ActionScript 3.0 :: Code In External Swf Only Partially Executing When Loaded Into A Host Swf?
Jul 29, 2009
One of the swf files in my project is acting strangely.The file compiles perfectly, and is functional when running stand-alone.If I try to load it into the main swf in my project, the code stops executing just prior to the first for..
loop.To find out where the code was stopping, I placed a textfield on the stage named "stageText", and assigned different strings to it at various points in the flow of actionscript.It stops executing immediately after stageText.text = "init2";, and just before the first for..loop. (see comments in code)Why is the code stopping at the for loop?Why does it only happen when the file is loaded into another swf?
Code:
import gs.*;
import gs.easing.*;
var locationsXML:XML;

I want to display a partially loaded image (as it loads), similarly to how images load on HTML pages.

I have a flash site (portfolio), and it uses buttons to load/remove different .swf file (it is an XML gallery that I did not write.) It works perfectly - the FIRST time I load/unload a .swf . . . however, every .swf file loaded after the first one comes in partially transparent (it normally fades in), but otherwise the .swf is fully functional. Each .swf has it's own unique name/images, but is otherwise identical to the original gallery. It doesn't matter which one I open first - the first one is always correct, the rest, not. Also, the degree of transparency varies randomly, but generally seems to hover somewhere around 1/2 way.
[code]...
I know that something in the XML gallery is causing this (switch to a completely different .swf and the transparency issues go away), but I also think that I am likely not unloading the .swf correctly and that some part of it is remaining in the memory and creating issues when it is used more than once.

I am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')]
public function Globe()
{
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.

I have a flash file which loads data from JSON and parses it. It works fine expect on one machine (specs below). On that machine it loads an image URL specified in the JSON, but nothing else. I've tested with a other machines (Dell E6400, Apple MacBook Pro) and it works just fine in all browsers. I compared Windows Updates between the Dell E6400 and the Dell Optiplex 745 and they only differ by one update (KB2525694) which isn't applicable for my Dell E6400.

if I load data into a swf file using URLLoader (such as an XML file of a CSV file from another website), everything works fine until I actually upload it to the internet using my cheap, wimpy, webhosting service. At which point none of the data is transferred. Is there possibly anything about security sandboxes that completely eludes me, or is this even an issue that deals with security sandboxes?

How can I test if my AS3 code is executing from root or from a child mc that has been imported into a larger project via the loader class? Details:I've got a tutorial that is published both as a standalone projector (exe) and as an swf imported at runtime into a larger project. If the tutorial is running by itself as a standalone projector it needs to execute a few fscommands and perform some other housekeeping chores. If the tutorial is running as a child of the larger project these chores must be skipped. I canā't test Capabilities.playerType because the parent can also run as a standalone projector. It's simple, but here's what I had before I realized the parent might also be standalone:

This problem is probably very simple to solve but it is not clear to me. It may simply be that I am doing something incorrectly. I have studied OOP and AS3 for quite a few hours so I am familiar with the concepts but not the flow. This is a project that I put together in order to reinforce what I have been studying.The goal here is to load an instance of a pre-created movieclip to the stage from the library then execute a positioning function in the FLA's timeframe ActionScript and execute a function from within the AS files's class ActionScript to both a resize the movieclip and output a trace.I have two files:smileface.flasmileface.as

I have several skin parts defined in a custom component and I want to execute some code after all parts have been added.Currently, my only idea is to use if statement in overrided partAdded method to test if all parts have been added. Something like this:
override protected function partAdded(partName:String, instance:Object):void
{
super.partAdded(partName, instance);[code]....

I have a data group that displays profile picture of people on facebook.Im also pulling their status but I do that inside the item renderer [code]Now what happens is that the statuses are mixed up.Only few people are really shown their true status and the others get other people status.Im guessing thats because Flash builder executes the code before i get a call back from Facebook server, and thats why statuses arent synchronized.Is there a solution for this problem? like stopping the item renderer from processing before he get all data?Iunderstand i can pull the data in the Main program, but im asking if theres a way to do that inside the item renderer for future uses 10x for your answer, but im still experiencing the same problem when using class. because theres is no way of knowing when ill get the call back from the Facebook server. The problem with facebook api for flash is that you get the info in a diffrent function from the one your send the call.[code0so what happens is that i need to return the info from the function profilepic, but i have no idea if it already got the data.

I've created an movieclip button that onRelease: moves to the highest depth and expands to the entire page and onRelease again: contracts to a thumbnail and moves to a lower depth.'ve got the animation working. However, I'd like the movieclip to finish playing the contracting to a thumbnail animation to the end before moving to a lower depth. Here's a concatenated version of the code://Variable that I set to know when the button was clicked first to expand.

