Mar 16, 2011I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load A Jpg And Textfiles Externally?
Jun 7, 2005I have this code to load a jpg and textfiles externally:
[AS]stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("NFMC", 1);
NFMC._x = 320;
NFMC._y = 220;
[Code].....
Of course I have been thinking about passing data to functions, but I can't make it work.
It is not necessary that NF1.jpg and the txts are mentioned in this code like they are now, it also could be something like a,b,c and d. So actually it is not about changing, but about being able to load different jpg's and MC's in this swf, so that I wouldnt have to use one hundred swf's!

I'm not sure if I should use a Load action or what?

View 1 RepliesFlash - Load Images Dynamically From Library Not Externally?
Sep 7, 2010Trying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object

So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.

In my externally loaded swf.s are a pause and play button which work perfectly using only:

(yanm being the name of my movie file containing my movie!!) and obviosuly the stop is with a stop!
Now I want to add a 'Mute' button so that the user can turn off the audio. What script would I use for this?
I also want to use a 'Rewind' or 'Restart' button to return to the beginning of my movie and begin playback again. What script would be used instead of .play?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Determine Total # Of Frames In Externally Loaded .swf File?
Apr 29, 2009I need to be able to load a couple of external.swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the tips I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the.swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);var mcListener:Object = new Object();
mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)[code].......
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored.how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but playing to the end.)
ActionScript 2.0 :: Quick Code Fix For Externally Loaded Flash File?
Feb 8, 2007i have a test website here which has externally loaded files coming into the container on the main index page. the code on the buttons at the top right hand corner have this code on each of them for the externally loaded .swf files to come in:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "contact";
container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
[code].....
and that all works perfectly fine. what my problem is is when i click on the "contact" button and i'm on that page. on the left hand side column towards the bottom, i have a block of text with one red word. i want that word to bring in the f.a.q. page (and replace the contact page i'm currently looking at) which can also be accessed from the top nav. just a little thing, but i wanted to learn how to do it.
i've put the same code into the invisible button that says "faq" which is identical to the code listed above except i changed all instances of "_root" to "_parent" but that didn't do it. i think it's something like that that would have to do with the problem.
