ActionScript 1/2 :: Preload External Swfs While Playing Main?
Jul 24, 2009I have made a presentation in flash AS2. I have a main.swf and 14external .swf files and each has its own preloader.
I want that when main.swf plays, the external swf should starts preloading sequentially so that the presentation will run smoothly.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload External Swfs In Mc?
Oct 27, 2005i'm trying to preload 5 external swfs into an MC outside the stage area, one right after the other, and when one is finished loading into that clip, the next one replaces that one and starts loading in that same MC. that way they will all already have been preloaded once they are needed by the user. the main thing is that once a swf is finished loading, it needs to be removed and the new one take it's place and start loading. (i've noticed that having multiple external swfs on the stage at the same time slows down the main movie.)
currently, each external swf has a preloader and some code that tells it to check if the movie has been preloaded or not. if it's already preloaded, it skips the preloader and goes right to the start of the movie. if it hasn't been preloaded, it goes through the preloader sequence. my hope is that by preloading all the swfs before off the stage, when they are needed no preloaders will have to be shown, the swfs would just start.
right now the way i'm doing it is that on the five nav buttons, i have on release code that tells it to load the needed external swf (external1.swf) on the viewable stage on maincontainer_mc, and to load the next one (external2.swf) on outsidecontainer_mc, which is off the stage. then when the user clicks the next button, that one has on release code that tells it to load external2.swf on maincontainer_mc (which was preloaded earlier) and to simultaneously load external3.swf on the unseen MC.
this works great, but while the user is reading the content on the first swf, other swfs could be getting preloaded in the background instead of just one at a time how i'm doing it now.
does anyone know of a way to load a swf and unload it when it's finished loading, and then load the next one in line, etc. on the same mc?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Preload External Swfs?
Jan 19, 2010I have my main flash file set up so on click of a nav button, an external swf file loads onto my main swf. Now, all i want to do is have a % pre-loader appear before these files land. I am confused about where to place the pre-loader (on the main file or the external swf) and does anybody have an easy way of making a pre-loader with just a %?
here is my code from my main file that calls my swf's

Aug 8, 2006Is there a way to force external SWFs to Preload
I have a main movie that uses a transition to load the external SWFs - You click the nav button it sets a variable and triggers the tranny to play. While the screen is completly covered loadMovie puts the propper SWF into place
I have a few SWFs that are just over one meg which is enough to keep them from showing up untill just after the screen is uncovered.
I'd like to preload all of the external files before the user gets to click and ruin the illusion - Is there any way to include them in the initial preload sequence or something?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload All Of The External SWFs In One Shot
Mar 28, 2005I have several SWFs built and ready for playback in a container SWF with volume controls, and next/previous/pause/play/stop controls (a-la a DVD player or VCR). This particular project is a product demo, with different scenes that you can navigate through using the on-screen "remote" or just let it play through. I need to know how to preload all of the external SWFs in one shot. I don't want to load them as the demo plays, or when they're needed. It's fairly critical that they all be loaded during one preloader sequence so that they can play seamlessly between eachother.

Sep 13, 2009Im trying to make a dynamic site banner that will load in swfs detailed in a XML file. I think the best way is to load them in separate MCs and then start the first one one it has preloaded then move to the next to preload and once the first swf has finished a piece of code tells the _root timeline to play the next... and so on.
I have got it so the container swf loads in the swfs but the preloader is not quite working and I have no idea how to get this sequential thing working especially with next/pev buttons. Currently it seems that the loader is not quite working with the first file and all files are loading in at once. I need the player to wait and load sequentially.
Following is my code and attached are the files. Please help and much appreciated.

