ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Some Very Poorly Built Swfs Into A File?

May 6, 2010

So I am loading some very poorly built AS2 swfs into an AS3 file.I am able to open them and close them (addChild and removeChild)The problem I am now faced with is each of these AS2 swfs contain video using the AS2 FLVPlayback component. When I open the first SWF, the video plays fine, I close the SWF(removeChild). Then I go to open the next and the video will not play.

If I reload the page and open that second video first, it works.It seems when I watch a video for the first time no matter which AS2 swf I pick, it works. Its when I close it and open another one is when it doesn't work..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading 2 Ext Swfs Into Master File Need To AddChild In Order

Mar 28, 2010

loading 2 external swfs into one main file using 1 preloader, I have figured out how to get the preloader to handle the correct # of bytes loaded and such but my 1st swf I want to load onto the stage is a video file and I want it as the background but I don't want it to start until after they are both (the video and main file - 2 external swfs) loaded and then I want to start the video and place it on the stage first, then place the main swf on the stage.

I can get the order right if I place them into my load complete function but then my buttons don't work on the main file.
 
Here is the code:
 
var bytesLoadedVidBG:Number = new Number();var bytesTotalVidBG:Number = new Number();var loader0:Loader = new Loader(); // load video BGvar loadedSWF0:Object;loader0.load(new

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

ActionScript :: Wait For Image To Built Before Loading Frame

Jul 5, 2011

I have a script that takes lots of content and builds 1000s of MovieClips on the stage, does lots of drawing etc. Due to the high amount of work needed when the frame first loads this can sometimes be delayed by a second or two. The more the user uses the application the longer and longer this is likely to be (more data to siphon through and build). My question to you is how do I make sure the frame doesn't show (serve a loading image or something) until it is built? I don't want the user to see the skeleton of the page and then everything appear a second or two later.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Other Swfs From Loaded Swfs?

Aug 2, 2006

Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?

IDE :: Built Up An .fla File To Its Current Size Of 44MB?

Aug 15, 2009

I'm pretty new to Flash. I have slowly built up an .fla file to its current size of 44MB. It is in AS3 (CS4) and has numerous jpegs imported into it with animated masks over each.I am now experiencing multiple issues that have made it impossible to work on it.

1. A week ago I started occasionally getting "Flash has has unexpectedly quit" error messages, whereupon Flash would crash. This was before I started adding many of the jpegs and the file size was still something like 5MB. Now I receive these messages almost constantly - If I try to open a second file within Flash or when I just work in my main file for a few minutes.

2. A few days I ago I started getting a few random messages saying "error initializing java runtime environment you may need to reinstall flash". This was fixed by simply restarting Flash, but still troublesome.

3. Rarely I would finish working on something and try to test the movie. It would go through the loading bar, but then nothing would happen. The only way to fix this was to go back to a previous file version and rebuild from there. My current file save has this problem.

Now I am stuck because I have to go back quite a ways to find a file that will successfully test. On top of that if I try to import one of my new movieClips into the older file version, Flash of course crashes.

Is the file too big? It doesn't feel like I'm doing that much. I've definately seen flash sites that have way more going on than mine. Could it be all the imported jpegs? Could I be importing them in a bad way? How can I avoid/fix these issues?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading 2 Swfs Into One File To Display Side By Side

This was super easy using AS2. I had 2 'loader' movie clips placed on the stage and simply used the loadmovie to bring up the external swfs. How would i accomplish this using AS3? I simply need one movie to display on one side of the stage, and another on the other side of the stage. do i still use these 'loader' movie clips?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading SWFs From Another SWF?

Feb 1, 2012

I have a SWF that contains 3 spaces for banners on a 'My Account' page. Initially they all showed the same banners to all customers but now we segment customers and that means each banner can have numerous variations. This has caused the SWF to be massive (over half a meg) for something we aim to have 80-100 Kb.

I believe the solution is to have the current 'main' SWF be a place-holder that decides what segment the customer is in for each banner then pull another SWF file from the server - so only the banner being displayed is the one being downloaded.I cannot find AS to download externally hosted SWFs...

ActionScript 3.0 :: SWFs Loading On Top Of Each Other?

Apr 9, 2009

The three buttons on the stage all load remote SWFs into the same location ... Each succesive button that is pressed is supposed to load a movie that takes the place of the one that is currently thereThe problem is, each button click merely loads it's movie underneath the existing one ... so they just keep stacking up on top of one another. I need a way for the code to check if a movie is loaded, and if so, unload that one first before it loads the current one I though an "if" statement could check to see if the "swfLoader" instance is fully loaded, and then if it is, it would know to remove child I know there must be a more efficient way to see if anything is on the stage

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Swfs That Contain PHP?