I have an swf loaded into _level0. On button release I want gotoAndPlay a certain frame label in an swf loaded into an MC named Host on _level0 to. I have the following:
on (release) {
_level0.host.gotoAndPlay("Main", "MainStart");
unloadMovieNum (2);
}
The unload part looks fine, and I am back to my orginal page. But the page did not jump to 'MainStart'. What am I forgetting?

Is there a way to load a file and waiting for the event listener with out continuing executing other code.
I tried using a while loop with a flag that is set by the on Complete in order to exit the wait loop.
This generates a timeout error. private var loaded:Boolean = false;
function SpriteLoader(filepath:String){
trace("Attempting to Load File:" + filepath);
FileLoader = new Loader();
var FileRequest = new URLRequest(filepath);

I have a mainmc on the stage. I have another extarnal mc called buttons_mc. When i use loadMovie and load that external mc, the loaded mc's AS2 doesnt seem to run when playing within the mainmc.
Is it possible that a loaded mc looses all its variable values when it comes into a main clip ? Or is my problem lying in the fact that the root paths of all the clips inside button_mc have to be changed to suit the main clip's hierarchy ?

how i should be executing external functions from a .swf loader...here's my loader function:
Code:
on (keyPress "e") {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);[code].......
i can easily load the swf into the frame, but the colors don't change. Playing coloreffects.swf on its own works fine, just not through the loader. I imagine this is because you can't just operate two levels of AS2 at once...

I have an application swf that loads a big external swf with all GUI components/assets (skin) in it.I want to display a progress bar during loading of the external asset swf file but the images for the progress bar are also included in the external swf file.Is it possible to load only a portion of the external swf before loading the rest. The idea is to load the progress bar images from the external swf, then construct the progress bar and than load the rest of the swf. I was thinking to put it on different frames. Frame 1 containing the progress bar graphics and frame 2 the rest of the assets.

[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:

I have a large ON2 VP6 encoded FLV video (334 MB, 75 minutes) hosted on the web and being played back using a basic Flash movie player:
[URL]
Many people are having problems getting the entire video to load. The loading progress bar will increase quite quickly at first, but then it will either slow down to a crawl or will stop completely. If the progress bar stops increasing before the video has fully loaded, it will not continue no matter how long you wait. Reloading the page does help.
Is this likely to be a problem with the FLV file, the Flash player or is it more likely to be a problem with our web host?

On the interactive section of my page here: [URL]. I have a bunch of externally loaded swf files that are supposed to load into the black square in the middle. As you can see, some of the swfs partially load, just the text for most, and then some don't. If you click another section then click back, it loads fine and you can see what it's supposed to look like. This doesn't make much sense to me, considering the swf files are done on a single frame, with the text just a layer below the image. So why does a portion of the swf load but the other doesn't and why do some and not others? I have the swfs loading using loadMovie. (Example below):
Code:
container.loadMovie("movieclipname.swf");
container2.loadMovie("movieclipname2.swf");
container3.loadMovie("movieclipname3.swf");
container4.loadMovie("movieclipname4.swf");
This works perfectly with every other site I've done, and I've used that same setup many times on this site. Yet for whatever reason. It doesn't work regularly.

I'm having trouble with my site [URL] As you may see, the animation is often all mixed up: the buttons do not take the user to the proper frame, the frames and buttons do not display or just partially... Sometimes everything goes back to normal when I empty the cache and/or refresh the page and click repeatedly on random buttons, but not always, and not for long. I don't know, it just happens somehow randomly, especially when I upload the swf file again to update the site. I understand it has something to do with the flash file itself and having to insert some code somewhere,

My sIFR 3 font replacement is working great in FF and IE except when I use it on a 'services' page that has an unrelated Flash object feature at the bottom. Only the first sIFR3'ed element shows up in IE on this page. I am also using jQuery 1.2.6 on this page to bring up random content. It is a windows xp pc.
In IE, the html on the 'services'page sIFR'ed elements has become garbled in the browser as I see when I view the source. Things like this: nodeIndex='1' and jQuery1307565945701='4' are added to the ul and li elements and should not be. The class 'sIFR-replaced' is not being added from sIFR like it is supposed to be.
The jQuery does not interfere with sIFR3 font replacement on my other pages because they don't have the extra Flash file on the bottom. The Flash file is a shockwave cab file, version 9,0,0,0 (that I did not add).I see this error in the console ' 'match(...).1' is null or not an object' but I got this same error elsewhere and it wasn't affecting anything.
