ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A Movie Into A Container Movie?
Jul 5, 2010
I'm loading movies into a container loader BUT when I load in one of my games it runs real slow. Is it because I should have removed other movies first ie: They seem to be all in there and stacked on top of each other.
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event;
MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.startLoad);function startLoad(e:MouseEvent){ var mLoader:Loader = new Loader()
i am working on a project where i require to load an external swf movie in a container at frame3 when i click on a button at frame1..and at he same time the movie should fit exactly into that container..and at the end of the movie it should bring back me to the frame1 where all my buttons are there..another thing is my first frame of the external movies which i have to load is blank so i want to load a movie directly from frame2i have tried several things but everythng is not working at he same time..

Another thing is my first frame of the external movies which I have to load is blank so I want to load a movie directly from frame2 or a specific frame.
I have some buttons that load an external flash file into the container movie clip with this code:
[code]...
So it plays the tweening out animation of the file that's already loaded, then loads the new file, playing the tweening in animation. However, currently the container movie clip is empty when the flash movie is played. I want to be able to have some content already loaded in it, but when I use the container .loadMovie("start.swf") code, it just keeps loading start.swf into it when any of the other buttons are clicked. Is there a way I can have content load when the flash movie is started, but when any of the buttons are clicked, for it to tween out, and basically, never reappear?
I have attached two pictures. Basically I am making a website. The main navigation loads in external swf's through a container movie. For this I have used this tutorial : [URL]. What I want to do is- when you rollover the navigation bar, be it the text or the coloured block- I want it to scroll down and reveal the 'sub navigation'. (pic2) It's like a drop down menu but kind of the other way around. Then, when you either rolloff of the navigation bar or click on a menu button, it slides back up to its original state. (Pic1). I have played around and only managed a sloppy version which doesn't work very well, especially when you resize. I think a simple answer to this is if I could get my buttons to work inside a movie clip. I had tried this but then the swfs wouldn't load properly.
I want to load a completely scripted movie into a container clip but when I test it none of the script is executed. When I load a movie that is just a tween it works. What should I do to make the script work??? i have a feeling it has something to do with _root it the loaded movie.
when loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?
I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
My _root movie is nothing more than a interface with navigation buttons. When someone clicks a button another swf is loaded into an empty movie clip on _root.
My Problem:I understand loaders and use them all the time, however, I still to this day have never gotten a loader to work with loading an external movie into a currently playing movie. (ie: in my _root movie you press the "Searching" button and searching.swf is loaded into _root.contents --> contents is the empty movie clip)So anyways... where does the loader go? The only results I've ever had is as SOON as the loadMovie method is called the movie hangs until the entire movie clip is loaded. Then the loader runs... thus making it totally useless.
I have a button ( 3 buttons ) and each button is assigned to Load a movie. When you click one of the buttons, the LoadMovie on Level 1 is good. Now here is my problem, how will I unload the current movie before Loading the next one. I want to UNLOAD the CURRENT MOVIE first before loading another MOVIE.
I have a movie, within this movie I have a container which loads an external swf, the problem I have is that when this movie is viewed within a browser, if the browser is resized then the external swf that loads into the contanier resizes, going smaller or larger.How do I constrain a particular container to stay the same size, 100%?This is the script I have that loads the external swf, is there a way to constrain container?
I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.
I have and SWF file I created from a PDF through Print2Flash. I am trying to bring it into another SWF file which is my navigation shell.
I am trying a simple test to load it and it work fine all the way up to when its time to resize. This is AS3 and this is the code I am working on:
[Code]...
This seems to work as long as I dont try to resize the container. repositioning the containg alone the X and Y works....but when I add the resize of the container to 800 x 800, I get nocompiler errors but the SWF doesnt seem to load either. Can someone let me know why this would be the case? I have found other threads concerning this but still the SWF I am bringing in just will not show when I add the width and height resize.
My scenario is that i have host swf that is of as3 and need to load an as2 movie into it.Now I need to control the as2 movie for keeping the host as3 swf and the as2 swf in sync. To do that I am using a local connection. But the problem i'm facing is that, when as2 loaded via as3 movie, I don't see as2 events being fired. For example, I kept a trace in onEnterFrame in as2 movie. Stand-alone I could see the traces. But when loaded from as3 movie, I could not see any of them.
I have 3 movie clips Loader as3 movie AS2 wrapper movie (Generic for all AS2 movies that will have local connection code.this will get msgs from as3 and internally does what ever we wanted) the actual as2 movie to be loaded into as3
So the question is - can I use loadMovie(); to load movie clip in a container from library not external swf? If I can, how should I do it, but if not - how can I still load it then?
I have a Movieclip with a base name called 'movie_main' and class name as 'Main_mc'I am trying to load the movie from the library into a contanier that also loads in a tooltip.The container is called 'holder'this is the script I am working withvar movie_main:Main_mc = Main_mc();holder.addChild(movie_main);problem is when it loads in other parts of my menu are missed placed.Question:is this the correct script I should use?? Is there issues with loading in more than 1 movieclip into one contanier?
I cant figure out how to unload a movie clip. I thought i knew how, but its not working and i've tried everything i can think of.I'm loading an external swf like this:[code]This works fine. It loads an external swf that plays a youtube video. However, whenever i click on my navigation buttons to go to another page (basically another movieclip in teh _root level, it does not unload the youtube player and it keeps playing. Further more, if i go back to that page, the youtube player loads again and starts repeating itself.I thought by adding the following code to all my navigational buttons, the youtube player would unload, but it doesn't:[code]
I'm creating a site with buttons (movie buttons) targeting a container clip on the root which targets transitions in external swfs. I'm having trouble with my code in targeting the container.
I know how to do It with a normal button but not with a button inside of a movie clip...
I can use movie buttons for this because they just look better.
I'm using the following code to load a .jpg into a movie clip container the problem is I need the container to be a specific size I tried loader.content.width = 50; and loader.content.height = 50; the height part works but the width doesn't work my image just expands beyond the stage width.How do i set the size of the movie clip container?I don't care if the image gets distorted i have a resize script for the images before they are loaded into flash.[code]
i'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame. as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.
I have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.
How do you load an external .swf into a movie clip and have the loaded .swf fill the shape of the "container" movie Clip?Is this possible(It would be resizing the external .swf)...
