Actionscript 3.0 :: External SWF Button To Load The Main Timeframe?
Aug 24, 2009
I am building a flash site and I am trying to load all of my swf file into one (final) fla file. This is the code for loading one of them in:
// ActionScript 3.0
stop();
var movie1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mainpage.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader()
ldr.load(movie1);
addChild(ldr);
So this mainpage.swf file has a button with instance name of btnContact which I would like to add an event Listerner to it here in the (final fla) so when I click it, it jumps to the frame "one" on the final timeframe.
So basically, controling the main timeframe though using a button on an external swf file.

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I am loading swfs into a movie clip. However, the contact button is not a loaded swf any longer. It's in the main flash page. This is what I want to do. All the buttons load the external swfs except when I click on the contact button that is in the main flash page. I need to get the other buttons to load after I click the contact flash button. Below is the code for the contact button and the one under for one of the other buttons.

I Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?

I'm using the following code to load an external SWF into my main SWF. The code is called inside of a button function. The code works TOO well. The external SWF loads multiple times on top of each other.
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();ldr.load(new URLRequest("portfolio.swf"));
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded, false, 0, true);function onLoaded(evt:Event):void { addChild(evt.target.content); evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);}
To see the mess go to:[URL] hit the "web" button.

i'm trying to load external swf in my main swf. when I click first time in first frame on object(movieClip) which has event handler gotoJob, the jobfair.swf will load and it works. But I have on the stage in first frame also another objects - movieClips. If I click on some movieclip, than it means to go to nextFrame. But when I return to first frame, where is also object with click handler gotoJob and I click on it, it does not load the swf.
Code:
function gotoJob(evt:Event):void{
var requestSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("jobfair.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

In the current flash project im working on I load an external .swf into the main .swf, the external .swf contains sound loops and movieclips which they are attached to. In the main .swf there are buttons which trigger the sounds to stop and start.the problem im having is that the sounds wont play when the button is pressed, when everything is in one file it all works fine, so i believe the problem is to do with the reference to the external file.

The main site (index.swf) had an image slideshow style gallery displayed prominently across the entire site - i.e it never changed while the rest of the site did. That is gone, but in its place is an external .swf (video.swf) which is a video player to stream flv video via php. convoluted, no?
Now, I got the php streaming player from FlashGuru [URL] and it works beautifully. I added in a button for full screen toggle, and that was a cinch - two lines of AS and editing the html and I was done. I tested it as a standalone swf file, and it streams wonderfully, goes full screen with ease...perfect more or less. See it at [URL]
Then I load the video.swf movie into the index.swf movie, and when I click the full screen button, the main root (index.swf) goes full screen. The problem is that I want only the video (video.swf) to go full screen - without reloading or restarting the streaming video.
I currently have the files up at [URL] to see the swf files in action; would post the .fla files here but since the template was purchased I can't post it, and the video player is basically stock other than the full screen switch. What the heck, I'll post it here just in case...
{also, a side note; I do plan on having multiple videos to load - I currently plan to use different .swf files for each one, but if I could just pass a variable from the main (index.swf) to the other (video.swf), it would save a bit of HD space on my server.

I'm trying to get a swf file to play in a main swf file. I can get it to play, but it always appears in the top left corner. I've tried several different methods to position it but every one of them either doesn't work or won't play the file.Here's what I'm using right now.
Actionscript Code:
stop();loadMovieNum("circles.swf", 1);var xset = 381;var yset = 179;
The swf plays just fine, but it won't take the coordinates.I also need to get it to stop when I go back and the command
Actionscript Code:
unloadMovieNum(circles.swf);
doesn't work.A tutor in my class showed me a method to place the swf into a box on the main stage without doing a lot of scripting, just putting in some file-name and size/position references, but he's not available right now to ask how he got that started.

I am trying to load external swf files in a main movie.I have created 3 different movies. Main movie is named "Container". Another 2 movies are named "movie1.swf" and "movie2.swf".Main movie "Container" is having some navigation buttons and template sort of thing in it. On the lowest layer in main movie I have created an empty movie clip in which I am trying to load "movie1.swf".Now problem is when I load "movie1.swf" instead of loading the external movie in target mc, it clears all the contents in main movie.

I have two external swf files which I need to load to the main page of the website, one is the about page which consist mostly of text, the other is an image gallery.Both of them have the same intro animation at the beginning.
My problem is, while testing the main page using bandwidth profiler, the about page loads beautifully, while the image gallery plays its animation first before it even finalizes to load the whole page.

I load external swf file into main movie. and i give that child a name page0 there is a bit of code.
[Code]....
so after its loaded i want to insert some text into external swf using main movie. i managed to remove external swf, like this ActionScript Code: holder_mc0.removeChild(holder_mc0.getChildByName("pages0")); but i wonder how to insert text into that swf. i don't understand how hierarchy works, when you addChild, what name should i use for my external files. for example ActionScript Code: holder_mc0. ?????? .mainTemplate.tContent.text = "TEXT"

When I click on another button, it will replace the previous .swf.I have it working, but the code is sloppy, .Also, within cleaning up the code, is there a better way to load the first external .swf when the main movie loads?
Code:

[code]What I'm trying to do is load an external movie into my main flash site, but I want the main flash site to wait till the movie is loaded then the main time line starts to play again. I would told that the onClipEven(data) would give me this option. So I thought I said that when it's loaded go and play frame 6 of the main time line.My external movie works fine, and it has a preloader, just want the main timeline to wait till that movie is loaded to start to play again

Been trying to load my main SWF through my external preloader, however no mater what i do I'm getting this: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.text.engine::FontDescription could not be found. Could this be due to TLF embedded fonts or things being loaded on the first frame of my main site?

I have created an interactive atlas. I am using my favorite map zooming and panning tools supplied by Senocular which can be found here: [URL] For the panning/zooming/drawBox tool to work the map features must be buried deep within several movieclips. There is one level at which you can put buttons that aren't effected by the code for the panning/zooming etc. Buttons have to go on this level or higher if you want them to work.
The way my atlas is set up - there is a main interface that has these tools plus the menu system. The menu (xml; created by Lost and Sen - brilliant) loads in two external swfs - one is the map itself and the other is a set of "controls" for that particular map (radio buttons, check boxes, text links, etc.).
Okay so here is my problem. I have a couple of external swfs that have buttons on them that do things when you roll over and off them. If I have these buttons sitting on the map then when it gets loaded into the main interface they no longer work. So I am trying to use attachMovie to attach them to an MC within the zooming tools in the main interface at a level they can be active (oh god I hope that makes sense). But it's not working.
I am guessing it's because the code to attach them is being fired before the external can be loaded into the interface. So I'm not really sure where to fire the attachMovie code. Does it go with the external? Does it go with the controls for the external?

I am trying to get an instance of a class to the load an external swf and show it.So far I have the following:
1) I wrote a class that uses the Loader class to load an external swf "loadExtSWF".
2) I have a fla named "MainSWF.fla" that uses a document class "MainSWF.as".
3) I have the MainSWF.as file that instances "loadExtSWF" and calls loadExtSWF.startLoad to load the swf.
This almost works. The instance of loadExtSWF loads the external swf, but the swf is not displayed.If I replace the fla's document class with loadExtSWF (this has an empty constructor) instead of MainSWF, and run loadExtSWF.startLoad, then the external swf is loaded and displayed.[code]
