is it possible to get the total frames from a .swf being loaded via a flash.display.Loader class so i can calculate duration in seconds of the clip?
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of AS2 swfs that I am loading into an AS3 project. These AS2 swfs are powerpoint slides essentially. In my onComplete method, I trace(event.target.content.totalFrames) and I get this error:[code]How can I get the total frames of the SWF in AS3 on an AS2 movie?or alternatively find out when the swf is done playing?
View 4 RepliesI need to be able to load a couple of external.swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the tips I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the.swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);var mcListener:Object = new Object();
mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)[code].......
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored.how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but playing to the end.)
I have used the loader class and the load method to load a swf file that has several frames. how I determine the total number of frames in the SWF file timeline after loading?
View 3 RepliesMy project is converting as2 to as3 flash file.In AS2 ,I am using "loadmovie" to load the external swf also it gets totalframes of swf . It works correctly. But In as3 i am using "loader" to load the external swf. But the "loader" is not calculated the external swf total frames.Then how to calculate totalframe in as3.
View 2 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

im loading a child swf into my parent swf and I want to pass some parameters to the child swf.
Here is my code:

loader.load(req);

I have a problem with my New Loader class I use as3 and buttons to load external files into into my main swf file and I resize the external files to match my stage but they always load from the top left at x=0 y=0 The action script i use is
var swfHolder = new Loader();
mybutton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOW N, mousedownpresser);
function mousedownpresser(event:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(swfHolder)
swfHolder.load(new URLRequest("myvideo.swf"));
Is there any way I can load the external files into a different position?
I have a site loading a large number of thumbs and even a video at the top. Every once in a while the loader object gets stuck. I have an EVENT.COMPLETE on it and it doesn't appear to get called.
Any help? This appears to happen primarily on the first time loading. I am using Safari on Mac for the browser as well, if this makes a difference
how to build a timeline scrubber that can scrub more than one scene.
1. Scene 1 had 20 frames
2. Scene 2 had 20 frames
3. On scene 1 I put the slider that scrub the timeline. The totalFrames; sum all the frame from all the scene.
4. When i scrub the slider to frame 21 error occurred saying that the slider couldn't be found. So i paste the slider in scene 2.
So how to continue scrub on scene 2? How to make a slider that can scrub all scene and move along showing the current frames?

Using the mac version of flash CS3, and trying to import classes, namely the Loader class. Everywhere I've seen this code is used:
import flash.display.Loader;
or for all classes in display:
import flash.display.*;
Neither of which seems to work, and after searching out the file path for flash.display there is only one file in the display folder (BitmapData.as).So my question is, where do I find the loader class? And secondly, once I find it, do I copy and paste it into the display
folder or do I use a different file path?
I am in need of this code..I have n number of flash files(swf). Each file contains n number of frames. I need to get the totalframes of that flash files in Actionscript 3.0.
View 1 RepliesWhen using Loader class to load display objects (bitmaps, SWFs...) from remote URLs, is there any way for them to be instantiated (referenced as we know, by Loader::content property) as some user specified valid subclass? For example if I had a class that extended a Bitmap, is there any way for the loaded object to be of this class?
View 9 RepliesIf I load an external swf:
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("abc.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
abc.swf starts playing - how do I get it to tell the main movie that it reached the end of its timeline and finished playing? Added bonus: the loaded swf is AS1 and the main movie is AS3. I'm not sure if I could convert the loaded swf to AS3.
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'm having troubles accessing the data loaded by external class.[code]...
Now, I want to create another external class (called MainMenu) that will be initiated from the Main class.This class should create the menu based on the loaded XML class.
My question is, how can I make use of the loaded XML content via XMLLoader class within the MainMenu class?
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 need a way to get flash to tell me the number of frames in the random clip that has been loaded. this is what i'm trying to use now to give me a random #, within the # of frames loadedCode:var rNum = Math.round(Math.random(emptymc1,_totalframes))the clips im using have 90-100 frames, but the number im getting is either 1 or 0
View 1 RepliesUsing ActionScript can I do with my game, which is running in a browser, verify that the user already has the files needed to run the game installed on your computer? If he had these files do not need anything else that was born and can play the game immediately. If he did not have the files, they would be loaded so that the browser does not erase these files. So when he returned to play the same game day after,as the files already on your computer, nothing need be loaded.How do I remove one of the main memory image that was loaded using the Loader class? I tried using the unload () method but nothing happened.

At the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
The names of the dynamic text labels are:
"cFrame" and "tFrames"
I am loading a flv video in AS2:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

It works very good, In this line, I get de current time of the flv:
timer_txt.text = ((integer.length<2) ? "0"+integer : integer)+":"+((decimal.length<2) ? "0"+decimal : decimal)
And I need to display the total time too. By the way, I am not using the any flv component, I need to play the video in a custom player....
I have an AdvanceDataGrid. How can I show the total of each column at the bottom. I am able to calculate the total, and tried displaying them on labels below each column by giving width as column width. But they are not getting aligned properly below each column.[code]Is there a way by which I can assign total to the grid itself instead of using seperate labels below.
