ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swf In A For Loop?
Sep 23, 2011
I would like to create thumbnails in a player. For that, I have to load external swf files in a scrollPane component.
so in a for loop, I attach a thumbnail container in the scrollPane content, and with that container I load the swf.
the idea of the code is that :
mcThumbnailsScrollpane:MovieClip = menu.thumbnailsScrollpane.content;
var X_pos = 30;
var Y_pos = 25;
[Code].....
and so basically 8 or 9 thumbails are visible (on 34). furthermore when I skip the loadMovie and let only the container, I can see all containers. so I feel like the ScrollPane is not refreshing fast enought, or the movies take too long to load ...

I have a bit of a problem finding the correct syntax. I have a whole lot text variables here. The myLV value is in a external text file. So myLV.nr1 from my external textfield is loaded in ovrnr1.text. This way I can easily change the value in my text document.
ovnr1.text = myLV.nr1;
ovnr2.text = myLV.nr2;
ovnr3.text = myLV.nr3;
ovnr4.text = myLV.nr4;
If I put it like this it works fine but I thought, hey, in stead of writing
150 of these I can put it in a for loop. So I tried this.
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
ovnr[i].text = myLV.nr[i];
}
However, this does not seem to work ? And could I do it to a button too ? So instead of writing 150 button onrollovers I could also make a loop for it ?
Something like
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
this.btn[i].onRollOver = function() {

I've spent days working on this code, it seems so simple, but yet it never works. All I'm trying to do is make a loop automatically load person0.swf through person4.swf in the same directory. I've got it set-up so that I can change a single number and it loads up to person[whatever-the-new-number-is].swfCurrently it loads the first movie and thats it. I also get this error: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Menu()"Here is the code
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

Im working with FlashDevelop and have two main projects, all pure AS3 projects.When trying to load my second project from my main project I get all kinds of errors.The Main class of the main project extends Sprite and the Main class in the "to-be-imported" project extends MovieClip. Looking at the loading of the swf in the debug window in FD it all seems fine:
[SWF] 'pathToSwf'secondProject.swf - 410 626 bytes after decompression.
If i try to assign the loaded swf to a newly created MovieClip I get a coercion failiure:
swfContent = loader.content; // =>
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Main@46c0201 to flash.display.MovieClip.
So, typecasting the loaded content like so:
swfContent = loader.content as MovieClip;
removes that error but then I fall into the next pit as I try to call addChild:
Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
Trying to get around the issue I tried to add the loader directly into the container where I want to show the external swf. This is when the real interesting problems begin:
targetContainer.addChild(loader);
My main application now hang, restarting in a never ending loop. How can my external swf be loaded but then again be null.It works perfectly fine when I run the external swf by itself...

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

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 have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

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.

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 am writing a preloader to load an external SWF. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;[code]...
Etc. It keeps going until I close the movie.For some reason it's continually trying to load the movie...and I have no idea what. I literally copy and pasted the loader from a different (working) loader and swapped out the URL to the file.

create a multidimensional array which will pull text, swfs, and/or images from an xml file based on which button is clicked.What I don't understand is how to pull the swf or image file from the file like I have with the text. Truth be told, I'm completely lost and could really use some help fixing this. I need to pull text and images or the swf file from the xml depending on which button is clicked and I tried to put this together, but I've given myself a headache trying to understand where I went wrong.

I have problem with loading an image from a loop.The method I used is I created an array, then load the xml file with the images. And in the loop, where also the menu is created, I called through the array the wanted image from the xml.I tried to find the problem, but I don't get it to work as I want.The output says that the url is undefined, but sometimes when I try a different aproach, it loads constantly the same picture.

I'm loading XML, but I'm having trouble making a for loop so that I can output into text fields my xml info. I use this to load and put into the output window. Eventually I will put it into a text field. What I want really to do is for flash to output a list. This is what I want it to look like.
PHP Code:
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var output:String = "";
newsXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code] .....
If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different Tournaments. What I want is to have them all in a list. I also want to have scrolling bar.
