Linking SWF Files Without Loading In File
Jun 26, 2009
Files: Attached is a link to a file I made named "index". [URL] I would have liked to have included the following files but was limited due to "you-send-it" not uploading folders. Files not included: [but functioning and vital to the site as well as the question]
- xml list
- images [folder]
- thumbnails [folder]
Project scope: Website is an online-art gallery. I was able to get a functioning xml rolling thumbnail bar as well as have it load images. [Due to certain circumstances I was forced to put the project on hold until now.] It consist of 17 buttons, on the index [home] page, which are to call upon an xml file to load the appropriate scrolling thumbnail bar and the images which it loads upon clicking.
Problem
When you open up the index file, go to the actions layer. You will see the script needed to load in the xml scrolling thumbnails as well as the associated images. The actionscript is fine and works in as much as when I save out an swf file the thumbnails dynamically load in and when I click on them the associated image loads to stage as well. [again if you download the index file you will not see this as not all the files were able to be uploaded due to "you-send-it" as mentioned.]

basically I want to embed a SWF file on one site, and then I want to be able to send that code to people so they can easily embed the file on their site,however, when I tried this on a separate site, the embedded FLV didn't play
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.urlhere.com/videos/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="shares">

what I'm trying to do is make a preloader that will preload about 20 external SWF files before it lets you get to my main file. I want to do this because my main file needs the SWFs to be ready to go once its done loading. I have looked around and i found a few ways to do this with the "if (loadedBytes>=totalBytes)" and the code loops back till the files are done loading... this would be just what i need but i cant seem to get it to work. the file just seems to start loading my files but does not loop and just runs the time-line even once i state what frames i want it to loop.

I have two FLA files, call them MAP.fla and ANI.fla, that I have to merge. One way I tried was to load the ANI.swf in MAP.swf during runtime using the normal way of doing it, using Loader and URLRequest. However, when I try to run it, flash detects errors about methods I have included in ANI.swf.
I do know that the Loader and URLRequest method of doing it works because I tried using it with a different SWF file with simpler content.
P.S. ANI.swf contains methods, instances with classes of their own and timer events. If Loader cannot work on my SWF, is there any other way of carefully doing this without affecing my FLAs?
Below is the error message i am getting.
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at stageRotation/stageRotation::pause()
at stageRotation/::create()
at stageRotation/::initStage()
at stageRotation$iinit()

I have created a flash movie which loads a XML file. This XML file contains around 8 links.
Now I am trying to load another XML files corresponding to each link. That is, if clicked on Link1, flash movie should load XML File 1, Link2 should load XML File 2 and so on.

I have a FLA site built in AS2 that once you get to the home page it plays one song and only one song. If I want to set up so that when the user clicks back to the home page from anywhere else in the site it plays a different random song (there are 8 total).
So in other words when you initially land on the home page it will play Song 1 every time. But when you click back to the home page from anywhere else on the site, it randomly plays the 1 of the 8.
I have it so that Song 1 plays every time initially but I don't know how to set it up in AS2 to have it randomly play songs when you click back to the home page from deeper in the site.

So I have main .swf file(I'll call it movie1) that leads to webpages that are not in the movie. The webpage has a navbar which is a seperate .swf file (I'll call this movie2). I need the buttons on the navbar to link to a certain place in the main movie. Is there a way to use gotoAndplay in movie2 to go to a scene in movie1?

So, I'm making this website, and each page is a separate swf file. Let's call them 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf.. 6.swf.So far, I suceeded in linking page 1 to page 2 using Loader, but there's a problem. Page 2, in the player, is OVER page 1. That mean's you can see page 1 where you should be seeing page 2 background.My question is, is there anyway in AS3 to unload or close page 1, right after page 2 is loaded?

