I have main preloader that loading external swf into it. external swf call method load picture from url. when event complete picture does not appear. but if external swf is the main swf it will appear nomally. I tried to use init but it still not working When I debug loader.contentLoaderInfo.content that call from external is gone.
View 1 RepliesI have an application where I try to load an external SWF. So, we have:
My application: The Stage's dimensions are 768x1280. ScaleMode = EXACT_FIT.
External SWF: It's another application where its stage is: 800x600. ScaleMode = EXACT_FIT.
The problem is that the external SWF does not modify its size although I apply "scaleX, scaleY", change its width and so on. I also tried to insert it into a Canvas container (as "How to resize an external SWF to fit into a container?" ) but it didn't solve my problem.
The interesting piece of code is when the external SWF is loaded by my application:
private function onLoadedApp( evt:Event ):void{
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
trace("Loading Application..");
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo;
loaderInfo.removeEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onLoadedApp);
[Code] .....
I also tried to do it through SWFLoader, but the external.swf's content doesn't change its original size although I add the "scaleContent" parameter.
Visual results I got:
The external SWF is loaded on the suitable position and it "seems" to have 320x240 dim. But its width is a bit cropped, since if I stretch the Flash Player I achieve to see the rest of the external swf's stage. Besides, the external SWF never is resized although I shrink/stretch the Flash Player. It always remains fixed (if I trace its dimensions, I always get 800x600, although I visually see 320x240)- If I increase the stage's width of the main application, this little clip disappear.
I know the original Stage's dimensions are 800, and this is greater than the original stage of my application (768), but I think, when I do the resizing, external SWF's Stage have to be fitted in the container. It is fitted, but a part of the external SWF is not seen. It's like Flash Player remembered that the external SWF Stage's width were greater than my application's one...

I'm about to start a project where there will be a Flash application where the visitor customizes a profile with externally loaded images and texts. Then the visitor needs to be able to download that profile as a dynamically created swf with all that external content baked into the swf.

I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database.

This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?

How can i get the dimensions of the loaded content of a Loader object?[code]...
View 8 RepliesI have an index.swf that it's dimensions are 1020x610, now when I load content in a container in the index.swf it will be centered using an onResize stage listener, that works fine but only if the loaded content is 1020x610, I've also used an onEnterFrame that checks if the width and height are !=0 so that way it waits for it to load before centering the content.
What should I do to always keep my content centered. Lets say I want to load a swf that is smaller (ie the 1st frame only contains 1 element that is smaller than the stage dimensions) I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well....
I am trying to merge loaded SWF content into one centralized data placeholder. The SWFs will be loaded through a Loader class. From what I know, as soon as the Loader class dispatches Event.COMPLETE, I can have access to the SWF content. What I am trying to merge here are the classes in the SWFs.
Why I need this is because, I am building a game where the character will have equipments for different body parts. Let say the head, body, bottom. I will load Head.swf, Body.Swf, Bottom.swf. After fully loaded, I will access the assets through standardized classNames (e.g. HeadPart1, HeadPart2 using getDefinitionByName(className)).
I can do this if I am getting the content from each individual Loader object - loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefi nition(className) but I am guessing if I have many other body parts, I will need more Loader objects.
So I am wondering if there is a way where I can grab all the loaded content from a loaded Loader into a data placeholder? I foresee there might be naming conflicts if I try to merge a Head2.swf inside the data placeholder after Head.swf as they both have parts with same class names. Will there be a way to overwrite an existing asset with same class name?
I'm loading swf file from a server. For some reason i can't access movieclips that are not instantiated on the first frame, more than this - all movieclips that are not instantiated on the first frame and have some animation inside of them, won't stop looping, like there is no stop() action inside, but it is there. And even more than this - everything works fine when i'm using other server. Both servers have crossdomain.xml file that looks the sameI don't get no crossdomain errors and no other warnings.
View 2 Replies[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:

