ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swfs + Full Browser Flash?
Jan 5, 2009
There are two external swfs loaded in one main flash file - the rolling ball, which is a default external swf, and the circles swf, which loads after the gray button is clicked. I would like the circles swf to load into the blank movie clip I have set up. I would like the external swf contained within the blank movie clip to be full browser flash and scaleable with any change in browser size. To do this, I set up some actionscript to make the blankmc full browser and scaleable (i've done this on a regular movie clip slide show from within a flash file, rather than being an externally loaded swf, and it worked.) with the hope that the blank movie clip and its contents, which would be the external circles swf file, would resize and rescale appropariately if the browser window were changed.
Currently, when the gray bar is clicked, the circles swf comes in not as full browser. Once the window is resized, the animation relocates itself to the lower right corner, with the top corner of the external swf situating itself on the center of the blank mc. I know this is a registration issue, but before resize the animation is where i want it. Also, while the scale of the circles animation does change with the browser window size, it does so i a wacky way.

Take a look at this swf file at [URL].. Click on the gray bar, then once the circles animation begins, try resizing the browser window.

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

Here's what i'm trying to do:
I have 3 different movieclips that acts as buttons. These 3 buttons are called mc_projekt1, mc_projekt2 and mc_projekt3.
When one of the buttons are clicked, they will load an external swf.
Here's my code for doing this with the first button (mc_projekt1):
Code:
// Projekt1
content.mc_projekt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, projekt1);
function projekt1(e:Event):void{
[Code].....
This works fine and all, but what I'm doing right now is repeating the code above for each of the 3 buttons (mc_projekt1, mc_projekt2, mc_projekt3) and just simply add a "2" after each function instead. So for mc_projekt2, it's imageLoader2 and loadImage2 etc. This also works fine, but I know I'll be adding more buttons over time and in the end I'll end up with a lot of the same code that way.
So I was wondering if by adding mc_projekt1, mc_projekt2 and mc_projekt3 and any future "mc_projekt" to an array this could all be done much simpler, I'm just not sure what to do ...

I found some handy script on xml flash menu, in which I've modified the code to how I would like everything to look and behave. Only, because I am new to this business of not having anything on the timeline, I do not know how to set the menu buttons as links to external swfs. I would like the buttons (menu items) to load an external swf into a holder on click. Then I would like the menu to collapse as it does when another main menu is clicked.

My main swf is 960x600 and loads full screen. it is a projector or swf, local. I have the code on frame 1 to ensure full screen and show all:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Then I load an external swf into a mc, and it goes full screen as expected. BUT the main swf that loaded that external one, at the time of load, suddenly gets scaled back down to its normal size: 960x600, on the top left corner of the Player Window (or the full screen), so somehow at 0,0. Whn I unload the external swf, I can put the code stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to get it back to where it was. But unfortunately I have some buttons from the Main swf that are supposed to be on top of the loaded one, and should stay where they are. But now they all move because of this scaling down.
the mc that is being used as a container for the loaded external swf is an empty mc located at 0,0. The external swf has the same size as the main one: 960x600
I searched and tried things but could not get it to stay in show-all mode when loading this external swf...

I have a full browser image slideshow. It works fine. I have a top menu with some buttons and with each one of them I would like to load a new slideshow swf on top of the existing one while still using the full browser layout. Is it possible to load the new external swf so that it will match the size of the first one? I have been trying numerous times...and the new swf I load always appears offset.

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.

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

I'm doing the tutorial for "transitions between external SWFs", but I'm having a problem because in the tutorial all of the buttons are on the main timeline, but in my site the buttons are on a different timeline. This is the actionscript that the tutorial tells me to use....
on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "work"; container.loadMovie("work.swf"); } else if (_root.currMovie != "work") { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = "work";

iv made a flash site using as3 using the actionscript on thefirst frame, this by itself works fine.iv also used an online tutorial tocreate a dynamicslideshow/photo gallery which again works fine, but this time usingan external .as file.When i try to load the external slideshow/gallery into amovieclip in the site it dosnt work and i get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method ofa null object reference.im pretty sure its because the code used in the main flashfile is on the timeline and the code in the external file to beloaded in is in an external as file.
the code im using to load the external flash file is:
var toload =new Loader();
toload.load(new URLRequest("newfile.swf"));

