get the data loaded and all seemed fine. But now the data is loaded (as i've traced it, it's definitely there) I can't seem to use it.
I'm building a a carousal which will display different projects i've made.
Here is my XML file
ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site>
[Code].....
Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.
have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.
View 6 Repliesthe best way to do it but i have a preloader the loads an external swf that loads 2 external swf files. one on layer o and the other 1.it seems to load the swf on layer 1 twice.url...if i run the swf that loads the 2 external swf files by it's self and the same problem happens.mouse over the navagation button and then mouse over the close button and follow the animation down to were it turns back into the navagation button. sometimes the close stays up.if i run the swf file that just contains the navagation it dosen't happen.

It works perfectly fine in Firefox, but in IE 7 I get the black screen of death.
The html and swf files we're created with Flash 8.0
I have a swf file loading over the top of a background graphic. The swf only covers part of the background... the part that I want to animate. My intention was that the background graphic would load quickly (it does) and that's what the visitor would see until the swf file completely loads and shows itself seamlessly over the top of the graphic. It would be seamless to the visitor because the swf image is identical to and matches to the background. So from the visitor's perspective, they would see a static image until the swf loads and then see part of that seemingly same image begin to animate.
However, what happens is that the background image loads and then a big black box (where the swf is loading) appears over the background until the swf file is completely loaded.I have tried setting my swf background to transparent, but that does not work.Does anyone know a way to prevent the black box (of the loading swf) from showing over my background image while the swf file loads?
I have a preloader that loads an external swf. That external swf calls an xml file that takes a few seconds to process and load the images within the xml.
My issue is that the preloader is "lying" to me when it reaches 100% because once it loads the external swf there is still a few second delay before the images within the external swf display.
Logically that makes scene to me because the external swf bytes don't include the bytes of the images that it calls for.
SO,...
How do I get the preloader to count to 100% only when the entire external swf and all of its contents are loaded in?
i am looking to make something like this for my page.[URL].. i can do all the vid work etc.. the thing im stumped on is how can they resize the working area it uses eg.. where the presenter comes up.. because to start with the swf looks like its only tiny little play start stop thing then it loads the clip outside of those boundaries?
View 1 RepliesI have a site that I am working on and I want to add a gallery behind a password. So far I have the password working and the gallery loads but the gallery loads on top of the swf where you input the password. I want that "password" swf to be removed when the new gallery is loaded. I tried to find some code for this but I can't get it to work so I commented it out. I have pasted the code in that swf below.
I am pasting the link. The gallery in question is behind the "Wholesale button" So click on "Wholesale" and then the password is "TEST"

Code:
verify_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, verifyPass);

I have built a full flash site were i have loaded the .swf into a dreamweaver page named index.html.
I then upload the index.html and the associated .swf file to my homepage.
Start up the webpage and all looks good.
I then update the .swf and upload the new one but the change does no show. I can see the change on my laptop, from another PC or if i type /index.html after the address.
I even deleted my index.html and the .swf and could still see the webpage on the same MacBook as it is created on (only).
I have been searching the web for hours trying to find the right code for AS3. So I'm hoping you can help me to get the right piece of code.So I have a background element which I press button and it loads an swf on top of the original swf. The one which loads is a child and I have an 'X' button which I want to close and I have no idea what the code is.Once the 'X' button is on say a mouse down it closes the swf and you can still see the original which is below it.

but anyways heres my code.

im working on a banner which have all data included from external text file and styled with css.the code of the banner you can see here:http:[url]....the issue it that my main timeline have 2 frames and the file loops. In this case all works fine , but the on every loop the actionscript loads all the Loaders and data again and again and this cause increasing memory usage (about 1 MB per 2/3 loops) .To fix this I've put a stop(); in the first frame , which fixed the memory leak issue, but now the CSS doesn't load at all - I don't know why. Also I've released that the CSS not loads if the clip have only one frame.
Code:
//Load text from external file
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;[code].....
I've made myself a little flv player, using the progressive download method.
However, it only starts playing once the whole flv has been downloaded. Now the adobe docs quote:
While using an ActionScript 3 file, the video begins playing only when enough of it has downloaded so that it can play the FLV file from start to finish. This behavior can be altered using ActionScript.
However, I can not find this code anywhere. bufferTime does not work (as it is downloading, not streaming).
I'm not sure what's going on...basically, I have a flash file that loads images from a xml file and this works fine without any problems. But when I try to load the swf file into html, the images only load if the html file is in the same folder as the swf.I'm not sure if this is related to a problem with the xml link in the swf file or something else... this is how the xml is being called from the swf:
Code:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;

I am designing a website for my brother [URL]and have place a movie he created on the first page of the site. It is a Flash movie, and I do not have the original document. I would like to set it up so it loads completely, then starts playing on it's own once it has completely loaded. (Right now it loads a bit, then plays, then loads a bit more, then plays a bit more, etc).

I've used ExternalInterface.call for an onclick flash event to load some xml with XMLHttpRequest. the xml loads. but if i change the xml file on the server, the old xml file loads for the client, not the new one. i believe the problem is that the browsers are caching the results. i heard that this could usually be fixed by returning false from ur JavaScript onclick handler. but i dont have a JavaScript onclick handler, i have a flash onclick handler.

I have the following script which works jim-dandy when implimented as a frame script in my .swf, but I don't want it there, I want it in a class I've created called FigureItem. I've stripped the script down to just the part that loads the XML. When the script is inside the .swf (without the class constructor, obviously) 'trace(contentXML)' correctly returns the formatted XML. Inside the .as file, 'trace(contentXML)' returns 'undefined'. SOMETHING is loading becase 'trace("yay")' returns 'yay'. (loadXML gets called by the FiguireItem movie clip inside the .swf).
