ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Externally Loaded SWF To Act As Movieclip From External Class?
Jan 21, 2009
I have a problem - when I load a swf and I want to be able to add event listeners to propertys on it I use the code
ActionScript Code:
var headerMovie = MovieClip(loader.content);
Which works fine but what I've have created now is a class to load external SWF's and add them saving me to repeat that code, which works fine for loading the swf but as for the part where I get it to convert to MovieClip (which is what I assume that bit of code does) I'm out of Idea's.here is the class so far - the error it gives is that it cannot acces the property mloader, I've even declared it outside of the function but to no avail.
ActionScript Code:
package {
public class PreLoaderSwf3 extends MovieClip {
var myTween:Tween;

I am running into a curious problem with Flash CS4 Professional.I am running Windows XP Professional SP3, and working locally off my hard drive using SVN for version control.The problem I am having is with loading an external SWF into my "master" SWF.I am using ActionScript 2 exporting to Flash 8 (due to project requirements). When I run the SWF that is being loaded externally (standalone), it shows my changes from when I modify my class files. However, once I load it into the master SWF, the changes are not visible. If I modify the FLA itself, the changes are shown, its just when I modify any class files, the changes do not show.This is very strange and I have no idea why I am having this issue.I have outputted the _url of the SWF and it is loading the correct file.I tested it on another machine, and I did not run into the same problem.I deleted everything out of the ASO folder and that did not fix anything. Since I am not the administrator on my machine, I have tried everything other than reinstalling Flash.

basically i want to be able to load different button.swf files, like button1.swf button2.swf etc and assign them a class so the class handles all the default behaviour of the button. This is for skinning purposes. I want to be able to load a button.swf file into my main movie ( the button.swf has no actionscript in it at all, just the graphics ) and then make it an instance of a existing class like for example button.as . the clips are not in the library so i can not specify the class in the linkage properties. It has to be loaded externally.

I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;

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.

Im designing a site with accessible controls, and the best way for me to do this is load each external swf into a container movieclip that then has all the controls applied to it.This container movie then also has another layer above with a movieclip on top of that acting as a filter layer to invert the colours. This is controlled by a keyboard press.Now when I run my project with this filter layer movieclip it prevents me from mouse clicking on any of the buttons in the externally loaded swf, without it they work fine.Is there any way that I can get through this movieclip so I can mouse click / rollover those buttons?

I'm doing a flash site and it is now in it's critical stage. I have a main movie where i have links to different different sections wich have been loaded usind loadMovie concept. Now i have one requiremnt to access to attach a movieclip from a externally loaded .swf . My problem also will be solved if i can access a purticular scene of a external swf or purticular frame( level) of the loaded .swf.
Note: I want to jump to a purticular frame of one externally loaded movie when i click on button in the _root movie.

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();

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. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
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?

I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?

trying to get xml loaded from the external document class. I've tried several tutorials on this as well (although I think they are mostly for doing it within the timeline). This is in the main document class that is also doing a bunch of other stuff, but all the other stuff works.

This situation is rather tricky because I'm having to control movieclips/properties in both the Parent and Child SWFs.
The path I took was not to have a slave document in the loaded SWF as it was looking for all the library movieclips I was referencing in the Parent. I didn't know how to resolve that easily, so I decided to to refer to the Loaded SWF movieclips using an instance of the class onComplete[code]...

I'm hoping to implement a preloader on a main.swf that measures the bytes etc loaded in an external.swf. My two concerns are that 1) this just isn't possible? 2) I can't have multiple preloaders on the main.swf, which I would if I used one for the external .swf. I intend to try and explain this in the best way I can what I have done so far, as I personally feel this is quite a complex task.
Here's the basics:
I have an external .swf file, being loaded, using the following Action Script (3), in what I shall call, main.swf:
//---loader---
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(swfLoader);
var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("nameofswftobeloaded.swf");
swfLoader.load(swfURL);
function loadHandler (event:Event){
var thumbsPanel:MovieClip = event.target.content;
addChild(thumbsPanel);
This works fine. The Action Script I use after this simply allows me to control the external .swf from the main .swf so isn't necessary.. I finish the loader, with this:
"swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);"
So, this all works fine. However, as the external .swf contains images, it doesn't load instantly. I therefore need some kind of preloader to show how much of the external .swf is loaded. However, I tried placing this in the external .swf itself and it failed miserably - for some reason it basically didn't preload and the completed phase of the preloader just appeared.

I have a Main.fla (with Main.as as document class) that calls the external SWF (which has its own document class too)
ActionScript Code:
function startLoad() {
mLoader = new Loader();
[Code]....
Another question. Is it possible to do some kind of listener? Example, I call this external swf, and if the user press a button inside this external swf, this button triggers the listener on the Main.as? Something like running an external mini game, and wait for the results/hiscore.

I have 4 empty movieclips called holderMC1/2/3/4 on 4 frames of the main timeline. Each movieclip loads in an external swf with this code:
var swfLoader4:Loader = new Loader();
holderMC4.addChild(swfLoader4);
var bgURL4:URLRequest = new URLRequest("F1_h.swf");
swfLoader4.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete4);
swfLoader4.load(bgURL4);
function loadProdComplete4(e:Event):void {
trace("file loaded4");
}
I have 4 buttons which on click goes to 4 frame labels on the main timeline corresponding with the 4 movieclips. Very simple - works fine - except the swfs don't unload properly, so the video in the external swfs keeps playing in the background when a new swf has been loaded.

I have one swf called main.swf which has a container movieclip that gets external swf's loaded into it.
my external swf is called hosting and it calls an array of data that is loaded into a movieclip that is duplicate for each element from the database. The elements from the database are as follows:
Business
Economy
Power
Standard
Each one of these has a button over it that when press loads information from the database into a movieclip that contains a textbox. My button code is: _root.movieclip.loadVariables("url to database");
This works flawlessly when I run the hosting.swf by itself, but when it is loaded into the contianer in the main.swf the buttons dont work. I believe that it is the _root in the button call that is causing this but I dont know how to fix it. I think the _root variable changes when hosting is loaded into the main.swf.

i'm having some "big" issues with what seems like a pretty easy flash concept. But, im pretty green when it comes to coding in flash.
I have a SWF thats being externally loaded into another SWF file (see code below):
on(release) {
loadMovie("test1.swf",_root.dropZone);
}
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.

I'm loading swf's via an XML file. I'm wanting them to be added onto the stage in the same order that they appear in the XML. The problem that I'm having is that they are added to the stage only when they are fully loaded.
This is my xml (_config.xml)
<campaign>
<component SWFsource="logo.swf"/>
<component SWFsource="gallery.swf"/>