I am loading one variable from javascript to one main swf file which does have 2 more links to other 2 external swf files, i want to use the same var to be transfered to those 2 files when they are loaded
This is teh javascript in the header:
function CountryCode(){
document.getElementById('Spotlight_en_gb').SetVari able("ccode", "SU");
}
This script is triggered onLoad when the page loads.
One dynamic text box var name is ccode and instance name countrychk is taking the values and action accordingly, other two files need the same var to use but on LoadMovie they dont get teh value.
Here are the links:
1.
on (release) {
unloadMovie(1);
loadMovie("Movies.swf", 1);

I have a question regarding the swapping out of swf files in Flash CS3 / AS3.I start my project with a �logo� swf, which has no interactivity.At the last frame, the following code is used to load another swf from the local folder:
-------------------------------------------
//Stop current swf and stop its sound
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
[code]...
How do I remove and/or unload the previous swf when a new one is loaded? and remove that previous swf from memory? Can I give the current swf access to the previous one, then run a �remove� or �unload� function on it?

As you can see, I have an external swf file that loads into a container clip. When a user clicks on the next project button, or any other category, another image gallery starts loading. My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones?

I have a game which has various cutscenes. Each cutscene is split up into 3 or 4 seperate swf movie files which can be played (and replayed) by the user.
My question is, I've seen many tutorials on how to load external swfs but how do I load several movie clips into memory, and then clean everything up once the user has finished viewing them all?

After years of putting it off, I've finally begun the move to AS3.The frustration I've encountered is evidently shared by a lot of other designer/developers. Knowing that the future is inevitable, I have bitten the bullet and forged ahead. There has been one thing, however, that has just been a real quandry and has cost me hours of banging my head against the wall.That would be getting an externally loaded swf to (really) unload in an AS3 file.Before I even begin to post code, let me just say that I've tried a lot of things read in books, posts from this and other forums, and trial and error to no real avail. In my research I've come across many others who are experiencing the same problem and even one reference that suggests you not use AS3.For a project that uses multiple loads and unloads that's due in a month, should I just go with AS2?I'm using CS4 on a PC publishing to Flash player 10. And yes I have tried "unloadAndStop()" and "removeChild()".

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

Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 internal training project Main movie is a single frame project, containing just the interface. This includes a menu listing 80+ individual "chapters" for the training series. Each "chapter" that loads is its own project/swf of varying lengths. Once the main interface loads, it should automatically begin to play the chapters sequentially without the user selecting anything from the menu. When one chapter finishes, the next should load. If the user DOES select a chapter in the menu, it should load that SWF, and continue auto-playing from that selection forward.
- Each chapter swf has a built-in play/rewind/ff bar, various movie clips with animations, dialogue audio track and a fairly lengthy embedded FLV movie, and therefore a preloader before each chapter is mandatory.What I have so far works, but it's embarrassingly crafted my lack of AS skills:- First frame of main interface movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code:
var slideName = "modules/00.swf";
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

It seems to be working but, as I know very little about coding I just wanted to ask the experts and see if its ok? or should be done differently. I added the preloader code from watching the tutorials but not sure if its even in the right place?

How to load external swfs into the an MC content box using movies with embedded buttons? The problem I'm running into is this: I have animated buttons within movie clips. I also have a main_content MC in my scene into which I'm trying to load background images from another file. This other file has 3 frames, each with a different image. I don't know what the action script would be for a movie/button to load my external swf frames into the main_content MC.

I have a gallery with a Next/Previous button and individual frames that contain a "loadMovie" function. When the user clicks next or previous the movie jumps to a new frame and loads an external swf/w a preloader into a container. The way I have it , the movie has to load each swf one at a time. Is there a way to have the movie loading the other swfs in the background, so the user doesnt have to ait for each swf to load?

What I'd like to do is this, lets say on my nav I have "Section 1". If you rollover "Section 1", subsection1, subsection2 and subsection3 drop down. If you click on any of those I'd like to load a short little intro .swf into the stage and then that subsection .swf loads into the stage. This I know how to do.
This is what I don't know how to do and need help here. So now your in subsection1 and you click on subsection2 or 3 from the same dropdown menu, how can you tell these buttons that the intro has already played and doesn't need to play again? Then if your in subsection2 and click on subsection1 or 3, same thing, don't play the intro again. The intro should only play when you intially click on one of the subsections.

build a dynamic portfolio using AS2? there is different code to use for loading pictures and other file types like flvs and swfs. I know that I use a path to the file I want to show in the XML. So do all I have to do is use a path to a flv or swf and it will work the same?
