ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External HTML And Style With CSS Class
Apr 26, 2010
I'm trying to write a class that will have 3 parameters in a function call to specify: the dynamic textfield, an external HTML file, and an external CSS file. My attempts haven't worked, but I'm not getting many compiler errors. Here's my class file:
Code:
// loadText
// Loads external HTML file and styles it with an external CSS file

I've recently made the switch from as2 to as3 and am still struggling to get my head around one aspect in particular. I've managed to load one external swf into a blank file via the script
import LoadDisplayObject; var loader:LoadDisplayObject = new LoadDisplayObject("button_01.swf", true); loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0,
[Code]....
.....however I'm struggling with the script to make a swfs load into a space when one of my 3 buttons is clicked....
My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed.
I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can't find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
Site loads two flash files at the same time with multiple dynamic text fields that load .html files with external css style sheets. The site works almost perfectly when viewed offline, but when you upload it the text boxes sometimes load and sometimes do not. I'm a graphic designer so I really don't know actionscript 3.0 (or any version) very well... so I'm attaching the footer .fla file which by itself suffers from the same problem, and the other files are too big to upload so here is the link to the other .fla file used on the homepage
(for this code, check the mcBandPreloader in de .fla file)
Code: var imageLoader:Loader; var RespJpeg:String = "images/arch1Proj.jpg" function loadImage(url:String):void {
[Code]....
Here the problem is that I can't type html in my external txt file. (I did checked the html button in Dynamic Text Properties. What am I doing wrong here?
Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.
i am having problem with loading external text or html content code works on main timeline it loads whole html contents with image but i move it in movieclip the only text just disappears.i tried to load it through external swf file but the text is still invisible
I'm having trouble and I was hoping someone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong. I have a main .swf file from which external .swf files are being loaded through the use of buttons.When I preview the animation, everything works just fine. The problem occurs when I put the animation on the website where it needs to be. The main animation appears like it's supposed to, but the buttons are not successful in loading the external .swf files. I've made sure that all .swf files are on the server but still nothing.
Here's the AS:
stop(); var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(presentationLoader);
I have an swf movie embedded into HTML (it's designed to work as a webpage) but for some reason my links to load external swf movies into a placeholder don't work when the main movie is embedded, but are fine in a flash player.
i am a webdesigner i do flash layouts and animation and trying to learn as2, I have a problem with one of my projex, 1=i hav to load an xternal swf video in flash 8 file, 2=at the end of playing video i have to automatically go to nxt html page. 3= i was able to do all the stuff using tutorials but in slow internet speed,my page switches to next page before completely playing the clip. well i can show u the code i used for loading video.
[Code]...
my videos duration was 75 frames,so i tried a trick,i made a mc of 90 frames and at the end of it gave the code.so at completion of 90 frms it switches to html i want that the video should play completely and switch to html.
So there must be a million variations of questions and answers to this but I have yet to see one that works! Trust its nor for lack of trying as I think I have tried them all, so I am hoping by reposting this question that some one has found the answer. I've wracked my brain for the past 3 weeks an dthe closes i can come up with is this coding someone did in Flash 8 but aslas tis not complete or something.
code start-->

// declare the LoadVars object that // loads in the external text myData = new LoadVars();

