The rollover states of the buttons work but when one clicks on the calender it does not work and some other things dont work also. I would really like to implement this in my site. Does anyone know why this might be or if it has been answered before.

I got it to work by using loadMovieNum but then lost placement of the swf it keeps going to the top left. I would really like to use loadClip it seems alot more customizable.

Actionscript 2.0 :: External Swf Preload Tutorial And Xml?

Mar 30, 2009

I am trying to load an external swf that uses an xml file. The main movie is called mySite. The external swf is gallery.xml. And it uses the file gallery.xml. It works fine as a stand alone movie. Following along with the tutorial I created a movie clip in my site on a frame to use as the stage. I call this movie clip galleryStage. Inside the galleryStage movie clip I followed the tutorial but left out the buttons portion.I am not using any..I created galleryHolder, galleryLoader, and actions layers. I created movie clips with the same names and instance names on their respective layers.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Transitions Between External Swf's Tutorial

Oct 3, 2006

Great tutorial, works excellent. My only issue is how to do this on multiple levels? I'm trying to get an external swf open within an external swf. I know this probably isn't necessary but it does keep the site easily managed and very dynamic. It works on the main swf, and if i test it on the the linked page it works as well, just not together. I orginally thought that maybe it was the conflicting container names/variables so I made sure to change those. Maybe the solution would be to use a common container?

Please download my sample fla here: [URL] (note, not all linked swf's are included, just enough to get the point across. The issue is with the sub-menu within "Information").

Is there anyway of preloading those externally loaded buttons at the same time as what will eventually be the rest of the site? Either that or does anyone know a way of making buttons from Dreamweaver work in flash... when I import them they dont work and thats why I'm loading them externally.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Note On External SWF Transition Tutorial?

Jan 7, 2008

First post. I was just going through Voetsjoeba's tutorial on making transitions between external swf's [URL]..

"If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore 'container' targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path."

I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on this. That is, how the path to the container movieclip would need to be changed in this situation. Apologies if the question is too vague.

AS2 :: Flash Preloading External Swfs

Apr 15, 2011

I've found this bit of code and it works for preloading my single 'Q1.swf' in an old AS2 project I did a while back. How do I adapt it to preload 5 swf's? Can I load them all to the same target mc or do I have to load them on separate levels or to different targets.I don't want to change the project to AS3 as the budget doesn't allow. Also will this work when the project is viewed from a CD as well as online?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading All External Images First?

Jul 9, 2009

i have a preloader working. except i want to be able to load external images fully first, before the preloader stops. currently the preloader loads everything except the external images, and then everything else starts (but behind the scenes the external images haven't loaded yet and this is annoying!)... how can have the preloader continue until all assets, internal and external, are fully loaded?

ps, i don't want to give each image an individual preloader! i need them all there when the thing starts.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading External Swf In Background?

Jun 1, 2010

I need to preload an external swf in my file - but I don't want a preloader bar or count or anything - I simply want it to perform in the background - and if done proceed to a certain frame. I've been googling preloaders for a bit now and they all have the bars and percentage count - and I couldn't seem to customize it.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloading External Images From XML?

Jul 17, 2008

I'm having a problem preloading external images from an XML file in AS3. It's a scrolling image gallery and everything loads fine, but I can't figure out how to preload the images (all I've been able to do is preload the actual .xml file, which is useless to preload a 10k file). The thumbs skip, the big pics pause, etc.

I'm moderate in AS2 and decided to do this project in AS3(doh), and it's been painful;

Here's my code:

Code: Select allimport flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;

So how could I preloading external swf in a certain order?

I want the code to say : First import the text and then the picture with minimum coding of course.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading The External SWFs?

Apr 5, 2007

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 know how to make a preloader for each individual image using this function:[code]However for this particular project it does not matter when each individual image is loaded, but rather I need to know when the whole lot is done.it could be that Im using the wrong approach and maybe I can solve this with some kind of a onLoad(success) type function on the xml part of the code.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading External Swfs?

Jan 10, 2008

i'm having a problem with using a preloader to load external swfs into my movie. the swfs are loaded into my movie using "holder.loadMovie(movies[k])", where movies is the array i'm using to reference the movies i want to load. the problem is that the movies being loaded using this method are not being preloaded correctly. in my preload function, the percent variable that i'm using is constantly at 100% no matter how large the external swfs are. even when i try placing "trace(holder.getBytesLoaded()/holder.getBytesTotal())" into my enterframe function, the value always traces to 1, meaning that everything has been fully loaded. i have also tried using the debug options to change the speed of the load to simulate a slower speed, but still, it made no difference.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading External Files?

May 29, 2008

I'm an audiovisual interactive design student on a school that's screwed up. We work projectbased and this particular project requires a lot of flashstuff. But, we don't get taught anything by our teachers and we're supposed to find out ourselves once we need something with google and the likes. I wonder what I'm paying my schoolfunds for..Anyway! I'm working on my last project this year and it's an interactive DVD for our yearbook. On this dvd, several projects of students is displayed.

I've made a root.exe projector file that's small on size and only displays a picture, some audio and a button that activates another .swf with an animation to the next screen. I load this one with the loadMovieNum command. After this animation, it will load a new .swf (again loadMovieNum, and in the new one unloading the layer below it) with many active buttons and animations.. it's the biggest .swf I have and I don't think I can split it up.Locally.. everything works just fine with hardly any pauses between the files loading.When I test it on a dvd though, the wait time is about 5 seconds and flash seems to be freezing. This is because of the lack of a preloader and reading speeds of a dvdr driveI've been looking around for preloading external files and I've read alot about them.. and tried alot too, but I can't seem to get it to work. I believe it's because I'm using loadMovieNum instead of loadMovie. I tried changing the way it's reading containers to levels, but that doesn't seem to work.

IDE :: Preloading For External SWF Without Moving To The Second Frame

Jun 30, 2008

I have a main movie (main.swf) that has an empty movieclip that calls for an external swf that we'll call imageclip1.swf. Now, I have a preloader set up in the imageclip1.swf, however, it doesn't want to move to the second frame after it's loaded when it's loaded into the main.swf. It works fine when I test it by itself. The actionscript (AS2) in the first frame imageclip1.swf:

[Code]...

What ends up happening is that it moves to frame 2 in main.swf. So I don't know what the problem is. I've tried every target scheme I could think of (_root, level0, this). I'm pretty green when comes to AS, Also, what would be the correct way to access the different hierarchies (i.e main.swf from imageclip1.swf)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: External FLV As Background Preloading?

Apr 15, 2010

So I have a video that is actually the background of the website. The video is resizing proportionally when user resizes the browser. The AS3 code is written on base of FLV component. The sound is also external mp3 imported with AS3 code. These are the facts and it works.Now the problem: The preloader calculates only the bytes of the movie including mp3, but doesn't calculate the bytes of external FLV, which makes the the movie and the mp3 play before the FLV video starts playing. It makes a gap and it don't look good at all.
