ActionScript 3.0 :: When Loader.load Is Initiated The Rest Of The Code Does Nothing
Nov 23, 2011
I made a simple animation for a preloader and when the animation is finished a boolean is set to true.At the same time an external swf is being loaded and also sets a boolean to true.If both booleans are true the externally loaded swf is displayed.
The loading works, the booleans work, everything works just fine except the animation when loader.load(content) is initiated. When I comment this line the animation works and offcourse nothing is loaded. When this line uncommented the animation won't work (visibly) but the swf gets loaded and displayed...

I've gone through the two loader tuts on this site ([URL]) and they are great. But they both use the 'getBytesTotal' function. Is it possible to tell the loader to only load a portion of the swf, like 50% of total bytes - or upto scene 5? I've got a 5 min long interactive 'demo' and I don't want the viewer to have to sit and watch the loader while it loads all 5 min of content.

I created the following code by following a tutorial, and therefore do not fully understand some of the concepts involved, just that it works. The project is complete except for one external link. The problem I am encountering is when I create the link none of my buttons work, and their hover animations all begin playing repeatedly without me even hovering over them.

I have a function that loads a room and when I load the room I have progress bar that displays with the percentage downloaded. The percentage text seems to be resetting with each load of an image but not the progress bar. How do I reset my progress bar?
Code:
// add room image to the viewport
function addRoom(event:MouseEvent):void {
//trace(rmPictures[event.currentTarget]);
var rmloader:Loader = new Loader();

I got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

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 have figured out how to use loader to bring external .swf files into my project, but I have lots of buttons bringing lots of different swf files in and I want to have a home button that will kill them all no matter what order they have been loaded in. Here is my code so far.... returns errors (but it still works) and will cause trouble as I get more .swf's loading. I would really like to keep track of the last loader loaded and be able to move forward and backward through the order and also kill them all at once?
sub
var Gstar1:Boolean = false;
var Gload1:Boolean = false;
var gs_ProLoader:ProLoader;
var gl_ProLoader:ProLoader;

When i try to load an external swf file using Loader.Load(); The swf starts playing even before the init event is fired. Is there any way to stop the swf from playing atleast until the init event or complete event is fired?

I am currently working on a flash ad for a local bank. One of the frames of the animation requires that the disclaimer text be displayed. I am attempting to create a tab within the ad that if clicked will allow a small window to slide up (roughly half the height of the medium rectangle), display the disclaimer and then close. This would occur while the main animation is still progressint. The problem is I'm not sure how to go about it.
I've seen this technique in an Insurance ad on one of the major ad networks but have not been able to determine how to do it.
I am using Flash CS4. I am marginally proficient in AS3.

Can an action be initiated through pressing a key combination? Here's a snippet instructing a MovieClip to move right when SHIFT+Z are pressed...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, testFn);
function testFn(event:KeyboardEvent){
if(event.keyCode == 16 && 90){
dot.x += 5;
}
}
Only the first key is recognized, i.e. the dot moves when SHIFT only or SHIFT+Z together are pressed; the swf's ignoring the second key.

A Custom Class can be initiated from an FLA or from another Custom Class. Is there a way to find at run-time, where is the current class initiated from?We can't use parent class before it has been added with addChild(thisClass), neither we can use root class to identify its originator. I believe, there should be a way to find it.

I'm really not great with the math. I'm pretty close with the formula but my movement is still wonky and doesn't stop where it should. (Top and bottom of the stage, rather than scrolling into infinity). For example, I need it to work like the menu at this link: [URL].
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, Move);
function Move(event:Event){
var distance:Number = mouseY - (stage.stageHeight)/2;
var percentage:Number = distance / stage.stageHeight;
var targetY:Number = -(content.height * percentage) + content.y;
TweenMax.to(content, 5 , { y: Math.round(targetY), ease:Expo.easeOut } );
}
Test of my code is here: [URL]. My fla is also posted as an attachment.

i dont know if its me but have things got alot more complicated? i have made 4 .swf's that all work fine individually. i have 4 scenes that each .swf is to load into and play in turn when the main movie loads in.before the loadmovie code was:
stop();
unloadMovieNum(2);
loadMovieNum("fcbp01.swf", 2);
now however i have been advised to use:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("achange.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
this does not work and i get the error code: 1151: A conflict exists with definition loader in namespace internal.var loader:Loader = new Loader();.

Just using a simple loader to load in another swf. I have added a rectangle to my original swf, and converted it to a mc. This is going to be used as a holder. The code is
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
this.addChild(swfLoader);
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("newBaby.swf");
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);
swfLoader.load(bgURL);
[Code]...
Where "this" relates to the movie clip holder object it is currently in. My question is why the top left corner of the loaded swf is always placed in the center of the holder, and not at the top left corner of the holder? Is this a default action or something?

I have a AS2 loader (buil in AS2 that is) that automatically loads external swf's.And I have a sfw build in AS3.Is it possible for my loader to still load this swf file?In order for the loader to work I have to add "_root.nextswf();" at the end of every swf file.However I know that in AS3 the alnguage is different. IF it is possible to load an AS3 swf into a AS2 loader then: is there any code to replace this one?

I'm a french student (first year) in a graphic school and I make a project in Flash.I simply need to make few 'infinite' (never ending) Swf's suceed. In the timeline (which is used as a frame controller) I call the Swf's successively. Here is the code and the screenshot of the timeline:
Code:
var imageLoaded:Boolean = false;
// Create a new Loader to load the swf files
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader();

BUT, because there is a but, I can't make them interlink. I tried to make a new layer and place some code into it, but it stops the previous one. It seems that there is a piece of code to write to enable this option.
