Actionscript 3.0 :: Make A Master File That Conforms With .as File
Jul 30, 2009
I am trying to combine 2 swf files into a "master swf." One of the swf files is a timeline animation of graphics and text, not much coding. The other is all interactive coding, written on a seperate .as file with a complex Class structure.My first attempts to combine the swf files by simply adding from the Library to the stage at particular frames was a failure and I got all sorts of error codes and broken animations. Would it make any difference to add the swf files dynamically? I guess my question is how to make a master file that conforms with my .as file and will handle the animated section. On a related note, I need code that reads for the last frame of "SWF1" and triggers the "MAIN" timeline to go to the next frame (where the "interactive" swf is waiting to do it's stuff). Oh yeah and at some point, I'll need to prepare a preloader for the whole deal.
I can't figure out how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)
var myItems:Array = new Array("swf01.swf", "swf02.swf", "swf03.swf", "swf04.swf", "swf05.swf", "swf06.swf", "swf07.swf", "swf08.swf", "swf09.swf"); var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var myListener:Object = new Object(); myMCL.addListener(myListener); myMCL.loadClip("myItems[0]", this.getNextHighestDepth());
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?
Anyone know if it is possible to keep a MASTER crossdomain policy file in a subdirectory of the domain?url...I know you can do it with a meta policy file, but I want to do it with the MASTER because without a master the meta's are ignored.I've googled this for hours and read through the official spec several times and come up with nothing. With the server I want to do this on its possible to deploy in any subdirectory except the domain root - thats just the constraints I'm under.
loading 2 external swfs into one main file using 1 preloader, I have figured out how to get the preloader to handle the correct # of bytes loaded and such but my 1st swf I want to load onto the stage is a video file and I want it as the background but I don't want it to start until after they are both (the video and main file - 2 external swfs) loaded and then I want to start the video and place it on the stage first, then place the main swf on the stage.
I can get the order right if I place them into my load complete function but then my buttons don't work on the main file.
Here is the code:
var bytesLoadedVidBG:Number = new Number();var bytesTotalVidBG:Number = new Number();var loader0:Loader = new Loader(); // load video BGvar loadedSWF0:Object;loader0.load(new
I'm trying to get text to load from my master SWF file (_level0) into an instance on level 5. In the master file all I have is one key frame and this actionscript written into it.
ActionScript Code: var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); myMCL.loadClip("preloader.swf", 5); _level5.textField1.text = "testText Field";
In the second swf (preloader.swf) all i have is on keyframe and an instance namedtextField1.Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to load the text "testText Field" into it?
I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
I have to make a project for school. It will be like a tutorial, but into an application. I already made a part of it in MXML and a bit of action script but I encountered a few problems that are over my newbie limits. So the Flex Builder 2 makes a SFW file, in the main folder of the "project". I want to make that SWF file my main executable file. I have a folder with some pics, and another folder with Action Script Files. The code lvl that I know atm is ABSOLUTE BEGINER... I don know how to make my SWF file have a specific name when I run it.Here is a picture of a training exercices that should make thing more clear:Some people told me that I should use a HexEditor and stuff. Is it ture(what u think?).
Next problem. I dont know how to make the Stage to be fix. I mean.. I dont want the stage to be resizeble. I tryed to change the stagescalemode but that wasn't it. I toke a look at the help files of Flex from the net, about the Resize action and SystemManegment, but I didn't find out what I wantend.
I'm making a game with Flash CS5.5 and exporting it to a APK file (AIR for Android).The trouble is that the APK file is really just a ZIP file, so you can extract the content and inside there is my game as a regular SWF file. Anyone can upload this to any website and play the game there.
I don't want the SWF file to work unless opened like it should, inside the APK file through Android.Is there any way to know through ActionScript 3 code if the SWF file has been extracted from the APK file and has been opened as a normal SWF file?
I want to program a Flash file in ActionScript 3 so that the user of the SWF file can make changes to the program and these changes will be automatically applied to the original FLA file without any human intervention. A new SWF file will be activated containing the changes and this is all done without human intervention. The objective is to allow the user to make changes to a SWF file and have these changes made automatically. Is this possible to do in Flash?
I have a Flash and swf file right now. I want to be able to play that file in another Flash file I'm making, the main Flash document. However, Flash CS4 cannot import other swf files.... for some unknown reason, and play it like a movie clip. I want it to play like a movie clip, which apparently can only be accomplished by using a flv file. Shouldn't I be able to make my swf or flash file into a flv file? I mean, Flash can read flv files, so why can't I export or convert to a flv file? I'm looking for free converters, but I have the Media Encoder that comes with Flash CS4. I just can't import swf or flash files! It can only make those files, it can't bring them into Media Encoder.
