ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader For External SWF Loaded Via Loader Class
Oct 15, 2010I'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.
IDE :: Loader Class Working In Flash, But Not In Browser?
Sep 21, 2009I'm running into a problem loading an external swf. Check it out here: [URL]
If it's working right, the top and bottom red areas should end up looking exactly the same.
I have "init.swf" loading "cc_home.swf" into a container. When successful, it should fade up (that animation is in "init.swf") and then load the white text (cc_home.swf). What you're seeing on that page is init.swf on top, and cc_home.swf down below.
When I test init.swf directly from Flash, it works fine. In the browser, though, it doesn't load the movie.
Here's the code I'm using in "init.swf" to load cc_home.swf (which I got from Kirupa):
var mycontainer:MovieClip;
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
var urlrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("cc_home.swf")
myloader.load(urlrequest);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Resize Not Working In Distributed SWF?
Jul 5, 2009I have recently created a game in Flash CS3 with AS3 which displays a random picture (this is a pretty integral part of the game).I have written a small procedure to resize the picture to an appropriate size for the flash application. This is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
function onComplete(ev:Event):void {
var maxheight = 240;
var maxwidth = 400;
[code]....
Here is where it is called, please just take for granted that d_arr[1] contains the correct URL of the image I want to load :-)
ActionScript Code:
var url = d_arr[1];
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
[code]...
This resizes the picture when it is fully loaded. This seems to work fine on my own site, but on the sites to which mochi ads has distributed it, it doesn't resize the image at all, even if it is left to fully load.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Stops Working On Server?
Oct 23, 2009In my current flash application I and my co-workers are using Loader to load some SWFs from our server. It works perfectly while we have the flash application on our computers running it trough Adobe Flash CS3 but when we publish it and move the html page to our server and try and run it from there the loading doesn't seem to start. I have the firebug plugin for Firefox so I checked if flash actually loaded the images and according to firebugs network monitor it found all needed resources and downloaded them successfully. But the behaviour of our application is as if the loading starts but the complete event is never sent.

The "page loaded" trace is being displayed, so must load the swf but not show it.
I can't even see the preloader. I also tried a very simple swf file with just some shapes and 1 frame but still no luck.
