ActionScript 3.0 :: Allow To Loading External Movieclips?
Mar 17, 2009
I'm making a game where I have a lot of movie clips that I need to load so I was wondering wheather ActionScript 3.0 allowed us to load external movieclips? Can we import an external display object (movieclip) into a display object container? Or do I have to load a .swf which contains the movieclip onto the stage? What happens if I need to pull in multiple .swf files can the movieclips overlap or will one .swf file block the user from viewing the .swf in a lower depth? Can I import the movieclip from the external .swf file from its library and add it to the main stage rather then adding the whole .swf to the main stage?

I'm looking to setup a SWF to effectively act as a library of MovieClips. I'm looking to be able to load up the library SWF in my main SWF, and access the MovieClip's the library SWF contains - play them, move them around etc.
Here's the model I've come up with - which seems to work:
(a) Library SWF:
- Contains MovieClips, with AS3 code held in external files.
- MovieClips setup with linkage as "Export in first frame" and "Export for ActionScript"
[Code]....
... and this all seems to work. Nothing is displayed from the library SWF until I want it to - all seems fine.
Isn't it a bit naff needing all my library MovieClips sitting on the stage on the first frame on the library timeline?

I have a website which needs to load 3 external images into 3 movieclips when the page loads. The page gets the URLs for the 3 images from an XML document, ie.
<imgurl>graphics/panda.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda2.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda3.jpg</imgurl>

These movieclips are loading in external swfs, underneath each loaded swf I have a black rectangle that covers the content underneath.When one of the external swf's is being viewed and the black rectangle is visible how can I remove my mouse events until the black box as disappeared? So when the user is viewing a loaded in swf I don't want the movieclips underneath to be moving about.You can see the file hereMy code

I have to modify an existing flash 8 movie (not created by me) which uses as2, and is composed of multiple movieclips. One such movieclip holds a textbox (static) which however needs to be updated frequently to show latest news, and because of this now I have to make this movieclip's textbox to read texts from an external file instead, a text file to be precise. How to proceed with this in Flash 8 AS2, whether I need to create a new layer for the as code or add it directly to the movieclip's layer, and also the as 2 code itself, as I tried the following but it is returning an error that cannot load the text file, I also change the textbox from static to dynamic and gave it an instance name Text1 (I once tried something like this in flash cs4 and it worked fine, but in flash 8 its not working.
Code:
var timeStamp:String = "&timeStamp=" + new Date().getTime();
var noCacheUrl:String = "?noCache=" + Math.random() + timeStamp;
var myLVars = new LoadVars();
myLVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success){
_root.mcNews.Text1.text = this.VarEn;
}}
myLVars.load("News_En.txt"+noCacheUrl);

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

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:

[FMX] I am having trouble loading an XML file on an external server into my flash movie when it is uploaded. The data loads in fine when the flash file is on my local computer with the xml file on a server. As soon as the flash file is uploaded the XML data will not load in.

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

I've read that when loading swf's it's a good idea to load them into a MovieClip. Is that true, why and would a Sprite do as well. Also how is it done?I thought this would do.
var currentPage:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var loadRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("home.swf"); var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.load(loadRequest); currentPage.addChild(swfLoader);

I'm building a Flash CS4 application (AS3) and I can't keep all my movie clips in the library because there will be hundreds of them, and new ones will be added all the time. Two parts to the question:How can I externally load in a movieclip to use during run time? After loading I still need to be able to manipulate it as if I created a new instance of it from the internal library.

I created a site using Kirupa's external .swf loading tutorial. Now in one of my externally loaded .swf's, I am loading another external .swf. I've gotten this to work fine, but the second external .swf (loaded into the first) contains buttons that will swap this second external .swf with another external .swf. I can't seem to get the AS references to the variables set up correctly in order to swap the swf's. The initial .swf loads fine, but the button control gets complicated inside it. It sounds rather confusing, so I've included a link to the .fla's and .swf's below.

