I've been trying for 2 days now to find the total number of frames of a dynamically loaded .swf.
Here's an example code:
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
loader.load(new URLRequest("mop.swf"))
master_mc.addChild(loader);

I have a program where I am supposed to first load a swf in the first frame (i will not know how long that swf is), and when that has finished playing the main program i supposed to move on to the next frame. Now my question is, can I somehow figure out how long that swf is from within my main program or will I have to put a simple _root.gotoAndPlay(2); in the last frame of my loaded swf?
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to check the currentframe or totalframes of a movie loaded into a 'holder clip' on the main stage? Everything i try just comes back with 1 frame despite there being more than that?

i'm trying to convert the total amount of frames of my movieclip into minutes:seconds:frames, but my return value is not correct. the total frames of my mc are 3348

Is there a way to get the total frames and current frame of an externally loaded swf? The code I am using below does not work. My _root timeline has three objects: two dynamic text boxes and a container clip. Their instance names are myText_text, myText2_text, and loader_mc, respectively. I have two variables, "i" and "j", which populate myText_text.text and myText2_text.text, respectively.The problem is that the values display "1" because they are getting the value of the container clip and not the movie loaded into the container clip. I need the _totalframes and _currentframe properties of the externally loaded clip, not the container clip. My code below doesn't work. Any ideas?[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to create a kind of "video player" that will allow me to move a playhead accross all theses SWF that are playing back to back. What I need to do is get the totalFrames of all these swf objects that are to be loaded. I tried loading each SWF (using the Loader class ofcoarse) and on the COMPLETE event grab the totalFrames and then move to the next SWF to populate an array that will be used to create a UI piece. The problem is that it starts playing the swf once it load and you can hear the background sound of each SWF. It also slows the program down. Is there anyway of grabbing the totalFrame property from external SWF's without actually having to load each SWF?
View 2 RepliesI know you can evaluate the total frames of an entire movie (read: swf) with _totalframes.
I know you can evaluate the total frames of an mc with instancename._totalframes.

Good to see Flash Kit forum lasting a long time. It's been some time since I was last here. Just upgraded to CS5.5 from Flash 8 and having difficulty migrating a counter to ASC3. Managed to rebuild my other time line controller buttons. The counter is ASC1 and inside a movie clip Total Timeï In the clip are 2 dynamic/variables text boxes. min0 and sec0ï They output minutes and seconds as 2 figures. 00 : 00. With a colon graphic in-between. It takes the old _root._totalframes count then produces the times.

Recently I got trouble with totalFrames attribute of MovieClip object, this is the case: in Flash CS, I created two movieclips, one has say 10 frames animation, another one, I drag the first MC in to it, then the second MC has only one frame in it's own time line, right? Then I export them as SWC file to include them in my project. Here's the problem, when I'm trying to get total frame number of these to MC like below, I just get to actual number of frames in the second MC:

So my question is, is there any way to get the actual number of frame for those MovieClip resource like the second one, without visiting any sub-movieclips in it
I have a peculiar problem with a swf published from Captivate (full motion recording, single slide). I wish to use the swf in another flash movie, and basically want to have things triggered when the movie has finished playing (like going to the next frame, where I plan to embed another swf). After doing some research, I decided to go with a method in which the movie's current frame is compared with the movie's total number of frames. To my surprise, the trigger occurs after only one second. Tracing the MovieClip(myLoader.content).currentFrame and MovieClip(myLoader.content).totalFrames reveals that the first one stops at 32, and the second one returns also 32 (according to captivate, it has 1411 frames). Yet the movie keeps playing.
I'm guessing that I'm referencing the wrong "currentFrame" and "totalFrames", but am completely lost as to why it's not working like it should.

detecting the totalFrames of content loaded into a Loader?
I made a dummy animation just for testing (150 frames of text just tweening across the screen) to load. I load that in and when it's loaded I'm always told it's only 2 frames long.
e.g.:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code].....
I just wrote that by hand now as an example so there might be a typo here or there but you get the general idea. I'm using CS5, flash player 10, just testing the movie and every time it traces 2 total frames. how to tell how many frames the loaded content actually has?
i have an array containing 4 mc:
Code:
private var notesDefinition:Array = [Note1, Note2, Note3, Note4];
When faceMc moves (while dragging or as a mouse trail), points are created dinamically every 200px and one of the array�s mclips is added there in a random function. Now i need to remove that mc when it reaches its last frame (just the mc on stage, not remove from the array). I tryed the following but its not working.
Code:
private function drawingAPI(event:Event):void{
var addNewNote:Boolean = false;
//add first point

I've completed all 3 tutorials listed on gotoAndLearn and I've got the following code.[code]So as you know I've got my 10 items dynamically loaded out of XML, as well as the MC Box, which is centered on the stage.My question is, how would I get the carousel to rotate around the centered box.

View 2 RepliesI've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);
I've been charged with the crusade of making a prettydifficult (to me) slideshow. This is what the client wants:1. externally loaded images2. externally loaded text (comments for each image)3. the timeline of the slideshow to be dictated by the numberof externally loaded images.Now, ive made tons of slideshows with 1. and 2. before, butthe request for 3. totally screws me up. I usually have a setamount of images that will be used, and accordingly, set up thetimeline using empty movie clips that use the loadMovie command todynamically grab images from a specified folder. They fade tweenover each other and everyone is happy. However, if I were to make amovie with item 3's parameters, I can't define a predeterminedtimeline. Im sure this can be done with actionscript but I am 100%c

I have a problem on resizing dynamically loaded swf in to a flash movie. The senario is
1) swf files are uploaded by users and the path of the swfs(flash banners) are taken in to the flash via flasvars.
2)so swf uploaded for each user is displayed in a loop
The problem is user may upload swf with different sizes.So I want to re size them to main movie size(ie 500*70) So what i tried to do is using MovieClipLoader and fix the size in onLoadInit function.But it gives really different sizes
than expected.
I cant understand why flash behave like this.
1)Can i resize the extaernal swf by using above method?or
2)what is the approach to re size dynamically loaded swf s?

You know when you load a external swf, it loads from the top left corner. How can the loaded image or movie load centered instead of aligned top-left?
I am actually using the XML thumbnail gallery here at kirupa. [URL]
