ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Load An External Swf File
May 31, 2009
I know how to load an external swf file with the following AS3[code]...
However, I want to load an external swf that is triggered by a mouse click. I have a button with an instance name if photogallery_btn and I want to apply AS3 to this so when this button is clicked, an external swf is loaded. Can some one please show me how to right this code?
Also, how do you unload a external swf? For example, say I get the code working for the photogallery_btn so when it's clicked, an external swf file is loaded. I would like to know how to unload another external swf file once the photogallery_btn is clicked.
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
When i try to load an external swf file using Loader.Load(); The swf starts playing even before the init event is fired. Is there any way to stop the swf from playing atleast until the init event or complete event is fired?

All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
i have a question. let say i have file1.swf , file2.swf, and file3.swf, how can i link this 3 files together,let say suppose file1.swf is the main content file, but as i load file2.swf, i want the file1.swf get replaced by file2.swf.

i have a button that when it is pressed plays and loads an external flv file. this part works fine but directly after the flv video is finnished i want to load in an swf file. does some one have an idea how to do this? first show flv and then load swf? this is the code as it looks now..
i'm building a website using flash. i have a external swf file that i want to import into my website. i thought this would be an easy task but for some reason when i load the movie, it flickers. my website (parent swf) was build using 1.0. The external form swf was build using 3.0. My approach:
1.create an empty movie clip called mcForm
2.go to the mc clip page i want to pull the external movie into
3. within my actions layer, I call the following function loadMovie("main.swf", mcForm);
If i write:
LoadMovieNum("main.swf",0);
then the my main.swf opens correctly but closes the parent swf file. I wan the main.swf file to be embeded within the parent file.
I'm trying to load an external swf file into another with a loading that shows exactly the progression of the download. I tried to look at the loadClip and MovieClipLoader commands but I'm a newbie in AS, I don't really understand.
I've tried loading a .swf file externally into another .swf file on my local drive, and it works. Now, when I try to Simulate Download, the preloader in the 2nd file doesn't get played and the images in there take a while to get displayed.