I have UILoader that loads images 427x240, then I thought to load an external swf dimensions 427x273. So I resized UILoader to height 273, now the images on load are positioned vertical middle, gap top and bottom, i need this to be absolute Top. How do I set UILoader loaded content to position Top?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project that uses a loader to load up a swf, then display the loader in an area using a mask and a scrollbar to scroll through the content. The content in this project will change regularly, including the dimensions of the swf file (vertical dimension only, I'm not worried about horizontal scrollbars with this question).The problem I'm running into is I can't figure out a proper formula to get the scrollbar to position the content at it's bottom when the scrollbar is at the bottom What I have now is close, but not exact. If you scoll to the bottom, the bottom of the content would scroll up too high, leaving an empty 'blank' space where the content should be. I have an if statement checking for this currently, but this creates a 'dead zone' at the bottom of the scroll bar where the content is already at the bottom, and the scroll bar can continue to scroll down a bit.oes anyone know what I'm doing wrong here in the math to get a good scrolling going, regardless of the size of the content loaded by the loader?Here is what I have so far:

After trying to no avail to get the totalframes of a dynamically loaded .swf in AS3 I've regressed to AS2.
Now I can add the clip and get the totalframes of the content, no problem.
THe problem is I cannot resize the content at all.I have no idea how to target the loaded content.
Here's the code I'm using:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var path:String;
[Code]....
I need to resize the content both for the main holder_mc as well as for the menu elements.
I've got an application which loads anexternal swf, then needs to add content to a specific depth in it. It does this by finding a named placeholder clip and replacing it with a UIComponent, using addChildAt(); This seems to work fine - I have a trace utility that walks back up the display list and it shows my UIComponent right where I expect it, then the parent movie clip, then all the containers up to the stage. At each level the container is a) visible b) 1.0 alpha and c) the size I expect it to be, and from my trace I can see that I have a structure which looks something like this:[code]
All well and good, but if I draw a rectangle on the graphics of the UIComponent (or add an image to it, or do anything else), nothing is visible. I can trace any parameters of the UIComponent, I can use it to make changes to its parent SWF, I can even note that if I draw a rectangle on the UIComponent which is larger than the Loaded SWF, then the SWF changes size to accommodate the new bounds - but I can't see a thing.I was wondering if some security stopped the parent application adding content to the Loaded SWF, or if there was some other issue.
Plain and simple, I have a button that does not work if it exists on a layer below a loaded SWF. If I drag the button layer up above the layer where the eternal SWF is loading into and publish, the button works fine, yet if the button is below the layer that the clip is loading into it does not work at all, even when no content appears over the button. There is no button at all in the loaded clip that would interfere...
View 5 RepliesI've spent hours looking for a solution to why my preloader is not working. No luck. I've found alot of information, and have checked everything I can think of, but I am missing something.
Problem: Preloader is not displayed until 90% of content is loaded.[code]...
Most of the content is created dynamically, so I've had to embed one font type, but I've deselected the Export on Frame 1 option for this font. I still think this might be the issue though.
I have multiple SWFs published with Flash CS5, all of them seemed to work fine and I could load them at runtime from another SWF and access the the loader.content as a MovieCLip and therefore access the children of those SWFs.
But now I've created a new SWF and the loader.content type is .MainTimeline__Preloader__ instead of MovieClip on this particular swf! So I get the reference error 1069 property not found when I load and try to access children in this SWF.
I have the following sample code and I'm not quite sure where I'm missing the mark[code]...
Am I just calling the wrong attribute? The over all goal is to find out the size of the SWF that just got loaded and to match it to the size of another MovieClip elsewhere in the code.
I would like to add preloader with progress bar to my AS3 page. It's an image gallery. The preloader is on frame 1 and the content is on frame 2. It seems like that the loader works after all the content is loaded. And the progress bar doesn't appear on the screen. What am I doing wrong? For the quick view, the code is below. I also attach the code. To make it simple, I am testing the code with just one image.

View 3 RepliesI set up empty movie clip containers to hold my external .swf files when i load them in. I have 9 different external files that all load correctly. My issue is that when people view my website and cache the files after dynamically loading them, my changes that i make and upload dont take effect because their computers just pull the cached files from the last time they viewed it. This is critical for my site to work because of the amount of text updating and news that i do on it.

View 5 RepliesI'm doing a small site in which I'm probably gonna use a simple layout and load the actual content as swf's into a box... So far, the listeners for the MovieClipLoader class works fine, but the loaded content (which has the same exact size as the box it is loaded into) is being scaled in a strange way. When I trace the width and height after the clip is loaded I get the numbers I want (mostly) but it still LOOKS stretched. I've checked that the container clip isn't scaled, I've set the xscale and yscale to 100, I've manually tried to set the width and height (with the onLoadInit listener AND the onLoadComplete listener) but the numbers does not work as they should... It does resize, but not to the exact values I give it.