Feb 23, 2008

1) I made a german and an english swf-file, each of them containing the entire website. These two you catch from the main index-file, which is only a txt showing "german" and "english". When you click one of them, you load one of these two swfs.It takes some time, because the swfs contains a lot of heavy images which are glued to the swf. Ill get back to that loading swfs later...

2) inside each of these two swfs I made some PHPfunctions. One is a guestbook, the other is a form, where you send personal info (4 boxes, single-line) + a message in multiline to my email through PHP.When I publish the swfs individually and one at the time WITHOUT the main index (english/german) which loads the swfs it works almost fine. The input txt boxes appear on the screen, and you can type in the boxes. When I recieve this email through PHP, it up a bit. There is no space between " message" and "apartment of choice", its all one long line. Apart from that, it works...

However, when I load the swfs using the "main index file" with the german/english choice, the input boxes doesnt even SHOW on the screen. Only the txt telling you where to write what. The txt-curser shows, though, and you are aware, you should write something here, but you write using WHITE txt. When you click "send" in the GuestBook, the email looks good, the message is there, but writing the message on the website, you dont see what you write, because it white!

QUESTION:How do I load external swf-files ( not only images, but entire files, that itself is told to load other swfs) into a main, so that the PHP inside these swfs are working properly? If I am to write some script inside the indexs ASRunActiveContent, where do I write it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Sub SWFs Behind The Scenes Into MC

Apr 18, 2010

I have a site that has one main file and then another five sub swfs that get loaded in when you click on various buttons. I would like to load these sub swfs behind the scenes, even before they click to open them. Is there a way to load them into some mc without adding it to the stage, but making it so that when they do click to actually load that swf in, it will already be cached? I'd prefer not to do a traditional preloader for each and every sub section. I'd rather just load in all the sub swfs, have them cached and ready to go so that when they do click on a section, it will be good to go.

Navigation With Keys And Loading SWFs?

Dec 2, 2009

I have been working on a project which has been giving me headaches. I want to be able to navigate through a presentation using the arrow keys - To do everything on the one timeline was going to be too complicated and messy so tried to create separate files but could not get the separate files loading -.My next problem is incorporating the two approaches - here is my code from my test files with my attempt added:

stop();
// create an array to hold the names of the frame labels
var labels:Array = new Array();
// take the name of each label in a MovieClip and put each

[code]....

I can either get the arrow key navigation to work or the previous movie to load but the left arrow key then doesn't navigate back. Although in saying this version doesn't work and I can't get it load again.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking SWFs Together Without Loading On Top Of Another?

Nov 21, 2010

I have a conundrum in that I have 5 SWF files, I have various buttons in these SWF files linking to one another. Now all I want to do is have these buttons open up the relevant SWF file (and therefore completely replace the current SWF).I have been using a Loader class so far, but have just realised that this simply loads the new SWF into the original one! (Because I am dense), and everytime a button is clicked its loading the SWF on top of the original (slowing down my program quite a lot, as you can imagine!)

Is there no simple way of just linking these SWFs together without loading them on top of another? (I looked up unloadAndStop, but I can't get it to work in my SWFs! I have also read containers being mentioned, but I would rather stay clear of that as well if I can!)

Professional :: Swfs Are Not Loading From Server?

Dec 11, 2010

I have a problem. We have a website www.onlinerealgames.com which hosts the game developed by our company. Recently we wanted to change the template. We are testing the new template in a subdomain of ours which is www.onlinerealgames.in . Everything is fine except that the swfs in the server are not loading. Instead they are showing Movie Not Loaded. If I directly access the swf with the URL it showing the download option window.
 
We are having seperate database for both sites. Both have same swfs. If we change the source from .in to .com then the swfs are loading properly (in the src property of embed tag)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Swfs From Different Folders?

I got a webpage with a main swf.

That main swf is trying to load language files xml files and other swfs in other folders...

I got the error code that the source path can not be found... I have checked this and it is the correct source path because if I run the single swf that doesnt work from its specific folder than it is all fine. but the swf and its connected xml files doesnt work from another folder.

However if I move all the files to one folder and change the source paths then it works... I can not divide the languages into different folders and then load these files from the main swf...

How can I load different swfs with connected xmls from different folders without source paths problems?
