I have a master swf that uses Loader to load in an external swf. I need to load a back button on top of that stack as a separate Child - and I have code in that loaded Child that needs to Unload the Loader-Loaded swf, unload the Buttons, and move the main timeline to another frame.

I'm using Loader::load() successfully to load swfs into my main swf and then I add them as a child of a Sprite. When other events occur I want to remove the swfs as needed. I have looked at unload() and at removeChildAt() without success.
I only added the addChild() call to try to pin down the loaded instance so I could remove it. The loading works fine without the addChild();
I have also tried publishing to player v.10 and using myLoader.unloadAndStop(); but this has no effect either;
The following demo code shows my problem. I see one child added and one removed but intro.swf is still playing away.
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;

READY? Here it is:var TheLoader:Object = parentObj.TheExit as Object;This line gets me to the swf I loaded and I can now change the alpha, move it etc...BUT HOW HOW HOW... do I get one of its children and control get that same control?Example Code:TheLoader.TheChild.alpha = .3; // Does not work!5 days on this issue is WAY TOO LONG! Here is the 3rd post with the same issue but more detail. as3 externally loaded swf from network to control externally loaded swf from network

I am having some problem removing a null object and I realise that I have not been unloading my swf's properly. Could someone take a look at what I have been doing and tell me what I can do to make it better. I am putting my website in an exhibiton of my design work and if it lagged up due to all the clicking it would suck!

View 2 Repliesafter fighting for 3 days to get my code to work properly i found out that there is a bug in flash player nine & ten.It cant remove a loaded swf 100% if you use unload();Then again you can use unloadAndStop(); but this also is not working 100% meaning removing everything from the loaded or loading swf.unloadAndStop() is a much better solution than using unLoad(); in my case, but still if i click on a button while my swf is loading and that button has for function to unloadAndStop the swf it will not remove it completely and throw me an error Error #2036.my website still works but it could be working much better and opens the door to errors while people visit my website.im fixing these error and what not by methods that i think should not be there in the first place.

Before i lay down the problems, allow me to present the flow of my files.My flash app starts with index.swf. On load, index.swf automatically loads preloader.swf. The preloader.swf then loads main.swf by a button-click.
View 2 RepliesPart of my UNI degree is covering AS3 and I'm having to build a game using Flash.
I have hit a problem trying to load a new SWF after unloading the current one that is auto loaded at runtime using the loader. I have a button in the 1st SWF that unloads the current one successfully but I'd now also like to get that same button to load up an alternative one.
My host file has the following code:
import flash.display.Loader;
var startGame:Loader = new Loader ();
addChild ( startGame );
startGame.load ( new URLRequest ("interface.swf"));
My loaded SWF ("interface.swf") has the following code to unload it when required using the button:
function closeInterface(e:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent.parent.parent).startGame.unloadAn dStop();
}
how to load up the next SWF at the same time
The thumbs load on a grid and when I click on the thumb they load in the loader. Now I am having trouble removing them. The tutorial has the remove function on the loaded large image so when you click that it removes itself. I would like so that when you click on the a thumb the current image will unload and the thumb that is clicked on will load but can't figure out how to get it to do that. I figured I'd just add a CLICK listener for the "removeFull" function to the "callFull" function but I think it cancels itself out.
Here is the code I am using: (the code to load and unload is toward the bottom)
Code:
var columns:Number = 2;
var my_x:Number = 25;
var my_y:Number = 75;
var my_thumb_width:Number = 65;

I found some code to create an XML based Flash gallery (I have lots of XML experience, not so much flash!) and modified it some to make the images show up exactly where I want them to on the stage. The problem I can't figure out is how to make the current image unload and the thumb that is clicked on load. Right now, the images just stack up on top of one another. I've searched all over to find a solution, but so far nothing I tried has worked. I haven't even gotten around to adding tweens to the gallery yet!

I have a parent swf with three buttons: next button, back button, ticker on/off button.I have three child swfs, each with a ticker mc. When I click on ticker button on parent swfit dispatches a custom event which brings ticker MC on stage and thus ticker becomes visible (ticker off button displaces it out of stage by changing the value of ticker_mc.y).
the problem I am facing is when ticker is on and I click next or back button to load next or previous child swf, the ticker goes off. How can I make sure that ticker is on all the time and closes only when I close it. How can a loaded child swf 1 communicate to next child swf, child swf 2, which is currently not loaded, that since the ticker is on on swf 1 so you please keep the ticker on on swf 2 as well?!
I think I know the problem. I have put a default value of ticker_mc = 160 (makes ticker inactive) on every child swf. So, the ticker becomes inactive everytime I load a new child swf. If someone could guide how can I do this, my problem will be solved: When first child swf is loaded, the default value of ticker_mc.y should be 160. I want to hold this value in a variable. When I click ticker active btn, position of ticker_mc changes to 194 so the value of variable should change to 194. When I click next btn, the variable value (160 or 194) should be sent to next child swf and ticker_mc.y should be equal to variable value.
This is the code so far
"Next button"
go_mc.next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext);
function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (swf_no < (clips.length-1)) {

I have added two consecutive streaming audio tracks (mp3) to a child SWF. The child SWF loads onto a parent SWF using a loader. After loading the child SWF the movieclip and audio plays without a problem. In the last frame of the child SWF a dispatchEvent is used to signal the end at which time the loader is unloaded and the playhead reset in the parent SWF.
I have a problem with stopping the audio. After the loader is unloaded and the playhead reset in the parent SWF the first audio track plays again (but not the one after it). I have been trying to use the SoundMixer.stopAll(); command to stop the audio. I have not been sucessful in preventing the audio from playing. The command only works AFTER the audio begins playing and I manually move the playhead to a frame containing the SoundMixer.stopAll(); command.
I have been reading some older threads with similar problems and haven't found a solution that works for me. I have placed the SoundMixer.stopAll(); command in every possible loaction in the main timelines of the parent and child SWF without success. Why is the sound file playing after I unload the child SWF? Is there a way to prevent it from playing again?

View 7 RepliesI am using the following code to load a SWF file into a Flash animation. The SWF file is nothing more than a short flv video (10 seconds). Users have the option of clicking a "HOME" mc if they want to return to the main menu before the flv video is completely finished playing.
[Code]....
When I click the HOME mc the lipStop.swf disappears as I intend and the animation returns to frame 1, but somehow I can still hear the SWF file playing in the background. I tried the samething using a FLV playback component and the same thing happens: timeline returns to frame 1, the image diappears, but I can still hear the audio track in the background.
The first part is that I am downloading a SWF from a server that has a bunch of exported images in it. I am doing a lookup of the class names for these images then using that to load the data into the application. Later on down the line it is possible to download a separate SWF that has images in the same format with overlapping names.The issue here is that when loading the second SWF with duplicate names it doesn't overwrite the data as one might expect, it uses whatever was loaded first. So I need to know if it's possible to either make it overwrite the classes with the new data or throw them away before loading the new SWF so the old ones don't get in the way. Is this possible at all
View 4 Replieshow to unload the swfs in as3 once you click a button to load a new one.
My file works great, with the exception of the videos playing over each other. slight bummer.
I have five buttons that each pull an external swf that is controlled by an xml file. If there were not sound it would not be an issue, but the sound overlaps if you click to the next link before the first video finishes playing.
I uploaded all the files here, including two test flv files. the files were too big to upload to the kirupa forum.

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.