I have tested with the absolute URL, with and without extension (.html or .txt ) I have testes with just the filename, with and without extension again. The text box is Dynamic, with Multiline (with wrapping) and I did press the button that says allow html rendering.
I need to load contents of an external html document through AJAX. The problem is the external page has some Flash application embedded. Now I need to show this html with the embedded flash in my own webpage.
So I have a dynamic text field that is loading an external .txt file with html coding in it.I can get the text to load and display properly, however I now want to make a custom scrollbar and I have no clue how to even get it to work.I've tried a few things and just can't figure it out. I want to make a custom one instead of using the component one. It doesn't even have to be a traditional scrollbar, I would much rather just use an up and down arrows. In the past I've just used buttons and placed AS directly onto them.The code that is loading the text into the text box is: (I don't know if that will help at all but I'm posting it anyways)[code]
I'm loading a textField with addChild in a movieClip and want the external text file I am loading into this textField to render in the textField as HTML. I have attached the code I am using.
I found some code that let's you load variables from an external swf. I'm trying to adapt it so that I can use the symbols from external swf library in my main swf. I get an error telling me 'call to an undefined method...' and then the name of the symbol I am trying to import to the main swf (testMe123_MC). Here's the code of my external swf as:
I have encountered a problem loading an external swf in my application. The external swf file is using a class and when I load it in my other flash it didnt load I think the class have a problem!!. I use the flash.system.ApplicationDomain and LoaderContext. It didn't have no effect in the my flash program.
I'm trying to load an external swf that's controlled by an xml file as I have loaded other swfs, but I get an error saying that it can't locate the class of the swf that I'm trying to load, and now it wont display an error, but it still wont open.Here's the code that I'm using to load this file:
function Main2(fla:MovieClip,m:MovieClip) { var newSWFRequest=new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"); loader2.load(newSWFRequest);
[code]....
how to load this file in as3 and if you can please tell me how to add/remove & edit buttons in this swf.
so from using both my Actionscript 3 Bible and a friendly tutorial here on Kirupa... and another online, I attempted to create a class to load an .swf. I worked through the Kirupa tutorial, and it worked, but I wanted it to be in a class! This is where the problems come, when I run it, I get no errors, the bar flashes as if it's full, and it loads the content. When I try to simulate download however, the screen stays white and I receive an error
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed."
i am trying to load images on movie clips using class,but i did not get the visibility of images on those movieclips ,the class doesn't contain any errors the functions are also worked correctly. Here i am sending my class code :
package{ import flash.display.*; import flash.net.URLRequest; public class customerloading extends MovieClip{
My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.
I have been searching for information regarding the use of loading an external xml file from a variable (string) that contains the location of the item and passes it to the document class.
I receive the following error: Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/xmikxm0/My%20Documents/workingDocuments/freelance/brightStar/webSiteStructure/core.swf contains invalid data. at BuildSiteElements/::frame1()[BuildSiteElements::frame1:2]
FLA code:
ActionScript Code: /* variables to load XML */ var BuildItems_obj:BuildSiteElements = new BuildSiteElements(); BuildItems_obj.loadSiteXML("templateBuild.xml");
[Code]....
fla is in same folder as class and the fla compiles the swf in another location (outside the folder and pulls xml from the xml folder).
I have created a image gallery. it uses a document class and several supporting classes. It works great. I need to load that swf gallery.swf into a another movie. When I try to do this I get this error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at oxylus.rotator::Main()oxylus.rotator.Main is my document class for the gallery.swf that is being loaded into another flash movie.I don't get why it would cause errors as its a compiled swf and should not have references to that class.
I'm trying out a game from a tutorial for a project, and I'm trying to load the next game from within the first .swf by means of a button, in this case loadButton, when this MC displays on the main swf (this is the GameOver menu screen). The syntax seems fine and there are no errors displaying, but the .swf itself isn't loading.The startLoad function I'm having problems with is at the bottom. I've tried loading external .swfs before but that was without classes... this is my first try with classes so I'm not sure if I named the public functions wrongly or put the wrong codes in the wrong places, screwed up my public vars, etc.
i got a problem with my gallery. my script only loads the loadImageComplete function, when all Thumb-Images are loaded. I want the loadImageComplete-function for every Thumb/Image.
Code: function loadThumbs(src:Array,name:Array) { var xPos:Number = thumbXStart; var yPos:Number = thumbYStart;
I am able to use the Loader class to import an external swf into my project, its working great. But Im also trying to do a ImageSnapshot of the stage which works fine before the external swf is imported. After the swf is imported the ImageSnapshot no longer works. is there a event that the external swf is bringing with it that would disable it?
I'm unable to load forces.swf (assume I can't edit it, as I don't have the source code) through an external swf, due to Stage reference in the base class how would I go about loading it (and any other possible SWF) without errors being thrown?
Here is a link to the problem I am trying to fix:[URL]..
I am trying to load external classes into a document class and initialize the page by loading one of them (which loads xml and videos) I feel like I should be able to do this but have not found documentation on this. Below is the code i am using...
I am busy with a big project, for a brief outline, its an induction program kind of like a media rich slideshow done in flash (AS3). It consists of 10 chapters / modules, each module is a SWF with its own class file. Each module loads external and embedded videos and also mp3 sound voice overs at run time.
Each module loads and works fine by itself, but now the problem comes in where I am trying to create a main container swf to load and unload each of the other 10 module swfs, sequentially (ie first load module 1 swf, then when module 1 swf is finished, unload it and load module 2 swf etc)
I have researched for days and realize that when loading external swfs that have their own class files, problems arise because the external swf makes references to stage but it does not have access to the stage yet and I need to use something like this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, whateverFunction) in the constructor of the external file, and "... the loaded content must be on the Display List BEFORE any code in it referencing 'stage' is executed. " as quoted from Barbara Kaskosz's experiment on flashandmath.com. (I cant post links as I am under the 50 post restriction).
After trying for days with this and other guides I found, I still have not been able to successfully apply it to my projects files. If anyone would be willing to take the time for me to send them some sample files maybe my container FLA and two of the smallest modules and have a look at what I've done
My deadline is approaching fast and failing this deployment phase of combining all the swfs into one executable is like tripping at the finish line.
I am posting a link to my simplified and cut down files (for testing purposes) in hopes that someone may assist me. I also want an event to fire on the last frame of each of the modules, and for the main.swf to listen for it so it can unload the current module and load the next module.
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadNextModule", true)); //I think this should go on the last frame of the last slide of each module, //then in main.as add a listener addEventListener("loadNextModule", nextModule);
But would this listen for the event firing in an external swf?
I have deleted a lot of content in the modules to help with testing purposes, and simplified and made them only 3 slides each.
TL;DR : I have a container swf with a single movieclip that will contain external swfs that will load one at a time. Each swf works fine by itself, but I get errors when compiling the container swf because (I assume via research) the container swf AND EACH external swf has its OWN class file. In summary, I need the main swf to start by loading module1.swf, then when the user reaches the last slide of module 1, main.swf needs to unload module1.swf completely and then load module2.swf. You can traverse slides by pressing the 'right' and 'left' keys on the keyboard.
This is the error I am getting when compiling main.fla :
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/addChild() at main/loadFirstModule() at main()
I am attaching what code files I can given the restrictions, if you still require the two external .fla files
I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days and couldn't find a solution and Im sure its something I have completely overlooked on my part. I'm attempting to load in an external swf in my fla file using this custom loader class I created. I keep receiving this error in an attempt to load the swf, which is in the same directory as my fla file that is loading it:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null. at flash.display::Loader/_load() at flash.display::Loader/load() at com.proj.load::SWFLoadClass() at test_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
