ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A Movie Into A Flash Swf File?
Apr 11, 2011
I am currently creating a mockup website for a school project and i had the actionscript for the pages all worked out which functioned by changing the visible on/off properties as the buttons were pressed (the home page and it's animations would be able to be seen behind the information page so doing the pages on layers is the only way i can think of doing it)The problem with the way i have coded the webpage however is that even when the pages are invisible they're infront of the home page meaning that aspects which i wanted to add such as a hover over animation don't work as the hover over isn't registered (the nav bar is a seperate layer and above all the others) What my question was, was
a) would it (in your opinion) be better to make it so that the movie clips of the pages were loaded from the library when the buttons were pressed or to make the layers re arrange themselved when the buttons were pressed thus showing the page that i want to show. and b) how would i be able to achieve this? i work on Adobe flash cs4 with actionscript three and am favouring the first option (loading the page from the library)
My boss made a quiz for the Flash movie I'm doing, using the Articulate Quizmaker software, and he saved it as a swf file. It plays great in Flash Player and through Flash. Now, I'm trying to use my main Flash file to call the quiz swf file and play it at the end of my movie. The main Flash file is set up as a swf array, calling the different swf files I want it to play in order. I want that quiz swf file to play at the end.
However, when I do that and I publish the file, I just get a blank screen when it tries to load the quiz swf file and a bunch of code in Flash that pops up. What's going on? How can I load the quiz swf file into my Flash movie?
I have a main SWF file, in AS3, wich works as holder/loader for many other SWF files (sections). I had to make a new section ("verano.swf"), but I did it in AS2. When I try to load it, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild() at Tabu/onCompleteHandler()
I am trying to import a SWF file into a custom loader and then treat the loaded SWF file as a MovieClip object. The code for the functionality can be seen below.
public function loadMyMovie(movie:String) { var now:Date = new Date(); var rnd:String = "?randomize=" + now.time;
[Code].....
When I do this I get the following error.
"Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."
loadMovie(_root.section, _root.content);how would i work in a preloader bar?? add one to the file that is loaded into the main movie or on my main movie that is loading the file?
I'm trying to get an external text file to load into my movie. I read the tutorial about the scrollbar w/ external text file but it's not really clear and it seems somewhat out dated... I'm anxiously awaiting ASDG2 coming out on December 19th. What would the code look like to load a text file called "theText.txt" into a text field called "theField_mc" created with AS itself attached to a mc called "theMC_mc" created with createEmptyMovieClip(); ? I'm trying to do this %100 AS, no instance manually put on the stage.
I've set up a test file and I'm having problems loading a video file from within a loaded movie.I have 3 files - "base.swf". This loads a swf - "LoadVideo.swf" into level 10
Code: loadMovieNum("Files/videoFiles/LoadVideo.swf",10); This, ("LoadVideo.swf"), has a button with the code
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I have a SWF that has a movie player in it. What I want to do is load an flv or audio file into the player from anywhere on my computer using a file browser. Currently it does work, but ONLY if the flv is located in the course folder where the SWF compiles to. How I can make it play an flv located anywhere other than in the same directory as the SWF?
I have created a preloader, and I want to tell the action script of the preloader once the file is done loading, put it away and load a new movie, or even a new flash file if i have to.here is the action script i have on the loader right now. Its just numbers counting from 1-100% and a .gif clip that plays but they are not connected in any way.
In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.
I know this goes against the logic of most menus. I am building a menu. I have very nice mc called "menu_list" and loading into the movie loads a easily editable external XML file with all my over categorys and sub menus
it looks like this...client.niallohara.net/xml_menu.html
I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);
how to pass variables from one Movie clip's AS file to my Main AS file. Let say my Movieclip's AS file is calling damage = 1; so how the Main AS file retrieve the damage value from the Movieclip's AS?
Code: public class robotMC extends MovieClip { public function robotMC() {

I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and . I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.
I'm having trouble with loading a swf file in my flash. I am buidling a flash website where I have a lot different sections. Main file: index.swf where i have main buttons and an UILoader. now i want to load my homepage in the UILoader so I set the UILoader source to homepage/index.swf The homepage loads no errors but as soon as I add some actionscript anything (declare one variable) i get this error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/index_fla::__setProp_loaderr_Scene1_loader_1( ) at index_fla::MainTimeline$iinit()TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/index_fla::frame1()

I'm trying to set up a .flv file that will have buttons for two different pieces of sound.I've been able to get the first piece to load and to play and stop, but when I try to load the second piece, I trip up.I'm still a novice, but do think I understand the basic problem -- Actionscript can't distinguish between one sound request and another. The question is, how to fix this and get actionscript to understand that I'm trying to load and play two different sounds associated with two different buttons?I get error codes such as "1151: A conflict exists with definition s in namespace internal." , "duplicate function" problems and "duplicate variable" warnings. I've seen some discussion on this site of a recyclable sound object. I think I'm asking a similar question, but although the person who posed that question also posted a solution, I haven't been able to make it work.Here's the code:
var s:Sound = new Sound(); s.load(new URLRequest("http://www.website.com/Water.mp3")); wellsplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSound);
The code below on works when my xml and swf file are located in the same directory as the html file. However, when i move both file to a sub directory, nothing shows. I have tried using the absolute path but not much luck.
I need to loading a PNG file from a server into my flash project. What I want to do it be able to call a PHP page and send it a variable which I can do. Then I want to access a db and get a path for the image, I can do this too. What I'm not sure about is what to do then. What I need to happen is the PHP to return the PNG to flash somehow. Can I just add the PNG to the php page and use a loader somehow? I've been searching around google but most tutorials seem to be getting PNGs out.
