Flash 9 :: Loading A SWF In Segments?
Oct 9, 2008
I have a site that is image heavy and right now I have it so everything loads at once with a preloader and once it is all loaded the the site starts. I know I can load images through XML but i never liked doing that since the images seem to load at different rates.
Is it possible to only have certain parts load? Say I want only the homepage content to load when a user hits the site. But if they go to another area then another preloader would show up and that would load.The one thought I had was to have different swfs for different segments, but I wonder how that would mess up the flow of the site.

I am in the planning stage of an application. In fact, the application already exists but I am thinking about how to improve it. It's a sports event commentary viewer- it allows the user to view live commentary on soccer games, written by news scouters during the process of the game. Right now, it's all one big file, reading 7 different XML files on the fly, evaluating and processing them and displaying the data on screen.
It works well enough like this but now the whole thing is supposed to be expanded with live news feeds and a videoclip gallery, etc... and even though it would be possible to just keep expanding the file, I thought it would be cool to instead make several segments and put them in an HTML frameset. Now the question is: Is it even possible to pass values from one flash file that is running in one frame- to another one, running in another frame? Of course I will know the framename- so could use getURL with the framename as a target... but that would fully reload that frame and "cold-restart" the swf in that frame- I don't want that.

What is the equivalent of the following program in AS 2.0?
In other words, how can I trace segments = a line between 2 points defined with their coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) ?[code]...

I have absolutely no knowledge in Regex whatsoever. Basically what I'm trying to do is have an error class that I can use to call errors (obviously) which looks like this:
package avian.framework.errors
{
public class AvError extends Object
{
[Code].....
The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.
I've done a bit of research and I think I've worked out that I need to search using this pattern:
var pattern:RegExp = /{d}/;

I have a movieclip that shows the waterlevel rising in a glass. Frame 0 is named "empty", frame 20 is named "1/3", frame 40 is named "2/3" and frame 60 (the last frame) is named "full". Each of these keyframes contains the actionscript stop();
I have a variable in my main timeline, that contains a number ranging from 1-4. Depending on that number I want the glass to fill. e.g. var howFull:uint = 3 ---> the movieclip should playback from frame 0 to frame 20 AND THEN to frame 40. I've tried using nested if statements to make the mc segments play in the right order:

I'm trying to improve upon the hitTest() function.I have a game in development that involves square robots, rectangular wall shapes, and line segment shots rotating and moving around. Without the rotation, hitTest works fine, but with rotation, problems arise.Walls at rotation 0,and square robots work fine. There is a small amount of funkyness with a rotated robot by a wall corner, but it's not very noticable.The big issue is collision of two rotated square robots.
I can create a function to get the line segments that make up each robot, and the check to see if any intersect. This will mean finding the location of eight points (using height and width and some trig to deal with rotation), finding the slope of eight lines, and then testing lines for intersection up to 16 times. This would be needed to find the intersection of each pair of robots. Those are worst case numbers, some colisions can be detected or ruled out before getting that far in the algorithm, but this check would need to be run every frame against all robots and walls and shots (shots could be a single line segment, though)Right now I'm talking about 8 robots max, maybe 6-20 walls, maybe 5-80 shots on screen @ 30 frames a second.
This is easy enough to create, but before I spend a day coding it all, I'm wondering if the computation requirements are going to make it prohibitive.(If so, I'll probably have to switch to circular robots).I feel like there should be a simple formula to find if two rectangles on a cartesian plane intersect, but I can't find one.

Closed path made with pen tool in Flash MX comprises of line segments & curved segments both.While adding anchor points on segments it is noticed that pen tool adds anchor points on curvaceous segments but not on line segments. Why is it so ? Is their any way to accomlish this task ?

I have a really basic question using the pen tool in Flash. Is there a minimum amount of segments (or something that I'm not doing) that need to be drawn in order to close a polygon shape created with the pen tool. I've found in many instances I seem to be closing the polygon and yet when I go to fill the object it won't fill. I then discover that the beginning and end points are not "joined" together (as in Illustrator).

I'd like to be able to manually extract the HDS fragments and segments from a .f4f file. I have the .f4m and .f4x as well. Once extracted, I'd like to be able to host the fragments and segments on a standard origin (web) server such as Amazon S3. Is there any way to do this? If not, does Adobe have any plans on releasing such a tool?

