ActionScript 3.0 :: Unloading A Loaded External SWF With A Close Button On The External SWF To Unload?
Aug 15, 2011
[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 spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

Basically I have a swf portfolio site. I have to load anexternal swf that's the same size as the main swf site, which meansthat the close button (for the external swf) needs to be on theexternal swf. I have the load and unload code on the main swf, butI'm getting a 1120 error - it's not recognizing the instance of theexternal button....and I don't see how it would recognize it,unless there was some other way of linking the filesbtw - I'm fairly new to AS3 & AS2, but they're at leastmore fun than the Pascal & TSR-80 basic I remember fromelementary & middle school...:0)

I have a gallery with tween effect which allows the photos to change size.
However, after loaded photos work but i can't unload it!
If i change the 1 to _mc, it's able to unload but then tween won't work.
Feels like i am missing something basic and it's driving me mad.[code]...

I know their are multiple threads on this but none have worked for me. I have a button inside a movie clip that loads a external swf. I would like the same button to unload the swf also. like a toggle switch. but i dont want to hide it, I want to actually unload it.Here is the script I have. I am getting no errors but it only opens the swf, it doesnt close it.
HTML Code:
var whatevername_loader:Loader = new Loader();
ldoor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoSomething);

i have designed a flash projector using as3 in which I have successfully loaded an external swf onto frame 2 of my first scene called "start". i want to include a Restart button in a later scene called "intro", which will unload the external swf as well as restart the entire presentation from frame 1 of my "start" scene. my problem is that I can't figure out how to tell my Restart btn, located in the "intro" scene, to look in the "start" scene to unload the external swf - i need to eliminate the "1120: Access of undefined property..." error when working in multiple scenes.

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

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;

I have an external swf that is loaded at frame 2 of the main timeline. The external swf has code that plays an flv, i've pasted the code below for the button that navigates the play head to the fram label 'frame2'. I want to know, how can i unload the external swf after each button click? Does the code for unloading have to go to in the button code or the main timeline?
anim_mc.stop();
anim_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);anim_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);anim_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
anim_mc.buttonMode = true;anim_mc.mouseChildren = false;

I am an uber n00b to flash AS3. And it is not my intention to sound like a complete moron, but honestly, I have had a hard enough time figuring out just how to load an external .swf into my main file! add a button within the external .swf which will unload itself and load a new on in its place.

i have a homepage - home.swf, with a button - btn_menu, that loads menu.swf.
btn_menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menu);
function menu (e:MouseEvent):void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("menu.swf");
[Code].....
the above part gives an expanded menu and it works fine. now i have a minimize button on the menu - btn_mini, that effectively removes the menu.swf
btn_mini.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,unloads wf);
function unloadswf(event:MouseEvent)
{

I have a main swf (call it Main1). Main1 calls an external swf (call it swf1). Swf1 loads on top of Main1 like it should. Swf1 has a button that calls another swf on top of Main1(call this Swf2). Well the problem is, the button on Swf1 calls Swf2 on top of itself, instead of removing Swf1 first. I cannot figure this out for s*** how to make this work. How can I unloading Swf1 from the loader, and at the same time load Swf2 into the loader from a single button residing on Swf1? My code is below.
Main1 has a button (click_btn) that loads Swf1 (click_btn is in a Movie Clip, not on main timeline)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
click_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, loadMC)
function loadMC(ev:MouseEvent){
[Code].....
How can I incorporate something like the close button (closer) into done_click to close Swf1 when I call Swf2 from this button (done_click)

My main project loads an external .swf ("room") depending on which button the user clicks. Once that external .swf ("room") is loaded, the viewer chooses a ("demo") .swf to view. I need the "demo" .swf to unload once it is finished playing so that the viewer sees the 1st external .swfs menu again. All .swfs are loaded into an empty loader component. The "demo" swfs were created in captivate thus I don't have access to a timeline for them.[code]That all works fine, but when I load "room" .swfs into the main .swf, the unloadCaptivate(); no longer works.

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.

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 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 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 am using Kirupa's Transitions Between External SWFs tutorial to design my site. One of the external swfs i am using has a pic scroller with thumbnails, but when a thumbnail is clicked, nothing happens. When I load the pic scroller movie by itself, it works fine.
check out these links to see what i am talking about... (only the first two thumbnails of pic scroller have actions)
movie with transitions
pic scroller alone
The actionscript that is actually on the thumbnail button is:
on (release) {
loadMovie("detective.swf", "_root.content");
}
i am guessing there is something wrong with that _root part? Also, you have to click on 4 movie clips before you actually get to the button, so that might be causing some problems.

I'm having a problem unloading an external SWF from my container clip. I've searched all morning for a fix to this problem, with no clear resolution. I thought this was originally a xml update issue, but it's not. A lot of talk about removing child nodes, but I'm not sure what do do there.Here's my code:
PHP Code:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild; swiff = []; total = xmlNode.childNodes.length; for (i=0;
