View 1 RepliesI 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:

there is an index file, which links every menu item to an external SWF file.
So I finish the project, test it on my computer, and everything is fine.
But when I upload it into my server (uses cPanel), all the links (load SWF) work except a few. But it work on my PC perfectly. I tried everything to make them work, but they are still blank.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?
View 2 Repliesso I've worked with AS for a while now but I've always managed to avoid using external AS files so my knowledge of how to work with them is lacking.

I have a projector published from Mac into two formats: Mac and Windows. The main movie loads an intro flv, and it has a button to skip which loads another swf.When I run the .app in MacOS, it works fine. The video is displayed and the button jumps to the mentioned swf. However, when running the .exe in Windows, no video is showed and the button does nothing.I think it's a path problem. I'm using relative ones, and have tried in all forms:
./video/myvideo.flv
/video/myvideo.flv
video/myvideo.flv

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:

I'm having trouble importing an external .swf into my .fla. file. The only AS that is working gor me is-
loadMovie("panoSceneNoMarkers.swf", _root);
However, once the swf shows, it replaces the background interface. I assume I have to add a _level into the code but how?

I've been making a game using Adobe Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 on my desktop and it was working fine. I tried to transfer the folder containing the flash file and all of the .as files to my laptop via a jump drive and now, when I run the the swf, it doesn't appear to be loading any of my .as files. All of the files are still located in the same folder as my flash files and it still compiles and runs fine on my desktop.

My ProblemI have a large (30mb) swf file created in InDesign. It's an interactive PDF. Now rather then allowing people to view it straight away and having to wait elements to load we'd like to pre-load it somehow.
I was wondering how I might go about building a preloader for this SWF file. I have limited knowledge of action script, and most of that was as2 rather then 3.
When I click on a button eg news, I use the loadmovie function to load news.swf. In news.swf, I have the following command (from Kirupa scrolling dynamically loaded text tut) to load a text file in:
stop();
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("news.txt");

I can't seem to figure out how to load an external .txt file into my movie. I can get it to work onPress, but not for a frame script. got a quick script to display an external .txt in a dynamic text box in flash?
View 1 Repliesi know how to load in external .as files so I can update easily. but why do you still have to re-publish the swf in order for the new .as file 2 take effect.is there any way that you can make a .as file be read in & so that it updates the .swf file, much like the way loading an xml or .txt file does?
View 6 RepliesI'm making an image catalogue for a client, and for reasons unknown to me my client insisted that the images be stored as binary data in a database. ( i know, i know....but they wouldnt' listen) Anywho, the format of these images is windows bitmap (.BMP). I've just found out that they want to be able to manipulate these images in flash. So i need to have actionscrip open these images.Since the images are stored in the db they have to be accessed via a php file like this: get_image.php?id=imageid.
This works fine for displaying the images in a browser as i just put the string inside an img tag so: <img src="get_image.php?id=someid"/>The thing is, I can't seem to get flash 8 to load these images via loadmovie. I've been able to load jpeg and gif files no problem, but can't seem to get these bmps to work. Adding to misery is that because there are going to be in the neighbourhood of 40,000 images, i dont' want to actually have the images saved locally.this is what i have, it works fine for jpegs and gifs:this.createEmptyMovieClip("pic", 1);pic.loadMovie("image1.gif");
I'm trying to import some external files to my main flash file with buttons. I click button 1 and content 1 is loaded, click button 2 and content 2 is loaded, and so on. So, I got two ways for doing it:[code]The problem with this first option is that the content to the box is not renew with each click but it stacks one over each other, so I can't use it =/
View 3 RepliesI made a flash movie with 4 buttons that I need to each load swf files into the original. I have 4 selections that each need to load a different slideshow. The second part of my problem is telling the loaded swf where its target area is to be displayed in.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load an external SWF into my project, I am pretty sure that my code is fine but when I try to display the SWF all I get is an instance of my StartPage movie clip. The code for the loader does not mention or even any relation to this movieclip! I have the loader in a class file for a separate movieclip, but no matter where I put the code I get the same result. I cannot understand why this is happening!I tried loading the same external SWF into a different project, and it worked fine.Is this a common problem? I haven't managed to find anyone online with the same problem.
View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to actionscript and was wondering how i could resize a movie with an easing motion? Is this possible? I would like to load multiple external swf files into one "main" movie with this effect.
View 4 Replieson Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay, but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. Each of my buttons has this assigned
button6.onPress = function() {
my_mc.loadClip("file:///c:/flash pictures/picture6.jpg", "container");
};
and results in this error
Error opening URL "file:///c:/flash pictures/picture6.jpg"
What's the correct format for putting in a file path? This may be an immensely stupid question, but I'm new to this and totally confounded.
i'm loading an external swf files in one but the buttons inside the external files wich controls its timeline doesn't work, i'm using AS3 but why it doesn't work.The external file just has some simple actions to move between keyframes in the timeline with buttons goto and some other similar actions
View 4 RepliesI' have a website where I have to load external swf files (contains a preloader and pictures). I am able to load the first swf file but it only goes till the preloader, once the preloader gets to 100% loader it stops there, but it's supposed to display the a picture. I have created an empty movie clip and it's instance name is imgMask and this is the code I'm using to load the external swf.
_root.imgMask.loadMovie("boda_katy.swf", 65);
When I preview it it loads, the preloader counts the picture size and once it reaches 100% it stops there, doesn't display the pic. But when I use
"loadMovie("boda_katy.swf", 65);
It shows the picture. But I needed to load into the movie clip imgMask.
I have a flash file that loads jpeg files and runs through each on the timeline. I have nav buttons to go back and forth. Here is the problem, all images load on frame 5 and I do this while another image is displayed so that they are loading in the background. I do this so that my initial file size is small, but I can load images in the background making the flash file appear to load quickly and loading other elements after it starts.
So all images load on frame 5, then I go frame by frame until I hit frame 11. If I click one of my nav buttons to go back to say, frame 7, the jpeg is gone and is no longer loaded. How to load jpeg files into the library, or at least, keep them loaded after they have loaded once? I have attached my fla file for reference. I had to rename the extension to eps, but it's a fla file, just rename the extension.

From my main file I'm loading an external swf file. This file overlaps the original file so I began looking for a way to unload the original file. I've not been too successful. Right now, I've created a background layer which allows the loaded file to cover the original file without bleed through. I'd rather have the original file unload before the newly called file is loaded.
Here's the code I've found so far:
//Declare Variablesvar Xpos = 0;
var Ypos = 0;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var swfFileToLoad:URLRequest = new URLRequest("holdHumans.swf");
//Go to CreationremoveChild(loader);
loader.load(swfFileToLoad);
loader.x = Xpos;
loader.y = Ypos;addChild(loader);
This code is normally associated with a button event but I have to be able to use it from within a timer function in the original file. When the function is called, I get this message:
Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
I get this message too when I try using it from the externally loaded swf file.
I am loading external .swf files into a shell, when one .swf finishes playing it loads in the next movie. This works fine in AS2, but in AS3 the previous .swf does not get replaced, it remains on the stage.
