I have a AS2 loader (buil in AS2 that is) that automatically loads external swf's.And I have a sfw build in AS3.Is it possible for my loader to still load this swf file?In order for the loader to work I have to add "_root.nextswf();" at the end of every swf file.However I know that in AS3 the alnguage is different. IF it is possible to load an AS3 swf into a AS2 loader then: is there any code to replace this one?
View 3 RepliesI got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
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?

View 2 RepliesJust using a simple loader to load in another swf. I have added a rectangle to my original swf, and converted it to a mc. This is going to be used as a holder. The code is
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
this.addChild(swfLoader);
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("newBaby.swf");
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);
swfLoader.load(bgURL);

Where "this" relates to the movie clip holder object it is currently in. My question is why the top left corner of the loaded swf is always placed in the center of the holder, and not at the top left corner of the holder? Is this a default action or something?

View 2 RepliesI am creating a website that has four different pages with two different pages that load pictures into a loader. Right now, everything is loading fine, but when I go to the frames (i.e. other pages of the website) where the loader doesn't exist, and then I go BACK to one of the previous pages, the loader doesn't display anything when I press the buttons. The dynamic text box doesn't load either. I am using two different arrays to load it. Also, I had to put the Actions on the second frame of the whole scene for some reason. Is there some rule about having buttons on one frame load things into a loader that is on another frame?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI use Loader to load two picture,such as 1.jpg and 2.jpg,like follows:
_p1=new Pic("1.jpg");_p2=new Pic("2.jpg");
Then I add the two picture into a Sprite,like follows:
Sprite _g=new Sprite();
_g.addChild(_p1);
_g.addChild(_p2);
Then I draw a circle as _g mask,such as _c
_g.mask=_c;
I want to realize following effect.First appear 2.jpg,and during the mask _c radius is from 0 to 300,the picture 1.jpg is appearing synchronously in mask _c.
Is there some way to check if what you are loading is already in memory and don't need to be loaded a second time?

I'm loading a swf with the AS3 Loader class. It's being done from a main.swf that has nothing but a preloader display. The content is all in the swf that I'm loading with the Loader class. It's working. But the swf's playhead seems to be already 40 or so frames down the timeline once it's displayed on the stage. So I want to tell the loaded swf to gotoAndPlay(1) after the preload is complete in the relevant handler. The handler fires, but I don't know how to access the swf in question.loader.content returns a DisplayObject and trying to talk to it with MovieClip properties throws errors. I've tried to cast it as a MovieClip based on various things I've seen via searches here and in the docs, but that's failing, too.How does one do this the "right" way?And for that matter, why has the timeline already started to play before the swf is visible on stage?

private function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
// what can I do to take _loader.content and make it accessible for a gotoAndPlay() or some

The question is: this is a cs5 bag or i miss something ?
I am trying to load an external swf into another swf using Loader but I am having difficulties to do so. The thing seems to be that some of the classes of the loaded clip are called the same as the parent clip's classes. Both swf's document classes are called "Launcher", for example, also they use StringUtil (tho both projects have their own "StringUtil" class).

I'm new to AS3-What I need to do is load each jpeg in an array into a new Loader, then find the image's dimensions before attempting to load the next one. A Loader makes its info available through the LoaderInfo class. Loader has a property, contentLoaderInfo, that itself is an instance of LoaderInfo. When information about the Loader's requested file become available, it broadcasts Event.INIT. The AS3 language reference gives the following example for handling an Event.INIT event broadcast by a flash.display.Loader's contentLoaderInfo property, which itself is an instance of flash.display.LoaderInfo:[code]The AS3 reference says that neither Loader nor LoaderInfo accept any parameters in their constructor.
