Professional :: Loading Class From External Swf?
Jun 14, 2010
I found some code that let's you load variables from an external swf. I'm trying to adapt it so that I can use the symbols from external swf library in my main swf. I get an error telling me 'call to an undefined method...' and then the name of the symbol I am trying to import to the main swf (testMe123_MC). Here's the code of my external swf as:

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

so from using both my Actionscript 3 Bible and a friendly tutorial here on Kirupa... and another online, I attempted to create a class to load an .swf. I worked through the Kirupa tutorial, and it worked, but I wanted it to be in a class! This is where the problems come, when I run it, I get no errors, the bar flashes as if it's full, and it loads the content. When I try to simulate download however, the screen stays white and I receive an error
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed."

My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.

I have been searching for information regarding the use of loading an external xml file from a variable (string) that contains the location of the item and passes it to the document class.
I receive the following error:
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/xmikxm0/My%20Documents/workingDocuments/freelance/brightStar/webSiteStructure/core.swf contains invalid data. at BuildSiteElements/::frame1()[BuildSiteElements::frame1:2]
FLA code:
ActionScript Code:
/* variables to load XML */
var BuildItems_obj:BuildSiteElements = new BuildSiteElements();
BuildItems_obj.loadSiteXML("templateBuild.xml");
[Code]....
fla is in same folder as class and the fla compiles the swf in another location (outside the folder and pulls xml from the xml folder).

I have created a image gallery. it uses a document class and several supporting classes. It works great. I need to load that swf gallery.swf into a another movie. When I try to do this I get this error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at oxylus.rotator::Main()oxylus.rotator.Main is my document class for the gallery.swf that is being loaded into another flash movie.I don't get why it would cause errors as its a compiled swf and should not have references to that class.

I'm trying out a game from a tutorial for a project, and I'm trying to load the next game from within the first .swf by means of a button, in this case loadButton, when this MC displays on the main swf (this is the GameOver menu screen). The syntax seems fine and there are no errors displaying, but the .swf itself isn't loading.The startLoad function I'm having problems with is at the bottom. I've tried loading external .swfs before but that was without classes... this is my first try with classes so I'm not sure if I named the public functions wrongly or put the wrong codes in the wrong places, screwed up my public vars, etc.

I am able to use the Loader class to import an external swf into my project, its working great. But Im also trying to do a ImageSnapshot of the stage which works fine before the external swf is imported. After the swf is imported the ImageSnapshot no longer works. is there a event that the external swf is bringing with it that would disable it?

I am busy with a big project, for a brief outline, its an induction program kind of like a media rich slideshow done in flash (AS3). It consists of 10 chapters / modules, each module is a SWF with its own class file. Each module loads external and embedded videos and also mp3 sound voice overs at run time.
Each module loads and works fine by itself, but now the problem comes in where I am trying to create a main container swf to load and unload each of the other 10 module swfs, sequentially (ie first load module 1 swf, then when module 1 swf is finished, unload it and load module 2 swf etc)
I have researched for days and realize that when loading external swfs that have their own class files, problems arise because the external swf makes references to stage but it does not have access to the stage yet and I need to use something like this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, whateverFunction) in the constructor of the external file, and "... the loaded content must be on the Display List BEFORE any code in it referencing 'stage' is executed. " as quoted from Barbara Kaskosz's experiment on flashandmath.com. (I cant post links as I am under the 50 post restriction).
After trying for days with this and other guides I found, I still have not been able to successfully apply it to my projects files. If anyone would be willing to take the time for me to send them some sample files maybe my container FLA and two of the smallest modules and have a look at what I've done
My deadline is approaching fast and failing this deployment phase of combining all the swfs into one executable is like tripping at the finish line.
I am posting a link to my simplified and cut down files (for testing purposes) in hopes that someone may assist me. I also want an event to fire on the last frame of each of the modules, and for the main.swf to listen for it so it can unload the current module and load the next module.
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadNextModule", true));
//I think this should go on the last frame of the last slide of each module,
//then in main.as add a listener
addEventListener("loadNextModule", nextModule);
But would this listen for the event firing in an external swf?
I have deleted a lot of content in the modules to help with testing purposes, and simplified and made them only 3 slides each.
TL;DR : I have a container swf with a single movieclip that will contain external swfs that will load one at a time. Each swf works fine by itself, but I get errors when compiling the container swf because (I assume via research) the container swf AND EACH external swf has its OWN class file. In summary, I need the main swf to start by loading module1.swf, then when the user reaches the last slide of module 1, main.swf needs to unload module1.swf completely and then load module2.swf. You can traverse slides by pressing the 'right' and 'left' keys on the keyboard.
This is the error I am getting when compiling main.fla :
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
at main/loadFirstModule()
at main()
I am attaching what code files I can given the restrictions, if you still require the two external .fla files

