The following code provided by Mr. kglad works great in loading an external .swf file onto stage. Now, when I click on Contact (Button), the external .swf file to be removedcompletely. How to code on contact (Button) to work it out.
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GalleryClick);
function GalleryClick(e:Event):void{
if(currentClip != Gallery_mc){
[code].....
I have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
View 15 RepliesOn my site I have 5 buttons for navagation along the top, when you go to the Photos section there is a button that appears on stage and, when clicked, loads an external swf onto the stage, no problems so far.If I or the user clicks this button to load this external swf onto the stage and then clicks one of the other navagation buttons to go to a different section of the site, that external swf doesn't disappear.

View 13 RepliesI loaded an external SWF file, now I need to understand how to unload the external SWF file. Is it possible to add the code to the last frame of the external SWFs internal timeline, so when it exits the last frame, it unloads itself.The script to load the SWF is below. Can I add the unload code to the last frame of timeline of the SWF?[code]
View 3 RepliesI have three AS2 swf files main.swf - very simple swf file with three buttons (home,btn1, btn2)
1.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn1
2.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn2
Home button simply removes the loaded swf and shows btn1 and btn2.
If I launch main.swf and click btn1, then 1.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn2.. 1.swf still loads! When I close main.swf and reopen, click btn2, then 2.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn1.. 2.swf still loads! WTSDLFKJ@##@$
This is why I ask how to completely unload the swfs? I've tried every different way to unload Google could show me.. unload, unloadandstop, etc. I've tried loading 1/2.swf as a movieclip and URLRequest. I've tried using two separate containers and loaders. Still the same thing.. the first opened swf is the only one that will open unless I close main.swf, reopen and then click the OTHER button.
I should note that 1/2.swf are flip book style applications that load external .xml data.
I'm actually creating a pretty simple banner that needs to stay under 40k size. I'm trying to load and unload an external .swf to my main swf file. So far, I only managed to load my external .swf, without finding a way to make it appear and disappear at specific frames (the external .swf shows up directly at frame 1, then when the animation loops over, it stacks over and over).
I read some things about onEnterFrame and counters but still wasn't able to solve my issue.
Here's my actual code. It makes the "horse.swf" file (located in the same folder as my main swf) fades in into my main swf after it has been loaded.
By the way, I used The LoaderMax system from greensock. because it seemed lighter and easier to manage than the native Adobe Loader one.
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.loading.*;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

I have a mini-project where I want to make an object grow and move to a different section of the stage when I click on it. I know how to do this part, but what I want is for it to "move" there as if it were a tween, but I want to do it with code instead of with the timeline. I want it to function exactly as it does now, but with a motion tween. I also do NOT want it to jump back to the beginning when another button is clicked, but rather play from where it is. I've also attached the FLA with this.
Code: Select alllearn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, learnClick);
learn.buttonMode=true;
act.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, actClick);

If i have a clip on the stage with an instance name, can it be moved its x,y position with an external .txt file?
View 2 RepliesI have a problem whereby I want to, on a click of the button on the main scene, it will target a certain frame label instead of playing from the start of an external movie clip. Is it possible? Something like gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", "play"); but it is an external swf.

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

on [URL] what is the word 'section' in _root.section? I assume it is a movie clip instance, but can't seem to find it on the timeline.
View 2 RepliesI have a function that loads and XML file. Which populates a scrollbar with images. I have three sections in my application Education, Hospital and Retail. The images being loaded differ in these 3 sections only by there placement. So for example, in education the image order is 1, 2, 3. For Hospital the image order needs to be 3,1,2 and of course Retail is say is 2,3,1. I might add that more then 20 images are being loaded and it is only the first 3 that need shuffled.
I want to use the same XML file for each section. Rather than duplicated the code 3 times and write 3 different XML files, can I move the images to the correct position say using a if statement like if(education == true); then image order = this; or if(hospital == true); then image order = this. Does that make sense? Is that even doable?

I'm sure this question has been answered but I have been looking everywhere and all I can find is how to load an external SWF but not how to unload it. I come from a basic knowledge of AS2 and it was easy for me to load using levels but I have run into a wall. I have a main swf and to keep the initial filesize small I would like to split some image intensive sections out and load them when needed.
View 6 RepliesI suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.

My index page has two buttons... 'about' and 'portfolio' which loads each respective external swf into a holder.When 'portfolio' is loaded there are another 8 buttons which again load 8 external swfs into a holder in the portfolio.swf.
