If you click topic1 I want topic1.swf to load, click topic2 to load topic2.swf etc. What I am doing wrong with var url:String = "topic"[i]+".swf";?
[Code]...
what want to make is let people submit a URL and then show the image on the stage ..
so i went an wrote my code but it doesn't work as i expected .. here is the code
var myurl:String ; // a var to load the text in it
var reques:URLRequest = new URLRequest (myurl) ; // the urlrequest (i know that this only accept strings but what to do !!)
var loader:Loader = new Loader(); // the loader
[Code]....
I am using new URLRequest to load a page. I cannot seem to get it to load in the current page rather than create a new page. Here is my code;
Actionscript Code:
home.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e){ navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://www.site.com/page.html') ); } );
Is there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??
I've decided to take the jump to AS3 now but im having a lot of issues... Im trying to load an external swf into a movieclip.
In AS2 it would be:
PHP Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("mainLoader.swf","externalLoader_mc");
[Code].....
How can i load the URLRequest into an actual movieclip as i have done in AS2? As far as i know the load function only accepts one variable. ATM the external swf im loading is just going into thin air and i can't get anything to happen (i have the functions created to deal with the events btw).
Edit: Just fixed it by adding externalLoader_mc.addChild(myLoader);
there you are, you set up your AS3 code to load XML via a URLLoader and URLRequest, as normal. You then take your XML file, and upload it to a server. You then run your program, and trace out the XML you receive. So far so great, and you see the results of your XML traced out. Then you change something on your XML, either adding to it or removing a line. You then run your program again from CS5.5, and trace out the XML, and it shows the same results that it did before you made any changes. I deleted the XML file from the remote server, and it is like it stored it in cache, and still able to read it. If I change the url or file name, it gives me an error, which it should.
If I point the url back to my remote XML file, and run the program again, it gives me the XML results I had in the beginning, before I made any changes to it (regardless if the XML file exists). The only fix I have found so far, is closing CS5.5, and reopening, and then it can see the changes. I did that, and it was able to see my XML changes on my remote server, but again, only one time. If I try to change anything, or delete the XML file, it still pretends as if its there, reading the results that it read the first time I run the program. Is this a cache issue? Anybody else experience this? I never remember running into this problem using CS5/CS4/CS3, only CS5.5. Of course, I can test it all locally first, and then upload the XML file to the remote server when I know that no other changes need to be made, but still, this is really weird!
I have made a XMLloader with URLrequest, and it works locally by calling the file directly by its name ie. "myFile.swf". var presLoader:Loader = new Loader(); presLoader.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf")); addChild(presLoader);
But when I uploaded the loader to the server, I have no file, only "URL not found"-error. So I found out that I should change to URL to "/Files/Images/subloader/myFile.swf" then it will load. But thats a real problem, because I have several loaders.
how do I stop the preloader to LOAD an item when I click in another item to load.. Is that possible? Here in my example the preloader runs perfect, but when I start another mouseevent CLICK the old loading still active (on BANDWIDTH PROFILER, but the Preloader Movie Clip is removed).. How Do I stop the event when another different loading starts?Not visual aspect but functional.
View 1 RepliesIm building a flash banner that takes dynamic xml data from another domain and displays them as links. To make the swf reload the xml (the xml links change all the time) every time Internet explorer is updated (instead of loading from the cache) I added +new Date().time to my URLrequest, and suddenly the links takes 9 seconds to display. Firefox doesnt have the cache problem and without the +new Date().time it displays the updated links almost instantaneously. Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?? a 9 seconds loadtime is too long.
Here is the first parts of my code:
__________________________________________________ ____________
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
//en trace variabel til hover state. Fjern da ogs� variablen de steder den benyttes.
var hover:Boolean;
[code]....
After that I use the linkList to dynamically create the links as textfields, with some formatting, hoverstate, linebreaks etc.
only thing I changed was adding the +new Date().time, and it displays the links so slow.
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("panghat spa.swf"));
addChild(loader);
want to load panghat spa.swf as a variable by pasing variable from html page in to flash
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
View 2 RepliesI'm loading a background into a background container with the following code:
loadMovie("backgrounds/bkg_wht.swf",bgContainer);
I'd like it to load in a 4 second alpha fading load instead of just a hard load. Any ideas what code I need to write?
Attached is an idea where I want the viewer to click on the box and the corresponding flv (swf) will load into the box with a preloader?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the following section of AS:
onClipEvent (load) {
//sets up a sound object, loads the .mp3 file and starts the sound.
this.faTrack = new Sound();
[Code].....
You do not need to import the sound file into Flash. You just have to make sure
that the .mp3 file is in the same directory as the .swf file. You should also make
sure that the .mp3 file is named the same as faFile in the FlashAmp .txt file.
The benefits of this method are that the .mp3 file only downloads if the user gets
to the bit in your Flash file where you call it. It also plays as it streams although there will be a slight delay as it buffers (FlashAmp will take account of this delay as the arrays are based on the position of the sound).
i wanted to load a random swf into a mc, as ever things have changed and I now want to load a random mc from my libary into a mc when a button is clicked.

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.
I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.
I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.

View 2 RepliesI'm using a test file so I can see how a full website is going to work. I've got 5 layers:Background, title, menu, main contents, Actions.I have an empty movieclip that I call "contents-main". And it is placed in the proper location.On Frame 1 of the Actions panel, I have loadMovie("760-250-main.swf", "contents-main"); This works fine and loads the movie into the empty clip.On the menu layer, I have a button. What I want to do is click on that button and havea different movie load into the movieclip called "contents-main". I have tried everything on the tutorials that I can find and nothing will work.I also tried putting different variations and also putting the unloadMovie before loadMovie statement.
