What I wan't to do is load a .swf into an existing .swf to keep down loadtimes. I've placed the visual representation of the actuall loading on the external .swf [URL] (Actuall website I need this for, I'm redesigning it)
I would copy the elements/AS from the website above but it doesn't work. So obviously I've missed something. What I've got is quite simply:
Code:
loadMovie("my_path/my_swf.swf", "stageloader");
"stageloader" being the instance name of a movieclip on the _root containing a graphic at the size I want loaded loaded .swf's to fit.
Recently, I found a great little Flash project that acts like a jukebox for external mp3 song files, and am using it on my website to play my song demos.I'm now trying to find if there is an existing solution like that for video. I just need some way to progressively download video files from my webspace when the thumbnail is clicked... and am now looking into some sort of Flash jukebox.
I've tried just embedding the video files into HTML, but they don't progressively download for some reason (even though they are saved as Progressive With Compressed Header). I've even tried using prettyPhoto (...a script that mimics a Lightbox like feature, where the whole page dims, and a floating window appears over your site, displaying any media, and allowing you to move back/forth through your list of media)..... works great, but again, not a progressive download, so you stare at a blank screen for a while.
Seems the only way it works is if I have the file on YouTube or some other site, then embed it or use the prettyPhoto app.So, can someone either tell me how to make the embedded file download (OT, but I figured I'd ask), or point at some existing Flash file that serves as a video jukebox, showing all media on a common window?
I would like to automatically load an external swf inside an existing empty mc (or a new one) and load/unload different external swf on several button click functions. I've been trying so many different methods until its probably loaded with irrelevant functions!

myLoader.x=477;
myLoader.y=0;
/* Click to Load/Unload SWF or Image from a URL.
Clicking on the symbol instance loads and displays the specified SWF or image URL. Clicking on the symbol instance a second time unloads the SWF or image.
Instructions:
1. Replace "[URL]" below with the desired URL address of the SWF or image. Keep the quotation marks ("").
2. Files from internet domains separate from the domain where the calling SWF resides cannot be loaded without special configuration.

I have a file with existing MovieClips on the stage that I want to add Loaders to that will call external .jpgs from an XML file. I have the code working, but currently I have to add the Loaders one by one to the MovieClips. I'm sure there's a way to do this more easily by using a Loop, but I can't seem to get it to work no matter what I've tried.
I also want to be able to call a larger version of the image by clicking on the MovieClip/thumbnail. I've got the code working just fine, but when I tried to add a preloader to the full size image Loader, I got an error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. Flash indicates this is happening at the callFull function so its definitely an error with my preloader code. [code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a main shell swf file that has two buttons on it that should each launch/load their respective swf files (tool1, tool2). These should essentially replace the main swf file. Also, I have a button on tool1 & 2 that should bring you back to the main menu. All these files are then compiled into an exe. Seems easy enough, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.
So far I have:

tool1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoTool1);
function gotoTool1 (e:MouseEvent):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("tool1.swf"));

View 4 RepliesI'm working on a project for the new year gathering at our work. I made an application in which you can type a wish for the company and when you send it your message will be displayed in an dynamic text field and in the background fireworks are launched. These fireworks are external swf files, made in adobe after effects. They are launched when clicking a button. They are played at random. However, after playing 2 or 3 they start slowing down, probably because they stack on each other. I need the new swf to replace the old swf, now my application keeps loading new swf on top of each other.
View 1 Repliesautomatically replacing a flash file with a jpeg, for non flash users.
I also am looking for some scrpt which tells users if they haven't got a/the correct flash plug in. My site uses a flash 5 file as well as flash mx 2004.
I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
I have a website which needs to 3 images into 3 movieclips when the page loads. The page gets the URLs for the 3 images from an XML document, ie.

<imgurl>graphics/panda3.jpg</imgurl>
What I want to do is make a function which gets the image URL for each image and puts them into a target movieclip each. In AS2, the loadMovie function could do this. In AS3, I've figured out how to add an image to a movie clip, like this...

I'm creating a platforming game, and I have a fun little water thing set up. My goal is to be able to drag a water object from the library to the scene, and have the water physics kick in when the game starts.
To do this, I made the water object a black line, because width is necessary to know how wide I'd like the pool to be. Within the class I have a heightmap, so then I can connect all the heights together with lines using the drawing API.
The problem is, I can't get the original black line to disappear while still displaying the new lines and points Setting the alpha to 0 will permanently make everything invisible. I'm kind of new to this so maybe it's a dumb question.
I have looked at some of the related posts on this subject but i can't figure out how to solve my problem. I guess it has something to do with the fact that its monday.Well, here goes. i have a XML object containing:

<page>

And i want to replace only the label node with a new one. i put the new ones in an XMLList but now im stuck at how im supose to replace the actual nodes. This is how the XMLList looks like:
<page>
<text>
<style properties=""/>[code].....

The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.

There's a SWF file on one page that, when you click on a 'Start' button loads some image. The URL to this image is passed as a SWFObject variable. I would like to change this image to one I have uploaded on my host. have tried setting a breakpoint on the line that pushes the image URL variable to the object and setting my URL, but the image wouldn't load because of cross-domain policy.Now I am thinking of writing a simple c# proxy which will return my image instead of the real one when Flash requests it .To sum it up, I want to replace an image that SWF loads from a constant URL to a custom image of mine. Decompiling is not an option.
