Actionscript 3.0 :: Loader Class Not Visually Showing Loaded Object On Stage?
Jan 23, 2009
I have this code in a class:
Code: Select allpackage com.jhoyt{
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;[code]....
and I have this code on the timeline of the movie its being loaded into:
Code: Select allimport com.jhoyt.SSIlaunch;
var ssi:SSIlaunch = new SSIlaunch();
addChild(ssi);
I know its loading because I can put trace actions into the addAndPoint function and it gets called. what can I do to make it display?

I have some class that I created visually in Flash Professional CS5 by transferring drawn result into a MovieClip and extorting symbol into AS code. Now, I want to add some properties to the class. To be more specific, I've created Ball class and want to add to it variables that will represent vertical and horizontal speeds. How can I edit the class in order to do it? Also, when I wanted to add some visible external element to the class, at first I decided to add MovieClip property in the code itself, but then recalled method .addChild() that worked perfectly for me. Now, I can't do the same with non-visible properties. So, what is the difference between adding visible elements using .addChild() and adding them in the code itself?

I loaded 5 JPG's into specific locations of an array via the URLRequest. So now when I trace my array:
[Code]...
THE PROBLEM: when I scan getXMLlinksArray and see that its NOT null, and i try to addChil to xmlImgHolder and then to spriteHolderArray, I just get a blank space. The debuger is showing that spriteHolderArray contains some loader info and the appropriate URL up until I load it with the existing loader from getXMLlinksArray. Then it says it doesn't have any conentedLoadedInfo.

I have a site loading a large number of thumbs and even a video at the top. Every once in a while the loader object gets stuck. I have an EVENT.COMPLETE on it and it doesn't appear to get called.
Any help? This appears to happen primarily on the first time loading. I am using Safari on Mac for the browser as well, if this makes a difference

I have two SWFs: a Loader SWF, and a Loaded SWF. I need to add the Loaded SWF to the display hierarchy, but I don't want to give it free access to the stage. It may, for instance, attempt to change the scaleMode, and I don't want that to happen. What are some good methods for restricting loaded content's access to the stage? I may, for instance, want to allow it to access the stageWidth and stageHeight, but not the scaleMode or align.
Additional Constraints. I can't change anything about the Loaded SWF. Both SWFs are in the local-with-file-system sandbox. These SWFs are both Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3, made in Flash Professional. Not AIR, not Flex. I'd love to be able to implement a proxy class or a getter to somehow intercept calls to the stage, but I don't believe there is any way to.
I don't believe, for example, that you can subclass the Stage class and use that subclass in place of the normal Stage object referenced by the stage property in all MovieClips. The stage property is read-only, so it can't be cross-scripted by the Loader to point to something different.

If I load an external swf:
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("abc.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
abc.swf starts playing - how do I get it to tell the main movie that it reached the end of its timeline and finished playing? Added bonus: the loaded swf is AS1 and the main movie is AS3. I'm not sure if I could convert the loaded swf to AS3.

I'm hoping to implement a preloader on a main.swf that measures the bytes etc loaded in an external.swf. My two concerns are that 1) this just isn't possible? 2) I can't have multiple preloaders on the main.swf, which I would if I used one for the external .swf. I intend to try and explain this in the best way I can what I have done so far, as I personally feel this is quite a complex task.
Here's the basics:
I have an external .swf file, being loaded, using the following Action Script (3), in what I shall call, main.swf:
//---loader---
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(swfLoader);
var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("nameofswftobeloaded.swf");
swfLoader.load(swfURL);
function loadHandler (event:Event){
var thumbsPanel:MovieClip = event.target.content;
addChild(thumbsPanel);
This works fine. The Action Script I use after this simply allows me to control the external .swf from the main .swf so isn't necessary.. I finish the loader, with this:
"swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);"
So, this all works fine. However, as the external .swf contains images, it doesn't load instantly. I therefore need some kind of preloader to show how much of the external .swf is loaded. However, I tried placing this in the external .swf itself and it failed miserably - for some reason it basically didn't preload and the completed phase of the preloader just appeared.

I'm having troubles accessing the data loaded by external class.[code]...
Now, I want to create another external class (called MainMenu) that will be initiated from the Main class.This class should create the menu based on the loaded XML class.
My question is, how can I make use of the loaded XML content via XMLLoader class within the MainMenu class?

I have a Main.fla (with Main.as as document class) that calls the external SWF (which has its own document class too)
ActionScript Code:
function startLoad() {
mLoader = new Loader();
[Code]....
Another question. Is it possible to do some kind of listener? Example, I call this external swf, and if the user press a button inside this external swf, this button triggers the listener on the Main.as? Something like running an external mini game, and wait for the results/hiscore.

I have a problem with my New Loader class I use as3 and buttons to load external files into into my main swf file and I resize the external files to match my stage but they always load from the top left at x=0 y=0 The action script i use is
var swfHolder = new Loader();
mybutton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOW N, mousedownpresser);
function mousedownpresser(event:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(swfHolder)
swfHolder.load(new URLRequest("myvideo.swf"));
Is there any way I can load the external files into a different position?

