ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Load A SWF Into A Blank MovieClip Called "holder"?
Jun 3, 2009
I'm trying to dynamically load a SWF into a blank movieClip called "holder" and control it by instance name on MOUSE_DOWN. I'm sure this is easier than I'm making it but the SWF just has a bunch of frames and i want to use one script to scrub through the frames but i can't figure out how ot get the instance name (or whatever) of the movieClip.
// Load movieClip into "holder" movieClip
var loader = new Loader();
holder.addChild(loader);
loader.load(new URLRequest(btn_SWFname));
[code]....

I am loading jpgs into an MC. I make sure I wait to run and modification to the MC by confirming the image is loaded first.If I comment out the IF statements within the function "RW_pic_modifications()" and I trace the width and height of the MC AFTER each photo is loaded, I successfully trace the correct W and H.
My issue, however is when I DO RUN IT THROUGH the conditions within the "RW_pic_modifications()" function. Then any modifications to the MC W and H seem to compound and apply it to each iteration of the next MCs.I confirmed that my code and logic is correct. I just dont understand why performing a resize to the MC with one jpg loaded into it is not reset to the NEW JPG loaded into it, after the new JPG is loaded.
NOTE - I have an MC that stops on a frame until all the code here is executed. Once complete, then this MC plays to allow the pic to stay on screen for a given amount of time THEN it calls on the RW_Pauser() function.I am way over deadline.
Code:
How_long_to_pause = 4000;
Maximum_Image_Width = 137;[code].....

I'm trying to migrate from AS2 over to AS3, and I'm getting hung up on the two things below -
1) I need to load ONE image from an external xml file into ONE blank movie clip on my stage. I've already gotten the xml loaded into flash...I just need to assign the the node information to the blank movieclip.
2) I need to assign a hyperlink to the image that is loaded into the blank movieclip.

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

Trying to load a simple swf movie into my mc holder.When I preview the page on my desktop the external files loads. On the FTP server it doesn't. Why? I tried 2 scripts for an "onClipeEvent" on the empty mc holder but nothing workes. [code]Then I got recommended to use this script on an empty keyframe. It works but again, only offline.targetMc.loadMovie("floorplans/301.swf");

I have a main swf that loads external swfs into a holderMC. How do I get a button called playnext_btn on each external swf to tell the main swf to load a new external swf into its holderMC? I used this code in the main swf to do the initial load of the first external swf into holderMC:
Code:
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
holderMC.addChild(swfLoader);
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("benefits.swf");

I am using an array to load images into a holder_mc on my flash site. Is there a way to change the registration point at which the image loads? Currently the image loads and is justified to the top left corner of the holder. I would like to change it to the top right corner.

note I have to change some file names and urls for company privacy.I am working on an online banner ad which tight size requirements. In order to stay under the file size, I want to load an external swf housed on our server into an empty movie clip on a button press. I have this working with the following code on a button:
on (release) {
loader_mc.loadMovie("location where swf file is housed");
}
I then want to unload this movie if a different button is pressed. However I am receiving the following error.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file: XXXXXXXX halted - not permitted from "location where swf file is housed"
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
How can I unload this external swf file from my move? Again the external swf file is housed on our sever and the main swf file will be housed with the place we are advertising.

I've used MovieClipLoader to load a movieclip into my holder. Everything works out fine, the mc loads and it's all good. But then, inside the loaded mc I use attachMovie to attach a movieclip from the library of the holder. It won't attach, but it will attach if I re-create the specific mc in the loaded mc's library. Does anyone know how to get around this?

I've created a holder on my site into which I'm loading individual .swf movies using a separate 'interface' at the side. Each swf is a slideshow of jpeg images, but for some reason they are becoming slightly stretched/distorted (maybe a single line of pixels is repeated) when they appear in the holder. The holder size is 1000x600, each swf has the same size, same dimensions for each jpeg too.
An example code for a button to load the swf into the holder is:
on (release) {
_parent.holder_mc.loadMovie("interface_7_movie.swf ");
}
Is there anything I need to add to prevent the weird distortion?

Is there any timer function in flash to load a movie clip after a certain time elapsed? Like we can adjust the time when it will load and when it will disappear.

I am not terribly advanced in Flash, but I have figured out dynamically loading text and images into flash, but what I am trying to set up is somewhat of a back end script for a client. It is a photography website and I am trying to have the images dynamically load into a movie clip. So he can change out the files on his end when needed. I have a script something like this for the button that loads the image.
on(press){
controller.loadMovie("image.jpeg");
}

I have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?

I'm working on a photo-sharing demo using AS2.0, I would like to dynamically load photos (stored as jpgs in the .fla's local directory) into MovieClips, and apply a class instance to them. Currently, for debugging, I've imported jpgs to the Stage, converted them to MovieClips, and then accessed their linkage properties, setting them to the class I need them to implement. But for the final application all of this will have to be done with code.
I know how to dynamically load the jpg into a MovieClip using loadImage(), and I know how to create a MovieClip that is an instance of a class by using attachMovie() with a library symbol and the class name. How do I combine the two? Is there a way to access the linkage properties of a MovieClip dynamically?

Based on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.

simple item render, or so I thought... I have an some data loaded into a list, one of the fields is project_Type. It's a string that either says "RESIDENTIAL" or "COMMERCIAL". And based on that string, I just want to display a little house, or a little office building as the icon. So, I cobbled together my itemrender as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:IconItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
