i've been trying to figure out how to load a frame in a swf by clicking on a button from another swf file ,i not sure the code .i got a swf. named as aboutus.swf then in it there is a button in a movieclip in which you click it , it should go to Services.swf frame 25 which is a movieclip.
View 2 Replieswhy my "nieuws.swf' is not going to frame 2 or not showing at all when i press the button with the second piece of code on it? The nieuws.swf has a stop on frame 1 and on frame 2. I can see it right away when i take away the first stop. I use the function playNieuws, to make it all happen.

I have an application swf that loads a big external swf with all GUI components/assets (skin) in it.I want to display a progress bar during loading of the external asset swf file but the images for the progress bar are also included in the external swf file.Is it possible to load only a portion of the external swf before loading the rest. The idea is to load the progress bar images from the external swf, then construct the progress bar and than load the rest of the swf. I was thinking to put it on different frames. Frame 1 containing the progress bar graphics and frame 2 the rest of the assets.

One person however, said the site looked like it was loading in weird. He sent me a video of what he was looking at. It seems like the contents of my 3rd frame are already loaded in at frame one and the ones that load in dynamically in frame 3 never come in at all. Lots of things going wrong here.

View 3 RepliesI have two separate slideshows in my document. The slideshow on frame 1 uses ixia_works.xml, the slideshow on frame 5 uses ixia_windows.xml. wrote all of my slideshow code on frame 1 and created a variable to hold the xml file. On frame 5 I assigned the new value of the variable. The slideshow on frame 1 works perfectly; the slideshow on frame 5 won't even load.
Code on frame 1:
//in order to work with tweens, necessary to import tween classesimport fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I have been at this for two days and I've tried every suggestion on this website. Either AS3 says it doesn't support it (such as _root, TellTale) or I'm not coding the suggestion right because the code is getting ignoredI get the swf to load fine just not to a specific frame. I need the loaded SWF to start on ("Page_19") or its frame #.
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader();
btn_forward.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadMain);
function loadMain(myevent:MouseEvent):void {

Working in Flash5 - I have an swf file thas like a movie screen the I want movies (external swf) to load into-but I want these movies to fit within a particular area centered on the screen.To test this out I have created 3 animations photo1.swf thru photo3.swf and the screen photogaller.swf.The photogaller.swf starts at a blank screen and has a forward and back button. In the forward button I have this code modified appropriately for each frame:
//this is in frame 2

i just knew that when you loadMovie some external JPG. it isn't cached in memory. so when you call the JPG again, you will reload it.then i got answer from here saying that by using MovieClipLoader, you don't have to waste bandwidth and call the JPG from memory.here's quote from the website: "So I can load it everywhere I need it without using any bandwidth. In this way I can attach the loaded resources everywhere in the movie."now the study case for me.- i want to load a JPG in frame 5.- then i want to preload the jpg in frame 1.the reason behind it is simply i want to load the jpg first, then view jpg later without dl it first.the code i use:frame1item is empty movie clipload_text is empty textfieldtotal_text is empty textfield
View 1 RepliesI have a main movie in which all my buttons are, this movie loads the other swfs in a contentHolder movie clip.Now the problem is that I need to link to a certain frame in the loaded swf.
button_btn.onPress = function() {
contentHolder.loadMovie("investment.swf");
};
Now in the investment.swf I want it to go straight to frame 5. I have done lots of looking online, but cant seem to find the answer. I think I need to use variables but am not sure
how to load a movie clip in actionscript and then have it start playing at a certain frame.
View 9 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to add a preloader to my source, but i have an issue everything i have written is loaded externally through actionscript on frame 2, but it still shows everything loading on frame 1.
Here is what the bandwidth meter shows... it is showing everything on frame 1.
I need the preloader to load on frame1, and its not working. Instead the preloader loads with the rest of the site, and dissapears right away.
I've got a .fla with different buttons. when I klick them different loaders loads ext swfs.
Code:
var myloader4:Loader;
this.revista.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie4Click);
function movie4Click(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("white");
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("rec.swf");
myloader4 = new Loader();
myloader4.load(myrequest);
stage.addChild(myloader4);
Underneath the loaders on the label "white" I have to buttons, next and prev. I want to, when I press them, to go to the next frame of the loaded swf. I've got 6 diff ones. (myloader1-myloader6).
I have two flash files, say a.swf and b.swf.a.swf is the main swf file, embedded in an HTML page for a webpage. There is a preloader in a.swf too. In b.swf, when I click a specific button I need to load a.swf, but not from the preloader, from the content. To be precise, the content starts from Frame 24 of a.swf (obviously Preloader ends in Frame 23). I believe, the frame 24 has to be loaded in a.swf when I click the button in b.swf.
View 2 RepliesThis code works great to pull up a swf at a certain frame label. But if I reuse it someplace else to pull up a different swf, I get errors?

