I'm using this after my file has preloaded the swf: mcLoader.loadClip("sceneAll_1.swf", holder_mc);
what I want to do is set sceneAll_1.swf inside holder_mc to _x = -500 _y -250 to get it in the center of holder_mc than the default 0,0. I tried the usual technique with attachMovie but it didn't work for this.
I'm using Loader to load an external swf into my swf and adding that loaded swf to the stage using event.target.content.If i set the width and height of the loaded swf I actually resize the movieclip inside my loaded swf. What I wanna do is change the stage size of the loaded swf.

Inside onDeviceLoadComplete i want to be able to set the instance name of the loaded swf. Can i send extra parameters to the event handler function?
I am trying to load an external swf (which, come to find out, does not include the background color of the loaded swf) into a movieclip. It seems to be pretty easy. But the movieclip I am loading it into is smaller than the swf I am loading. Is there a way to specify size parameters? In other words, is there a way to scale the swf down so that it fits into the movieclip?

i'll be straight to point,well i'm now working on a project using action script 3 now what i'm trying to make is a Main SWF that load whatever other swf into it the tricky thing is that i used 1 xml document read the external swf source and it's setting(such as it's x,y position and it's width and height) and i'm having problem setting the loaded swf width and height btw it's an desktop application and not a website application.,

I have read this article about abstracting assets from actionscript:But it requires to set the Linkage Class name. How can I get the same result without setting the linkage class name?What I want to do is to cache a loaded asset, and use the cached version every time I request the same URL. A solution is to clone the loaded DisplayObject, but I think it's unnecessary since I only want a new copy.

Is there a way to set the tab index on a button loaded (addChild method) from the library? Granted, you can easily add the tab index to the same button if it's on the stage, but I see no way to add it to the button if it's just chilling in the library..

View 4 RepliesIm working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

I'm loading an external .swf files for my site.
ActionScript Code:
function whattoload( eye:Number){
var ld:Loader = new Loader()[code]............
This works perfect for loading the said .swf and displaying it on my flash program. However I have a next button which When clicked I want it to increment so that It picks a new swift from the array.
ActionScript Code:
var swiftI:Number = 0;
var maxI:Number = 3;[code]...........
This also works well for my desired effects. However I need to remove the previous loaded .swf before the next one is loaded. How do I do this?When I try to use removeChild(ld); It doesn't work.
I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
I'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons
for (j=1; j<holderArray.length; j++) {

I have a "photo" gallery that loads numerous SWFs through xml, one by one on click. All works fine. All my SWF work fine stand alone. But when I load them into the player, many swf dont work properly.in example, I have textinput textfields in many of the swfs, which work fine on their own but not when loaded into the player. Then I have a word search game that works fine when alone, not when in player. I can see there is something as my mouse cursor changes into the "button finger", but nothing visual.
All drag and drop assigments work fine etc. I have no idea whats up. I have receantly switched to as3 and in as2 there was _lockroot declaration that solved similar problems, but now in as3 (where it supposedly should be automatic) it doesnt work. As it seems that it cannot recognise it own stage value, or selection_focus when loadedinside another swf through xml.Using cs4, as3.
I have my main swf (swf1), that loads another swf(swf2). At some point, swf2 loads an external image. What's the best way for swf1 to align the loaded image from swf2??

In there, I have all my classes that I want to reuse. what do I do next? I'm using Flash CS3, would also be useful to know how to do the same in Flex Builder 3.
What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

I've read about 15 threads on this topic, my apologies for another, but am still stuck. I have loaded a .swf into a mc, placed it, scaled it and it works fine. Now I need to mask it with setMask(). I read that the .swf must be fully loaded to mask it and am having trouble with this part. I tried 'onLoaded' and a couple of other ways with no success. Here's my code:

I've been successful to load a external swf using the loader. Lesson_mc is a movieclip I have on stage that I am loading the external swf. I have some masking that is there, that is why the movieclip. myLoader is a Load object. I can find the swf loaded using the debugger and see the currentLabel and Frame but when I try to get the information it sends a DisplayObject error. I have a Menu in the Main Window that controld the navigation. Getting to the frame on the first click works but trying to go to a frame within the same sef does not. Any thoughts?
myRequest = new URLRequest("overview09.swf");
myLoader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(myRequest);
