ActionScript 3 :: Unload Child SWF On Last Frame Without Using Button
Nov 6, 2010
Using AS3. I have in my code a button to stop and remove the swf, but I would like to have in addition to unload a child swf when it plays it's last frame automatically - not using a button.
Here is my code on the main timeline:
var loader:Loader;
var closer:close;
norton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NortonDemo);
function NortonDemo(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
Now, what do I need to add or change to this code and add to the code on the last frame of NortonDemo to accomplish what I want to do?

I have a flash page where I am loading another .swf into. With a button in the loaded swf I need to unload the loaded swf (where the button is) and navigate to a specific frame label in the parent .swf. I've tried to do the following in the key frame where the swf get loaded into I've put the following:
var gallery_load_wonderland:Loader = new Loader();
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, loop_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, done_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.load(new URLRequest("gallery_wonderland.swf"));
function loop_wonderland(e:ProgressEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I basically want to first load the swf called "gallery_wonderland.swf". Then in the "gallery_wonderland.swf" there's a button called "contact03_btn"¯ which I want to unload "gallery_wonderland.swf" even though it's inside the swf and navigate to the frame label called "Contact" in the parent swf.
What can I do I've done similar before and it works, but when I do it know and I click the contact03_btn it comes with following error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@26215ba1 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at gallery_wonderland_fla::MainTimeline/back_wonderland()[gallery_wonder land_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:227]

i successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.

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 wanted to create a portfolio in flash, so I designed the layout in photoshop, with different webpages in different groups. So groups i created: home, about, porfolio, contact, affiliates, topbar, menu.I use Creative Suite 3 or CS3I then imported the groups into flash as movieclips, using the import to stage function. here is the image of the main scene in the flash. (SEE IMAGE 1st thumbnail)I created a new layer on top of all the layers and used labels at equal intervals to differentiate between pages.here's the image depicting the same.(SEE IMAGE 2nd thumbnail)Now in the home movie clip, i made all the text layers as movie clips to make button animations and assigned sounds and actions to them i.e. rollver, rollout andclick events. here's the swf.(PM ME FOR SWF)I want to know the code or method to load the frame labelled ''about'' in the main scene when i click on the movieclip button 'about' which is in the movieclip 'home'. Here's the code i tried for the first 'about' button, but it returns error "1120: Access of undefined property event."
code:

var OverSound:roll_over = new roll_over();

I have a parent SWF into which I load a child SWF. I want to have a close button in the Child SWF (not the parent!) which closes/unloads it from the parent swf. Been looking all over but can't find any solutions that work.Here's my code for loading the child SWF from the parent's timeline:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("child.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);[code]...
What should I put in the child SWF to unload itself?

Experience: I'm a newbie to AS3 - making the transition from AS2. Problem: I have a parent SWF into which I load a child SWF.

What should I put in the child SWF to unload itself? Apologies if this presumably simple task has been covered, please point me to the thread.

Parent swf has a button to load Child swf and Child swf has a button to unload itself through a dispatchEvent. Both in respective document classes. Parent loads Child fine... Child can't remove itself! Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong here? Or another way to go about this? Struggling for a day now...
Parent swf:
public var myLoader:Loader;
loadButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadSWF)

I'm loading a movie in externally. The external movie has a button to unload itself from the main movie. It loads into _root.calContainer. The button is called xButton. This is the script that's not working:
_this.xButton.onRelease = function() {
_global.calContainer.unloadMovie;
}
I've also tried. _root.calContainer to no avail.

I am building an on-line game for autistic children, and I am facing a problem where I load a SWF to play a mini game. Although when the mini game is over I want to go back to the original SWF (and a different scene to which I left.)
I use:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("hidenseek.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
stop();
To load the swf, although I can't figure out how to unload it on a frame, and then on top of that take it back to original SWF to a new menu?
A work around could be to just have the new menu in the loaded SWF? Could I unload the original SWF or do I have to always keep it open?

I have the following code on a frame label called "allemande" (frame 890). The first part loads a swf when I click a button called "allemande" that sends me to this frame. This part works correctly.
The second part is code that sends the timeline to the "home" frame label when I click the "home" button. This works OK too.
I would like to insert code that will unload the "allemande_slideshow" swf when I click the "home" button to go back to the "home" frame label.[code]..

I have tried several suggestions on this forum to resolve my issue, but it is obvious to me I am missing something because I am a NOVICE Flash developer. I have everything working in my Flash file EXCEPT I want to use this code to play a .swf file. When the swf file is done playing OR the user clicks the return to Main Menu button¯, they return to frame 1.[code]The .swf file plays and when I click Return to the Main Menu button, only certain items display from frame 1. The .swf file is still loaded hiding the items that should display on frame 1. I have attached a screen shot of what happens when I click the "Return to Main Menu" button.

I got my swfs to load on my web page. I have masked them once loaded. When I play one (click button) then jump to a different page (different frame) everything works fine. But, when I play one and then click another to play and then go to a different page, the mask seems to stay on screen (I am getting a white box in the mask area).
I want to eventually load all my swfs and mask them with their corresponding buttons and then jump to other pages (frames) on my website. I just can't seem to get rid of these boxes (masks).
Here is my code......
var Xpos: Number = 260;
var Ypos: Number = 80;
var swf: MovieClip;
var loader: Loader = new Loader ();

I have a Flash animation that loads a quick animation and then on a button click loads and external swf while at the same time moves the playhead on the timeline to frame 2 so that it has a blank stage to play on. The external swf then loads and plays. At the end of the external swf's animation I would like it to unload and then return to frame one of the containing movie. I am assuming that on the last frame of the external swf I should be putting some actionscript that will unload the movie and then talk to the initial containing flash telling it to return to frame 1.
The main swf button that loads the external swf is using a code snippet from the AS3 CS5 library and looks like this...
[Code]....
It is also using gotoAndStop(2); for the same button.
So to unload the external swf and return would I use something like... this.unload(gotoAndStop(1));
