ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload Current Swf Whenever A Button Is Clicked / Load New On In Same Spot
Sep 28, 2011
I have a menu set up with several buttons (on the left side of the screen), each of which loads an external swf (on the right side of the screen). Within some of these swfs are more buttons to load other swfs, and the menu on the left remains active while another swfs is playing.What I want is to unload the current swf whenever a button is clicked and load the new on in the same spot. So before I was using addChildAt to get the external swf's at a certain level, and then removeChildAt to take away whichever swf it is and then add the next one. That didn't stop the sound, so I switched it to unloadAndStop and set up a function that unloadAndStops each individual swf, like this:[code]
That function runs every time a new swf is called to remove the previous one.Now I know that's not what I should do since I'm effectively using a method on objects that aren't in the display list, and it's apparent since it messes up the text later on in the timeline. But I don't know any other way to get everything to unload and to stop all the sound. It would be a headache to make specific paths for the buttons within swf's, but I don't even know what I'd do about the buttons in the main timeline that don't know what swf is playing on the right.I've searched lots of different forums for this one, for something kinda like unloadAndStop and kinda like removeChildAt, so I'm thinking I need to reorganize this project somehow

i have looked everywhere for a tutorial on this - i have tried writing, and re-writing codes....i just cant get it. is there any tutorial i overlooked? here is what im looking to do - NO SHORTCUTS: have my main file that loads the buttons, my external swf container, my intro animations, and my swf "out" and "in" animations when a button is clicked i want it to point me to specific frame labels. i will have an "out" and "in" frame label and which will be the locations of the transitional starting points i want it to play the "out" transition, than unload the current swf, than play the in transition, than load the swf of the button that was clicked i want the animations to all be done using frame labels all within the MAIN swf file.... i have had no luck doing this....and i do NOT like the tween class....

I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?

The code works but with an issue. When I load an image it replaces the current one loaded but when I alpha tween the image to zero I see both images fading out on top of each other like the first one is still loaded but underneath the current one. Any body run into this before?
var imageLoader:Loader;
function loadImage(url:String):void {
// Set properties on my Loader object

I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

i'm trying to zoom in on a picture at the specific spot where the mouse is clicked. ie if the mouse is clicked in the lower left corner, the pic gets bigger from there, not the center of the pic.the only way i can think of to do this is to reset the registration point to the clicked position. is this possible?

I'm using CS3 with Action Script 2.
I have a button that loads an outside .swf into a blank container. That works fine, however, I want to use the same button to unload that movie. Basically I want it to work as a toggle button.

I am an uber n00b to flash AS3. And it is not my intention to sound like a complete moron, but honestly, I have had a hard enough time figuring out just how to load an external .swf into my main file! add a button within the external .swf which will unload itself and load a new on in its place.

I have a main swf (call it Main1). Main1 calls an external swf (call it swf1). Swf1 loads on top of Main1 like it should. Swf1 has a button that calls another swf on top of Main1(call this Swf2). Well the problem is, the button on Swf1 calls Swf2 on top of itself, instead of removing Swf1 first. I cannot figure this out for s*** how to make this work. How can I unloading Swf1 from the loader, and at the same time load Swf2 into the loader from a single button residing on Swf1? My code is below.
Main1 has a button (click_btn) that loads Swf1 (click_btn is in a Movie Clip, not on main timeline)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
click_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, loadMC)
function loadMC(ev:MouseEvent){
[Code].....
How can I incorporate something like the close button (closer) into done_click to close Swf1 when I call Swf2 from this button (done_click)

I've gone fully gray trying to learn how to do something in AS3 that was routine in AS2: Unloading (if something's already there) something from a movie clip then loading something in the same clip, all with the same button. Here's the code I'm using, er, attempting to use now. These are for two buttons out of a set of 9. All I'm trying to do is the simple: look to see if there's something in the clip "hovercap", and if so, remove it completely;, then load a new movie. (If there ISN'T something in "hovercap", I want to load a new movie anyway.
invisible_mvp1800c.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_DOWN, loadImage); {
function loadImage(url:String):void {
if(imageLoader != null && contains(imageLoader)){
removeChild(imageLoader);
[Code] .....
Clearly, I'm still learning things in AS 3.

I'm trying to load a .swf when a button is clicked on. This is my actionscript:
on (press) {
loadMovie (exper.swf);
}
It is in the same folder and I even loaded it into my library to try that.
I get this error when I test my movie, but I'm not sure what it means...:/
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=navi, frame=1:Line 2: Wrong number of parameters; loadMovie requires between 2 and 3.

the basic idea is i have a forward button and a back button.. I have 3 swf's that i want to load/unload with these buttons..
[Code]...
this is what ive started with for the forward button... as it is now when i click the button it automatically executes the else and loads scene_3.swf so i know i have something wrong.. the idea is that if the viewer is on scene_1.swf hitting forward will load scene_2.swf, if they are on scene_3.swf nothing should happen when they click it as (at this time i only have 3 swfs available, but eventually i will have 8 ) of course i would be using this as well on the back button...

I'm trying to create a set of 4 vertically arranged buttons that 'split' apart when those buttons are pressed. For example, if you click the topmost (1st) button, the bottom three buttons will drop down so submenus (for the 1st button) can now be revealed beneath. Again, when you click the 2nd button from the top, the bottom two buttons drop down, revealing submenus, and so on.
Now, is there a way that I can use actionscripting to tween the buttons to not only motion tween a drop down when a button is first pressed, but also to motion tween the button to return up to its original spot when another button is then pressed? Right now, I have two keyframes, side-by-side which each containing a different y-scale value for an object. Can I do some actionscripting to get the object to motion tween upward to its original spot instead of "clicking," or snapping back to is original spot when another button is pressed?

im creating a portfolio website that primarily uses flv videos for graphics. For example, if you click to go to another section of the website a video plays that actually walks you to that area. What I want to do is be able to load a different video when a button is clicked in the exact same place as the old one. I currently have a working class that plays a video

I want to some how be able to change the variable flvName on the click of a button on my stage and recall the class to change the video. If you can think of an alternate way of doing what i need to do id love to hear it.
