Loading Different SWF Files In Sequence
May 25, 2011
I'm doing a presentation where it loads different swf files in sequence. I already have a holder with width = 819, height = 614. Right now, I'm loading 1024x768 swf files in it.
This is the code in use:
loadMovie("movie1.swf", holder);
holder._width = 819;
holder._height = 614;
The swf file is loading in the correct position, but when I test play it, the first one [movie1.swf] loads and plays in it's original size [1024x768], then the following one [movie2.swf] loads and plays the way I want it [819x614]... Then when the whole movie loops again, now, the first one [movie1.swf] plays the way I want it to.

I have a fla file that I've created to load 7 external swf files. I am able to create the code to load one swf file without any trouble but I can't figure out the code to get it load swf #2 when #1 is done, and so on. My code for one is below:

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.

I want to to load a series of swf files into a scene sequentially. I stumbled onto some Actionscript 3.0 code in this forum that accomplishes this.
var a:Array = new Array("1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf");var l:Loader; function didLoad(e:Event){addChild(l);doLoad();} function doLoad(){if (a.length) {l = new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, didLoad);l.load(new URLRequest(a.splice(0,1)));}} doLoad();
Unfortunately, I also want to be able to load the swf files into movie clips in the scene. This code doesn't do that. It loads the swf files on top of each other sequentially. I want to be able to position the swf files side by side. how to tweak the code to load the swf files into movie clips in the scene.
I can't seem to make it work. No matter how much I play with it:

I've since lost contact with the person assisting me. I've read up on arrays, and I don't think that this is my problem or why I can't get my head around it. Maybe its the loop?

I have created a number of flash files, and now want to combine them all into one single movie file. For example, the files run like this: section1.swf - section2.swf - section3.swf - section4.swfI have created a 'host' file, to load the individual files, but I want to play these files in sequence. So that at the end of section1.swf, section2.swf will play and so on.... Can anybody guide me as to what is the most straightforward method of doing this? I have little or no knowledge of actionscript so the simpler the better for me

I have a main movie with 12 buttons (numbered 1-12), each button loads the relevant swf into a blank 'content' MC on the main stage.I also need to have 1 button called 'start' which plays whichever swf is due next. ie; if you are on swf no. 3 pressing start will load swf no. 4. I guess a simple way would be to have the 'start' button tell the 'content' movie to go to a certain frame which has an action on it to load whichever movie is next... ?

Now I'd like to add duplicates of the thumbs so as to appear like a reflection. Created another loader and loaded each file again. (Tried "ldr2.content=ldr1.content" and many other versions of that statement to try and set the second loader's content to be the same as the first's, but could not get anything to work. So I had to resort to loading the thumbs again.)
Did that. Still so far, so good. Even used the "rotationX=180" trick you guys showed me to flip the photos. Set the ldr2's "y" to "ldr1.y - event.target.content.height" I learned from yous as well. Got that working and now have two rows of photo thumbnails. Just looking forward to applying a mask (something else you guys showed me) to make the reflection fade real nice.
HOWEVER, at run time, it loads the photos into the two rows of loaders in a different sequence. They're displayed OK, and it would work except for the fact that the second row of photos, the ones rotated 180 degrees along their X-axes - the "reflections" - are not in the same order as the first row.
how to control the order in which the XML file is loaded so that both rows of photos (thumbs, actually) match up? Do some things just load faster and appear random even though the same XML file is being used?

I've got a sequence of 200 images, which are named image_1, image_2 - image_200. All in the same folder. I need to load one, then the next etc, without any human intervention (the reason is below). The following code works locally but when I upload it, it only loads the last image (image 200). I can see why - as the "for loop" is going "full speed", whilst the loading is not being allowed to complete. I need to say "only upload the next image when the current one has finished loading".
My ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);
holder._x = 20;
holder._y = 50;
//timeline.onEnterFrame = LoadMovie;
function GetFileName(name) {
[Code] .....
My reason for this is I'd like to load them sequentially so that once one has finished loaded, load the next (the idea is to build the cache whilst the viewer reads an introduction - the trouble was the image was too large, so I've broken it into 200 tiles).

