IDE :: Automatically Loading External MC After The Previous Has Finished?
Jun 1, 2009
how to automatically load external movie clips so that they load and play after the previous movie clip has finished. I have attached a simplified version of the files that I am working with.The files are set up as so: Main.fla : this is the main file in which all of the other movie clips are loaded into.Movie1.fla, Movie2.fla, Movie3.fla : These movies need to load and play after the previous movie has finished playing.
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.
How do i check whether an external SWF which is loaded onto a movieclip sub_mc.loadMovie("introduction_1.swf")) has finished loading or not. If the loading is done, then an animatoin inside a movieclip will be played, else the preloader continues
I have a feeling that this is going to be an easy solution, but I don't have as much experience with the Loader class as I should. I have 2 external swfs that I'm loading, but i only want the second swf to load after the first has finished loading.How would I go about doing this? Would I call the loadBus function from within the loadAir function?[code]
I'm really new to AS3 and have been playing around with tutorials and learning about external swf files...Currently, I've got one external swf loaded that plays looped and have a button that loads the second swf (which has flv content).I'm wondering how to get the first swf to reload automatically and play looped again when the second swf finishes playing.I've beentrying this for quite a few days now and don't seem to get any closer.The code I'm using is:
var Xpos:Number=110; var Ypos:Number=110; var swf_MC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();[code]....
I have a thumb nail movieclip picture, when clicked on it comes across the screen from the left to the center, then increases in size. When clicked again it does the opposite and disappears which is what I want but then I need the page to automatically goto back to where the thumb nail is.I have tried getURL but no luck.
I just did the tutorial for building the gallery found at [URL].. I added audio to the slides, and am trying to figure out how to advance the slide automatically when the audio is finished playing.
I have a movie clip (mc) with the alpha set to 0 (invisible). if you click on the stage it sets the mc's alpha to 0.4, before fading to alpha 0 again in 1.5 seconds. Here the code:
I have two xmls, xml1 and xml2. Both have same structure, only data are different. Button 1 loads xml1 and button2 loads xml2. Both calls same function to load XML. First i press button1, so xml1 starts loading, but if before xml1 is completely loaded, i press button2, xml2 also starts loading. If for some reason the xml2 loads first i get data from xml2. But when i look at the bandwidth profiler in flash , xml1 is still loading. When xml1 is loaded it will replace data from xml2. SInce i pressed button2 last, i would want data from xml2. So is it possible to stop loading the previous xml when i start loading another xml?
I have set up a nice video site for a client. I have a sub menu where you can select swf files. Each swf has an FLV attatched to it. I prefered this method over XML for various reasons.In any case I would like after the swf has loaded, and the flv COMPLETES the entire movie, to automatically go to the next swf file and start that flv. I've tried many codes with no luck.
The following code loades text into a textfield the problem I'm having is the routine at the bottom runs before the text loads and the scrollbar disappears even when there's enough text to overflow the textfield. How would I make sure the text has finished loading before running the code that enables/disables the scrollbar?
I am making a title sequence to a flash site. I load the sequence with addchild. After the title is finished I want to unload the title and play a function.
How can I unload the title movie once its finished? I know I should use removeChild, but I only want to unload the movie after a certain time.
I am a flash newbie, how can I get the flash to start playing before it is finished loading on a website? I embedded a FLV file into a flash and I'm going to export it as a SWF, I want it to start playing the movie before it's done loading so people don't think that it's not working.
I have some code where I am loading a few hundred images into an array in Flash. I am using XML to pass in the list then a Loader for each entry like this -
for (var i:int = 0; i < myXML.item.length(); i++) { imgloaders[i] = new Loader(); imgloaders[i].load(new URLRequest(myXML.item[i].imageLocation));[code]...
I want to perform some action once all of these have finished loading. The only way I can think of is to increment a count each time one finishes and have a Timer that checks if the count has reached the number of images I am loading.
i have an animation with a series of colored squares appearing and disappearing from the stage [URL]..except that the squares appear and disappear). Each of the squares fade in and out using Actionscript, with a custom method that animates its alpha property over time. I want to pick randomly every few seconds a square, to make it disappear and put a new one in its place, and my code is more or less like this:
I have 5 loaded swf files, I can play them one by one using "next" button. But now I need a "autoplay " button. My thinking is to dectect one swf finished, then call the "next" function, so it can be played automaticly. The thing is I don't know how to dectect one swf is finished playing.
Is it possible to set a listener or something like it to run a function once the flash movie itself has finished loading?So something like:When this flash movie has finished loading, activate function.Btw. I'm not trying to do this with a swf file loaded into another flash movie. I need this to be done by the movie once it self has finished loading.
i am loading some external swfs with the bulkloader. The strange thing, they start playing in the background ( i can hear the sound) without even having added them to the stage.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code: public function init():void { bLoader = new BulkLoader("bLoader");
Yet another dilemma with my external SWFs. How do I get the external SWF to only begin playing once the preloader ahs finished loading the complete file. Currently when the SWF file comes it has already started playing part way through the file.
I'm using the same code I always use for preloading another swf but it's not working this time. The problem this time is that when the loading bar gets to 16% every time you can hear the movie I'm loading playing in the background. I can just add a stop to the first frame of the movie I'm loading ("trial_1.swf") but how do I tell it to go to the second frame once it has loaded?
Here's my code:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest ("trial_1.swf"); var myloader:Loader = new Loader(); myloader.load(myrequest);
I am looking to load an external swf as an intro to a project I am working on. I want the external swf to trigger the main timeline to goto frame 3 when completed. What is the best way to achieve this?
I'm using xml to load .flvs into a movie player. I have it setup to load an external .swf to level 1 when the movie is finished. My goal is to have the .swf on level 1 select the next .flv from the xml array by way of simple buttons. Needless to say, it's not working. Anyone care to give it a crack?
am currently building a gallery using loadclip method and unload movie method for my external swf.. i have no problem switching external swf by clicking on my image humbnail. but i have no idea how to create a next and previous button for this structure.below is the code to load my external swf.
