ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild Twice On An External Preloaded Swf?
Feb 28, 2010But is there a way to addChild twice on a preloaded swf?
Here's my code:
Code:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWFs, AddChild(Loader) Versus AddChild(Loader.content), Etc?
Jul 29, 2009I 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?
ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild To Stage From External .as?
Oct 1, 2010I've created a function that works on the main stage and I am trying to transfer it to an external class to make it an easily reusable function.When I run it however, everything works except for the fact that it doesn't put anything on the stage as it should. All the info it needs is there it's just not putting it there.Therefore I conclude that I am using the addChild(); incorrectlyhere is some of my code if needed:
ActionScript Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild From An External .as File?
Feb 15, 2009I was trying to add a TextField to the stage from an external class. I've made a small example of the part that isn't working for me.
The basic idea of the external class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
[code]....
When I run this I don't get any errors, but the text still doesn't show on the stage.
Professional :: Addchild() Not Loading External Swf When Run In Browser
Jul 4, 2010I've created a couple of flash animations, fairly simple, but the whole relies on loading external swf files and then unloaing them.
The base file works fine, loads the externals and unloads them (although I need to preven the user from hitting the unload button when there is nothing to unload) and will then load another just fine, IF I run it directly from my file system.
I want it to be on a web page, but when you click the button to load the external files, nothing happens. Safari tells me it cannot find the file, and I'm using the exact same directory to test.
So, works fine when testing with flash (CS4) and running directly from the directory in finder, but from a web page, it cannot find the file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External .swf But 'prevent Playback' Until Addchild?
May 4, 2010I load external .swf files by code
ldr[nr][1][j2] = new Loader();
ldr[nr][1][j2].load(urlReq);
and about 3 seconds (by extra Timer script) after they're completely loaded are added to stage with
obj[nr][1][j2].addChild(ldr[nr][1][j2])
It all works properly, no problems at all. But by the time the .swf files are added as children to stage they've already animated 3 seconds of their own timeline so appear to "not start from the beginning of the animation".Any way I can prevent that in a simple way? (without requiring access / editing / recreating the loaded .swf or its .fla files)
ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild - Load External Swf File Into Main Movie
Aug 5, 2009I load external swf file into main movie. and i give that child a name page0 there is a bit of code.

so after its loaded i want to insert some text into external swf using main movie. i managed to remove external swf, like this ActionScript Code: holder_mc0.removeChild(holder_mc0.getChildByName("pages0")); but i wonder how to insert text into that swf. i don't understand how hierarchy works, when you addChild, what name should i use for my external files. for example ActionScript Code: holder_mc0. ?????? .mainTemplate.tContent.text = "TEXT"
ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild From A Class - Get The Error "1180 : Call To A Possibly Undefined Method AddChild?

I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloaded Swf Has Delay?
Nov 21, 2008Hon the wallets page, when you click to view a wallet you get a slight delay and I'm guessing that this is because I've put the preloader in the swf being loaded, hence not being able to see the thing your loading until its been loaded.how I would put the preloader in the main movie and what kind of code I would use? At the moment the timeline being loaded basically tells the playhead to goto and play frame (whatever) when the movie is loaded.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Restarting Preloaded Swf Clips?
Oct 15, 2009I have a container swf that preloads 4 other swf's and the user can navigate between all 4.
The problem is that once loaded, the animations for all the swf's begin immediately. So the animation for the 4 swf could be finished before the user ever sees it.
I've tried reloading the swf as a new URLRequest, but that caused an issue: when I test using a simulated slower connection it causes a slight delay in the loading of the swf.
Is there a way to restart a preloaded swf?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Status Bar For Multiple Preloaded Levels
Apr 19, 2010ive been building a site for about a month now and slowly piecing it together- so far ive managed to get all my various different levels loading and unloading the way i want them to, but now id like a little status bar to load on screen as my multiple levels are loaded in the background.The way ive been accomplishing this without the load bar is like so:on first frame of main movie loadMovieNum("dl_web.swf", 3);load MovieNum("dl_ illustration.swf", 4);loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);(the first frame of each of those movies has a stop function on it)And i have buttons on the main movie that make each of those levels visible and play.NOW, ive just created a movie clip ive named "bar" which is a thin rectangle, and i would like to have that movie clip load lengthways as my multiple levels are loaded in the background. So, my question is how do i accomplish this? I've looked all over and it seems like all the good preload tutorials are loading into movieclips whereas i am loading into levels.Right now my site is technically working, but there will be pauses for people with slower internet connections and i need my bar graphic to pop up so they dont think they are dealing with a broken site....
View 14 RepliesFlex To Load Cached Preloaded Images?
Apr 5, 2011In my application, I make numerous calls to preload images to brower cache in the background using Loader instances and ignore the complete event. I don't store the results in the application, but rather want to store them in the browser cache. The images have long Expires header dates.
When I want to use a particular image(s), I again use a Loader instance and call the same url and listen for the complete event to load the file to an Image.
The problem is that when I re-request the url for the "cached" image, it is making an http request with response 200 status, which I presume means it is hitting the server. How do I make sure that a request for a cached image never hits the server from Flex? I am finding that any request to a url for a cached image (with a long expires header) is making another request to the server, or at least that is my interpretation of it in Firebug.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloaded XML Gallery Becomes Super Slow?
Nov 12, 2007I recently put together a gallery based on examples that Stringy posted here.A couple improvements have been made, there is now a forward/back button that is sensitive to which photo you're on...thumbnails appear only on rollover. Run locally, it works perfectly.But there's a problem. For this particular project, there NEED to be 30 photos loaded in to the gallery, and they're biggish, average = 130k/per. When i'm running it live, the first 15 photos work fine (using the next/button) ... but once you reach the final 20...it CRAWLS. Most browsers I've tested it on crash at 28.Now, I don't know if this is just a feature of having so many images (if so, is there any way I can make a buffer of the next 5 images preloaded, and then delete those that were cached after I've viewed them?)
