View 12 RepliesI have code like this:
ldr = new Loader(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SWF/Somefile.swf");
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); ldr.load(req); Object.addChild(ldr);
That I use to load SWF movies into a flash file. I do this because I am unable to compile clips and put them into my main movie library without breaking the actionscript and causing everything to go haywire.The problem with this is that it will only work so long as the swf movie file is within the vicinity of the SWF/Somefile.swf. I need to make a standalone SWF for my purposes.
using the command:
loadMovie(_root.section, _root.content);how would i work in a preloader bar?? add one to the file that is loaded into the main movie or on my main movie that is loading the file?

I have a flash movie I'm externally loading into my SWF. It isn't mine. I'm trying to pause the swf, but I can't and I don't know how the SWF works because it isn't mine. I was thinking about maybe creating a bitmap of it, but I can't do that because I don't think you can create bitmaps at runtime of moviing movie clips. Is there a solution to my problem

Is it possible to target a loaded movie within the main timeline and stop sounds in that particular movie only?
View 4 Repliesmy problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
My site consists of a main swf file ('home.swf') which then has other swfs loaded into it via an empty movie clip.I have created one such swf. file (news.swf) which features 2 simple scrolling text buttons (one to move text down, and the other to move it up).http:[url].....
Everything works fine when I preview the news.swf on its own, but when I preview the home.swf and view the news.swf loaded into it, the button which should move the text up doesn't work.I think it's something to do with using the term _root. but i don't know what to replace it with.This is the script I have on the button that doesn't work:
//Events during mouse click
on(press) {
_root.controller.gotoAndPlay (2);[code]........
Is it just a case of changing the _root. term, and if so what should I change it to, or is it trickier than that.
I have created a main swf file which holds a movie container which other swf's load into. One of the sections has a form in it. When I preview this section on its own the form works, but when I preview through the main swf file (or online) the text fields cannot be typed into. How can I fix this? Files can be downloaded from;[url]....

View 7 RepliesIf I load an external swf:
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("abc.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
abc.swf starts playing - how do I get it to tell the main movie that it reached the end of its timeline and finished playing? Added bonus: the loaded swf is AS1 and the main movie is AS3. I'm not sure if I could convert the loaded swf to AS3.
In my main movie I am loading external swf files. The proplem is that these files are cached so when they load the updates aren't shown. I've read some stuff about loading vars or xml with a random function to prevent it from caching, can that work with swf files? Maybe something like:loadMovie ("news.swf?="+random(1000),_root.dropPage_mc);'ve placed the meta tags in the main html to stop that from caching; which doesn't really work. Could the same be applied in the html? Or maybe a php function when loading the main flash movie?

The files that are loaded are only a few kb so I'm not worried about the user having to load the files everytime.
I bought some flash templates and have a big problem. When using some flash movie with dynamic text when I run it standalone - its working 100%. If loaded into main movie then static text,graphic, actionscript is working fine but all dynamic text is not visible. Something in main movie is making dynamic text invisible. Please guys some help will be great - I spend already 3 months trying to figure out problem but with no luck.

I can't seem to load a movie clip, and then pass some variables from that loaded movie clip back to through stage_mc it is loading into - to the SubClip.
The structure is as follows:
Main
>SubClip
>>Stage_mc
Where the new movie clip is loading into stage.
I need to pass two variables from the loaded clip into the SubClip. Simple vars to fill some dynamic text in SubClip.
I've done the whole _root.myvar thing, _parent, and _global.
I have an interface that contains audio controls in the Library (class: AudioControls)When a movie is loaded into the interface, and it happens to contain a sound (class: Audio_1), this loaded movie calls an interface function to show the audio controls:
Code:
if (Interface._ui != null) {
Interface._ui.playCurrentAudio();
}
The problem is, the playCurrentAudio() func in the interface contains some code that refers to nested MCs:
Code:
public function showAudioControls():void {
audioControls.x = 710;
audioControls.y = 583;
//
[code]....
That would be the speaker, rewind_btn, playPause_btn, etc. Referring to the parent clip, "audioControls", is no problem of course. But I get an error when I publish the loaded movie:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property speaker through a reference with static type AudioControls.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property rewind_btn through a reference with static type AudioControls.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property playPause_btn through a reference with static type AudioControls.
I want to load an external swf and dynamically attach the mc's in the loaded swf to the main movie. Is it possible to reference the linkage properties of the externally loaded swf in this way?

I have been approached to design a configurator for a new television product. The Application will let users specify the colours of certain parts of the product and also attach addons, which then updates a cost total.
In the main interface i have a looping animation of the product slowly rotating around 360 degrees that i rendered in 3ds max. When a user clicks a button on the interface i need to load an external movieclip on top of the main animation so it looks as though a certain part has changed colour, this i have acheived. The problem is that when i load the external clip over the original, the loaded clip starts playing from frame 1 and i need it to inherit the playhead position of the main animation so the two layered pieces look as though they are rotating as one. I'm sure this must be possible, unless i need to approach the problem in a different way?
i just recently started programming in flash and so far I have learned a lot, but new questions keep coming up
My problem is that I want to load an external swf in an empty movieclip and then manipulate this loaded swf from my main movie. For example tell it to go to a certain frame. Is such a thing possible?
Is 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?
