In one of my project, I will load a swf after a button click. I use Loader and try to access the document class by Loader.content as Movieclip. But I find if the target swf contains TLF and if you set the publish property to RSL instead of "merge into code", the content of Loader will be set to some "__Preloader__".

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

can you control/access the timeline of a dynamically loaded swf? If so how?
if I use this code:
Code:
loadMovie("a.swf", "contentLoader");
how can I access the timeline of "a.swf" from the main timeline of my flash movie?
I am pulling double duty with this question as it serves two purposes. I am developing a total flash controlled ad system for myself, but also need to use the same theory for a project for work.
Concept: I have a main movie (ad rotator system) that I then want to randomly load other swf's (individual ads) into this main swf after a set period of time. The random load I got set no problem. The problem I am having is to get it to move to the new Frame label of the main movie which then loads the smaller swfs. I am using the LoadMovie with nInterval time delay command in flash to load the movies.

dim background content after loading an external swf into main swf. I was told that a dark movie clip placed over the whole site but under the external swf with alpha set to 50% would work. I need the background content to dim when the external swf is loaded and then go back to normal when exiting that page link. How can this be done thru xml or actionscript?My website is an xml flash template that loads the text and pictures for the site Thru xml file. Anyone have sample code? I am newbie to actionscript.

My issue is it does not seem to track the progress. The trace statement in the onProgress function only displays after it is fully loaded. I thought this was suppose to loop.
I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.

I'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :
Code: Select alltrace(MovieClip(root)[screenMode]);
But this doesn't work too.
Url...He wants something similar but his site will be 100% flash and so this will have to be done form a flash form.I'm having problems even getting this running from an HTML form. I've done my best here:URL...but since I don't know the original output settings of these flv files I'm trying to load over the submitted page, the versions are messed up and when I run the form, I keep getting prompted to download flash player.Do I need to embed these flv fiels of presenters I have and plonk them into a swf file and then load that swf file from the form, rather than link directly to the flv?I'm tearing my hair out over this - I thought I'd be able to work it out easily from the numerous pages out there that offer the same service but there don't seem to be any resources online that point me at creating a form to load flash content over a submitted URL.

View 5 RepliesI have a loader that loads main application. Everything works fine, except one issue:
When main application is loaded, animation in loader freezes for few seconds (5-8). I think during these 5-8 seconds main application creates it's objects.
I tried to minimize number of objects in main application and it did help a bit, but freezing problem is still there.
How to load content without freezing?
I have a preloader that I downloaded... What I want to do is have this load only a certain percentage of the move before it continues to play the file.I assume that I have to edit the line of code that gets the total amount of bytes for the file itself... expressed below:
Code: Select alltotal = this.getBytesTotal(); // Movie Length
Since the variable is 'total' how do I make it load only 25% then start? I
Code: Select alltotal = this.getBytesTotal(25); // Movie Length ?
Code: Select alltotal = this.getBytesTotal() * .25; // Movie Length ?
i have some MCs with embedded buttons for "home" "about" "contact" etc. they seem to work just fine. i also have a MC clip (main_stage) in the center of my stage into which i'm trying to load jpgs (from an external file called home_back.swf) as backgrounds by clicking on the buttons. this does not work at all and i'm about to drink a gallon of hemlock to end my frustration.[code]i have since gone to MC/buttons to get some nice animations going as it seemed simpler this way, for the buttons at least. but now the above code doesn't work...apparently because that's button scripting and not MC scripting. so my question is how do i get these MC/buttons to link the external .swf jpg's to MC content box? if there is a simpler way to do this i'm all ears.

View 5 RepliesI'm using a wrapper app to download a remote SWF and save it to a Xoom Tablet. The download and save works fine but using something like [code]Screws with the targeting in the loaded swf so that in my loaded swf if I try and call "stage" from "Main" its null. I thought since loaded SWF's had there own sandbox it would load and run just like it I installed it by its self, does not seem to be the case. If this was a desktop app I could use NativeWindow but its not supported on mobile devices yet. Are there any know options where I can load and run it in its own sandbox where paths and roots are intact? Possibly a command it launch it as a separate swf from my wrapper swf?
View 1 Repliesi am trying to dynamically load some content using actionscript into my movie but i already have content on standard layers within the movie. so everytime i start the movie and the dynamic content is loaded it loads it all on top of the content already displayed on the normal layers and i want it to load underneath the content that i have already put there myself.
for example, i have made my menu using flash and have it on a layer in the main MC, when the movie loads it loads the following script which loads the content pages of the site. but it loads it ontop of the menu therefore you cannot see the menu to view different content as it is being covered by the content pages. i would like it to load below the menu so that you can see the menu and choose what content you are to view.
this is the code i use to load the content:
Code:
menu = ["home", "about", "treatments", "products", "weddings", "testimonials"];
this.createEmptyMovieClip("content", 1000);
this.attachMovie("sectionBackground", "mask", 1001);
mask._y = content._y=-102.6;
[code]...
i have tried changing the levels values but it has no effect.
Is it possible to force a movie clip to execute again its on(load) clause contents at any time from another movie?