I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days and couldn't find a solution and Im sure its something I have completely overlooked on my part. I'm attempting to load in an external swf in my fla file using this custom loader class I created. I keep receiving this error in an attempt to load the swf, which is in the same directory as my fla file that is loading it:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.
at flash.display::Loader/_load()
at flash.display::Loader/load()
at com.proj.load::SWFLoadClass()
at test_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Code from SWFLoadClass.as:
package com.proj.load {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Code in fla file:
import com.proj.load.SWFLoadClass;
var l:SWFLoadClass = new SWFLoadClass("colorPicker.swf", 0, 0);

I'm trying to load external images in the usual way;
Code:
loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(_thumb));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadComplete);
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void{
thumb.addChild(loader);
}
But when it comes through to the onLoadComplete Function, I get a sandbox violation. I've tried using Security.allowDomain and a crossdomain.xml file, but it just won't work. Even more annoyingly, if I do the exact same thing, but within the main class file, it works fine.5 or so of these classes that need to load images are loaded from an XML file (which also works fine without allowdomain etc). Is there some sort of conflict going on because of there being more than one of them?

everything was going fine on a website project I've been working on, until yesterday. I'll try to explain the whole scenario first, and I'll put the code in here too so anyone can try to figure out what is wrong. Here's the breakdown of the site:
1) There is a MAIN SWF file that plays an intro and then stops on the last frame with the "Main" Navigation buttons.
2) Inside the Root folder where the MAIN SWF resides, there is another folder called "swfs" which contains six main external navigation pages, as well as another folder called "galleries" which contains additional external swf files for six gallery pages.
3) On one of the layers of the MAIN SWF, there is a movie clip called "mySWFLoadingClip" that the "Main" Navigation buttons load and unload the external swf pages onto. These all work perfectly. The problem start on the next step. This is the code I used for the navigation buttons on the MAIN SWF timeline:
[Code]...
If anyone can help me figure this out I would be really grateful. This is a very important project and the deadline is coming up very soon. Please help me figure out how to load an External SWF onto the main time line and then load an additional external swf from within the first external swf. I'm stumped.

I want to import an external swf file into my page, ive used the standard loadMovieNum as an action on the frame, however when I run the program i found that it interferes with the rest of the page, meaning it goes over the rest of the page. I have a drop down menu, and it means that the text loaded into the counter overlaps the drop down menu, is there any way of making it so that the movie being loaded into the counter does not overlap the rest of the page?

I'm having trouble importing an external .swf into my .fla. file. The only AS that is working gor me is-

However, once the swf shows, it replaces the background interface. I assume I have to add a _level into the code but how?

I've created a couple of flash animations, fairly simple, but the whole relies on loading external swf files and then unloaing them.
The base file works fine, loads the externals and unloads them (although I need to preven the user from hitting the unload button when there is nothing to unload) and will then load another just fine, IF I run it directly from my file system.
I want it to be on a web page, but when you click the button to load the external files, nothing happens. Safari tells me it cannot find the file, and I'm using the exact same directory to test.
So, works fine when testing with flash (CS4) and running directly from the directory in finder, but from a web page, it cannot find the file.

I have created invisible buttons which when clicked will load an image into a UILoader. When testing, an output error message comes up saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///E|/butcher1/images/cut0.jpg
I thought it might have been incorrect naming conventions or instance names but I have checked and I'm sure i've got it all right.
Could it possibly have something to do with my setup of the timeline as I have all my layers on the same line.
Should I start all over?
This is what some of the code looks like an i have done the same for the rest of the invisible buttons
this is what part of the code looks like...
cut7_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_3); function fl_MouseClickHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void{ // Start your custom code // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel. trace("cut7_btn"); probackground.iloader.source = "images/cut7.jpg"; // End your custom code}
