reopens this connection and continues downloading the file where it left off
loader.unload() stops the current load in progress if called before complete, removes the LoaderInfo object from the Loader - so calling the load() method in the future creates a new LoaderInfo object and starts a whole new download - if other objects have references to the removed LoaderInfo object it won't be deleted

I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I've got a little problem: I made a preloader class that features a stopLoadProcess() method that simply calls Loader.close(). Well, it does work, but in Safari, after calling it, I have an error: Safari complains that 'there was an error loading 'that asset''' (something similar). In other words, Loader.close() in fact works in all browsers, in Safari too, but Safari also throws that error when calling the method.

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Does Loader.close() stops loading at once, or it continues loading certain number of chunks before stopping? Is it viable to run concurrent loading process in the background and then stop it abruptly (or even pause if possible) if user needs something else loaded immediately? And what about loading of other types of external content?

I'm working on my portfolio, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm loading a custom made video player SWF into my main SWF, and it works well so far, but the NETSTREAM doesn't close when I remove the child after I return to the main menu, and the audio keeps going.

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.
