ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swf Files With Buttons From Inside A Movieclip?
Mar 3, 2010
In my main .swf I have labels on the timeline, navs for those btns are on the first frame of the AS layer and each button sends the playhead to a different frame. On one frame called fr1 there is an mc called mc_1 that appears on stage when the playhead stops there. Inside mc_1 are a set of navigation buttons that need to call external .swfs.
Do I add event listeners on the last frame of mc_1 for each button? how do I call the loaders for the swfs on the buttons since the swfs will load on the main timeline NOT the mc_1 timeline?
So label on main timeline called fr1 will load external1 swf , on fr10 external 2.swf will load and so on.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I'm trying to load an external swf inside of my movie clip.
meter.loadMovie("external.swf");
I managed to get the above to work but as soon as I press a button in the external movie it reacts with my main movie! So a button in the external movie that makes the timeline go to frame 2 makes the main flash file to goto frame 2. Also, can you load external swf files that use external folders for content? Basically I have an interactive diabetes meter and it's all controlled via scripting ( I didn't create it ) but it has the main swf file which you load. However it references other folders and scripting files.

I'm trying to load an external swf file into a specific sized movieclip. This is what I have written:
loadMovie("example1.swf", "pane_mc");
It doesn't work when I test it. Do I have to specify the dimensions of the movieclip? If so how do I do that?

I am working on a website, its a project, I built custom buttons and used there own AS3 to make them play on hover. There is one problem thou, in my main scene or timeline I created this function:
about_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
var aboutURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about.swf");
})
contact_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
var contactURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact.swf");
})
cat_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
var galleryURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("catalogue.swf");
})
port_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
var portURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("port.swf");
})
Ok but it had the navigatetoURL function but I took it out. Reason is because I want these buttons to load in a movieclip (mc_loader) as external swf files. I am not sure as is to linking these buttons to the loader movieclip.

I basically made movie clip buttons to navigate through my site, has sounds and all...now all i need those buttons to do is to call out a .swf file from a certain directory. I know how to do this with the traditional button, but not with a movie clip button since it requires a function. This is what I have tried and failed with so far:
// PROFILE SECTION BUTTON //
this.profile_mc.onRollOver = function(){
profile_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");

I am trying to figure out how to link a bunch of buttons to different photo albums inside a single HTML page in Dreamweaver. Here is an example of what I mean: [URL]
Unless I'm mistaken, everything in this website is contained within one HTML document.When you click on any of the various buttons in the portfolio menu, they simply load up and appear inside the same HTML document.
How on earth do you do this without clicking on any of the various buttons and having them linked to another page??

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

I created a site using Kirupa's external .swf loading tutorial. Now in one of my externally loaded .swf's, I am loading another external .swf. I've gotten this to work fine, but the second external .swf (loaded into the first) contains buttons that will swap this second external .swf with another external .swf. I can't seem to get the AS references to the variables set up correctly in order to swap the swf's. The initial .swf loads fine, but the button control gets complicated inside it. It sounds rather confusing, so I've included a link to the .fla's and .swf's below.

The file structure:
-band.swf load's profiles_main.swf
-The buttons in profiles_main.swf are trying to load chris.swf (swapping it entirely with profiles_main.swf)

I have a flash file that load an external swf with this script, all using AS3:
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();
addChildAt(my_Loader, 0);
var my_url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("final-video.swf");
my_Loader.load(my_url);
Inside this external file (final-video.swf) i have buttons called for example button1, button2...What will be the path to have actions to these buttons? I tried, from the original file not the external swf (final-video.swf), this script:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, actionBtn1);
but i have this error: 1120: Access of undefined property testBtn.how can you call from the front flash file, buttons that are inside external swf?

I'm new at AS3. I'm pretty good when it comes to PHP, MySQL or HTML but I'm totally lost in AS.I have a project in Flash Builder 4 that I'm trying to add something to that was built in Flash Professional. It's supposed to loas a couple of external AS files, then execute functions from them at a certain point in the application. I know where I want the functions to execute in the application, and I have linked the AS files to "test.as" which is the main AS file for "testapp.mxml". The problem is calling the "Detector" function from inside "FaceDetector.as" which is one of the external AS files. What is the best way to do the following.[code]I want to start the script and let it do what it's supposed to do inside the application at that given time.

I have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?

I have a flash component that is an image gallery. I want to have multiple image galleries on my site, but instead of multiple instances of the component, I want to have multiple buttons that can be clicked that will load in different xml files to populate the component.
Would code like this do something like that:
var eventListener = new Object();
eventListener.button_click = function (evnt){ trace("Button clicked");} myGallery.addEventListener("button_click", eventListener);

I'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:

I'm having trouble importing an external .swf into my .fla. file. The only AS that is working gor me is-
loadMovie("panoSceneNoMarkers.swf", _root);
However, once the swf shows, it replaces the background interface. I assume I have to add a _level into the code but how?

I've been making a game using Adobe Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 on my desktop and it was working fine. I tried to transfer the folder containing the flash file and all of the .as files to my laptop via a jump drive and now, when I run the the swf, it doesn't appear to be loading any of my .as files. All of the files are still located in the same folder as my flash files and it still compiles and runs fine on my desktop.
