I'm calling an external xml file and loading it into Flash. I can only pull the varables out in the onLoad function. Here it is.
var courseXML:XML = new XML();
courseXML.ignoreWhite = true;
courseXML.load("presentSlidesOne.xml");
courseXML.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void {

In my flash, the socket server returns some xml data that I need to parse, but it seems that the only way to start the XML object is with the XML.Load() which loads an external file, but my XML file is already loaded into a variable
trace("raw: "+msg);
msgArea.htmlText += "update remote player loc";
var playerLocXMLOb = new XML(msg);

I tried to load an image in the same folder of the flash but it didn't work.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I tried many ways but still didn't get it right T_T
I'm new to using AS3.0 so I'm building the audio/video page for my group's website and I already have a seperate mp3 player and a video player I want to put on one flash file. I would just paste all the layers for both players on one file but the mp3 player is AS2.0 and that causes a problem. I tried to load both swf in AS2.0 but the only way I know how to do it is through an on release script from a button. I want the swfs to appear when loaded without having to use an on release function. I'm using the xspf player [URL] and this video player I found from the techlabs. [URL]. I tried to take an easy way out and just insert both swfs onto my dreamweaver file but when I test the site the video player won't appear.

I have tested with the absolute URL, with and without extension (.html or .txt )
I have testes with just the filename, with and without extension again.
The text box is Dynamic, with Multiline (with wrapping) and I did press the button that says allow html rendering.
So I got two flash movies. A big one and a small one. I want to display the small one into the big one. Additionally I want the ability to resize it, load it at certain frame in the clip and apply some sort of tween/fade in effect to the loaded swf, but first things first.
View 2 RepliesI've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing.
2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does.
3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.
I have my preloader loading my main swf where I'm loading another swf that contains a background.
When my preloader is done it shows my main swf but it takes a while after that for the background to load.
Whats the easiest way to get my preloader to wait until the background swf is done loading?

I have external actionscript files that I call like this:

But if I want to inport the full URL i.e. #include [Url] it does locate the file although it is the correct URL. How can I set this up so it always calls the server as and not my local as file
I am building a SWF player which loads external SWF's. Rite Now. I could call the external SWF using URLRequest.
but I am getting 2 problems How to run the SWF with the frame rate of the actual SWF movie. How can I know the frameRate of external SWF dynamically from within AS3. I have set a layer of 450px by 350px. How do I scale the external SWF with showall property to fit in the layer.
loading another file, in this case an .spt file. how start this code. Its a file that can be loaded from any PC and not just a file in the same folder, I don't think using a URLLoader would work, because the .spt would have to be in the same folder, and thats not what I need.
View 0 RepliesIs there a way to _xscale and _yscale external .swf after loading them? Is there a way to 'talk' to the external .swf file after loading and placing it on the stage? By this I mean: will I be able to send variables/commands/functions back and forth from the playing movie and the external .swf file?

I tried using the tutorial on kirupa.com with using a .php file to act as a "middleman" for this. First I tried the tutorial at Adobe's website but that had no effect, and neither did the tutorial on Kirupa... Mind you I've tried this locally and it worked fine, when i upload it to the web it never loads the xml file.
I attached the .fla and .php file to this post, you can see the .swf at work (rather, not working) at:

I'm having a problem loading external swf files into a main Swf file. For example i'm working on my companies website, i created a slideshow with thumbnails. Within this slideshow, there is a stop and pause slideshow buttons. The main SWF file is my navigation buttons that call for each category (external SWF file). if i play the side show when i click on another category another slideshow swf file opens, but the slidshow plays automatically, when it isn't supposed to play automatically. After that i can't pause the slideshow. I was wondering why it was doing this. But if i load a SWF file and not play the slidshow and choose another catgory everything is ok.

It's done in some other Flash games and in Soldat, and it would make scripting ALOT easier as I can change all of the variables without loading Flash.
I've been going through online tutorials and so forthand yea I'm still a newb. I have a flash site I'm designing and this is probably a simple answer. I've figured out how to incorporate the external flashes using buttons and loader, please see the script below. The main problem I am having is I want to load my 1.swf file as the main home page. When I load the flash is comes up empty instead of loading the swf file when the flash is first opened. I can use the button to load it back, but how do you get it to appear once the flash is initailly loaded instead of just pulling up a blank page?
Code:
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.home == Number(this.home)){

I have a main flash file coded in AS3. This file acts like a container that loads on different AS2 files depending on user selection. This container file is set to fullscreen mode and the stage is aligned to center if the user screen is too wide.
The problem here is that when it loads the AS2 file, it causes the container stage to align left. I tried loading an external test AS3 SWF and it loads fine. Only when it comes to loading the AS2 files will the stage aligned left. I suspect is the AS2 files have its stage aligned to left and I don't have access to these AS2 FLA files. I only have the SWFs. Is there anyway I can control this from the AS3 code?