The file structure:
-band.swf load's profiles_main.swf
-The buttons in profiles_main.swf are trying to load chris.swf (swapping it entirely with profiles_main.swf)

I'll do my best to keep this question as short as possible:
I've made 5 'fruit' movieclips and they're in my library.
And using so.addVariable("getNumber", "003"); in my HTML code, I'd like those particular fruit movieclips to play one after the other (and then loop).
I've had a look around for something similar, without luck, so I'm trying to make it from scratch. I got as far as getting it to load the first number and then the first type and url, but I'm stuck on getting to go onto the next type, also being able to define (with addVariable) which number's nodes gets played.
Here's an example of my XML to show the structure.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<list>
<number="001" >

Basically I have this movieclip on stage that is suppose to load another movieclip from an swf. in that swf are 31 copies of the movieclip since theres no duplicateMovieclip function in as3. I am able to load and add child to the movieclips easy with this,
PHP Code:
function duplicateMovieclips():void{
for (var i=0; i<movieclipsToLoad; i++){
movieclipsDuplicated++;
entrys_mc.addChild(mcV[i]);
Below (which I excluded) are other various bits of code to edit the movieclip and what not. I can also remove it just fine with this bit of code here
PHP Code:
function removeF():void{
var repeat:int = 0;
for (var i=0; i<timesToRemove;i++){
entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);
repeat++;
movieclipsToLoad--;
if(i == timesToRemove-1){
loadSelected(); //THE PROBLEM
}}}
What this swf is trying to do is record the year and the month the user clicks on and then return every day's data from the xml if a day is filled out. when removeF(); executes, i get the error:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
Pointing at entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);...but when its NOT there, loadSelected(); that is, it works just fine. I even put a trace statement in it. The whole if condition works fine to.
LoadSelected is the one that retrieves the text needed to load in the movieclip. whatever year and month the user selects, it loads the information of it and puts it in a string. then it displays in the dynamic text field inside the movieclip. Also, when SWF loaded it loads all 31 movieclips using this.
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < 31; i++){
var groupMC:MovieClip=MovieClip(clip.getChildByName("group" + i));
mcV.push(groupMC);
trace("repeat # = " + i);
}

Loading in Movieclips instead of images

I start off my game with an empty movieclip located in the middle of the stage. I then load a movieclip using the loadMovie method. At some point I would like to unload the movieclip and then reload another one, sort of a different scene if you will. The new movieclip has a number of other nested movieclips that I will use as buttons and I have coded a function that is called that creates these buttons. Here's what it would look like:[code]The roomSetUp function contains info on how the room should look and the button codes. The problem is that the setup function runs before the new movieclip is loaded. Seems that there is no way to have Flash 'Yield' until the movieclip is loaded and then go to the last function. Any suggestions other than MovieClipLoader?

I have several Movie Clips in the Library which I need to be able to load and bring up on the screen randomly.The code below shows how I can load one of these, but to get a proper control ideally I would like to load them all in to an array or numbered variables so that they can be called from a simple piece of code and actioned one at a time.
My movieclips can all be called something simple like mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4 etc to make things easier.These need to be referenced in to an array mcContainer[.....] or as mcContainer1, mcContainer2........ so that they can be called easily.I just need to know the simplest way to do this and how i reference them, I have tried several ways like ["mc"+i] etc and nothing seems to work.
Code:
var mc:mcLogo=new mcLogo();
addChild(mc);

I have several buttons that on mouse over will load a library movie clip. I want that movieclip to load on top of everything then once it's played allow me to either replay that movieclip by hovering over the button again or play a different movieclip by hovering over another button etc etc. with the ability to repeat this.
My code below currently loads my movieclip on top in hte corerct place however wont allow me to hover over another button and only plays once: var my_packages_mc:MovieClip = new packages_mc();var my_treatments_mc:MovieClip = new treatments_mc();

I'm loading an external SWF file, which become a MovieClip, using Loader(). That part is working fine. I then need to scale the MovieClip to match the stage, so that when I set the width and height of the movie doing the loading in SWFobject, the MovieClip will scale too.
For example, the SWF being loaded may be 320x240, but we decide later that we want it to be 640x480 on the page. We can just change the width and height in the javascript call to SWFobject, and it should scale everything. To top it off, I'll need an AS2 version too because we might need to load AS2 SWFs.
