View 1 Replies[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

Basically I have a swf portfolio site. I have to load anexternal swf that's the same size as the main swf site, which meansthat the close button (for the external swf) needs to be on theexternal swf. I have the load and unload code on the main swf, butI'm getting a 1120 error - it's not recognizing the instance of theexternal button....and I don't see how it would recognize it,unless there was some other way of linking the filesbtw - I'm fairly new to AS3 & AS2, but they're at leastmore fun than the Pascal & TSR-80 basic I remember fromelementary & middle school...:0)

View 9 RepliesI recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

View 1 RepliesCurrently I'm trying to call a window.close with external interface. It works fine, however, I also have a window.beforeunload call in my javascript so the close button ends up calling two windows. One is the "this page is trying to close...blah blah blah" and the other is the custom one i wrote.
Is there anyway to call onbeforeunload combined with window.close from external interface so that i only get one warning?
I have a picture with an invisible button, once clicked on the button runs a movieclip with an instance - box1, once its opened a close button appeared, called closeBtn1 and the idea is when thats clicked, for box1 to gotoAndPlay frame 80, but no matter where I put the code it doesnt seem to let the closeBtn work! Even trace actions aren't getting recognised![code]as u can see I'm trying to trace even if the closeBtn gets rolled over but to no avail.I have also tried it from scene level and still no joy.

I have created a windowless swf file that loads up on a webpage and i have a close window button, but when i use the

i need to pan a large image. I didn�t used the kirupa example, because this was more what i was looking for. The problem is that a i need a close button so i can go back to the small image (unload it). Example:picture1.swf (contaings a medium size picture) when i click over it, goes to picture1_big.swf where i can pan the image.The problem is that if i put a close button it doesnt recognize it. Everything is made with AS.

Have been having difficulty with this issue of getting a close button to work within a mc popup box (it is doing my head in !) Basically I have a Button on the stage that launches a popup mc. To close this popup, I have a 'x' for the user to click on to close this box. I don't want the box to become 'invisible' or for the whole box to close when clicked on (I have tried both but not what i am after). It is important for user to be able to relaunch this box by clicking on the button after closing previously.
It would be great if anyone would be able to view the fla atatched and explain what needs to be included, and perhaps upload a working verison.
I am wondering if you can do a close button in a Flash movie if you do not launch the page via a pop up window?
If so, how do you do this?
I have rendered out a FLV with alpha enabled and using wmode options correctly, i am able to get my flash content embed on top of my pages, over the content.
1) I need the embedded flash content to have a close button, otherwise what i am seeing is a flash movie playing on without an option to close. Tried a button with on (release){getURL("java script:window.opener=self;self.close();");}
Is it that I have to place the FLV (alpha enabled) within a movieclip? and add a button there?
2) Also I need to start this content in the webpage using a mouse over over a button.
how to make a flash pop up ad with close button? I also need it to close after the movie ends.
Similar to this ad.