I need to upload about 200 images but I want them to load sequentially, i.e. when image1.jpg has uploaded, then I need image 2 to upload etc.
Ive attached the Fla. But all the code below:
My trouble is its going straight through the loop and not actually loading the images.
ActionScript Code:
var i:int = 0;
// create and position empty clips for images
// one for load and when the complete - load into the other

I have a 'base' MC on the root. On to which I am trying to load several external .swf sequentially. (sn1.swf, sn2.swf...) I see that there is a small lag or a quick flicker when one movie ends and another loads. Is there a way to solve this so the movies load seamlessly?

I am loading an array of movie clips and adding them to the stage with flash as3, but the problem is that the movie clips are added to the stage as soon as they finish loading, and not in order of there position in the array, so the order on screen appears messed up. How do I ensure that they are added to the stage in the same order that their references exist in the URL?
Here is my code:
var currentLoaded:int = 0;
function loadThumbs(){
for (var i in project_array){
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();

how to code a simple load sequence scene. This is how I had it set up in AS2 -I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a 10 frame shape tween in Scene 1. On the 9th frame, I assigned actionscript that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded, and if it is, gotoAndPlay Scene 2, Frame 1. Then have action in frame 10 of Scene 1 that says to gotoAndPlay scene 1 frame 1 of the current scene. This way scene 1 loops until frame 40 of scene 2 is loaded, at that point, scene 2 frame 1 plays.
How could I set this up in AS3? Here is what I tried - I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a MC that is a simple shape tween that loops in the "Scene 1". I'm trying to assign codein "Scene 1" that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded. If it is, gotoAndplay Scene 2 frame 1. If frame 40 of Scene 2 is not loaded, continure to loop the MC unitil it is. Here is the code I've got for the MC in the "Scene 1"

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?

I've got a website w/ a few different pages (each it's own swf file). When buttons are pressed the first time things seem good. But if you return to a button that's already loaded once, the movie clip file that has the navigation (and is the background), loads either too slow or too quick for the other swf files and it gets stuck in random spots. It's hard to explain, but something is not working properly.

I have an issue with a script I created that loads text strings from a file on my server.The swf file loads a message from a .txt file, displays it in an animation when the animation finishes it loops back to the start and loads the next message and displays it in the animation.
All works fine. However the script reads the text file from the server on every loop ( 3 seconds ) This will be hard on my server so... Is there a way to read the text file once only and then loop through the eight statements?

Assuming I have a file like this:
Name: Test
Extension: .whatever
Content: randomcontent1234@!$
How would I load it? Could it be loaded the same way as .txt is? Would I have to make a new class similar to the URLLoader class?

I'm new to AS3, and am trying to understand how externally loaded SWFs work in AS3. Since Flash 4/5, it was common to have one main SWF file in a Flash web project, and then load other SWF files into it, often for various "sections" of a website or web project. In the main file, we'd have masks animating the container movieclip(in which external sections/SWF files were loaded) and have animations and transitions play as the section finished loading and the loaded content was displayed.
In AS3, I've used the Loader class to load and display the external file, my main problem is in communicating with the loaded content, call it's functions, or call root functions from it. In AS2, we could use someMovieClip.loadMovie("ExternalContent.swf") and the ExternalContent file would load inside someMovieClip. You could access functions on the "External.swf" main timeline using someMovieClip.function();. And inside the "ExternalContent.swf", we could use _root.function() to access functions in the main file ExternalContent was being loaded into. Doing this in AS3 seems bizarre and neurotic, and I feel like I'm missing something fairly basic here.

When loading a file on PC, the location looks like this:

Is there a good work-around for this? Something short of adding a variable for the slash character that changes when a different OS is found? Also, I load XML that has links in it, so changing the links on the fly after they're loaded would be great.

I need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.

In AC2, I am trying to load .swf files in to a movie.
I know how to load them, and I can load them at random. But what I want to know is, if I have say 500 movies, named movie_0.swf movie_1.swf movie_2.swf etc...
is there a way I can load them ten at a time, in order of highest number to lowest number. In a specific location.
In other words, I want to be able to have many external swf movies, about 400px wide by 100px tall, and load 10 at a time in to a 800px wide by 1200px tall movie, 10 movies at a time, in order of highest to lowest movie name number. Each in a specific place, with a next and precious button to show the next 10 or last 10.
Im basically working on my first site, and want to use something like this so I can show my latest articles first when someone clicks on the articles section of the website.
Now resolved with AS3
PHP Code:
var loaderone:Loader = new Loader();
loaderone.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedone);
loaderone.load(new URLRequest(prefix + totalfiles-- + ".swf"));
function loadedone(one:Event):void
