IDE :: External SWF Inactive When Loaded For The Second Time?
Sep 30, 2009
I am loading external swf files into my main file to move between different contents.It all works fine with most of the files except with some.The files that work fine have pictures in different frames in the timeline and the navigation buttons within this swf move between this frames to display a very simple slideshow.The files that don't work, I only made one frame, I've made sure it stops there and then I'm only changing the visibility property of the images to view the different pictures.
This files load fine the first time but if I come out of them and come back, they don't seem to load properly the second time.I have tried making sure that the mc_container in the main movie is unloaded each time before loading a new one into it, but that didn't seem to make any difference.the files that don't work are:
Producing / Carnesky's Ghost train
Solo / Film
Solo / Rupture
Artist Collaborations / The Giant Accordion

I am working on a portfolio website and I have all my navigation with buttons linking to other pages, on the base level. All the buttons are scattered around the stage and when one of these buttons is clicked an external movie is loaded in the centre of the page.
The movie is a big white box with a slideshow of images from my portfolio in the centre of the stage.
My problem is that the buttons on the base level are easily clicked by accident, even though you cant see them with the white box.[code]...

I ma having trouble making a button inactive once a particular image is loaded.I have a portfolio section that has images loading in succession with each click of a button (the forward button)i have another button (a backward button that scrolls through the images in reverse in succession wit each click of the backward button, Problem is the button is active even when it scrolls through the images to the first image. I get the following message in the output panel:[code]I want the button to be disabled hen it gets to the first image thus stopping at the first image Or to the able to scroll through the images in reverse indefinitely just like the forward button - able to scroll through the images forward indefinitely.[code]

I'm noticing some unexpected behavior. Some time in the last few months, a change in either Firefox, the Flash player, or both, has made it so that Flash movies that are in inactive browser tabs no longer execute in real time. They appear to still execute, but only in bursts, and not in a predictable way. This is a problem because I develop a Flash-based (Actionscript 2.0, Flash CS3) multiplayer game that maintains a network connection and allows players to chat, etc.

[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);
}

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

The problem: I have a .swf file embed on a website. When i'm on the site the flash file works fine looping continously. BUT when i switch tabs for a couple of minutes or then return to the website, the .swf file lags for around 15 to 25 seconds before it starts playing the movie again.

I know with a standard Flash FLV player you can get the pcent loaded of an flv. But can you know up to what time is currently loaded? I have a chapter selection drop down and would like to figure out when chapters are available to jump to.

I have a problem with the script below:On stage are two movieclips for triggering the tween of a third movieclip.There is also a dynamic text saying "text [1] of [5]"The problem is that if I trigger the tween while its already tweening, it will keep changing the count of actualText but not tween corresponding.-Is it possible to deactivate the triggering mcs -Is it possible to make the count of actualText when the tween is done.
//vars
var totalTexts = 5;
var actualText = 1;
var boxStart = 25;

I'm developing an AIR app that is receiving TUIO events from a Framework for a fiducial marker based multitouch table. Until yesterday I was faking the events by mouse to work faster, but then I connected everything to a TUIO simulator and the problems appeared.
The TUIO Simulator is a java app. By dragging markers on the simulator you can send OSC messages that I'm forwarding to my AIR app. The problem is that I'm noticing that when I drag something on the simulator, my AIR app lose the focus, and the AIR framerate suddendly drops. If I drag something on my simulator and I switch super fast to the AIR window, everything goes smooth, so it seems the problem is that if my AIR app is not the active app it's redrawn at a lower framerate (I remember reading something about this, not sure).
So my questions are: am I right about the fact that inactive windows in AIR are redrawn at lower framerate? do you have any workaround to fix it and to allow me to interactive with the java app without my AIR framerate drops?

In my project I have a dynamic text box. You enter you name in the text box and then click the submit button. This then takes your name and puts in on another slide. The only problem is that you can skip this by entering nothing in the text box, then the other dynamic text box calls you "undefined". I was just wondering if there was a way to make the button inactive until the text box has some text in it. I have tried if statements but nothing seems to work.

how Pandora detects when your computer has been inactive for a certain period of time, without even being an active window. I can have it running the background for hours but the moment I walk away from my computer for a half an hour, the music stops.

I should have saw this coming, there are few mcs and everyone of them has a mask_mc inside, - so that when you click on one of them - animation appears and others mcs become inactive. And so, - they dont. Of course one of them does - the one at the top.

I want to communicate with an object within a loaded swf. I know I can use this event listener and function to do so right when the swf has completed loading:
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadSections)
function loadSections(event:Event):void { event.target.content.mc.y+=2
}
But I want to be able to manipulate a given object from the loaded swf at any time not just when the loading is complete. So basically as long as the swf is loaded, is there a way to manipulate objects and call functions within that swf?
Both the external and host swf are AS3.

i have a mc with instance name "preload" on the first frame of the main timeline, with a movie clip instace "numbers" inside that, which contains 100 frames, with text 1-100, masking a gradiant. on the preload mc i have the following code:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();[code].....
which goes to the 2nd frame once loaded marvelously... but it just stays at 1% the whole time until loaded... i keep tweaking it but no improvement.

URL...Basically, you press button to enter and the tape measure will roll in time with the amount of data/frames loaded. So if 50% of data/frames loaded, the animation would be halfway completed. Upon completion, it zooms in on tape measure and I have animations from there to get to the main site.This was successfully done in Actionscript 2.0, but I need it to work in Actionscript 3.0.

I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;

I have a movieclip that effectively functions as a button, which we'll call BtnA. When I click it, another movieclip containing the content (CntntA) fades in (this mc is on another layer). Then when I click another button (BtnB) CntntA fades out and CntntB fades in. I've got all this working fine for now, but the problem I have is that once BtnA is clicked, it is still clickable and it fades CntntA back in even though it is already active. Is there a way to disable BtnA after CntntA has appeared? So u can still see it, but you cant click it? Obviously I'll need to do this with BtnB and any future buttons I add

how to keep items below my pop-up window (window-component) from remaining active even though my pop-up window is layered above my buttons. I've tried to program my buttons to be inactive but since my buttons are part of an intricate animated navigation system, it seems like a lot of work when there should be an easier fix.

I have some movie clips that when moused over, become visible. When clicked the clips are clicked on they tween to center-stage and zoom to fill the extent of my stage. One the zoom completes, I'd like the mouse over effect and function to no longer be active. I've been trying this by just making the mc invisible at scaleX>1. This does not do the trick...
if (allthings.NEZOOM.scaleX>1{
allthings.NEZOOM.alpha=0
}
The function that is running the MOUSE_OVER is called NEOVER and looks like this
function NEOVER(e:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(allview.allthings.NEZOOM, .5, {autoAlpha:.5,overwrite:true});
TweenLite.to(allview.allthings.NETXT, .5, {autoAlpha:.85,overwrite:true});}
Is there a way I could make NEOVER inactive after once I click on the NEZOOM movielip? The click event looks like this

I have a Native Window in Flex AIR. Let's say the window doesn't have a focus. It is inactive. Is it possible to find out when mouse is over such window? The window is always in front. I heard that it is possible by checking stage.mouseX in ENTER FRAME handler.

I often want to run a movie but are only insterested in the debugging output and switch back to my code or to the debugger.I discovered, that the movie framerate is significantly slower in an inactive browser window. This causes e.g. certain async unit tests to fail when run in the Flex UI. So it's not that trivial
