ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWFs, AddChild(Loader) Versus AddChild(Loader.content), Etc?

Jul 29, 2009

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:

Code:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);

This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:

Code:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);

[code]....

What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load An External Swf Into Another Swf Using Loader?

Nov 1, 2011

I am trying to load an external swf into another swf using Loader but I am having difficulties to do so. The thing seems to be that some of the classes of the loaded clip are called the same as the parent clip's classes. Both swf's document classes are called "Launcher", for example, also they use StringUtil (tho both projects have their own "StringUtil" class).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External Swf Using Loader Class?

Apr 25, 2009

I have a flash rotating banner script that I purchased, and wish to incorporate into my homepage. Instead of creating a page with HTML and adding the banner code as a separate object on the page, I wish to load it as an external swf into a movieclip on my stage. This is what the banner looks like:

[URL]

I have a page that I'm redesigning, it's located at:

I have a movieclip named load_banner. Inside the movieclip in its own frame, I put in the following code:

Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;

However when I test it, the images load off to the right hand side of the screen, not centered in the movie clip like I want...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Pre-loader - Load An External SWF File

Mar 12, 2009

I'm very new to flash - I'm trying to use a pre-loader that loads an external SWF file. Its working except the percentage in the bar is actually reflecting how much of the entire page is loaded, not how much of just the flash banner is loaded. The result is that the percentage bar is still visible over the top of the flash banner when it begins to play and the percentage bar continues to load until the whole page is loaded.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Apply A External Loader To Load The Swf Using LoaderMax?

Mar 11, 2012

I have a quick question. I have created a quick gallery page/swf that uses Greensock Liquid stage/area etc that re-sizes the content upon browser re-size (keeps proportion).

My problem presents itself when I apply a external loader to load the swf using LoaderMax. I'm using the code available on the site and replaced the areas with my titles - yet when I load in browser it displays very small (the size of the external loader stage), and doesn't use the liquid stage within the gallery/page swf. Any ideas as to why? Do I have to add another liquid stage to the loader swf and attach the content?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Class To Load In Multiple External SWFs?

Mar 9, 2009

In AS3 i am using the Loader class to load in multiple external SWFs (AVM1), each of which has a short animation which automatically plays when the swf is I obviously cannot control the timeline of these (i can't use local connection etc) but would like to load in the *.swf files, so they're in memory then add them to the stage when requested. the problem is that if i load them enmass. then use addChild when they are called, they have already played through and animated pre the addChild command.

(I cannot edit the swfs at all, and would rather not load them on demand at runtime)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Control The External SWF To Play It's Outro And Then Load The Next SWF?

Sep 20, 2009

It's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.

------------------------------------------------------------

I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF

homeButton_btn - home.swf
page1Button_btn - page1.swf
page2Button_btn - page2.swf

Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button. Example: When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf". Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"

My questions are: 1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.

2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.

3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?

4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.My Actionscript 3.0 code

var pageContainer:Loader;
pageContainer = new Loader();
var nextMov:String;[code].........

ActionScript 2.0 :: External Text Files Wont Load Into External Swf File?

May 28, 2007

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Loader To Load, Then Control A Swf?

Jan 29, 2008

I'm loading a swf with the AS3 Loader class. It's being done from a main.swf that has nothing but a preloader display. The content is all in the swf that I'm loading with the Loader class. It's working. But the swf's playhead seems to be already 40 or so frames down the timeline once it's displayed on the stage. So I want to tell the loaded swf to gotoAndPlay(1) after the preload is complete in the relevant handler. The handler fires, but I don't know how to access the swf in question.loader.content returns a DisplayObject and trying to talk to it with MovieClip properties throws errors. I've tried to cast it as a MovieClip based on various things I've seen via searches here and in the docs, but that's failing, too.How does one do this the "right" way?And for that matter, why has the timeline already started to play before the swf is visible on stage?

ActionScript Code:
private function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
// what can I do to take _loader.content and make it accessible for a gotoAndPlay() or some

Actionscript 3 :: Using Events In An External Swf To Load A New External Swf

I'm trying to get an external swf to load when the flv content of another external swf finishes playing.

I've only been using actiosncript 3 for about a week and I've got to this point from tutorials, so my knowledge is limited.

This is what I've got so far:

Code for External swf (with flv content):

import fl.video.VideoEvent;
motionClip.playPauseButton = player;

I'm starting to get an understanding of how all of this works, but it's all to new to me at the moment, so I'm sure I've approached it from the wrong angle.

IDE :: Preload External Swf Then Load Another External Swf On Top Of It?

Dec 17, 2009

Normally I do get by with a lot of R&D, but for some reason am stumped and really pressed for time!An interactive file (say main.swf) is already ready to go.I now need to make this play over a background (say bg.swf) which is a fairly heavy file.

What I'm trying to do it this:Open a new flash document (say "index.fla")- on the first frame, call "bg.swf" by using "loadMovie('bg.swf', 2)"[where 2 is the level number] and then calling "main.swf" by using "loadMovie('main.swf' 4)" [where 4 is the level number]

Now the problem I am facing is this:"bg.swf" is quite a heavy file so takes quite some time to load, whereas "main.swf" is much lighter and loads before "bg.swf" buffers fully.

What I want to achieve is this:Create a new swf file (say "index.swf"), making sure that "main.swf" does not load until "bg.swf" loads completely under it. Note: I cannot make any edits to "main.swf" (which is like a slideshow) file and it is rendered such that it starts the slideshow after 5 seconds.