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
I am trying to write a class file using a .as file instead of writing code into the script tab of a .fla file.When I write stage.addChild(img); I get an error that stage is null. When I take out stage, and just write addChild(img); the code runs fine, but nothing appears on stage. Do I need to do something to set a stage active?
Is this because I don't have a Main class? My class is named after the file and I don't have a file named Main.Here is the code. As it is, it runs and I get the two trace outputs, but no graphic on my screen.
package { import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class HelloWorldImage extends Sprite { private var background:DisplayObject, foreground:DisplayObject; private var url:String = "hw_jpg.jpg"; private var loader:Loader = new Loader( ); public function
I am trying to find out how to make one .as file code interact with another .as file's code.like, if I had one .as file that specified options of movies and then when the user clicks on a movie (loaded through xml) it uses code from another .as file to load the correct movie.
I didnt even make my .swf file in adobe flash.. i made it (embarrassingly in keynote - and exported the file as a .swf file) ok. i'm working on this file for close to a week - yesterday i noticed the file when exported - was 1.4mb ... and today - when i exported it it was 6.9mb!
I normally work with print design but am designing some flash banners for a client. Just have some questions about file size.My current banner is 125kb but they want it under 25kb. Is that practical for a flash banner?Also, I have done tests with import options and it looks like if I import my artwork as an .ai file and convert to symbol then it gives a lower file size than importing as a png or jpg.How can I make my file size lower? I know it's hard to answer without seeing the file but is there an option similar to 'save for web' in photoshop where I can adjust the quality to reduce file size?
i am trying to make an as3 file in two different computers. they both have cs3, and there are some things that 1. tell me flash is buggy, 2. dont know how reliable it is the script, if is gonna run different in each computer.
i am trying to do somethings with matrix transform. i want some sprite to react according to mouse moment, so basically, according to mouse position, there are some statements and the result is a transform on the sprite.
something like
in onenterframe (or the handler that was set as handler of enterframe) { temp_matrix = sprite transform new_matrix = new Matrix();
[code]....
var2.concat with something else, then i check the value of var1, would it have changed also?, if so, is there a way to copy a matrix (but not cell by cell)?
I want that my flash file on my website, can't be downloaded by anyone. Is there any way that i can do that? As Firefox and many browser has many add-ones which easily detect out flash content and after they can download the flash file?
However, when I copy the directory to my windows CE 6.0 R3 device, the page that opens abc2.swf shows correctly. But the page that is supposed to open abc1.swf just shows a blank white area.
I am pretty sure that the abc1.swf is only supposed to redirect to abc2.swf (or put within a frame) given it's 1kb size and the fact that I can see the text abc2.swf within it when opened in notepad.
I've been told that the flash player built into Windows CE 6.0 R3 is only capable of supporting flash v8 or less. I suspect that perhaps the issue with abc.swf could be that it was built with a newer version of flash such as v9 or v10.
Is there any way for me to tell which version of flash a given .swf file requires using only freely available tools? Or, does anyone have any other theories about what would cause abc1.swf to work on my PC but not on my windows CE device?
I want to create a clip dynamically (for example with createEmptyMovieClip) and after assign object and motion to it, save or export it as a .swf file.
I have a free Cu3r Slider and I need to embed a font of mine. I tried sIFR but no succes. Does anybody have all the settings we can make with the xml file for cu3er?
i found a flipping book example, it seems nice.. but when i tried to convert its swf file to make some changes, the result fla file have problems with the code.. this below:
Which is preferred and why: keeping the AS in the Flash file itself, or linking to the .as with the Flash file. I've seen both done. Is it just a matter of preference?
how I can make a page to dowload a file? I am making a site to allow users to dowload web templates and was wondering if I can make a the usual dowload bow apear so the user can dowload a file that I will put on the server. Is this possible with AS3? If not how can I do it?
I am having one of those 'self doubt sanity' moments. Entering melt down here ! I want to make a movieclip from a graphic map background, and some existing movieClips that reside in another .fla
In this other .fla file the movieclips are in the wrong layer so by starting over I wish to tidy things up.
How do I create a movie clip from such ?
Then I start thinking, how does one create a movie clip, then bring it into another file ?
I even did a test that went:-
1) create new AS3 file
2) draw a box
3) select box and hit F8 Convert to symbol, select movieclip and name it box_movieclip
4) d/click box and made a classic tween and had box moving across stage.
5) save as and named file MovieClip_Boxtest.fla
6) open new file AS3 and import to library the BoxTween.fla and got a message saying One or more files not imported as problems reading them.
So having done the above stages 1 to 5 which made a movieclip, how do I get that into another fla file ?
How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear? The following code works great for movie clips but throwing an error while using for .swf files. Introduction_mc.visible = false; >>> This code works fine Clock.swf.visible = false; >>>> This code throws an error (How to resolve this problem?)
