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.
I 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:
i'm making a simple portfolio site, and bringing in a series of jpeg files using a 'for' loop and the Loader class. once all the files are loaded in, i'd like to just be able to add, remove, tween, etc... the items from the stage as need-be by using instance names, such as movie clips or Sprites. but for some reason, i cannot seem to figure out how to have each image, as its loaded in, be separately accessable to me after the loop has completed.
I'm creating a simple flash navigation using some transparent .gifs. At present i import them then make them instances and use them internally in flash from there... But, is it possible to link the instance to an external gif file on the server so that the image can be change by simply changing the gif file/s instead of having to go back into flash??
I realise it would be easier to just update by importing the new images into flash but it's a client request and as they say 'the customer is always difficult'
I create a lot of flash galleries with image viewers, that have the standard thumbnail and large image type scenarioMy question would be to ask if there is anyway to prioritise the order that flash loads external jpeg images..... at the moment it wont load the main image until all the smaller thumbnails have been loaded... which sometimes can be up to a total of say 130 small images.Is there any code that you could use with loadMovie, to prioritse that download, pausing the previous smaller thumbs download, then continue to load again after?his way the user could still use the slideshow whilst the thumbs are loading instead of having to sit and wait...
The only thing I could think of, was perhaps add a loadMovie command during the loading thumbs loop that would execute after loading say 15 thumbnails, but then that would still 'block up' any further loading until the remain images were loaded.
I have created a portfolio page (all flash) and am using the following code to load external jpegs. I've also created this button to take one back to the main area. The problem is, when I click on the back button, even though it does take me back to the main page, the image stays there. How would I modify the code to make that image delete itself or hide when the button is pressed?
Code: // set up loader, an instance of MovieClipLoader, and use the main timeline ("this") // to listen to and respond to its broadcast events var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); loader.addListener(this); // define what should happen when the jpg/swf is completely loaded [Code] .....
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?

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.
What is the best approach to add and remove sections if I'm using this method for example.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("section1.swf"); [code]......
Do I add this to button click events? for every section? and a remove method for the other sections that are not in use? or is there a better way to setup this more reusable and checking correctly if a swf is loaded or not?
I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.
Unfortunately the search function on the site doesnt seem to be working. I have a website [URL]. We have created a loading page so that the user enters the site when the site is fully loaded. Unfortunately this doesnt work for those parts of the website that are being loaded externally i.e. through XML files.
An example of this can be seen on the showcase section on the left side of the Home Page.
Can I also mention that there are over 250 images being loaded externally through the XML files as well as a number of text blocks. I as a web developer are completely against this amount of images but the client wants them in so unfortunately they have to stay.
I'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'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.
i need to load an external swf which is in as3...and need it to be played in my as2 swf layout. with a time slider ,play, pause ,next, previous for that swf movie clip. give ur mail id i can sent my original files. give ur mail id i can sent my original files. [URL]
It's been a while since I've posted here so I apologies if it's in the wrong place.
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?
i 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?
I'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 =/
I 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.