CS3 Preload Multiple Swfs Into The Browser Memory Cache?
Feb 11, 2010Flash CS4 using AS 2.0 for this.
Here's a simple problem I am having. I have a website made up from multiple swfs. Which open up over the index swf.
What I need to do is load 4 swf files into the memory so the transition between the page loads is smooth. The swfs are only a few kb in size but the delay in loading these (1 second) makes the transitions look very untidy. Once i've clicked on every section then the flashplayer has them stored in the cache so they run smooth, is there anyway just to load these in before the start page has loaded.
here is the website [URL]

ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX] Preload Multiple .swfs In RANDOM Order?
Jan 13, 2005I've got a Flash file that displays a series of .swfs one after the other and I'm trying to figure out how to encorporate a preloader into this script that takes into account the fact that I'm randomly selecting which of those .swfs to display first.
Here's what the attached script does so far:
1. Call external XML file and put .swf path names into an array.
2. Randomly select one of those .swfs to display first.
3. Once that .swf movie has played through (each one is about 6 seconds long) --OR-- if the "next" button is clicked, load the next .swf file.
4. When we've reached the last .swf file in the list, start back at the beginning of the list.
I have looked at a BUNCH of preloader scripts but just haven't grasped actionscript enough to know how to encorporate them into my file.

Nov 13, 2010I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Swfs Not Playing In IE8
Jul 26, 2011What I have is a SWF that loads multiple smaller SWFs into an array and then uses buttons to switch between them in a movie clip container on the stage.
Everything works when I pub my main SWF and even when I run it in a browser from my desktop.
When I upload to the server and try to run it online, I run into this problem. All the SWFs load, but only the last one to load actually plays in the container. The others seem to be stuck in frame 1.
The clips have no code in them, they are simple animations. And if I change the load order, still only the last clip plays. So I know it isn't the SWFs causing the problem. I am locked into using IE 8 and the flashplayer is version 10.3.
Anyone know of any issues with IE 8 or a reason that only the last file loaded would play?
here is my code, but as I said it seems to work fine until I run it online.
Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Other Swfs From Loaded Swfs?
Aug 2, 2006Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Playing SWFs In Sequential Order
Sep 11, 2009I'm doing a flash movie in as3 where there are two or three swfs. What I want to do is play them in a sequential order, wherein when one finishes, the second one starts. The swfs are called movie1, movie2, etc. The best way is probably to use an array and load swfs into the 'overall' fla file that will play them. I use a variable called movieNum that keeps track of each movie. I am also using a Loader command which is just called loader. My loadSWF function works fine, but my eFrame function is flawed. I cannot find a way to recognize the end of the last frame of movie1.
var request:URLRequest;
var loader:Loader;
var myMovies:Array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf"];
//my movie array
var movieNum:int = 0;
//start at 0
function loadSWF():void
[Code] .....
So, two or more SWFs called movie1, movie2 etc., and having movie2 start after movie1 finishes in an overall fla.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Multiple SWFs Into Cache And Playing Them Sequentially?
May 17, 2008I've tried endlessly to make sense of the solutions that other people have posted. But I cannot seem to get any code to work my my purposes, so I decided to post my own thread.I have a main parent Flash movie that I need to load 7 exteral SWFs into. Each of the SWFs is like its own scene in a longer movie. The external files are called:
mc1.swf
mc2.swf
mc3.swf
mc4.swf
mc5.swf
mc6.swf
mc7.swf
The final parent movie should play each external SWF movie sequentially so that it appears as one combined movie (so none of the loaded SWFs are actually playing at the same time - they should only play one at a time, one after another).I want to preload mc1.swf, mc2. swf and mc3.swf into the cache before the parent movie starts playing(and I would like to include a progress bar to indicate loading status). Once those SWFs are preloaded, I would like them to start playing sequentially while the rest of the SWFs load in the background.
Basically,I have a long Flash animation that I decided to split up into several individual movies.I've using the parent movie to seamlessly string together my individual movies to give the appearance of cohesion.I have determined that I should use the MovieClipLoader Class and loadClip() to accomplish what I am trying to do.However, I have a very limited knowledge of actionscripting, so this has been a major challenge for me.
I am optimizing the parent SWF for the web, and it's important that the video plays seamlessly, so I cannot put individual preloaders onto each external SWF. They have to preload at the beginning so that when each individual SWF is called, it's already loaded and no preloader is required.

Aug 15, 2005I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.