I know using the UI loader when I needed to remove from the stage I used
MovieClip(loaderVideoGallery.content).flvPlayer.stop()
this time I need to remove a loader class event loader from the stage[URL]... The scenerio is I have 5 externally loaded .swfs that load on different frames on the timeline. When one is playing and another button event listener is clicked the previous video remains on stage. This happens when I go anywhere else in the timeline so I would think I need (removeChild)
Wouldn't this have to go in every button listener? If I went from a frame that loads an swf to the the frame that displays the homepage where text is in the place of where the swf was I would need to always have the remove Child event in all other button event listeners am I correct?

I have to implement a menu with icons using actionscript only. I create a data provider from XML and set
menu = Menu.createMenu(null, dataArray, true);
menu.iconFunction = iconFunction;
Till here everything is fine and my menu is presented, but only with labels.
I create iconFunction as following:
private function iconFunction(item:Object):Class
{
var st:Loader = new Loader();
st.load(new URLRequest(item.icon));
return ?;
}
how do I return my loader object as Class?

I created a button class with a method that will allow me to control an external SWF. However, the loader for the SWF is created on my main timeline. Is it possible to access the loader object from within my button class?No matter what I try I either get an error that the variable is not defined (rightfully so because I haven't defined it in the class, it's defined on the main timeline) or that the object is null (when I declare the loader from within the class, which I know is wrong as well)

Using ActionScript can I do with my game, which is running in a browser, verify that the user already has the files needed to run the game installed on your computer? If he had these files do not need anything else that was born and can play the game immediately. If he did not have the files, they would be loaded so that the browser does not erase these files. So when he returned to play the same game day after,as the files already on your computer, nothing need be loaded.How do I remove one of the main memory image that was loaded using the Loader class? I tried using the unload () method but nothing happened.

I want to move my multiple externally loaded images a little each time they are added to the stage along the x axis via the Loader class. It all works - But HOW do I access the added graphic synatically, so i can change its x pos?! Ive tried picLoader.x ... but that's the Loader - NOT the image...??
Code:
private function setPics():void

I have a class (ImageLoader) that extends Sprite container and loads an external image to its instance. When i instantiate an object of this class from another (Main) class i want to have the dimensions (width, height) of the loaded image being known to this (Main) class. It seems that is difficult for me as the dimensions are known after the image compete loaded. But i don't know how to pass this information from completeHandler event handler to the Main class.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

Here is my problem (unfortunatelly didn't find solution @google):I'm loading external swf[AS2] into main swf[AS3] using Loader class. The main swf is 800 x 600 and the external swf is 300 x 200.After adding the external swf to the main swf the external swf expands it's size from 300 x 200 to the main swf's size: 800 x 600.

I am really pulling my hair out with this one. Flash game, container swf loads a img using the loader class. The image is the map which will be used on the levels. The problem im having is that I originaly had each level load the map image, convert to a bitmap, and us it to create x and y's for colision detection.
the problem was that the game was loading and sometimes the map image hadent loaded. It also ment that each level was loading the same image and if the above happened on the 3rd, 4th level it was very annoying. So I need a way to load the image in the parent, but have it available to the child, however it must be available as at bitmap to work.

I have created a class, call it Class1, that has various objects drawn on the stage (drawn in the IDE). It also has a function, called setColour, for changing the colour of those objects. The function works fine if I call it from within Class1.
Now I have another class, call it testClass1, that imports Class1 and calls the setColour function. First of all, none of the stage objects from Class1 are visible. Secondly, when setColour tries to modify the colour of an object, I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is the code for testClass1:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
[Code].....
So, what is the problem? Is it possible to change objects that are drawn on the stage of an imported class?

The following is that long only because I gave examples of what I want to know, not because it is complex .I have three basic questions regarding AS 3.0 classes.
1. How can I make a class object interact with an object on stage?
For example, when I have a square (mc_Square) with class "square" attached to it and I want it to trace "Colliding!" and print the X and Y of the mc_Box on contact with an on-stage *hollow* box (mc_Box) that has no class attached to it.how to do it vice-versa would also be awesome .
2. How can I make a class object interact with the same class object? For example, when I have two squares (mc_Square) that both have the class "square" attached to it and when they collide, it prints the X and Y of both of them.
3. How can I make a class object interact with a different class object?
For example, when I have two squares mc_Square1 with class "square1 (that also has a variable Primary=true written in it)" and a mc_Square2 with class "square2"; When they collide, the one with Primary=true would be removed and it's X,Y position traced.

I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

I'm using flashDevelop for an avatar creation engine. I have a movieclip(class) called body_view which is structures like this : body_view -> 10 visual body components -> each component needs to have a jpeg loaded Then there is a body_model class which is extended from the body_view class and is responsible for all loads/saves/interactions now body_model class is as follows: body_models -> variables holding (values) -> populateView (function)
Now through the populateView function I need to populate the components of body_view but the issue is if I load a jpeg/swf on a function it comes on stage. I do not want it on stage I want it in its perticular place in the body_view