loader.load(req);

I'm having a some trouble with loading an SWF into my main SWF. I have found multiple ways of doing it, but I want to find the most appropriate way for what I'm doing.
Here's what I'm doing:
I have a main SWF with 4 frames. I want to click two buttons that will then load two SWF into frame 2 and frame 3. Below is the script I wrote for the buttons. The earlywork_btn needs to load RColeman_EarlyWork.swf into frame 2. This swf is a slide show. The currentwork_btn needs to load RColemna_CurrentWork.swf into frame 3.
I'm not sure which scripts to use to load the SWF's and how to arrange it in the ActionScript panel.
ActionScript Code:
//
stop();
function onbiographybuttonClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]...
when i click the aboutUs_btn , gotoAndStop moves me into frame 3.. trance confirms frame 3, but content in 3 does not apear on sceen. no errors reported.
here is the code
var myStage:Stage=this.stage;
myStage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
myStage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

Is it possible to load an external swf and specify a frame within that swf to jump to? and can you jump to an X Y coordinate as well?
View 3 RepliesI have a main movie which loads various external SWF's. What I would like to achieve is that when returning to the main movie (using URLRequest & Loader class) that the main movie starts at specific frame.[code]I believe that the way global variables work in AS3 is very different. Is it true that I need to achieve this via an external class ?
View 5 RepliesUsing AS3 how can you load an external swf file at a specific frame of the newly loaded swf file.Using the AS3 loader class I have no problem loading an external image or swf movie onto the stage.But what I want to do is when the swf is loaded, go to the second frame (labeled "two") of that loaded swf.
For example, My main movie "main.swf" is blank.My external movie "loadMe.swf" has a circle on frame one and a square on frame 2.On the main movie (main.swf) is a button and when you click on it I want the square on frame two of "loadMe.swf" to appear.
I am building a web site and I have the main movie, which loads a picture gallery (another .swf file) using "loadMovie();" and then the problem comes in - my gallery movie has a preloader which after finishing is supposed to move on frame 2 of the gallery movie, but instead of that it moves to frame 2 of the main site...
This is the main movies button code loading the gallery:
on(release) {
gotoAndStop(5);
Gallery_Sub.loadMovie("../Flash/murals.swf");
Here is my preloaders code on the frame 100:
_level0.gotoAndPlay(2);
And at last my gallery movie's code on the preloader frame:
stop();
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
if (percent == 100){
_level5.gotoAndPlay (2);
}else{
_preloader.gotoAndPlay(percent);
}
I tried using loadMovieNum(); but somehow it didn't work as well.
I'm made a dropdown menu and i have resolved the navigation for the main buttons, but i have problems with the menu sub buttons , my question is: After the movie is loaded, how can i make the sub button go to specific frame. This is the script:
[Code]...
The project I'm working on consists of a bunch of pages, each with narration. Each page is a separate frame on my main timeline. Due to all kinds of issues I was having, I am now loading in the audio via actionscript, rather than placing an instance of it into an object and going from there. The issue I am now having is that when I tried to simulate a download, the movie would sit on frame zero until all audio was loaded, so it took a long time to get to my preloader, and by then the movie was just about finished loading.
It was suggested that I uncheck "export at frame 1" on my audio files, but now I am getting errors that I am making a call to a possibly undefined method (random audio file name of choice). If I am loading my my audio via actionscript, do I have to load it all in on frame 1? And if so, is there any way for my movie to get to my preloader before trying to load things? I have also tried setting my publish settings to export my classes on frame 2 or 3, in the hopes of it getting as far as my preloader before stopping, but no luck so far.
Alright. I have been over every inch of the web to find something that works, and nothing seems to. So let me see if I can't explain this as best I can.
I have a simple flash movie with six images in the timeline. One image shows up for a few seconds, then fades into another image. These images are NOT embedded in a movie clip, they are just in the main timeline.
The frames where these images start are at 2, 110, 220, 330, 440 and 550.
When someone first browses to the website, I want the movie to start at one of those frame numbers and then continue to loop through the rest. So if the movie randomly begins at 330, it will then proceed normally to 440, 550 and restart at 2 and continue.
Obviously the code will go into frame 1, but every code I try, the movie will always start at 2 when the person first goes to the site. If the person selects another link on the website, and then goes BACK to the homepage, THEN the movie will pick one of those numbers, but not on the first visit.
Any idea why this is happening? I can only think because the movie hasn't loaded every frame yet.