I am looking for a way to split a loaded mp3 Sound into small segments. I have googled around but cannot find anyth on the matter. I am begining to think it is impossible. My approach was to load the mp3, then use the extract function to extract all the bytes. now for every small section when the user wants to play it it is filled using SampleDataevent with some values from the array. At first i tried to do my idea by loading an mp3 into a bytes array then writing it to a new file and playing that file but it does not work:
Code:
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.addEventListener("complete",loaded);
snd.load(new URLRequest("Burn.mp3"));

I ran into a problem when attempting to draw long line segments - some lines will be poorly scaled and appear very thick. I ran into this issue when building a Google Maps Flex application and thought the problem resided there, but I then tested with a basic Flex application and duplicated the problem.
Here it is:
Code:
var _lineSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
Application.application.rawChildren.addChild(_lineSprite);
_lineSprite.graphics.lineStyle(
6, // thickness
0xFF0000, //color
1.0, //opacity
true, //pixel hinting
LineScaleMode.NONE);
_lineSprite.graphics.moveTo(-70000,-20000);
_lineSprite.graphics.lineTo(400, 400);
The code above will draw a line segment that is much thicker than the desired 6 pixels. The problem can be seen here: [URL]. Once the page loads, click the "Show Custom Polyline" button, then the "Zoom to Problem Coordinates" button and you should see two line segments - one very thick and one thin. They should both be the same width as the thin line. Strangely, in the code sample I posted above, if the starting coordinates for the line are changed from -70000, -20000 to -70000, 20000 or to -140000, -40000 the line draws correctly. I'm using Flash Player 10.

I want to assign different formatting to different segments of text in a textfield. I tried assigning a format to a string and then concatinated it to the text and it was not accepted.How would I assign different formatting in the same textfield?
code follows:

var sngTitle:TextField = new TextField(); sngTitle.text = 'Title: ';var sngTtlForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); sngTtlForm.font = "Stencil Std"; sngTtlForm.italic = true; sngTtlForm.color = 0xffcc00; sngTtlForm.size = 24; text I want to add to the above textfield:[code]................

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?

I'm building a flash website which uses a google map for a contact section and another one generated via external class for a projects section (for each one of the projects available there will be generated a map and a marker).This website uses SWFAddress and each of the projects receive SWFAddress dynamicaly via xml, pulling in the name of the project.The problem is when I test the website localy, on Flash IDE both the maps are loaded fine, but once I try it online on a webserver just the map on contact section is being loaded.I've tried to use a different key for each other -the contact section map key based on an url.Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it because I'm using 2 maps on the same website? Is it because the url generated by SWFAddress is too long (I tried to generate a key based on something like URL...

I try to load an swf in my flex 4 project using the following line of code: <mx:SWFLoader id="game_swf" source="demo.swf" complete="init()" /> the demo.swf file is another project i created using flex 4. the problem is that when i run the application i see only the loading bar of the demo.swf flash file and nothing else. if i try to load a different swf file (for a example a game i downloaded), it loads just fine.

I can't see how to do this because silverlight is compiled. I don't want to load a video, I want to load a component/object that will be instantiated at runtime. Flash can easily do this as movieclip is also an component/object.

I am building an ActionScript 3 loader,which display the progress of Flash loading an external script. Here is a snippet of my code that works perfectly.
this.SWFLoader = new Loader();
this.SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, trackProgress);
this.SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
this.SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loadError);
As you can see, I have three event listeners, each for listening for different events triggered during the loading process.In regards to the above snippet, here is what I am unsure of:
What is the contentloaderinfo object?
What properties does the contentloaderinfo object contain?
Why can't I just use this.SWFLoader.addEventListener()?
When is it appropriate to use contentloaderinfo?

I've been trying to use the following paradigm to dynamically load images into a Flash application:
Code:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(....);
loader.load(urlRequest);
This is the tried and true method and works everywhere except if I compile the application into an ipa file for iOS devices.
What's the best practice for dynamically loading images in Flash applications that will target iOS as well?

I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

Suppose I have 5 links that load different SWF files. I'm loading the first one in the background and I will continue to load the other SWFs once the previous one has completed.Suppose a user clicks link 4 but only SWFs 1 and 2 have been fully loaded and SWF 3 is currently being loaded. Would it be possible to pause loading 3 and skip to part 4 and finish loading that?

I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?