I made several SWF files and I am trying to link them together but I am not sure how. Right now I have 3 applications, and a main page. All 4 SWFs were compiled from different FLA files. The main page has 3 buttons that links to all 3 of the SWF files. When I tried to do a URLRequest-URLLoader method to load the swf files, I realised I had to compile all the MovieClips of the 3 applications within the main.fla for them to actually work when you do URLLoader to load them(or it will throw a missing file error). I couldn't move all the graphical assets into main.fla as there are many replica names of different graphics from all 3 different application fla files.
Is there a way to still link up different SWF files without the need for all the graphics to be in one similar FLA file? or is there a way to remedy my situation without having to rename all the MovieClips?

I am new flash developer, and inherited a project which has 4 fla project files. When it runs inside a browser, it appears "window" which occupies whole browser. This project is write in Flash CS3. I have few questions:
1). When loading main swf file, 3 other swf files are also loaded. These swf files are communicating with each other through message. When debug the mail swf with CS3, I can set breakpoint and the program can stop only at limited AS files. My questions is how to debug other AS files in other swf file?
2) I used CS5. It seems that I can stop at more AS files, which does not belong to main swf file. Why?
My questions is should I use CS5, which might makes debugging easier? Is it right direction to go to debug multiple swf? (For CS5, I need to fix some code in order to make the program fully working as CS3)
3) What's best tool to use for such project since CS3 is very old. Should I use Flash builder, Flex. Amethyst?

I needed to break it in smaller pieces because it is a large file (over 300 mb) and every time I wanted to publish the entire project flash crashed.
Here is my test: I have two exe files that should link back and forth. Intro_YIM.exe, which has a button that links to Videos_FrontPage_YIM.exe Here is my code, which is in Intro (button name= nav_4).
[code]...
Problem: The link seems to work, but there is a message that says save or run. When I click run, there is another message that says the file can't be open.
Questions:
1. Is there a better way to handle links using executable files using Flash CS5 and AS3?
2. If swfs were used, how can I have a main page displaying all other swfs as they are linked?

If you compile a Flash project into a .swf file and that project refers to another .swf file, is it linked statically or dynamically? That is, is the second .swf file contained physically in the first .swf file or does the first .swf file refer to the second at run-time?

I have about 12 SWF files that I need to play as one swf file
Heres were i'm at right now. Opened new file. Imported each swf file into the library. in one layer I have 12 keyframes each with one of the swf files in it. I need the swf to play through then go to the next keyframe and play that movie and so on.
I guess the question is I'm not sure where to put the actions (on each of the keyframes or in the swf file or both) and I'm not sure what actions need to be used.

trying to use a CMS to import swf files. These swf files currently access source files through the standard code of: [url]...
and all works fine when testing on my machine because the swf is next to the file folder [url]....what I need to figure out is, is it possible to reference the [url]... folder as an absolute URL e.g. (http:url..) or is there another workaround I am not seeing?

I am trying to figure out how to link a bunch of buttons to different photo albums inside a single HTML page in Dreamweaver. Here is an example of what I mean: [URL]
Unless I'm mistaken, everything in this website is contained within one HTML document.When you click on any of the various buttons in the portfolio menu, they simply load up and appear inside the same HTML document.
How on earth do you do this without clicking on any of the various buttons and having them linked to another page??

I 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

I have a conundrum in that I have 5 SWF files, I have various buttons in these SWF files linking to one another. Now all I want to do is have these buttons open up the relevant SWF file (and therefore completely replace the current SWF).I have been using a Loader class so far, but have just realised that this simply loads the new SWF into the original one! (Because I am dense), and everytime a button is clicked its loading the SWF on top of the original (slowing down my program quite a lot, as you can imagine!)
Is there no simple way of just linking these SWFs together without loading them on top of another? (I looked up unloadAndStop, but I can't get it to work in my SWFs! I have also read containers being mentioned, but I would rather stay clear of that as well if I can!)

I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

Here's my new question: What code I have to input in a button file in Flash, for that when I click it opens a site I've made, in a browser? I'm doing my website in Flash, and the other website I want to put the link was made in Dreamweaver. It's not hosted, it's in my pen, that's why I'm having problems with the code.

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
